Controls

8 Directions, 6 Buttons

Dragon Ball FighterZ uses a layout very familiar to fighting game players. It uses the D pad for 8 way direction input, not analog input (though the Analog Stick can be used).
There are 6 attack buttons in total: L (light), M (medium), H (heavy), S (Special), Z1 (Z Assist 1), Z2 (Z Assist 2) .

Universal Button Commands

Super Dash (H+S)
Homing dash attack avoids Ki Blasts. On hit, can followup into a combo. Punishable on block.
Dragon Rush (L+M)
Dash forward and attack the enemy with an unblockable launcher. Can not hit opponents in blockstun. If two opponents Dragon Rush at each other, then they break away from each other. Effectively the throws of this game. Pressing Z1 / Z2 during a successful Dragon Rush will knock out the opponent's character and swap in a new one depending on which button was used, similar to a Snapback in the Marvel vs. Capcom series.
