DBFZ/Tier Lists

Stop! Read me first!
The tier lists on this page are subjective in nature, and are the products of their individual authors. You can only trust a tier list as much as you trust its author.
Tier lists reflect the understanding on relative character strength at the time that they are written. Metas can develop and characters can change after a tier list is made.
Tier lists usually do not account for character difficulty, but that can sometimes be a factor depending on the author.
Depending on your goals and how competitive you are, tier lists may or may not be entirely irrelevant.

Dustloop Aggregate List

Last Update: 02/03/2023.

Android 21 (Lab Coat) and Vegito (SSGSS) are considered the best characters in the game at 16 points.
Gotenks is considered the worst character in the game at -2 points.


Characters received points based on placements in other Version 1.31 lists currently featured on this page. +3 for appearing in a "top tier" or SS tier. +2 for appearing in S tier +1 for appearing in A tier ±0 for appearing in B tier -1 for appearing in C tier and below. This includes the "N/A" category. Tier categories with + or -'s are ignored, so an S+ tier is just an S tier. For Cloud805's list, Adult Gohan (who is in different tiers based on his level of Potential Unleashed) and Captain Ginyu (who is in a tier of his own between S and A+) are counted as S tier. The average post-June 2022 tier list in this page has 2 or 3 legible tier categories, plus additional spaces for top and bottom characters.
