Its a joke, but its also a real mod you can download for MK 64. Check the description of the video.
Necessary for which universes...?
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I fully admit that the Space Poachers and Yurin were unnecessary, but the manga skipping Goku vs Krillin, Goku vs Gohan, Freeza vs the U9 Assassins, and much of the other Universe's recruitment is a big strike against it, because those were handled so well in the anime and the manga just dropped the ball because it feels the need to rush through everything.
The best possible version of Super would be somewhere in-between the anime's slow pace and the manga's fast pace, but I'd say that, of the two, the anime's pace is better. The manga just rushes through stuff way too fast to really get much of anything out of it one way or another, while the anime takes more risks and has some lows, but it also has some great highs that the manga doesn't even bother attempting.
Half...?
Character moments in DB, don't be ridiculed...it's too late for such a thing.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Character moments and cool fights are only as good if they add anything to the story. Otherwise, it's wasting our time.
The only loss I will cite as being big is Goku vs. Gohan, but considering how much the Anime dropped the ball with him and his highly probable elimination this weekend, cutting out his bit seems appropriate. If anything, the Anime made him feel more important than he actually was (Hey, remember when he was supposed to be the "Team Captain" :V)
Goku and Freeza against the Assassins was pointless, nothing came from it and Freeza ended up joining anyway. That said, I do feel they glossed over a few things, but nothing major.
Goku vs. Krillin was also pointless for a similar reason to Gohan, except in this case there was absolutely no reason to believe Krillin was going to contribute. Hell, he only beats two opponents before he goes out. So what's even point of building him up? The Manga changes Goku's reasoning for even recruiting him citing he's "good at running away" rather than "Good with skils" that the Anime tried to play up but ultimately never followed up on.
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.That, to be honest, depends entirely on how the story itself is plotted. The Super anime is written often in a more episodic way with a lot of character emphasis, such that the character moments often are in essence the plot - whether or not a person enjoys that is up to them, but that is the way it tends to interpret the stories Toriyama gives them - and it's especially noticeable in the TOP where the actual plotline as interpreted by Toei is repetitive and lacking in substance, and the anime intends for us to find consistency and closure through the character reactions to things instead.
Granted, it doesn't really succeed at being the kind of story it wants to be either, but it's still trying to be that kind of story.
The manga itself seems to be going for a more specifically macro/arc driven approach with less character focus, as Dragonball was written previously, so it has no use for the character moments, but that's because it's written that way.

That glorious transformation sequence.
But yeah, it was mostly just to highlight the whole "I dunno, Freeza might have ulterior motives" which goes without saying, so yeah it could've been cut.
So recruiting 17 & finding out what he's been doing was a filler episode? I can admit space poaching & Yurin were pointless fillers, but Krillin's shows he was focusing more on his training & tactics, Gohan was to show how much more powerful he became during his training with Piccolo, & Freeza was to show how risky & dangerous he to be part of Team U7.

Ah.
