Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi Tag Team Tournament Of Power Mod May 2026
Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team – Tournament of Power Mod
Part 2: The Roster – Over 200 Characters and Transformations
The original Tenkaichi Tag Team had roughly 70 characters (including transformations). The Tournament of Power Mod nearly triples that number.
Balance & Competitive Play
The mod includes a “Tournament of Power Mode” – a 8-player tournament bracket where each player selects a universe and fights elimination-style. The mod also adds: Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi Tag Team Tournament Of Power Mod
- Handicap system: Jiren starts with 150% health in single-player.
- Assist cooldown increased to prevent infinite tag combos.
- Ki sickness: If you spam supers, your ki recovery slows for 5 seconds.
Gameplay Narrative Features (Mod-Specific)
- Bond Meter: Fills via teamwork; affects arena and story cutscenes.
- Weave Shift: Temporary arena changes tied to team memories (grassy plains of Goku’s childhood, ruined future city for Trunks).
- Memory Echoes: Optional missions that reveal alternate outcomes; completing them grants new synergy moves but affects ending options.
- Dynamic Dialogues: Teammate conversations adapt to in-match choices; certain decisions lock or unlock endings.
- Moral Dilemmas: Key moments where gameplay choices have narrative cost (e.g., spare an enemy to fill Bond Meter but allow them to return later).
- Unlockables: Alternate costumes, “Memory Cards” showing omitted scenes, and a hidden Majin/Babidi teamline for darker playthroughs.

1. A Modern Roster Overhaul
The most immediate change is the character select screen. Over 30 characters have been either re-skinned, re-rigged, or entirely rebuilt. Notable additions include: Handicap system: Jiren starts with 150% health in
- Universe 7: Ultra Instinct Goku (Sign and Mastered), Vegeta (Blue Evolved), Android 17 (with his barrier and infinite energy loop), Frieza (Golden form).
- Universe 11: Justice-themed additions including a fully functional Jiren (Full Power), Toppo (God of Destruction mode), and Dyspo (with a speed-buff mechanic).
- Universe 6: Hit (with a time-skip counter), Kefla (the fused Super Saiyan 2 warrior), and Cabba.
- Other Universes: Anilaza (a giant character refitted from Great Ape assets) and Ribrianne.
Most impressive is how modders recreated unique animations using existing skeletons. For instance, Jiren’s glare punch replaces Broly’s rush attacks, while Kefla’s energy blasts use a modified version of Gotenks’ particle effects.
How to Install (Hypothetical)
- Requires a modded PSP, PS Vita, or PPSSPP emulator.
- Download the ToP Mod Pack (approx. 4GB – includes new models, animations, and sound files).
- Patch the original Tenkaichi Tag Team ISO with xdelta patch.
- Copy to
/PSP/GAME/folder. - Launch and select “Tournament of Power” from the main menu.
The Most Impressive Feat: Transformations in Tag Mode
The modders cracked the game’s code to allow transformations during tag-team battles. In the original game, only the active character could transform. In the ToP Mod, if you have Goku and Vegeta on the same team, both can independently transform into Blue or UI mid-fight, swapping in and out to preserve energy. This single change makes the 2v2 battles feel like the Dragon Ball Super anime.
