To perform the finish, players need to choose the Canyon stage and have Base Goku land the finishing blow on Base Vegeta. If done correctly, an angry Vegeta will fly into the air and launch his Galick Gun. Goku will launch his Kamehameha to intercept it as a beam struggle occurs. Goku wins the battle by upping his Kaioken to times four, launching Vegeta into the atmosphere.
