Budokai 2 Skips: A Guide

Hello. I'm Deru-sama, the man who named the Buuhan Skip, and I'll be teaching you how to skip a lot of the game. They should all work on both PS2 and GameCube versions regardless of whether you use a console or emulator, so feel to have a go at it on either one. They can all be done on Any%, NG+, AND Hercule run - I personally count 4-1 and 4-2 as stages Hercule doesn't have to do, as 4-3's Cell fight is what ends Stage 4 altogether, and as such, Hercule doesn't have to be the one to defeat Android 16 for the skip.

==STAGE 4-2: Android 16 SKIP==

Android 16 skip is done in Stage 4-2, where you fight the Androids. It is so named because in order to pull it off, you simply beat Android #16 as quick as you can. Doing so skips a lot of fights with #17 and #18 that you'd otherwise have to deal with, saving you a bit of time. Android 16 is fairly easy to beat, only requiring two fights that can easily be done with Goku or another character if you prefer not to use Goku, but be careful as Android 17 will usually attack at least once.

==STAGE 6: SACRIFICE SKIP==

To do this skip, you have to have Vegeta and Fat Buu on the same space, which will trigger a special event that skips the entire Buu fight. This is a difficult one as you have to lure Vegeta onto the space by moving in a specific way with Goku, who he chases. I haven't exactly figured this one out, but if you beat Vegeta, you fail the skip - that's the majority of my problems with the skip, as doing it is no problem otherwise. However, to do it, you move Vegeta near Buu and then intentionally lose.

==STAGE 7: GOTENKS SUICIDE SKIP==

To pull off this skip, intentionally bring Gotenks towards Super Buu, then LET Buu defeat him. This will allow Buu absorb Gotenks, hence the name of the skip. Then let him reach the very bottom of the stage, which will activate the ending cutscene early. 

You can move a few spaces upwards with Gotenks and skip everyone else's movement turn to make sure this happens quickly, though the fight itself can be sluggish - this sluggishness won't break your run, but it definitely is annoying if you had a bad stage earlier and don't want to wait too long for the thrashing to finish.

==STAGE 8: BUUHAN SKIP==

The main goal of Buuhan Skip is to keep Gohan from losing a fight - if Gohan is defeated even once, he is absorbed by Buu and you fail the skip.

Now, in order to execute the skip, you have to defeat Buutenks without letting Gohan die. This is very difficult, as Buutenks has 2 steps while Gohan typically only has one without stealing the tempura bun from another character - and he goes after Gohan aggressively even if there are other, weaker allies he could attack like Krillin or Hercule.

Quickly take your characters as close to Gohan as possible, making sure that if he catches Gohan, you beat him quickly, but in a manner that keeps Gohan safe - I'd recommend combo juggling or keeping your guard up, either one will work. Keep your other characters on the offensive, as Buutenks cannot really do much if you keep him cornered in a way you can beat him up without using Gohan ineffectively. 

Once you beat Buutenks, it'll automatically display the dialogue as if you beat Buuhan himself, and congratulations, you're in the endgame at Stage 9. Good luck with Kid Buu, 'cause you're gonna need it!

comment bien jouer au jeu (français)

Bonjour, à toi, jeune lecteur :p, aujourd'hui, je vais t'apprendre a bien jouer au jeu
Tout d'abord il te faudra avoir ton personnage, celui que tu joueras le plus, prendras tu un personnage rapide, puissant ou équilibré ? Déjà il te faudra avoir tous les personnages, alors soit tu regardes le guide qui te montres comment le faire sur soit tu télécharges la sauvegarde 100% que tu pourras trouver dans l'onglet ressources du jeu sur le site internet. (Petit conseil, selon moi  goten est rapide, végéta tape fort et gohan ado est équilibré)
Bien sûr, il existe un cheat code pour pouvoir obtenir tous les personnages et techniques à 99%, le 100% est plus compliqué à obtenir.
Maintenant, il va falloir trouver les techniques pour votre personnage, c'est le moment le plus compliqué...
Pourquoi me direz vous, car c'est assez facile de mettre le super saiyen 1, 2, 3 et des kamehameha bien sûr 
Eh bien car si vous voulez bien jouer il va falloir vous passer de ces techniques, tout d'abord le super saiyen ne sert pratiquement a rien... car certaines techniques de soutien vous permettent d'avoir plus de bonus d'attaque qu'un super saiyen, alors à ce moment là vous vous direz que le super saiyen ne sert à rien, mais si il ne servait autant à rien il n'y aurait aucun interet à le mettre. Mais, il y en a un, si le personnage avec qui vous combattez se met en garde et que vous vous transformez en super saiyen près de lui, sa garde va être brisée  et c'est un très beau moyen de mettre un très beau combo, mais pas que, car en speedrun, quand un personnage se met en garde cela vous fait perdre du temps car vous êtes obligés de briser sa garde avec une attaque chargée et cela prend du temps et si vous connaissez ma technique vous n'en perdrez pas, vous aurez juste à sortir votre super saiyen. Sur les autres techniques, pour un combat assez difficile je vous conseille de prendre vaccin et maladie du coeur, cela fera que la vie de votre ennemi diminuera automatiquement. En terme d'attaque spéciale puissante il y a le  super genkidama qui est puissant. Pour finir, si vous ne le savez pas, plus vous mettez une attaque spéciale plusieurs fois plus elle sera puissante.
Enfin il faudra savoir bien jouer, pour ce faire, il va falloir varier les attaques par exemple faire  p p p p k
Savoir bien gérer sa garde, une touche qui n'est pas très utilisée 
Si vous voulez me combattre vous n'avez qu'a m'envoyer un message privé !
Merci d'avoir lu et bon apprentissage !

how to play the game well (english)

Hello, young reader aujourd'hui today I'm going to teach you how to play the game well
First of all you will need to have your character, the one you will play the most, will you take a fast, powerful or balanced character? Already you will need to have all the characters, so either you look at the guide that shows you how to do it on or you download the 100% backup that you can find in the game resources tab on the website. (Little advice, in my opinion goten is fast, vegeta is strong and gohan teen is balanced)
Of course, there is a cheat code to be able to get all the characters and techniques at 99%, the 100% is more complicated to obtain.
Now, we will have to find the techniques for your character, it's the most complicated moment ...
Why will you tell me, because it is quite easy to put the super saiyen 1, 2, 3 and kamehameha of course
Well because if you want to play well you will have to do without these techniques, first of all the super saiyen is practically useless ... because certain support techniques allow you to have more attack bonus than a super saiyen, then at that moment you will tell yourself that the super saiyen is useless, but if it was not used as much for nothing there would be no interest in putting it. But, there is one, if the character you are fighting with is on guard and you turn into a super saiyen near him, his guard will be broken and it is a very nice way to put a very nice combo , but not that, because in speedrun, when a character is on guard it makes you waste time because you are forced to break his guard with a charged attack and it takes time and if you know my technique you will not lose it no, you will just have to take out your super saiyen. On the other techniques, for a rather difficult fight I advise you to take vaccine and heart disease, that will make that the life of your enemy will decrease automatically. In terms of a powerful special attack, there is the super genkidama which is powerful. Finally, if you don't know, the more you put in a special attack several times the more powerful it will be.
Finally it will be necessary to know how to play well, to do this, it will be necessary to vary the attacks for example to make p p p p k
Know how to manage your guard well, a key that is not widely used
If you want to fight me you just have to send me a private message!
Thank you for reading and good learning!
thanks to google translation for translating the text
