Dragon ball Z budokai Tenkaichi 3/Sparking meteor Defensive gameplay part 2

Teleport escape



Teleport escape is pretty useful for when you see your opponent is going to blast you in your face lol. This is something you should keep in mind. It is performed by pressing O right before a blast connects with your character. This is something you should always try to use when your in a jam. If you mistime it, just hold down O and you will block the blast before it hits you. You will take a bit of damage but anything is better than eating the blast head on.

Z counter/Z counter return/Z counter 2



The above video is Z counter. This is performed by hitting O right before your opponents hits you with a vanishing attack(any direction and hold []) or normal smash attack(up or down +^)
This will teleport you right behind your opponent so you can effectively attack them. Z counter return is where your opponent can counter your counter by pressing the O button back. This may sound confusing but its easier than it sounds. One thing to remember about the Z counters is that you CANNOT mash them out. It does not work that way. Instead you may want to try practicing the timing in practice mode to get it down.


**Z counter 2



This Z counter is actually ALOT harder than it looks. While your opponent is attacking you using [] rush attack you have to press up +[]. The timing for this is VERY strict but if you perform it correctly you should be able to counter your opponents move using a smash attack that you can follow up. You may counter various attacks with this. Even if your back is turned to your opponent, You can still attack them if you learn how to perform this properly. Really useful and very important ability to learn.
