Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension FAQ v8.0
            by: KiLrOy (kilroy@interport.net)

WARNING!: the ensuing FAQ is written in terms of 
now standard "Street Fighter" motions for ease of use
since most people are familiar with them. if you do not 
know these motions, look at the FAQ motions translations 
for a quick reference guide. this is not meant to infringe 
on Capcom or any of their copyrighted trademark stuff. ^_^
i've been writing DBZ FAQs since the first fighting game, always
in this manner, and it's always gone over quite well, since the 
motions tend to be visualized easier with something to compare 
them to, in this case, SF2 motions.

KEY

    Y= punch      A= fireball            L= dash
    B= kick       X= fireball counter    R= dash

FAQ MOTIONS TRANSLATIONS
	
    dragon punch= towards, down, diagonal down/towards
    yoga flame= away, diag. down/away, down, diag. down/towards, towards
    sonic boom= away, hold for 2 seconds, towards
    flash kick= down, hold for 2 seconds, up
    hadouken= down, diag. down/towards, towards
    hurricane kick= down, diag. down/away, away
#NOTE# if a motion is reversed (ex. reverse dragon punch) then the
only things reversed are the away and towards (meaning in the motions
away becomes towards, and towards becomes away) 

##########################################################

COMMON MOVES

    throw- X, must be close
    charge up energy/life- Y+B
    short hop towards- towards, towards quickly
    short hop away- away, away quickly

QUICK COMBOS

    Following any connecting NORMAL hit, either a normal 
punch or a normal kick, quickly press Y+B. If this next 
strike hits, it will knock your opponent into the air for 
whatever juggling combo you wish to use on them, but 
limited to only 5 hits. :( oh vell.

CHANGE OF FIELD (Futtobashi)

    Depending on what stages you fight on, you can knock 
your opponent onto another stage, moving the battle there.
    1. Knock them sideways- towards, away, towards, X
    2. Knock them upwards- hadouken, X
    3. Knock them downwards- hurricane kick, X

3D MOVES

    Uses a combination of Y or B, and L or R depending. Y 
or B depending on the character, and L or R depending 
which direction you are facing. If you are facing right, 
use the R button. Facing left, the L button.

RUSH BATTLE

    When you and your opponent are standing at a certain 
distance, say enough for the tips of either your fists or 
feet to collide, you'll go into the rush battle. There are 
two kinds.
    On the ground, tap Y, B, X or A rapidly and whoever taps it 
most by the end of the exchange wins and gets in an 
automatic super fireball.
    In the air, one player will head into the background, 
the other, the foreground. Here, only the four main 
buttons are used. The character in the foreground is 
attacking. They use A and B. B fires a super fireball, A 
fires a flurry of smaller fireballs. The character in the 
background is on the defensive. The trick is to anticipate 
what your opponent is going to through, and properly 
defend against it. Y defends against a super fireball with 
a dodge, X defends the flurry by smacking them away 
quickly. If you pick the wrong defense, you'll get hit and 
take damage. This exchange may repeat for a bit, with 
characters flipping from offensive to defensive.

NOTE ABOUT SUPER FIREBALLS

    For the 'hurricane kick, towards, A' fireballs, the 
longer you hold A, the more powerful it'll become. If the 
fireball is basic, no A charging, X can smack it away.

NOTE ABOUT METEOS
 
   Can only be done when life bar is flashing red, except 
in the Practice Mode, when it can be done at anytime. The 
distance is anywhere unless otherwise stated.

NOTE ABOUT BLOCKING
   
   When you block and attack, you can initiate a quick
reversal counterattack right after. To do this, simply block an
attack and, while your character is still blocking, perform the 
motions for the attack you wish to counter with.

NOTE ABOUT AIR FIGHTING

   Common moves for all.
	Attack straight up- up+Y
	Attack straight down- down+b
   Also, fireballs, normal 'a' fireballs, can now be thrown in 3 
directions. Simply 'a' will throw it straight, but by using the 
directional keypad u can fire them either diagonal up/towards or
diagonal down/towards.

GAME MODE

   Quick, and pretty basic, to get the best ending, don't 
continue. Not sure if following the natural story affects 
the ending, if anyone knows, feel free.

this, you can be anywhere, and perform the move, but for it to work,
and for you to not get dizzy, your opponent has to TOUCH the barrier.
