1) Nice to see Tien, 18, and Piccolo get to do something, though how relevant they'll be is of course questionable.
2) Is that Anubis or something?
3) Did Gohan just go Super Saiyan in spite of his Old Kai power-boost? Ugh, failure.
4) Neither a criticism nor a compliment, but I simply cannot take Goku's Japanese voice seriously. So much helium...

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Aw, I like Masako Nozawa.
But then I've only ever watched the Japanese version, and I started with the original Dragon Ball.
Eh, Tien didn't get screwed as badly as the other humans in the cast did. I remember him fighting Super Buu at one point, distracting him while Goku desperately searched for Gohan to fuse with.
Whereas Krillin ceased to be plot relevant after Cell Saga and Yamcha ceased to be plot relevant after coming into existence as a character.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I'm sure he's there. Krillin at least has the out of being 18's hubby, so even if he's not in the fighting he's at least likely to be a Satellite Character at the worst. And what is this Yamcha you speak of?
Oh, god, I slipped and almost typed 19 instead of 18 in that second sentence.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!I was really surprised to see Pilaf and his lackeys. I figured Toriyama forgot they existed at some point, like he did with Lunch.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I like how in Raging Blast 2's Galaxy Mode, everyone's boss battle is against a foe that's significant to them, such as their final major opponent (Tien's is Semi-Perfect Cell), the person that killed them (Cell's is SSJ 2 Gohan), their most significant battle, ect. Yamcha's boss battle is a lone Saibaman, the same weak enemy that most other characters have to fight in hordes as an early battle. Accurate, yes, but no less humiliating.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!If you want to see a real burn, then there was this one "What if" scenario (can't recall what game it was) where Krillin gets absorbed by Cell instead of 18. The result is Cell nearly dying to Yamcha and then getting murdered by Tien.
Back on topic though (this is DB Abridged after all), movies 1 and 2 felt... pretty bad. Maybe I'm just not used to 2008 quality anymore after all this ridiculous new content.
EDIT:Is there a general DB topic anywhere around here anyway? Or should we use this one? I'd hate to cause unwanted clutter but I've seen other forums generally use Abridged threads as a general DBZ megathread.
EDIT 2: How's Two Saiyans Play? I think they just released another episode of that.

Heh, I remember that Budokai 1 what if with Cell. It made me think Kuririn was the weakest human instead of the strongest! But then again, it's just Cell's nightmare.
@Tobias
Not quite. And by not quite, I mean that's not at all how it happened. All Tenshinhan did was deflect a blast meant to kill Dende. Then Goku shows up, Kienzan's Boo in half, and Boo's legs knock Tenshinhan cold with a single kick.
There's this
. It's kind of hard to move conversations from here to there though, I guess.

Obviously, or he wouldn't be in the game except as a training mode dummy to test attacks on.
I think the best team match we did was Yamcha, Videl, Guldo, Saibaman, and Chiaotzu(sp?) vs. Super Gogeta, Super Buu (Gohan Absorbed), Super Janemba, SSJ 3 Broly, and Ultimate Gohan.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Yeah, 2.
I was just playing it (My brother left but let me continue), the Galaxy Mode sure is stupid with the ridiculous challenges it throws at you (Such as having to take down two or three opponents with your health so low you die in one hit, or your foe recovering health faster than you can hurt them). But some are fun. I was doing a team mission of Goku and Vegeta vs. Meta-Cooler, meant to go Super Saiyan 3 but accidentally fused them into Gogeta, shrugged, and started pummeling Meta-Cooler before my sister interrupted to play her own game.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Yeah Galaxy Mode can be a bitch like that. You can negate the near-death start but unlocking the seals for those is just as much a pain as beating the near-death battles anyway!
Also, this is random but I'd like to see Team Four Star hired to do a serious dub of a video game. It'd never happen, I know, but still.

I haven't heard much about that.
