Preface ------------------------------ You may be thinking "what made you choose a DBZ BT2 faq as your first ever faq?" Well, everyone has to start somewhere, and at my skill level a LoZ:TP faq is the fevered dream of a madman. I don't really know what spurred me to make a faq here and now, looking back it's obvious that i could easily have sat back and lazily done nothing like i have my whole life, but somehow i ended up writing my very own faq... so to all you kids out there, dont be afraid to contribute! Anyway, Im doing a Buu faq because, well, Buu is freakin awesome! Hes powerful, hes ruthless, and hes a pink polymorphic blob. And everyone loves a polymorphic blob. EVERYONE. Buu would give kirby a run for his money, IMO. These reasons and more solidly place Buu at the top of my favorite character list (along with Goku, but common, who doesnt love Goku?). ------------------------------ 4. Fat Buu ------------------------------ Attack: 280 - 290 Rush: 5 Hits, 2130 - 2220 Throw: 4550 - 4730 Ki: 360 - 380 Ki Rush: 5 Hits, 1800 - 1900 Charged Ki: 1200 - 1250 Kaikosen: 2450 Flame Shower Breath: 10000 - 12230 Chocolate Beam: 9810 - 12030 Angry Explosion: 14400 - 14700 While not the best of the bunch, Fat Buu can certainly hold his own. His melee attacks deal a fair amount of damage, but he is rather slow. Feel free to go head on against slower opponents, but youll have to rely more on your blast2 attacks against faster opponents who can slip in between your rushes. His Flame Shower Breath is a great move, I prefer it over beam attacks, and the infamous chocolate beam has a fair range, so dont be shy about using it. Unfortunately, Fat Buu makes very poor use of MAX power, as he cannot perform a continuous rush like most characters, and his UB is little more than a renamed version of the all-too-common Super Explosive Wave. You will notice that Fat Buu starts his ki charge process very quickly, almost immediately after you press the charge button. Most characters go through a little animation where they flex there muscles and go into a "powering up pose" before their ki starts to charge. This little bonus gives Buu more time to charge up after youve sent the enemy flying before he gets back to you, though unfortunately this is largely wasted on Fat Buu due to his lackluster support for MAX power mode... Still, most of the time you should have no trouble readying another blast2 before your opponent has a chance to disrupt your charging. Also, remember to throw. Fat Buu has the stongest throw of all the Buus, and indeed one of the strongest in the game when you factor in its superior grabbing range. Kaikosen is a nice touch that can help to even the odds against speedy melee based enemies, but unfortunately his other Blast1, sleep, is essentially useless, considering that it takes way too long to work, and you are unlikely to get it to work against anything but the lowest level COM (if your lucky!) ------------------------------ 5. Pure Evil Buu ------------------------------ Attack: 100 Rush: 5 Hits, 1530 Throw: 2420 Ki: 300 Ki Rush: 4 Hits, 1200 Charged Ki: 1000 Kaikosen: 2450 Mystic Breath: 980 Super Kamehameha: 5040 - 13200 Flame Shower Breath: 10000 - 12000 Super Explosive Wave: 15000 This version of Buu is by far the worst, and my least favorite. Of all the Buus, he has the weakest melee, and the weakest throw. His Super Kamehameha is essentially useless considering that Flame Shower Breathe does almost as much damage as a fully charged kamehameha, but without the charge time and at a cost of 3 ki bars instead of 4. Sure, kamehameha has better range, but lets face it, anything beyond the range of flame shower breath makes it too easy to dodge a beam attack. His UB is again Super Explosive Wave, Slightly stronger that Fat Buus UB but still not really worth it, although he can perform a continuous rush in MAx power mode. Both of his Blast1 attacks freeze the opponent, Mystic breathe only takes 1 blast stock but doesnt last as long as kaikosen, which costs 2. If you are playing competitively, dont use this Buu. If you are playing for fun, then go ahead! After all, there is a strange fun factor in playing with a character that is merely competent, rather that the best of the best. ------------------------------ 6a. Super Buu ------------------------------ Attack: 290 Rush: 5 Hits, 2220 Throw: 4260 Ki: 360 Ki Rush: 6 Hits, 2160 Charged Ki: 6 Hits, 1200 Explosive Wave: 490 Vice Shout: 490 Genocide Blast: ---- Chocolate Beam: 10000 - 12030 Revenge Death Bomber: 20040 Super Buu is an excellent fighter. The only Buu fighter with transformations. This first form is great, he does fair damage with melee and ki, and has an extremely versatile set of moves. His throw is the second best, just less than fat buu, although unfortunately he does not have a ranged grab, so youll have to be more picky about when you try to grab the opponent. Explosive wave is a dazzling move, works great for stopping those annoying rush techniques, and Vice Shout is a fair binding move that hold the enemy for a fair amount of time. Genocide Blast is a good move, it can be hard to avoid, though it isnt likely to do a whole lot of damage since not many of the blasts actually hit the other person. Chocolate beam is as awesome as ever, and with more than enough range to it. His UB is once again a let down, yet another Super Explosive Wave variant, this time with some extra damage but with the effect of bringing you down to a sliver of health, so if you dont kill them with it your in big trouble, Which makes this move even more useless than the normal Super Explosive Wave. Still, this is a very good Buu. ------------------------------ 6b. Super Buu (Gotenks Absorbed) ------------------------------ Attack: 2 Hits, 300 Rush: 6 Hits, 2250 Throw: 3400 Ki: 2 Hits, 360 Ki Rush: 6 Hits, 1080 Charged Ki: 6 Hits, 1500 Explosive Wave: 490 Mystic Breath: 980 Galactic Donut Volley: 10000 - 12000 Special Beam Cannon: 1200 - 15830 Super Kamehameha: 15040 Super Buu's second form. This is the worst version of Super Buu, unless you are strictly melee. Every single one of his special attacks are easily dodged if there is any amount of distance between the two fighters. Special beam cannon will never be usefull, it takes so long to charge it gives the enemy more than enough time to prepare for it, or if you release it right away it just barely does more damage than a charged ki blast. Galactic Donut Volley moves painfully slow, and super kamehameha will never be a good choice for a UB. Explosive Wave helps, but for some reason his mystic breath uses up two blast stocks, instead of the one it used on Pure Evil Buu, and it doesnt seem to stop them any longer than Pure Evil Buu's version, either. Dont stay in this form any longer than you have to before you move on to his final form. ------------------------------ 6c. Super Buu (Gohan Absorbed) ------------------------------ Attack: 2 Hits, 300 - 320 Rush: 6 Hits, 2270 - 2420 Throw: 3650 - 3860 Ki: 400 - 430 Ki Rush: 6 Hits, 2400 - 2580 Charged Ki: 1710 - 1810 Super Kamehameha: 5040 - 16200 Chocolate Beam: 10000 - 12510 Super Ghost Buu Attack: 21500 - 22350 The final and best form of Super Buu. He does the most damage out of all the Buus, except with his throw. Afterimage is a wonderful blast1 move, and hi tension isnt bad, although i would rather have explosive wave or kaikosen. despite my distaste for the inaccuracies of beam attacks, Super Kamehameha in this case works out just fine, and once again chocolate beam is back for more, this time with the coolest looking animation (IMO). Super Ghost Buu Attack marks the first truly good UB of the Buus, doing excellent damage with a guided attack. The lack of long range grabs in the Super Buu line was a bit disapointing, but oh well. If your looking to do some serious butt kicking, this is the Buu for you! Also, if you don't listen too closely when he starts to charges up, it kind of sounds like he says "Pickles!". I love pickles. ------------------------------ 7. Kid Buu ------------------------------ Attack: 2 Hits, 200 - 220 Rush: 7 Hits, 1710 - 1810 Throw: 2500 - 2600 Ki: 360 - 380 Ki Rush: 6 Hits, 2160 - 2280 Charged Ki: 1200 - 1250 Super Kamehameha: 5040 - 15300 Mystic Combination: 10040 - 12300 Planet Burst: 16500 - 16860 THE BEST BUU! I love this little guy. He may not do as much damage as some of the Buus, but he is a speed demon. I urge everyone to focus on melee with Kid Buu. Super Kamehameha is ok, and Mystic Combination, while doing essentailly the same damage as chocolate beam, is still a refreshing change of pace to watch. Planet Burst is a good UB, the second best after Super Ghost Buu Attack. Sleep is just a useless as it was on Fat Buu, but Intantaneous Transmission is a beautiful addition. You should enter MAX power mode as often as possible, and if you arent using MAX power plus then you must be crazy. The only setback is that while in MAX power mode his dash attack has the annoying tendency to send the opponent flying so that you cant unleash your melee fury without rushing in again and wasting precious MAX time, although you can avoid this if you have enough blast stocks to use I. Transmission right after you power up. While his throw isnt as powerful as some other Buus, it does have range. Also, keep in mind that Kid Buu has the awesome ability to teleport AT ANY TIME simply by pressing O+any direction while he is in MAX power mode. Don't ever underestimate the ferocity of Kid Buu. ------------------------------ 8.
