You should give him solar flare its his move and in the orginal Dragon Ball he used a kamehameha against Yamucha.

right now I've completed all his animations except for the ki attacks.
what do you think I should give him for attacks? he will definitely have the tri beam but I'm not sure about the rest...other games have him using the dodon ray but I can't rally find any isntances of him using that in the show. in Dragon Ball he fired a similar attack but from his palm and he shot a thin laser from his third eye.
I'd go for that eyelaser for sure! Didn't he use the kikoho against Nappa or something?
About the model. Try increasing his torso a bit. Tenshinhan had a huge chest. He's one of the most muscular Z fighters. He's also the second tallest next to Piccolo. So make sure he's about as big as Raditz.

Tenshinhan needs the rapid fire ki blasts he also needs dodon ray tri beam and solar flare and I'd say that's about it... unless you want to add more.. Tenshinhan is a pretty fail character and he isn't a serious fighter in the series he barely has any GOOD fights where he uses a lot of different moves.

As a matter of fact, it isn't!
Always be sure to keep the standard blast, ball, beam, and energy storm attacks on characters as they each have particular tactical roles which will be more emphasized in later builds.

thanks guys I finished animating I gave him:
ki blast/ki storm
ki ball/ki beam
dodon ray
tri beam
solar flare
Nemix: I use maya...that's basically the main reason why I did the animations myself cause I don't know max 
TheXenon: Tenshinhan is the man

No eyelaser? Get rid of the solar flare and add this instead. It's practically the same animation too.

not really a big fan of the eyelaser...but the solar flare is pretty lacking in identifiable function so it might be a good swap.

*laughing out loud* funny *intense laughter*
ahm... Lonno, can't you rig Tenshinhan to ZEQ2 skeleton and export it as md3 with maya???
because if that would work, I would get maya and you could show me how to rig / vertex weight

no bips don't work in maya...I had to build my own rig and weight it and animate it.
maya isn't really the best to work with for this, there's no working md3 exporters for later versions...so I have to export the animated mesh to 3dsmax to export it as md3.
have you tried looking for tutorials online? I've heard it not hard to do skin weights in max I'm sure there's plenty of info on it.

Well if we are going to be using thing from Dragon Ball in ZEQ2-lite a lot of things will have to change won't they... and if you are using Dragon Ball moves then add in that move where there are 4 of him
Also I thought ZEQ2-lite was to be accurate to Dragonball Z not Dragon Ball.

Lonno (and others) might try to looking into a solid interchange format. COLLADA isn't a bad choice and is mostly supported overall. If you can preserve the skeleton and animation frames as is, you should be able to load the .bip on a skeleton and export those results to other applications for usage.

Would be pretty hard to do, since bots are not supported yet.
Also the characters don't suddenly forget all their moves they used in dragonball. Perfect example is the volleyball attack in budokai!

So Lonno any updates? I'm eager to learn how you got your character in game! I'll be needing that information. :p

well it looks like I'm not going to get this done....it really bites after putting all that time in doing animations...but I can't get him working properly in game and I've tried everything I can think of...
my problem is that I'm using maya which can't export tags correctly. so I'm trying to pipeline it to max then export as md3...max exports everything fine but somewhere in going from maya to max my animations aren't translating over properly so all of them get altered slightly..but in game its very noticeable and ruins pretty much all of them(looping animations got ruined)
I tried transfering it to max with fbx and collada, niether worked correctly.
I think my only option would be to scrap all the animation I've done and try to learn max and use the .bip provided......right now I'm too busy for that..but I do want to learn max eventually so maybe sometime soon I'll have the free time to check it out.

Man that bites indeed. I would feel pretty frustrated too. Hope Zeth can help you out there.
