I mean i guess it's more of a diss to blue and maybe Golden Freeza than anything because that form is usually the contentious one.

Screw you blue, you made Super Saiyan God irrelevant and a reason we aren't ever getting it in Fighterz....outside of another Goku since the devs really love their Gokus

Maybe if Super Saiyan Blue actually did something, people would like it. It was made irrelevant in the very movie in which it was introduced.

I like Blue, but I'd rather see it getting treated as something between super saiyan 2 and 3 for God, than as Super Saiyan's replacement as a go-to form.

I feel like Blue and regular God should have switched appearances.

I quite like how this artist tackles the form. God form going Super, rather than a recolor of standard Super.

Isn't that just Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken?

That's just stacking 3 distinct things on top of each other.

I like Blue because I think Blue Kaioken is the most beautiful transformation design in the entire franchise. Goku's outfit goes from orange and blue to red and purple, his skin is tinged red, and his bright blue hair cuts through the red tinge. The fiery blue aura on the inside with the red spikey aura on the outside just looks absolutely gorgeous.

I would have saved Blue for Vegeta to unlock at the tournament of power, and until then both he and Goku would just stick with Red for Super.

I'd have the God forms as uncomfortable, as something not quite meant to be used, a last resort. Even if Blue was unlocked as soon as it did (but, using God as the way to utterly outclass pre-Golden Freeza), don't have Goku and Vegeta start every fight by going Blue and flailing angrily; that's what Super Saiyan 2 is for.

One thing that hurt Blue to me outside of its debut and appearance is how Super overuse it even in moments where frankly it shouldn't have been used. Like, why did Goku saw the need to whip out Blue against Krillin of all people?

That and the fact Vegeta never bothered to use red ever and we never saw him get the form though i guess that's always been Vegeta first.

Would you believe the only time we ever gotten to see Vegeta get a form outside of anime made up stuff was Majin (if you count it as pseudo-Super Saiyan 2) and Super Saiyan 4?

Okay, that time actually had a clear justification. He was testing Krillin's resolve for if he was going to be faced with god-tier opponents in the tournament. Goku outright said that, very clearly. The only instances I have a problem with is when he's fighting someone at a slight disadvantage in his base form and then he uses SSB to finish the fight when SS1 would have worked just as well.

It felt like Super wanted to mix up what forms the characters were using, which I could understand, but there wasn't a lot of thought put into whether it was appropriate for the situation or not.

An easy way to devalue something is to constantly reuse it. Even if [up][up] is "justified" it doesn't change the fact that it makes an already lackluster form even less unique.

It has an obvious reason why they did that. Blue is much easier to animate than say SSG or SSJ 3 which could have been used and the scene wouldn't have change much really. But no, we have to use blue because we are under a budget tongue

The multiverse has no reason to have everything be god tier FFS. There is a reason Buu was a god killer, or why Dabura was so feared.

GINYU was an exceptional mortal.

Much as I liked that Gohan and Android 17 aren't scrubs anymore (well, theoretically in Gohan's case), the fact that they both managed to seemingly reach Blue's level doesn't help either.

Not that I think everyone in the cast needs to be in the frontlines, I'm not the sort of feat-fetishist that thinks being good in a fight is the end-all, be-all of a character, but while it is undeniably nice to see that you don't need God Ki to be in the big leagues, it does puts it into question why God Ki is such a big deal in the first place.

And I don't even dislike Blue, even though it ranks nowhere near my personal favorites either.

Not every universe, just the ones whose mortal levels were bad enough that they had to be in the Tournament of Power. And even then, no one wanted everyone on those teams to be challenges to Goku and Vegeta, just more than 2 people from universe 10.

Legit the only advantage god ki has is that it can't be sensed.

That's it. Somehow plenty of folks can kick the ass of Goku and geets without being divine themselves.

"I'd have the God forms as uncomfortable"

Funnily enough, that'd actually fit how Goku saw the form pretty well.

It's "borrowed" power, not something he truly earned or achieved by himself, making it so he avoid using the form unless things were truly dire would be perfectly in-character for him.

[up]Mind, the fact that GoD are trained into the job and Vegeta did match Beerus in Battle of Gods, however briefly, shows that they were never meant to be unbeatable in the first place.

I just think they could give God Ki something else to make it stand out from regular, like how Destruction Energy erases everything it touches.

If they had decided to make only a select few people ever get god ki, I'd have said to just make it so that someone with god ki can only be meaningfully harmed by someone else with god ki.

Number #5: It's Super Saiyan 4, as well as Kirran's Solo Show, since neither Lani or Kaiser are in the video.
