Overview

"I have to get stronger if I want to protect what's truly important to me."
Lore:	After the battle with Cell, Son Gohan/Sun Wufan grew into a kind young man and a brilliant scholar, happily married to his high school sweetheart Videl Satan (the daughter of Mr. Satan), with a young daughter named Pan. Even though he does not train with the same fervor and passion as Goku and Vegeta, his hidden potential (after being released by the Elder Supreme Kai) still remains; when it comes to blows, Gohan can still fight with the best of them.
Voice:	Japanese: Masako Nozawa English: Kyle Herbert

Potential Unleashed

Every time Potential Unleashed is used, Gohan levels up, giving him improved abilities and damage. Gohan begins every match at Level 0, and can gain up to 7 levels. Potential Unleashed bonuses remain for the rest of the match.

Playstyle

 Adult Gohan  Adult Gohan is a crafty, pressure-style character who powers-up to create an overwhelming presence that smothers his opponents.

Pros

Cons

• Great Buttons: Fast and long range normals, especially his mediums that enable big punishes often.
• Long Blockstrings: Blockstrings can be extended with 3L and Machine Gun Kick, enough to recharge assists.
• Extremely Solid Pressure: 5L and j.L can threaten a 50/50 after j.236H with an assist, and 2L is a unique +0 button that can both stagger and start a frametrap.
• Fast-Fall: j.2S is a blinding Fast-Fall that amplifies his mix-up game and enables grounded assist extensions.
• Reversal: Jet Uppercut is a DP, in a game where meterless reversals are few and far between.
• High Solo Damage: Combos using j.236M/L and j.214H give him some of the highest solo damage available.
• Assist Variety: A is the fastest hitting DP assist, and B gives high blockstun with ample time to hit confirm.

• Potential Unleashed: Level 1 Super has low damage, and the short range can make it whiff on certain DHCs.
• Know How Levels Work: Need to be cognizant of the changes Adult Gohan gets when he levels up.
• The Need to Level-up: Although unlikely, if Adult Gohan somehow cannot level-up, he misses out on some pressure, combo, and neutral tools.

Normal Moves

5L (Level 0)

5L Level 0 Mix-up City	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 5L Really short range. First hit has small hitbox. One of the best 5Ls in the game due to it's fast startup and non-suspecting low-hit property. Everyone has gotten hit with this move. 5LL Mostly combo filler. 5LLL Counts as grounded. Smash hit can link to j.L.

5L (Level 1+)

5L Level 1+ File:DBFZ AdultGohan Potential5LL.png File:DBFZ AdultGohan Potential5LLL.png File:DBFZ AdultGohan Potential5LLLL.png File:DBFZ AdultGohan Potential5LLLLL.png Your entire blockstring

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 5L 5LL Equivalent to 5M. Level 7: If 5M has already been used in a string, autocombo reverts back to level 0 version. Does less damage and has worse scaling than the move it copies. Unlike the rest of Gohan's auto combo variants, this version of 5M doesn't do anything that the original version couldn't do, so this move should only be used as a stepping stone for 5LLL and 5LLLL. 5LLL Equivalent to 3H, though doesn't have Head invul. Lauches on hit. Level 7: If 3H has already been used in a string, this attack will not come out and the autocombo ends at 5LL. If 5LLL has been used, 3H cannot be used in the same string. 5LLLL Can be used to reset pressure due to it having the same frame advantage as 2L. Unlike Gohan's other autocombo normals, 5LLLL and 2L can be used in the same string, giving him fantastic pressure capabilities. 5LLLLL Launches higher than Level 0 5LLL.

5M

5M

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Fantastic range. Large normal that covers an extraordinary amount of space relative to how fast the startup is, and is an amazing whiff-punish. The range can also be a downside as it's pretty punishable if Adult Gohan whiffs himself. Unlike most of the cast who preserve their 5M to allow jump cancels from 2M, Gohan can use this move much more liberally as 3H is also jump cancelable.

5H

5H	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Wall bounces on Smash hit Mostly used for Level 1 leg loops in the corner, though the leg loops using this move takes up the smash property, and must have assists or vanish to end in a sliding knockdown.

5S

5S Talk to the hand.	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Covers about 90% of the screen. Launches on hit. Whiffs against crouching opponents. Doesn't have Ki Blast property. Hits a lot higher than you'd expect. Used in corner combos and to start Leg Loops.

2L

2L #saiyanprivilege	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Fairly disjointed hitbox. The only +0 button in the game that can be true-stringed into from the ground. Far reaching and being +0 encourages strong stagger pressure. Along with the fair pushback, it has the ability to potentially make his mediums frametrap for big punishes.

2M

2M	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Slides forward about half-screen. Launches on hit. Can punish backdash and link into 5M or 3H. Will often put you right back on the opponent on reflect.

2H

2H	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Smash hit launches higher with more hitstun. Puts Gohan in the air, true blockstring into j.236X.

2S

2S Jump back air fireball, pseudo-Akuma/Gouki style.	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Pulls back and fires a Ki blast. Useful to disengage and return to neutral, although locks Adult Gohan in place for a while and can lose bad to an instant superdash. Use it only when your opponent won't anticipate it. Has enough hitstun to combo into SD in the corner for the Leg Loops version that saves the smash property and results into a Sliding Knockdown.

6M

6M File:DBFZ AdultGohan 6M.png	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Universal overhead. Uses the same animation and hitbox/hurtbox as j.H. Can be made plus by delaying Level 1 autocombo.

3L

3L Machine Gun Punch File:DBFZ AdultGohan 3L.png 欧拉欧拉欧拉欧拉	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 3L 3[L] Available at Level 1 Potential Unleashed. Holding L adds extra hits. Good blockstring filler, great stagger/pressure reset tool with being -2 on block and can be shortened/extended. Is also a good meaty against a delay tech. Scales subsequent damage pretty bad after a light starter in an actual combo.

3H

3H Ultimate High Kick I meant to do 2H but ok

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Launches on hit. Jump cancellable on hit. Extremely handy combo filler while possessing an abnormally high angle. Decent hitstun and jump cancellable means this is basically a second, better 5M for combo purposes. This is also an anti-air, and can be used in the place of 2H, but must be ready to combo after landing the move, as there isn't ample time to hit-confirm before the opponent techs out.

j.L

j.L	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Bad horizontal range but great vertical range. Go-to overhead normal. Will whiff after a j.M if it didn't hit near the body.

j.M

j.M	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Great air-to-air normal.

j.H

j.H	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 5LLLLLLL Causes a wall bounce on Smash hit. j.H Causes a sliding knockdown on Smash hit. Can be cancelled into j.2S fastfall on hit, giving Gohan extra time to set-up. While sending the enemy down, it can combo into j.236L with the right positioning. This is the core idea of his leg loops.

j.S

j.S File:DBFZ AdultGohan jS.png	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Air 2S. Similar to the ground version, it can also combo into SD and Ultimate Back Attack.

j.2H

j.2H File:DBFZ AdultGohan j2H.png	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Smash hit launches higher with more hitstun. One of the fastest j.2H's in the game, allowing your combos to be just a hair longer due to less Hitstun Decay. Can be linked into off of Potential Unleashed Level 1 Medium Machine Gun Kick in some combos, allowing for a slide knockdown with Ultimate Back Attack.

j.2S

j.2S We Smash Bros now

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Fall straight to the ground. Cancellable to 2S. Mix-up potential with resources. Can be used after j.H in the corner for a tiny bit more oki time, and also help with assist extensions on the ground like beams post j.H. Not too strong as a standalone mix-up tool since it's reactable, but gives another layer to Gohan's already strong pressure, especially if your opponent is respecting said pressure. You can also DP right after if you know your opponent is going to react with buttons.

Special Moves

Jet Uppercut

Jet Uppercut 236L/M/H Half screen DP

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ L Anti-air DP. Unscaled starter. M (Level 0) M (Level 1+) Smash on first hit. Potential Unleashed extra hits only apply on Smash hit. Level 0 takes a tiny step forward. Level 1+ slides half screen forward. On block, the safest options are cancelling into Lv1 > DHC, or Spark. Panic Vanishing can be 2H'd easily. H (Level 0) H (Level 1+) Almost identical to M version with slightly more damage, startup, and range. Can link into Level 1 or 3 Super after landing.

Machine Gun Kick

Machine Gun Kick j.236L/M/H lööps

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ L (Level 0) L (Level 1+) Upon using, Adult Gohan immediately starts falling down. Hold L/M/H to kick indefinitely until landing. Minimum 3 kicks. Carries all and any momentum. Keeps grounded opponent standing. Depending on the height, Adult Gohan will do an extra kick before landing. Is the "leg" in leg loops. M (Level 0) M (Level 1+) Upon using, Adult Gohan stalls a bit before falling down. Hold L/M/H to kick indefinitely until landing. Minimum 3 kicks. Always moves Adult Gohan forward, holding 4 and 6 can shorten or lengthen the distance respectively. Launches on hit. Depending on the height, Adult Gohan will do an extra kick before landing. Primarily used to add a bit more damage/meter in bnb combos. H (Level 0) H (Level 1+) Upon using, Adult Gohan jumps up a bit before falling down. Always moves Adult Gohan forward, holding 4 and 6 can shorten or lengthen the distance respectively. Performs 10 (19) kicks until he touches the opponent, at which point he will do it again, ensuring that the damage is always the same. Smash on the last hit. Smash hit causes a wall bounce. Can link into superdash, snapback, or even Level 0 j.214M from midscreen. On block, Adult Gohan won't fall to the ground. Afterward he has enough time to sneak in a j.L, thought this can be 2H'd. Extremely active, very good against Super Dash and Raw Tag. Since you can control the momentum, you can bait out anti-air attempts by temporarily disengaging with an aerial backdash, then closing in with j.236H to get the punish. Also eating a raw j.236H equals to losing 40% of your HP at minimum, if Adult Gohan still has his aerial jump or superdash.

Ultimate Back Attack

Ultimate Back Attack 214L/M/H (Air OK) Back to the ground son!

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Ground L (Level 0) Ground L (Level 1+) Air L (Level 0) Air L (Level 1+) Smash hit causes a sliding knockdown. Level 0: Hops almost half screen. Ground version never crosses-up, air version cross up if Gohan leaps over the opponent. Level 1: Teleports to opponent and always hits in front of them. At Level 0, he can do j.S > j.214L in the corner. After leveling up, j.2H > j.214L gets Adult Gohan a sliding knockdown anywhere. Ground M (Level 0) Ground M (Level 1+) Air M (Level 0) Air M (Level 1+) Smash hit causes a sliding knockdown. Level 0: Hops over half screen. Can cross up if Gohan leaps over the opponent. Level 1: Teleports to opponent and always hits behind them. Can't steal the corner. Strong overhead at Level 1, and switches sides anywhere outside of the corner. Ground H (Level 0) Ground H (Level 1+) Air H (Level 0) Air H (Level 1+) Smash hit causes a ground bounce sliding knockdown. Level 0: Hops almost full screen. Can cross up if Gohan leaps over the opponent. Level 1: Teleports to opponent and always hits behind them. Can't steal the corner. j.S > j.214H allows Gohan to level up anywhere on the screen. The ground bounce can also be extended with assist even in midscreen.

Masenko

Masenko 236S Why doesn't Piccolo have this beam again?	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Level 0 Level 1+ Even at Level 1+, it will still cancel out with typical 5-hit beams. Used for corner combo with assists.

Z Assists

Assist A

Jet Uppercut Assist A File:DBFZ AdultGohan AssistJetUpper.png So good that it got nerfed	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Receives the damage buff from Potential Unleashed. Head invul. It's the fastest assist in the game.

Assist B

Machine Gun Punch Assist B File:DBFZ AdultGohan 3L.png	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Decent startup. High blockstun. Good blockstring assist and easy to hit confirm.

Assist C

Masenko Assist C They really did it.	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ It's a beam assist. Go wild.

Super Moves

Potential Unleashed

Potential Unleashed 236L+M or 236H+S ESSENCE OF A SUPER SAIYAN

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Level 6 Level 7 H+S version can be held to stack up to 7 Ki Gauges, but L+M version only ever consumes 1 Ki Gauge. Meaning you can't DHC into Gohan and dump bars. Damage bonus from Potential Unleashed is applied to this super during the freeze as Gohan reaches the next level(s). Each bar adds 250 more to the base damage. Minimum damage: 20%. Is not affected by the damage buff per level. Because of the short recovery, Adult Gohan can possibly combo post-super, or even set up solid oki with help. More notably, it can be used to DHC into from other supers that are still active. For example, Potential Unleashed lets Adult Gohan recover fast enough to set up for safejump 50/50s if he DHCs in during an ongoing level 1, like Kid Buu's Pearl Flash, Vegeta's Galick Gun, or Jiren's Colossal Slash. Important note, he must DHC in right at the moment when the other character's super had just been activated to enable follow-ups.

Bros. Kamehameha

Bros. Kamehameha 214L+M or 214H+S "You came to the wrong neighborhood fool"

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Minimum damage: 70*24 (1680). Hitbox can increase/decrease depending on who is on the team, but damage stays the same. Leaving Adult Gohan pretty close to the opponent and being around +40 after hit, you can go for Superjump > IAD > High/Low for a relatively ambiguous 50/50 mix. (Mostly Cosmetic): If Gotenks is on his team, Gohan will perform it solo. If Gotenks is not on his team, Goten will come out to help. If Gotenks is not on his team, and SS Goku is on his team and is not on screen from an assist or Ultimate Z Change, Goku will come out to help. If Gohan swaps bodies with Ginyu, he will only ever do the solo version.
