Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 PlayStation 2 Cheats

Unlock it all
Enter the Skill Shop while holding down the L2 button. Bulma will talk, but just leave, while holding the L2 button still. Re-enter the shop, repeat the trick over and over and your percent of your Capsules keeps increasing. This also unlocks characters for you, Breakthrough capsules, fusions, everything.

Free Capsule Increase
With a memory card inserted (to save progress), enter an item shop. Hold L1 + L2 and leave. Repeat the process for more stuff.
Note: They mess up on this cheat it not just L1 and L2. You have to hold R1,R2,L1,L2 when you leave the skill shop. You also have to set a skill or buy a skill for it to save. Thanks to James Arnold for this note.

Unlock Tiencha, Gocruel, and KibitoShin
Collect the dragonballs and earn the breakthroughs for Goku, Hercule/Sataan, Yamcha, Tien, and The Supreme Kai/Kaio Shin. After that, gather the dragonballs again and earn their fusion capsules.

Ultimate Defence
Go to Edit skills menu. Then Edit capsules. First, with just about any character, equip"Gero's perpetual energy". Then equip "dende's recovery" and "mixed Blood Power".
Note 1: This isn't much of a cheat but a good strategy.
Note 2: You won't be able to transform!

Taunts This isnt really a cheat but this is how you taunt first you have to get into a battle then hold punch, guard, kick and energy together at once then your character will do a taunt but, the cool thing is that it brings your opponent down one ki gauge if successfull.

Super Saiyan Level 3 (Goku only)
To get level 3 you need to go to the skill shop, and press L2 and keep going in and out of the shop, and watch your percentage of how far you are in having all of the capsules. Once you have reached about 75% go to edit capsules, and go to Goku. Press x then and x again. look in the ability skills to see if you have the following things:King Kai fistX20,super saiyan,super saiyan 2,then super saiyan3. (YOU NEED ALL OF THOSE TO BE ABLE TO USE S.S.3). If you don't have all of those things then keep trying the L2 trick.

Easy Wins To win easilly on tournaments or any fight, do the following: first buy the capsules, "viral heart disease" and the "vaccine" capsules. Then go to the character edits and put "viral heart disease" and the "vaccine" on the player you want to win with. Then you can wait till their health decreases and then just finish them with an ultimate move (this works with everyone, so if you want to win in the tournaments, you can do this and kill the opponent when he has little health).
