Overview

Majin Buu is an ancient creature who brought the universe to its knees before being sealed away on Earth, only to be unleashed by the wicked wizard Babidi. While highly dangerous, Buu was also as innocent as a newborn baby, a fact that Mr. Satan used to help reform him and transform him into a protector of Earth who is friendly to all around him, especially if they come to him with gifts of candy.

In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Buu is a zoner/aggressor, with a playstyle built around annoying and baiting his opponent. Extremely potent mixup game, oppressive neutral, and one of the strongest corner bullies in the game.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Corner loop that builds about 2 meters and does a lot of damage.
  • Amazing mixup game.
  • Can combo into snap for no meter when in the corner.
  • Can fuzzy every character in the game (even GT Goku).
  • Great normals.
  • Standing overhead in the form of 5M that can be comboed off of meterless.
  • Level 3 restores some blue life, giving Buu some solid solo regeneration without Sparking.
  • Good assist, large hitbox with a pop up with decent hitstun and blockstun, and various late hitboxes that make it easy to combo with.
  • Oppressive playstyle.
  • Amazing neutral.
  • Abnormal combo path, and bad damage out of the corner.
  • Level 3 does below average damage and has below average oki.
  • Large hitbox, making him vulnerable to big character-specific combos and fuzzies.
  • Has to modify some combos for short characters.
  • Spends a lot of meter.
  • Builds less meter than the average Goku.
  • Can't get his signature mixups solo without spending meter.
  • Normals have abnormal hitboxes and it's sometimes hard to work with them.
  • Can't get much done on his own, needs assists to properly function.
  • Easily one of, if not the hardest character(s) in the game to learn, due to his unique buttons and strings, as well as understanding how his combos and mixups work.

  • Cancelling into this from a blocked 5LL always leaves the opponent in too much blockstun for the throw to work.

One of Buu's most important tools. This move is a standing overhead that can be cancelled into 2M, 6M, H normals, or specials, making this a very good mixup tool. Can also cancel from 2M and L normals. 5M is slow, but the ability to combo off of it without assists makes it worth using. The startup can also be obscured with an assist, making this much more useful when Buu has assists to throw off the opponent. Unfortunately, using this as a starter scales damage fairly harshly (it has the scaling of a 6M starter).

  • Ground versions have a rising initial hit that scales the combo less than the drop.
  • The ground splash will only hit if the butt slam whiffed. Useful for crossups.
  • Cinematic will only play once per combo, triggered upon the overhead hits.
  • Damages listed below are on said Smash! hit. For example, a Smash! 236L will deal a total of: 100, 500, 100*3, 300.

  • Goes a short distance forward.

Air version can be comboed into in the corner using j.L > j.M > j.[S] > j.236L, allowing for easy conversion into Fat Throw resets. Can also create frame advantage on block if you TK it, so it can be useful during pressure to create frame traps.

  • Leaps gracefully to the opponent's location.
  • Automatically combo into Fat Throw if Fat Throw hasn't landed in the combo.

A fairly fast fullscreen tracking overhead. This move is good to throw out from time to time when your opponent isn't expecting it. It will also go over most (all?) beams, so if you have the read, throw it out in neutral to get some damage + pressure.

Air version can be comboed into everywhere on screen with j.L > j.M > j.[S] > j.236H.

Risky way to get your win condition.


  • Has beam properties but will only clash for one hit. Due to being a "beam," it will beat super dashes and Ki blasts.
  • Tracks the opponent but has maximum height it can go. Disappears mid throw if Buu gets hit.
  • On hit, keeps the opponent in place for a set amount of time. This fat shell can also be broken by hitting them out of it. Won't auto-break if Buu gets hit or tags out.
  • If the shell naturally breaks, the opponent is airborne and can air-tech immediately.
  • If the shell is hit, the opponent is grounded.
  • The capture only works once per combo.
  • As long as the opponent is still being caught, Buu can't do another Fat Throw.

Can be used for setting up standing resets. Can be comboed into with every single assist in the game. Though some assists, such as Vegeta's assist, are much easier to use than others. Some even require character specific timings such as Kid Buu's assist.

Due to the new Dive Bomb, for 1 bar Buu can combo into Fat Throw without assists. HOWEVER, he now needs assists to pop the shell so he can do any mixup at all, more specifically assists that leave the opponent grounded like Bardock, 16, Kid Buu.

  • Invulnerable from frames 13 to 20.
  • The explosion grows from Buu until it hits full screen.
  • Deals less damage and hits the further away the opponent is. At max range, does 13 hits.
  • Minimum damage is 42*19.

Incredibly easy to DHC into, and just as easy to DHC out of. Does fairly standard damage for a level 1. Overall, this is a pretty good super.

  • Minimum damage is 1536.

Majin Buu's level 3. This super doesn't do much damage compared to other level 3s, and the beam has a bad hitbox and doesn't travel very fast, making this super generally not worth it unless it's going to kill or Buu has a lot of blue health.
