Adapted Out: Due to Budokai 2's very roundabout way of telling its story, certain characters were straight up gone as a result, such as Kid Gohan, Frieza and Cell's previous transformations (they both start out in their Final and Perfect forms), Android 19, Dodoria and Zarbon.Adaptational Early Appearance: Done on purpose in Vegeta's What If? story in Budokai 1, where he achieves Super Saiyan while on Earth, due to a combination of getting stronger by beating Goku, Gohan and Krillin and his rage when he perceives Yajirobe's remarks about Nappa as an insult of the Saiyans' honor.His Tenkaichi incarnation is instead a Lethal Joke Character with weak stats but can be a top tier if used legitimately.


Satan/Hercule, who in the anime and manga's Lovable Coward being weak to superpowered villains who could destroy a continent with a lift of a finger, can now fight at an equal footing with a Super Saiyan, meaning you can have him legitimately defeat Cell in the Cell Games.
