5L is a bones jab, can abolish back into itself or 2L once and is the fastest attack in Goku'southward kit along with 2L. Y'all'll want to use this to challenge/mash, or to reset pressure similar 4LL nuance 5L.

All 5L can too cancel into Dragon Rush on block/hit and human activity as a universal tickthrow. Since all normals tin kara abolish their get-go four startup frames into DR, y'all tin also try something like 5L > 2L~DR, which will visually testify Goku crouching for a few frames before DR-ing and throw the opponent off (assuming they're at the level where they tin can see these frames...)

5LL generally used equally combo/blockstring filler. On hit, 5L along with 5LL and 5M are the 3 spring cancelable normals Goku (and most characters) has. While the basic combo structure is something like 5L > 5LL > 2M > 5M > jc into airstring, if you get a devious 5L or 5LL hit confronting airborne opponent, be set up to jump abolish right away since continuing downward the grounded string will drop the combo.

Stays grounded.
Jails into Vanish on its ain, or true string into 236S and so Vanish.

5LLL ends the blockstring very early on and is very niche as a combo filler. While it does have abnormally loftier blockstun, being ane of the very few normals in the game that tin jail into Vanish, it's however not worth using for most purposes.

On block, 5LLL > SD is not 2H-able in the corner (3f gap), which puts Goku airborne for potential assisted mix-ups with late airdash loftier or state depression. This is due to the frame data revert on his 2M, as it's only 10 frames of startup.

Ki Blast holding.
Mash or hold Due south to shoot up to vi Ki Blasts.
Last Ki blast launches on hit.

Really adept button to stagger with every bit it's safe and push button the opponent out a decent amount. Since all Ki Blasts' blockstun can be Guard Canceled with Reflect or SD, 5S(1) acts as a very basic blockstring "mini-game": 5S(1) 2M is a stagger that beats GC Reflect and most 5L/2L mashing, loses to GC SD. Mean while, 5S(ane) > 5H is a true blockstring that beats GC SD and loses to GC Reflect. Of course, they can also cull to just block.

In neutral, 5S is likewise a good zoning tool equally information technology's a fast, low-commitment fullscreen control push. It's also repeatable upwards to vi times so can trounce out characters with less amount of repeatable Ki Blasts.

Zoning with 5S has ii uncomplicated counterplays: SD or dash jump-in. SD can be beaten very hands if 5S fabricated contact with them at all as you'll be able to cancel into 2H. Dash leap is a lot more than effective since they'll fly over the Ki Blasts birthday, and then you always wanna only use 2 Ki Blasts before stopping and starting again for zoning: shooting more is easier to confirm, but shooting less is safer overall, 2 is the perfect amount to ostend into Vanish or recover fast enough to punish with 2H or block the jump-in.

One on Goku'southward fundamental stagger tools, equally existence -0 on block allows for like shooting fish in a barrel force per unit area restarts when combined with the threat of his 2M (although the button is somewhat limited due to its early gatling in strings). Since it can also exist inputted with 1L, in situations like mashing out of pressure or staggering with dash 2L, Goku will get the push button out if the opponent blocks but will block himself if they attack. This is better than 5L/4L as you'll be blocking low instead of loftier, protecting you lot from characters with low 2L.

While 2L and 5L tin can but be used twice per blockstring, past delaying button presses, y'all can make it ambiguous whether or not the last 5L/2L started new string, creating a seemingly infinite blockstring.

Universal overhead. Puts Goku airborne, cannot be canceled into anything when not in Sparking.

Very telegraphed and can but solo extend into a combo if it hits airborne opponents or very compact confronting grounded opponents. In a blockstring, 6M will go out at least a 9F gap, making y'all very vulnerable to mashing. It's also ±0 on cake, which means any character with a 6F assail tin initiate a clashing sequence afterward, exist ready to engage with something like 5L > 4LL or 5L > Reflect.

A lot more strong when paired with an assist as it tin cover for the gap or requite reward on block/allow for a combo on striking. In Sparking, y'all tin do 6M > airdash j.Grand (1f gap on cake) which allows you to go along the blockstring or solo ostend with 5L on landing. 6M > airdash j.LL is gapless on block, but you can't truestring into grounded buttons later on landing.

5LLLLLLL Smash hit tin can wall bounce.

5LLLLLLL has a slightly unlike knockdown angle and effect on Boom hit than j.H, but this move is mostly unused. The wallbounce can be used to tag your teammates in and follow up with a combo, just at that place better alternatives like 5H, j.2H, or Vanish.

This is however the most consequent source of Dragon Balls and as well the only way to summon Shenron. Information technology is possible to mess upward mashing L 7 times and go j.H instead, so make sure that there isn't any gap between the automatic SD and j.Fifty.

j.H forces crouching on grounded hit. Causes a sliding knockdown on Smash hit.

Downwards angle makes this Goku's nigh common leap-in.

Also used equally an alternate philharmonic ender to j.Due south > j.236L. Though since information technology's faster, doesn't touch Goku's own momentum and is a D+ Type Nail, this is more oftentimes used for assisted combos.

Ki Smash property.
Stalls momentum temporarily.

Jump or IAD dorsum j.S is a expert keep abroad and/or to snipe grounded opponent, just beware that if it has quite a lot of landing recovery, aka punishable on landing.

On spring-ins, j.L > j.South is a "Reflect proof" string: if the opponent reflects j.L and try to cancel into a non-invulnerable attacks, they will exist stuffed past j.South, this forces them to either go back to blocking or hazard a second reflect. IAD j.M > j.S or j.H > j.S also add some extra damage for the combo on hit while maintaining roughly the aforementioned frame advantage on block/hit. On safe jumps, something similar j.M 4S is an Bone that gives j.L > j.South on block/hit or a Reverberate on landing if they reversal.

This is also another great combo filler due to its relatively high hitstun, being used in all combos from basic BnBs to advanced Sparking loops.

236L does sliding knockdown on Boom hit.
Goes half screen.

j.S > j.236L is Goku's anywhere meterless sliding knockdown. It'south essentially gratis impairment/meter over j.H, at that place's not much reason non to end your combo with j.236L beside at high hitstun decay where information technology'll whiff.

Tin exist done after a jump in as a double overhead of sort, but the reward isn't dandy, it can whiff over them, and there'll always exist a gap as you're charging frontward.

236M ground bounce sliding knockdown on Smash hit.
Goes about fullscreen.

j.236M can exist linked from 214M and j.214M in the corner, which is also the only manner for him to solo extend meterlessly with the ground bounce. Close to the ground, he can exercise j.236M ▷ 5L or 2L, slightly higher upwardly he can exercise j.L > j.S on the way down, very loftier up information technology's j.Chiliad > j.S. Note that in that location'due south a small "deadzone" where you tin't link neither j.L nor 5L/2L.

Learning the range and pinnacle at which he tin extend with j.236M will heave Goku's damage significantly. For example, he tin can do SD > j.M > j.214M near the corner into j.236M which is way ameliorate than simply catastrophe with j.LLS > j.236L, and information technology doesn't hurt to attempt doing the extension since the opponent will be in sliding knockdown anyhow if you miss it.

236H teleports to the opponent, ground version has no vertical tracking, air version tracks everywhere on screen.
Values in [ ] are when the opponent is in untech fourth dimension (air hitstun).
Ground bounce sliding knockdown on Smash hit.

While the ground bounce is the same as Thousand version, the fast teleport on startup makes it a lot more flexible to combo into and solo extend.

A lot stronger equally a jump in double overhead compares to j.236L, as the blitheness is more cryptic, it can't whiff, and on hit you tin can extend with Vanish. It can be used equally a decent Spark bait thanks to being full invul during the teleport.

Teleport comes from the direction Goku's facing and not the opponent's. So a cross-up dash jump into j.236H will hit from their back for a "double" cantankerous-up. Doing information technology afterward an airdash, double spring or super jump won't work because Goku will turn around.

Teleports to the opponent on footing level. Launches on the 2nd hit.
On striking, teleports over again behind them after the second hit and knocks down into a basis bounce SKD.
Values in [ ] are when the opponent is in hitstun/untech.

A bones C assist: high blockstun, easy for combo extension, just has slow startup in neutral and blockstring, absurdly long cooldown, and nigh doesn't do anything that A and B assists tin can't. It can enable some unique synergies over the other 2 assists, such equally some characters can benefit more than from the long animation it does on hit, or they tin can apply the backward hit to pull the opponent out of the corner for setups.

But really, this assist is too redundant to use, especially since SS Goku's other strong options are 1 of the about of import factors to adding him to your team.
