Dragon Ball Z: Kakarotemerges as an action-based RPG revival of the fighting game series. In-game, players also get to take part in epic battles from the anime. In particular, fans can relive one of the most important fights in the series: the firstconfrontation with Vegeta, prince of all Saiyans.
This battle immediately follows victory in the Nappa boss fight during the story. Tired of Nappa’s weakness, Vegeta will leap into the fray to face Goku himself. Mirroring the anime arc, players will fight Vegeta here once in his regular form and once in his Great Ape form as Goku.

Vegeta’s Moveset
During bothDragon Ball Z: Kakarotfights, Vegeta will use an onslaught of melee and ranged attacks on Goku. Moving in an appropriate direction will allow players to counter most attacks.
Because of Vegeta’s moveset, especially the last two moves, it is ill-advised to normally run into melee range. Instead, players should dodgehis Galick Gun and other ranged attacksthat can break their guard and use ki blasts until he attempts a move up-close. After evading his close combat attack, counter and dash away before Vegeta can retaliate. Additionally, once Vegeta’s rage phase passes, he will become immobilized for a short period and vulnerable to special attacks.
Great Ape Vegeta’s Moveset
Likein theDBZanime, Vegeta will use a more limited set of attacks after transforming into a Great Ape.
Despite his size, Ape Vegeta is very squishy and closing the gap with Goku will quickly bring him down. Once Goku is done monkeying around with Vegeta, they will haveput a weakened Vegeta down for the count.
