Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3/Voiced Tutorial

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

To do: 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!"
