A side kick. Moves Goku Black forward a good distance and has great range. The outer part of his leg does not have a hurtbox but does have a hitbox, giving a fantastic amount of disjoint. Will almost always connect after 5L, even if it hit the opponent at an awkward angle. Additionally, 5L's speed and ability to cancel into this on whiff makes this a powerful button in neutral. 5LL is also one of Goku Black's best combo starters as it has fantastic cancel options and scaling.

Rising strike using Goku Black's signature Ki technique, God Slicer, that causes the ground to erupt with Ki. Both the blade and the Ki eruption have a hitbox, granting the move both extreme range and active frames. Often sees use in extended combos such as continuing a combo after Vanish or certain optimal corner routes.

* Can deflect Ki blasts.
A downward slash with a God Slicer that moves Goku Black forward. Has massive range both horizontally and vertically, giving Black an attack that can easily punish poor spacing. It can blow through all sorts of attacks thanks to the God Slicer's massive disjoint and ki blast deflection. In combos, it can be followed up with Super Dash mid-screen for good corner carry or it can be looped in the corner with the use of assists for big damage.

Goku Black slashes the air with his God Slicer, releasing a Ki blast that travels slowly at first but picks up speed rapidly. Slightly negative on block if the blade connects but the ki wave deals a large amount of blockstun, leaving Black positive even up close. This move's ability to deflect ki blasts and retaliate with a ki blast of his own allows Black to shut down any zoning done with low durability projectiles. Though the ki blast does less damage than the blade, the absence of poration on it makes it fantastic for boosting a combo's damage.

Basic crouch jab that does not hit low, though it has a deceptively large hitbox. While it has better range than 5L, it has worse frame data and cancel options. At max range, 2L won't combo into 5L, making it impossible to combo into 5LL which hurts the damage of any combo that this scenario starts. Use 5L instead whenever possible.

* Noted for being Goku Black's only low move.  
Leg sweep that hits low and moves Goku Black forward slightly giving it more reach than expected. 2M is the key to all of Black's mix-ups. Use it after doing Instant Transmission then time j.H so that the hit box doesn't come out for a deceptive empty jump low. One of Black's best starters in terms of damage and practicality, though thanks to his amazing 5LL this isn't his go to attack for following up vanishes like most of the cast.

Goku Black moves forward while doing an upward slash with a God Slicer. Infamous for having an extremely large hitbox with many active frames, arguably the best 2H in the game in when it comes to neutral. Like all other God Slicer using attacks, 2H has fantastic disjoint and can deflect ki blasts. Can be canceled into 5S for pressure resets or into Kamehameha to frame trap opponents who try to mash out of pressure. The Smash version is used in combination with EX God Slicer for corner-to-corner combos thanks to the height that it provides. Doesn't see much use in Black's optimal corner combos.

Aerial chop that makes a good air-to-air normal due to its horizontal range. Its vertical range leaves much to be desired, resulting in whiffs during combos if the opponent is slightly below Goku Black. This also makes it difficult to hit short characters crouching and makes it near impossible for Black to set up fuzzies.

Flip kick with excellent range and damage, making it Goku Black's best jump-in and air-to-ground combo starter. Has fantastic synergy with his Instant Transmission where the timing of the input allows Goku to either complete the move and hit overhead or touch the ground before the hitboxes appear to shift into 2M for a low. Rarely used to end air combos as he has a better option in j.S to Light God Slicer. Can also be used to acquire Dragon Balls or summon Shenron if all the Dragon Balls have been discovered and Black has 7 bars.

Standard air ki blast that is angled diagonally downward.

Can poke opponents to button check them in neutral, leading into a combo on hit if vanish canceled. Be wary, this ki blast is beaten by higher priority projectiles, super armored moves, and Super Dash.

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 an effort to surpass and mock the Saiyan warriors, he developed his own transformation, Super Saiyan Rosé, a pink variation of the Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan transformation.

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.
  • God Slicer blades grant him huge disjointed attacks that deflect ki blasts.
  • 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 and long range normals.
  • With meter, he has access to the best corner carry in the game. Can send opponents to the corner from nearly anywhere.
  • Versatile supers. Holy Light Grenade has decent utility and is loopable while God Slicer Dance can be used to finish enemies thanks to the buffed damage.
  • One of the best assists in the game, which can be used to extend combos or to pressure opponents.
  • Fairly simple to deal with if the enemy is familiar with the matchup.
  • Only low is 2M, which hurts his mixup game.
  • Somewhat slow startup and recovery on some of his moves. This also hurts his mixup game a lot, as some of his strongest tools for mixups (214L/M/H and 214S) have telegraphed startups that can make them easy to react to. They are still good tools, but this hurts Black a lot.
  • NEEDS assists in order to make his pressure safe. By himself, he struggles to open up opponents with competent defense.
  • Little to no defensive options. His only reversal is very expensive, generally making it risky to use.

You'd think like the Monkey King version of Wukong/Goku, our version would've been able to make magical doppelgangers out of himself the same way.
