However with its extremely high damage and minimum damage, this Super acts as an '''Instant Kill''' that can only be used once Gogeta reaches Level 7. It can be combo'd from Smash 5H, U+ Smash 236M/j.236M, Smash 22S, 236S, 214S, Smash Vanish, Sparking Blast, and so on. It doesn't matter how you combo into it or how scaled the combo is (even with Super Scaling), it will always kill.

It is not all that hard to reach Level 7 in a real match. Even without his own A assist, Gogeta can easily rack up 3 to 4 Levels per combo with the right team. Once at Level 7, the threat of being IK'd is always there since it's so easy to combo into, and despite you can't DHC into IK, it's possible to tag Gogeta in midcombo and do something like Vanish > j.214H+S instead. It can IK the opponent's assists as well, but much less consistent.

5LL
5LLL

5L
  • Good range for a jab
  • Hits high enough to check opponents after a blocked superdash.

Standard speed 5L. Very nice for stagger pressure.


5LL
  • 5L > 5LL will get Reflected twice, pushing Gogeta back to full screen. But delaying 5LL will make it Reflect proof.

Insane button. Large, sweeping high hitbox that can catch opponents behind Gogeta too, which can then lead straight into his 5LLL. Since it's a 5LL, it is a medium unscaled starter. It can be low profiled by some 2L and 2Ms, but that's just about its only fault.


5LLL
  • Switches sides on hit.

Amazing anti-air. Extreme directional tracking allows it to easily snuff out aerial approaches and continue combos even when the 5LL launches high. Being unscaled too makes this an all-around great multi-purpose button. Although it still requires you to input 5LL beforehand, giving it technically high startup. On the bright side, it's still safe on block.

Its directional tracking is so wild that an aerial hit of 5LL, when positioned right beneath your opponent, allows the 5LLL to instantly side swap, where the follow up hit will then side swap again to keep the combo moving in the same direction. This, as you may expect, provides a massive amount of corner carry, functioning as a sold followup to vanish, such as after 236S.

  • Catches any jump except Superjump Back at round start.

Long range, high hitting 5M with fast startup. Being -5, you can also stagger with it. It will put you back at around the range you used it once it recovers, but you'll usually be in range to threaten with a 2M gatling or a 2L pressure reset. An overall excellent 5M, one of the best in the game along with Krillin, Adult Gohan and Kid Buu's.

Amazing as a roundstart option due to its speed, gatlings, and potential damage output. An easy roundstart with this move is 5M > 2H, as it gives you plenty of time to hitconfirm and either Superdash on hit or cancel into a special move on block for continued pressure.

6H
  • Jump cancelable on hit.
  • Late cancelable into followups. At minimum, 6H~6H has a 5f gap on block, while 6H~3H has an 11f gap.
  • High hitstun on air hit.

Very high hitting normal. Although unsafe on block, the threat of the followups will make opponents respect it. The followup chain is a big part of Gogeta's pressure, as he can do a lot here to either reset pressure or go for a mixup. Followups can be backdashed midscreen, so it's wise to use 5H to catch people attempting to do that. Gogeta's 214X moves will also catch backdash, but they're more risky to attempt if your opponent is ready for them.

Other than that, it can be good for extending Gogeta's blockstrings, or for his corner rejumps as 6H hits somewhat high, which allows him to convert off of his corner strings.


6H~6H
  • Ground bounces on hit, can be converted with H/S normals or specials.

Fast overhead, will automatically catch people attempting to mash out of the chain. Delaying the button can make it harder to react to this and 3H, but doing so leaves Gogeta wide open. Decent combo filler if you want to keep your opponent close to the ground for assists, but using this solo forces you to spend your Superdash earlier than 6H > jumpcancel does.


6H~3H
  • Launches on hit. Has very high hitstun that allow Gogeta to link into 2M.

Considerably slower than the overhead and leaves a large gap. Fortunately, it's very safe on block and has high hitstun. Being -2, it gives about the same situation as blocking a Vanish. Gogeta can either backdash to back off, cancel into a special or gatling into 5H, or simply restart his string.

  • Stands still and taunts. Gains level and cancelable into Vanish on frame 16. Gains 10% Ki gauge and cancelable into other actions on frame 33.
  • When canceled into, loses the first 6F of its animation, and can be cancelled earlier (Total 52 → 46, Level on 16 → 10, Meter on 33 → 27)
  • Each level gained adds a bit damage to Gogeta's next Super (~60 minimum damage)

Character defining. You can taunt in neutral, in blockstrings, and in combos. While the total animation is rather long, you can keep yourself safe by canceling into Vanish very early while still getting the Level. You also have a frame 4 counter and a DP to shut down the opponent's counterattack attempts. Don't be afraid to cash out on Supers either, since it's not hard to build Levels back up especially if you have assists to cover you.

In a blockstring, any M/H/S normals > 6S will leave an 11F window to counterattack (or a total 27F for them to react). If not overused, 6S can be used to reset string very efficiently. Mid-combo, it's possible to do ground normals > 6S > Vanish and get both the Level up and the wall bounce from Vanish.

Once at Level 7, Gogeta gains an Instant Kill Super, which is likely what you're aiming for with this. Read more about that here.

  • Tracks in front of Gogeta up until half-screen.
  • Combos into superdash in the corner and close by midscreen.
  • Can combo after j.H at certain heights.

Gogeta loses all of his momentum after using this in the air, bringing him to a dead halt. If you're not using it in a combo, it's best used to stop air-to-air attempts, but be careful as an expectant opponent can superdash preemptively and catch you wide open. It can also be used as a post-superdash option on characters with 2H normals slower than 13 frames.

Gogeta's lariat-style move. All versions have Ki Blast invulnerability during their startup. Weirdly enough, they also have very good scaling when used as combo starters.


236L
  • Travels 1/3 of the screen.

Mostly a roundstart option if you want to meme on someone, as 5M is generally a better choice. Also doubles as a movement tool in the air, but it's much more committal than simply airdashing.


236M
  • Travels 1/2 of the screen.
  • Wallbounces with Smash, giving a combo in the corner. Can also extend combos midscreen with an airdash if you're not too high.
  • Gives a mediocre sliding knockdown if U1 has been used and D1 has not.
  • Opponent can airtech if both Smashes have been used.

Gogeta's primary combo extender besides j.2H. Air version leads to a rejump on every character but Krillin midscreen and the ground version gives a full combo in the corner.


236H
  • Travels 1/2 of the screen.
  • Ground bounces with Smash, giving a combo anywhere.
  • Gives a bounce sliding knockdown if U1 has been used and D1 has not.
  • Opponent can airtech if both Smashes have been used.

6H-6H is a good way to follow this up after a delay. If your back is to the corner, you can instantly pin the opponent, 6H-6H 5H to 5S then superdash/assist. Midscreen, 6H-6H then 5S and SD/assist. Good get out of jail free card against projectile heavy characters with fantastic follow up potential, key of Gogeta's whole design.

All
  • Overhead.
  • Uses D Smash on hit.
  • All versions can be anti aired

214L
  • -2 on block, allowing for a safe backdash.
  • In the ballpark of +33 on most knockdowns, letting you SJ IAD j.H for a safejump.

Functions as an overhead mixup and combo ender. Use after j.H > j.S when you don't have smash for a knockdown.


214M
  • +2 on block, allowing for RPS midscreen and pressure in the corner.
  • In the ballpark of +55 on most knockdowns, giving you a similar setup to a Smash j.H.

A sometimes move due to its startup, but good to use nonetheless as it's +2 on block. It's also Gogeta's best okizeme ender if he still has D1 Smash available, usually in corner combos. You'll most likely use j.DR instead, but it's there nonetheless.


214H
  • +2 on block, allowing for RPS midscreen and pressure in the corner.

IAD j.214H can get Gogeta in from fullscreen and be +2 on block, but getting predictable will end up with you getting 2H'd. It's +2 like 214M and 24f startup like 214L, so using it to continue pressure isn't a bad idea.

  • Frame 4 counter.
  • Combos into superdash anywhere.
  • Will not counter Ki Blast and beams, but will invul through if timed correct.
  • Loses to command grabs and Dragon rush.
  • Combos into Gogeta's Instant Kill.

Excellent as a defensive tool. It's usable anytime that Gogeta is -2 or better, which is a wide range of opportunities in DBFZ. The most prominent of which are after a blocked 6M or an opponent's blocked vanish. Getting predictable with this move will get you killed, but it's great when unexpected.

While this move doesn't activate against beams, it does activate against any strike property attacks including Hit's Time Release. This move not activating on contact with beams can also be a blessing, as beams extend its active time and it can potentially catch a Vanish from there if your opponent doesn't recognize it.

  • Frame 1 reversal.
  • Gains a Dragon Ball upon usage.
  • Insane minimum damage with D1 Smash. 40%, or a free 480 damage at the end of your combo.
  • Unlike most DPs, hits the opponent into a colossal sliding knockdown. Solid oki or even Finish Sign for basically free.
  • Dragon Ball cycle is different than that of the Dynamic! property: Two-Star → Five-Star → Six-Star → Seven-Star → Four-Star → Three-Star → One-Star
    • This is actually the order in which the Shadow Dragons were killed.
    • The Dragon balls that appear also for a split second are the black star dragon balls, in reference to, well, the black star dragon balls.

Gogeta's omnidirectional reversal. Short range compared to other DPs. Technically a projectile, so moves like Z Broly 214S will completely invalidate it. If you still have your D1 property at the end of your combo, this makes for Gogeta's best okizeme ender. It's also his highest-damage move to tack on the end of a Combo DR before supers.

  • Minimum damage: 754 → 808 → 862 → 916 → 970 → 1024 → 1078 → 1154
  • Has Head property, making it vulnerable to 2H.
  • Tracks the entire screen.
  • Side switches on hit for ground version. Regains side for air version.
  • Ground version corner carries.

Tracks anywhere on the screen, but deals rather poor damage without levels. At Level 3 or so, it might actually be more worthwhile to use this than continue going for the Instant Kill as this becomes one of the most solidly damaging Level 1s in the game.

  • Minimum damage: 1654 → 1708 → 1762 → 1816 → 1870 → 1924 → 1978 → 2054
  • Adv. on hit: +44

Like most beam lvl3 supers, it's hard to get consistent pressure midscreen. The corner is a whole different story. Gogeta doesn't have access to a fast low, but he does have access to an easy fuzzy overhead thanks to his double airdash. After a lvl3 in the corner, [9]j.M (whiff) > j.M will leave you at the perfect height to either IAD j.LM or land 2M. On most characters, the IAD j.LM will be a true blockstring as well as a combo if the j.M connected. You're also free to go for a DR or 236S after the j.M for additional layers.

  • Minimum damage: 100%.

Not reliable as a reversal due to its slow startup and Gogeta leaping up making the beam whiff on crouching or small characters at close range. However with its extremely high damage and minimum damage, this Super acts as an Instant Kill that can only be used once Gogeta reaches Level 7. Unlike another Instant Kill in the game, this one has no drawbacks and can be combo'd into from Smash 5H, U+ Smash 236M/j.236M, Smash 22S, 236S, 214S, Smash Vanish, Sparking Blast, and so on. It doesn't matter how you combo into it or how scaled the combo is (even with Super Scaling), it will always kill. The beam is also multi-hit and stops applying damage right when the opponent is KO'd, so it won't give them 7 Ki gauges.

It is not all that hard to reach Level 7 in a real match. Even without his own A assist, Gogeta can easily rack up 3 to 4 Levels per combo with the right team. Once at Level 7, the threat of being IK'd is always there since it's so easy to combo into, and despite you can't DHC into IK, it's possible to tag Gogeta in midcombo and do something like Vanish > j.214H+S instead. It can IK the opponent's assists as well, but much less consistent.

As a side note, while you can IK off of any stray hit as long as you have enough meter, it's optimal to use your assists and push the combo as far as possible before ending with IK. The assists will regenerate immediately after the round transition, and you'd want to build extra meter for the next character.
