Overview

Named in honor of his father's adoptive grandfather, Son Gohan is the firstborn son of Goku. Even as a young child, Gohan possessed hidden reservoirs of power that he could tap into when his anger is stoked. Young Gohan abhorred violence, but always came to the aid of his father and their friends when the need arose, eventually becoming the first to attain the state of Super Saiyan 2 during his battle against the villainous android Cell.

In Dragon Ball FighterZ, the younger version of Gohan is a fast and powerful fighter who makes up for his lack of range with overwhelming strength that can subdue careless opponents quickly.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Some of the highest damage potential in the game, solo and extended.
  • A passive strength: Though the fact T. Gohan is small, hard to hit and cannot be fuzzied is a great asset.
  • One of few characters with unscaled (minimum damage proration) specials allowing for versatile approaches to high damage combos, including ToDs.
  • High meter gain, Gohan can spend meter to finish combos and still come out very positive (very strong battery).
  • High damage level 1 super and the strongest level 5 super.
  • Enough corner carry to end virtually any combo in the corner.
  • Deadly pressure with jL double overheads allowing for cross-ups and fuzzies.
  • Assisted 50/50's on demand with Lightning Legs.
  • Bardock's grandchild. Inherits the auto-combo and pseudo-lariat.
  • Builds on Bardock's techniques with a meterless reversal DP.
  • Most of his specials have incredibly high hitstun (retains hitstun at the end of long combos) allowing for combos that are generally not possible with other members of the cast.
  • Stubby limbs that equal short-ranged normals require strong spacing awareness in neutral.
  • No beam projectile or offensive air specials can make approaching very difficult, especially against characters with good full screen options.
  • Pressure relies heavily on speed and conditioning when assists are not available.
  • Situation specific combo structure has a profound learning curve.
  • Due to its angle of fire his level 1 super (Motionless Kamehameha) can be hard to use in specific instances, like Z-switching into it.
  • The more optimal combos generally do not lead into a sliding knockdown which can sometimes lead into an unfavourable situation (needs to use assist to mitigate this).

  • Leaping jump kick, decent forward moving anti-air.
  • On hit it props the opponent up in the air. Gohan can special and jump cancel into a variety of follow ups.
  • On block it can be cancelled into 5LLL, j5S, j2S, Lightning Legs, Super Dash, Vanish and Z-Change.
  • Gohan can perform a falling jL after the recovery. In the corner where 2L doesn't whiff it becomes a true high-low (bless Hiroki).
  • Leaves Gohan high enough after the recovery to air dash over crouching enemies and cross them up, except for big bodies.
  • Side switch auto-corrects.
  • Qualifies as an eSports normal.

  • Generic Ki blasts. The opponent can Super Dash through it and Reflect out of the block stun.
  • Fourth hit pops the opponent in the air in a backward trajectory.
  • Fast start up (11) makes it a good option for mid range pressure. The frame advantage becomes plus at ~40% screen distance.
  • 236X can be confirmed into from any of the Ki blasts at close to medium range.

  • Fast low attack. Very short range.
  • Will chain into itself, but because it pushes Gohan back if you are not very close or dashing forward the second 2L may whiff.
  • By micro-dashing it can be made effective for pressure despite its range.

  • Universal anti-air launcher with minimal range, invincible frame 4-17 to aerial attacks.
  • Small hitbox does cover both sides.
  • In blockstrings going from 5H to 2H often requires a small delay to prevent a whiff, including in the corner.
  • There is a sizable window where most low normals will whiff under Gohan.

  • A fast kick that covers roughly 40% of the screen.

DBFZ TeenGohan FiveHitCombo.png
  • Gohan's pseudo-lariat covering 90% of the screen (thanks granddad).

  • 236M knocks the opponent away and M followups will launch them horizontally resulting in a weak wallbounce.
  • M finisher sends the opponent in front of Gohan and will wallbounce if they reach the corner.
  • Builds 75% meter when completed.
    • With proper timing 236M(L-M-L-M) will carry an opponent almost corner to corner. At closer ranges you can air dash and Dragon Rush for a sliding knockdown.
    • If Smash has been spent you can still follow up an M finisher in the corner with jL, jM or j236L if the hitstun decay is intermediate.
    • 236M(L-L-L-L) will combo with j2S for a Super Dash follow up midscreen.
    • The first hit will combo with 5L or 5M at short or long range if Gohan travels into the corner.
  • Only safe on block from long range, at the edge its (-1).
  • Will cross over crouching opponents on block, except for big bodies.
  • Unscaled combo starter.

This version will side switch on hit if Gohan is pushing up against a small and crouching character outside the corner. Unlikely but be aware.

  • Gohan's anti-air DP, invincible frame 1-10 to aerial attacks.
  • Because of its anti-air invincibility and fast start up it can punish small gaps that 2H can't. For e.g. SSJ Vegeta's 236M-Vanish or Teen Gohan's 5LL-j236M.
  • Can only be super cancelled.

DBFZ TeenGohan SuperDragonFlight.png
  • A two-part DP attack, invincible frame 1-11.
  • If blocked or whiffed Gohan will not perform the uppercut but will still have to deal with a long recovery. Gohan also won't uppercut if Smash has already been used.
  • The first hit induces a uniquely prolonged stun state. The only way to make actual use of the stun is with a sparking empty Vanish.
  • On hit it can combo into level 1 and level 3 supers after landing.
  • Can only be super cancelled.
  • Highly scaled combo starter.

Assist

Super Dragon Flight
A1/A2
DBFZ TeenGohan SuperDragonFlight.png
"Daijoubu desu ka?"
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Gohan's 214M in Assist form, a DP on demand. Invincible frame 5-22.
  • Gohan will only appear a short distance in front of the active character.
  • The assist version has less hit stun, the opponent will recover right after reaching the apex of their trajectory.
  • Good for controlling vertical space and during aerial scrambles where the assist comes from out of view below.
  • Remember to keep blocking when calling it defensively, Gohan's invincibility doesn't shield your active character.

Supers

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Invincible frame 9-20.
  • Minimum damage: 91*10 (910).
  • Drags the opponent down during the beam making it possible to chain into supers that are low to the ground.
  • Last hit launches the opponent.

Gohan fires a Kamehameha diagonally upward. Because this can only be used at an angle and from the ground it requires specific paths to combo into.

Father-Son Kamehameha
  • Invincible frame 1-17.
  • Minimum damage: 87*20 (1740).
  • Good oki. Gohan can beat wake up 2H with a regular jump air attack.

Hits full screen and has good vertical reach as well. Slower start up (13) than average so be careful about using it as a reversal.

Full Power
Hold down any button on hit or clash
  • Minimum damage: 87*20, 55*20 (2840).
  • Not efficient but good for finishing opponents.
  • Will defeat level 3 projectile supers in clashes.
  • Weak oki. Gohan can maintain pressure at close range but nothing more.

By spending 2 additional Ki Gauges you get an extension where Gohan unleashes all his power just like in the anime. Allows you to finish characters that you otherwise couldn't making it a valuable team and solo asset.
