Majin Buu In Versus And Online Matches
Majin Buu is a very resilient character meant to outpace your opponent with its regenerative abilities. The longer the fight goes on, the better for you, since you need only the slightest of openings to use your Sleep skill and recover a lot of health in an instant.
His Ultimate attack is a fantastic way to finish a match, since it covers a wide range around you, and it can’t be blocked. A good way to enter Sparking Mode without too much hassle is through Sleep, since it also fully charges your Ki bars.

Evil Buu In Versus And Online Matches
Evil Buu is, in many ways, the inferior version of all the Buus. His Breath abilities are hard to connect, and he only has a max of four Skill Count, so given the choice, you are better off using any of the other Buus of the family.

R2/RT + Circle/B (when in Sparking Mode) |
Full Ki Bar |
Huge and unblockable area-of-effect explosive wave that deals two bars and a half of damage. |
Super Buu In Versus And Online Matches
Super Buu is extremely similar to Majin Buu, with ways to paralyze your enemies, regeneration and a wide range unblockable Ultimate. Said Ultimate does significantly more damage than most abilities, although it also leaves you at death’s door, so be sure to use Regeneration right after it connects.

|
Super Kamehameha |
R2/RT + Circle/B (when in Sparking Mode) |
Full Ki Bar |
Beam Ultimate that does two bars of damage. |
Super Buu (Gotenks Absorbed) In Versus And Online Matches
The version of Buu with a few of Gotenks’ moves is by far the best out of this line, at least regarding the trio that makes up Super Buu’s character. This is due to the new toys like Explosive Wave and Galactic Donut Volley, while still keeping the key skill Regeneration.
Explosive Wave is a great defensive tool in its own right, available to several characters as well, but Galactic Donut Volley requires more explanation to understand why it is good. It is an unblockable Super that only costs three Skill Count, meaning you can spam it constantly and have your opponent at your feet.

|
Majin Beam |
R2/RT + Triangle/Y |
4 Ki Bars |
Fires an unblockable medium range Beam Super that does a bar of damage. |
|
Super Ghost Buu Attack |
R2/RT + Circle/B (when in Sparking Mode) |
Full Ki Bar |
Fire several unblockable projectiles that trigger a scene, dealing two bars of damage. |
Super Buu (Gohan Absorbed) In Versus And Online Matches
While this version of Super Buu is the most powerful one from the series, it is a bit lackluster in Sparking Zero. Instead of useful skills, this Buu only has a few buffs, and while Majin Beam and Super Ghost Buu Attack are unblockable attacks, they aren’t as easy to use as Galactic Donut Volley from the previous version; you’re better off never transforming into this Buu.

R2/RT + Circle/B (when in Sparking Mode) |
Full Ki Bar |

Kid Buu In Versus And Online Matches
In terms of raw stats, this is the best Buu by far, and it has the best regenerative ability only present before on Majin Buu: Sleep. That, alongside Instant Transmission, makes Kid Buu one of the better characters in the game when it comes to skill distribution.
His other skills are fairly average, although they certainly pack a punch. Much like Majin Buu, an easy way to access your Ultimate is to use Sleep, then you will only need to charge the Sparking up, although this requires you to have five Skill Counts to spare.
