Kamehameha (かめはめ波, lit. Turtle Destruction Wave) is Goku's neutral special move.

Overview[edit]

Goku charges ki in his hands, progressively grunting "Ka...me...ha...me...", before unleashing a beam of energy at full charge with a final "HA!". Should the player not charge the beam up, it will instead be unleashed in a much smaller (and shorter) form, with Goku quickly shouting "Kamehameha!". The player can choose to unleash the move mid-charge, which will change the range and power of the attack.

Customization[edit]

Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the variations:

  1. Kamehameha: Default.

Like the other DLC characters, Goku lacks custom move variations.

Origin[edit]

Goku first performing the Kamehameha, as seen in the Dragon Ball manga.

The Kamehameha is the most iconic attack in Dragon Ball, appearing as its first energy-based attack. It is the most widely used finishing move in all of Dragon Ball, and is Goku's signature attack. It was invented by Master Roshi 50 years prior to the events of Dragon Ball, and was learned by Goku after witnessing Roshi use it to extinguish the flames at Ox-King's home on Fire Mountain. To Roshi's surprise, Goku successfully performs the technique on his first attempt, although it is only strong enough to destroy the car that Yamcha gave to Bulma.
