Born "Kakarot", Son Goku was sent to Earth shortly before the Saiyan race was driven to extinction by Frieza. Raised 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. Time and again, when Earth fell under siege from threats, Goku rose to the occasion, pushing himself to greater heights of power as he protects the world that became his home and the people closest to him.
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 character to consider.
