This one's a bit more retarded than the other games. It's card-based, so there's a high degree of luck involved, and the computer-controlled opponent seems to have the advantage in terms of drawing powerful cards early and often.

It's a tournament-style setup, 12 successive matches against increasingly dangerous opponents. You begin at 40 HP, and then +5 HP for each new opponent. You also get a new card for each opponent you beat. Status cards can do anything from raising your attack power, to causing paralysis, to recovering HP.

The best part about it is the transformation gimmick. You use "rune" cards to gather energy (energy bars are displayed in the top right/bottom left) and when you fill the bar up you go super saiyan. It gives you constant +attack, +defense, +counter and makes you immune to poison.

After beating the game I got the cheat code "bushit". Enter it and you can have battles where you're constantly transformed, have all cards for any fight, and pick the fight you want.

I've played things very similar elsewhere. It's fun until you lose. Then you kinda realize there's very little strategy to it, excepting hollow silhouettes of tactics.

I remember this, I played it a few years back. Not bad the first time through, though iirc you basically break the game after that with passwords or something like that
