Poisoned by Frost, let someone else handle it. Beaten by Black, let someone else handle it. Beaten by Jiren on multiple occasions; mastered his random power-up after everyone had their asses beat. DBS Goku is breaking records.
This is why fighterZ is so cool. Unlike in other DB games were multiple Goku’s played almost the same, this game has 5 different Goku’s and yet each HS their own play style. Hope to see this Goku used in tournaments soon 👍
Which is why I want Super Saiyan 4 Goku in this game. Imagine guys, a freaking Dragon Fist as his level 3 move. Super Saiyan 4 Goku will have the most amazing moveset if he was in this game. But obviously we won't get it, I mean no matter how cool FighterZ did their multiple version of the same character, fans will be mad if another Goku was added.
No you don't. Do the first three moves of his auto combo then charge it. You'll have plenty of time to reach max charge while they're bouncing off the far wall.
Man that special of the upward fireballs and then the downward kick from above looks marvelous. The adaptation of that series of attacks from the anime to the game was done so beautifully and accurately... I commend Arcsys for that.
I would assume so. Everything in this game can be refected except dragon rush. If you are talking about the Super Spirit Bomb (lv.3 super) I wouldn't take the risk. Reflecting that is pretty hard since you don't know when it will land, and it does A LOT of chip dmg. What I would do is just wait for the bomb to get closer to the ground and away from Goku. Once that happens, just vanish; if you vanish right when the Spirit bomb is launched, you will get caught up in the bomb and take a fuck ton of dmg
You can land his grab from the kaioken in a corner. If you doing combos you can do the hits that you want and then you gotta do the special which is that ki blast wave and then the heavy and it connects
An Explosion yea do goku’s BnB into his L smash punch and so his instant kamehameha and as soon as goku appears for the blast do base goku’s spirit bomb It works so well that sometimes I just throw it out to look at it. Once you get real good with it you can use goku’s double super kamehameha combo into spirit bomb for max damage
An Explosion I use kid buu as my starter I basically use him to build meter for ssj goku then when buu falls I go hard with goku to ensure I take out as much of the enemy team as possible and when I know ssj goku is gonna go down I stop using meter and build up to 7 then let him fall. Base goku comes out and I spark and go in with the kiaoken setups to end the match with all my meter. That game plan usually works for all opponents but when I’m outmatched in skill I mix it up and swap kid buu for goku starting out eliminating my kamehameha spirit bomb combo but allowing me to use kid buu mid Match for pressure and using ssj goku at the start to really put a dent in my opponents team
I tend to swap between Ssj Goku and Adult Gohan to spread out the damage between them (Because they heal when not being used, of course.) I also occasionaly pull Baseku out if they are both healing.
As a base Goku main, his super spirit bomb is an absolute last resort or if I can get the kill by combing kefla's level one into goku's level 3. But he's definitely one of if not the best anchor in the game.
Super Spirit Bomb is really situational. I also found that you can trick inexperienced players to teleport behind you if you randomly trigger Super Spirit Bomb. If they do it right away, you have a guaranteed hit. Finally you can fire the SSB during someone's level 3 attack, say Vegito, Vegeta SSJ or Blue. If you notice them activating that, then if you make the move in time Goku will teleport way above them and smash their asses with SSB.
I can already see it 5 months from now " Hello and welcome to another Dragon Ball Fighterz video and today Tgnanime will be doing a breakdown for Kid Goku!" "Unlike his older forms one thing to note about Kid Goku is that what he lacks in height he makes up for in mixups. Kid Goku has no ki blast when pressing The special button but does use his trusty power pole which is a great zoning option. His lows and mid hits are similar to his adult forms and his overhead uses the power pole again mean it has chance to hit slight mid air foes. Moving on by pressing quarter circle forward and special Goku will use kamehameha, sadly he can't direction it like his adult form, maybe he hasn't learned angels yet. Pressing quarter circle forward and the attack buttons we move on to his gimmick know as the Jaken Fist or "Rock Paper scissors" pressing quarter circle forward Light has him use Rock, a fast striking attack with no knock down, the mid version is interesting in the sense the Goku will use Sissors, this causes Goku to do and upward strike causing the opponent to fly upward. The reason for this is ideally to match with Goku's down special know as Power Pole Slam. This attack has Goku knock the opponent forward if the are in mid air. The closer to the tip of the power pole the harder the knock down. And finally quarter circle forward Heavy, Goku does Paper, a forward strike that just as fast as Rock and provides a wall bounce. Moving on to Supers Goku has 3 of them, 2 level 1's and a level 3. The first one is the Super Kamehameha, pressing quarter circle forward and the right bumper Goku will launch a blast straight forward. The move is intresteing in the sense it's much like SS Goku's. Kid Goku has two versions of this attack. By pressing quarter circle forward and the right trigger, instead of shoring the blast, Goku will use the blast to launch himself forward for a charging punch. The difference between the two is that when launching a beam Goku's chest with face the camera, while the punch version has his left shoulder facing the camera. His second level can only be performed in mid air and it called "Nimbus" While in air Goku rides on the nimbus hitting the opponent multiple times in mid air. While attacking you can control Goku's direction much like Yamcha spirit ball but be careful, when move is over Goku is in a landing pose making him wide open if you places him in the wrong direction, so it will take some practice. And finally his level 3. Known as Great Ape. Pressing quarter circle backwards and right trigger, Goku looks up in the sky and begins to transform into a large Ape and slam his fist down. You can hold the button for multiple strikes. However, it cost 2 extra bars of Ki. The damage is massive however when finished Goku will have a cool down pose making him open.
Here’s a way I found to land base Goku’s Super Genki Dama, so just ordinarily finish the combo first as you would, then use a level one to add the extra damage, (do it again if you want), then into switching into Goku’s level 3. Landed 2/2 times on casual matches. Yes, not that many to be considered credible lol.
Hey so blue Vegeta can combo into Goku Spirit Bomb if you use his assist after a vanish it will pop them right to the Spirit Bomb but it is specific on certain characters one of them it does not work on is freiza
Hey can anyone explain how I can activate Level 3 and Level 20 kaioken in training mode? I wanna practice the inputs but I can only do level 1 kaioken. Do I have to manually lower my teammates health?
There is another solution to Goku's manual beginner if you start with L L. I figured this out with Goku Blue, you can just do L L into M and skip the 2M
I love this character so much ive gotten my ass kicked just for this man to hit them like a flashbang and win me the match, he comes from my favorite Arc and has my favorite transformation
So does Base Goku not use the hope of the universe speech? As Bandai promoted on their Twitter and on their RUclips channel the speech in the description?
You know what I love? Goku's down special move is an almost EXACT copy of the underwater Kamehameha from his fight with Frieza. Even the overhead after it is an almost exact match Love how accurate it is to the anime. Only difference is the color. It should be blue not yellow.
NixUniverse ya that kinda sucks but it's incredibly hard to actually achieve. The attack is ridiculously fast, it allows MAJOR mixups so it's almost impossible to predict when and where you can attack
Based on initial impression i think he's better than Goku Blue (assuming he's not buffed enough to be on par with the other gokus) but SS Goku is still the safest bet and more versatile and can run on any position, though a lot more honest and straightforward though than Goku Base.
If their health runs out while you're doing the "ender" (R1) you get that pose. So you basically just have to land the final blow of the kaioken when they have no health left.
It would be interesting if you did a mega brain bait with goku. Do your beginning of your block string then in the middle use the spirit bomb and just delay your assist just a tad so you can mega brain catch your enemy and get a free lvl 3 😂 that would be amazing to see lol
Ok question: can you charge a lvl 1 spirit bomb while an assist covers you? Followup question: can you charge a second spirit bomb while the enemy is in the hitstun from the lvl 1 spirit bomb? Because that seems like a hella legit setup.
You don't even need an assist. Land the first three hits of the auto combo, then charge spirit bomb while they're bouncing off the far wall. Also yes you can charge a second spirit bomb while they're being launched airborne by the one you just hit them with. If I can't get full charge I'll nail them with it then charge while it's launching them skyward = guaranteed max charge.
I know he's a DLC character and all, but once you buy him why can't he be the default Goku on the character select screen instead of SS Goku? It would make more sense since it's Goku when DBZ started
Schmibble Schmab well you see, what's on every dbz merch ever, that's right super saiyan, it's just more iconic that's why they put ssj Goku instead of base
I started to play this game at the beginning of season 3 and Base Goku is one of my main, but now seeing his season 1 moves i can say that command grab is terrible and it literally takes 1 ki bar to actually grab the opponent which is insane. I didn't know he was like that in season 1.
So, Goku has basically no use for his level three as anchor, as he'd have no support to actually combo into it or charge the base Spirit Bomb. Instead, he should burn his meter on the merry-go-round from hell that is the Kaioken. I already use Yamcha anyway if I want to go for it, but I'm also leery about subbing out Beerus or 21.
You could charge spirit bomb before hand. Or take advantage of an enemies cautiousness to charge it to lv 2 or if you're lucky lv 3. I'm pretty sure lv2 spirit bomb can link into Super spirit bomb
Dude, that transition when Goku went from normal to Blue was smooth as hell.
Yeah that transition was very nice.
Was that the base Goku transformation or was that each just powering up
@@josephdiesta7612 it was a transition between the three characters
So base Goku plays like he does in the anime. Basically wait to everybody get their ass beat or die before he comes in to save the day lol
Jedi_Mindset well said lmao
Jedi_Mindset thats dbz goku
Power of Friendship Times 4!
Cyber Dragoon yea not super Goku who is always there.
Poisoned by Frost, let someone else handle it. Beaten by Black, let someone else handle it. Beaten by Jiren on multiple occasions; mastered his random power-up after everyone had their asses beat.
DBS Goku is breaking records.
0:31 I actually believe for a second that he can transform into SSJ BLUE, jaja Nice edit.
DMarkov10 I had to search it up cuz I couldnt believe it😂
Lol i fell for that too
if u already unlocked it,can he?
emis dkm no sadly
0:31 cool transformation edit
This is why fighterZ is so cool. Unlike in other DB games were multiple Goku’s played almost the same, this game has 5 different Goku’s and yet each HS their own play style. Hope to see this Goku used in tournaments soon 👍
Yes because it is a real fighting game.
Lol this is a straight shot at XV and a warranted one as well bc *cough every goku except the gt ones, and rose black have the same damn combo cough*
Base, super sayain, blue, black. That's only 4
Which is why I want Super Saiyan 4 Goku in this game. Imagine guys, a freaking Dragon Fist as his level 3 move. Super Saiyan 4 Goku will have the most amazing moveset if he was in this game. But obviously we won't get it, I mean no matter how cool FighterZ did their multiple version of the same character, fans will be mad if another Goku was added.
Should I get this or dbz xenoverse 2?
The move where he throws the ki blasts in the air the comes down with a dropkick is exactly what he did to frieza at the start of their fight.
Vegeta superdashing; WAIT, DEATH IS OVER THERE! I'LL CATCH IT!
So to charge the spirit bomb, you need to have another character help out while it charges.
Wow, like the Frieza saga.
No you don't.
Do the first three moves of his auto combo then charge it. You'll have plenty of time to reach max charge while they're bouncing off the far wall.
Man that special of the upward fireballs and then the downward kick from above looks marvelous. The adaptation of that series of attacks from the anime to the game was done so beautifully and accurately... I commend Arcsys for that.
8Pabs8 I have honestly never seen him fire ki blasts like that in the anime
Wow, Globku works fast.
Here is another thing about the spirit bomb. If you switch out Goku, you get to keep all that charged energy (assuming you charged it)
Gameboii98 He mentioned that in the video.
I would assume so. Everything in this game can be refected except dragon rush. If you are talking about the Super Spirit Bomb (lv.3 super) I wouldn't take the risk. Reflecting that is pretty hard since you don't know when it will land, and it does A LOT of chip dmg. What I would do is just wait for the bomb to get closer to the ground and away from Goku. Once that happens, just vanish; if you vanish right when the Spirit bomb is launched, you will get caught up in the bomb and take a fuck ton of dmg
You can Reflect it.
You can also dash to the other side of the screen and be safe lol
If you press down and ki while doing kaioken it will angle the blast upward for a launcher
great video glob! I ended up liking these two a lot more that I initially thought, though I like vegeta a bit more.
You can land his grab from the kaioken in a corner. If you doing combos you can do the hits that you want and then you gotta do the special which is that ki blast wave and then the heavy and it connects
I run ssj goku and use his Instant kamehameha all the time so now it’s nice to have something to combo that with in the super spirit bomb
Wait, Instant Kamehameha combos with Super Spirit Bomb?
An Explosion yea do goku’s BnB into his L smash punch and so his instant kamehameha and as soon as goku appears for the blast do base goku’s spirit bomb
It works so well that sometimes I just throw it out to look at it.
Once you get real good with it you can use goku’s double super kamehameha combo into spirit bomb for max damage
+sonXofXsparda
Will have to try it then.
Good thing my team already has both of them on!
An Explosion I use kid buu as my starter I basically use him to build meter for ssj goku then when buu falls I go hard with goku to ensure I take out as much of the enemy team as possible and when I know ssj goku is gonna go down I stop using meter and build up to 7 then let him fall.
Base goku comes out and I spark and go in with the kiaoken setups to end the match with all my meter.
That game plan usually works for all opponents but when I’m outmatched in skill I mix it up and swap kid buu for goku starting out eliminating my kamehameha spirit bomb combo but allowing me to use kid buu mid Match for pressure and using ssj goku at the start to really put a dent in my opponents team
I tend to swap between Ssj Goku and Adult Gohan to spread out the damage between them (Because they heal when not being used, of course.)
I also occasionaly pull Baseku out if they are both healing.
Goku looks like a very fun character! Great breakdown as always Glob
The 2 people that disliked are Saibamen
HAHAHA
No, that's base Vegeta and Nappa. The other 85 are the real saibamen.
Goku actually does have a way of using a pseudo invincible super on reaction. All you have to do is activate Kaioken and instantly go for the ender.
As a base Goku main, his super spirit bomb is an absolute last resort or if I can get the kill by combing kefla's level one into goku's level 3. But he's definitely one of if not the best anchor in the game.
"I don't think he'll be top tier anytime soon."
Famous Last Words
He was actually close to top tier on release, they just didn't realize it till Wawa showcased him. But now he is officially top tier.
4:49-4:59 Kaioken
Super Spirit Bomb is really situational. I also found that you can trick inexperienced players to teleport behind you if you randomly trigger Super Spirit Bomb. If they do it right away, you have a guaranteed hit. Finally you can fire the SSB during someone's level 3 attack, say Vegito, Vegeta SSJ or Blue. If you notice them activating that, then if you make the move in time Goku will teleport way above them and smash their asses with SSB.
I needed help with the kaioken so thanks
I can already see it 5 months from now
" Hello and welcome to another Dragon Ball Fighterz video and today Tgnanime will be doing a breakdown for Kid Goku!"
"Unlike his older forms one thing to note about Kid Goku is that what he lacks in height he makes up for in mixups. Kid Goku has no ki blast when pressing

DO YOU SEE THIS BANDAI NAMCO!? HIRE THIS PERSON!!!!
Mate, you are a god
I approve this 100%
Oh my god
Holy shit you fucking called it. But it's GT and DB Kid Goku.
2:23 you can. I know it’s an old video so maybe he figured it out but could be good for some people to know
Who else is here trying to find out how to play Goku after they release goku in fighterz for free
Hey, I'm gonna get the game tomorrow is there any free dlc character?
No not that I know of
This is late, but you can use Ginyu in arcade mode to get a taste of what each character is like in battle.
If you use Future Trunks, the tier 1 kaioken finisher when goku crashes the opponent into the ground is a good way to confirm Trunk's level 3!
Zamasu can also combo into spirit bomb if you delay air super with flight
just so you know, down down and special lets you charge after the first spirit bomb.
Dude I love these tips and tricks videos keep up the good work
Here’s a way I found to land base Goku’s Super Genki Dama, so just ordinarily finish the combo first as you would, then use a level one to add the extra damage, (do it again if you want), then into switching into Goku’s level 3. Landed 2/2 times on casual matches. Yes, not that many to be considered credible lol.
Just bought this man so I can make a goku only team and annoy the hell outta my friend
7:35 with the Zamasu special it works too
Janemba Zamasu Goku is my team 😂
Been waiting on this video 🙏🏽👍🏽
Bruhhh this character is amazing
His way u can mixup with kaioken and the fact that each kaioken adds more hits is amazing
Great breakdown man 👍🏽
I wish we got to see more of base Goku in the anime, he is my favorite version of Goku
Woah nice edit i was confused and thought goku turn super saiyan when he is charging ki
Goku's kameha makes his power level attack 10x's now. Back at the Saiyan saga it only did 3x's more damage than his power level.
Actually he used 3x kaioken against Vegeta, then he was using 10x (and later 20x) kaioken against Frieza.
And he has an amazing costume that changes his shadow... what an amazing character
Hey so blue Vegeta can combo into Goku Spirit Bomb if you use his assist after a vanish it will pop them right to the Spirit Bomb but it is specific on certain characters one of them it does not work on is freiza
I know this video is old but god that 0:30 comment just wrecked me. hahaha
Yes! Love your breakdowns!
Me: “I’ll wait and see how goku plays before getting him and vegita”
Globku: “wait? What is waiting? I already know everything about goku!”
I really love the kaioken attack is my favorite for base goku
0:36 goku blue autocombo works the same exact way
Highest damage scaling for kaioken is using the finisher first with r1 rb at the beginning.
I love this time of supers like kioken They look incredible like Vegita super punching down p2 in the air.
Super spirit bomb is great for baiting a vanish as well, the moves so big it will suck them in
Hey can anyone explain how I can activate Level 3 and Level 20 kaioken in training mode? I wanna practice the inputs but I can only do level 1 kaioken. Do I have to manually lower my teammates health?
Just got him today I enjoy using base goku he fun to use and super are great
Ty for this video. It was very usefull
You said not to use Kaioken Grab in a combo. But, you should. Kaioken KI / GRAB / LIGHT - FINISHER works.
He's my favorite out of the 2 base form characters. Looks really interesting.
There is another solution to Goku's manual beginner if you start with L L. I figured this out with Goku Blue, you can just do L L into M and skip the 2M
you can also link vegeta blue into spirit bomb and surprisingly beerus ( but ive only been able to do it raw)
What's that move goku use when he puts his arms side to side and u get send flying
did you guys knew goku super saiyan loop works on base goku
i swear it worked
So my current team is Broly Vegito Vegita, im thinking of adding base goku as a replacement for vegita, thoughts?
I love this character so much ive gotten my ass kicked just for this man to hit them like a flashbang and win me the match, he comes from my favorite Arc and has my favorite transformation
So does Base Goku not use the hope of the universe speech? As Bandai promoted on their Twitter and on their RUclips channel the speech in the description?
You know what I love? Goku's down special move is an almost EXACT copy of the underwater Kamehameha from his fight with Frieza. Even the overhead after it is an almost exact match
Love how accurate it is to the anime. Only difference is the color. It should be blue not yellow.
It's yellow in the manga
Ahh okay. They really do pay attention to detail.
Just a heads up it would be cool to show how some moves affect block as well.
Nice edit
That Super Dash punish damn
there should be a dramatic finish with goku(base) and kid buu
I miss this amazing channel.
4:28 how did he spend a bar but still got the medium animation?
This was his ex (heavy) move in season 1. And ex moves was requiring 1 ki bar to perform back in season 1.
is that why when i try to use his level 1 it doesnt do full cause im not pressing the buttons?
I was literally just about to say he has one of the best level ones in the game until I saw that he can get hit DURING the animations
NixUniverse ya that kinda sucks but it's incredibly hard to actually achieve. The attack is ridiculously fast, it allows MAJOR mixups so it's almost impossible to predict when and where you can attack
So apparently gokus kaioken is invincible on startup if you go straight into the finisher.
to dodge a spirit bomb go on the opposite side of the spirit bomb
Wish they did something really unique
and gave him the power pole, that’d be awesome
Also down special is a launcher in kaioken
Based on initial impression i think he's better than Goku Blue (assuming he's not buffed enough to be on par with the other gokus) but SS Goku is still the safest bet and more versatile and can run on any position, though a lot more honest and straightforward though than Goku Base.
How did you do that last part at the end where he holds you up in the air after the super then throws you down
If their health runs out while you're doing the "ender" (R1) you get that pose.
So you basically just have to land the final blow of the kaioken when they have no health left.
you can combo off of his down down special kick without having to vanish
atualy you can use the command grab mid kaioken but only if the opponent is blocking your attack
Or if you're in the corner
Ok but how do you aim the kaioken kamehameha up?
thank you!
Thank you I have Mastered goku
1:14
I buy all the characters cause I'm a huge fan of DB plus the kids love it too. But this said for me Goku is by far the best
It would be interesting if you did a mega brain bait with goku. Do your beginning of your block string then in the middle use the spirit bomb and just delay your assist just a tad so you can mega brain catch your enemy and get a free lvl 3 😂 that would be amazing to see lol
You can actually extend the kaioken longer i have done it
It's based on how many characters are alive on your team
Im going to buy him cause he looks fun to play I may play him more then super sayain Goku
How do i do the Kamehameha in Kaio Ken with my teammates alive?
needs at least one dead character
Nice video
Ok question: can you charge a lvl 1 spirit bomb while an assist covers you? Followup question: can you charge a second spirit bomb while the enemy is in the hitstun from the lvl 1 spirit bomb? Because that seems like a hella legit setup.
Yes. No
You don't even need an assist.
Land the first three hits of the auto combo, then charge spirit bomb while they're bouncing off the far wall.
Also yes you can charge a second spirit bomb while they're being launched airborne by the one you just hit them with.
If I can't get full charge I'll nail them with it then charge while it's launching them skyward = guaranteed max charge.
I found out that at a certain height you can 2H into super spirit bomb
Awesome video just subbed wish I found you earlier lol
"He wont be top tier" Bro bandai made you eat those words hes so good rn
I know he's a DLC character and all, but once you buy him why can't he be the default Goku on the character select screen instead of SS Goku? It would make more sense since it's Goku when DBZ started
Schmibble Schmab well you see, what's on every dbz merch ever, that's right super saiyan, it's just more iconic that's why they put ssj Goku instead of base
thx god that u did this
I started to play this game at the beginning of season 3 and Base Goku is one of my main, but now seeing his season 1 moves i can say that command grab is terrible and it literally takes 1 ki bar to actually grab the opponent which is insane. I didn't know he was like that in season 1.
i hope the last dlc character is gogito this would make so many people mad honestly
Came here to listen to Globku
Would Teen Gohan be good with Goku?
*I literally have 5 different teams of ONLY Goku's.*
So, Goku has basically no use for his level three as anchor, as he'd have no support to actually combo into it or charge the base Spirit Bomb.
Instead, he should burn his meter on the merry-go-round from hell that is the Kaioken.
I already use Yamcha anyway if I want to go for it, but I'm also leery about subbing out Beerus or 21.
James Staton Yeah Kaioken alone is his best tool; that autocombo 3rd hit is really good too.
You could charge spirit bomb before hand. Or take advantage of an enemies cautiousness to charge it to lv 2 or if you're lucky lv 3. I'm pretty sure lv2 spirit bomb can link into Super spirit bomb
