List of techniques used by Vegeta

This is a list of notable techniques used by Vegeta which have appeared in the Dragon Ball manga, the anime series Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and Dragon Ball GT, and various video games spun off by the series. As a Saiyan, Vegeta is extremely powerful, being the greatest rival of Goku. He is also able to develop an abundant amount of energy-based techniques as the series progresses, and able to refine them into more powerful and effective techniques.

Physical and Natural Abilities

Main article: Saiyan Considered to be a prodigy, even amongst high-class warriors, Vegeta is the powerful Prince of all Saiyans, with his own strength even surpassing that of his father at a young age. As a Saiyan, Vegeta possesses a vast array of superhuman physical attributes, which he has trained to God-like levels through years of rigorous training.

Superhuman Strength: As a Saiyan, Vegeta possesses immense physical strength, far more advanced than that of any human being, and most alien races. He is strong enough to effortlessly break all Earthling-made materials or weapons, move in increased gravity without any discomfort, and even lift a suit capable of sinking through a planet. However his strength has limits, as even as a Super Saiyan he is not strong enough to even make the one thousand ton Magetta move.
Superhuman Speed: Even before gaining the ability to sense ki, Vegeta's reaction speed was immensely fast, being capable of reacting to fighters who could move at least at the speed of the Flying Nimbus.
Superhuman Durability: While naturally quite durable thanks to his Saiyan physiology, his natural body's durability has limits, as without his ki to protect him, even an energy wave from Krillin was capable of leaving him near death.
Superhuman Senses: Vegeta is able to think and react at extremely high speeds, easily able to dodge or catch projectiles fired from weapons, or even keep up with incredible combat speeds from his opponents. As a Saiyan, Vegeta also has enhanced senses of smell, taste and sight, which further increase his combat senses and instincts.
