* Blast Combo - Players can now kick their opponent into the air and attack them again by quickly teleporting behind them.
* Sonic Sway - This technique simply allows the player to evade the opponents attacks. Since it takes longer for the attacker to get back into their fighting stance than it does the player dodging the attacks, the attacker is left with an open defense. The one evading can then quickly counter-attack their opponent. However, this feature only applies to physical attacks aimed for the upper part of the body; if the opponent aims for the player's legs, for example, they cannot evade the attacks.
* Z-Counter - The ability to counter attacks by teleporting behind the enemy. This is a technique seen in the series many times.
* Z-Burst Dash - An enhanced version of the dash attack from the previous game, this time the player can zig-zag to dodge attacks or surprise the enemy.
* The addition of a new day and night system allows players playing as certain Saiyans to harness the power of the moon to transform into a Great Ape.
* By adding a new Battle Replay mode, players can now capture all of their favourite fights and watch them again later on. There are also several camera angles you can use to swap views of the battle.
* The Wii version no longer uses the sensor bar. The game instead will use gestures and will provide a little animation at the bottom left corner of the screen to demonstrate how to perform techniques.
* During Story mode, called Dragon History within the game, quotes appear at the bottom of the screen as the player fights and change based on their fighting. Who wins and loses causes a change in the story line, essentially making the game a what-if scenario all the way through.
* A new Z-Point system replaces the leveling system from Tenkaichi 2. The more Z-Points a character has, the more Z-items can be equipped.
