[up]Agreed. Sometimes its the smaller victories that can suffice.

Changing topics for a second, I just saw the latest episode of Star Vs The Forces Of Evil, and I suddenly have an idea where Beerus is dating Heckapoo from that show, and every time Goku interrupts and/or does something stupid she uses her dimensional scissors to tear open portals to other dimensions and shoves him through them.

You think the fans are really gonna let him have that, or will they jump to downplay and shit on that victory because of how insignificant it is (and it kinda is) in the end?

I agree with you. It's something, but people can get really Knight Templar in their quest to shut down overzealous Yamcha fans.

Anyways... hmm....what do you think of calling Broly's Distaff Counterpart Girl-ly?

Too on the nose? Too sexist? Just plain ass dumb? Don't hold back, I can take it.

Technically it should be Sis-ly cause Bro-ly, heheh. tongue

Though I wonder where Champa & Vados dug her out of cause her existence is most likely recent as Vados should have brought her the first time if she was aware of her unless she had reasons to not bring her.

Is she even from Universe 6? I mean, that's not the only universe with Saiyans, is it?

Only thing for me confirming she's from Universe 6 is her profile on the tropes page. For me, I prefer t9 call her "Brolady" until we get an official name.

My theory for the inuniverse reason she wasn't included in the previous tourny: WAY to unpredictable, as shown in the preview her transformation has far more of a Jekyl and Hyde thing going, the Legendary Super Saiyan form as the clear Hyde. Vados probably knew about her before, but kept her hidden from Champa for reasons unknown.

wild mass guessShe didn't go to the previous tournament because her mother (named Officina) wouldn't let her.

@Soble

Except they have to or universe 7 will be destroyed.

So again only Goku winning won't help in this situation.

More likely, she wasn't a super saiyan yet.

Cabba didn't know what SSJ was till the tournament so most likely she was pretty weak until that knowledge spread.

Or maybe she is not a saiyan, but comes from an alien race similar to the saiyans. We put her on the U6 folder because we assumed she is a saiyan, but with the new opening showing the Red/Black fighters, and the fact she appears with them, makes me wonder if she comes from the Suicide Universe.

Until we know from where she is, we aren't going to move her for now.

If she was a saiyan like character, it could be an example of Troll Creator: Make us think Broly became canon, except he isn't. Honestly, I will be glad if she is not saiyan only to shut my annoying friend who still believes Broly is canon.

I think the opening is just a mix and match of the different fighters.

There are plenty of reasons one could assume she's from U6, and not from the clown's verse or any other universe.

As someone who likes Broly I do hope this chick is suitably crazy & absurd. Like Cabba stealing her milk cartons when she was a toddler or told her that her hair has split ends is why she's pissed or that she just easily gets pissed off, heheh. tongue

Also for the soundtrack to get really metal punctuated with a shit ton of screaming that will strain the VA's vocal chords. Cause you can't have Broly or a Broly without metal music & screaming your ass off.

The real question is whether or not she'll be suitably psychotic enough....

I hope the only thing she shares with Broly is design. Broly was painfully bad, and a new character with a completely different backstory is an good way of reusing his decent character design with none of the atrocious writing baggage that comes with Broly.

For some reason, I see Brolady as a bit of a tragic character. Her Super Saiyan form manifests as a possibly separate personality, the transformation resulting in it is probably as painful as it looks, and she may have been completely sheltered or locked up by her family or the Saiyan government for essentially being an uncontrollable abomination in the eyes of her people. At least unil Cabba became Super Saiyan, after only which Brolady was allowed out of her prison with a bogus story about how she came about her transformation and might be forcibly married off to Cabba.

wild mass guessBrolady's very existance is basically government conspiracy fuel for Universe 6 Saiyans, thus why no one outside a small circle of officials, excluding Vados but including the royal family, never heard of her until now.wild mass guess

I don't really care for Broly. He's just a musclebound simpleton with no motives beyond killing Goku. At least the dozens upon dozens of other villains who wanted to do so had goals beyond that. Broly is defined purely by "m-muh Kakarot".

[up]AWESOME character design and potential; poor writing and execution. Hopefully Brolady rectifies that.

I think She-Broly would be a very masculine Saiyan that's a comically serious type.

Is there any way to gauge Vegito pre-Super against Beerus?

Because I really hate watching overly long Youtube videos to find out. Goku stated that "fusion" wouldn't be enough to beat Beerus, but was he figuring "Potara fusion" or just "Regular fusion?"

Beerus can wreck a Super Saiyan 3, but Super Buuhan wrecked Goku and Vegeta when they were both fighting him in Super Saiyan. So that puts him in a gray area where the only person he's weaker than is Vegito, who is in a similar gray area because he was trouncing Buuhan. In the anime he can do this in base, in the manga he goes to Super Saiyan - implying he needed to in order to finish the fight, or at least make it a cakewalk, but as we know his plan was to draw the fight out so that Buu would absorb him.

It doesn't matter which type of fusion it was. Beerus would have wasted them either way.

Without knowing exactly how powerful Potara Fusion makes someone, it's an uphill task to discern. So I just leave it out of mind.

I've been going under the assumption that everything from the Buu saga is chump change compared to everything in Super. Power inflation is a heck of a thing.

Word of God states that Goku will not surpass Beerus so I'm pretty sure even Super Saiyan 4 Gogetta would lose against him.

Though man Broly is pretty cool. What more can you expect from a serial movie villain? All he is is just big muscles, constant screaming, full frontal evilness, an absurdly ridiculous & petty backstory all played to the brim with heavy metal music. Perfect popcorn fun goodness.

Though I'd like for Bro-lady to try something new or add nuance to the transformation.

The only thing I like about Broly is his inability to tell the difference between Truce and Coffins.tongue

Beyond that, I'm pretty indifferent to him.
