Reserved for more whatever.

I love evil cole. He has so many good things going for him. I feel like he’s the “Zero” of the game. Always keep that Circle charged :wink:

5

this guy is lowkey best character in the game no one knows it yet though

6

Yeah, I think Good Cole might have a few more tools, but absolutely no one should underestimate a high-range, nearly no startup, armored, easily charged punch into level 1 or a solid 130 meter build. In addition, I love that if someone interrupts his charge, he keeps however long he’s charged, instead of it being reset.

So, I’m thinkin’, so we don’t just keep this a lovefest for a badass character (which it totally could be), what do people think about his supers?

Personally, level 1 is awesome, it’s normally what I go for, but his level 2 catches a lot of rolls and airdodges, and doesn’t take much meter at all to build. Level 3 to me is worthless, good dodgers can get out of it easily. I think it would be a way better move if Evil Cole kept his momentum during his moves on level 3, but right now it’s zoom over, do a thing they dodge, take 5 hours to build up speed again.

On the plus side, Evil Cole’s got that hilarious derp moment on the level 3. His lips wiggle…

7

dI hate the stun on the 5th hit of his n2 (bolts), it doesnt really do anything except jail both players for a moment. the shock does have an aoe effect that launches opponents near the blast. good cole builds extra AP off of it. shame it isnt the same here, or some sort of AP drain.

Im liking this char though, he has trouble fighting people on the same plane as him,gotta smack em away with the amp or else, so hes gotta be above or below somehow. hes got some of the best throws too, imo

Level 3 is ass, even with the Gravity field. its too simple to dodge. lvl2 is the juice though.

8

With or without falcon punch? Because with the paunch, people on my level are where I want them (except Raiden, who trades favorably with his counter against giga punch’s armor)

And yeah, agreed on the other points 100%

Evil Cole has a faster grind compared to good Cole I believe. I was trying it out and it seemed faster D:

Hi guys, I made a Evil Cole Tutorial. I may want to slap it onto the beginning of the thread, but first I want to submit it for perusal by the rest of the gang. I didn’t talk much about lightning tether against ground opponents, but a lot of other Evil Cole basics are in there.

So yeah, tell me what you all think, as well as post some other fun videos of Evil Cole, so I can put them up here.

11

Definitely liking the tutorial you made for evil Cole. I am going to try to incorporate some of it into good Cole’s game as well since they have similar moves. Now I want to check out this character :D…Good job :smiley:

without it,mainly, of course you should always have the charge for it, but it wont always be there for you. d+2 (Shockwave) could help with on-plane fighting too, but its too slow. :confused: Firebird strike is good, but asking for trouble on block.

I like to call it the Sucker Punch, but thats just me. :stuck_out_tongue:

grounded Thunder drop has a better range than I thought.
