Goku
(CV : Masako Nozawa, JP / Sean Schemmel, US)

First appearing as a child in the popular TV-anime
Dragonball, Goku continues his leading role as
an adult in the follow-up series Dragon Ball Z.

Born on Planet Vegeta, our hero began his
life as the Saiyan "Kakarot".
A low-class warrior by birth, the infant Kakarot,
second son of Bardock, was sent to Earth just
before Planet Vegeta's destruction.

After arriving on Earth, however, he met with an
unexpected accident which cost him his memory.
He was found by a kindly old man named Gohan,
who took the boy into his care and raised him as
his very own son.
It was Gohan who gave young Kakarot the name
by which he is known now-"Goku".

Since his first encounter with Bulma and the
ensuing quest to find the seven magic Dragonballs.
Goku has encountered many fierce opponents
who have pushed him to test his limits in both
body and spirit.
He has even started a family with his wife, Chichi.
As Goku has grown, however, so have the stakes
for which he fights.
The fate of the entire universe is now rests on Goku's
shoulders as he battles increasingly powerful
adversaries such as Frieza, Cell and Majin Buu.

Always willing to sacrifice himself for the greater
good, Goku has felt the sting of death two times,
first in the battle against his brother Raditz,
and again during the explosive climax of the battle
with Cell.
But not even death can stop Goku!
Because of his heroic efforts, he is allowed to
continue his training in Other World until such time
as he can be wished back to life by the power of
the Dragonballs.

After defeating the evil Kid Buu and bringing peace
back to the universe, Goku departed with
the reincarnated form of Buu, the young boy Uub,
in order to train him. Together, Goku and Uub
can continue to push their strength to the edge
of their limits and beyond.

Later, in the Dragonball GT, Goku is returned to his
boyhood form by the Black Star Dragonballs,
and must embark on a journey that spans
the universe in order to save the Earth.

Since first transforming into a legendary Super
Saiyan during the ferocious battle against Frieza
on Planet Namek, Goku has been able to push
himself to ever-higher levels of power through
intense training.

He has demonstrated these powers in battle,
transforming into Super Saiyan 2, Super Saiyan 3,
and the ultimate Super Saiyan 4.

Among Goku's favored special-techniques are
the Kamehameha Wave, the Spirit Bomb, Kaio-Ken,
and Instant Transmission.
He is also quite adept at using the techniques of his
friends, such as the Destructo Disc and Solar Flare.

Goku's greatest-and perhaps only-weakness is
his inability to stand up to his wife ChiChi,
who constantly hounds him to quit his "karate-bum"
lifestyle and get a real job.

Finishing Moves        : 3
Super Finishing Move   : 3

My comment : Goku is a very balanced character, making him suitable for
beginners. Actually, Goku is not that strong, but because of his Spirit Bomb
technique, he can deal so much damage to his opponents. Spirit Bomb is one of
the strongest move in this game.

       Comment     : Good move! But it takes some time before you can turn
                     into Kaio-ken mode, and maybe the enemy will take this
                     opportunity to attack you with his most powerful attack

       Rating      : 4/5
       Comment     : A good move. The ki costs less than Kamehameha but the
                     damage is greater than Kamehameha. The bad part is when
                     Goku dashes towards the enemy, although he can deflect all
                     normal ki blasts he will be vulnerable to other Finishing

8. Combos Using Goku
===============================================================================
1. (Make sure you do this while Goku is in the Kaio-ken mode) I will do the 4 
squares combo and then press X for a hard hit (making the enemy stunned for a
second), then I'll press the 4 squares combo again and then press X again (do
that until the gauge under the mini-map becomes red), then do the 4 squares
combo again but this time DO NOT press X, press square and charge it, so the
gauge lights up until red. Goku will send the enemy far away, before the enemy
fall down you should do the Kaio-ken Attack move/ the Kamehameha move.
Rating : 4/5

2. (Make sure you do this while Goku is in the MAX POWER mode) Do the 4 squares
and then press X, quickly before the enemy recovers you should do Spirit Bomb.
(You can also do the 4 square-X combo as many as you want as long as the MAX
POWER mode isn't over, but the failure rate of this combo will become higher)
Rating : 5/5

3. Just spam your Kamehameha! This combo (maybe it's not a combo) actually
works very well against many opponents in Z Battle Gate, for example Cooler -
Final Form. Cooler is a bit hard but if you use this Kamehameha technique, he
will be much much easier.
Rating : 3.5/5 (a sissy but effective combo, not effective against hard enemy)

Remember!! I am not responsible if the combos do not work!! Since I've done
these combos and each of the combos is working.

9. Additional Notes
===============================================================================
This is my first FAQ!! I hope you enjoy it, I'm so sorry if there are some
mistakes, forgive me OK? The enemy here is Yamcha, since he has the lowest
Defense level (level 1). And also, the damages of the melee attacks here are
done with Goku attacking Yamcha not from the back, but from the front (the
damage will be different if I attack Yamcha from the back, it will be much
greater)
