See the bottom screen? That’s reserved for touch screen special moves. Tap any attack name to unleash a super attack like a Kamehameha or Frieza’s death beam.

Strong attacks beat those

And throws counter strong attacks, but are bested by a swift weak attack.

You can block weak attacks by not pressing a button in Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butouden. The Nintendo DS game has an auto guard system.

This won’t work against strong attacks or throws. You have to defend against those by pressing the B button to use the dodge command.

    the battle system seems to need some brain

    this could be a decent

    I like the touch screen specials. Means no need to having to memorize semi-complex button commands :D

    Looking forward ,but still I would rather have a REAL DS sequel to Super Sonic Warriors!

  • Code

    rar, I just visually find this game really, really nice looking >ww<

    • Exkaiser

      They added a bit saying there would be input specials.

      My DS has no fighters at all, actually…

      • Code

        I got Dissidia but strangely enough it never mentally comes to mind when I’m thinking of fighters for the PSP opo; Portables aren’t really my platform of choice for fighters any ways too rough on the pad/buttons xpx;

        Also totally approve of input specials, totally pleased thus far~!

        • Exkaiser

          Yeah, I made a typo, I meant to say DS!

          When it comes to the PSP, I’ve got Dissidia, Guilty Gear XX #R, and Gundam vs Gundam Next Plus.

          And Virtual Fighter on the Sega Genesis Collection, I guess.

    Looks really charming and from the video from earlier this week, it looks pretty fun. Haven’t bought a DBZ game since Supersonic Warriors 2 but this is definitely on my watch list.
