But we just finished saying that Frieza was So Last Season.

Anyway, I just had a thought:

How is it decided which mind is in control during Potara fusion?

Goku and Vegeta seemed totally balanced as Vegito. Same with Kibito and the Supreme Kai (with a little bit more Supreme Kai on the top).

In contrast, we know so little of both the Old Kai and the Witch he fused with way back when that it's hard to tell how much of either of them is left.

I'm also curious as to what would happen if two characters with clashing character alignments fused together:

Say we had Nappa and I don't know.....Tien use the Potara earrings? What kind of mental state would the resultant being be in?

I may be wrong, but I seem to recall Vegeta being slightly dominant in Vegito, as well as the Supreme Kai completely overwriting Kibito.

I thought it was stated that it was related to power; the more powerful person has more influence, and if one person is just LEAGUES ahead of another, that person takes complete control. I might be misremembering, however.

If that was the case, then Goku should have been more dominant in Vegeta due to Super Saiyan 3.

Guess it's another thing Toriyama didn't think about.

I still seriously prefer the term "Arcosian" to "Changeling".

He blew up entire planets and slaughtered millions of innocents in his days as miscolored Vegeta.

I can't blame him, I'd be in a genocidal rage if I were stuck in a miscolored form too.

Miscolored Vegeta should be a character in Dragon Ball Xenoverse.

Miscolored Vegeta has been an alt in some Dragon Ball games, but making it a separate character would be odd...

Guess it's another thing Toriyama didn't think about.

Goku was not a Super Saiyan 3 when they fused. He could become one, but he was not one at that point in time.

It's kind of like the Kaioken: it's something he can do, but it doesn't count if you're looking at the characters' power as-is. No Super Saiyan transformation represents a Saiyan's actual power; they're multipliers. They simply modify.

You can change the skin color of your personally created character in DB Xenoverse.

This can only mean one thing... DARK SKINNED SUPER SAIYAN! IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!

I'm wary of using Arcosian, as it was never confirmed that their race and Frieza's race were one and the same. For all we know, Toriyama could retcon in something about the existing Arcosians being something totally distinct from Frieza's race.

Therefore, I typically go with Freezian smile

Well, one thing's for sure — they'll finally have an official name if they're available in character creation.

[up][up] That and the name was only used in the FU Nimation dub, so it's most likely not even official.

And this is why I use Changeling. It may not be official, but it is a long used fan-name for the race.

Nobody can agree on it, really. Hopefully Xenoverse will change that.

I say we call them the Douche faces.

Cause every single one of them is just that.

Edit: Just watched a clip of the Dragon Ball Z Abridged version of Krillin's break-up with Marron.

Wow. That's even worse than how the anime actually did it. Put the owned in the Krillin owned count.

Double post:

Now I just saw the Team Four Star version of Revenge of Cooler.

The 6th Dragon Ball Z movie holds special place in my heart as it was my first exposure to the series. I'd never seen anything like it before, so for a long time I held it as the standard for how battles in anime should be.

For some, there might be better movies, but for me, this one will always be the absolute best, with a perfect mixture of action and humour.

Naturally, Dragon Ball Abridged took all the little things I liked about it, and parodied the hell out of it until it was even better, and for that, I salute them.

Heh. Yeah.

Even years later when I watched this movie after finally seeing Frieza, I somehow missed that Coola becoming a robot and going to New Namek actually was copying him.

Maybe because there was still some differences.

And lets give a eulogy for Vegeta's dick.

Does this mean that Babidi can increase power levels, or unleash hidden potential?

He can unlock potential, yes. That's what he says when he does it to Vegeta.

Well, one thing's for sure — they'll finally have an official name if they're available in character creation.

That's doubtful. Heroes doesn't give you a race for them despite them being selectable as a "race". For reference, the game labels all the classes by race except for them, so there's no reason to think Xenoverse would be doing it any differently.

They will likely always be known as "Freeza's clan" because Toriyama has said multiple times they are closer to a family than a race.

Kind of funny. Selectable genders, skin color, and races are something you should expect from a character creation system, but in the DB game universe it is unexpected and awesome

Skin colour was UT though, I don't see the big deal about that. You could even make yourself blue.

So unlike gender/race, this shouldn't be a surprise at all.
