Characters who’re larger or smaller than normal tend to attract unusual size-specific combos. Such is the case with Dragon Ball FighterZ‘s Cooler, who is one of the larger characters in the game’s cast.

Now the above statement itself is an understatement — YouTuber Final Showdown points out that Cooler is the biggest character in Dragon Ball FighterZ so far in terms of width and height on screen. However, for some reason, once he’s being juggled, he somehow becomes normal sized. This makes finding specific big-body combos on Cooler difficult, though that hasn’t stopped Final Showdown from doing so as the video below demonstrates.

The late 90s marked the end of one era — and the beginning of a new one — in many areas of the gaming industry. The fighting game genre was no exception, with Capcom teaming up with Arika to produce the 3D Street Fighter EX series, and Midway doing the same with Mortal Kombat 4.

We get to see elements of this shift in design in today’s behind the scenes video from NeoGamer, which features not only some of the motion capture technology used in the creation of the game, but also the heavy promotional machine behind it. Their tour — which brought the game across cities in North America — was similar in many ways to the location tests in Japan.  Given the amount of distance needed to travel the US for such a test, it shows the drastic change between the modern era of gaming and the older titles’ development cycles.
