Man, they killed the fuck out of Cell.

I really liked the look of Vegeta's Godly Final Flash.

It would've been funnier if it hadn't actually killed him.

Always is funny to see those over-the-top-cinematics that all deal equal damage for the sake of balance.

A DBZ fighthing game where the relative power is accurate to canon would be downright unplayable. Like if you put Ten vs Super Gotenks Buu, none of Ten moves would be able to deal any damage period and he'd be one shotted by a basic kick.

Xenoverse is as close as you can get and still have a remote possibility of winning with a weaker character.

(Despite what TFS might say, it's not all about having bigger numbers than your opponent. The reason it was all about numbers for them was that, well, they weren't very good at the game.

I've used Mr. Satan to kill Beerus and Whis. That should be more than enough proof that skill (and some luck) is all that matters.

What started out as a pleasant afternoon of drugs and surgery has not gone as planned.

If you couldn't win with any character it'd be a shitty game.

Yeah, that Ozaru is Gohan.

One of the RPGs gave the exhausted Ozaru Vegeta a BP of 70,000 which is still quite the loss in power but Vegeta had already been injured and hit with a Kaio-ken x 4 Kamehameha before that so he wouldn't have been at 18,000 when he made the fake moon.

Also after his tail is cut off, he weakens to the point where an angered Gohan is able to put up something of a fight, while still losing. So Vegeta was probably very weak by that point.

So, on this Wiki, Future Trunks/18 is listed as a Fan-Preferred Couple. Anyone know how true this is? I've almost never seen this pairing elsewhere.

It... is? I've never seen that pairing before. I've also never really seen any shipping in Dragon Ball before.

[up] There is a lot of fluffy romantic stuff in DB fics, but most people seem to leave the canon couples alone from what I've seen. The exception being the Goku/Vegeta slashers.

I don't like shippers. They ruin everything.

#16724: May 15th 2015 at 6:17:27 PM

...holy crap, guys. I think I GET the Buu Saga now.

Toriyama was still trying to make Gohan take up the main character position. His role in the Buu Saga was just like the role Goku used to have - he was removed from the plot early on and taken to another place where he found new ways to train and get stronger (King Kai's planet vs the Supreme Kai's planet). Meanwhile, back on Earth, the rest of the supporting cast try and fail to defeat the new threat (Nappa vs Majin Buu). It looks like all hope is lost, but then Goku/Gohan show up at the last minute, and totally curbstomp the villain everyone else was having trouble with.

It explains why Toriyama said he decided Gohan wasn't suitable for the main hero role. He tried writing him like he wrote Goku - like he wrote his main character - only for him to realise it just wasn't as satisfying.

Of course, I'd argue that a lot of that was because Arc Fatigue was really setting in at that point. Gotenks had failed way too often for anyone to even care that Majin Buu was getting beaten up on.

But this explains why the ending of the Buu Saga felt so rushed - Toriyama didn't decide to bring Goku back until the very last minute! It probably explains why Vegeta was brought back so quickly, as well.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

It's definitely not an example. I have seen it, but it has a small following I think I've only seen one usage of it that wasn't Trunks keeping future 18 around to rape her.

Kuririn x 18 is definitely a much larger ship. Even though Vegeta x 18 Kuririn x dying alone is far better.

[up] No offence, but all of that is pretty obvious.
