Of all the characters inDragon Ball FighterZ, Adult Gohan has one of the highest skill ceilings. There aren’t many fighters in theDragon Ball FighterZ’sbase game roster with a wide array of moves and various mechanics like DLC characters have (UI Goku), but Adult Gohan is one of those exceptions.
Thanks to Adult Gohan’s Potential Unleashed Super, players have seven different transformation levels that give Adult Gohan damage boosts and access to never-before-seen combos. Supported by his Potential Unleashed skill, Adult Gohan can unleash flashy combos that erase opponents' health bars.
Potential Unleashed Levels, Explained
Level 1
Players can unlock the first level of Potential Unleashed by performing236L+M (236R1 for the controller).Gamers can also input236H+S (236R2 for the controller) and hold H+S (R2)to unlock multiple levels of Potential Unleashed at once.
At the first level of this transformation, Gohan instantly gains access to a larger kit in terms of options and moves. For example, Adult Gohan’s initial ground combo is modified, dealing more damage and forcing the enemy intovulnerability for Supers or other attacks.Here’s what Level 1 does:
Level 2
At Potential Unleashed Level 2, Gohan starts to gain access to damage boosts. Level 2 is a stage that players will generally transform past, spending at least two bars of Ki to reach Potential Unleashed Level 3. If players have at least two bars of Ki before transforming at all, they can hold down the Potential Unleashed Super to reach Level 2. This grants the player all the Level 1 benefits along with the Level 2 damage boost.
Level 3
At this point, Gohan simply starts to break the rules of the game. Potential Unleashed Level Three unlocks a second airdash for Gohan, meaning that he can either airdash twice, or double-jump and then airdash once.
This allows players to create even more unique combos with the combination of Potential Unleashed Level One’s features. There is another increase in damage with Level Three, which makes the half-Saiyan character even more dangerous with his third transformation. Players will gain
Level 4
Just like Potential Unleashed Level Two, Level Four is generally skipped. It only gives players a damage boost and access to another hit while attacking with the heavy version of Jet Uppercut. If players have four bars of Ki though, it is recommended to spend them to achieve this level ASAP.

Level Four of Potential Unleashed adds another 2% increase to Gohan’s damage output, meaning that there is a damage increase total of 6% so far. The additional hit with Jet Uppercut (heavy variant) allows Gohan to stack up numbers in his combos, as well as potentially make room for assists to make combos last even longer.
Level 5
Level Five is where Gohan truly unmasks his danger to his opponents, as it gives Gohan full access to Reverse Beat. Gohan is one of three different characters that are able to manipulate the power of Reverse Beat.
The other two are Vegito and Golden Frieza, who both are limited to Reverse Beat’s effects. Adult Gohan is the one character that can maintain Reverse Beat’s ability. Reverse Beat allows Gohan to cancel out any regular normal attacks into other attacks that haven’t been used in the combo string. With this, Adult Gohan’s combo potential skyrockets.
Level 6
Level 6 doesn’t grant Gohan any additional features that are important to note. Its bonuses are exactly the same as those received at Potential Unleashed Level 4:
Level 7
At Level Seven, opponents may as well give up. Adult Gohan not only has a 10% increase to his damage in total, but now is granted full permission to simply break the game at his will.
Potential Unleashed Level Seven unlocks the ability to cancel special moves into other special moveson block or hit(so long as they haven’t been used in the combo already). With this ability, Gohan can now bring forth the best of his moves' potential, airdash twice, use Reverse Beat, and cancel specials into other specials. He truly is a prodigy in thisdifficult fighting game.
