Super Saiyan is an Awoken Skill used by Goku, Goku (GT), Gohan (Teen), Gohan (Adult), Goten, Trunks (GT), Trunks (Kid), Nappa, Gotenks, Vegito, Future Trunks, Bardock, Broly (Restrained) and Saiyan CaCs. Gohan (Teen), Gogeta (Super Saiyan), Caulifla, Broly, and Kale start out visually transformed, but don't actually have the benefits of the transformation.
In Game Data[]
- Description: "Turn into a Super Saiyan and power up! The more Ki you have the higher the level when you can tranform! (3 max)"
- Ki Used: 300
- Obtained from: training with Vegeta in Capsule Corporation time rift
Properties[]
Transforming into a Super Saiyan requires a minimum of 300 Ki for the first level, 400 for Super Saiyan 2, and 500 for Super Saiyan 3. Each next stage will grant you a stronger bonus, but will also reduce your Ki gain further. Additionally, while you are transformed into a super saiyan, chargable ki blast skills will teleport you to your enemy on full charge, light attacks will have a short step vanish instead of regular step and fully charged attacks will teleport user a fair distance forward. The transformation will last until it is disabled by its user, the user is knocked out or the skill is sealed by Remote Serious Bomb.
Super Saiyan grants 10% melee/strike damage boost, 5% ki blast damage boost and reduces damage taken from physical attacks by 5%.
Super Saiyan 2 grants 15% melee/strike damage boost, 7.5% ki blast damage boost, 10% physical damage reduction and 5% ki blast damage reduction, as well as further reduce ki gain.
Super Saiyan 3 grants 20% melee/strike damage boost, 10% ki blast damage boost, 15% physical damage reduction and 10% ki blast damage reduction, but ki gain is reduced almost to zero. Due to a glitch, this awoken form greatly increases stamina regeneration while standing on solid ground. Beast does the same, as the glitch is tied to the unique standing pose.
While Goku, Teen Gohan, Goten, Restrained Broly, Trunks and Future Trunks have custom Super Saiyan hair, CaCs will only have their hair and eyes recolored for Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2, with them all receiving the same hairstyle for Super Saiyan 3. Additionally, Super Saiyan 3 changes the user's idle stance, and although this effect should be only cosmetic, it appears to be the reason behind the increased stamina regeneration glitch. Transforming into Super Saiyan 3 will make both Goku and CaCs say "This is Super Saiyan 3" unlike all other Super Saiyan forms which only have grunts.
Gogeta (DB Super) is able to instantly transform into a Super Saiyan in the middle of a combo. So far, he is the only character that is capable of doing so.
Broly (Restrained) has to transform into a Super Saiyan in order to use Gigantic Explosion or advance the strength and effects of his Super Attacks. After he transforms, he can't change back until he is defeated.
Usage Tips[]
Since Super Saiyan is a primarily melee based skill, it is recommended for Saiyan Strikers. Since the transformation doesn't drain any resource, it may be tempting to activate as soon as possible and keep it on, but in a situation where you can't use a charge, the ki gain reduction may be too much of a downside, especially if you use a lot of skills. The tranformation is relatively quick, but it is possible to perfect block the shockwave from it and break the user with a charged attack, so to be more safe it is recommended to use it after a grab or a knockback. For PvE it's more viable to stay transformed all the time by using energy charges, although another option that is also PvP viable is Divinity Unleashed. As long as you can activate the buff of Divinity Unleashed, it can completely mitigate the ki gain debuff from the skill and allow you to earn a lot of ki with regular melee attacks. Cabba's Super Soul, "I'll make you regret that!" is a very viable soul for this transformation due to it greatly increasing melee damage.
All in all Super Saiyan is a well balanced form with the drawback of slow Ki recovery. This forms main benefit is buffing basic melee attacks, and strike skills.
Cast Usage[]
To reflect their knowledge of individual forms, most of the time everyone in the roster have special versions of Super Saiyan with limited access to each indiviual form, i.e. Cell Saga presets of Goku have a Super Saiyan that only reaches level 1, but Buu saga presets can go up to 3. Strangely, Future Trunks (Super) despite starting in base can only transform into Super Saiyan 2, unlike Adult Gohan, who can transform into both 1 and 2.
- Goku: Turtle Hermit Gi (Go) 3 up to Turtle Hermit Gi (No Character) 2, Super Saiyan 1 only. Turtle Hermit Gi (No Character) 3 up to Turtle Hermit Gi (Go) 5, Super Saiyan 1 to 3.
- Goku (GT): Super Saiyan 1 and 3 only.
