Krillin (Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors)

The game pits two characters of the Dragon Ball Z franchise against each other in large environments, where they mostly fight in the air. The player can use strong and stronger variations of close combat attacks, and charge their ki to fire Ki Blasts. Each character also has three unique "Certain Kill" (必殺) abilities that deal heavy damage to the opponent. The Certain Kill ability varies depending on where the player is located (above, below or horizontal to the opponent), and they either cost 50% or 100% ki; each character has a 100% ki version of one of their Certain Kill attacks that zooms in on a still of their portrait when executed.

Each character has three "levels", which makes them stronger and occasionally changes their sprites and abilities. This is used in story mode to simulate the characters being stronger or weaker than their opponents.

Some characters have special abilities which can be activated by charging ki to 100% and then press both L and R button at the same time. These special abilities represent power ups (like LV1 Goku's Kaio-ken). Super Saiyan 2 Gohan is able to power up as well. If he is the last remaining fighter on the team, he gains a flashing blue sprite and more speed.

The player can also fight as a team, during which two or three characters are stacked up with their own health bars and can be changed between by pressing the L button.
