----V.C: Gotenks----
Gotenks is the warrior created when Goten, Gokuu's second son, and Trunks,
Vegita's son, fuse together. They were taught how to fuse by Gokuu to combat
the then-evil Buu. Later, with enough training, Gotenks was able to go SSJ 3,
and devised many ingenious attacks, along with several very stupid ones.
Move list:
Hold L (or R) + Y = Ultra Headbutt (3-D Attack). Gotenks hops into the
background, rushes his opponent, and kicks them. As with all the 3-D attacks,
this one has it's uses (dodging heat-seeking attacks, Super Ki Blasts, etc).
8/10
Down-Towards + Y = Head Sliding. Gotenks slides on the ground, smashing into
the enemy with his thick cranium. A good attack, since it leaves you right in
position to start a combo. 8/10
Down-Towards + Y, Then (after contact) Towards, Down, Away + Y = Sliding
Headbutt, Flying Tackle (Omaenanka The End!). Gotenks smashes with his head,
then tackles the enemy. Good damage, and a decent combo by itself. 7/10
Away, Down, Towards + Y = Rolling Thunder Uppercut. Gotenks spins his arm
around and around, then jumps up with an uppercut. If all the hits connect,
then the other guy's in for a lot of pain. If you miss, though, you're in a
really bad spot. 7/10
Down, Towards + Y = Wild Boar Attack. Gotenks sure uses his head (heads?) a
lot. He runs and jumps, landing with his head. Taken straight from the manga,
this attack knocks 'em flat. Not too good for combo's though. 6/10
(In Air) Towards, Away, Towards + A = Ki blast. Gotenks, while in the air, can
shoot a horizontal Ki blast. A great way to catch a jumping foe offguard. 8/10
Down, Towards + A = Renzoku Energy Dan. Gotenks fires off 3 rapid ki blasts. A
nice, quick attack to catch the enemy if they're trying to do a super or
desperation. 7/10
Down, Towards, Down, Towards + A = Renzoku Shine! Shine! Missle (Super Multi
Renzoku Energy Dan). Gotenks goes ballistic, firing off a whopping 11 ki
blasts. Even if they block, it's massive damage. If you miss, though, you're
wide open for a long time. 7/10
*Away, Down, Towards + A = Kiko-Ha. Gotenks' 45 degree Ki blast is, well, your
run of the mill blast. It's good in its own right. 7/10
**Down, Away, Towards + A = Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack. Gotenks' 3 level super
blast is actually 3 Kamikaze ghosts. For every level, he spits out another
ghost. These ghosts are heat seeking, and can juggle the enemy. These also
cancel regular Ki blasts, special Ki blasts, and weaker supers. 10/10
%Towards, Away, Down, Towards + Y = Desperation attack: Galactic
Donuts/Volleyball smash (Gekitotsu Ultra Buu Buu Volleyball). Gotenks'
desperation has him firing 3 of his galactic donuts, which, if they hit, will
encase the enemy in a volleyball. Very nice, since this one is just like a Ki
blast, and will actually beat a larger Ki blast (Kamehame-ha, Final Flash, etc.)
It's also quick, so you don't leave yourself open for long periods of time.
10/10
Overall:
Gotenks is good at catching you off guard. He can rush you with a headbutt,
surprise you with a Kamikaze Ghost, or just throw Ki blasts until you puke. The
trick is, go all offensive with him. His short stature make him hard to hit,
especially when he ducks, so you can dodge attacks left and right, and come
back, fists a' flyin'. His special attacks aren't that great, just like they
were in the manga (and the show), but a couple of them are really devastating
(Ghosts, Desperation). |
