Overview

The ultimate creation of the mad scientist, Dr. Gero. Cell is a bio-android, created using the DNA of some of Universe 7's strongest fighters (Frieza, Goku, Vegeta, Tien, Etc.), each of which change his personality (Goku's lust for battle, and Frieza's evil heart being examples of such). Cell is capable of gaining power through absorbing people into his being and, upon absorbing Androids 17 and 18, he attained his "Perfect" form, making him one of the most powerful and dangerous villains in the world, who would've destroyed the Earth if not for Gohan who, as an adolescent, defeated him.

In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Cell is a dangerous, well-rounded fighter with a deadly combination of attacks that can hurt at any range, a strong mix-up game, and excellent ground and aerial abilities. His main weakness is the fact that, should his attacks miss their mark, he can leave himself wide open to punishment.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths

Weaknesses

Versatile; he has all of the tools to deal and adapt to just about any situation. Great meterless / assistless damage output, especially in the corner due to his loops. Has very powerful blockstrings and mixups due to his 3 lows, his 2 overhead specials, and his ranged command grab. Has long reaching normals (even involving his 5LL by itself) and multiple projectiles, making him a constant threat in the neutral. Has much better reward for landing a dragon rush compared to other characters. Voiced by Norio Wakamoto, so you can always count on him being top tier. He's perfect, dammit.

His great height gives him a tall hurtbox. His anti-air 2H has an ironically small hitbox, on top of having no meterless reversal. Very long recovery on his normals, making him susceptible to momentum shifts while also needing to commit to his more costly pokes. His assist's unique angle makes it not as useful as other, similar assists. He likes to torture his opponents as long as he can, so most of his attacks now drastically scale his combo damage; leads to having low combo reward and often requiring resources for bigger damage.

Assist

Kamehameha A1/A2 "Fine, how's this?"	Damage Guard Smash Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 200*5 All - 49 25 95 - Fires a Kamehameha downwards.
