Dragon Ball Z Abridged

At least he wasn't buffing COM.

TFS Plays: DragonBall Z Budokai 3 -4-

Tien vs. Super Buu. With Gotenks and Piccolo absorbed. Or, technically, just Gotenks absorbed gameplay-wise, what with the way I remember the Budokai games working.

So based on this wiki guide thing that explains how the stats in Dragon Universe mode actually work, Kaiser's not made the wisest choices with that Tien playthrough.

Reposting so people will get the joke, and realize that the episode is out.

Also episode 45 of the main series came out over the weekend. So those are things.

EDIT: Kaiser eventually succeeds. On fight 28.

Man, this is making me wanna dust off my old DBZ Budokai disc.

The old one where you get to play that special stage as Cell turned into an orange dwarf after he absorbed Krillin?

No, the one where Yajirobe gets Vegeta so angry about Nappa's death (that he caused) that he goes Super Saiyan.

^ Yeah, that one. The one that has a whole game mode where you fight a gauntlet against every fighter at the Cell Games... as Hercule.

Turns out Buu still won the Best of 51.

I remember that scene.

I wish there was not any copyright issues with the HD Remaster of Budokai 3 because it had a badass soundtrack.

Reminds me of back when I was 12, watching Dragon Ball for the first time after seeing the Android/Cell Saga and I was confused over when Dr. Gero was suppose to show up.

@ Budokai 3 LP:

That was brilliant. That is absolutely going on the CMOF and CMOA pages. I didn't think they could top Krillin Too Stronk, but they found a way. Also, the last match where Tien survived through two cutscene counters and wins on 1HP needs Rules of Nature added to it.

Don't you f'ckin dare-

Oh, who am I kidding. -_-

-screams internally-

???

Whatever. Krillin stronkest there is.

Krillin Too Stronk.

Also, Lani's full of shit about Tien's story being this operatic tragedy. He stopped being relevant the minute aliens became a thing, and he has no one to blame but himself. There were options open to him for training, but he figured "No, if I sit on a mountain forever, I will become the Stronkest."

There's this thing on TV Tropes where everybody has to link to a song from Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, called Rules of Nature. It's like Guile's Theme, except it really doesn't go with everything. Some while ago, two people were posting the video in several threads I'd visited.

"Everything" is relative here. That said, I think it would work in this case.

And I react to it with the same, comical amount of irritation each time.

Tien's story ended before Raditz ever got there. He renounced his goals of becoming a master assassin in the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai, gave up his cheating, vengeful ways, and embraced the purity of fighting for its own sake at Kame'sennin's urgings - spurred on by his enjoyment of fighting Goku.

His development was complete when he faced Tao Pai Pai in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai and demonstrated how he had risen above his original nefarious intentions by fighting and defeating the man he once considered his role model.

And that was it. That was the end of Tien's story. Like Yamcha, he persisted as a member of the cast but didn't have anything to really do because his conflict was resolved. Tao Pai Pai was his Final Boss, so to speak.

not the best sync-up.

So what would have been the best dump stat for Tien?

Probably Arts. Then Dodonpa does more damage. It's only one ki bar, so he could spam the shit out of it.

What about Piccolo?

Really, I'm surprised they used attacks besides the Dodompa. It came out quickly, gave strong knockback, and a fair amount of damage.

Why did he keep charging him? What's the saying? "Fools rush in where Saiyans fear to tread."

What about Piccolo.

All that matters is 20 points in ki. Vanish all day every day.

What got me was that around battle 8 or so, Kaiser was actually winning and could have finished Buu off, but he chose to rush in for CQC.
