Midscreen

Combo	Damage	Meter Gain	Works on:	Difficulty	Notes
2M > 5M > jc > j.MLL2H > SD > j.ML > jc.LLS > j214M~M	4102	1	All	Easy	Cooler's version of the Saiyan BnB.
2M > 5M > jc > j.MLL2H > SD > j.LLS > j.236L	3825	1	All	Easy	Alternate version of Cooler's BnB, preserving your action gives you a super easy safejump off of 236L into IAD.
2M > 5M > 6H > 5S > 5H > SD > j.MLL > jc > j.LLS > j.214M~M	4367	1	All	Very Easy	Corner carry combo that takes advantage of Cooler's extensive ground normals.
2M > 5M > 6H > 5S > 2H > SD > j.MLL > jc > j.LLH	4130	0.95	All	Very Easy	Combo that leads into better knockdown compared to DP.
... j.LLH > 214S	?	?	All	Easy	OTG extension using 214S, can be followed with super or vanish combo.
(5LL) > 2M/5M > 5M/2M > 6H > 5S > 3H > SD > j.LLS > j.236L > airdash > j.M	?	?	All	Easy	Reduced damage combo that leads into excellent oki due to j.236L leaving you air borne and having one air action left. the airdash into j.M puts the opponent in enough blockstun that you get a relatively free and safe blockstring.
... Vanish > 5L (whiff) > 5LL > 5LLL > SD > j.ML > jc > j.LLS > j.214M~M	2883 (From 236S)	-1	All	Easy	Post-vanish combo that swaps the original side Cooler was facing before Vanishing, does slightly less damage than the other route but easier to preform.
... Vanish > 66 > 2M > 6H > 5S > 3H > SD > j.ML > jc > j.LLS > j.214M~M	2974 (From 236S)	-1	All	Medium	Post-vanish combo that keeps the original side Cooler was facing before Vanishing, doing slightly more damage than the auto-combo route.
... Vanish > 66 > (2M) > 6H > 5S > 3H > SD > j.LLS > j.236L > airdash > j.M	2854 (From 236S)	-1	All	Easy	Post-vanish combo that goes into the bruh reset

Notes

Can end with "214M~L" to switch sides.
If wanting to end with a Level 3 mid-screen, stop combo just before j.214M or use the EX follow-up.

Corner

2M > 5M > jc > j.MLL > j.2H > SD > j.MLL > jc > j.LL > j.2H > j.S > j.214M~M	4327	1.1	All	Very Easy	A bog standard Corner Bnb.
2M/5M > 5M/2M > 6H > 5S > 236S > SD > j.2H > 6H > 5H > 5S > 236S > SD > j.MLL > jc > j.LL > j.2H > j.S > j.214M~M	5483	1.7	All	Medium	Cooler's go-to damage route, using his ability to SD off of his beam and bring the opponent back to the ground with 6H.
2M > SD > j.2H > DR	2672	0,5	All	Very Easy	Solo snap. Not good anymore, but cool to have regardless.
... j.214M~L > Vanish > j.[DR]	?	-1	All	Easy	Takes advantage of the L follow up's sideswap for a little extra damage while keeping the corner.
... j.214M~M > j.236L+M	?	-1	All	Easy	Cooler's only non-sideswitch super option, comes at the cost of some damage.
... j.214M~H > j.214L+M	?	-3.5	All	Easy	Cooler's standard way of getting level 3 in a combo, will need an EX ender to use but will swap back into the corner.
... j.214L > j.214L+M	?	-3	All	Hard	Cooler's way of getting his level 3 mid-combo without needing an EX. Has very tight timing so you'll need to lab this.

Notes

Sparking

Combo	Position	Damage	Meter Gain	Works on:	Difficulty	Notes
... 5S > [jc.S > airdash j.M ▷ 5S]*n ...	Anywhere	?	?	All		Cooler's got them loops too.

Notes

Assist

Combo	Position	Damage	Meter Gain	Works on:	Difficulty	Notes
... j.214M~M > Assist > (j.214M~M > Assist) > DR > 214S > Super	Corner	?	?	All		Basic assist extension into super. You'll only really use the double assist version when it's going to kill (or in a ToD, but that fulfills the first condition).

Notes

Combo Theory

Cooler doesn't get slide knockdowns from j.2H, so always try to end your combos in 214M or 236L. They each have their own advantages, but 236L won't work if the combo is too long. In exchange, it gives you a safejump in the corner if you airdash after Cooler lands and pushes them away.

Save an air action in the air to get j.236L which gives you access to the "Bruh reset" by doing IAD j.M after j.236L
