~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
World Tournament
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a place to earn money and it�s also pretty good for practice if you are getting your butt kicked in Dragon Universe or if you want to beat your friends. There is 3 different difficulties Novice, Adept, and Advanced 

In Novices Tournament the there is 3 rounds. The first 2 are easy the last one is a bit challenging but not a problem. The First Prize winner gets 10,000 zenies, and the runner up gets 5,00. I suggest doing this couple of time to get some money and buy capsules.

Adept Tournament, you can buy this at the capsule shop, there is 4 rounds. This is a bit harder but not that bad. The winner gets 30,000 zenies and the runner up gets 15,000 zenies.

Advanced Tournament, This has 5 rounds. Now here it gets tough, my suggestion is just try to knock them out of the ring but to warn you they teleport like crazy witch gets really annoying. The winner gets 50,000 zenies and the runner up gets 25,000. You can also buy this from the skill shop.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dragon Arena
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To unlock this you need to beat DU (Dragon Universe) with all the 11 characters. You can level up any characters you want here and you can also unlock Cell Jr. and Saibamen. Sometimes People randomly brake in and you can get capsules as well as characters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Practice Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is total of 12 Chapter I recommend doing it because it does help a lot when you start out and for completing the training you get Babidi's Pot

Chapter 1 
Raditz explains about the Gauge (located at the top left corner)

Chapter 2
Here we have Piccolo who will teach you about movements. Here you need to get close to him then far away. Then he will teach you how to evade by pressing x and up or down. Then you just got to punch or kick him. After that you need to do a rush attack simply charge towards him and press triangle or square. After that just hold x and wait till Piccolo is done attacking.

Chapter 3
First you will need to charge up. After that you got to throw couple ki blasts at him. Then you have to deflect ki attacks by pressing x.

Chapter 4
Here you need to fire a move witch is like Vegetas Galick Gun

Chapter 5
Here you have to transform into a super saiyan.

Chapter 6
Here Gohan will hit Vendel as soon is he does press x and you will roll.

Chapter 7 
Just teleport

Chapter 8
Follow the directions to use charge attack this is very simple 

Chapter 9
Press L2 to inter hyper mode then do it again close to your enemy and see what happens

Chapter 10
Follow the directions 

Chapter 11
You will learn how to use an item

Chapter 12
You learn how to taunt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dragon Universe 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before you do anything here I recommend going and getting the dragon radar and just explore a bit because you can get capsules and zenies. You can find dragon radar by the river. Just to tell you there are only a few characters who actually have a story a lot of them have about only 4 fights. 
~~~~~
Goku
~~~~~
Press triangle for the map and go to the red dot. Here you will fight Raditz. This is a very easy fight. After you defeat Raditz you will sense energy and you will be able to fly again. Explore and look for plains you will receive a kaioken capsule. Again go to the red dot on the map. 

Nappa

Here you will fight Nappa another easy fight. I recommend staying away from him when he turns red because it�s hard to hit him and he will try to do dragon rush.

Vegeta 
This is also an easy fight just keep on hitting him and performing deathblows.

After you beat Vegeta you will go to Namek. Fly around and get capsules, you can find dragon radar on the northeast island. After you done that go get the 2 dragon balls.


Recoome  

Pretty easy fight you should have no trouble killing him

Ginyu

Again you should have no problem 

Frieza

Finally a fight that not so easy. I recommend the cheap way by getting near him and pressing square (3) and o it�s a very useful combo and a cheap one of course. As soon as you do that combo use a charge attack and repeat when he turns red get away and if he gets close to you use Kamehameha.


Perfect Cell

I actually had some trouble with this but that�s because I was trying to pull of some stupid combos, but as soon as I got serious it was no problem. For me Cell teleported like crazy so I tried not let him move so get him in a corner and start punching and kicking him.

Majin Vegeta 

The first time I faced him he went insane on me and started teleporting and use the deathblows. I recommend not using any blasts because he will start teleport witch gets so annoying.

Fat Buu
You start of as a super saiyan 3. These is an easy fight just get close to him and throw some punches him and use couple of deathblows. 

Super Buu
This isn�t that hard so I don�t think you will have any problem.

Super Buu 
I really recommend going to ss3 as fast as possible and just going crazy on Buu because your health keeps dropping!!

Kid Buu
He uses teleport a lot!!! Try to do your ultimate move the spirit bomb. If you do the story will continue if you don�t your done with the Gokus story line

First thing you do is look around the southeast island to get SS4. After that go south for the tournament. Defeat Uub and you will get his capsule.  

~~~~~~
Vegeta
~~~~~~

Goku
It�s a very easy fight so you will have no problem.

Gohan (kid)

Also an easy fight but you will lose anyway witch I was really pissed about because Vegeta is my favorite character.

Recoome
This is very easy


Frieza
This is easy because it�s not the final stage of Frieza
There will be 3 red dots go to the central one to fight cooler.

Cooler
Well I was watching my friend do this one he had some trouble (but that�s cuz he sucks)
After he died like 10 times I tried and I beat him on my first try. He does teleport a lot tho so watch out.

Frieza
This is his final form this is a bit more difficult watch out for his dragon rushes but rather then that you will have no trouble. But it is more difficult then when you fight him with Goku that�s cuz Goku was able to go SS

 
Android 17

This is a tough fight I had some trouble with this one but mostly because when they used Accel dance I had no clue what to do. I would tell you what to do when they use that but I can�t really explain it. Basically just watch out for Accel dance because it does a lot of damage. You might die couple times but it shouldn�t take you more then 2 or 3 tries to beat him.

Android 18
This is an easier fight I bit her very easy but she also has Accel dance so again watch out for that move.

Cell (Not perfect)
If you can try to do big bang attack and if you are able to do that you will have no problem killing him.

Perfect Cell
This is an easy fight just use big bang and couple galick guns and he will be dead in to time.

SS2 Goku
I had no problem again try to use big bang.

Fat Buu
A bit tough but only because his fast and his ultimate is Final Explosion witch hurts A LOT.

Super Buu
This is a bit hard fight so recommend going ss2 (you should always) he uses teleport a lot so just try to do massive damage.

Super Buu
Just go insane because your help keeps dropping.
Kid Buu
This is a hard fight he uses everything a lot I had a lot of trouble with this so try to keep on doing combos and if he teleports try to teleport behind him.


SSJ4 VEGETA AND SSJ4 GOGETA
You can do this 2nd time around

Go to the island with snow and go to the muscle tower. Then go to the red dot and fight buu. After that fight buu again. Go to the central island and you will talk to Goku. Go to the red dot again and fight Broly

Broly
This is a really hard fight I have one tip when he goes red stay the hell away from him or you will be dead try to do some combos.

Head to Baba�s Palace. Bulma will tell you to come to her house so start heading to north city (located at the west part of the map) YOUR FINALLY SS4

Now head to red dot on the map and fight SS4 goku just go crazy on him doing combos and firing blasts.


~~~~~
Broly
~~~~~
For the first time I played with him I was sure he couldn�t say anything but Kakarot. (He needs to get laid)

Vindel 
This is too simple sense Broly is so strong

Kid Trunks
Another easy fight 

Goten
Doesn�t he look funny in size compare to Broly? Well this is also an easy fight

Adult Gohan
Again this is easy

Adult Gohan
Hit him with the ultimate 1 time and he will be almost dead

For some stupid reason you lose

Raditz 
Easy fight

Kid Gohan
His tougher then you think but still it�s an easy fight

Saibamen
Easy fight

Nappa
Easy fight

Frieza 
Hmmm a bit challenging only because his tails I suggest throw some punches back away fire some deathblows and he will be dead

Frieza (Third Form)
He got a big head I guess that�s what makes him hit harder but this is not too tough so you shouldn�t have any problems.

Dr. Gero
Beware of his life draining thing it gets really annoying but its still an easy fight

Cell (Not Perfect)
Again he teleports a lot but just keep on doing combos on him and firing death blows.

Android 17
Use your ultimate and he is toast.

Super Buu
Teleports a lot like always and uses his ultimate a lot so watch out for that. I recommend to use deathblows and using combos such as square (3) and circle

~~~~~
Krillin
~~~~~
Recoome
A easy fight

Goku
If you are wandering why is krillin fighting goku well its not goku its captain ginyu.

Frieza (Final Form)
Same as last except this frieza does more damage and it seems faster

~~~~
Tien
~~~~
Saibamen

Dr.Gero
This is a very easy fight

He teleports a lot and watch out for his attacks


~~~~~~~~~
Kid Gohan
~~~~~~~~~
I recommend flying around and looking for a capsules because you start of with none.

Piccolo
This a an easy fight but he does get annoying.

 Saibamen
Again watch out for his self-destruct so keep a distance.

Nappa
This is an easy fight plus he misses a lot because you are small and he is so big for he I almost beat him with perfect.

Recoome
A easy fight

Frieza 
This is the hardest battle you have to face with gohan. I recommend punching and kicking him a few times then backing away and use masenko

~~~~~~~~~~
Teen Gohan
~~~~~~~~~~
With this Gohan you start out with Kamehameha so don�t worry.

Piccolo
A easy battle

Krillin
He likes to get into energy fights I recommend when he uses an energy attack teleport and use your Kamehameha

Goku
This is not to diffcult

Perfect Cell
Like in all cell battles he always teleports a lot so watches out for that.

Super Perfect Cell
He gets so much harder he is faster now and much stronger. I think he teleports a lot more also. I recommend punching and kicking him then hit him so he flies somewhere and use energy blasts

Adult Gohan
You start off with SS and Kamehameha. I recommend going to Goku�s house and getting SS2 because it will make fights a lot easier.

Goten
It�s a very easy battle

Vindel
Another easy fight

Dabura
I think his easier then the fight with gotten

Fat Buu
He uses teleport a lot and he tries to go for the ultimate a lot. Try to do your super Kamehameha if you will manage you should be fine.

Super Buu
He uses teleport a lot and he also likes to his ultimate. Again try to do your ultimate 1 or 2 times if possible.
