Broly (Z) In Versus And Online Matches
In his first form, Broly (Z) is pretty tame in terms of his overall stats. Additionally,his DP cost in Team Battles is a relatively low cost of five, allowing more room for other higher-cost characters.
His first skill,Wild Sense, will avoid the next melee attackfrom the opponent andautomatically throw a counterattack. Whilst this skill is useful, his second skill is more worth saving you Skill Points for, as upon activation it willinstantly place Broly into Sparking Mode, giving him a much-needed boost in combat.
Full-Power Energy Wave fires a beam of energydirectly at the opponent,dealing moderate damage. This is used asa range-poking tool to put pressure on opponentsattempting to charge Ki or asa combo launch finisherto sneak in some extra damage. Alternatively,High Speed Rushcan be used instead as it dealsslightly more damage.
High-Speed Rush should be used cautiously as if the opponent is too high above or too low below Broly, it can miss entirely and put you in a bad position.
His ultimate, Super Explosion Wave,creates an explosion from your current positionanddeals high damageto the opponent caught in the blast. Unlike his prior Special Moves, using acombo launch finisher will risk pushing the opponent out of range, thus making the ultimate useless.
Instead,keep the opponent as close as you canbefore activation by either stunning them with a Gut Punch or slamming them into the ground.

2x Melee Button + Ki Button
Forces the enemy to spin around, making it much more difficult to defend against further melee attacks.
R2/RT + Melee Button

Charge up and release a powerful orb that deals high damage.

His new skill,Saiyan Spirit, furtherincreases all forms of his damage for a short durationandcosts an additional Skill Pointto a total of three.Activating Saiyan Spirit before engagingin a combo andfinishing with a Special Movewill net major damage, putting you ahead of your opponent.
Bloody Smashrushes directly at the opponent,dealing moderate damage. Use this asa combo finisher, to keep the opponent close, allowing for a follow-up assault.Trap Shooter cannot be used after a combo launcheras the orbs spread slightly and may not deal as much damage as Bloody Smash.
Eraser Cannon replaces the Super Explosive Wave explosion ultimate in favor of a thrown orb. In Sparking Mode,end a launch combo with Eraser Cannonto deal immensely high damage to your opponent.Pair this with Saiyan Spiritand watch as the opponent’s health bar vanishes.
Further increase the Eraser Cannon’s damage by boosting it during its start-up with the R2/RT trigger.

Broly (Z) Legendary Super Saiyan In Versus And Online Matches
In his final form, Brolyregains all of his Kiand becomes an absolute monster with massivedamage increases to all forms of damage. Additionally, he gains a super armor against basicKi Blastswhich will no longer stagger him.
Whilst he is unable to be staggered by Ki Blasts, he will still receive damage from them.
No longer needing to buff his abilities, Saiyan Spirit is replaced with Explosive Wave which works as a defensive tool. If you are struggling against an opponent’s melee onslaught, simplyactivate the skill and immediately interrupt them, placing you both back to neutral.
His Special Moves keep the same format as his prior form with one rush move and two blast moves.Eraser Cannon and Gigantic Hammerwork exactly as they did in the previous transformation ascombo finishers. The only thing to keep in mind isGigantic Hammer’s shorter rangeandincreased cost.
On top of the increased cost and shortened range, Gigantic Hammer has a chance to miss the opponent if you are on uneven footing. Be sure to use it when you are at the minimum range from the opponent.
Omega Blaster is the most powerful move in Broly’s entire kit. Not only does the ultimatedeal major damageto your opponent, but it also has the added benefit ofbeing completely unblockable. Getting it to land consistently is as simple asgetting your opponent into a stun or launchbefore unleashing it.
After transforming into any of the Super Saiyan forms, Broly cannot return to his previous forms.
