Missing or "Lost" Skills

view on tcrf.net

This is a sub-page of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.

There are also a handful of super, ultimate and evasive skills which were equipped by cast characters in the first game which did not make a return on the second one, some even missing out on the Partner Customization update. In other cases, certain characters may have certain skills equipped during story mode missions or parallel quests but which are also not available on their playable presets. Despite not being normally accessible, the animations for these respective skills (and in some cases the voice files) are still present in the sequel.

  • x10 Kamehameha: Equipped by SSG Goku during the Parallel Quest #67, "Power of a Super Saiyan God". While the quest and this equipped skill both make a return in the second game (was PQ #42 in XV2), he still lacks this skill on both his sole preset and his custom partner skillset.

Note: As Fourth Form Cooler and Metal Cooler also share many of their animations, Metal Cooler can also use the super skill Sledgehammer just like Fourth Form Cooler can use Feint Crash, though they do not use the other's respective super skills anywhere in the game.

Bardock#

  • Phantom Fist: Equipped as his third super skill on his Masked Saiyan preset in Xenoverse 2. While it is absent from all of his presets and custom partner skillset in the sequel, his standard variation also contains fully functional animations for the skill.

Android 17#

  • Afterimage: Often overlooked because of the Dead End Bullet situation. Equipped as his fourth super skill on his first preset in the first game; absent from all of his presets in the sequel. DBS 17 has it, though.
  • Dead End Bullet: One of the weirdest cases of a missing skill in the entire game. While not present in the first game, it was added in the sequel and is present on Android 17's skillset on a ton of story missions and Parallel Quests. Strangely, however, not a single one of Android 17's three playable presets in Xenoverse 2 actually includes this skill, even though the first one only has a single ultimate equipped. His DBS variation later gained access to this skill through the Custom Partner update, but this issue is still present on the Z one.

Android 18#

  • Hyper Drain: Equipped as her fourth super skill on her third preset in the first game; absent from all of her presets and custom partner skillset in the sequel.
  • Dead End Rain*: Similar situation to Dead End Bullet, but made even weirder by the fact this is Android 18's DUAL ultimate attack. It was eventually added to her custom partner skillset on a *much* later update, though her first preset still lacks it despite only having one ultimate skill.
  • Break Strike: Opposite situation from Raditz. Equipped as her evasive super skill on her second preset in the first game; absent from all of her presets and custom partner skillset in the sequel.

Cell (Perfect)#

  • Drain Charge: Equipped as his fourth super skill on his first preset in the first game; replaced by Full Power Charge and absent from all of his presets and custom partner skillset in the sequel.
  • Psychic Move: Equipped as his evasive skill on his second preset in the first game; replaced by Energy Barrier and absent from all of his presets and custom partner skillset in the sequel.

Note: On a similar situation to Frieza's, Cell's Full Power variation does not use Special Beam Cannon or Supernova anywhere in either game, but he too contains fully functional animations and voice files for both of these skills.

Cell (Full Power)#

  • Gravity Impact: One of Cell's signature moves. Equipped as part of his skillset during the Parallel Quest #37, "Clash! Perfect Cell" (#23 in XV1), but absent from his sole preset in the sequel.
  • Hyper Drain: Equipped as his fourth super skill on his first preset in the first game; absent from all of his presets and custom partner skillset in the sequel.

Gogeta (Super Saiyan 4)#

  • Big Bang Kamehameha*: While Gogeta does contain Big Bang Kamehameha as part of his skillset, the version currently equipped is different from the one he originally contained. As part of the DLC 8 update, a clone of the skill, which does not require the user to go Super Saiyan under an awoken still to teleport to the position of the target, was added as part of SSGSS Gogeta's move set and was given to SS4 Gogeta some time later, removing the original skill from his move set, though it is still present in his skillset on every single mission and quest featuring the character released up until that point.
