Easy Power Struggle
When preforming an Ultimate, or defending against one, rotate the analog stick slower. That way, your Ki power bar moves slower, and it is easyer to get a high ammount of Ki.

Easy Ring-Out In World Tournament
To get an easy ring-out in the world tournament, go to the edge of the ring. Right before your enemy hits you, hold X and tap over (in your opponents direction) to teleport behind them and hit them out of bounds. Sometimes, though, they will counter and after you teleport behind them, they may quickly teleport behind you. So make sure you have plenty of Ki so if that happens, you can quickly counter them.

Unlock Metal Cooler
To unlock Metal Cooler, go to Goku's Dragon Universe the second (or higher) time. After you fight Frieza the first time, three red dots should appear on your map. Go to the one on the Central Continent. You should already have unlocked Cooler, because this will NOT unlock Cooler. Fight him at the dot. Then when you beat him, there will be a dot in the same place. Go to it and talk to Metal Cooler. After you talk to him, go just north of his spaceship. Go to the "???" event, and you will recieve the "Cooler's Spaceship" capsule. It the capsule is equipped to Cooler during battle, it will allow Cooler to turn into Metal Cooler if he is defeated in a battle.

Destroyed Level
On the level select screen, press O instead of X to select a level. When the level appears, it will be a destroyed version of it. This will not work on "Inside Buu", "Hyperbolic Time Chamber", or "World Tournament". In my opinion, its more fun to destroy the level yourself with an Ultimate.
