Budokai 3: Modes & Basics
Choose a mode, build a capsule loadout and learn the flow of battle.
Dragon Universe
Explore the world map and follow a character’s story. Eleven fighters have routes: Goku, Kid Gohan, Teen Gohan, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Uub and Broly.
Dueling
Use this mode for a quick fight against the computer or another local player.
World Tournament
Enter a bracket of matches. Watch your position near the edge of the ring.
Dragon Arena
An unlockable battle mode focused on fighting opponents and developing characters.
Edit Skills
Each custom loadout has seven capsule slots. Mix attacks, transformations and support skills; some capsules occupy more than one slot.
Ki & defence
Balance attacking, guarding and charging Ki. Spending all your Ki leaves fewer defensive options.
Hyper Mode
Enables Dragon Rush and ultimate attacks, but drains Ki and prevents normal guarding. Commit when you have an opening.
Fusions
Gotenks, Vegito, Gogeta and Kibito Kai are reached through fusion skills. They are shown separately in this wiki, rather than counted as ordinary starting slots.
