This Vegeta has many system moves inspired or taken directly from various fighting games, such as Capcom VS SNK, Marvel VS Capcom or King of Fighters. You may already be familiar with most of these moves.
Backward Dash :
This is a classic back dash, allowing Vegeta to move far from the opponent pretty quickly.
Run :
This is the classic KOF-type run. Hold Forward in order to keep running.
Super Jump :
This is the classic MVC Super Jump, allowing Vegeta to jump much higher than usual. It can be performed by just pressing Up after a crouching strong punch, in order to follow up for an aerial combo. During the Super Jump state, you can control the forward and backward velocity by pressing Forward or Back.
Air Dash : or in the air.
This is a useful tool to gain more mobility in the air, to dodge some of the opponent's attacks or go close to him quickly for example.
Power Charge :
This is the classic Power Charge, during which you gain power quickly, in order to use your Super moves.
Focus Hammer :
This move is a variation to Street Fighter 4's Focus Attack. Hold both buttons to charge the move, release them to perform it. Here are Focus Hammer's various features :
- Repels projectiles. You need to release the buttons at the right time to repel the projectile. Works on single non super projectiles.
- Chargeable for Hyper Armor (1 hit). You still lose life when hit though.
- Can be Dash Cancelled, during charge as well as during strike. This allows you to dash the moment you hit your opponent with Focus Hammer, and follow quickly with other attacks.

Vegeta has a bunch of moves that will work only against compatible characters, to give more of a fullgame "feeling".
Dash Collision :
Compatible against : Goku Z2, Vegeta Z2, Gohan Z2, Awoken Ichigo by Storm-Ex, Alucard by Dope, Yellow Suika by Veanko (Bluestreak by Diepod & Jesuszilla).

Optional animations :
There are a few other optional animations which you can include in your characters to make them compatible with Vegeta Z2 :

Vegeta has a lot of combos in his arsenal, and this is his main weapon to win fights.
- All basics can be chained from Light to Medium to Hard, or from Light to Hard, with any combination of kicks and punches.
- Standing light attacks link to crouching light punch.
- Standing Strong Kick (s.SK) can be linked into itself up to 3 times. The 3rd hit knocks the opponent down.
- During Aerial Light Kick (a.LK), you can hold the kick button so Vegeta stays in attack position, to ease hitting the opponent.
- Piston Kick (a.SK) bounces an airborn opponent to the ground, allowing some juggling. It makes the opponent bounce only once in a single combo though, to avoid cheapness.
- All the specials can be chained into from most basic attacks.
- All the supers can be chained into from at least one special attack.
