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.

A gut punch that moves Goku Black forward. As basic as a 5M can get, though it is still important for extending combos without expending Black's Smash through a jump cancel. Use 5LL instead if possible. |

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. |

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. |

Goku Black does a short hop into a flip kick, hitting opponents overhead. Very basic, Black has other tools that can do the same job. Requires an assist or Sparking Blast to convert a successful hit into a combo. |

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. Used to end air combos with either the light or heavy version of God Slicer, the former for follow-up supers and the latter for a corner knockdown. 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. |

Upward split kick used to extend air combos by using Goku Black's Smash to combo into Super Dash or lead into additional air normals by canceling the non-Smash version into a double jump. Doesn't hit overhead like Black's other air normals. |

Goku Black unleashes a Kamehameha that goes full screen. Cannot be angled or used in mid-air which limits its usefulness, but it recovers 2 frames faster than SSJ Goku's or Gohan's beams. This is Black's best zoning tool as well as a decent frame trap when it is used after a heavy on block. |

Zamasu appears behind the opponent and grabs them while Goku Black fires a Kamehameha. Even if Zamasu misses the grab, Goku Black will still fire off the Kamehameha. As a full screen command grab, this move is an important tool in Black's mix-up game. Use sparingly as this move is fairly easy to avoid by either jumping or hitting Black during the long start-up. |
