It’s been a little over a month since Dragon Ball FighterZ has released, and it’s still going strong as ever, especially because we’re finally seeing some high-level offline play. Finding some of these amazing clips might be hard without your trusty Dragon Radar, but we’ve gone ahead and found seven high-level plays so awesome, you’ll be chanting, “Takkaraput pop porunga pupiritt paro!”



We’ve all seen those ridiculous Adult Gohan blockstring training mode videos, but never would you actually think you’d see one pulled off in a match! That’s what happens here - but make sure to watch to the end and see exactly what happens. Here’s a hint - there’s an Adult Gohan level 3 to end the video.

Prominent fighting game commentator Hellpockets has been putting in his fair share of work as a player in DBFZ, and this video shows the extent of his awareness and dexterity as a player. Realizing he only needed one more combo to summon Shenron, Hellpockets decided to skip the fancy, drawn-out combos he’s used to performing and settled for a simple auto-combo. He managed to collect his seventh Dragon Ball and summon the mighty dragon to grant him one of four wishes.

For those unaware, Shenron is summoned by performing seven combos of varying lengths or seven full basic autocombos, as well as possessing seven bars of super meter. At that point, Shenron will grant his summoner one of four wishes: The ability to revive a fallen teammate, the availibility of a second Sparking Blast which powers up damage output and health regeneration, a full health bar for their current point character, or half of their health and a boost on super meter regeneration. The Shenron mechanic is one that is rarely seen in high-level play, so when someone manages to make it happen, it’s pretty neat. Luckily, we don’t see too many matches decided by the mechanic, which is exactly how a mechanic like this should be.

Hopefully you haven’t had your fill of Adult Gohan, because this next clip of everyone’s favorite nerdy savior of Earth is performed by none other than top Street Fighter pro Kazunoko. Kazunoko performs his own unique take on the Adult Gohan “lightning leg” loops (named after Chun-Li’s move of similar fashion) and uses a poor, unfortunate online Cell player as a training dummy. Kazunoko ends with the Family Kamehameha, as most Adult Gohan combos end.

Kazunoko is a revered member of the FGC, who is most famous for his work with Yun during the Street Fighter IV era. His skills landed him a first-place finish at Canada Cup 2011, CEO 2015, Capcom Cup 2015, and much, much more. He’s still active in games like Street Fighter V and Guilty Gear Xrd, but we can now add DBFZ to the list of games he’s strong in.

We’ve covered FOX|SonicFox’s dominance over the fighting games he plays in the past, but this clip shows the extent of his powers. He only needs two combos to finish off his opponent, showing his already growing power in DBFZ. It’s not like his opponent was a slouch, either - that’s Punk, one of the best Street Fighter V and Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite players, he’s dunking in this video. SonicFox is probably the last person anyone wants to see on the other side of their DBFZ match, and this clip shows exactly why.

The level 3s in DBFZ are lauded for the love they show towards the source material. Two of the most iconic level 3s in the game are the Captain Ginyu body-swap, and the Android 16 suicide explosion. Seeing the two of them in one match isn’t too far-fetched, but the way you’ll see them here certainly is. Let this be a lesson to all you tier-jockeys out there: don’t sleep on Captain Ginyu.

This clip is taken from a Reddit thread called “Training mode pays off!” and we thought it’d be important to reiterate this point. Sure, going into training mode and just doing combos isn’t the right way to use training (see the Low-Tier Hero on the subject) but it’s still important to have good execution. Here, the Android 18 player is able to skillfully convert of both their assists and finish off the opposing Hit player with a nice combo, culminating in a level 3.

We finish with a clip that mimics one of the most iconic fights throughout the series - between Teen Gohan and Perfect Cell. The battle culminates in an epic Kamehameha struggle between the two fighters, which Gohan ultimately wins after assists from his father, Goku. Here, we see the two players use their level 3s to combat one another, with Gohan ultimately winning again with a little help from Dad.
