5LL 700 All 10 4 14 -2
5LLL 700 / 1000 All U3+ 12 3 21 -2

5L
  • Chains twice with 4L.
  • 6-frame startup, good to contest pressure with.

All things accounted for, this is a good jab. If there's a big enough delay between 5L and a follow-up 4L, you can make 6M plus on block to continue pressure.


5LL
  • Advances Vegeta forwards.
  • Vegeta's best combo starter.
  • -2 on block, *really* good for stagger pressure.

Blockstring, stagger, and combo tool like most other 5LL's in the game. Its frame advantage allows for a safe backdash during pressure, giving Vegeta safe ways to bait the opponent.


5LLL
  • Jails into vanish.
  • Always results in the cinematic.

Good to use in corner combos after your smash is used, but not much else. You have better combo and blockstring options. Can make an infinite blockstring in sparking with 5LLL > jc.2H > airdash j.LL

250×8 All 13 [1(9)] ×8 24 -2

  • Can be repeated up to eight times.
  • Frame advantage calculated on point-blank hit.
  • Becomes +3 on block if you use all 8 shots.

Amazing repeatable Ki Blast when it comes to the amount he can throw (8). You outclass a lot of other characters' Ki Blasts just by holding down the button. Because it's plus, you can attempt pressure resets with this move, but your options afterwards are far more limited. It's best to attempt a pressure reset with this if you can threaten with a late chain into 5H.

236L
  • Bounces off the opponent on hit or block.
  • Can cancel recovery into an air option such as double jump or air dash.
    • Gives Vegeta a high/low in the corner with [3] superjump float.

When covered with an assist, this can be an efficient mixup tool in the corner. Traditionally you'd need an assist with 38 frames or more to do a j.2H mixup, but not anymore thanks to 236L leaving Vegeta in superjump state. Floating down and towards the opponent lets his stubby 2L connect and makes his airdash mixup real.


236M
  • Wall bounces in the corner with Smash.
  • Combo extender.
  • Has niche uses in blockstrings with assists, but less versatile than 236L.

The M version of this move is 3 hits and the third hit will bounce in the corner. On block, the last hit crosses up behind the opponent. You can extend your combo off of this wall bounce by linking a normal. Most of this move's usage will be for combos as 236L is a better mixup tool.


236H
  • Passes through the opponent.
  • Launches the opponent directly upward in a tailspin.
  • Hold or tap 2 (down) on hit for hit stop to combo easier.

This is an improved version of the L version. It's fast and goes full screen, making it great for punishing an opponent trying to do something on the ground when they're on the other side of the screen. The H version will launch the opponent directly upward in a tailspin on hit so when you space it well (about fullscreen distance), you can easily juggle the opponent to get a full combo. Good as a movement tool too now that EX moves cost .5 bars.

j.214H 800,100×5,300 All D1 9 12 27 Full 1-11

214L
  • Frame 1 head invincibility.

One hit, does a single rising knee kick. Doesn't lead to much damage without resources, but what it does for Vegeta's neutral game is staggering. Vegeta is no longer a sitting duck to Superdash while he's in the air or throwing Ki Blasts because he can consistently pop it with j.214L.


214M
  • Vegeta's invincible reversal.
  • Second hit gives sliding knockdown.

Rising Knee Kick. On hit, Vegeta follows up with a downward kick to send the opponent back down to the ground. Fully invincible but quite slow, meaning it is quite easy to safejump. It's better used when challenging after an opponent is plus.


214H
  • Much faster than 214M.
  • Switches sides and gives a sliding knockdown.

EX version. The rising knee portion does more hits before knocking the opponent back down to the ground. Does a sliding knockdown and switches sides. Much faster than the meterless version but still is quite easy to safejump.

236S 100×16 All 9 [1(5)] ×15, 1 26 -7
j.236S 100×16 All 9 1(5), [1(4)1(5)]×7, 1 21

Both versions are similar enough that they have been condensed to one description.

  • Opponent can guard cancel superdash on block.
    • Doesn't sound that bad until you realize this is a special move and your only options are supers or vanish.
    • Mostly relegated to a combo tool because of the above point;
  • Amazing as a combo tool.

You should never be using this in neutral or blockstrings. This move is heavily unsafe in neutral and on block as it requires meter to make opponents respect it, and even if you use meter you do not get anything meaningful. What it is good at is adding damage to combos with assists. Using the ground or air version will depend on what assists you have, but Special Tagging in another character from either version gives a ton of hitstun to work with.

130×8 All 37 [1(4)]×8 69 +86

  • Good for hindering an opponent's approach in neutral.
  • One of the best assists to extend combos.
  • Can be super-dashed through and reflected even on block.

Super Vegeta's assist is the air version of his Consecutive Energy Blast special. The angle that it fires at makes it hard for your opponent to approach if they find themselves on the other side of it. Not good on block but extremely easy to convert into a combo. Also protects you from Vanish.

This assist is by far one of the most interesting and useful assists in the game. It's long active frames and angle of attack turns it into a projectile wall for its duration. While your opponent can still reflect it, you are distinctly still at the advantage on block at +20. It is also really easy to sniff out superdashes with 2H, as low-level players will try to use it to go through the assist.

180×6, 400 All 40 [20] 22 Total 126~177 +18 ~ +24 36-? Full

  • Invincible(!), can plow through level 3s.
  • Teleports on frame 22.
  • Vegeta stops his assault if the point character is hit, but not if they block.
  • Completely circumnavigates neutral if blocked while airborne.

Vegeta teleports to the opponent and DP's them in the face, possibly the most Vegeta thing he could do. The kick sends the opponent back to you to continue the combo. Good as a pre-emptive tool but generally poor on block. If your opponent happens to jump and block this assist, the blockstun is extended immensely.

  • Air H+S version will aim downwards and groundbounce opponents, setting up for DHCs.
  • Minimum damage: sideways: 814, downward: 770.

A great way to counter superdashes if his opponent is in sparking with low health, as all the damage will be done at once. With the new patch, it can now be used to bring opponents to the ground for DHCs. Some characters that can be Z Changed into from H+S Big Bang Attack include: Literally anyone with a beam super (you might want to delay it to increase damage if you're too high), Gotenks, 18, and many others. Feel free to experiment with your team!

  • Minimum damage: 83*20 (1660)
  • Slower than average, as well as below-average damage.
  • +42 on ground hit, but air version has less advantage the higher Vegeta is.

Vegeta's Level 3. Because the beam goes fullscreen and is air OK, it's fairly easy to combo into. Even when used high up in the air, there's enough plus frames to hold [9] when you land and have a meaty j.H waiting for your opponent. Vegeta can also go for a Superjump IAD mixup, which is more difficult but more rewarding and harder for your opponent to block.
