Master Roshi gameplay guide for Dragon Ball FighterZ
Our full breakdown of the Turtle Hermit and sensei to Goku, Master Roshi.
Team Synergy
Master Roshi is a unique and versatile character who can function anywhere fairly well on a team, but his greatest strength seems to be as a point character upfront. He can deal a lot of damage and build a lot of meter without needing to spend it himself if he doesn’t want to. Being upfront also gives him two targets he can use Mafuba on at the start of a match. He can also function very well as an anchor, with easy Sparkling touch-of-death setups and an even greater increase to his stacked damage output.
Like any other character in the game, beam assists can help Roshi out a lot. They can cover him when he uses his command jump, and while attempting Afterimage mixups. He can also benefit from lockdown assists, like Kid Buu’s Arm Ball which compliments his already strong lockdown moves — like Martial Spirit. Basically, any character can function well with Roshi. His incredibly strong B assist can also help other characters who struggle with neutral (like Nappa), giving them the time and space to get in close and apply pressure.
Final Thoughts
Overall, Roshi is an incredibly strong character with a lot of utility. This does come at the cost of ease of use, however, and experienced fighting game players will probably be able to get more out of him. Don’t let that discourage you if Dragon Ball FighterZ is the only fighting game you play, though. Being the most complicated character in a game like Dragon Ball FighterZÂ still puts him on the lower-end of difficulty when compared to characters from other games. If you like Master Roshi, just put in the practice and people will think you have been playing fighting games for years, even if you haven’t.
