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.

[lol] Really? Didn't he fight the Ginyu Force? They could've chosen them. Hahaha.

He fought Recoome in filler, and I do believe they have that fight in his Galaxy Mode, but not as the main battle because it only happened in filler and as such isn't as important.

And also because Yamcha being killed by the Saibaiman is made fun of in every video game the two appear in.

Yeah, Recoome is one of his opponents in Galaxy Mode but not the boss.

Also, anyone who gets hit by the Saibaman's ultimate attack is left in the "Yamcha Pose" afterward. It's quite funny.

Also, not only is Yamcha's boss battle against a lone Saibaman, but a previous regular battle of his is against a swarm of (weaker AI'd) Saibamen, and one of his team battles is teamed up with a Saibaman. It's like they ship Yamcha and Saibamen.

Hey, they can have a relationship without sex.

Given the Saibaiman's lack of genitalia it's the only relationship they can have.

Yamcha screwed Toriyama's daughter, and that's why he's been screwed over ever since.

Just unlocked Seal Near Death Start III like you were talking about. I swear, it's like the AI is focused less on winning the match and more on preventing me from fulfilling the perfect actions. Huddling close to me when I'm trying to do one that requires I stand far away, letting themselves get hit by every attack EXCEPT the ones I need, and so on.

One thing to note: in the "what if Cell accidentally absorbed Krillin" story from Budokai 1, Yamcha is still soundly taken out by Cellin. He even says that matching him with Yamcha "just isn't fair".

On the subject of What If stories, I really need to get myself a legit copy of Supersonic Warriors, because that as some of the most fun What If scenarios I've yet seen, and because, it being out of print and therefore not sending any money to the developers aside, it simply can't be played properly with a keyboard.

But back on the subject of What If stories. It's ineresting to see that there is apparently a What If for every charater, and then a story mode for what actually happened. Intriguingly, the Goku What If is entirely separate from the canon story.

But the most fun are What If stories for unusual characters. Piccolo's story has him using the Dragon Balls to ressurect his father, so he can merge with him and get strong enough to fight Buu.

Or the story where, after getting murderized by Frieza and resurrected, Krillin is the one to defend Earth from Gero after Goku dies of the heart disease. His story goes so far as to have him defeat Buu, after some Otherworld training with Goku, mind.

But the most hilarious is the Dr. Gero story. He repeatedly tests his androids on simulated hologram things, but when he sends them in to fight the real thing, you control his enemies and beat the oil out of him. Even when he busts out Cell. It gets to the point where, in the end, Piccolo asks Goku why he's letting him leave again, and Goku basically says "he's so pathetic that he doesn't pose a real threat at this point. And I'm actually curious to see what he'll try next." So the moral of Gero's what if is "Gero Sucks"

Just behind that for sheer wackiness is the Gotenks story, where they wind up ripping a hole in space-time and fighting Frieza, among others. Makes up for Gotenks being so overpowered, anyway.

It doesn't seem that Supersonic Warriors 2's were as funny.

I'm curious what Yamcha's is. And Super Buu's, for that matter.

Didn't quite get that far.

Probably won't, until I have an actual cartridge of the game. As I said, it doesn't work with a keyboard. Powering up and using super moves requires too many button presses at the same time. More than my keyboard would register.

Yamcha isn't in Supersonic Warriors.

I disliked those games. The gamplay was kinda bad and the what-ifs were worse (though they had their moments).

What's Cooler's what-if? Spanking all of the Z-fighters without effort and incinerating Gero before he can release 17 and 18 after Goku dies of heart disease?

He rescues Mecha Frieza, and makes him his lackey. Mecha Frieza proceeds to try to betray him and help the humans, so Cooler finds out and kills him.

He hates his brother and would like nothing else but to eliminate him. Then he'll turn his attention to us and burn us all into ash.

I like how Frieza's space tweet of "lol blewed up filthy monkey planet" has a response from Cooler underneath saying "You're a prick". I guess calling each other pricks is what brothers do.

You know, I just noticed Turles has gotta be wickedly strong relative to the time period his movie is set in. Goku's Kaioken x20 fails to even phase him, and given Goku's power level at the time it would suggest Turles had a power level of around 600,000. Before the Namek arc.

...I kinda wonder what Super Saiyan Nappa would look like. Long golden moustache?

I'm pretty sure he only uses KK10 in that movie, but yeah, he's got to be really strong. This is after eating the fruit though.

And according to DBO bald Saiyans grow a mohawk in Super Saiyan.
