** In later games, most Energy-based Blast 2s were multi-hit attacks, and Rush Blast 2s has each individual hit counted and calculated to generate the total damage. Here, every Blast 2 counts as a singular hit, regardless of how long the attack lasts or how many strikes the fighter gets in during the animation, with only a vague damage indicator appearing at the end if it lands.

* DubNameChange: Dragon Ball in general goes through this a lot but some attack names are treated differently from each other where some characters who share the same attack may say the Japanese name instead. A few attacks get a literal translation rather than use their localized names while others go untranslated.
** Tien's Tri-Beam attack is written as "Ki Blast Cannon" despite announcing the attack as Tri-Beam. On the other hand, Neo Tri-Beam keeps its name.
** Chiaotzu's Ultimate is called "Farewell, Mr. Tien", despite Chiaotzu in the English dub never calling Tien by "Mister". This is because Chiaotzu calls Tien "Ten-san" in Japanese, the -san honorific being a respectful honorific similar to saying Mr., Miss. or Mrs.
** Solar Flare is pronounced differently between characters. Early! Goku, Tien and Krillin pronounce it as "Solar Flare" while base form GT Goku says "Taiyōken" instead.
** An obscure and slightly downplayed example with Dragon Fist. SSJ3 Goku yells out "Dragon Fist" when using it, despite the dub using the name "Dragon Fire" in its debut in Movie 13. However, the GT anime calls the attack Dragon Fist and the change in name for SSJ3 Goku is likely to keep consistency.

Because of this, ''3'' has 161 playable characters with them being some variants or being composed of a familiar character based on a specific period in the source material.
** In ''3'', Goku has five different playable versions of himself (not counting transformations), separated into Early, Middle, End from the ''Z''-era as distinct characters, Kid Goku from the original ''Dragon Ball'', and the GT-version of Goku.
** Gohan likewise is split between Kid, Pre-Teen, and his Teenaged selves, along with his Ultimate transformation being a separate character. ''[=BT3=]'' would make his counterpart from Trunks' BadFuture a distinct playable character as well, complete with his own moveset.
** The first game in the series would combine Cell and Buu Saga Vegeta into one character slot, Vegeta would end up having five playable variants in ''2'' and ''3'': there's Scouter (his self from the Saiyan-Namek Sagas), Androids Saga Vegeta, Buu Saga Vegeta, [[DealWithTheDevil Majin Vegeta]], and finally Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta from ''GT''. There's also Vegeta from GT when he was possessed by the parasitic Tuffle, Baby Vegeta.
** Future Trunks is separated into two characters based on two periods in the Androids Saga; one where he fights with his Sword at the start of the arc, and the another is based on when he came out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and fights without his sword against Cell. ''Sparking! ZERO'' would also add his ''Super'' incarnation as he appeared during the Goku Black/Future Trunks Saga.
** Piccolo in ''[=BT3=]'' is represented by his Early and End forms, with the former encompassing his appearances in the Saiyan-Namek Saga and the latter during the Androids Saga after fusing with Kami.
** Both Frieza and Cooler in ''[=BT3=]'' are split into separate characters as both their normal selves and their cyborg forms after their near death experiences.

Standout features include Devil Man's Devilmite Beam (which deals damage based on how evil a character is) having different damage outputs for each character where the team went above and beyond. While Goku is canonically unaffected as expected, characters like King Piccolo and Janemba take the most damage, Super Saiyan forms of characters take more damage than their base forms (including Goku) while characters like Goten, Chi-Chi and Arale take no damage. An interesting exception to the Super Saiyan rule is Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta who takes less damage than all the Vegeta forms except base Buu Saga Vegeta.

* MarketBasedTitle: What was referred to as the ''Sparking!'' series in Japan was changed to ''Budokai Tenkaichi'' internationally.
