You're apparently a fan of the fight and I am not. I could say more but it would probably come across as insulting. For my last word on the matter, I'm going to note that I'm pretty sure Vegeta was a planet buster in his first attack, Roshi was a planet buster in the first tournament Vegeta was definitely a planet buster by the time he fought Perfect Cell because his allies were worried that he got so pissed off that he launched a potentially planet busting attacking attack at Cell.

And no, not every opponent has to be as strong as Vegeta to have a decent fight with him, but I take issue with relying on factors that should not be a threat, did not occur naturally and are only enough to let him keep up when Vegeta is fighting at a tiny fraction of his actual ability level.

Okay, that's all I have to say. I'm clearly not going to change your mind. If you want to respond to that, go ahead. Don't want to seem like I'm starting an argument and then insisting on the last word.

Lets be honest; the Magetta vs Vegeta fight wasn't good enough, nor remarkable enough to get worked up over.

I guess there are people who liked it a lot, but I always thought it was passably mediocre, so....meh.

It was decent & it came after the whole Frost business which was easily the worst part of the arc.

It was entertaining what can I say. Veggie struggled a little, Magetta has a nice design & power-set. There was honestly nothing really bad about it.

Though fucking Hell Veggie had the most fights in that arc. Thank God Hit kicked his ass like a little bitch, he did not deserve to hog the spotlight that much.

I'm sorry, what did you say Arha?

I'm not going to change your mind

This isn't a victory I.. I don't know what this is.

If you seriously concede then I'll... I'll just blow up this forum like I said! So unless you want to want this thread to get locked, GET BACK IN HERE and PUNCH me in my PERFECT jawline!

You're apparently a fan of the fight and I am not. I could say more but it would probably come across as insulting. For my last word on the matter, I'm going to note that I'm pretty sure Vegeta was a planet buster in his first attack,

I'm actually not. Magetta is probably the least interesting character/fight of the U6 bunch and I shouldn't be defending him in the first place. I just get triggered and "devils-advocative" when anyone says something is "meaningless."

I might have misspoke. I'm not saying Vegeta's not a planet buster - I am saying I don't think he's actually resisted the explosion of a planet straight-up and that it should be counted toward "Vegeta shouldn't be hurt by lava." That's the point I want to make.

Saying "well he takes laser beams to the face, he can probably resist lava," sounds fishy to me. Technically he hasn't done the latter, and unless someone wants to go full Mythbuster's on how well you can resist lava when you take superhuman blows/energy beams to the face - and then factor in Vegeta still getting hurt by those nonetheless - then I'm not willing to write off the entire Magetta fight as pointless based primarily on the assertion, "lava can't hurt Vegeta, therefore Magetta's whole concept is dumb does not make any sense."

And that is all I have to say about that, counterpoints come as they may.

I didn't concede. I don't think you're right. I also don't appreciate your oversimplification of my position. I just don't care enough to keep arguing about it this late.

I oversimplify things not to mock, but to lighten the mood.

But fair enough. Like I said, that's all I have to say about this as well.

Ever heard of a character called "Dr. Rota?"

There is a reason why he is called Doctor......

But we'll never hear about.

By the way who is Jabroni? Is that a wrestler?

I never got the impression that generic Ki attacks were any hotter than room or body temperature.

Oh yeah, in 117, I also liked seeing Katopesla's face behind his helmet.

[up][up] Then why do they leave burns on people?

Gohan even used one to start a small fire, and there was nothing distinguishing it from other ki attacks.

There are times when they're completely unscathed though, so there must be some threshold of heat that has to be crossed before they're harmed.

Taking this shit way too seriously I say.

The reaction to the big moment of Hit vs Goku will be interesting though.

For what it's worth, I don't mind lava and large amounts of heat being able to harm Goku and Vegeta at this point. Like someone else said, Goku needed a special suit just to go down to the Earth's core.

[up][up][up] I mean obviously some people liked it, but that doesn't mean everyone is going to care.

And yea, Saiyans being affected by heat or lava isn't that egregious. Planet busters or not, they're still flesh and blood at the end of the day and I think we tend to forget that a lot.
