Well, to put it bluntly, he wanted to take the Ultimate Soul Caliber for himself so he could take over the world and kill Darkstorm. And he wanted to see if it could help him find his parents. He also wanted to see how it felt to be Eggman. When Smash called him out on this, Cold tried to put his sob story in front of him as an excuse. Saying Smash wouldn't understand because he wasn't in his shoes. His parents were taken away from him when he was little, he lost someone else he loved, etc.

Of course, Smash was disgusted. "Your parents were taken away from you? Mine are Dead."
