Overview

Born "Kakarot", Son Goku (named directly after the Japanese naming of Journey to the West protagonist Sun Wukong) was sent to Earth shortly before the Saiyan race was driven to extinction by Frieza. Found and cared for by martial artist Son Gohan, and brought up by the Turtle Hermit, Master Roshi, Goku would eventually grow into a young man, with both a burning passion for testing his might against other fighters and a strong sense of justice. However, his ceaseless lust for battle would endanger himself, his friends, his planet, and even his universe, but through these hardships he has pushed himself further and further beyond, unlocking the legendary power of Super Saiyan after his friend, Krillin, was killed by Frieza. Even under constant threats, Goku has stepped up, pushing himself in order to protect his friends or correct his mistakes, and always hoping for another fun challenge in the future.

In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Super Saiyan Goku is a well rounded character. He has buttons with good reach, his specials and their variants provide additional neutral, mixup and combo extension options and his Super Kamehameha is very flexible, making it easy to combo into from any situation. If you're new to fighting games and are looking for a beginner-friendly character, or you're a veteran looking for a solid character to round out your team, Super Saiyan Goku is a good option to consider.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths Weaknesses
  • High average damage.
  • Has an anywhere, meterless sliding knockdown.
  • His buttons range from good to amazing, with one of the best 2M in the game.
  • Amazing stagger pressure with 4LL, and most of his normals being safe on block.
  • One of the few beam assist in the game.
  • Makes good use out of Sparking with Ki blast loops; allows for corner carry and very high meter gain.
  • Mix-up game is very basic.
  • While he has options for every situation, he is generally outclassed by specialist characters.

DBFZ SSGoku 5L.png
  • Basic jab.

Shares near identical frame data with 2L, but its less overall frames and its better whiff cancelable properties make this a safer button to throw out in neutral. It also has more range and a better hitbox for catching airborne opponents.

Has less range than his other mediums though so make sure not to whiff with this move.

Mostly used as combo filler.

  • Stays grounded
  • Can link into j.L in the corner
  • Jails into Vanish

Offers no mix-up potential and doesn't provide him any combos that are as damaging as his other routes. The hitbox while reaches behind him is also firmly horizontal which prevents it from connecting after his 5LL hits an airborne opponent.

  • Decent range

Should always be used after 2M as it is a better neutral and block string tool that needs 5M's jump cancel properties to convert into max damage.

  • Wall splats on Smash hit.
  • Non-Smash can still combo into Super Dash in the corner.

Staggered 5H can beat Solo Guard Cancel thanks to its "privileged" frame data.

  • Mash or hold S to shoot all 6 Ki blasts.
  • Last Ki blast launches.

You should always only use 2 Ki blasts. Shooting less is safer, shooting more is easier to confirm, 2 is the perfect amount to react with 2H punish or Vanish confirm.

  • Great range and very active hitbox.
  • Launches on hit.

Absolutely vital to Goku's gameplan. 2M 2M and 5S 2M beat mashing more often than you'd expect.

This amazing 2M and the damage Goku gets from it is why you have to respect his stagger. One wrong move and you can easily lose 5k.

Jump back j.S is a decent keep away. Can also be used higher up to snipe grounded opponent, but beware of the landing recovery.

This is also a fantastic combo filler, being used in all combos from basic BnBs to advanced loops.

  • Sliding knockdown on Smash hit. Can combo into Supers.

  • Ground bounces and sliding knockdown on Smash hit.
  • Goes almost fullscreen.

j.236M can be linked from 214M and j.214M in the corner, which is also the only way for him to solo extend meterlessly with the ground bounce. Close to the ground, he can do j.236M ▷ 5L or 2L, slightly higher up he can do j.L > j.S on the way down, very high up it's j.M > j.S. Note that there's a small "deadzone" where j.236M ▷ 5L/2L doesn't work.

SD > j.214M into j.236M extension works at further from the corner than you'd expect. This extension is also Goku's highest damaging combo route.

  • Teleports to the opponent, ground version has no vertical tracking, air version tracks everywhere on screen.
  • Values in [ ] is when the opponent is in untech time (air hitstun).
  • Ground bounces and sliding knockdown on Smash hit.

While the ground bounce is the same as M version, the fast teleport on startup makes it a lot more flexible to combo into and solo extend.

Teleport comes from the direction Goku's facing and not the opponent's. So a cross-up normal jump into j.236H will hit from their back. IAD and super jump won't work because he will turn around.

  • Ground version keeps grounded opponent standing.

j.214L after a blocked SD (yours or the opponent's) is a decent check to see if they are pressing any button.

Its fast startup also makes it able to combo from non-Smash j.H and j.2H.

  • Has great corner carry.

Similar to M versions. H versions don't have enough utilities to justify the 1 bar they spend.

  • Both versions can be angled by holding Template:2 or Template:8 after the input.
  • Ground and air sideways wall splat.
  • Ground aimed up and air aimed down launches.
  • Jails into Vanish.

Its ability to be used both on the ground or in the air as well being able to angle both versions gives Goku a commanding presence at long range. Tk.236S[2] is also a very efficient cross-up fake out.

  • Wall splats.

The beam will wash away everything on ground level, letting you approach pretty much risk-free. It's also really good at covering for mixups. Goku assist into tick throw DR is extremely good due to the colors of the two blending together.

As a combo extension tool, it's rather lacking midscreen, but really good in the corner. Typcally used at the end of combos after bringing the opponent back to the ground, either to continue the combo with its wall splat or into snapbacks.

  • Minimum damage: Straight: 77*10 (770), Ground aimed up: 81*10 (810), Air aimed down: 75*10 (750).

j.236LM[2] can set up safe jumps if Goku isn't too high up and still has his air options.

DHC-ing into Goku still lets him aim it up for more damage. And he can also aim after DHC-ing out, that plus its "suction" enables some unique DHC-nergies like down Kame into Piccolo's fully charged SBC.

Aiming up always has enough hitstun to link into Vanish afterward.

Goku's only invincible reversal. On hit, the most you can get as oki is dash jump j.M safejump.

Some characters can DHC into this Super and have it stays same side, either by side switching before the DHC, or by hitting them in a way that turns their backs away from the corner (Tien Lv1+1 and Yamcha).
