Vegeta IV, the prince of the Saiyans, originally came to Earth in search of the Dragon Balls to grant himself immortality. He would be defeated by Goku, thus beginning a legendary rivalry between the two Saiyan warriors, and his lust to overcome Goku would push him to unlock the legendary power of Super Saiyan, a form he believed he was destined to achieve. Over time, Vegeta's wicked nature was tempered from his time on Earth and relationship with the Earthlings around him and, in time, became one of Earth's mightiest defenders. Even still, he remains ever proud, and continues to train with the sole purpose of surpassing and defeating Goku, his greatest rival.
In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Super Vegeta is another well rounded character, but his toolkit is more rushdown-oriented instead of dealing with any situation. He's slightly faster than the average character and has specials that either cover ground quickly or bait people trying to catch his approaches. His Big Bang Attack and Final Flash Supers are both easy to combo into as well, and his assist is also very good for neutral as well as extending combos in some situations, making him a solid character to put on your team as back up if you find your point character is lacking tools.
Strengths/Weaknesses
Strengths |
Weaknesses
|
- Well-rounded character, allowing him to adapt to nearly every situation.
- Incredible space control with his j.S and 236H, both of which cover full-screen and are safe on block.
- Exceptional support value with his assist, which is among the best for neutral control and combo extension.
- Useful buttons that are fast and safe on block, making him excellent at stagger pressure and resets.
- Versatile supers that deal considerable damage and are easy to combo into.
- 214L is an excellent anti-air option and can lead to extreme damage when he has the resources to burn (Sparking, Meter, etc.).
- One of the few characters with a meterless reversal. Can be used to challenge opponents.
|
- Poor footsies game due to having short range. He has to utilize high committal options to approach opponents.
- Assist isn't great during blockstrings, as it can be reflected through.
- All of his long-range tools can be superdashed through. Because of this, he is heavily reliant on reacting to superdash with 214L and j.214L.
