Voiced Tutorial

This article has a talk page!
view on tcrf.net

This is a sub-page of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3.

This page or section needs more audio.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough audio. Please fix this.
Specifically: Upload the rest of the audio and make tables for this.

Similarly to the PlayStation 2 version of Budokai 2, it seems that originally it was planned for the game's tutorial mode to be fully voiced. The voiced lines are 100% identical to the script used in the final game, so it's possible this was a last second removal.

Scouter Tutorial#

Script

Audio

Raditz: "So you've come, Kakarot... Looks like I'll have another easy win."

Raditz: "Well, take this scouter, Kakarot!!!"

Goku: "What's this?"

Raditz: "Must I explain everything?! It's a Scouter! A device used to measure your opponent's strength in battle!"

Raditz: "This gauge shows health!"

Raditz: "If you reduce your opponent's health level to zero, you win! Don't let down your guard until you're sure it's gone!"

Raditz: "This one shows your Ki energy level! Special attacks like Energy Waves and Finishing Moves use up your Ki Energy."

Raditz: "If you deplete your energy, it will gradually return to this level."

"On the other hand, your energy gets above this level, it naturally begins to decerase! So watch out!"

Raditz: "This gauge measures fatigue! You can raise your opponent's level of fatigue by performing an Ultimate Attack!"

Goku: "Hmmm..."

Raditz: "Just think of all we could do, Kakarot! Doesn't it get your Saiyan blood pumping?!"

Goku: "Yeah! Now I'll get Gohan back for sure!

Raditz: "What!?!"

Goku: "You heard me! Give me back my son!"

Raditz: "Rrrr... So you're a weakling and a fool! You're a disgrace to your entire race!"

Button and Movement Tutorial#

Script

Audio

Piccolo: "We don't have time to waste! The Saiyans are on their way!"

Gohan: "Okay!"

Piccolo: "The first thing you need is a change of clothes!"

Gohan: "Uhhh..."

Piccolo: "We'll be doing some intense training. But first you must master the basics!"

Piccolo: "You're no good to anyone if you can't move when it really counts!"

Gohan: "R... Right...!"

Piccolo: "So, let's start with movement. Press forward to Advance, press back to retreat. Try it!"

Piccolo: "Next is stepping. Press left or right twice to step forward or backward."

Piccolo: "Next is rushing. Press left or right twice, but hold it down the second time. Try it in both directions."

Piccolo: "You can dodge poorly executed attacks by shifting your body! Press the G button and up or down."

Piccolo: "But if you're evading all the time you'll never be able to defeat your enemy!"

Piccolo: "Good! It looks like you've got your movement under control! Let's move on."

Gohan: "Okay!"

Piccolo: "Now for the basic attacks."

Piccolo: "Punch with the P button and kick with the K button. Give it a try."

Piccolo: "Push your attack buttons continuously to put together combination attacks. Have at it!"

Piccolo: "Good. You can change your technique by pressing left or right when you attack."

Piccolo: "Be sure that your opponent doesn't read your attack when you use combination moves."

Piccolo: "You can also attack while rushing. A rush attack is an effective technique. Charge!!!"

Piccolo: "Next is guarding. Gurard with the G button. Even when you block, you still take some damage, so be careful!"

Piccolo: "Well done. Don't ever forget these basics, no matter what kind of situation you find yourself in!"

Piccolo: "Huh?"

Gohan: "Bu... But, it's the middle of the day! Why did it get dark all of a sudden?"

Piccolo: "Shenron... So, Goku has returned..."

Ki Tutorial#

Script

Audio

Krillin: "Alright, Gohan. Let's try some image training. Close your eyes, and visualize Planet Namek."

Gohan: "Right I can see it."

Krillin: "Now, if you're not careful, the Saiyans will spot you on their scouters. You need to control your Ki energy."

Krillin: "You got that, Gohan?"

Gohan: "Yes."

Krillin: "Good. Then try gathering your energy. Hold down the G button and press back twice."

Gohan: "Next, let's try firing a blast. Press the E button, and you can throw an Energy Wave."

Krillin: "Easy right? This time, hold down the E button to build up your energy, then let go to fire a series of Energy Waves."

Krillin: "How 'bout that! Like father, like son! Let's try some more."

Krillin: "If you time your blocks right, you can deflect can Energy Wave or knock it back at your opponent. Try it both ways."

Krillin: "Wow! I'm impressed! Maybe I should've done some training with Piccolo, too. That's all I've got for you. Nice work."

Gohan: "Thanks, Krillin."

Death Move Tutorial#

Script

Audio

Vegeta: "Hey, son of Kakarot."

Gohan: "Y... Yes..."

Vegeta: "We need your help in the battle against Frieza. You're still young, but you may be of use."

Gohan: "Oh..."

Vegeta: "Let's see if you're worth your salt. You need to be ready to launch a Finishing Move at any time. Follow these commands."

Vegeta: "Hmm. Not bad. But, if you do it with a combination move, it will be even better. Try it with these commands."

Vegeta: "Now we'll practice a Ki Burst. Counter my Finishing Move with one of your own."

Vegeta: "When the Ki Burst starts, push all of your buttons as fast as you can. And be warned -- I won't hold back."

Vegeta: "I suppose that will do. When the time comes, fight boldy like a Saiyan. Until then, I need to catch up on some sleep."

Gohan: "Yes... G, Goodnight... Thank you very much."

Transformation Tutorial#

Script

Audio

Goku: "Hahaha, I give a pretty mean haircut, if I do say so myself!"

Gohan: "Thanks, dad!"

Goku: "Alright! Now that you've become a Super Saiyan, I'll teach you more about Ki energy!"

Gohan: "Great! Thanks!"

Goku: "Here's the deal: Finishing moves and energy waves use a type of energy called 'Ki'!"

Goku: "If your Ki gauge is full, your attack will be strong. If it's low, your attack will be weak."

Goku: "So it's important to keep your Ki energy as high as you can during a fight!"

Gohan: "Got it."

Goku: "Now, I'll have you change into a Super Saiyan. When your Ki is high, transform by pressing P, K, and G all at once."

Goku: "Hey, nice work, Gohan!"

Goku: "Great, that's enough for today. How about being a good boy and massaging your dad's shoulders?"

Gohan: "Alright, dad."

Dodge and Roll Tutorial#

Script

Audio

Videl: "Oh, Gohan."

Gohan: "V... Videl... What are you doing?..."

Videl: "Well, I thought I'd come and practice my Flying Technique with you. Do you mind being my sparring partner?"

Videl: "Well, there's no one at home to practice with... Dad's pretty lazy when it comes to training..."

Videl: "Well, here goes, Gohan."

Gohan: "Wha... Hey...!?"

Videl: "How... How did you roll like that?"

Gohan: "When you're going down, hit the G button. Do you want to give it a try?"

Gohan: "Yes, that's it."

Videl: "Alright, I'm going to go all-out now!"

Videl: "What? I can't hit you? I've never seen anyone do that except Dad!"

Gohan: "You can do it, too, Videl. Watch your opponent's attack carefully, and hit the G button at just the right time.

Videl: "Yeah! I did it!!!"

Gohan: "Just be careful, because your Ki Level will go down each time you do it."

Videl: "But, Gohan! You were going easy on me, weren't you?!"

Gohan: "Uh? Huh? Well... No!"

Videl: "I see... You're hiding your full strength until the World Tournament. Okay, I can wait until the Championship."

Gohan: "Uh, Alright."

Videl: "You're supposed to practice with Goten now, right? I'll leave you boys to it, then..."

Gohan: "Alright. And hey! You did great!"

Videl: "I'll see you at the World Tournament. Bye!"
