Overview

Teen Gohan is a rather advanced character with stubby normals and deceptively good neutral. Teen Gohan's goal is to get in the opponent's face using his myriad of specials and make them block Flying Kick, putting Teen Gohan in the air and enabling many mindgames and mixups. Teen Gohan has very high damage and several combo opportunities thanks to his j.2/3S bombs, giving him loops and crazy corner carry. You'll be in awe at Teen Gohan's ability to drag the opponent from corner to corner and take half of their health in the process. Once they're down, Teen Gohan can start his crazy pressure and varied mixup. Although he can struggle at the long range, Gohan has an above average 5S, 5-Hit-Combo to close gaps, and his notorious air tracking autocombo. If you like a creative and high execution character, Teen Gohan is for you.

"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.
Voice:	Japanese: Masako Nozawa English: Colleen Clinkenbeard

Teen Gohan 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

• Autocombo: Possesses the best autocombo in the game.
• Incredible Damage and Combos: Boasts some of the highest damaging and flexible combos in the game. Excellent corner carry with bomb loops, extreme meter gain, and high damaging supers.
• Flying Kick: A fantastic special move that's great in combos and can create 50/50s on demand when paired with an assist.
• Reversal: Super Dragon Flight is both a great anti-air and an invulnerable move for escaping pressure.
• Good Mixups: Amazing left-right mixup with IAD j.L. Autocombo/2H sets up an assist mixup with j.236M/H.
• Ranged Presence: Great and fast grounded ki-blasts.
• Great Support Value: 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 pressure when blocked.

• Short Reach: Stubby normals (all except for 5LLL) require strong spacing awareness in neutral.
• Limited Ranged Game: Lacks a beam property move.
• Weak Air-Game: Limited offensive options in the air; his j.S doesn't have a great angle, and Flying Kick can only be used defensively.
• Needy: Needs assists to function well: combo routes, 50/50s, and general neutral.

Teen Gohan

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

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 5L Advances forward. Good reach for a 5L, will catch opponents after a blocked superdash. 5LL 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 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	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ The shortest reaching 5M in the game but also has pretty good frame advantage. Great for stagger pressure and hit confirms.

5H

5H	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Standard 5H. Great for assist combos in the corner, as 5H > SD > j.MH > j.236[L] works with or without smash for big damage. Other than that, it's outclassed by 5-Hit Combo or Flying Kick for midscreen combos.

5S

5S	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Hold or mash S to shoot all 4 Ki blasts. Fourth hit launches.

2L

2L	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Very short range. One of your main stagger pressure tools. 2M is an incredibly rewarding frametrap out of this move and it only requires a very slight delay.

2M

2M	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 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!!"	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Airborne 2H. Depending on the angle, the followup Super Dash can switch sides.

2S2

2S This is where the fun begins

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 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 File:DBFZ TeenGohan 6M.png	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Universal overhead with short reach.

j.L

j.L	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 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	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 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	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 5LLLLLLL Smash hit can wall bounce. j.H 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

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Hold or mash S to shoot all 4 Ki blasts. Fourth hit launches on hit. These ki-blasts are less than ideal in neutral. Due to the angle that Gohan fires his ki-blasts, he can only use j.S when he's in close proximity with the opponent, making him vulnerable against superdash. j.S is very useful to counter anti-air options during scramble situations, such as after the opponent blocks superdash or j.236M or H. This is beat by superdash, so mixing up your options is essential.

j.2H

j.2H	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Typical air launcher. Stops all air momentum and raises Gohan up and forward slightly.

j.2S

j.2S	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 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.

Special Moves

5-Hit Combo

5-Hit Combo 236L/M/H LARIAT

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 236L/M on hit can press L/M/H for extra attacks. Each followup switches sides. Doesn't have Head property. Scales like a medium. You can ToD out of this. L Reaches almost halfscreen. Keeps grounded opponent standing. M Reaches almost fullscreen. On block, can cross over crouching opponent. Can't steal the corner and doesn't work on big bodies. On hit, sends the opponent flying. If Gohan is pushing against crouching opponent in midscreen, this will hit from their back. With small bodies only standing next to them is enough, but bigger characters require forward momentum. H A tiny bit shorter than 236M. On hit, automatically performs all followups. Stays same side, Smash on the last hit. Smash hit wall splats, can followup with Super Dash for sliding knockdown. In the corner, non-Smash hit can link into j.L, j.M and j.236L/H.

5-Hit Combo Follow-up 1-3

5-Hit Combo Follow-up 1-3 5-Hit Combo L/M > L/M

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ L Keeps grounded opponent in place if they're on the ground Gently knocks away airborne opponent. You can do some cute reset with 236L~LLL series by delaying each followup or from the combo naturally dropping. Do keep in mind that despite 236X doesn't have Head property, these followups do. M Sends opponent far away into a small wall bounce, less vertical knockback than L followup. With proper timing 236M~LMLM will carry an opponent almost corner to corner.

5-Hit Combo Follow-up 4

5-Hit Combo Follow-up 4 5-Hit Combo L/M > H, 5-Hit Combo Follow-up 1-2 > H, or 5-Hit Combo Follow-up 3 > L/M/H

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ L Sends the opponent behind Gohan. Smash hit corner splats. M Sends the opponent in front of Gohan. Smash hit corner splats. In the corner, Smash hit can link into j.DR, non-Smash hit can link into j.L, j.M and j.236L/H. H Immediately ends the sequence, compound damage from unused followups. E.g. if there's 3 followups left, it will do 550*2, 700. Sends the opponent in front of Gohan. Smash hit wall splats and can followup with Super Dash for sliding knockdown. In the corner, non-Smash hit can link into j.L, j.M and j.236L/H.

Flying Kick

Flying Kick j.236L/M/H Lightning Legs!

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Upon using, Gohan pauses for a split second and starts a fall. L version keeps all momentum, M and H always moves forward. L Hold down L, M, H to continue kicking until landing. Performs 3 kicks at minimum. Very long landing recovery which can only be Super cancelled. Combos into both Supers at intermediate hitstun decay. Depending on the height, Gohan will do an extra kick before landing even if no buttons are held to make it easier to combo afterward. M Performs 7 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 wall splats, can link into 236M from midscreen. Scales like a medium starter. On hit, only recovers upon landing. On block, Gohan will reposition himself to a fixed height. Removes all other added landing recovery. Safe on block, you can either sneak in a j.L before landing or backdash and reset to neutral. With Smash, this lets you link a 5-Hit Combo midscreen and a 2L in the corner for combo extensions. H Similar to M version but with 13 kicks. On hit, recovers in the air. Smash hit wall bounces. Removes all other added landing recovery. Plus on block, but j.236H > j.L can still be 2H'd. Combos into 2M midscreen for big damage.

Super Dragon Flight

Super Dragon Flight 214L/M/H Why the hell does scale like a medium

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ The uppercut's first 2 active frames can be cancelled into Supers, since he's still considered as grounded. L Frame 1 anti-air. Unscaled starter, devastating punish for any airborne shenanigans and a common TOD starter. M Frame 1 full invul. Smash 5MMM can wall bounce. H Frame 1 full invul. Smash hit performs the full uppercut. This uppercut can be Vanish cancelled. Gut punch crumples grounded opponent on Smash hit, launches them high up on non-Smash.

Z Assists

Assist A

Super Dragon Flight Assist A r u ok	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ DP on demand. Good for controlling vertical space and during aerial scrambles where the assist comes from out of view below.

Assist B

Masendan Assist B	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Give the gift of bombs. Incredible as a combo assist, not all that great at everything else. It's a bomb so it isn't exactly great for neutral, and the fact that it is a Ki Blast limits its usage in blockstrings. Think of it more like a mini SSJ Vegeta assist in that way.

Assist C

Flying Kick Assist C	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Teen Gohan teleports to the opponent and hits them with the M version of Flying Kick.

Super Moves

Motionless Kamehameha

Motionless Kamehameha 236L+M or 236H+S

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Minimum damage: 91*10 (910). Close hit, the beam will try to vacuum the opponent into its center, making it possible to DHC into some grounded Supers. This is one of the highest damage level 1 supers in the game, given to a character that already has high damage. It's really good to have but its angle limits the ways you can combo into it. It works out of any sliding knockdown in the corner, but midscreen you're limited to j.236[L] enders to make it work.

Father-Son Kamehameha

Father-Son Kamehameha 214L+M or 214H+S You gon get it now Lets get this oki gamers IS IT GONNA KILL??!??!?!?!?

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Father-Son Kamehameha Minimum damage: 87*20 (1740). Good oki. Gohan can beat wake up 2H with a regular jump air attack. Hits full screen and has good vertical reach as well. Slower startup than average so be careful about using it as a reversal. Limited to use on the ground, which makes comboing into it difficult if you've already used your vanish in some cases. Almost always works out of j.236[L], but will drop in high hitstun decay due to how slow it is. Father-Son Kamehameha (Full Power) Hold L/M/H/S on hit or clash Minimum damage: 87*20, 55*20 (2840). Weak oki. Gohan can maintain pressure at close range but nothing more. Not efficient but good for finishing opponents. Enables some ToD's and is completely unfair in Limit Break.
