The difference between Freeza and everyone around him and the difference between Vegeta and everyone around him is nowhere near CLOSE to similar, though.

Vegeta, while definitely far above the others enough to make it impossible for them to win through brute force even if they all got to working together, was not enough that he was literally impossible for them to manage if they got clever.

Freeza dominated the fight based entirely on his superior power. Vegeta was fighting a set of opponents that could actually match up to him when they got clever. The Z fighters, no matter how clever they got and how hard they fought, just could not match up to Freeza.

To put it in perspective: When pushed to his absolute limits during that fight, Goku was superior in power to Vegeta, using Kaioken x4. When pushed to his absolute limits during that fight prior to SSJ, Goku was, at best, at half of Freeza's power, and the most impressive thing he did was burn Freeza's hand a bit.

Also, the Spirit Bomb used against Freeza failed because Freeza was too strong. The Spirit Bomb against Vegeta failed because Vegeta stopped Goku from using it in the first place.

Yeah. I think we need to drop this before it gets a little too heated.

........Best technique in the series:

Boss Carrot's Carrot touch, Devilmite beam, Time stop, or Para Bros Dance spell?

Go!!!!

I'm not convinced that the full power spirit bomb Goku was going to use would have beat Oozaru Vegeta but there's no point debating that one way or the other because we can't know for sure.

Fuck Dumplin.

I swear, I got sick of watching that because those guys were so determined to make dumb jokes that they clearly didn't care about actually playing the game.

I love TFS, but they did not know what they were doing, and seeing them redo certain parts over and over again got aggravating after a while.

Also, I watch Team Four Star's Let's Plays partly because I think they're funnier when they're not doing well at the games they play. I understand not finding them all that worthwhile, even if I come off as hypocritical because I never cared for the Game Grumps.

@Rob

That actually changed after a while, after they started to figure out what they were doing.

Apparently, someone got through to them and told them "Grind up a bit and use healing items, you dipshits". That, and at least Lani and Kirran played the game for themselves, which means they learned how to play so they sucked considerably less. The Early Game Hell hit them hard, but as soon as they started treating the game more like an RPG with action elements and less like a fighting game with RPG elements, their performance got a lot better.

[up]The Game Grumps thing was different because the Game Grumps were playing poorly on purpose and deliberately not reading anything.

The only let's plays of theirs I like are the "Krillin Plays" series. I just can't get into the rest of them.

I don't watch their non-Dragonball let's plays.

[up][up]Ironically, Lanipator is actually incredibly good at playing horror games and can No-Sell pretty much anything in terms of scares. Krillin is pretty much the polar opposite of Lanipator.

It's a shame his Let's Play of Amnesia is no longer around, because it really showcases how good Lani is at playing horror games. Guy maintains his cool all the way through, has plenty of hilarious jokes, actually manages to figure out the plot twist before it happens and makes even the times he stops to read interesting.

It's good to hear they got more serious, though I don't think I'll be going back to it for a while anyway.

Wait. What do they call them then?

Just senzu.

I do like the Krillin Plays a lot.

...Not big on the TFS Plays that aren't Dragon Ball or Star Wars.

...Think this is a conversation better suited for the Dragon Ball Abridged thread than here.

Like, discussing regular Dragon Ball in the Dragon Ball Abridged thread makes slightly more sense.

SO.

I think it'd be cool if we had a special for Future Trunks.

Now I know we've beat it into the ground that nothing cool happens for Future Trunks, because all the threats are dead and all that's left is for him to rebuild the world.

To which I say

Fuck that noise, make up a threat, one that pushes him to go Super Saiyan 2.

Why?

Because Trunks transforming to Super Saiyan Vegeta's theme would be fucking sick, as every scene is improved by that music. Observe.

How about an animated special based on Xenoverse's plot? That should be cool.

The problem with Future Trunks's timeline is it's...just him. And Bulma. Everyone else is dead. And don't get me wrong, Future Trunks is awesome, but you need more than just one person fighting. It would be a bit boring otherwise.

Unless they end up creating new characters in his timeline to fight with him.

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