3. Rebalanced Stats (The "No Cheese" Rule)
In vanilla BT3, characters like Broly (Z) and Yajirobe were broken via unblockable throws or health regeneration. Canon V7 implements a "Canon Power Scale": Base game: Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3
- Beerus & Whis are virtually unbeatable by anyone below God-level (unless you are MUI Goku).
- Yamcha & Chaozu are viable but realistically weak—great for challenge runs, not tournament sweeps.
- Jiren (Full Power) has armor against all non-ultimates.
