Goku (Super Saiyan 4, DAIMA) Joins DRAGON BALL FighterZ

The roster of DRAGON BALL FighterZ continues to evolve with the arrival of Goku (Super Saiyan 4, DAIMA).

Revealed alongside full gameplay footage, this new DLC fighter brings an aggressive, momentum‑driven playstyle built around Wild Dash, a versatile move that branches into four distinct techniques:

• Double Combination – A pressure-heavy strike that’s difficult to counter even on block
• Raging Strike – Launches opponents upward and enables Super Dash follow‑ups
• Power Swing – A command throw that breaks guards (but won’t hit crouching foes)
• Quick Move – A fast advance with invincibility frames, ideal for shutting down counters

Goku (SS4, DAIMA) joins DRAGON BALL FighterZ on April 22, adding a new layer of offensive depth for competitive and casual players alike.

DRAGON BALL FighterZ is available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
