Kyle Lees Notice: This is for the North American Version. I have never played the Japanese version, so use Wuken's FAQ. In other words, SAbesamis. Updates 9/1/98 Final update. I don't know if the Gotenks code is real, there have been no confirmed reports of the code working, and I tried myself. Still, some Code Pages claim that it works. Personally, I don't want to play as that asshole Trunks for so long (oh, I'm gonna get it). If I ever update again, it will be because I find out that Gotenks or Ubuu or someone is in the game, or the code is real. 7/20/98 Wrote up Gotenks' character profile. More to come in about a week or two, help would be greatly appreciated. 7/19/98 Put in the secret codes to play as all of the secret characters found so far, that's nine of them. SSJ Adult Gokou in the Z or GT gi, SSJ Trunks, SSJ Mirai Trunks, SSJ Chibi Gokou, Super Gokou 4, Super Oozaru Bebi Vegeta, SSJ Gotenks and SSJ Vegitto. Put in the Gameshark Codes, thanks Code Creators! Fixed the "T"s in there, replaced them with an "F". Things To Take Care Of Get Gotenks' and Bebi Vegeta's moves, find any more hidden characters. Right now, though, my Playstation is broken. I'm bringing it in for repairs today, so just hang on. Index Legend A Triangle # Square X X, dumbass!

I usually just work on fanfics (Dragon Ball, naturally!) so this is somewhat new to me. Oh well, it's time to get to work! Dragon Ball GT is the first polygonal DB game out to date, and also the last to be made. That's right, unless somebody wants to hack a Final Fight or Ninja Turtles ROM, this is the last Dragon Ball video game. I kind of expected more from the game character-wise. I mean, with the codes there are just a whole bunch of Gokou and Trunks, and one alternate, Vegitto. Plus, there isn't a single human in the game! Pan's the closest thing they've got, and she isn't much in the power department. Seriously, Klilyn could probably kick her ass, I have faith in the old man! I don't understand why they put Freeza, Buu and Cell in the game. They should have put in Goten, Ubuu and some of the Evil Dragons in the game, all of which are actual GT characters! Despite those faults, Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout is one of the best games for the Playstation in its history. You have to learn the techniques and get a feel for the game so that it doesn't get crappy fast. Utilize the Build Up mode if you have a friends who's also got a 'Station, and lend them the game so they can build someone up, then duke it out. Don't play cheezy and just use the ki blasts, learn character attacks. I'll update the FAQ whenever I can or think I should, and I'll take whatever suggestions I can. That's all for now, seeya! 2.)Story ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- One day, while sparring with Ubuu atop the Tenkai (Dende's floating palace), Son Gokou had a little run in with his old nemeis, Pilaf. Pilaf had grown quite old, and wished to be young and rule the world once and for all. He had come to the Tenkai because it held the Black Star Dragon Balls, which he was going to use. However, he screwed up and accidentilly wished Gokou to become a ten year old child once again. Going to Satan City to find help, the boy ran into Pan, his granddaughter. The two ventured to the Son house on Mount Paozu, where it was decided to wish Gokou back to adulthood. Gokou was telepathically contacted by Kaiou-sama that Black Star Dragon Balls were special: they spread out around the universe, and if they were not brought back to Earth within the year, then the planet would explode. Gokou, accmpanied by Capsule Corp. President Trunks Briefs and the scholar, Son Gohan, were to use a Capsule spacecraft to find these Dragon Balls, if not for one problem. Trunks and Gokou had boarded, and Pan stowed away on the ship. Seconds before Gohan entered the ship, a malfunction blasted it off into space. Thus began the trio's quest, which soon became of four when they linked up with the small andriod Gill, who ate their Dragon Radar and had it pop up from his back (he actually was built with it). They met the evil Dr. Myuu, who was bringing a super-strong Tsufurujin back to life. The Tsufurujin, Bebi, killed Myuu and after being defeated by Gokou, made it to Earth. Bebi is one of those aliens who can take someone's body, though Trunks fought it off. He invades first Goten, then Gohan and Vegeta, and eventually everyone on Earth but Ubuu, Mister Buu and Mister Satan. Everyone else on Earth had been implanted with an egg in theirbrain, while Bebi chose Vegeta for himself. Trunks was "infected" when they returned to Earth with the Dragon Balls to find that almost everyone was gone. Satan explained to Gokou and Pan what had happened, while Buu and Ubuu fused to form Ubuu-Buu but was defeated by Bebi Vegeta. BV uses the Black Star Balls given to him by the infected Mr. Popo and Dende to wish back his home planet of Plant, which is in orbit around Earth like a giant moon. (Note: Planet Plant is also, you may or may not no this, Planet Vegeta!) Now, it's up to Gokou and Pan to defeat the evil Bebi Vegeta and his followers with the newfound power of Super Gokou 4, the ultimate power! 3.)Controls / Moves that everyone can do ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3A Basics O Kick # Punch A Ki blast X Defend Up Jump Down Duck L1/R1 Hold and press up to lift off, or an way to dash Start Pause 3B Cool Stuff Hold X# To charge Ki R1+L1 and Down Sidestep dash towards screen R1+L1 and X Sidestep dash away from the screen Down, forward A Renzoku Energy Dan (three ki blasts) L1/R1 + Left Dash Left L1/R1 + Right Dash Right Forward Get up (when on the ground) Back Flip back up (when on the ground) Any button Roll while getting up 3C Knockout tricks D, B, F, A Ki blast #1 (weaker, uses less Ki) D, B, F, A Ki blast #2 (stronger, uses more Ki) A + # + O Counterattack (Tap A quickly to continue counterattack) A + X Ki shield # + O Knock blast away 3D Meteo Smashes R2 Initiate Meteo Smash A + # Continue with a Punch Meteo A + O Continue with a Kick Meteo A + X Continue with a Blast Meteo (Note: If you go for more than two Meteos and your opponent is near defeat, using this attack will get your character to say something special, making it a kind of Finishing Move. eg: Pan say's, and I quote: "I dislike you!" That's probably the stupidest one there, but it's the only one I can remember.) 4.) Characters ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4A Son Gokou Gokou has the same fighting strength of Vegeta and Gohan. He can gain an advantage at close quarters or long range. He has longer legs than anyone else, so use that to your advantage. He is now in his late fifties and is teaching the young man named Ubuu. As always, the Saiya-Jin has his trademark hair, but has (OH MY GOD!) changed his clothes. His power is great as always, being the strongest fighter in the universe. What else can you say about this naive, always-hungry man? It's simple, he just rocks! 4B Pan Pan is the only female fighter in the game. Her power and durability are less than the others, but her tricks are more of the hit and run persuasion. Attack quick and get the hell away before they smash it to the floor. Daughter of the great Son Gohan, she was supposed to be entitled to unimaginable power... so what the hell is this? Is it just me, or can female Saiya-Jins not go SSJ, 'cause she sure as hell can't (and Bra's just too damn hot to fight) go past her regular skill level, which is fairly low. Still, she definitly has some fashion sense. Except for the bndana, those are some damn good clothes. T-shirt and short are my clothes of choice, and I live in Canada! So, for that and her cool moves, I commend Pan! 4C Son Gohan In all the universe's history, there has never been one man with so much raw power. Son Gohan is the ultimate in raw ki energy, and it shows with his techniques. He has maintained the Kame-style gi instad of entering battle with his dark blue suit and thick, square shaped glasses. Gohan generally has superior attacking power and speed. He performs better at close quarters than long range. Like all Saiya-Jin, he has aged very well. He still has some of Piccolo's lessons and has some of his own unique attacks, and remains who he always was; the only guy in Gokou's house who's got a brain in his head. I think he gets it from Chichi... 4D Piccolo The Nemeksejin warrior returns to fight once again, with all of his old attacks from the games. They just can't think of new moves for him. Piccolo has amazing speed and a huge variety of kicking tricks. However, he does not have much stamina (what the hell? Fast speed and low stamina?!) Thus, he is better suited to fight at medium and long range. Using the long range attacks of his would be smarter, especially his Knockout Tricks, the strongest in the game. 4E Chibi Son Gokou Being turned into a kid is just such a bitch, ain't it? I remember this one time, me, a Rabi and a Priest... oh, never mind. Oh well, he's just like he is in the original Dragon Ball series, with strength close to his older counterpart. Chibi Gokou has a variety of tricks that are easy to use. He has no noticeable weakness and is favored for close or longe range fighting. However, close range is preferred, and easier as well due to his short arms and legs. 4F Trunks He is the son of the Saiya-Jin Prince, Vegeta and the Capsule Corporation Scientific Genius, Bulma, so the man's got that on his side. On the other hand, his hair's freakin' purple! Purple, you hear me? Give people hair that's not black in Dragon Ball, and it's gotta be purple. What was Toriyama-san on when he thought up Trunks' hair? Seriously though, I have just begun to be able to stand Trunks now, and he's a good fighter. That's because he's the easiest character handle! He has a good balance of power, speed and stamina with a variety of kicking tricks. This is the guy best for beginners, or for any Trunks fan or girl who is into the DBZ series (they all seem to have a creepy attraction to him). 4G Super Saiya-Jin Vegeta As always, Vegeta wants to be better than Gokou. And this time, he actually is better than him! Vegeta is pretty much the best to use if you want to master technique. Of course, if you use a SSJ Gokou, then he'll kick Vegeta's ass! Still, Vegeta has some very interesting moves, old and new alike. I'm dissapointed that he doesn't have the Galick-Ho in this one, I always liked that move. They should have given Vegeta his GT outfit, but instead they stuck him with his Buu saga outfit, which was just lazy. Yeah, but what the hell can I do about it? He has good speed and power that compares with Chibi Gokou. He performs especially well in close quarters fighting. Use Vegeta defensively though, not offensively. 4H Perfect Cell Dr. Gero's ultimate artificial human, Cell absorbed Juuhachi-gou and her brother, Juuhana-gou to reach his Kenzatai, or perfect form. When Gokou destroyed his body, Cell rebuilt himself in Perfect form. Though Son Gohan killed him, Cell returns to fight in this game. Cell has the most advanced attacking and staying powers of the initial ten characters. When exchanging blows he will be sligthly stronger than Vegeta. But seeing as how Cell's movements are so slow , it's difficult to get anyone in a corner for combos. The best tactic with Cell is to use his Shock Wave from close and above your opponent for a surprise, but be careful they don't attack while charging up. 4I Original Buu This is the final form of Majin Buu we get to see. The first form of Majin Buu without anybody absorbed, he possesses merely animal intelligence being unable to speak outside of growls, but is still extremely dangerous. Original Buu is slightly weaker than default-unfused Super Buu, which allowed Son Gokou, Vegeta, and Fat Buu to stand a chance against him. He also has returned from the Dragon Ball past, in place of Ubuu who is his reincarnated self in fact! Oh well, you just have to here Buu "talk" and then you won't give a damn about Ubuu. OB's voice is just hilarious! Use Buu's irregular movements and his small size to avoid attacks. This guy is probably the worst character to fight against because his attacks are so fast and so damn crazy! 4J Freeza The third of the ressurected villians, Freeza appears in his Fourth and original form. This form is the most powerful of his, which killed Klilyn. Freeza was killed when Mirai Trunks when the man arrived, but is back at large. Freeza uses his tail along with his feet to attack, so keep your eye on that little trick. With quick attacks and his tail, Freeza is thoroughly guarded from physical attacks. Howevewr, as his stamina is rather low, his strength is in long range fighting. 4K Mirai Trunks This Trunks I rather like. He is actually a few years younger than the other Trunks, but looks much older because of the life he led. In MT's timeline, Gokou suffered a fatal heart disease's attack while fighting Juuhachigou and Juuhanagou, and the two took over the world. All of the Z Senshi died except for Son Gohan, who trained him. Trunks went back in time using his mother's time machine and gave Gokou heart medicine, and was killed by Cell during the Cell Game. He was wished back to life with Dende's new Dragon Balls, and returned to the future. As always, Mirai Trunks only wears a black muscle shirt (where did he get that? I'm looking for a black muscle shirt, dammit!) and grey pants, he's missing his famous sword and his jacket, just as Trunks also is missing his jacket. I smell a conspiracy... 4L Super Gokou 4 This is Gokou at his fullest. He is the only Saiya-Jin who can reach that power level, though Vegeta did with the help of Bulma's Brute Ray. Son Gokou has been proved to be the Legendary Saiya-Jin when he reached this, after reaching Super Oozaru like Bebi Vegeta does. Gokou used Earth like a full moon after Dai-Kaoioushin and Kaiou-bit pulled his tail out of Gokou with giant pliers. Super Gokou 4 (NOT Super Saiya-Jin 4 Gokou as the game says) is a big, red-furred powerhouse who is also extremely fast. He uses the advanced Juubeh (1ox) Kamehameha, and is the best playable character in thew game for Gokou-users. 4M Bebi Vegeta Bebi took over Vegeta's body, now how ironic is that? Saiya-Jin warriors destroyed the Tsufurujin's civilization and took over their planet, so now, a mutated Tsufurujin is using a Saiya-Jin as his body! Okay, so maybe it's not so ironic. Bebi Vegeta is a Super Oozaru, a golden monkey, and is the final boss in this game. He is also available through a rather confusing Gameshark code, though I forget where that is. It's on the Gameshark Code Creators' Homepage, so if you can figure it out, e-mail me. 4N Super Saiya-Jin Vegitto This is the Vegitto that we all know and love, only better. His attacks are some of the greatest yet, and his voice is Son Gokou's and Vegeta's dually, a very cool idea. His teleportation looks very interesting, just like the real type. All the moves that this Fusion character has are original, and just great. What else can I say about him. He, Super Gokou 4 and Gohan are probably the best characters in the game. 4O Gotenks This fusion of Trunks and Goten is the cockiest person in the game, and one of the shorter ones, in between Trunks and Pan. His Renzoku Energy Dan or rather Renzoku Energy Shine, is the strongest this side of Bebi Vegeta. Being a Super Saiya-Jin, he is of course strong as hell. However, Gotenks is the most difficult to get of all the secret characters so far, but just the novelty of getting him is worth it. Make a Build Up file of him and Bebi when you get the chance; I myself have almost an entire Memory Card devoted to Build Up mode, now that's creepy. 5.)
