If want to know more about Gohan this is the section for you! Let the story begin! ================== a.Sayjin Saga: ================== Gohan is a 5 year old boy. The son of Goku and Chi-Chi he holds extraordinary powers that not even he knows about. The first one to see these powers is Raditz who takes one in the stomach after seriously injuring Goku. After the defeat of Raditz (who Goku and Piccolo could not have defeated without Gohans help) Piccolo takes Gohan to train. Gohan trains in many ways for over a year, but saddly much of his training is left uncovered. Upon the arrival of Vegeta and Nappa, Gohan is one of the fighters who fights Nappa. However Gohan becomes scared and cannot fight him. Nappa sees this and tries to kill Gohan. Piccolo blocks the attack and sacrifices himself to save Gohan. In the fight with Vegeta, Gohan deflects Krillin's Spirit Bomb back to Vegeta thus saving Earth. ================== b.Namek Saga: ================== Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma decide to go to Namek to get the Dragonballs to wish back Piccolo and the others. On Namek Gohan saves Dende from Freeza's goons, collects several Dragonballs, and hides one from a recoporated Vegeta. Gohan also sees Guru to get his power level raised. In the fight with Recome Gohan saves Vegeta's life. Gohan is present in the the fight with Freeza and tears him up in his second form. Gohan is the reason Freeza goes to his third form. After Goku goes super sayjin and is fighting Freeza, Goku is knocked out. Gohan fights Freeza and buys Goku the time he needs to recover, saving Goku's life. =================== c.Android Saga: =================== It has been a few years now and Gohan is 11. When the androids attack Gohan is right there ready to give his life for Earth, and in Trunk's timeline thats just what happens. Gohan doesn't fight much in this saga, instead, he takes care of Bulma, Chibi Trunks, and Goku. Chi-Chi has Gohan study, but he trains to fight the androids instead. Gohan also helps with the descovery of Cell. ================= d.Cell Saga: ================= Gohan celebrates his 12th birthday in this saga. Gohan also becomes a super sayjin in this saga and fights Cell. Gohan in a fight with Cell becomes enraged at Cell for hurting the people Gohan cares for and turns SSJ 2! Making Gohan the strongest fighter! Gohan easily bests Cell and punches him so hard that Cell reverts back to his previous form. Cell knowing he can't win self-destructs,but Goku transported him to King Kai's planet. Because of Cell's regeneratory powers, he comes back stronger than ever. Gohan and Cell fight and Cell fires a beam at Gohan. He doges the blast but it hits and nearly kills Trunks. Vegeta goes into a rage to kill Cell, but gets owned by Cell. Before he can deliver the final blast, Gohan jumps in the way and takes it in the arm, saving Vegeta's life once agin. Gohan with the help of the others defeats Cell and saves the world. ================================= e.Tournement/Babity/Buu Sagas: ================================= Seven years have passed and Gohan is now 19. Gohan goes on to high school at Orange Star City as a senior. On the way to school he encounters some bank robbers. He transforms and defeats them, but when he gets to school he realizes that everyone knows about the "Golden Fighter" and decides that it would be best if his friends didn't know about his powers. On the way home he comes up with a brilliant idea about how to fight crime and be "normal" at school. He decides to become a superhero! He goes to Bulma's to have the costume made and announces that he will become the Great Saiaman! Gohan fights crime with a girl named Videl. They slowly fall in love and then Videl finds out that Gohan was the Great Saiman. She agrees to keep his secret if he will train her and teach her how to fly and if he will enter in the World Martial Arts Tournament. Gohan agrees and enters the Tournament. During the Tournament Gohan is assulted by two odd men with an energy stealing device. Kabito revives Gohan and explains that he is a deciple of Shin, ruler of all the Kais (also known as Supreme Kai) and that the two men worked for Babity, a wizard trying to restore the ultimate evil Majin Buu. When Majin Buu is revived he knocks out Gohan. Shin finds him and takes him to train to defeat Buu. The Z sword breaks and elder kai comes out and increases Gohan's power. Gohan becomes the strongest unfused character in the story! Sadly Buu realizes this and absorbs Gohan. Gohan dies when Kid Buu destroys the world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2.Misc. Gohan game info ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In this section I will cover info about Gohan that is new to DBZ: B2 ==================== a.Transformations ==================== Adult Gohan has three transformations they are 1. Super Saiyan 2. Super Saiyan 2 3. Elder Kai Unlock Ability (Mystic) When fully transformed Gohan attack power goes up to 125% without any support capsules! ============= b.Costumes ============= Gohan has three costumes now they are Gt. Sayaman w/o helment, Piccolo's purple outfit, and Goku's orange and blue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3.Playing as Gohan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is for playing as Gohan in the game. All of Gohans moves Are listed in this section as well as stratigy and Capsules. ============= a.Stratigy ============= It is my belief that this game requires more knowledge about your character of choice than the last one. I believe that a knowledge of, and use of the characters non-energy combos will lead to a more effective victory than random Super Kamehamehas. I do not mean to say to not use energy attacks, by all means use them, but only when they can't be guarded aginst, like after a juggle or a guard break. I will now list some stratigies to help you more effectivly kill your opponent. Transform Wisely: Transforming may give an attack bonus it eats your energy and there is noy way to revert back without taking damage also sometimes transforming can interrupt your opponents combo. Wouldn't be ashame if you lost because you squandred your transformations? Flash Kamehameha: As you all know when you transform near your opponent you preform a guard break where he or she cant do anythig and is overwhelmed by your power. Take advantage of this time and blast em' (they can't doge it). Kamehameha Tactics: If your opponent is dashing towards you use a Kamehameha they can't doge it it (if they are close) be careful with this one. Energy Knockback: When your opponent is dashing and about to preform an attack and you want to conserve your ki, use a ki blast when they get at point blank. The force will litterally launch them across the room, giving you a chance to take the offence. Dash Weary: Don't overuse your dash attacks. Odds are if you can interrupt there dash attacks they can figgure out how to do it to you. Chrage Cancel: You can cancel charge attacks by tappin "G". With practice you'll be able to Cancel and doge with one tap of "G" (and up or down of course). Linking Combos: The mother of all energy conservers stratigy. You can "link" multiple comboes by canceling charges and doging and starting new combos it is possible to "link" right into an unblokable Super Kamehameha with practice. ================ b.Full Combos ================ These are all of Gohan's combos (no "linked" combos). If I missed any send it to me with damage and I'll put it up and give you credit.

Note: All damages total and do not appear in practice mode the way I have them. For some reason the practice mode computer resets the damage indicator in the middle of a combo. Note2: All combos single powered and done in lowest trnsformation possible. To find "doubble powered" damage multiply by 1.5. ============================ c.Special Abilities ============================ In this section I will describe and rate Gohan's abilities baised on how well I believe they are. Keep in mind that this is MY oppinion and will not tolerate flames from people who disagree. Kamehameha - 1 Ki guage - rating: 5/5 - Gohan fires a cool (as in temp.) blue beam from his hands - I love this attack. Cheap at 1k (Ki) and very usefull. Perfect for counter attacking or increasing dammage after other attacks. My fav thing to is to doge behind a dash attack and pop one on them (especially Suber Buu). Super Kamehameha - 3k - rating: 2/5 - Gohan pours almost all of his power into one supercharged Kamehameha that engulfs the opponent and deals massive dammage to your opponent - My least favorite move. I can never seem to nail this one and always lose the ki so I figure that its not worth it. I don't believe I have ever been able to use this on my friend. Zanku Fist - 1k - rating: 4/5 - Gohan unleahes a series of punches and kicks in true DBZ style - Another favorite of mine. I love the way the movie looks and the cost is easy to meet. I almost always land the attack it looks cool. Continuous Kamehameha - 2k - rating: 4/5 - Gohan launches a barrage of ki blasts - Very powerful. Probably the second strongest attack Gohan has. It can charge to go through blocks on the last hit of the punches too. The only reason this attack is a 4 is because it is not true to the show. Gohan (as an adult) never used it. As a matter of fact Vegeta made the attack and Gotenks used it once. They were the only two. Super Dragon Fist - 2k - rating: 3/5 (ground) 5/5 (air) - Gohan unleashes a firce barrage of punches and kicks endind with a barrage of punches to the chest - On the ground this move is sub-par, but this one rocks in the air. In the air this move is very versitile. After watching Gohan beat the snot outta someone and then knocking them back down to Earth you can a.Fire an undogeable Kamehameha b.Dash forward and time an undogeable dash attack or c.Dash and stop to unleash a Zanku Fist or Continuous Kamehameha for maximum dammage. ============== d.Speed ============== A very important factor both in the show and the game is the factor of speed. It was speed that gained Cell a victory over Trunks and it is speed that may gain your victories. There are two kinds of speed in this game: Punch and Kick speed (PKS), and Dash speed (DS). You cannot change DS (at least on Gohan). But PKS can be slightly increased. Every time you transform, Gohan's PKS will increase slightly. The incraments are probably less than five percent, so it is very easy to miss. ================= e.Capsule List ================= These are all the capsules the Gohan can use (that I have).If I missed any send it to me and I'll give you credit. Transformation: Super Saiyan (110%) Super Saiyan 2 (115%) Elder Kai Unlock Ability (125%) Ability: Kamehameha (Projectile/Death Move) Super Kamehameha (Ultimate) Physical: Zanku Fist Continuous Kamehameha Super Dragon Fist Jackhammer Smash Support: Breakthrough (all moves) Kami's Outfit (+10% Def.) King Kai's "" (+20% Def.) Grand Kai's "" (+30% Def.) Z-Sword (+10 Att.) Saiyan Heritage (Att. and Def. up after Sensu) 1/3 Sensu (last life bar refilled) Sensu Bean (life refilled) Viral Heart Disease (Both players lose life) Vaccine (Negates Viral Heart Disease) Super Holy Water (take reduced damage) Kibito's Revival Power (reduce damage by using ki) Mixed Blood Power (Att and Def up +8) Rage! (+12 Att for 10 sec.) Rage!! (+20 Att for 20 sec.) Rage!!! (+28 Att for 30 sec.) Serious! (Att up on 1/3 life) Serious!! (Att up on 1/2 life) Serious!!! (Att up on 2/3 life) Power Near the Limit (Att up greatly on 1/6 life) Potential (Att increases on fixed intervals) Super Kami Water (Att up but health constantly drains) Gero's Perpetual Energy R and D (Ki is Max, can't transform) Gero's Deflection (Deflect by holding "G") Gero's Deflect-Back (Deflect-Back by holding "G") Gero's Energy (Ki increases when you deflect a blast) Meditation (Suppresses energy consumption) Yakon (when transformed, energy drains faster) Chi-Chi's Wish (Ki constantly goes up) ===================== f. Cap. Suggestions ===================== Here I will go over the different stiles of Gohan's you can have. If you have a Gohan you would like to submit other than what I already have and breakthroughs I will gladly accept them. Just be sure to have a description. My Gohan: Super Saiyan Super Saiyan 2 Elder Kai Unlock ability Super Kamehameha x 2 Kamehameha Z-Sword My Gohan revolves aroud the principle that a characters strongest moves don't consume ki. Super Kamehameha doubble powered to be linked into and Kamehameha to get out of some sticky situations. The Z-Sword is nice to give those punches and kicks another ten percent and is cheap at only one slot. Variation: Kami's Outfit or Mixed Blood Power in place of Z-Sword to help defence instead of attack. Defence Gohan: Super Saiyan Super Saiyan 2 Elder Kai Unlock ability Kamehameha Kami's Outfit Mixed Blood Power Kibito's Revival Power This Gohan works on having a good defence. With Kami's Outfit and MBP defence is shooting throught he roof at 118% and attack is at a 133% max. Add that to the fact that you will be taking reduced damage and you are set for life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4.Version Info ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 11/17/03-ver. 0.80 Wrote first draft 12/13/03-ver. 1.30 Started Movelist 12/14/03-ver. 2.50 Finished Movelist; created Cap. list, Cap. suggestions, and stratigy 12/24/03-ver. 2.6 Added Speed section, fixed some format problems, updated contact info 1/14/04-ver. 3.0 Added move descriptions, fixed some errors ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5.Legal Info ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This document is copyright by me it can only be seen on Gamefaqs.
