Oh, that's actually neat. So, like, having a Shiny Frieza or recoloring Vegeta's armor to be pink like that shirt.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!It's a less bloody version of Anarchy Reigns, an online beat'em up with four versus four and stellar graphics. It still looks pretty cool though, and it's got my attention since it's actually being localized. Unless Heroes got localized without my knowing.
I like how this is Bill's first English appearance as well, and his line, "All of it? (beat) I'll destroy everything."
Also, somebody took Vegeta's fight with Bills and put it to Vegeta's SSJ theme. Check it.

Interesting fan art of Frieza with a child.
Not exactly safe-for-work, Frieza's battle-damaged and bloody, but interesting nonetheless. I was actually looking for pictures of Bills... Beers...

I prefer when the video games have you transform in battle rather than making transformations separate character slots.
There are some exceptions, I prefer Fusions like Gotenks or really weird cases like Majin Buu to have separate character slots, I guess instances where you can say it is not the same character anymore and I do not mind having characters who changed a lot over time divided up (young Gohan, older Gohan-Cooler, Metal Cooler) but after a certain point it all feels like padding.
Modified Ura-nage, Torture RackThere was gameplay on Youtube, but the video was removed for some reason.
1. Cooler and Bojangles did absolutely nothing.
2. Shouldn't Whis have pretty much killed Buu by blinking at him?
3. That gameplay looks... sorta lame.
4. Trunks stop interrupting the fight. Why are you even there watching 5 villains, of which two or three of them could snap you in two, and a morally-ambiguous god's attendant battle out?

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!I think the best fight in the series is the Goku vs Vegeta battle, and the Namek and Cell arcs also have some good ones. They get shorter as the series goes along though, which is a shame, overall I can't say which I'd prefer as the Piccolo Daimao fight and both Piccolo vs Goku and Piccolo vs Kuririn were really good as well. Most fights before the Piccolo Daimao arc weren't very good, though, so I guess Dragon Ball Z would be the best.
This is only comparing the manga since I haven't see the anime of Dragon Ball to compare.
I still like Goku vs Frieza the best, as long as all the filler and padding are gone. You've got insane amounts of buildup for the fight, just because Frieza was The Man Behind the Man for the Saiyans, he was established as being so far beyond anyone else, and he had a great fight against the supporting characters that ultimately was futile. The stakes are just ridiculously high.
I think I'd have to place it above Cell just because with Final Form Cell, there was never really any point where it looked like Vegeta or Trunks or someone were winning. Frieza had a good back-and-forth as he changed forms, and when he finally fights Goku, it's still insane how outclassed Goku is, and it's only after two last-ditch attempts that both failed and a death that for all we knew at the time was permanent that we finally get the big pivotal SSJ moment. Also, the scale felt really great. Here they are on some alien planet where everything's just going nuts. Giant holes opening up in the ocean, lightning everywhere, mountains getting blown up... I still really love the moment where Goku tries to catch Frieza's attack and gets pushed back, splitting a mountain right down the center. Cell was a good fight, but it was back in the middle of nowhere somewhere on earth again, and not as much got completely wrecked. Frieza just felt like a much bigger, much more personal threat.
The very best, like no one ever was. Check out my Spider-Man fanfic here! [1]Eh, I think the whole Freeza fight was pretty terrible. Everything before Freeza's final form was completely pointless, because at no point did he actually come close to losing and just kept pulling out more transformations when he felt like it, even if he was already winning, and than against Goku, once he's finally out of transformations, he just pulls percentage power out of his ass and starts using that to continuously get stronger as he feels like. It's just such a damn drag and the fight doesn't end nearly soon enough once Goku is a Super Saiyan.
I think that, narratively, the entire Frieza sequence is the best battle in the series. However, as Saiga pointed out, the mechanics of the fight itself were weak. When people complain that Dragon Ball is just people going, "Aha! Now MY power level is stronger for no reason!" "Oh, yeah? Well now MINE is stronger! Muwahahaha!" Stalling and shouting and raising power levels rather than fighting, the Frieza battle is what they're talking about more than anything else.
In terms of the fight choreography, I love the Nappa/Vegeta fights.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.

You can edit the colours of costumes and stuff like Freeza's purple parts.
Also, it's possible that there are no alternate costumes in this.
