no fighterz sucks and it's the worst thing ever

...

of course i'm enjoying fighterz. Yamcha is freaking badass and so fun to play, and there are a variety of interesting gamestyles to play and try out all the time.

Yeah, and I love how all of Yamcha's moves are "Wolf Fang Fist: X". It's hilarious. I can imagine him calling out his attacks, confusing his enemy as Wolf Fang Fist can apparently mean about 50 different things now.

HAH There are no rules for good writing. And Ten being stronger has nothing to do with good writing.

That is news to me. I guess Tien needs to rethink his training methods especially if he has Chaiotzu as a training partner.

Just asking. If Krillin was 75'000... why didn't he just kill Vegeta? Vegeta was nowhere near that strong when they met when Bulma was present.

It was a gradual process. He just kept getting stronger after the Grand Elder unlocked his potential. I've heard it might have even been possible that 75,000 wasn't his total potential, just the last value given.

Hold on, wasn't Krillin weaker than Vegeta in the Saiyan saga? And didn't Vegeta get stronger in the Namek/Frieza arc? Vegeta had zenkai boosts on Namek and he was much stronger than Krillin and Gohan at that point in the series.

I'm throwing "why has no one else wished their potential unlocked" or "why has no one else asked Goku to IT them to new Namek so they can ask the Guru to unlock their potential" on the "stuff they should have done but never did" pile.

There is no argument that he's stronger than Kuririn.

Did I misread this or are you now saying Tien is stronger than Krillin?

Anyway, since we're doing this again, while I can get people being sick of Tien fans trying to make him more than he is, I can kinda get it.

Unique design, and some of the craziest techniques the series had ever seen (he's got three eyes for super vision, can sprout two extra arms, and even learned to fucking split himself into extra bodies, to say nothing of the Solar Flare, which was still being used well into Z).

Plus, while Krillin was totally outclassed by Goku, Tien is one of the few rivals Goku has had who can say he had at least a slim chance of beating him.

...and then Toriyama says fuck him. I'm done.

Now he's admittedly not able to bring much else to the table since he's stoic serious guy, and as others have stated, Piccolo and Vegeta do that better...but that's because Toriyama seemed to come up with better long term plans for them, while Tien had the poor luck of simply being Goku's rival.

....But head, Krillin is stronger without a doubt.

Rather than a wish, I feel like unlocking potential would be the kind of thing that Dende would just learn/know how to do. Because of mystical Namekian shit and all that.

Krillin didn't reach his peak value of 75,000 until during the Frieza fight, I believe.

If he was 75,000 as soon as Guru touched him, he wouldn't have just been able to blow Vegeta away, he'd have trashed Recoome too.

Krillin has the ability to grow hair. He chooses to be bald. Tien does not have the luxury of willing baldness.

Ergo, Krillin is superior. tongue

You know, that makes sense in a series where your power level is directly proportional to the length of your hair

That stopped being a rule when Beerus, Zeno, and Jiren came along.

I think Mistare Fusion hit the nail on the head when he said that Chaotzu is Tien's weakpoint. Piccolo has Gohan, who is unique and interesting on his own, but Chaotzu is basically just Tien's wingman. So Piccolo eclipsed Tien.

...which I would be fine with if they then just stopped having Tien turn up. Even his sacrifice, as awesome as it is, just means that other characters have to look more stupid in an arc that's already an idiot plot. So honestly that should just not be there. It would change nothing else really. He adds nothing other characters don't do better, he never gets the chance to really fight because no matter what you can do if you don't have the power level you don't count, so he should have just retired. Opened his own dojo about 10 years before he eventually did.

Zeno & Jiren are from different universes where the laws of physics function differently.

[up][up][up][up]Zen-Oh is actually super weak in combat, he's just super powerful in godlike powers or whatever. Also Jiren has some sick chest hair we can't see because of his uniform.
