*'''... 2M > 5M > jc.MLL2H > SD > j.MLL2H > jc.LL > Ender
| Oneliner  = Learn the BNB so you can unlock the true godly power that's within.
Standard Sayian BnB, the combo you will be using most often. Builds about 1.25 Meter and deals 4130 damage off a raw 2M.
| Difficulty = {{ComboDifficulty|Very Easy}}

| Video      = Dbfz black bnb.mp4
*'''... 2H > 214L > j.LL2H > jc.LL > Ender
| Size      = 720x480
Using 214L instead of superdash in combos yeilds slightly higher damage than using superdash, at the cost of being harder to confirm.

You may have noticed that you can do something like {{clr|L|5LL}} to go into this combo but this isn't ideal. When you start a combo with a light starter like {{clr|L|5L}}, it causes heavier scaling which means that your combo will do lower overall damage. Starting a combo with a heavy or medium starter will give it much better scaling with a lot more damage. That's also why you should manually input {{clr|M|j.M}} > {{clr|L|j.LL}} during the BNB instead of opting for using the auto combo since that counts as two light inputs rather than a medium input with two light inputs. When you start a combo with {{clr|M|2M}}, it will put the opponent in a sort of "trip" state that will allow you to continue the combo and even take it to the skies. In this situation, you use {{clr|M|5M}} to hit the opponent up a bit so you can jump cancel and convert into the air portion of the combo. From this point on, DBFZ conversions are very lenient and multiple routes can open up. You can either use an assist to bounce up the opponent more, go into {{clr|M|j.M}} > {{clr|L|j.LL}} > {{clr|S|j.S}} > {{clr|M|j.236H}} or whatever really. Try experimenting to see what you can come up with and feel free to use the combos below to help with that. Anything is possible in a 3v3 tag fighter!
*'''... 5H > SD > j.LL2H > jc.LL > Ender
}}
Not very useful unless you're going to end up in the corner.
*'''... 5H > 236M
Not very useful, but it's there and the corner carry is good.
<br>
Enders:
*'''... jc.LL > j.H
*'''... jc.LL > j.S > j.236L > j.236L+M/j.236H+S/j.214L+M
*'''... jc.LL > j.S > j.236L > Vanish > j.236M
Your most common combo enders, and even among them you will most commonly be using j.H.
<br>
*'''... jc.LL > j.S > j.236M
This only works if you're close to the corner, so it's recommended you use it in conjunction with 5H.


===Metered===
==Combo Theory==
*'''... 2M > 5M > jc.MLL > jc.LL > j.214H > SD > j.ML2H > jc.LL > Ender
{{MiniMoveCard|chara=Goku Black|input=236H|label=   }}
214H gives you your air action back, as well as a pretty sick looking superdash extention. Not really useful because it kills your meter gain.
Goku Black's combos are relatively basic. Because he lacks a non-metered special move to use his smash on for mid-screen combo extensions, he relies on universal options like smash {{clr|H|5H/2H}} or assists. Black also doesn't have a resource-less way to end his combos with a sliding outside of smash {{clr|H|j.H}}. While he does have two rejump combo options after {{clr|H|5H}}, both of these are difficult to execute consistently and may drop if the opponent reaches the corner before super dash connects.
*'''...jc.LL > j.S > j.236H
Not really useful also because '''j.S > j.236L > Vanish > j.236M''' does more damage.
 
==Corner==
===Meterless===
*'''... 2M > 5M > jc.MLL2H > j.MLL2H > j.LLS > j.236M
Modified Saiyan BnB for the corner. You'll mostly be wanting to learn the j.214M combo, but this is always here when you need it.
*'''... 2M > 5M > jc.[M]S > j.214M, 2M > 5M > 5S > SD > j.LL2H > jc.LLS > 236M'''
This combo takes advantage of the new wallbounce on Goku Black's dive kick, as well as the large hitstun on his 5S. Essentially your bread and butter corner combo.
 
===Metered===
*'''... j.LLS > j.236M > immediate j.236H+S/j.214L+M
*'''... j.LLS > j.236M > land > 236L+M
Your most common super options in the corner. Usually you want to land and use 236L+M for DHC's because it outdamages 236H+S.
 
== Assist Specific ==
 
===Midscreen===
 
===Corner===
Vegeta Assist:
'''2M > (delay) 5M > j.S > j.214M > j.66 > j.M (> j.S), 5M > 5S > SD > j.LL > j.2H > dj.LL > j.S > j.236M, Vegeta Assist > 236H+S > j.214M > 214LM'''


His options expand greatly in the corner, both in terms of extending and ending combos. {{MiniMoveCard|chara=Goku Black|input=j.214M|label={{clr|M|j.214M}}}} can either ground bounce or wall bounce the opponent and both lead into good damage. {{clr|S|5S}} combos directly into super dash, even if Black's smash has already been used. {{clr|S|j.S}} can be followed-up with {{MiniMoveCard|chara=Goku Black|input=j.236M|label={{clr|M|j.236M}}}} so long as hitstun hasn't degraded too far, granting him a meterless sliding knockdown without needing a smash launcher.


== Sparking Blast ==
After using a Vanish(H+M), Goku Black can use {{MiniMoveCard|chara=Goku Black|input=j.236M|label={{clr|M|j.236M}}}} for a knockdown and corner carry, though he can do {{clr|M|2M}} > {{clr|S|5S}} > {{MiniMoveCard|chara=Goku Black|input=j.236M|label={{clr|M|j.236M}}}} for extra damage if he is near the ground. When going for damage is preferred over a knockdown, use his autocombo for its forced smash. Whiffing {{clr|L|5L}} and hitting with 5LL makes this option more consistent and reduces combo scaling. If the opponent is high in the air after a vanish and Black still has his super dash (such as when using {{MiniMoveCard|chara=Goku Black|input=214L|label={{clr|L|214L}}}} instead of SD after a smash {{clr|H|2H}}), he can do SD > {{clr|L|j.LLL}} for both extra damage and a sliding knockdown.


===Midscreen===
Both of his level 1 supers lack a knockdown so they are best used when they will K.O. an opponent or if DHC'ing into another character. {{MiniMoveCard|chara=Goku Black|input=236L+M|label={{clr|L|236L}}+{{clr|M|M}}}} is his most damaging super so use this one if possible. If the opponent is too high to combo into a DHC, use {{MiniMoveCard|chara=Goku Black|input=236H+S|label={{clr|H|j.236H}}+{{clr|S|S}}}} to bring them back to the ground. Black's level 3 will always bring him back to the ground after the final hit so it can be used at any position and still grant him safe-jump oki.

Pretty simple sparking loop, however they nerfed it slightly for Goku Black which is a huge L so you can only do it once before it doesnt work anymore since none of Black's grounded moves hit.

The Bones of Basic DBFZ Combo Structure

How Do I Get Started?Learn the BNB so you can unlock the true godly power that's within.
[1] Very Easy

2M > 5M jc > j.M > j.LL > 2H > SD > j.M > j.LL > j.2H > jc > j.LLL
The basic DBFZ BNB for a large majority of the cast consists of 2M > 5M jc > j.M > j.LL > 2H > SD > j.M > j.LL > j.2H > jc > j.LLL. You may have noticed that you can do something like 5LL to go into this combo but this isn't ideal. When you start a combo with a light starter like 5L, it causes heavier scaling which means that your combo will do lower overall damage. Starting a combo with a heavy or medium starter will give it much better scaling with a lot more damage. That's also why you should manually input j.M > j.LL during the BNB instead of opting for using the auto combo since that counts as two light inputs rather than a medium input with two light inputs. When you start a combo with 2M, it will put the opponent in a sort of "trip" state that will allow you to continue the combo and even take it to the skies. In this situation, you use 5M to hit the opponent up a bit so you can jump cancel and convert into the air portion of the combo. From this point on, DBFZ conversions are very lenient and multiple routes can open up. You can either use an assist to bounce up the opponent more, go into j.M > j.LL > j.S > j.236H or whatever really. Try experimenting to see what you can come up with and feel free to use the combos below to help with that. Anything is possible in a 3v3 tag fighter!

Combo Theory

DBFZ GokuBlack GodSlicer.pngGuardAllStartup13Recovery30Advantage-5 at best Goku Black's combos are relatively basic. Because he lacks a non-metered special move to use his smash on for mid-screen combo extensions, he relies on universal options like smash 5H/2H or assists. Black also doesn't have a resource-less way to end his combos with a sliding outside of smash j.H. While he does have two rejump combo options after 5H, both of these are difficult to execute consistently and may drop if the opponent reaches the corner before super dash connects.

His options expand greatly in the corner, both in terms of extending and ending combos. j.214MDBFZ GokuBlack FierceGodKick.pngGuardAllStartup18Recovery19Advantage-1~-6 can either ground bounce or wall bounce the opponent and both lead into good damage. 5S combos directly into super dash, even if Black's smash has already been used. j.S can be followed-up with j.236MDBFZ GokuBlack GodSlicer.pngGuardAllStartup20Recovery33Advantage- so long as hitstun hasn't degraded too far, granting him a meterless sliding knockdown without needing a smash launcher.

After using a Vanish(H+M), Goku Black can use j.236MDBFZ GokuBlack GodSlicer.pngGuardAllStartup20Recovery33Advantage- for a knockdown and corner carry, though he can do 2M > 5S > j.236MDBFZ GokuBlack GodSlicer.pngGuardAllStartup20Recovery33Advantage- for extra damage if he is near the ground. When going for damage is preferred over a knockdown, use his autocombo for its forced smash. Whiffing 5L and hitting with 5LL makes this option more consistent and reduces combo scaling. If the opponent is high in the air after a vanish and Black still has his super dash (such as when using 214LDBFZ GokuBlack InstantTransmission.pngGuardStartupTeleport 19, Appear 26Recovery3 (28 Total)Advantage- instead of SD after a smash 2H), he can do SD > j.LLL for both extra damage and a sliding knockdown.

Both of his level 1 supers lack a knockdown so they are best used when they will K.O. an opponent or if DHC'ing into another character. 236L+MDBFZ GokuBlack GodSlicerDance.pngGuardAllStartup9+4Recovery50Advantage-24 is his most damaging super so use this one if possible. If the opponent is too high to combo into a DHC, use j.236H+SDBFZ GokuBlack HolyLightGrenade.pngGuardAllStartup9+4Recovery29Advantage-30 to bring them back to the ground. Black's level 3 will always bring him back to the ground after the final hit so it can be used at any position and still grant him safe-jump oki.

Beginner Combos

Beginner.png Basic combos are simple combos with the fewest requirements and conditions possible. They:
  • Work against every, or almost every, character in the game
  • Can be performed from most positions in the play area
  • Require few adjustments, and if any are required they are simple

If you're new, these are the combos you should focus on learning for a baseline of being able to play Goku Black. Don't worry too much about knowing every single combo, just having these simple ones down can do you pretty well.

Searching For Greater Power

So you want to take Black to the next step? Here's some extra stuff that isn't needed to play the character but is good to know if you're really trying to get serious with your Godly (Mid Tier) Ki.

Combo Damage Meter Gain Meter Usage Works on Position Notes Example
2M > 5M jc > j.M > jc > j.M > j.S > j.214M > SD > j.M > j.L > j.2H > jc > j.LL > j.S > j.236M 4660 1.5 0 Everyone Near Corner Note that this is for when you're NEAR the corner and not exactly on it, spacing matters! Come Back Later!
2M > 5M > 5S > 2H > 214L > j.M > j.2H > jc > j.LL > j.S > j.214H > H+M > 66 > 5L (whiff) > 5LL > 5LLL > SD > j.LL > j.2H > jc > j.LLL 5656 WiP 1.65 Everyone Mid Screen A high damage vanish combo, you can end off with a j.S into j.214H rather than j.LLL for a better knockdown and some more damage. Come Back Later!
2M > 5M > 5S > 2H > 214L > j.M > j.2H > jc.LL > j.S > j.214L > H+M > SD > j.LLL 5025 WiP 1 Everyone Mid Screen 214L preserves your smash for j.H. Removing j.S and delaying the vanish after j.214L allows you to keep your side, though the timing is tricky. Come Back Later!

Out For Blood?

DBFZ is an inherently monkey game, might as well go all out with some Sparking combos.

Combo Position Damage Meter Gain Works on: Difficulty Notes

2M > delay 5M > 5S > 236S > Sparking! > ... Corner ? ? All Corner Sparking activation combo.
... > Sparking! > land > 2M > jc back > j.S > IAD cancel > j.M > j.S > j.214M > ... Corner ? ? All Corner j.S combo, sadly only works once because none of Goku Black's normals hit high enough.
