[1.] Introduction
Hello, I am Oreno5267, this is my second time writing an FAQ after
having wrote my Kid Buu FAQ. Seeing and reading many FAQs of authors,
their format and writing styles, I had became intrigued as to how
they have spent time on additional changes, organizing sections, and 
exploiting different games. This character FAQ is on Turles of Budokai 
Tenkaichi 3, whom I had played in the game, he is a popular fighter
amongst fans and veterans of Dragonball Z. English is not my first
language, you have to bear with me.

[2.] Character profile: Turles
=====================================================================

(Note:Character profile is taken from Character Reference mode of Main menu.)

Character Reference

Voice Actor - Chris Patton

Character introduction

Turles is a low-class Saiyan warrior and former servant of Frieza.
He leads a small group of renegade warriors across the universe on
a spree of destruction.

Whenever they attack the planet, they plant the seed of the Tree of Might,
then its fruit to gain more power. Ultimately, Turles hopes to amass
enough power to conquer the universe.

Having discovered that the environment on Earth was suitable for cultivating
the Tree of Mighthe and his henchmen invaded the planet. Upon their arrival
Goku and the Z-fighters stood ready to meet them, and a battle ensued.

Turles may look strikingly similar to Goku, but his personality is the exact
opposite. He is the very definition of evil.

When in trouble, he prefers to hide until he can eat more of the tree's fruit
and power up. Also, he can create an artificialmoon that allows him to
transform into a giant ape at any time.

Chi-Chi's Commentary
He looks like Goku, but he's actually that nasty Saiyan who attacked Earth.

[3.] Pros and cons of Turles
========--------------========
When choosing a character to play with, it is always important to keep in
mind to know what that specific character is capable in every aspect before
a match begins, there is no exception that a human player may or may not know
in order to pick a character again. Now, on to Turles's pros and cons.

Pros:
Fruit of Tree of Might is stackable seven times
Able to transform into Great Ape without stage limitation
Gains an additional health bar if transformed into ape

Cons:
No rolling hammer
Only has three Heavy Finishes and Blaster Wave
Fruit of Tree of Might disappears only after B2 or UB is used once
Not including his ability to go ape cuts down on his combo potential too much

[5.] Character profile: Great Ape Turles
=====================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

(Note:Character profile is taken from Character Reference mode of Main menu.)

Character Reference

Voice Actor - Chris Patton

Character introduction

Turles changes into this form under the light of the full moon.

While transformed into a giant ape he loses his intelligence, but his
power level increases tenfold.

He is difficult to distinguish from other Saiyan apes, but he is marked by
the color of his coat.

In the movie in which he originally appeared, Turles never transformed; this
version of the character is an original creation for the video game.

Chi-Chi's Commentary
Yep, he turns into an ape.

[8.] Tips & Strategies
==========================
*Tips
- Remember that if you want to go on the offensive and get physical
activate FoToM and constantly pursue the enemy so it does not have
any time to react and counter your moves. If opponent initiates B2s/UB
while you are in FoToM mode be alert and dodge it precisely as to not
get hit.
- As in Great Ape form, if the enemy is really far from you, do not use
normal dash but dragon dash because the Great Ape form is really slow
due to its massive size.

[10.] Red Potara Password
===============================
Red potaras are different from the ordinary potara, they will
grant enhanced power damage, ki speed rapidly rising, and health is
automatically regenerated which makes it really, really special, they
cannot be acquired by basic means like the items in the game used
to customize your fighters in 'Evolution Z'. Go to 'Data Center' from
the main menu then put the following code in 'Password Input Screen'.
Down below is the red potara password for Turles.
