Overview

The incarnation of Son Goku appearing in Dragon Ball GT. The Pilaf Gang, using the Black Star Dragon Balls, accidentally wishes for Goku to return to when he was a child, thus returning to the prime of his youth. The use of these Dragon Balls, however, would destroy the planet in a year and were scattered through the galaxy, making Goku, his grandchild Pan, and Trunks (not to be confused with Future Trunks) to step into the grand tour to recover them. Goku in this iteration has a tail, so as to better control his Saiyan energy during Super Saiyan 3, as his young body is very frail and struggles to do so naturally. He attained Super Saiyan 4 (the strongest Super Saiyan form in GT) on the resurrected Planet Tuffle after absorbing Blutz Waves produced by the light reflected from Earth. He also wields the Power Pole, a magic pole that Goku was given by his Grandfather, Son Gohan. It has the ability to extend to great lengths, perhaps even indefinitely, and was one of the most important tools in Goku's arsenal in his younger years.

The Dragon Ball GT version of Goku joins Dragon Ball Fighterz as a DLC character. Here, GT Goku excels at everything you could possibly ask him to do, but especially in speed and damage.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths

Weaknesses

Capable of taking on any situation. All-around fantastic at everything. Small hurtbox and is very fast. This makes it hard for his opponent to ascertain what he is actually doing. Is a mixup machine with long blockstring, 3 lows, specials that put him in the air for easy assisted high/low, an aerial fastfall for left/right, and finally the best okizeme in the game with Super Ultra Spirit Bomb. Utilizes meter very efficiently. Both of his EX specials allow him to dominate the neutral or outright skip it. Does average damage on his own, but with resources he becomes one of the highest damaging character in the game. One of the best anti-air assist in the game. Can be easily converted on hit and forces the opponent to the ground on block.

Most of his normals are stubby, despite the few really strong outliers. No traditional Ki blasts, and Power Pole is too slow for keepaway.

On air hit, has next to zero knockback allowing him to convert into 5LL. One of the stronger 5L to mash out. 5LL 5LL normal Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 180×4 All 10 2(2)2(2)2(2)2 18 -4 B2 - - - 2×4 - 15 - - Goes half screen. All hits easily connect against airborne opponents Extremely high reward on hit, can be easily converted into a corner carry combo or a sideswitch combo (which he has 2 of). The multi-hits and absurd length it travels also makes it more likely to hit or even winning against clashes. It's also better than most 5LL on block since it locks down the opponent for longer as Goku stalls for his assist to regen. 5LLL 5LLL normal Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 1000 Throw 11 1 20 (whiff) - B6 - U3+ - 12 - - Launch 39 Switches sides on hit. Cancelling into this from a blocked 5LL always leaves the opponent in too much blockstun for the throw to work. Very commonly used for back-to-corner combos and to combo into Spirit Bomb with assists at the end of a combo. Like other grab 5LLL, Goku can also tickthow with low blockstun assists, though this isn't crucial for him as he has numerous other options to open opponents up.

5M

Advances forward a respectable distance If you get tagged by this in the corner, you're going to die. Simple as.

5H

Essentially a less useful 5M. Mostly a blockstring filler.

5S

5S E X P A N D	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 5S normal Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 750 All 20 5 20 -2 B3 - U1+ - 12 - 19 Launch / 39
Near fullscreen physical strike that does not have any hurtbox. The pole's hitbox is at the tip and travels forward like a projectile. Wall splats on Smash hit, can confirm with SD. Rather slow, loses to projectiles, controls a very limited space, reward on hit is rather lacking. Is not seen often due to GT Goku already having fantastic neutral tools, but good to throw out from time to time.

2L

2L	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 2L normal Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 400 Low 7 3 13 -4 F1 - - - 5 - 11 16 -
2L slides forwards, but 2LL does not. While the slide sounds pretty good. From a blockstring into 214L airdash high/land low, even in the corner, 2L will whiff against most of the cast. You'll mostly be using 2M for the mix even if it's slower.

2M

2M	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 2M normal Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 700 Low 10 4 18 -6 F2 - - - 7 - 15 Launch 22
Shorter range than 5M, but goes further than 2L. The reward on hit is as high as 5M, but it's not something you can throw out in neutral. Blockstring 214L into land 2M if hit is a guaranteed 50%, or if he has resources, it's a dead character.

2H

2H	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 2H normal Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 850 / 1000 All 13 3 27 -15 B4 - U1+ - 12 - 15 Launch 22 / 39
Universal anti-air, faster than the average 2H Puts Goku airborne. On Smash hit, combos into SD. About the same as all of the other Goku's 2H. It's not fantastic, but it'll do.

2S

Vaults almost fullscreen. Hold Template:4 during startup to leap half as far Recovers in mid-air and has access to air options Whiff cancellable into j.S, j.2H, j.2S On block/hit, can be cancelled early into grounded attacks

6M

Universal overhead. Uses hit and hurtboxes of j.H.

It's a tiny jab.

j.H

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 5LLLLLLL Smash hit wall bounces j.H j.H normal Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 750 [1000] High 11 6 18 - H3 - [D3+] - 12 - - - - On hit, launches forward instead of down Faster than most j.H makes this the preferred jump-in compares to j.M, since j.H does more damage, has more range, and they are almost equally as fast.

j.S

j.S	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ j.S normal Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 750 All 18 3 19 - H3 - U1+ - 12 - - - -
Similar traits to 5S but hits with the entire pole instead of extending it out. Smash hit can confirm into Super Dash. This is Goku's main air combo extender. As a neutral tool, it shares some of the same downsides with 5S, though it's slightly better since the entire pole has a hitbox.

j.2H

j.2H Why is this plus

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ j.2H normal Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 850 / 1000 High 18 4 14+5L - H3 - D1 - 12 - - - - PLUS 4

Smash on air-to-air, gives SKD. As a blockstring, 2S > j.2H is a low > high that can be used really late into the string. It's not a true blockstring (12f gap) and j.2H can be easily anti-air'd, but if they choose to block, then this leaves Goku at +4 at minimum. As a combo ender, it's mostly used when Goku doesn't have any assists backing him up. Since the oki is bette than j.214M, and he can connect any Supers upon landing.

j.2S

j.2S

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ j.2S normal Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 400 All 14, Until Landing 2 14 (air), 28 (landing) -2 H1 - - - 5 - - - - Left/Right mix-up tool

Only hits once he touches the ground Can be aimed with j.1S or j.3S After touching the ground, is whiff cancellable to j.S and j.2H. Since all of Goku's air normals are either stubby or incredibly slow, he won't be doing typical IAD crossup like most characters (not without setups). So instead, he'll be mixing left/right with this move. It's still rather slow, but is extremely ambiguous. On a same side hit, he can confirm with 236M/H. On a back side hit, he can do 214S~4S and link into j.236L/H.

Special Moves

Dragon Flurry Fist

Smash hit wall splats. Essential combo extender in the corner. Ground H 236H H Dragon Flurry Fist special Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 300 / 300,150×4,1000 All 9 10 18 -3 (forced) B6 - U1+ - -100 - - Launch - Air H j.236H Air H Dragon Flurry Fist special Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 300 / 300,100×4,900 All 9 10 20 - H6 - U1+ - -100 - - - - Range of M versions with speed of L versions. Smash hit wall bounces. Can be followed up with dash 5LL. Extremely fast, always -3 on block regardless of distance, beats any form of challenge since it's a hitgrab, leads to a corner carry combo on hit. After a DR tech in the corner and Goku is the attacker, he can really just throw this out to regain advantage. If it hits he gets a combo, if it's blocked the opponent is forced onto the ground and he's +1 in the air.

Dragon Flash Fist

Dragon Flash Fist 214L/M/H (Air OK) Skipping neutral, literally

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Recovers in mid-air and has access to air options. All hits launches except for the last one. Considered a beam projectile. Ground L 214L L Dragon Flash Fist special Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 450, 100×5 All 15 19 20 (air), 26 (ground) -5 P2 - - - 1×6 - - - - Air L j.214L Air L Dragon Flash Fist special Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 450, 100×5 All 13 19 19 - P2 - - - 1×6 - - - - Stays mostly in place. Last hit causes a ground bounce that also forces soft knockdown. Filler for assisted combos since it doesn't Smash. Okay in neutral since it's a fast big orb right in front of Goku, stopping most approaches. Amazing in blockstring. 2H > j.214L is a true string that leaves you completely safe. 214L + assist is a very strong high/low with late airdash j.H and land 2M. Ground M 214M M Dragon Flash Fist special Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 500, 100×5 All 17 19 20 (air), 29 (ground) -5 P2 - D1 - 1×6 - - - - Air M j.214M Air M Dragon Flash Fist special Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 500, 100×5 All 15 19 19 - P2 - D1 - 1×6 - - - - Leaps forward a bit. Last hit on Smash causes a ground bounce SKD, non-Smash is similar to L versions. Alternate combo ender to j.2H. Though it's almost always a better ender in the corner. Since all versions always give an identical ground bounce, Goku can always end his corner combos with 214X or j.214X into Assist and 5LLL for Spirit Bomb setups. Ground H 214H H Dragon Flash Fist special Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 900, 100×5 All 15-23 - 20 (air), 26 (ground) -5 P2 - D1 - -100 - - - - Air H j.214H Air H Dragon Flash Fist special Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 900, 100×5 All 13-27 19 18 - P2 - D1 - -100 - - - - Tracks opponents' horizontal position, goes fullscreen and won't overshoot. Last hit on Smash causes a ground bounce SKD, non-Smash is similar to L versions. Combining with an assist, this is a risk free approach since it cannot be anti-air'd unless Goku is hit before he pulls his orb out. Though the reward on block or hit is not that great compares to similar tracking attacks.

Kamehameha

Kamehameha 236S (Air OK)

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Ground 236S Kamehameha special Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 262×5 All 20 [39] 25 21 -16 (point blank) P2 - - - 12 - - - - Slightly angled upward Hold S to charge and start running (data in [] refers to maximum charge without running back) Hold Template:4 during the charge to shimmy backward Jails into Vanish Air j.236S Air Kamehameha special Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 262×5 All 18 25 - - P2 - - - 12 - - - - Slightly angled downward Can be used the same way as SS Goku's j.236S2. Controls a giant part of the screen which is great since GT Goku does not have any other projectiles. 2H (blocked) > j.236S has a 3f gap so it can't be challenged without invincible reversals. However, the beam doesn't cover right underneath him. And since his hurtbox is tiny, the opponent can run under it and punish if it's being thrown out willy nilly.

Reverse Kamehameha

Reverse Kamehameha 214S (Air OK) Character defining

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Ground 214S Reverse Kamehameha special Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 700, 500 All 11, 25 3 (blast), 9 (headbutt) 30+15L -4 P2, B3 11-42 Guard - - 12×2 - - - - Air j.214S Air Reverse Kamehameha special Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 700, 500 All 11, 25 3 (blast), 9 (headbutt) 30+15L -4 P2, H3 11-42 Guard - - 12×2 - - - - Blast does more damage and hitstun/blockstun than headbutt. On block, blast jails into Vanish, while headbutt makes Goku recover in the air Direction + S allows 2 extra dashes even on whiff, block No direction + S does j.236S, if Goku haven't used all of his dashes yet Can be aimed diagonally. The first hit can only be Template:9, Template:6, Template:3, while the next 2 can be all 6 directions beside Template:8 and Template:2. Upward: Blast ground bounces Sideways: Blast wall bounces Downward: Headbutt ground bounces First dash of grounded version does not have Head property. Incredibly useful combo tool, allowing Goku to convert from j.2S, raw SD, and of course, solo combo into Spirit Bomb. Can be used as frame trap since it doesn't Smash, cannot be 2H'd, and Goku can solo convert off of this without meter if he's in the corner. In neutral, Goku can use this to escape the corner, or even use the downward dive to approach.

Z Assists

Kamehameha Assist A

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Assist A Kamehameha assist Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln Smash Prorate Ki Gain Attack Level Blockstun Ground Hit Air Hit 200×5 All 40 25 - +34 P2 - - - 0 - - - -

Ground beam, runs slightly forward Incredible anti air. While blockstun may be average for a beam, but the angle at which this fires makes it a prime neutral tool. It cuts off a huge section of the screen and forces the opponent to block at around superjump height, where a lot of players like to hang around. Blocking it drags them to the ground, allowing for your point character to run up and get pressure. On top of the upsides on block, it also has very high advantage on hit, allowing for superdash confirms pretty much everywhere. Depending on the point character, this assist can setup for unbeatable round starts as well.

Super Ultra Spirit Bomb

Super Ultra Spirit Bomb 214H+S (Air OK) Thank you, ArcSys

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Ground Air Cost 3 Ki gauges Minimum damage: 59*32 Teleports backward in midscreen before throwing the bomb, or switches side if he's cornered. Recovers in the air right after he throws it. Comboing after doesn't have Super scaling. Causes a hard knockdown if the opponent is left falling to the ground. Bomb disappears only if Goku is hit. Ridiculous damage, ridiculous oki, and ridiculously easy to setup. There are 2 common ways to combo into this super. Both requires the corner, though he can combo into it midsceen as well. First is 5LLL > 214S[2]~3S > j.214H+S, the second is anything > Vanish, j.214S~3S > j.214H+S. If you have meters, it's almost always a good idea to combo into this, then either go for the kill afterward by dumping some more bars, or save the meter and take the amazing oki. The easy way to setup the mix is land, 2M for frame kill, and then hold Template:9. It's then a safejump high, safejump crossup, meaty low, etc.
