Overview

"If you tease Mr. Satan, Buu punish you!"

Lore:

Majin Buu is an ancient creature who brought the universe to its knees before being sealed away on Earth, only to be unleashed by the wicked wizard Babidi. While highly dangerous, Buu was also as innocent as a newborn baby, a fact that Mr. Satan used to help reform him and transform him into a protector of Earth who is friendly to all around him, especially if they come to him with gifts of candy.

 Majin Buu  Majin Buu is a setplay monster, with an extremely potent mixup game thanks to standing resets off of fat throw, an extremely oppressive corner game, and amazing keep-out with his large air normals and great anti-airs.

Pros

Cons

• Amazing Mixups: standing overhead (5M) that can be comboed off of meterless. Can fuzzy every character in the game (even GT Goku). Great normals, big hitboxes.
• Healing: Level 3 restores up to 1500 blue life, giving Buu solid regeneration without Sparking.
• Incredibly Versitile: decently useful assists. Friendly to various playstyles (zoning, pressure heavy, mixup heavy, etc.). Some of the better neutral in the game.
• Slowest falling speed in the game (floats the longest).

• Meter Reliant: Spends a bit of meter for mixup (EX Buttslam is your primary mixup tool). Doesn't build much meter without his corner loop, and doesn't have midscreen Sparking loops.
• Assist Reliant: can't get his signature mixups by himself anymore.
• Unorthodox Character: normals have abnormal hitboxes and it's sometimes hard to work with them. Abnormal combo path, optimals require some extra execution. One of the most unorthodox characters in the game means a high learning curve, and some setups are frame perfect.

Majin Buu

Normal Moves

5L

5L "Gimme your candy!"	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 5L Whiffs on crouching small characters at the tip of the punch. 5LL Standing low that can be cancelled into 2M or 5M, making this a useful part of Buu's mixups. 5LLL Cancelling into this from a blocked 5LL always leaves the opponent in too much blockstun for the throw to work. Can be used for tickthrow setups with assists or from Fat Throw resets.

5M

5M	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ On hit, ground bounces airborne opponent. Slow and heavily scaled starter. Stronger than 6M in that it gives Buu a full combo on raw hit, but that's about it.

5H

5H Majin on Ice	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Hits from roundstart position.

5S

5S	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Can be repeated up to four times.

2L

2L	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ It's a fast low.

2M

2M	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Vacuums on block and hit. Has enough hitstun to combo into 5M and 6M.

2H

2H	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Standard anti-air button.

2S

2S	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ An angled upward Ki Blast. Very high hitstun similar to SS Goku 2S. Useful more in combos than neutral due to it's incredibly high hitstun. Something like 2M > 5M > 2S can link to 5L into the standard jump cancel combo.

6M

6M File:DBFZ MajinBuu 6M.png He'll get that damn bug	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Universal overhead.

j.L

j.L	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Good air-to-air jab.

j.M

j.M CLAPPER	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Good jump-in button due to how big it is.

j.H

j.H AND HERE COMES THE GIANT FIST	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ A half screen overhead. This move and j.2H are the staples in Buu's moveset with gigantic hitboxes, allowing him to control the air very effectively.

j.S

j.S *various ape noises*	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Can be repeated up to four times. Each have different angles. Good zoning tool thanks to the wide range the Ki Blasts can cover.

j.2H

j.2H Doriyah!	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Screen control punch that gives you an easy confirm with SD. Just spam this and j.H really.

Special Moves

Dive Bomb

Dive Bomb 236L/M/H (Air OK) This gets better the longer you think about it

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Ground versions have a rising initial hit. If the buttslam is blocked, the ground splash won't come out. Smash on the buttslam. D Smash causes sliding knockdown, non-Smash ground bounces. Ground L Air L Goes a short distance forward. Air version can be combo'd into in the corner using j.[S] > j.236L, allowing for easy conversion into SKD. Can also create frame advantage on block if you TK it. Ground M Air M Goes about half screen forward. Decent range for an overhead. Due to how far it travels, it can leap over the opponent and hit them with the backside ground splash as a crossup. While IAD j.M > j.L > j.236L is a triple overhead, IAD j.M > j.236M will be a crossup. Ground H Air H Tracks the opponent and travels almost fullscreen. If the Fat Throw hasn't landed in the combo, Smash hit will automatically do Fat Throw. A fairly fast 3/4 screen tracking overhead. This move is good to throw out from time to time when your opponent isn't expecting it. It can also go over beams, so if you have the read, throw it out in neutral to get some damage + pressure. Can be 2H'd if the opponent starts to guess you. Air version can be combo'd into everywhere on screen with j.[S] > j.236H. Allowing for a half bar Fat Throw reset.

Cartwheel

Cartwheel 214L/M/H (Air OK) The OTHER j.2H

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Flips backward and leaves Buu airborne. Only has hitbox in front of Buu. Smash hit wall bounces. With varying amount of bounce depending on versions. Ground L Air L Short flip with small wallbounce. Used in corner combos and as a mostly safe blockstring ender. Ground M Air M Longer flip. Smash hit puts the opponent high up into a big wallbounce. j.214M is an alternative to j.2H in midscreen combos, as you can SD after the wallbounce and get SKD from j.H this way. In a blockstring, 214M will always leave a gap when canceled from other normals, useful for frame traps as the opponent cannot mash out of it. Ground H Air H Long flip then bounces forward. Ground Smash hit is a big wallbounce, air Smash hit is similar to j.214L but with higher hitstun. Ground version is useful for blockstring mixups or as a stronger anti-air than 2H. In midscreen, IAD j.214H is a very fast crossup that allows for easy conversion with land 2M.

Sweeping Breath

Sweeping Breath 236S (Air OK) I'M UGLY AND I'M PROUD.	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Ground Air Hits about halfscreen. Useful for stuffing SD in the air. Can also be used to make your offense safe midscreen.

Fat Throw

Fat Throw 214S I hope you like guessing

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Tracks the opponent but has maximum height it can go. Disappears mid throw if Buu gets hit. On hit, holds the opponent in a fat shell for a set amount of time while letting them fall to the ground. This shell can also be broken by hitting them out of it, and won't auto-break if Buu gets hit or tags out. If the shell naturally breaks, the opponent is airborne and can air-tech nigh instantly. If the shell is hit, they stay grounded. The capture only works once per combo. As long as the opponent is still being caught, Buu can't do another Fat Throw. On a raw hit, Buu gets a braindead full combo confirm, plain and simple. What's really interesting about this move is hitting it mid-combo. You can combo into this after L/M Dive Bomb + high hitstun assist, or from simply doing H Dive Bomb. Afterward, you wanna break the shell with something that leaves them standing while at the same time going for a high/low/left/right/tickthrow mixup, you name it. Buu has a lot of time for whatever setups he wants, and he doesn't have to deal with all the ground tech nonsense akin to a hard knockdown. Usually this is achieved by calling an assist like Yamcha A while Buu's doing his own thing. As a combo extender, you can always meaty j.DR when the shell breaks on its own and get a SKD.

Z Assists

Assist A

Sweeping Breath Assist A	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Decent pop up assist.

Assist B

Fat Throw Assist B Communism	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Different than the point version that it holds the opponent in the air instead. Doesn't allow for much mixups if any at all, but is a very unique combo assist.

Assist C

Cartwheel Assist C	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Does not have anti air property and has little blockstun. Likely his least useful assist.

Super Moves

Now Buu really...hate you!

Now Buu really...hate you! 236L+M or 236H+S Heated gaming moment Boogie2988 gone nuclear	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Hits the entire screen. Minimum damage: 42*19. Incredibly easy to DHC into, and just as easy to DHC out of. Does fairly standard damage for a level 1. Overall, this is a pretty good super.

Turn into candy!

Turn into candy! 214L+M or 214H+S Me gonna eat you up!	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Heals to 1500 blue health on hit. Minimum damage: 1605. Can be an unreliable reversal due to the small hitbox and slow travel time. The "beam" also only has hitbox at the tip.
