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". (Note: This rendition of Broly is not "canon" contrary to the variation that appears in Dragon Ball Super: Broly.)
As a DLC character in Dragon Ball FighterZ, Broly is a massive brute who uses a combination of powerful blows, command grabs, and attacks imbued with super armor to punish his opponents.
Strengths/Weaknesses
Strengths |
Weaknesses
|
- Has a very strong neutral game, with normals that have long reach, ki blasts that are fast and good for poking opponents, and armor on moves that allow him to challenge opponents that approach.
- 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, making him a nightmare to deal with in the corner.
- Good buttons; has decent speed with massive range and priority.
- 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 236L/M/H 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 both for extending combos and blockstrings.
- One of the more useful Lvl 3 supers in the game.
- HIS POWER IS MAXIMUM
- HIS POWER IS MAXIMUMER
- HIS POWER IS MAXIMUMIST
|
- Unarguably has the largest hurtbox in the game due to his very large size. Because of this and his lack of defensive options, he struggles against characters with strong pressure and mixup tools.
- His combos scale a lot; has to win neutral multiple times in order to down an opponent. Because of this, he's very reliant on assists in order to maximize his damage output.
- His grab is very slow, making it reactable. This makes his main mixup game very inconsistent against competent players.
- Can be a bit of a meter hog, as Broly really needs to keep corner to be the most effective, so Vanishes or other things will be used frequently to make sure that he gets to keep that pressure.
