Pfft, you console and pc gamers are so petty, squabbling amongst yourselves, utterly unaware that the true master race of gaming walk among you, not even bothering to get involved with your pathetic arguments because, as we walk, we're busy gaming. That's right, handheld system gamers are the true master race! We have all the main series Pokemon games, how can you hope to compete?!

They lure you in with promises like, "Once you put it together you'll have a flawless gaming experience with absolutely no errors and a much higher framerate than any console!"

Then you get your first "display driver has stopped working" and you start to wonder just where the lies end and the truth begins.

So I'm still re-watching some parts of the Piccolo Jr. arc, and just watched Tien beat Tao pai pai.

I like the look on Tien's face when he first dodges Tao's attack. He's kinda like wait, did I seriously just do that? You could tell that's the moment when he realized just how strong he'd become.

But more to the point...how was Chi-Chi allowed to enter the tournament when she refused to give her name? How is that even allowed?

I know there's a long list of shit they've allowed fighters to do, Giran's Tummy gum, The Kintoun saving Goku (though both were later declared to be illegal after the fact), and lets not forget that they let a god damned Cyborg even enter the tournament.

That's not even getting into what Spopovitch did to Videl, but really, everyone else has at least given a fake name. How could Chi-Chi let herself go by Anonymous and not be told that she can't do that/

Chichi gave her name as Anonymous.

I don't think they ask for ID, given that Goku could not possibly have any sort of ID on him.

@Pushover

Handhelds count as consoles.

The only ones that don't are phones, and Phone Gaming is the butt of every joke.

Man, I remember when we could laugh at Phone Games because all they were was microtransaction vehicles. Now I get more fun out of a ridiculously greedy mobage than I have out of AAA games in years.

Good point. Still I'd expect them to at least ask for a name of some sort.

I might of be misremembering things, but I recall Whis changing his metaphor concerning the gap between Beerus and Goku in-universe. Or was it somewhere else that said that, it would be best to think of Goku's power (as SSJ Blue) a regular tree... And compare Beerus' power to size of the tree that his house is built around?

So I think this is something worth talking about.

ANN did a bit of a retrospective on the franchise and how Super (and ROF to an extent) stacks up.

I was rather surprised by how much it aligned with my own feelings on Super and the series as a whole.

I feel like I'm missing a second page of that article (maybe I am). I overall agreed with it but it just kinda ended.

@Soble

Still a better experience than consoles. tongue

Although malfunctioning drivers can be maddening, but are also easily fixed once the problem is identified....

So here's something neat I discovered while doing some research: The fanon that Goten was conceived during the wait for the Cell Games is virtually impossible. According to the Daizenshuu 7, Goten was born in Age 767 (the same year as the entire Android and Cell stuff happened other than Freeza showing up), likely sometime after 27 May (the day Goku's funeral is held which is the day after the Cell Games). Unless Goten was born two months early (which isn't technically impossible), he was likely conceived before the Androids even arrived.

That's because Sayian fetuses develop faster than human ones. It's to keep the pregnancy period short, so the mother can be back at full battle strength faster.

Not impossible, given the fact that they remain youthful for much longer too.
