Story
Dragon Ball Kai: Saiyan Royale is a game that will focus on the story of Dragon Ball Z. It will go up to the end of the Frieza Saga. For those who don't know, Dragon Ball Kai is a revamped version of Dragon Ball Z--cutting out most of the fillers that dragged the series on to 276 episodes. There are 4 main sagas in Dragon Ball Z. The Saiyan Saga, Frieza Saga, Android Saga, and Majin Buu Saga. Since this game will use AVI files and a ton of pictures, the game will contain the Saiyan Saga and Frieza Saga to reduce the size and make it suitable for people to download. The Bardock special--which tells of the main protagonist's father and his encounter with Frieza, will be included as well, but as a starting point to get the player familiar with the game.

Goku is the series main Protagonist. 5 years before the events of the Saiyan Saga, Goku saved the world by beating the Demon King incarnate, King Piccolo during the 23rd World's Martial Arts Tournament.

Unfortunately for him, he lost the battle, but has since then decided to train in hopes to beating Goku one day.

And then, there's myself, for working on the battle system.
Screen Shots
Features
I've decided to go with a fighting/action rpg approach. There is no leveling up or adventure mode, but there will be mini games at certain areas as you progress through the game. I had pictures for the attacks to make it look more....artistic? But using them would cause a lot more coding on my end as I would have to code things for each attack causing me to have more events which could cause slow down, so I decided to use the built-in choices system to make it easier, plus it goes along well with my meteo combinations that you could do to increase the attack chosen! In summation.
1.The battle system is comprised of pictures and events, complex events rather.
2.Characters will be able to add damage to their Meteo Attacks right before they hit the opponent. To do this, one would have to find out the correct button combinations to the attacks. Each High Speed Rush has an added combo booster applied. The tutorial will go over only one, which is Bardock's first High Speed Rush. It's up to you to find the rest out yourself!
3.The game will have AVI videos included. So one would have to have the AVI codecs installed as well as FFShow. Don't worry, I'll include it with the game.
All these actions pushes the program to it's built in limits. Not many games have been made with rm2k3 in the fashion I'm doing.
Stay tuned for updates.

433 MHz Pentium 2 Processor
Windows 98,2000,XP(haven't been tested on Vista and Windows 7, use at your own risk!)
100 MB of free space
512 MB RAM
Make sure you have the Media Player codec pack installed since this game has AVI files that play. If you don't have these, the game will not be able to play any further until you do. Alas, I take NO responsibilty should anything happen to your PC, play at your own risk! There are no dangers that I'm aware of.

FAQ:
Q: How did you stumble upon the complex combinations for the battle system?
A: To be honest, it was done by mistake. I thought it was a bug in the system as I wanted the "complex combinations" to be separate attacks(which they still are but if you hurry with the follow up attack it will add to it.), but then I noticed I could use it to my adventage. I must say, to stumble upon such a system by accident is rare.
Q: I get an error "Can't read video file" or something similar.
A: The reason is because you don't have the AVI codecs installed. It also requires the FFDSHOW plugin. The RAR file that you downloaded should have the codec pack in it. Install them!
Q: How do I figure out the combo sequences for the attacks?
A: Look at the skill list for the character by pressing ENTER. Or, you can view the bottom of this README!!!.
Q: The game is a bit slow and the attacks take forever to launch.
A: Sorry, but that means your PC won't be able to handle it well. This is because the game plays as well as the PC it was worked on. If the PC in question is better then the PC the game was worked on, then it will play even better, and may even appear to be a bit faster.
Q: Is there a time limit for entering the combos?
A: Not if you're inserting the keys for the original attack chosen, however, if you go for the combo combination, then there will be a time limt--and it's only about 5 seconds. However, you can interupt that combo and go straight for the original attack, this will use no KI for the combo combination, but it won't add much damage either, but it will combine with the original attack. Now, if you let the combo attack finish and hurry up with the original attack keys, than you will use more KI but you will also inflict more damage. Use the time limit wisely.
