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:- Burter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (Note:Character profile is taken from the character reference libary) Burter is a member of Frieza's elite fighting unit, the Ginyu force. The tallest member of the Ginyu force, Burter also boasts to be the fastest in the universe & he's accordingly dubbed himself "blue typhoon" Having being summonned by Frieza to aid in the search of the Namekian Dragon Balls, Burter & his partner Jeice enter in to battle with Goku. Working together Burter & Jeice are able to perform purple comet flash a special combination to make the most of their unique abilities. - - - - - - - - - - - 3) Why choose Burter? - - - - - - - - - - - Burter, (dispite the Ginyu force's ridiculous poses) is one of the fastest characters in the entire game, his rush attacks (square button) are extremely fast & can quite eaisly amount you to many hits causing up to 20,000 damage! Burter is a large character but dispite this he has some excellent moves such as his trademark 'space mach attack' with a great hit & damage count while also using Burter's incredible speed. I would highly recommend Burter as one of your DBZ characters, as once the effort to max him out has been put in you will reap the benefit of awesome speed & power that will barely or never allow your opponent wether CPU or human to catch their breath, making effective use of 'sonic sway' & Burter's ultimate 'Purple comet attack' in which his partner in crime Jeice takes part in can deal your enemy a brutal blow, the only real downside i find to Burter is his lack of moves which could have been slightly better but it's hardly something that would make him an undesireable character & don't let it stop you. As is common with most characters you are unfamilliar with you should practice using Burter in the 'ultimate training' mode which is selectable on the game's main menu. It's a shame Burter wasn't around in DBZ for longer & that he was 'one of the bad guys' I for one found him quite an interesting character & until Goku showed up on Namek Burter was most likely the fastest in the universe (Sonic the Hedgehog roll over! -_^) >->->->->->->->->->-> 4) Burter's Move list >->->->->->->->->->-> _ Key:|_|= square button /\ = Triangle button O= Circle button /\= Up (d-pad) |__| \/= Down(d-pad) ______________ Special moves | ______________| Ki/blast required Command Afterimage: 2 levels blast stock L2 + O SP fighting pose 2: 2 levels blast stock L2 + /\ + O Full power energy ball: 3 levels Ki gauge L2 + /\ |__| Space Mach attack: 2 levels Ki gauge L2 + /\ + /\ |__| Purple comet attack: 5 levels Ki gauge L2 + \/ + /\ (max power) |__| ____________ Rush combos | ____________| _ Key: |_| = Square button /\ = Triangle button X= x button |__| Command/s Damage Hits _________ ______ _____ _ |_| 280 2 _ _ |_|, |_| 560 4 _ _ _ |_|, |_|, |_| 1180 6 _ _ _ _ |_|, |_|, |_|, |_| 1363 9 _ _ _ _ _ |_|, |_|, |_|, |_|, |_| 1650 10 _ _ _ _ _ _ |_|, |_|, |_|, |_|, |_|, |_| 1960 11 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ |_|, |_|, |_|, |_|, |_|, X , |_|, |_|, |_|, |_|, |_| 3180 22 Ki blasts _________ /\ |__| (Chargeable) 1430 damage /\ /\ |__|, |__| 990 damage Throw ________ X, X 1310 damage _________________ Rushing technique| _________________| _ /\ Heavy finish (chargeable) |_|,|__| _ /\ Flying kick |_|,|__| _ _ _ /\ Flying kick |_|, |_|, |_|, |__| _ _ _ _ /\ Flying kick |_|, |_|, |_|, |_|, |__| Lift strike (chargeable) (during rush) /\ + /\ Ground slash (chargeable) (during rush) \/ + /\ |__| Body strike (during rush) O button ____________________ Signature technique | ____________________| _ Key: X= X button /\ = Triangle button |_|= Square button O= Circle button |__| /\= up(d-pad) \/= down(d-pad) <- = left(d-pad) -> =right(d-pad) Step in flying kick X, /\ |__| Step in lift strike (chargeable) X, /\, /\ + |__| Step in ground slash X, \/, /\ |__| Step in strike X, O _ Dragon smash (after full power smash hit) /\, \/, <- or -> + |_| Vanishing attack After full power smash hit /\. \/, <- or -> /\ |__| lightning attack (after full power smash hit) O Sonic sway (before opponents rush attack hits/connects) O + /\ |__| Sonic sway attack /\ |__| (immediately after sonic sway) High speed rush movement (during rush) /\,\/, <-, or -> + O button Counter- High speed rush movement (whilst opponent is in high speed rush movement) O button Z counter O button (immediately after vanishing attack) Counter- Z counter O button (immediately before Z counter hit) _ Burst smash (while attacking with z burst) /\, \/, <- or -> + |_| super movement /\, \/, <- or -> + O button (max power) _ Hyper smash (chargeable) /\, \/, <- or -> + |_| (max power) _________ Combo | _________| _ Key: |_| = Square button, /\ = Triangle button X= X button |__| /\= up (d-pad) \/= down (d-pad) *(Max power)= Must be in maximum power mode achieved through charging Ki _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Rush finish |_|, |_|,|_|,|_|,|_|,|_|,|_| _ _ _ _ _ Rush in |_|, |_|, |_|, |_|,|_|, X _ _ _ _ _ _ Rush in attack |_|, |_|, |_|, |_|, |_|, X, /\ or \/ + |_| Delta storm (after heavy finish) /\ + /\ |__| _ Ariel barrage (after ground slash hit) /\ + /\ + |_| |__| Sonic impact (after smash hit) /\ _ |__|, |_| Raging impact (after dash smash hit) /\ + /\ _ |__|, |_| Spiral slash (charageable) (immediately after jump smash hit) /\ |__| Auto smash counter /\ |__| (immediately after auto counter hit) Burst meteor (while attacking with Z burst) /\ _ |__|, |_| (All air combos are chargeable from the triangle button press.) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Air combo 1 |_| |_| |_| |_| /\, + /\ X, |_| |_| |_| |_| |__| _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Air combo 2 |_|, |_|, |_|, |_|, /\, + /\ X, |_|, |_|, |_|,|_|, /\ |__|, |__| _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Air combo 3 |_|, |_|, |_|, |_|, /\, + /\ X, |_|, |_|, |_|, |_|,|_| |__|, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Air combo 4 |_|,|_|,|_|,|_|, /\, + /\ X, /\ |_|,|_|,|_|,|_|, /\ |__|, |__|, |__| (Must be in max power mode to use the following blast combos) Blast combo 1 /\ |__| Blast combo 3 /\ _ /\ |__|, |_|, |__| (while attacking opponent with Z burst) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Blast combo 4 |_|,|_|,|_|,|_| /\ + /\ X, |_|,|_|,|_|,|_|, /\ /\ |__|, |__|, |__| _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Blast combo 5 |_|,|_|,|_|,|_|, /\ + /\ X, /\ |_|,|_|,|_|,|_|, /\ /\ |__|, |__|, |__|,|__| - - - - - - - - - - - - 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 Burter should be equipped to make full use of his moves & abilities. Custom 1 A) Mirage ------------------------------------ B) Master Roshi's Training ------------------------------------ C) Hatred of Saiyans ------------------------------------ D) Attack up 1 ------------------------------------ E) Defense up 2 Custom setup 1 allows Burter to gain a slight advantage in both attack & defense, Burter's stamina is also increased by 10,000 thanks to the Master Roshi's Training potara which will give him that extra edge of endurance during the more grueling battles such as mission 100. Hatred of Saiyans allows for a rather fast replenishment of Burter's Ki during a battle except when he is just about to enter max power mode, this will save the time of having to charge Ki almost giving you a break allowing for more time to fully utilize Burter's other techniques. Lastly Mirage allows you to avoid barrage type attacks such as Cooler's finger Blitz barrage by successfully avoiding one barrage type energy blast with high speed movement (teleport) with the circle button you will dodge all of the barrage allowing for a speedy counter attack & an opening in your opponents method of attack. Custom 2 A) Master Roshi's Training ------------------------------------- B) Super up 1 ------------------------------------- C) Attack up 1 ------------------------------------- D) Dende's Healing Ability ------------------------------------- E) Defense up 1 This is an interesting setup you could use & i found it very useful, it boosts Burter's attack, defence, & blast power while giving him the same not too costly health boost however with Dende's Healing Ability. Burter can slowly recover his health! As there are very few other real options of restoring lost health/stamina (unless your character regenerates or in some cases transforms to their next stage) this game, this makes for a good way of surviving combat. Try to implement a hit & run stratergy when Burter's health looks like it may give out so as to gain back precious lost health & resume the fight! Custom 3 A) Attack up 1 ------------------------------------- B) Ki power up 2 ------------------------------------- C) Master Roshi's training ------------------------------------- D) Evil pride Firstly this setup makes use of Burter's rather slow ki charging, it will accelerate & give him a chance to use his special moves more quickly, with yet again the usual stamina boost for good measure of endurance & the new potara here being Evil Pride which when guarding will allow for all damage dealt through major attacks & energy blasts etc to be halved & is especially useful for those hard to escape attacks such as Omega Shenron's blazing storm which covers a wide area with very little time to get away from the targeted area & possible danger zone. A more cautious set up that focuses on the use of Ki. Other Potara's you may find useful for Burter include: >- Style of the strong >- Rising fighting spirit >- Gigantic power >- Sparking plus - - - - - - - - - - - 6) Tips & stratergies== - - - - - - - - - - - > Make full use of the incredible 'space mach attack'& perform a combo or even Burter's throw (press the X button twice) then as your opponent flies through the air or falls backward from a smash, immediately follow up with it or if you have enough Ki use 'purple comet attack' for major if not fatal damage followed by a combo of about 45-65 or so hits!! As if that wasn't enough space mach only costs two ki levels & has straight tajectory homing to a degree. > Utilize the sonic sway technique & master it, this can give Burter the opportunity to counter attack. Sonic sway allows you to rapidly avoid a flurry of punches & kicks followed up with an automatic counter attack! > Confuse your opponent by varrying the rapid attacks such as a flying kick & then launch a devestating heavy finish or powerful ground slash. > The special move After image comes in handy in a brutal battle when it appears your opponent is gathering ki or about to unleash an energy wave, perform the technique to automatically teleport out of harms way. A forewarning that against area attacks such as Omega Shenron's blazing storm this technique won't get you out of the fray so use the move wisely. This move will also stack, for example you have 4 blast stock & you use the command twice, you will be able to automatically avoid damage up to two times! > Burter can enter max power mode immediately with SP fighting pose 2,be sure to have stunned the opponent with a heavy finish, then you can launch a dragon dash closely followed by any other move of your choice. The reason stunning is effective is due to Burter being vunrable for a brief moment while he perfoms the pose. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 7) Burter'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: q*qR8 1kghT Nh9kS !v NdMxP 4SG8T PNbfm j( Now on the character select screen under password character you will have a Burter, but not just any Burter oh no! This is a super Burter with stats pushed far beyond normal limits, have fun trashing any opponent with the blue typhoon. 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 Burter at his most powerful! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 8) Frequantly asked questions(getting to know you)== - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Q.How was Burter defeated in the anime? A. When the Z fighters went to Namek they eventually went toe to toe with the Ginyu force, Goku arrives to save the day & defeats reccome with ease, Jiece & Burter fight side by side in an attempt to defeat Goku but to no avail thanks to Goku's training at 100 times Earth's normal gravity, Goku used a low power Kaoiken technique to surpass Burter's speed & he is eventually defeated & killed. In otherworld Burter & Jeice take on Tien who is training with Yamcha, Chaotzu, & formely Piccolo but Tien emerges the victor defeating both with his new found strength, thanks to training on King Kai's Planet. Q. What does the 'After Image' technique actually do? A. Quite a few character's in the game have this technique this useful technique, after image allows you to perform an instant high speed movement (or teleport as it is also known) however it will only activate if you press the right commands as you are about to be hit with an attacks such as a rush or a beam, that said i wouldn't advise you use it to evade a 'super spirit bomb' or moves that cover a wide radius however it will be effective to get out of dragon rushes which the computer AI has a habit of using frequantly & sometimes unexpectedly. Bear in mind that to use this technique you will need 2 blast gauges filled to execute the technique. This technique also stacks, meaning that if you had say four blast stocks & you perform the technique you could actually avoid incoming blasts up to 2 times! - - - - - - - - - - - - 9) Character quotes == - - - - - - - - - - - - Naturally as the title of this section implyies, this is a selection of Burter's voice quotes during the game:- > "Feel the power of the Ginyu force! Burrrtttttteeeer!!" > " Hmph! Maggot! i'll finish you quickly!" > " Here goes!!" > " I am the fastest in the universe!" > " You're through!" > " If I win you owe me a space soda!" (to Jeice & Guldo) > "oooh.... Fantastic!" (to Captin Ginyu) > " Now you better keep your promise!" (to Reccome) > "Interesting...it seems i've found a brother in arms.."(to great sayian man) > " Ha ha ha!! That seems about right!!" > " My speed is number one in the universe!!" - - - - - - - - - - - 10) CreditZ == - - - - - - - - - - - ^ Massive thank you to spike & Akira Toriyama for creating the phenomenon that is DBZ! ^ You for reading & or taking an interest of any kind & keeping me in the industry. ^ My good buddy Nick Kazama who like me is a fellow DBZ fan, a dear friend, & supporter of my work, thank you dude! ^ Burter for being an awesome & interesting character in the DBZ universe ^ All DBZ fans everywhere! feel absolutly free to e-mail me with any queries regarding Burter or just the game in general @ [email protected] or alternatively visit www.myspace.com/danielpaulbyrne, i'd appreciate all direct quries to my e-mail address if you can, happy gaming (c) Copyright Backtrak 2007/2008 All right reserved.
