Overview

"My power is rising. It's overflowing!"
Lore:The Legendary Super Saiyan born with a power-level of 10,000, Broly was considered too dangerous to live by King Vegeta, and was condemned to be executed alongside his father Paragus. In an act of sheer luck, Broly and his father survived Planet Vegeta's destruction. In order to live in secrecy, Paragus used energy restraining technology and mind control to keep Broly from rampaging. However, Broly is always triggered by the name "Kakarot", no matter how restrained he is. Causing chaos everywhere he went, he would hunt down Kakarot, the Saiyan that cried constantly next to him in the Saiyan nursery and drove him to insanity. He would be defeated on three occasions: first by Goku (AKA Kakarot), then by Goku's sons, and finally, by Goten, Trunks, and their allies when he was resurrected as "Bio-Broly". (Name trivia: Comes from English word "Broccoli". His father Paragus takes from English word "Asparagus".)

Playstyle

 Broly  Broly is a massive brute who uses a combination of powerful blows, command grabs, and attacks imbued with super armor to punish his opponents.

Pros
Cons
  • Arguably the best neutral in the game. His Ki Blasts beat every other non-beam Ki Blast in the game, he can nullify counterzoning completely with Powered Shell, and his armored moves have great range which allow him to bully his way in.
  • Not as limited in terms of movement; he benefits greatly from game mechanics for his archetype.
  • Versatile pressure options, with good blockstrings and a command grab in Gigantic Claw, making him a nightmare to deal with in the corner.
  • Has an anti-air command grab, which is a rarity in this game.
  • Broly's massive amount of armor on some of his buttons and all of his specials makes him a force to be reckoned with. He basically becomes + on every Vanish done on him, as he can do Lariat Express to quickly get out of the situation if they press buttons, and start his own pressure if they don't. This makes Broly a very scary character to pressure because almost any gap you leave him can give him an opportunity to armor out in various ways - though this is punishable.
  • Has a useful assist in Eraser Blow, making combo extensions and blockstrings a breeze. It beats Ki Blasts as a little cherry on top.
  • One of the most flexible Lvl 3 supers in the game with, in which he can also combo off of.
  • Pitiful damage scaling causes him to have low combo damage overall. Because of this, he is heavily reliant on managing resources in order to maximize his damage output.
  • Can be a bit of a meter hog, as Broly really needs to keep the corner to be the most effective. Vanishes or other things will be used frequently to make sure that he gets to keep that pressure, as well as level 3 supers because nothing else combos off of 214L.


Normal Moves

5L
  • Whiffs against smaller opponents at max range.
  • Broly's knee has a hitbox.
  • Can't chain into itself, even if holding 4.
5LL
  • Only attack in Broly's moveset that possesses normal proration values.
  • Steps forward during startup, increasing the range.

For most characters, this is a really good starter. For Broly, the damage this move leads to is almost unholy. Do not get hit by this.

5LLL
  • Switches sides on hit.
  • Cancelling into this from a blocked 5LL always leaves the opponent in too much blockstun for the throw to work.
5M

Aaaand... PELVIC THRUST!
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Has one hit of super armor.
  • Due to having armor, has higher proration level than other mediums.
  • Deceptive reach.
  • Punishable on block if not cancelled.
5H
5H

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Can be charged by holding down the button. Doing so makes Broly move forward further.
  • Has one hit of super armor.
  • Deceptive start up animation, looks very similar to his command grab (214 L/M/H).
5S
5S

Outzone the designated zoner as the grappler
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Any of the projectiles can be aimed upwards by holding 8 while firing.
  • Has priority over smaller Ki Blasts.
  • Only the last blast knocks down a standing opponent.
  • Will whiff if fired against crouching opponents at point blank range or at the corner during block strings.

Really, really good. This is a key part of Broly's neutral alongside 236S, as the ki blasts are very annoying for most characters to deal with in almost any capacity. Even if they superdash through, you can go right into 236S and armor the hit, and forcing them to still block against Broly. There's only a few moves that can directly challenge this, such as Trunks' 214S, but even then Broly is still in a pretty good spot versus them. Despite how simple this move is, it is easily one of the scariest moves Broly has, and gives him pressure that is very strong as all ranges of the screen.

  • Has super armor.
  • Due to having armor, has higher proration level than other mediums.
  • Deceptively fast for its range.
  • Only Broly's feet have a hitbox.

  • Aimed slightly upwards, so will often whiff if done during an instant airdash.
  • Can't chain into itself, even if holding 4.
j.M
j.M

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Has 1 tick of armor. This armor loses specifically to 2H, but not other head invulnerable attacks.
  • Aimed slightly downwards. Chaining into j.L during an instant airdash gives a double overhead.

5LLLLLLL
j.H
  • Has 1 tick of armor. This armor loses specifically to 2H, but not other head invulnerable attacks.
  • Lots of active frames.
  • Scratches on normal hit, dunks the opponent down to the ground on Smash hit.
  • Dunking can be followed up by j.214X or Lv3 due to Broly and the opponent staying airborne at the end of the move.
j.S

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • j.8S will aim down.
  • Has priority over smaller Ki Blasts.
  • Freezes Broly in place in the air while preserving his momentum; using j.S during an instant airdash or super jump has very different results.
j.2H

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Has 1 tick of armor. This armor loses specifically to 2H, but not other head invulnerable attacks.
  • Has slim horizontal range.
  • Slower than Adult Gohan's fast descent due to a delay at the start of the move.
  • Long delay on whiff.
  • Smash on air-to-air hit, gives a short sliding knockdown.

  • Used as a typical ender for meterless combos.
  • Leaves Broly airborne.
  • Broly does NOT turn around if you cross over with this, jump normals will whiff on the way down.
  • Tiger Kneeing this (2148) starts very low to the ground, achieving a similar effect to Vegito or 16's anti-air grabs. Broly will face the opponent afterwards as well.

Vegeta would be proud.
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Similar to SSJ Vegeta A assist, but kind of worse.
  • Projectiles destroy other ki blasts just like Broly's ki blasts normally do.
  • Very useful combo/pressure tool, however the angle is very low, which can make it somewhat difficult to use.
Assist C
Lariat Express

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Has armor so it's actually quite hard to punish unless you have a fully invincible DP or a beam.
  • Does not push to the corner.
  • Like all C-Assists, it has a lengthy cooldown; use with caution.

Super Moves

Eraser Cannon

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
L+M
  • Minimum damage is 120, 700.
  • Has one hit of super armor before the super freeze.
  • Fully invincible for a brief moment after the the super freeze.
  • Ki blasts invulnerable during the entire move.
  • Before Broly fires the projectile, he will throw out an uppercut. If the opponent is hit by this, the following projectile is guaranteed to combo.
  • Extremely slow and punishable if the initial uppercut whiffs.
  • When this move is cancelled out of for an Ultimate Z Change, Broly's attack will release after, allowing for specific follow ups with the character you are switching into.
H+S
  • Only throws the Ki blast, good for when L+M can't connect (midscreen)
Gigantic Meteor

214L+M or 214H+S (Air OK)

"Here's a present for you!"

"HAAAAHAHAHAHA!"
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
Ground L+M
Air L+M
  • Minimum damage in a combo: ~???. (needs updating as of S3 patch)around 1460.making it potentially lowest min dmg lv3 in the game, weaker then grounded A21 lv3 and Yamcha each being around 1500.
  • Does more damage if you get more of the small hits to connect on the way down, similar to Frieza's Death Ball.
  • Always flies at a 45 degree angle.
  • If performed on the ground, Broly quickly flies upwards at startup to a height that aims the ball directly at the opponent, can go up to about half the screen.
  • In the air, he will have little to no auto-height adjustment, regardless of where the opponent is/where he fired it from.
  • Broly is stuck in the animation until after the ball explodes, however once it does, he will teleport to the ground.
  • On Ultimate Z Change, Broly uses the ground version and tries to adjust himself to where the opponent is, making it a flexible lvl 3 to switch into.
Ground H+S
Air H+S
  • Minimum damage in a combo: ~1660.
  • The ball grows only once it connects with the opponent's vulnerable hitbox (on block or hit), and accelerates at a much slower rate than L+M version.
  • Broly recovers just a few moment after he releases the ball, allows him to continue the combo.
  • Always explodes when it hits the floor even without turning big.
  • Auto-adjustment is the same as L+M version.
  • The ball disappears if Broly is hit or Z Change, but not on block.
  • As of season 3, you can combo slow lvl 3 from M Lariat.


Damage calculation (WARNING: Math)

  • Descending part doesn't have minimum damage.
  • Without scaling, the explosion will do less damage the more hits the ball does on the way down. But due to minimum damages, during a combo, the whole super DOES gain more damage the higher Broly is.
  • L+M version have higher minimum damage than H+S version.
  • Look at this graph.
  • There are 4 tiers, [] values are H+S version:

1 to 12 hits

  • Raw: 100*0~11, 3500
  • Scaled (10%): 10*0~11, 1750 [1680]
  • 12 hits is the soft cap of the super, dealing the most damage it will ever achieve without getting crazy high up in the air. However, it is also unlikely to ever be seen in a combo. As the distance and height to achieve this tier is very finicky (Broly has to be close to the ground and at a certain range away)

13 to 22 hits

  • Raw: 100*10, 50*2~11, 2900
  • Scaled (10%): 10*10, 5*2~11, 1566 [1450]

23 to 32 hits

  • Raw: 100*10, 50*10, 25*2~11, 2700
  • Scaled (10%): 10*10, 5*10, 2*2~11, 1566 [1458]

33 hits and up

  • Raw: 100*10, 50*10, 25*10, 10*2~∞, 2500
  • Scaled (10%): 10*10, 5*10, 2*10, 1*2~∞, 1550 [1475]
  • Note: a H+S Gigantic Meteor falling from the top of the playing field can only do 89 hits (4830 raw and 1703 scaled)
