Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22

The game uses a side-view fighting format with one-on-one battles against the CPU. Players move with directional inputs, jump, crouch, block, and attack using light and heavy normals, then chain into special moves and signature blasts through command inputs. Energy management matters because powerful techniques and transformations or supers often require meter or timing. Matches are round-based, and ring-out-like pressure is replaced by positioning, knockback, and arena destruction effects that influence spacing.

Goku

The main hero, equipped with balanced melee and powerful energy attacks.

Vegeta

A fast, aggressive Saiyan prince with strong projectile pressure.

Gohan

Goku's son, varying in strength and style depending on his form.

Piccolo

A tactical fighter with balanced attacks and long-range options.

Frieza

An infamous galactic tyrant with strong zoning and transformation-based power.

Learn each character's main projectile range and fastest starter before attempting long combos. Stay patient against rushdown opponents and use spacing to punish unsafe advances. Save meter for reliable finishers instead of spending it recklessly. When possible, force the fight toward the corner or arena edge to limit the opponent's movement.

Tips and tricks

• Pick two or three characters first and learn their basic commands thoroughly.
• Keep an eye on energy and avoid wasting supers when under pressure.
• Use knockback and stage positioning to control the pace of the match.
