Gogeta

Gogeta is the Metamoran fusion between the Saiyans Goku and Vegeta (not to be confused with their Potara fusion, Vegito). First appearing in the 1995 animated special Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn (The Rebirth of Fusion!! Goku and Vegeta in Japan), and at first considered a "non-canon" character, Gogeta would go on to become a part of the main franchise's story following the release of Dragon Ball Super: Broly in 2019.

Appearance
Gogeta takes on the features of both Goku and Vegeta, becoming more apparent when observing both halves of his face independently of one another. In his Dragon Ball Z appearance, he stands as tall as Goku and retains his lighter skin, while obtaining Vegeta's more dense muscle mass and widow's peak hairline. Gogeta's hairstyle is most reminiscent of Vegeta's, save for the single bang running downward from the peak. He dons a black vest with orange neck and shoulder-pads; baggy, light-gray pants and a blue sash; and black arm-guards between his elbow and wrist on each arm. In his Super Saiyan form, his aura glows yellow, as well as his hair and eyebrows, while his irises retain the typical green color associated with the form. In his Super Saiyan 4 form, his hair becomes much more pronounced, running down the shoulders and along the length of his back, spiking upward and forward over his face, while turning from yellow to a crimson red. His irises turn from green to a lighter blue color, and regains the pupils that would normally be absent; thick, dark lines outline his eyes, and his eyebrows fade from yellow to a darker red color. He also becomes noticeably hairier than his Super Saiyan form, growing a dark red fur along his chest, abdomen, and the lengths of his arms, while also sprouting a tail from the base of his spine. His only change in wardrobe as compared to his previous form is the removal of the longer, black arm-guards, and the addition of Goku's blue wristbands.

Gogeta remains as one of the strongest and most divisive characters in the game's history, alongside characters such as Arale, Broly (LSSJ), Super Android 13, and Omega Shenron. With a decent track record in his Super Saiyan form, and an unmatched record in his Super Saiyan 4 form, Gogeta is the cause for a fair amount of hype by the people who like him, while simultaneously drawing vitriol and anger from the people who detest him.

While both of Gogeta's forms in this game would normally be separate in the vanilla game, the lightly modded version of the game as viewed during TheGreatTeacher streams allows for Super Gogeta to transform into Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, but only in the rarest of circumstances. SSJ4 Gogeta can also appear in a match as a result of characters Goku (SSJ4) and Vegeta (SSJ4) performing the Fusion technique during a Doubles tournament match.

As Super Gogeta, his fighting style and moveset are heavily inspired by the Fusion Reborn movie, with intricate visual design for his move effects and flashy melee combos. He uses the Super moves "Big Bang Kamehameha" and "Super Explosive Wave", along with the Ultimate move "Stardust Breaker". His attack patterns are some of the most unique in the game, with little to no overlap with other fighters. His damage output is above average, but his combat AI leaves something to be desired. Super Gogeta also holds the spot for second most potential Ultimate damage; with the use of his Finish Sign skill, his Ultimate move can deal anywhere between 17,000 to 22,000 damage - a guaranteed death sentence for most fighters if struck with this move.

In his Super Saiyan 4 form, Gogeta retains the use of "Big Bang Kamehameha" while trading his second Super move for "Ultimate Breaker", a Rush move that deals more damage than most other fighters' Ultimate move. Instead of "Stardust Breaker", he gains the use of "100x Big Bang Kamehameha", a stronger version of his Super move that deals considerably more damage, ~16,000 on average; however, if used in tandem with his Power Up to the Very Limit skill, the move has potential to peak at ~20,000 damage. His melee moveset becomes much faster, with higher base damage and more intelligent combat AI, and his throw is replaced with a variant of Goku's throw, while causing much more damage than the former.

TheGreatTeacher streams
While Super Gogeta is held with high regard by a large fraction of the community, Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta is just as divisive here as he is with any casual players of the game. While most of the stream attendees view him with scorn and dissatisfaction, he also pulls in the highest betting average, only very rarely being seen as the underdog in a match. An appearance by SSJ4 Gogeta in a tournament has ended with his victory as the grand champion more often than any other character in the stream's history, rivaled only by the likes of Broly LSSJ and Arale. The outcry against him will reach critical mass most often during the Grand Championship match, where posting of the Gogeta copypasta becomes more frequent than any other post.

Despite the "heel" status given to him by the community, he still manages to create a fair amount of hype in specific matches. For example, at any time Gogeta comes up against Broly in the tournament, The Great Teacher is obligated to play the Dragon Ball Super: Broly track Broly vs. Gogeta on stream, and the audience will be quick to quote every part of the song in the Twitch chat. This will happen regardless if Super Gogeta or SSJ4 Gogeta is making the appearance.

Gogeta Copypasta
"Wow, I can't fucking wait for Gogeta to win. AGAIN. Jesus Christ that arrogant fuck thinks he's so fucking tough by picking on unprepared players, what a load of shit. What's the point of having a tourney if we know what the result will be anyways."

''"Well look at this, Gogeta is gonna win again. You know why? He's the most busted-ass character in the entire game, and it's not fair as fuck. All of these damn characters sweat their asscheeks ass to win this tournament and Gogeta comes in here with his Monkey Bitch form and does an ability that is AF-Tier. Jackie Chun can beat all of the fighters in the Tenkaichi Budokai, yet here's fucking Gogeta coming in with his damn overpowered ass." ''-Coined by viewer bruhimglowing

"Y'know, SSJ4 Gogeta is probably the most offensive character I've ever seen in a video game. Seriously, the fact that this overpowered non-canon fucker can come in and just shit all over canon just makes my blood boil. Toriyama didn't create all of these legendary characters like Broly and Cooler just for theme to lose to a godamn furry. I can't wait until the day he jobs to Hercule."

"AHHYESSIR My boy THE BIG GOGET4 is gonna main event the BIGGEST TOURNAMENT OF BUDOKAI TENKAICHI 3 live on the award winning TEACH TWITCH CHANNEL available for FREE every Not-Thursday, where he will PURGE every other unfortunate NPC and become the best fusion for the upteenth time in his career."
