SS4 Gogeta

Goku and Vegeta are two of the most powerful characters in the Dragon Ball anime. Yeah, this universe has quite a few overpowered villains, but those two Super Saiyans can adapt to different foes and reach new levels of their exceptional abilities. One of the impressively effective weapons in their arsenal is Fusion that helps them combine abilities. If they perform a special Fusion Dance, a new superior warrior appears, Gogeta.

This character was introduced with the movie Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn. Goku and Vegeta faced an awful monster Janemba and were absolutely unable to defeat him. Vegeta was against the fusion first, and this reluctance caused a minor mistake in the dance. The first attempt created an underpowered fusion. Then, with some help from one of the allies, Pikkon, they formed Gogeta and destroyed Janemba.

It’s not so easy to classify all the forms for Super Saiyans because the series has quite a few of them. And for the purposes of Dragon Ball FighterZ, such effort would definitely be excessive. You take a character, learn their abilities, and just enjoy fights (hopefully, victorious). One of those many forms is Super Siyan 4. To get it, Goku and Vegeta should be able to take their form of Golden Great Ape and still control their mind (just a few dozens of the anime episodes might help you understand this transformation a little bit better).

Anyways, Gogeta also has his Super Saiyan 4 form, and he participates in the FighterZ game as Gogeta SS4 (also having SSGSS, but that’s a different story). This form appeared in the anime Dragon Ball GT, where Goku and Vegeta had to fight Omega Shenron. They both were in the SS4 form, so Gogeta turned out to be slightly different in appearance and with different abilities. 

Gogeta combines the personality features of two basic characters (he even has two voices merged into one). He is confident and mostly silent, preferring defeating an enemy as fast as possible without prolonging battle to just enjoy it, as other Super Saiyans tend to do.

This character was added to the game with the FighterZ Pass 3, so Gogeta SS4 is absent from the story mode. 

Playstyle of Gogeta SS4 in DBFZ

This character is super strong at close- and medium-range fights. The archetype of Gogeta SS4 is rushdown, so you need to find a way to come close to your opponent and deal a massive amount of damage. Gogeta SS4 has absolutely impressive neutrals and devastating super moves. If you fight against this character, it might be a good idea to risk and prevent Gogeta SS4 from reaching Level 7 and get access to the instantly killing option 100x Big Bang Kamehameha.

Gogeta SS4 is the only character in DBFZ with the double air dash ability, which opens many opportunities for the players. Weaknesses of this fighter include his range (Gogeta SS4 struggle in matches against zoners), limited Assist selection, and difficulties of using Finish Sign to reach Level 7.

DBFZ | Gogeta SS4 — Basic Attacks

• 5L — a relatively high jab. It can be used as a check after a blocked superdash

• 5LLL — an excellent anti-air option with side swapping
