"I'm not short-sighted like my brother. I will be sure to exterminate every last one of you!"
Cooler is Frieza's older brother and the eldest son of King Cold. After hearing of the demise of his brother, Cooler went to Earth to kill the Saiyan responsible for it, not out of family love, but honor, as he always considered himself superior to his little brother, and to show it, he developed his own transformation to surpass Frieza. Even with his new transformation, he would still be vanquished by the selfsame Saiyan that defeated his younger brother. (Name trivia: While one may think that the name "Cooler" comes from the Ice theme of the Frieza Race, this is only partially true. It comes from Japanese phrase "Yashi demo Kura" meaning "Let's chow down!")
Cooler forces his way into Dragon Ball FighterZ as a DLC character, sporting a barbaric style in contrast to that of his brother: whereas Frieza likes to control the battlefield on his own terms, Cooler likes to dominate it with oppressive power.
Strengths/Weaknesses
Strengths |
Weaknesses
|
- Some attacks and super moves can overpower projectiles, or have incredibly high hitstun.
- Long ranged attacks, some can even reach the entire stage
- Lots of strong corner carry options, especially 5H, which help sets up for better positioning that will almost always lead to the corner.
- Excellent defensive options with an invincible reversal that can be done in the air and a counter-based level 3 that will beat safejump setups if timed right.
- Any stray hit can easily be comboed into a knockdown or ended in a super.
- Cooler than Frieza.
|
- Slow normals and specials, which also means he fights hitstun decay in longer combos.
- Few true blockstrings.
- Needs a lot of meter to perform his strongest combos on top of slow meter gain.
- Most of his specials and supers swap the opponent, which can take an opponent out of a corner.
- His DHC can be difficult to combo into because it requires the enemy to be grounded. It also makes other supers whiff due to it being a cinematic, which can be a hindrance at times.
- The way his assist launches can make it difficult for some characters to follow up optimally, as it sends them very high.
- He's a prick.
