Overview

Zamasu, a Supreme Kai-in-training from Universe 10, takes it upon himself to purge mortals in his misguided effort to protect the multiverse. As part of this plan, he uses the Super Dragon Balls to switch bodies with Goku, using the Saiyan hero's immense power, combined with his own godly abilities, to carry out the genocide of all mortals as the dark savior, "Goku Black".

In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Goku Black possesses a similar gameplan to that of Super Saiyan Goku, albeit with a larger emphasis on long-ranged attacks and mixups. He can enlist the aid of Future Zamasu to pin opponents down with a unique variant of his Kamehameha.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths

Weaknesses

Simple core gameplan and very low execution BnBs, which are generally universal.
Boasts some of the best neutral game options among the entire cast. God Slicer and Fierce God Kick are excellent, noncommittal approach options while also having access to a standard beam.
With meter, he has access to the best corner carry in the game. Can send opponents to the corner from nearly anywhere.
Holy Light Grenade is a decent Super that is easy to use in combos with and is able to be looped for additional damage.
One of the best assists in the game. He can be used to extend combos or to pressure opponents.

Some of his midscreen starters require him to use meter to get a sliding knockdown.
Only low is 2M, which hurts his mixup game.
NEEDS assists in order to make his pressure safe. By himself, he struggles opening up opponents with competent defense.
Long recovery times on normals makes him susceptible to momentum shifts; cannot afford to sleep on his standard neutral game.
Little to no defensive options. His only reversal is very expensive, generally making it risky to use.
Has a weak Ultimate Z Change in the form of God Slicer Dance.

+* Goku Black fires 4 Ki blasts forward and then follows up with an Ki-empowered stab.
+* Causes a sliding knockdown.
-The M version is an amazing special that knocks down the opponent, allowing for good mixup after reaching the ground. Surprisingly "safe" to throw around at neutral when covered with assists, since the reward is amazing on hit, with the opponent being placed in the corner almost always from midscreen.
+* Has superb corner carry if it lands on the opponent while in midscreen.
+* Can only be comboed into while in the corner due to slower start up unless used after a Vanish.
-However, it is limited to the corner since Goku Black can not combo into it midscreen without using Vanish.

-* Same as the M version but significantly faster for the 1 meter.
+* Costs 1 bar of meter.
+* Goku Black fires 4 Ki blasts forward and then follows up with an Ki-empowered stab.
+* Has all the advantages of the Medium version combined with the speed of the Light version.
-The H version carries the amazing utility of the M version with the speed of the L version. Basically, for one bar, any combo Goku Black does will end with the opponent in the corner thanks to this move. If Black has his back against the corner, a simple combo into Vanish > M God Slicer will switch positions with the opponent. Midscreen, the H version will always put the opponent in the corner since it can be comboed from j.S. Add to these benefits the fact that it covers even more distance than the M version and you're left with perhaps one of the best 1 bar special moves. Never doubt using it if you want to put your opponent in the corner.
+A staple of Goku Black's combos. Generally comboed into from j.S during air combos. The Medium version of God Slicer is a great move for ending combos in the corner since it deals good damage and causes sliding knockdown, while the Heavy version of God Slicer is especially noteworthy for being one of the best EX Specials in the game since it allows Goku Black to corner carry and cause a sliding knockdown no matter the situation for only 1 bar of meter. Additionally, if Goku Black has his back against the corner, a simple combo into Vanish > M God Slicer will switch his position with the opponent while still giving a sliding knockdown.
