==Overview==
{{Bio
| name = SS Vegeta
| game = DBFZ
| quote = I...am Super Vegeta!
| lore = Vegeta IV, the prince of the Saiyans, originally came to Earth in search of the Dragon Balls to grant himself immortality, and would be defeated by Goku, the man who would go on to be his greatest rival. After seeing him attain the fabled state of Super Saiyan, Vegeta was enraged and shocked, and trained without stopping in the hopes of attaining the form. His struggle would lead him to a desolate planet, and his desperation, rage, and despair culminated into the violent awakening of the Super Saiyan transformation he worked tirelessly to attain. Soon, his ruthless, selfish nature would be dulled by the meeting of his future son, Trunks, and would thereafter go on to be one of Earth's greatest defenders, yet remaining ever prideful of his race, and stopping at nothing to surpass Son Goku.
}}

===Playstyle===
{{StrengthsAndWeaknesses
| intro = {{Character Label|DBFZ|SS Vegeta}} is a balanced, rushdown fighter that takes pride in honest fundamentals.
| pros =
* '''Jack Of All Trades:''' Well-rounded character, allowing him to adapt to nearly every situation.
* '''Relatively Safe Zoning:''' Ki blasts [[DBFZ/SS Vegeta#5S|5S]] and [[DBFZ/SS Vegeta#j.S|j.S]] enforce zoning, as they can be cancelled into [[DBFZ/SS Vegeta#Crushing Knee Kick| Crushing Knee Kick]] when the opponent commits to an approach.
* '''Special Assist:''' Exceptional support value with his [[DBFZ/SS Vegeta#Assist A|Assist A]], among the best for neutral and combo extension while also offering Vanish protection.
* '''Solid Buttons:''' Many moves are fast and safe on block, allowing for stagger pressure and resets.
* '''Reversal:''' [[DBFZ/SS Vegeta#Crushing Knee Kick|214M/H]] is an air-ok DP and is the heart of his zoning. [[DBFZ/SS Vegeta#Crushing Knee Kick|214L]] is also an anti-air option and can lead to great damage/TODs if valuable resources are spent. 
| cons =
* '''Stubby Range:''' Requires careful footsies game due to short-ranged normals.
* '''No Beam-style Poke:''' [[DBFZ/SS Vegeta#Consecutive Energy Blast|236S]] is outclassed by [[DBFZ/SS Vegeta#5S|5S]] and [[DBFZ/SS Vegeta#j.S|j.S]], while also sharing their weaknesses and more. 
* '''Blockstring Support:''' [[DBFZ/SS Vegeta#Assist A| A]] is nonexistent during blockstring pressure if the enemy knows it can be reflected and superdashed on block.
* '''Master of None:''' While well-rounded, is generally outclassed by specialist characters.

* Can be chained twice with 4L.

All things accounted for, this is a good jab. If there's a big enough delay between 5L and a follow-up 4L, you can make 6M plus on block to continue pressure.

Blockstring, stagger, and combo tool like most other 5LL's in the game.

{{Description|8|text=
* Can be repeated up to eight times.
* Frame advantage calculated on point blank hit.
* Becomes +3 on block if you use all 8 shots.
Amazing repeatable Ki Blast when it comes to the amount he can throw (8). You outclass a lot of other characters' Ki Blasts just by holding down the button. Because it's -4 like 5LL, you can attempt pressure resets with this move, but your options afterwards are far more limited.

{{Description|8|text=
* Vegeta's primary mixup tool.
* Good for staggers, but not as good as 5L.
You'll be using this move a lot. It's fast and it hits low, which also makes it good for mixups. It has pretty decent range for a light normal, but it's still a Vegeta normal and not as big as some others like A21.

{{Description|8|text=
* Vegeta's best midscreen combo starter.
In pressure, this move has similar uses to 5M, with the subtle difference that it hits low and it's typically a better combo starter.

{{Description|8|text=
* Recovery can be cancelled into j.2L, but not j.S.
You won't be seeing this move as often as you will see 214L, but it's still very important to Vegeta. On the ground it converts meterlessly so it's preferred over 214L to smack someone out of the air, but it won't always work in a pinch like 214L.

{{Description|8|text=
* Universal overhead.
Vegeta has some decent methods to space this out, so it's more useful than most. Watch Fenritti to see exactly how it's done, but there's a rough explanation in the Strategy section.

{{Description|8|text=
* Good air to air normal.
* Good air to ground normal when well spaced.
Vegeta's j.M is a great air normal. Where it particularly shines is in crossups, as it's range lends it to being a good crossup tool. This strength is also heightened in Sparking, where Vegeta can Instant Air Dash out of any of his grounded normals.

A downward elbow. It doesn't really have much horizontal range so when you use it as a jump in from an air dash, you'll want to make sure to get the spacing right.

{{Description|8|text=
* Good for baiting anti-air attempts. 
* Groundbounces grounded opponents.
* Useful for assist combos as it sends you and the opponent downwards without using SKD.
A divekick that has Vegeta do a downward kick at a 45 degree angle. It's good for stalling your falling momentum to make an opponent mistime their anti-air and punish it. It can also be good just to make your movement less predictable.

{{Description|9|text=
* Passes through the opponent.
* Launches the opponent directly upward in a tailspin.
* Hold or tap 2 (down) on hit for hit stop to combo easier.
This is an improved version of the L version. It's fast and goes full screen, making it great for punishing an opponent trying to do something on the ground when they're on the other side of the screen. The H version will launch the opponent directly upward in a tailspin on hit so when you space it well (about fullscreen distance), you can easily juggle the opponent to get a full combo

Rising Knee Kick. On hit, Vegeta follows up with a downward kick to send the opponent back down to the ground.

If done after using an up smash attack such as 2H and most j.2Hs, the move will cause a sliding knockdown with enough hit advantage to perform a super move on the ground. Otherwise, the move will not have enough hit advantage.

{{Description|9|text=
* Combos from 5S ki blasts at close range.
* Punishable on block at close range.
* Can be super dashed through so be careful.
Vegeta fires a rapid fire ki blast barrage. The barrage makes it have a lot of active frames compared to a regular beam assist so it can be good for controlling the ground space for an extended period of time. However, it can be super dashed through and the ground version can also be avoided by using regular air options as well so be careful.

{{#lst:{{PAGENAME}}/Data|j.236S}}
{{!}}-
{{Description|9|text=
* Can be super dashed through so be careful.
* Can push buttons when falling down afterwards.
The air version fires downward at an angle. The angle it comes down at is very good at blocking approaches from both the ground and the air. However, like regular ki blasts, opponents can still get through by super dashing. You can combine it with the right assist(s) to cover the super dash option and hinder approaches. Even without an assist to cover the super dash options, it can still be good to hinder approaches, so long as you use it strategically and don't use it predictably.

{{Description|8|text=
* Good for hindering an opponent's approach in neutral.
* One of the best assist to extend combos.
* Can be super-dashed through and reflected ''even on block.''
Super Vegeta's assist is the air version of his Consecutive Energy Blast special. The angle that it fires at makes it hard for your opponent to approach if they find themselves on the other side of it. Not good on block but extremely easy to convert into a combo. Also protects you from Vanish.

* Minimum damage: sideways: 814, downward: 770.
A great way to counter superdashes if his opponent is in sparking with low health, as all the damage will be done at once. With the new patch, it can now be used to bring opponents to the ground for DHCs. Some characters that can be Z Changed into from H+S Big Bang Attack include: Literally anyone with a beam super (you might want to delay it to increase damage if you're too high), Gotenks, 18 and many others.

* Minimum damage: 83*20 (1660)
Vegeta's Level 3. Because the beam goes fullscreen and is air OK, it's fairly easy to combo into. Even when used high up in the air, there's enough plus frames to hold [9] when you land and have a meaty j.H waiting for your opponent. Vegeta can also go for a Superjump IAD mixup, which is more difficult but more rewarding and harder for your opponent to block.
