 Well, it finally happened. I'm playing through Dragon Ball Z, Budokai Tegaichi 2, and they finally made a mission where I rage quit. That's right, after defeating Frieza, who I thought was going to be the hardest boss in the game, the game actually unlocked the Cooler Saga. And this guy, Cooler, is the strongest enemy the game has thrown at me so far. And when you mix that with giving me what might be the worst team for a mission I've ever seen, yeah, things get pretty bad. Cooler's Revenge also gives us our first chance to actually try and look around for Dragon Balls. I know I can find them in the stages and I'm a little worried that that's what the game wants me to do. Do I take on his challenge because of that? I'm gonna say no. I'm gonna say no. I'm sure we'll have time in the actual Cooler Ratchets. I just gotta look around. I gotta look around. More than 20 years ago, as Frieza destroyed the planet Vegeta, his older brother Cooler stood by and watched as a lone Saiyan space pod escape towards Earth. Years later, when he learned that this same Saiyan was responsible for his brother's defeat, Cooler vowed revenge and launched an immediate assault on the Earth. Ah, see, Cooler's just a good big brother. He only attacked because, you know, he's avenging his brother. I'm Goku! Get away from Gohan! I'm guessing from the way he delivered that line that he bodied Gohan thinking he was Goku. So you're the one who defeated Frieza? The elite soldiers of Cooler's armored squadron attacked without mercy. They just didn't care, bro. They saw a four-year-old kid and thought he was the guy. How does that even make sense timeline-wise, Salza? I think you just wanted to beat up on a kid. Oh, how did he dodge the dropping elbow, though? Full power injury? We just blocked that? Yeah, Salza, I'm not... Damn, never mind, bro. I was about to say I'm not impressed. He kind of had a little bit of a combo game there. Still, though, it's not anything too crazy. Get out of here. Oh, he's literally dancing on me. Speaking of Dragon Ball Z characters fighting like Tekken characters, Salza might be another guy for that spot. Alright, I have to block again? Damn, or Kay on a block is wild, though. You gotta block low! You gotta block low! You want to fight like a Tekken character? You gotta get ready to play like one. Give me energy. I keep meaning to do Kaio-ken and I just keep messing it up. Next time I have to block the low? Yes! You held it too long. You had to mix up. I didn't see it coming either, but it's just a little too slow. Ah, meh, ah, meh! I whiffed. I can't dodge this. Blink it. No. Damn, forget blinking it, bro. When it's a bar of health and then some, I'm not trying to get into that. I haven't been able to use that one Kaio-ken all game. I'll still take the win, though. Hatred of Goku. I unlocked the Hatred of Goku. Having backed Goku into a corner, the armored squadron moved in for the kill. When Cooler himself suddenly appeared. What is he doing here, bro? Frieza! That's gotta be racist. No shot. Gohan, stay away! No shot. That's also got a tinge of racism to it, too. I'm not gonna lie. I see his body to save Gohan. Goku took a direct hit from Cooler's attack and was lost from view in the fiery blast. Damn. With Goku safely hidden for the moment, Gohan snuck out in search of a sensu bean to heal his father's wounds. And now I'm playing as Piccolo. What? Why? Oh, wait, wait, wait. This might be a good stage to farm Dragon Balls. This might be a good stage for Dragon Balls. Almost immediately, Piccolo appeared and go onside to stand against Salsa. Bro, how does he know? Gohan, take care of the sensu bean! Thank you, Piccolo! No problem, bro. Got you. Piccolo orders Gohan to deliver the sensu bean to Goku and challenges Salsa to a battle. It seems you have some skill. Just some. All right, Salsa. I'm also gonna be looking for Dragon Balls, so try not to go too hard on me. Ah, is there anywhere to destroy stuff for Dragon Balls? Oh, God. Never mind. This stage is horrible for Dragon Balls. There's just this one tree that I may or may not be able to destroy. Why is Salsa so strong? What was... What are you talking about? What was that grab animation? There is no way that is a fighting technique. Zero shot. I don't know why Salsa moves the way he does, but bro is different with it. He does so much damage. Got him. Right there. He's got two bars of health left. Sadly, he's still... Nobody has yet to get through my Piccolo's wall of defense when it comes to his health. Oh, God. That was anime as hell, Salsa. Let's go! Look at us. Faded rivals. I'm not going to surrender, bro. You're not... If Salsa dodges this, he's him. He should just be dead here, though. You're cooked. What? You're actually just the best fighter I've ever seen on the game. Salsa is just a legendary warrior. Take a bath. Another mission down. If we're going by the rule of three, we should be fighting cooler here. We haven't even seen his base form yet. Are they really going to show us his final form? With his strategic attacks, Piccolo proves to be more than an even match for Salsa. Go after that branch! Uh-oh. Grisa! That's gotta be racist. In one terrifying instant, Piccolo is struck down by cooler surprises. Damn, from off-screen! Salsa continued his pursuit of Gohan and stealthily tracked him back to his hiding place. Back to the mountain road where it all began and Salsa's here waiting for us again. As Gohan waits for the Senzu bean to take effect on Goku and unwelcoming guests suddenly appears. So that's where you are. First of all, Senzu mean to take effect. These things have never been shown to take longer than a second. Oh no! He found us! Damn! No! Oh, it's the 1v2 though. I'm leading with Krillin. Salsa can actually put up a fight. Is this really how the movie went? Was Salsa just like the main character? This is just the Salsa arc. Forget about cooler. He just appears to one-shot people. Blocked it. Oh, what a blink! Krillin! That's why he's my favorite character. Come here. Alright. I'm not going to blink this one. Nope. I tried it though. I really did try. Max power. Oh, he's got to take the full combo. Salsa, you got to fight back. You got to block. Oh, he ain't Frieza. He ain't Frieza. Aw, damn. Blink it, Krillin! Take this. God damn, Salsa's the greatest fighter in the game. He's dodged every undodgedable move. How does he do it, bro? How does he do it? No way. Blink it. I'm not blinking that. Oh, how is he... How is he this good, man? Please, Salsa. Solar flare. He's not going to let that slide. Solar flare. I got him. He doesn't even know what he's hitting. Oh, the shimmy behind before the lock-on can happen. He's trash. No more bass for you, bro. Hit that hard grass. Damn. Unable to repel Salsa's fierce attacks, Gohan and the others prepare to meet their end. Time to clean up the rest of the trash. Uh-oh. Suddenly, Salsa's scouter begins to detect an enormous power level. Has Goku finally revived? Revived by the sense of being, Goku comes forth to challenge Salsa. You... Behouded. Behouded. This has gone far enough. Leave her now while you still can. So... Aw, damn. Come. Let me see the power of a Super Saiyan. I thought you just wanted to avenge your brother. Cooler than Salsa. Is there anyone who can withstand these two terrible foes? Wait, do I... What? I got a 1v2 these guys? How on earth is this fair? Bro, Salsa does, like, a million damage. I can only imagine Cooler's gonna do a million damage. No. Alright, if that hit me, it was game over. It was just the reset at that point. Oh my God. My Goku does so much damage, though. This game is over. This is late-stage power right here. There's no way the game is balanced in a way that they can keep up with the Evolution Z abilities, man. No shot. Bro, I'm making Salsa look like a jump when I had to fight this guy with anybody else. It was hard. But Goku just has too much damage. Look, I don't even think he touched me. Damn, he's dead in the water. Ah, yeah, Cooler. You didn't keep me waiting, but don't worry about it. I'm just gonna go Kyoken. Wait, can I actually transform? No, I can't. Oh, I can! Super Saiyan, that is sick. That's the first time we've transformed into the whole series. Even when we actually played as Super Saiyan, we didn't actually get to transform ourselves. That is sick. Jumped at. Oh, what a dodge. Meteor Smash. Oh, you wanted to see a Super Saiyan, huh, Cooler? You wanted to see a Super Saiyan. Let me show you. Wild Sense has been activated. Okay, Wild Sense did not activate there. Also, damn, did Cooler just do two... No way, how's it... If I didn't blink that, I wonder how much damage that would have done. Wild Sense, the dodge, the stupid paralyzing move. Yes! Thank you, bro. Thank you, I needed that. A Dragon Ball! I saw it! That's the first time I've seen one. No! How do I get the Dragon Ball? Push me down. Where is it? Wait, where'd it go? Oh, it's right there. How do I control the game well enough to do this? No, no, no, no, I'm freaking out. I'm freaking out. I see the Dragon Ball. Mountain Road is the spot to grind these at. Is there a way to lock off? Oh my God, I can't control it. Where's the goddamn Dragon Ball? No. And I'm not going to get the stupid Dragon Ball. No, where I died next to it, for sure. Damn it, Cooler, I should have just won. I didn't need the Dragon Ball that bad. Oh, I'm so stupid. I'm so stupid. Oh, that was the first time I saw it. All right, Salzer, you're still getting the work, bro. You were so easy. It's ridiculous. Goku does too much damage. Honestly, I should use you to grind Dragon Balls. Damn, but that one was hard to find. I had to smash him into a specific part of the map. God, I'm so pissed. I am so angry. I am so angry. It's ridiculous. I knew as soon as I saw that Dragon Ball, I was not getting it. The level of control needed to get it, and then also just like, I'm not knowing how to lock off on command if there even is such a way to do that. Did he just die? Oh, my God. All right, Cooler, I'm not playing around with you. Super Saiyan. Meteor Smash. All right, Cooler blocks the same as Frieza, man. They all block my string. So my one string that I've used throughout the entire game is useless against these guys. Oh, no, Bligot. I'm so done. I'm so done playing with this guy, man. Die, Meteor Smash. Oh, what now? You should have never let me get behind you, bro. This is too much damage for you. You wanted to see a Super Saiyan? What you've got? Oh, no. How much does this hit for? Oh, my God. Am I dead? Go go turn around. I can't. I'm pissed. Salza, this is our eighth time fighting, bro. You've never once had it, and you never will have it, bro. So please, let's just make this easy for me. I really can't afford to be losing out, though. Cooler is kind of nuts. Salza, you're not doing this to a Super Saiyan. You're not. Oh, no way, bro. I should have said Cooler wanted to see a Super Saiyan. That bet he was willing to tag in for it. That's crazy. Oh, God, damn it. This is not to be cliche, but this isn't even his final form. I should have just... This guy is going to make me really regret not winning. This AI is going nuts. Damn, damn! This is the hardest mission ever by far. Why does he get access to a 2-bar? A 2-bar beam is crazy. Damn! Okay, calm down, calm down. Focus. Let's get Salza out of the way, and then everything else will fall into place. If I just have full health, then Cooler's not even going to be that hard, if we're being honest. Full health, we can just block all the beams. Yes, it'll do a lot of chip damage, but it won't, like, one-shot me or anything. Okay, Salza is mad easy. I'm just going to go... Actually, no. I'm going to wait. He's clearly going Super Saiyan is the key to pissing Cooler off, and so I can't afford to do it now. I can't fight him right now, but I don't want to take the time to go Super Saiyan against Cooler, you know? I'll grab a chase... That's not... What are you doing? All right, I'm going Super Saiyan. If he tags out, then that means Cooler really only wants to fight a Super Saiyan. There we go. Okay. Bring in Cooler. How much bar does he come in with? Can he full power as you wait right away? Yes, he can. Cooler, stop blocking this. Cooler! Two bars of damage! All right, this is the route. This is the route we need to take on Cooler. Not Saiyan Soul! Dear God! No. Okay, we're so close. Dodge it! Yes! Yes, dude! Finally, I had to focus up for that, but look at him dead in the water. Yes! Holy... That took forever. And still not the final chi... Oh, no. In true Saiyan fashion, Goku recovered from his wounds stronger than ever. Saul's approved no match for Goku's might to Cooler's great annoyance. I see why you gave my brother so much trouble. Fortunately for me, I still have one more transformation to make. No shot, dude. What? W-What? Bro sounds like me. Cooler is surprised Goku with the announcement of his transformation. What form will he take? Consider yourself honored! Oh! You can be the first to witness my ultimate form! Well, since when did he have this, though? Like, did he always have this on deck? Are we really the first and only? Yeah, we got a full... Oh, so this really about to beat my ass. Hold on, let me send in the fodder first. Let me send in the fodder to soften the blow a little bit. 193 is crazy. I'm honestly shocked they even gave me the... Oh, he has got a little bit of blue. He's got a little bit of that blue life in him. Is that the first time I've seen that? Hey, but the question is, can he stand up to Gohan though? Let's go! Uh-oh, I missed. F-Beam blocked that? Alright, that's not too bad. Damn! Damn! He took a kill and go on! He's killing little Gohan out there. He can't possibly get away with this. There's no way, bro. Did you see the amount of stamina he took? That's not gonna hit me. No! Back off of me! Leave Gohan alone! Uppercut, punch him in the chest. Do him in, like, third form Frieza. Multiple ki blasts attack! That's Vegeta's technique? No, that's Gohan's technique now. One bar? Oh, you already know. Can you see me? You can. I'm gonna clash with him. Oh, I think he broke my jaw. Oh, God! Damn! It's Krillin time! Sweet delay. Oh, he waited too. He thought he really had something. Honestly, we might be able to get through this with just fodder. Even though he is insanely strong, I think they made a mistake giving us so many characters to swap out to. Good combo, Krillin. Piece him up. Oh, Krillin combos! I've mastered BT2. He can't saw me. Block that. Nope. No counter? All right. Thought I might need to drop a little counter to that. Damn. Damn! Oh my God! Ho-ho! 17k's a little while. Where is he? I found you! Kamihame! He still runs into it. Hey, you might be stronger, but you're not as smart as your brother, huh? You're not as smart. You don't have it in you. Damn. I kind of wish this was just a one-on-one fight. I can tell this is... This is definitely the strongest enemy of the game so far. Cooler, my God. You got to play more defense. They forgot to give him the defense patch that they gave Frieza in first form cooler. Charge up. I'm going to... Oh, you fool! Oh, wait. Is Dragon Ball possible? No! Oh! I wanted to see if there was a Dragon Ball cooler! I'm alive. And there's no Dragon Ball. How do you get behind me? Oh, he missed. Just when he thought he had it. Yo, Krillin better win this whole thing. Solar flip! Oh, I'm sorry, Krillin. I am so sorry. Yup, he's dead. He's already dead. Okay. Damn you, cooler. Oh, God. I mean, it was a good start for him, but I think it's over. Sweep the leg. Bye-bye. Didn't even need it. Didn't even need Super Saiyan for that. And that's the end of the cooler saga. And there's the beginning of Return of Cooler. Oh, no. Oh, no, dude. Why so much cooler? As promised, Cooler's ultimate form proved to be far more terrible than Frieza's. But even so, Goku refused to give up. Like his brother before him, Cooler underestimated Goku's resolve. A fact he came to realize only too late. Unable to withstand Goku's Super Saiyan powers, Cooler was overwhelmed by the blast, completely annihilated. How come we haven't gotten any cool cutscenes, man? Turnless Saga had a cutscene. I did it. He won. Peace was once again restored to the Earth. Thanks to the Z fighters. Except for the fact that now we've got to go fight Metal Cooler. What the f- Hahahaha What the f- Hahahaha Oh, hell no, bro. What? What kind of duo is this? This is the worst two characters I've ever seen on my screen, bro. Alright, come on, Yajirobi. Let's go. Damn, he's fast as fuck, though. Look at this guy, but you ain't ever seen speed like this. MMMMMM Nah, this is what, what is happening in this game. The peaceful life of the Namek's was once again disrupted as a strange sinister planet darkened the skies of new Namek Powerless to stop this invader. The Namekians were again in danger There's no way cooler decided to go run it up with Namek again, bro It's a quest. Goku and the Z fighters raced to new Namek to hell. What are these two doing here though? Where is Goku? No idea Who? You know, kudos to Masaroshi for being the first person to see cooler and not be racist That the guy Goku told us about cooler. Hey, y'all's are always doing pretty good, too Where is Goku? I got no clue. It's all up to us now. Wait, what? In that case, I'll have to kill you first. Oh, come on. He offered to help you look What are you talking about? We won't go down that easy. You you will you'd go down extremely easy Please don't make me fight as these two man You know, I have any Z evolution on either of these two man, and you're gonna make me go up against level 193 medical Man, oh, it's just survive as long as you can. Okay good But I ain't no loser, but you think I'm gonna survive for 90 seconds without putting up a fight. Yeah, I'm right behind you Ha Yajiro be combos. The only way to win is by oh wow. Come on cooler. Oh God oh Dear god dear god, what is this technique? There's just no way bro. You know what I can't actually win though. No, I can't no I can't it is so over bros. It is so over cat rough. Keep that keep that clock ticking. Oh, no Damn, he blew my he blew my sunglasses off instantaneously bro What up? What are we actually talking about with this mission? Damn? I got a dish out the old-school beating bro that level eight master Roshi Yeah, you never seen this before you ain't ever seen anything like it sweep the leg pop him up Oh, god. Oh, I fell out of the sky because I can't fly bullshit bullshit There's no way for what is this mission couple of level aids just please cool All right little cheap damage. I'm behind you. Yeah, you should have been no You should have been known about this master Roshi beating sweep the leg pop him up I can't fly but I still got combos. Let's go talk to me. All right block Block, but don't don't block too long. We still got damage to do why a high speed rush on Roshi That might be the only saving grace from going so slow, but I can't block in the air. Oh, no bros. Oh, no. Oh I may be dead. Oh Come on. Oh, no, I'm sorry Oh Why bro, oh my god, the damage is crazy the damage difference is crazy get off me get off me Yeah, back up. I need you to back up keep your space. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry What is this mission? Please all right sneak behind him part one. We always do this part, right? Oh brother He's a turn around. Oh, how much does this grab do? Oh, oh just just seven thousand. That's pretty whatever I mean, I'd be pretty embarrassed if I only did seven that here goes half my health bar. I Blocked that by the way. This is this is crazy. This is crazy This is crazy I think the honest to God genuine strat might be to just get behind him and keep running Just hope we can hide for as long as possible But there's no way to make him walk off now. Oh wait. He was locked off I can't I can't block in the air if I get too tired from flying I fall Why you can't block lock on buster? Why not? There's got to be the most evil level BT2 has ever put me through bro. What do you mean? I cannot I put first of all I can't play as a good character one that would make sense for me to have any Evolution Zeon no, I got to play as Master Roshi and Yajiro be as a dynamic duo against the strongest enemy I've ever seen. All right. Here's the genuine trick. Oh, no Move I support hide. No, we found me Damn We can talk about this. I'm sorry, bro. I'm sorry. I was just trying to move but Yajiro be wouldn't get up out of the ground But just keep attacking all we can do is keep attacking overwhelm him No, and I'm dead. No Okay, keep attacking keep attacking overwhelm overwhelm don't don't fly if we attack the game never registers us as flying Keep moving keep attacking keep and I'm dead I need I need one person to tell me how this is fair. Come on master Roshi. You got to be the one dodging I can't neither of these two can fly if they could at least fly then I could have so many more Damn No way, why can't I move good? I'm just trying to get around you metal cooler God You're gonna make me be true. I hate this guy, bro. I hate no no no she stopped up any falls out of the area gets This is the worst mission of all time. Come on. Hold on. I'm flying if I fight if I'm not Blocking or fighting. I can't do anything. Why does it feel like sometimes I can't block in there get down get down get down Get down to the ground block nice good stuff and chip damage, please. Don't kill Let's go. We're alive. Oh That was my fault. I hit a button Block that. Oh, wow 90 damage. That's fair. All right fight back. Yeah, come on. Come on He was probably trying to do lock-on buster And there goes all three bars by saying that and there's lock-on buster Bro, I'm done bro. I'm gonna come back and do metal cooler another day. I can't beat this guy Please please metal cooler. Please God. Yeah, I just wanted to do both coolers like that. Ha
