- To initiate a clash, press the 'Square' button at close range.
- During the clash, repeatedly press 'Square' to build your power gauge.
- If your power gauge reaches the max, you'll win the clash and can perform a combo on your opponent.
- If your opponent's power gauge reaches the max, they'll win the clash and perform a combo on you.
Tips:
- Try to time your 'Square' presses with the flashes of light that appear during the clash. This will increase the speed at which your power gauge fills.
- If your opponent is about to win the clash, you can still turn the tide by pressing the 'Triangle' button to use your super attack. This will instantly win you the clash and allow you to perform a combo on your opponent.
- Some characters have special abilities that can give them an edge in clashes. For example, Goku can use his 'Kamehameha' super attack to instantly win clashes, while Vegeta can use his 'Galick Gun' super attack to knock his opponents away from him.
- Practice makes perfect. The more you play Budokai Tenkaichi 3, the better you'll become at winning clashes.
