Evil Cole MacGrath/Gameplay

Overview

Evil Cole is able to play at all ranges but is usually most comfortable at a mid range. When facing multiple opponents Evil Cole is able to bombard opponents with ranged attacks to create chaos and interrupt opponents from gaining AP. Evil Cole possesses some of the best mobility among the characters due to Grind. Charged Giga Punch is very useful, especially in 1V1, as it is quick enough to punish Evades and easily leads to combos.
