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.
- 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.
- 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.
