Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22

Contributors: Max Malek

WHAT'S NEW

This is an updated and more complete version of the FAQ (thanks
to the prompting of Max Malek). It includes

1)New moves for all characters not on the menu including all
the moves of the Bosses

2)Hypermoves, like Son Gokou's METEO attack. (very spectacular
to watch.)

3)Move powerful moves for all the characters.

4)Correction of mistakes including correct names to some 
characters + Bulid Up Battle

5)New notes on Build Up Battle

INTRODUCTION

I must firstly say that this game is a bit of an odd ball. It's based 
on the comic and animation series of the same name by Akira 
Toriyama which is a big hit in Japan and Hong Kong. Since it's 
never been released in the States and Europe, and unlikely to be, 
the game will probably not be translated and released here. I think 
for this same reason the majority Western gamers will not be at all 
familiar with the characters thus finding the style of the gameplay 
alien and hard to get akeen to.

What I aim to do here is to give abit of background information to 
the story and the characters, hoping this will make the game easier 
to understand and more enjoyable. So that more people can enjoy 
this game which I think is a fairly honest and accurate translation 
of a cracking comic/animation with an original game play.

Having said that, what information I can offer here is only from my 
memory, mainly from reading the comic which had been going on 
for a few years. I am talking about the Chinese translated version 
here which is close to the end. Incidentally, the original Japanese 
version has already finished ages ago.

______________________________________________________


THE STORY BACKGROUND

The story of Dragon Ball basically follows the adventures of kid 
Son Gokou . It is a fighting hero story in which through numerous 
adventures and training under different masters kid Son Gokou 
became a better figher each time surpassing his previous abilities. 
Infact towards the later parts of the story, these fighters had 
become so exaggeratingly powerful that a simple fireball can 
create a crater the size of a city! Through all this kid Son Gokou 
had encountered hosts of enemies but had also made alot of 
comrades. About half way through the story, the author made an 
unexpected but welcoming twist.
He made the cute kid Son Gokou grow up into a not so cute Son 
Gokou. However this change actually made the story more 
entertaining and popular. The name of the TV series was also 
changed to Dragon Ball Z then.

The main story line of Dragon Ball Z basically consisted of a 
number of major battles with a new enemy emerging everytime 
and each one stronger and better than the previous one. In 
chronological order the big main enemies were Vegeta, Freeza, 
Cell and Majin-Boo.

You may have noticed that quite a few of the characters have 
spiked golden hair. This is not their natural hair colour. The 
original kid Son Gokou had black hair and a monkeys tail and 
when he saw a full moon he would unconciously turn into a King 
Kong like giant ape with massive destructive power. But when the 
tail is pulled, he would be as weak as a baby. To prevent this 
weakness, the tail was later chopped of. 
It was later found out that he was not actually human but belong to 
a war-like race of aliens,the Saiya-jin with superior fighting 
abilities. Even later he discovered that he could actually exceed 
the maximum fighting ability of his race thus turning into Super 
Son Gokou (Super Saiya-jin) when he needed more power. Hence 
the spiky golden hair.This was again exceeded later on so that 
from Super Son Gokou comes Super Son Gokou 3 with even more 
power.

______________________________________________________


BASIC CONTROLS

The Basic controls for each characters are quite simple and 
similar:-

There are two energy bars for each fighter. The top one is energy, 
which goes down as you take a hit. Note different colours means 
different multiples of the bar. e.g. it goes from blue to green to 
yellow.

The bottom bar is the power bar which denotes your 'chi' which 
decreases as you use a fireball. It charges up on its own very 
slowly. When it goes down to nothing, you are then tired and is 
not able to move for a few seconds. ( During which time you are 
completely vulnerable to attacks)

Notations:
S = Square button F/B = Forward / back on the directional
buttons
X = X button U/D = Up / Down
O = Circle button UF/ DB = Up forward / Down
backward...etc.

qcf= quarter circle forward = D,DF,F
qcb = quarter circle backward = B,DB,B
hcf = half circle forward = B,DB,D,DF,F
hcb =hale circle backward = F,DF,D,DB,B

T = Triangle button
S - basic punch
X - basic kick
O - basic fire ball ( causes the power bar to go down)
T - fly This is actually a form of martial arts when you use your
'chi' to move your body in the air!
L1/R1 - to speed along in the R/L direction on the ground or in
the sky

Hold down either X, O, or S - to recharge your 'chi' quickly. You
will have to do this quite often. You
will see your character has some
sinuous energy around him.
( Noteyou are vulnarable to attacks during this.)

F or B + S (when you are close to the opponent) - 
for a close range attack.

FIREBALLS ( all the direction here assumes the opponent is on the
right)
all the characters has basically three types of special-move energy 
projectile attacks

1)continuous or spread-out fireballs (depending on the character) -
qcf + O
2)Medium strength energy attack - hcf + O
3)Super Energy projectile attack - qcb,F + O

note from 1 to 3 uses progressively more Chi energy and thus will 
cause more damage.

4)Release of Chi ( few of the characters has an invisible fireball - 
the strength of a normal fireball ) - B (hold), F + O

note also a basic fireball can collide with and dissipate another 
basic fireball and an invisible fireball. Whereas a medium fireball 
will be needed to cancel a medium one and so on.

Of course, there are also the Unblockable Fireballs 
(read on)

DEFENSE

1)Basic block - B or DB ( you can block a kicks, punches and 
basic fireballs with this but will take 
some damage from a medium to Super fireball)

2)Breaking a Medium/Super Fireball - S +X ( when done right you
will see your character's arm 
lash out and no damage will
be taken. Have to time this
one, ie when the fireball is
near you.)

3)Energy Shield - qcb + O ( this will also block the fire-
balls but will cost you your 
Chi energy depending on
the length of time)

4)Quick Step - tap B twice (you can avoid fireballs this way, again
need timing though.)

5)Run away! - R1 or L1 ro T ( I've found by far the best method is 
to avoid the fireball by moving 
away quickly)

HYPERMOVES (RUSH)

For most Hypermoves to work, one needs to stand close to the
opponent and the first punch or kick of the move must connect
with your opponent. Hypermoves do not use any chi energy.

______________________________________________________


MODES OF GAME PLAY

1)Player vs computer - self-explanatory. The computer will 
randomly chose your oppponent after you 
have chosen.
2)Player vs Player 
3) Tournament - It's one player, you and the computer will each
choose a number of characters to enter the
World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament. 
You can choose the same character more than 
once. Then the computer will draw up a match
table to see who will fight against who. The rest
is pretty straight forward. Note this is an import-
ant mode of game play because Son Gokou's
adventures in the comics repeatedly brought him 
back to this tournament which was held every
three years.

4)Build Up - this is where by you can pick a character and train
him to become a better fighter with an increasing
energy bar as a reward each time you beat an
opponent. You can then save this character on to the
memory card and bring him to your friend's house 
and use him to beat your friends' characters.

When you first select the option, there will be a
question in Japanese which means do you want to 
start a new character. Choose yes and it take you to 
the character selection screen. After you've chosen
the character you want to train. you will notice that
the rest of the 22 characters ( including yourself) will
have a level number 1 -22 when you highlight them.
At this moment you are at level 0. Start with the 
character who's level 1 and select him. You will 
then fight him. After you've beaten him the 
computer will ask if you want to save the character. 
Select yes and now you are a level one character 
with a slightly more energy to spare on damage 
and slightly more powerful attacks and so on.
Needless to say from 1-22 the opponent is more 
skilled and fights better than the previous one.

After you've beaten all 22 characters, that's when
the first boss character appears (level 23). After
you've beaten him you will find yourself back at 
the start but all the other characters will be 
numbered from 24 onwards and stronger than the
previous 22. This is the 2nd Block. There are five
Blocks in all and within a block you dont't need to 
fight the characters in order. Ther Maximum Level 
is 125.

The neat thing here is that the more you use a pati
-cular move the more powerful it'll become. I believe
it's the move you finish your opponent with that's going
improved. You can also keep on training a move even 
after you've reached level 125.

5)Build Up Battle - You can use two 'built-up' characters from the
card/cards to fight each other. During the battle,
pressing L2 will let the computer control your 
character and pressing R2 will let you control 
character again. You can therefore let the PSX 
control both characters and just watch the match

Before you start a game I advice you first to go to the option 
screen and turn the animation off. There is a short animation
sequence before and after each fight which shows both characters
and the victor after the fight talking in Japanese mainly just 
taunting the opponent. This is a nice touch but it also means 
its takes PSX longer to load as it has load the sequence first.
Better to do without it.

CHARACTERS AND MOVES

Alot of the moves were given specific names which I'm sure will 
get lost in the translation some how. So most of the them I will be 
describing the actual move unless its has a significant back ground 
history.

Also please note any techniques that uses O button consumes Chi

SON Gokou
Son Gokou the leading man of the comic/animation. Here 
appearing as Super Son Gokou. His first master of martial arts is a 
wacky old man, Kame Senin, Grampa Turtle is probably the most 
appropiate translation. Turtle because he normally wears a heavy 
turtleshell on his back ( for the purpose of training!)

Close range attack - 4 punches and a double jumping high kick
Dash elbow - qcf + S
Forward Turtle Flip - F,B,F + X
Four Dragon Kicks- hcf +X ( a direct translation)
Jump Knee Lift - DB,UF + X

light, thus Solar, to stun your opponent
momentarily. Actually learnt from 
Tenshinhan)
Teleport - (when blocking an attack), F + S
3 Continuous Fireballs - qcf + O
Release of Chi - B (hold), F + O ( a la invisible fireball.)

kicks and punches, invisible fireball.

Teleport Fireball - qcb, hcf + O



YOUNG SON GOHAN (SUPER)
He is the elder son of Son Gokou. Mixed blood of Son Gokou's 
Saiya-jin race and a human. Some how this kind of mixing 
produces stronger fighters the ability of whom exhibits itself even 
when they are only young. Thus he is able to turn into Super Son 
Gohan already. This is true also for Son Goten and Young Trunks. 
Infact Young Son Gohan has got so much potential when he 
actually utilises it, he was the only person who managed to defeat 
Cell in the comic. His first master is Piccolo.

SonGokou, he would know this move.)
Hypermove - F,B,D,U + X close kick, take enemy to the air,
two kicks, jet uppercut.

Super Turtle Ball - qcf,B + O

SON GOTEN (SUPER)
He is the younger son of Son Gokou,only 3 years old! However his 
Fighting Potential is probably even greater than his older brother. 
He was born after the Battle with Cell when Son Gokou was killed, 
yes killed, but not completely gone as his spirit lives on in the 
After Life.

Close Range Attack -Superfast multiple kicks.
Goten Descending Head Charge - D (hold), U + S ( he would

Hypermove - F,B,D,U + X multiple kicks on the ground,

Ultimate Energy Ball - qcf,hcf +O
Double Large Energy Ball - qcf,hcf + O, O


GOTENKS (SUPER)
A very strange fighting technique towards the end of the series 
where by two fighters of similar size and ability can 'combine' to 
form a stronger fighter for a limited period of time! Very bizarre, 
anyway if you have watched the animation intro of the game you 
should know that Contenks is made up of Son Goten and Young 
Trunks. They did in order to fight the Ultimate Evil - Majin-Boo.

Close range Attack - 4 punches to the head and 1 kick
Descending Head Charge - ( jump up ), F,D + S

Leg Sweep - D,DB,B + X

(with longer hair) and fly and quick 
descending multiple fireballs

Super Unblockable Ghost Attack - hcb,hcf + O a ghostly fireball
which you can control

TRUNKS ( SUPER)
Older version of Trunks. In the comic, he came back in time from 
an alternative future to give Son Gokou some advance medication 
to save him from a premature death from a heart attack so that Son 
Gokou can help him destroy two androids,namely Android 17 and 
18, before they were activated, whom in Trunks' time is close to 
causing a total destruction of the world. Trunks as a whole is a 
good natured person quite unlike his father.

PICCOLO
Obviously not human, he is of another alien race whose home 
planet, the Namek was nearly destroyed by Freeza. He has the 
unusual ability of regeneration of any part of the body be they 
completely severed as long as the head remains. Master to Young 
Son Gohan and really admires Son Gokou. One of the good guys.

KLILYN
Klilyn had known Son Gokou since they were kids. Together they 
trained under Grampa Turtle. Although they were quite 
competitive when they were young, Son Gokou's ability soon far 
exceeded Klilyn's. However as far as humans go, he is probably 
the strongest. He had taken a fancy to Android 18 during the 
Battle with Cell and actually ended up marrying her.

TENSHINHAN
Used to be a contester in one of the three yearly Tournaments and 
got beaten by young Son Gokou. Since then he has become one of 
Son Gokou's comrades. He hasn't appeared much in the latter half 
of the comic as he is not really that good a fighter compared to 
everybody else.

Multiple Hand Slap - tap S repeated

sky, multiple punches to both sides

Ultimate Unblockable Energy Ball - hcb,hcf + O

Combination - hcf + S (when in the middle of Solar Energy Bomb) 


GREAT SAIYAMAN
This is actually the grown up Son Gohan. The ridiculous costume 
is a super hero out fit to disguise his real identity from normal 
people and his class mates. He was trying to play the part of a 
super hero crime fighter at the time with hilarious consequence. ( 
although Son Gokou and his comrades had time and again saved 
the Earth from certain destruction, your average human is 
completely ignorant of their deeds and abilities and just how much 
the fate of the Earth was on the line.)

and kicks (posing in between)

KAIOHSHIN
In the Dragon Ball Z world there is an Afterlife ruled by four gods. 
There is also a god of gods above them who until the later parts of 
the comic only existed as a rumour. Kaiohshin is that god. He 
came to the latest Annual Fighting Tournament to elicit help from 
Son Gokou and his comrades. (Son Gokou Although already dead 
has managed to get 'leave' back to Earth to fight in the 
tournament!) Kaiohshin told of an ultimate evil who is about to 
emerge again onto the Earth with the help of a powerful wiizard.

up and down the screen 

Multiple Spread Fireballs - hcb, hcf + O 

VEGETA
Not only is he of the Saiya-jin race, he is actually the prince of his 
people, thus he is a very proud character. When he first came to 
Earth he had wanted to conquer it but luckily he had been defeated 
by Son Gokou. Ever since then his only goal was to become a 
better fighter than Son Gokou and to beat him. As far as I know 
he's never managed to exceed Son Gokou's abilities. He was not 
all bad, in a few unlikely circumstances he had actually helped Son 
Gokou to defeat a couple of enemies. He had also fathered Trunks 
and although there was little external show of fatherly love, he 
does love him. But his pride however would not let him accept that
this 'commoner', Son Gokou, is a more superior fighter than one with
Royal blood. Which resulted in his joining the wizard's gang who 
was responsible for releasing the Ultimate Evil. The wizard had the 
power to increase a fighter's ability so he would far exceed his 
own potential. Not willing to miss an opportunity to best Son 
Gokou, Vegeta willingly beacame one of the wizard's subjects, 
thus the M on his forhead in the intro sequence.

An enemy character before the Battle with Cell. He was a 
Conqueror and had travel the Galaxy to destroy other civilisations. 
One such planet was Son Gokou's home land and he also killed 
Son Gokou's father. He originally appeared to be a very weedy 
character but after each fight he transformed into a more superior 
fighting form. What we see here is his final form. He was at the 
end defeated by Son Gokou.

ANDROID 18
One of the destructive androids (17 and 18) who wrecked harvok 
on Earth in the alternate future where Grown Up Trunks came 
from. She was not so much of an android as a man-made human-
like life form. Infact apart from her superior fighting ability, 
strength and long life-span, she was not that much different from a 
human. She was created by the same mad professor, Dr. Gear, 
who made Android 16 and Cell. When the future Trunks came 
back, he quickly found that all was not like what he had 
experienced from his time. These androids turned out not to be the 
monstrous killing machines from his past, sure, they haven't got 
much compassion as far as human lives are concerned but they 
were basically care free and laid back and did not care much about 
destroying Earth. Their only target was to defeat Son Gokou which 
to them only seemed like an exciting idea.

Being an android, her chi bar recharges more quickly on its own 
than the other fighters but it also meant that you cannot quickly 
charge up by pressing a button.

Close range attack - heavy punch
Horizontal Head Charge -F,B,F + S

Close Explosion ( Flash Beam Bless) - hcb + O


ANDROID 16
He was activated at the same time as Android 17 and 18. An 
enigmatic character as he, like Cell did not appear in the alternate 
future that Trunks came from. It was later revealed that unike the 
other two androids, he was totally mechanical in construction and 
possesses even greater fighting power. But in contrast he had more 
compassion and human qualities than the other two and had joined 
Son Gokou in fighting Cell.

Like Android 18, he cannot use the quick charge method to 
replenish his Chi Bar but it does charge more quickly than the 
other characters.

CELL
Unlike the alternate future Trunks came from, in this 'Present' it 
was Cell instead of Android 17 and 18 who became the Destroyer 
of Earth. Created by the same mad professor he had taken a Time 
Machine to come to this 'Present' in order to complete his 
programme by absorbing Android 17 and 18 to become the 
ultimate fighter. His main goal of course was to kill Son Gokou. 
He was made from highly adaptable cells thus giving him the 
unique ability to take samples from strong opponents via his tail. ( 
hidden in his back) He could then master what ever skills the 
opponent had. ( That is why he can use Turtle Power Ball ). We 
see him here in his final form, after he had absorbed the whole of 
Android 17 and 18. It was in this form that he had managed to kill 
Son Gokou but was eventually defeated by Young Son Gohan 
whose hidden potential now fully expressed triggered by the shock 
of his father's death. After a severe bout of beating Cell even 
regurgitated the absorbed Android 18.

This was what was awaken by the Wizard - The Ultimate Evil?! 
Not exactly a face that inspired fear, more likely, laughter. He IS

and eat them! Nevertheless he is an extremely dangerous 
opponent.

cute puppy, thus triggered a personality split in him - an innocent 
side and an evil side. The Evil side managed to eat the other

Super Boo - the true, pure, Ultimate Evil. In the comic, he has the
power to combine with people to increase his fighting ability.

There are 5 bosses, to access them, at the Ultimate Battle 22 
Screen, press U,T,D,X,B,L1,F,R1 ( you don't need to do
this very quickly)

You will hear a chime when you have done this right.

This will be followed by an animation sequence to introduce 
the 5 bosses and afterwards the screen will say
Utimate Battle 27 !

YOUNG SON Gokou
Son Gokou as he originally appeared. He hasn't actually 
mastered the skill of flying yet but he has a cloud which he 
sits on for travelling on air.

portrayed as the dirty old man in the series.

SATAN
This chap needs a bit of introduction. He is just an ordinary person 
with some abyssmal martial arts skills and he had witnessed the 
battle between the Son Gokou team and Cell
from afar. As I said before, Son Gokou and comrades remained 
quite annonymous. So after Cell was defeated everybody just left. 
When the media arrived at the scene, only Satan remained and he 
claimed to have defeated Cell himself and became a world hero.
That is why if you beat the game on the tournament level, you will 
then get to fight Satan.

As mentioned this guy has no super skills therefore he cannot fly 
nor move quickly sideways. He also does not have a chi energy 
bar. But be beware, he fights dirty but also very funny.

-ion Son Gokou and Vegeta had to combine to fight Super Boo
whose powers were ever growing since he had absorbed Gotenks,
Piccolo and Son Gohan. They used an ancient relic provided by
one of the ancient gods like Kaiohshin to combine together. The

destroyed.
