Dragon Ball Z: Super Bakuha

Dragon Ball Z: Super Bakuha (Doragonboru Zetto: Supa Bakuha!) is a fighting video game developed by VICIOUS Studios and published by Atari for the Sega Dreamcast. It was the first Dragon Ball Z fighting game since Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout on the PlayStation. It was followed by 3 sequels.

Battle
The objective of each game's battle is to deplete the opponent's health bar. Unlike most fighting games, Super Bakuha has 2 health bars, one green and the other yellow. There is also a Ki gauge, divided into 5 sections. By filling up different sections of the Ki gauge, players can use super attacks or transform. Battles take place in a 2D/3D enviroment, where players can move around via teleportation.

Combo Creator
In the game, Custom Combos are combos that are not part of a character's basic moveset. Custom Combos can be earned in Story Mode or the World Tournament mode. Players can also use Z Points earned in the World Tournament mode to pay Mr. Popo to gain the chance to use the Combo Creator. Players input a group of commands that correspond to the attack they wish to create, and Mr. Popo gives them the Custom Combo that fits those commands.

Each character can be equipped with Custom Combos, but at the cost of combos in their standard moveset.

Story Mode
Super Bakuha's story mode plays similarly to the actual show, with 3 episodes available at the start and 9 more unlockable. Each episode features at least 2 battles and several cutscenes explaining the story. The storymode stretches from the Piccolo Jr. Saga to the Cell Games. Bonus, Majin Buu Saga characters can be unlocked by completing the Story Mode on Invincible Difficulty.

World Tournament
In the world tournament mode, up to 8 players can enter a World Martial Arts tournament. Players can also earn Z Points from this mode. The rewards vary depending on what difficulty the tournament was set on. Players can also earn Custom Combos.
