I'm gonna assume that 1st fight with Ten was filler, because I wasn't referring to the tournament.

Okay let's just say every one of Goku's rivals EXCEPT Vegeta beat him at least once.

Piccolo counts cause he killed him.

[up][up] No. The fight didn't finish before Yamcha ran away.

There's no way beating Goku with a heart virus counts as a legitimate win.

Essentially Yamcha was kicking his ass before Bulma turned up and frightened him into fleeing.

Master Roshi absolutely drubbed Goku. He even burnt energy blowing up the moon and still won.

Tien never legitimately beat Goku since Goku at one point got pinned by Chaotzu from out of the arena.

Taopaipai beat the stuffing out of Goku the first time.

King Piccolo not only beat Goku he did so so brutally Goku's heart stopped.

I mean, it's still a win but I thought they said that Goku could have easily won if he wasn't literally dying.

[up][up] No he wasn't. Yamcha knocked him back with the Wolf Fang Fist, Goku got up and immediately did the same thing back to him. Then Bulma wakes up and Yamcha runs away.

It was even.

The only reason Yamucha got hits in is because Karrot was hungry...

Wait why doesn't Vegeta beating Goku count? Unless the Oozaru form disqualifies him, Goku totally lost.

I consider the entire fight when it comes to the Vegeta battle.

So I count all stages, even when Krillin, Gohan and Yajirobe start to interfere. It's mainly a personal interpretation, but I feel that even if you could say Vegeta won the one on one fight (and he had to employ a trick used for destroying entire planets on one guy), he lost the overall war.

Also, Tien's win doesn't count, since it was pure luck, and if not for that, he'd have lost. He won the tournament, but he most definitely did not beat Goku, and he himself knew it.

I don't know why you would discount Ozaru. The transformation is a natural part of Saiyan biology, that Vegeta just happened to trigger it with artificial conditions. The power was still his own, and with it he greatly surpassed anything Goku could muster at that point and defeated him.

Does Vegeta even count that as a victory?

He doesn't because he knows he was still defeated anyway...

If he won the battle that still means he beat Goku

and the fact that he artificially triggered Oozaru if anything makes it even MORE his own power, as the artificial moon was created from his own power rather than relying on the moon

But he was intending to use the moon anyway...he just couldn't.

[up]Holy crap, Paragus.

Also Google Translate automatically translated the page and some of the names it gave are hilarious:

  • Bhdak (Bardock)

  • Gwangseong (Goten)

  • A vegetable (Vegetto)

  • Tianjin Rice (Tien)

  • Dylen (Jiren)

  • Peach white (Tao)

  • Cowra (Cooler)

Title just says it's a character popularity poll.

Seems to be Japanese fans voting in it though.
