Overview

Teen Gohan

"I don't really like to fight, but sometimes victory is the only option!"

Lore:

Named in honor of his father's adoptive grandfather, Son Gohan/Sun Wufan 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. (Name trivia: Name is a pun on the Japanese word "Gohan", meaning "rice", or a general term for food.)

Playstyle
Teen Gohan is a defensive fighter who makes up for his lack of range with explosive damage output and oppressive mix-ups that can subdue careless opponents quickly.
Pros	Cons
Some of the highest damage potential in the game. Flying Kick is a fantastic special move that's great in combos and can create 50/50s on demand when paired with an assist. Super Dragon Flight is both a great anti-air and an invulnerable move for escaping pressure. Amazing left-right mixup. Great grounded ki-blasts. Very high meter gain. Very good corner carry due to bomb loop combos. Assist A is good for vertical neutral control, Assist B is good for combos and baiting super dash, and Assist C is also good for combos and lockdown when blocked. Arguably has the best auto combo in the game. Supers are among the highest damaging in the game.	Stubby limbs that equal short-ranged normals require strong spacing awareness in neutral. Lacks a beam property move. Limited offensive options in the air. Optimal combo routes don't end in sliding knockdown without spending extra resources. Needs assists to function well: combo routes, 50/50s, and neutral.

Normal Moves

5L

5L O M N I D I R E C T I O N A L T R A C K I N G

Version Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Invul 5L 400 All - 6 3 12 -3 - Advances forward. Good reach for a 5L, will catch opponents after a blocked superdash. 5LL 700 All - 9 3 17+10L -4 - Launches on hit. Recovers in the air. Leaves Gohan high enough after the recovery to airdash over most crouching characters and cross them up. 5LLL 1000 All U3+ 13 4 Until L+3 -5 - Tracks vertically to almost super jump height and has long horizontal range. On hit, can sides switch midscreen by delaying followups. Has head property. Teen Gohan's infamous autocombo. This is a very useful tool in neutral, as delaying the hits will allow Gohan to float up further and catch opponents. Typically crosses up opponents trying to IAD over Gohan as well. If blocked in the air, 236L will lock the opponent and follow them all the way down to the ground. Gohan is plus and can continue a string after this. If blocked on the ground, Gohan can go straight into 236M or 236H for pressure.

5M

5M	Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Invul 700 All - 9 3 17 -3 - The shortest reaching 5M in the game but also has pretty good frame advantage. Great for stagger pressure and hit confirms.

5H

5H	Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Invul 850 All U1 15 6 18 -8 - Standard 5H.

5S

5S	Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Invul 300*4 All - 11 - 25 -4 - Hold or mash S to shoot all 4 Ki blasts. Fourth hit launches.

2L

2L	Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Invul 400 Low - 7 3 13 -4 - Very short range.

2M

2M	Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Invul 700 Low - 11 12 12 -8 - A slide with below average range and speed compared to other slides. The range is increased considerably when performed from a dash, including micro-dashes. Long active frames make this a great meaty.

2H

2H "SHORYUKEN!!"	Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Invul 850 All U1+ 15 3 22+8L -17 4-17 Head Airborne 2H. Depending on the angle, the followup Super Dash can switch sides.

2S2

2S This is where the fun begins

Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Invul 600, 700 All - 32 - 20+6L - - Ki blast that explodes only when it touches the ground. The explosion also has Ki blast property. Ki blast on the way down keeps grounded opponent standing, ground bounces airborne opponent. Explosion always launches. [2]S leaps backward, 2S and 3S leap forward. Leaps keep all momentum if Gohan is also moving in the same direction. Recovers in the air. The directional input is what controls which way he moves. So if you tap 2 but hold S, he still moves forward. His j.2S also has similar quirk but with different directional inputs. Most combo notations use 1S to refer to backward leap, and 3S for forward leap.

6M

6M	Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Invul 850 High - 24 6 4+6L 0 - Universal overhead with short reach.

j.L

j.L	Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Invul 400 High - 6 3 - - - Mini sword normal. The hitbox extends well past the hurtbox and is placed low. Good for double overheads, fuzzies and cross-ups. Decent air-to-air with forward momentum.

j.M

j.M	Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Invul 700 High - 9 3 - - - Range and active frames typical of a j.L rather than a j.M. The hitbox extends lower than the visual would suggest.

j.H

j.H	Version Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Invul 5LLLLLLL 850 / 1000 High D2+ 13 3 - - - Smash hit wall bounces. j.H 850 / 1000 High D1+ 13 3 - - - Smash hit causes sliding knockdown. The low reaching hitbox makes it a good button for air-to-ground, but it is difficult to use in cross ups or air-to-air.

j.S

j.S	Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Invul 400*4 All - 13 - +5L - - Hold or mash S to shoot all 4 Ki blasts. Fourth hit launches on hit.

j.2H

j.2H	Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Invul 850 All U1+ 11 3 - - - Typical air launcher. Stops all air momentum and raises Gohan up and forward slightly.

j.2S

j.2S	Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Invul 600, 700 All - 20 - +6L - - 2S but in the air. j.[1]S leaps backward, j.1S and j.2S leap forward. j.S > j.2[S] will cause Gohan to kara cancel his next j.S with j.2S, the tiny momentum difference between a normal j.2S and a j.2S kara cancelled from j.S enables some advanced combos that would otherwise be impossible.

On hit, recovers in the air. Smash hit causes a big wall bounce. Removes all other added landing recovery. Plus on block, but j.236H > j.L can still be 2H'd.
