Giants

Giants are characters categorized by being physically much larger than an average fighter. This makes them play a bit different compared to a normal fighter, and comes with a few advantages and disadvantages.
==Budokai Tenkiachi 3==
Giants generally move much slower than the average fighter, but have more average health (usually 4 bars) and have super armor on basically everything they do except against a small, powerful portion of the roster (for example, any SS3 character) and are immune to rush specials (notable exceptions being rush moves canonically used against giant characters such as Dragon Fist), with the rusher instead bouncing off the giant and dealing no damage. Giants also generally have much larger beams and ki blasts to match their stature, and their grabs also do large amounts of damage. However, their huge size means that ki blasts and beam moves used against them are extremely easy to connect, and against a human opponent they move so slow as to basically be worthless in a competitive sense (save for the very best giant characters, namely Hirudegarn and Ape Baby). Unfortunately, the BT3 AI can't quite grasp the concept of fighting giants, and will happily wait in front of a 2 second grab while launching ki blasts before they get punished for several thousand damage. Strangely, AI characters can recognize they're fighting giants as they'll never try to grab them but will still try to use rush specials, which are equally as worthless. Most saiyan characters have the ability to turn into giant Great Apes, but many of them can only do this in stages at night where the moon is visible.

The aforementioned AI issues mean that giant characters generally have a slight edge over most of the roster. The exception being rush heavy characters such as Burter or Nam being at insanely huge disadvantages as they constantly try to use rush specials that don't do anything. Videl is a notable example of this as she has no non-rush specials and despite over 300 tournaments taking place has never won in a straight up fight against a giant character. However, this also means giant fights have the potential for huge upsets as occasionally a fighter will put 2 and 2 together and prioritize their beam or ping special over anything else and clutch a victory. Winning coins in a giant fight comes down to knowing about their opponent's capabilities and then throwing a fit when you bet wrong anyways.
