1) Introduction
- - - - - - - -

The legendary Z fighters & the most evil of villans in the galaxy return in 
spike's latest creation in the Tenkaichi series, Dragon Ball Z Budokai 
Tenkaichi 3 on the ps2. New moves, new stages, new characters, & a whole new
soundtrack to boot, what more could you want from the latest DBZ game? I've 
decided to get some character FAQ's done due to my recent haitus period from
walkthroughs (many of which still need to be finished!) whilst i've also been
doing other projects & getting chance to enjoy some awesome & dare i say 
classic retro gaming ^_^

This walkthrough is a character FAQ & due to the numerous new moves, & tweaks
to the tenkaichi combat system, the FAQ has been primarily composed for the
purpose of getting the most if not the best out of your chosen character/s.

The character FAQ is for newcomers, beginners, & experts alike & I do hope you
will find it a useful resource for this amazing game, so let's get started

                          KAME-HA-ME-HAAAAAAA!!!

2) Character profile:- Jeice
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

(Note:Character profile is taken from the character reference)

Jeice is a member of Frieza's elite fighting unit, the Ginyu force.

Sporting handsome facial features with a ruddy face & long white hair,
he is perhaps the most vain member of the Ginyu force 
(which is saying alot).

Having being summoned by Frieza to aid in the search for the Namekian
Dragon Balls, Jeice and his partner Burter enter in to battle with Goku.

Jeice performs a special attack, the "Crusher Ball", which he utilizes
when performing the "Purple Comet Flash" attack with Burter.






- - - - - - - - - - -
3) Why choose Jeice?
- - - - - - - - - - -

Jeice is yet another member of the Ginyu force, who also happens
to be best friends with his fellow team mate Burter. While slightly
flamboyant in appearance Jiece is a powerful adversery & is the second
strongest in the Ginyu force. Jiece has a massive combo potential &
while unlike Burter who is amazingly fast he isn't incredibly speedy
however having said that he's not incredibly slow either & can inflict
more than adequete damage to most opponents in the game. Jeice is most
definately at his very best when in close combat & as such has many moves
that are best used at that proximity.

5) Recommended Z items==
- - - - - - - - - - - -

You are very welcome to choose your own potara's to equip, here i've simply
given a recomendation of how Jeice should be equipped to make full use of
his moves & abilities.



Custom 1

A) Attack up 2
------------------------------------
B) Master Roshi's training
------------------------------------
C) Active heart
------------------------------------
D) Hatred of Sayians
------------------------------------
E) Evil Pride

This custom setup will allow Jiece to increase his mediocre attack power 
slightly while boosting the rate at which Ki is recovered whilst a rush attack
is successfully landed on an opponent, the other benefit comes from 
Master Roshi's training which boosts Jeice's initial health by 10,000. The
Final two benefits, the first being Hatred of Sayians allows for a steady Ki
recovery which in actual fact is amazingly fast! you will have greater chance
to fully utilize your special moves on top of charging your Ki manually with 
the L2 button, lastly the Evil Pride potara will allow you to half damage 
while guarding (O button). This setup is a favourite & great for giving Jeice
new fighting potential!





Custom 2

A) Attack up 3
-------------------------------------
B) Master Roshi's training
-------------------------------------
C) Rising fighting spirit
-------------------------------------
D) Mirage

The next setup will focus more on increasing Jeice's attack power while also
keeping his health boosted thanks to Mater Roshi's training, Rising fighting
spirit allows Jeice to start all his battles in max power mode, yes max power
mode so cream those who oppose you with the first blow! lastly Mirage allows
you to dodge all barrage type energy attacks (such as Coolers Finger Blitz 
barrage) providing you use rapid movement (teleport) at the right moment to
dodge the first one thus allowing you to dodge them all allowing for a speedy
counter attack & an opening in your opponents method of attack.   




Custom 3

A) Ki power up 2
-------------------------------------
B) Defence up 1
-------------------------------------
C) Attack up 1
-------------------------------------
D) Hatred of Sayians
-------------------------------------
E) Master Roshi's training

This setup is by far the most balanced you are going to get for Jeice in 
Tenkaichi 3,it allows for an increase in his pretty average defence while
boosting his attack power & thanks to his Hatred of Sayians potara he can
have his Ki gauge increase on it's own not having to worry much about charging
Ki every so often during combat, his Ki power all the while being boosted. 
Lastly he retains a boost of 10,000 health thanks to the Master Roshi's 
training potara, a good option for a beginner wanting to get to better utilize
Jiece's style of combat.

Other Potara's you may find useful for Jiece include:


>-  Combo master

>-  Rush blast 1

>-  Rush blast 2

>-  Rush blast 3

>-  King Kai's training



- - - - - - - - - - -
6) Tips & stratergies==
- - - - - - - - - - -

> Jeice's explosive wave is an excellent way of repelling those pesky rush
  attacks, the moment your opponent uses one & closes in on you, perform 
  explosive wave to prevent the attack & knock them backwards for an 
  advantage!

> Like his parner Burter, Jiece has a speed advantage over most opponents,
  carefully read your opponents attacks & try to go for a sonic sway to
  gain the advantage & slaughter them with your speed!

> Pay attention to your blast stock & when it hits 2 or when it is required
  use SP fighting pose 4 to raise your Ki gauge instantly to max power mode
  & overwhelm the opponent, beware of the distance when you perform this as
  Jiece will be vunrable to attack for a brief moment.

> Jeice's Violent rush (when in max power mode) allows for as many hits
  (providing the enemy doesn't get the chance to guard) as you can land
  whilst you are in max power mode, this can cause massive damage & especially
  if you manage to attack your opponent from behind. Futhermore, when you 
  follow the violent rush up with a 'crusher ball' or even the 'purple comet
  attack' can lead damage well beyond 25,000!!



- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
7) Jeice's red potara password ==
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Red Potara are special from ordinary potara, they grant super enhanced 
properties & cannot be obtained by normal means like your standard potara
used to customize your fighters through evolution Z. In order to obtain
the red potara you must "cheat" so to speak, go to the 'data centre' on
the main menu & then input the following password:
   

4S@%D -XbNF #f)DT sC
CzkLX T+fFX K0yjM VL
 
Now on the character select screen under password character you will have
a Jeice, but not just any Jeice oh no! This is a super Jeice with stats
pushed far beyond normal limits, have fun trashing any opponent with Captain
Ginyu's first mate!

I should also mention that you will only be able to use red potara characters
in duel & ultimate battle modes, which does take a little of the fun out of it
but it's another extra feature you can use to see Jeice at his most powerful!

8) Frequantly asked questions(getting to know you)==
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
 
   Q. Who is Jeice, were are his origins?
   
   A. Jeice joined the Ginyu Force after losing to his rival Salza, the
      battle in question was over who would join the Armoured squad (Cooler's 
      elite fighting unit) with the loser having to settle for the Ginyu Force
      (Frieza's elite fighting unit.) Jiece lost to Salza, much to his anger
      he joined the Ginyu Force becoming 2nd in command to Captain Ginyu.
      It is a less known fact that Jeice & Salza are from the same star system
      however this & Jeice's rivalry with Salza are only mentioned in the 
      manga & not the anime.

9) Character quotes   ==
- - - - - - - - - - - -

    "Let's rock it!!"

    "Crusher ball!"
