Well, the other option was to kinda sorta just let them kill Goku

Looking at it in retrospect, he really didn't need to fight them like that. I mean, I know why he did it (in order to stymie Cell's opportunity to become perfect) but all he did was create the very situation he wanted to avoid.

I too loved Supersonic Warriors. Maybe I'll have to get a 3DS eventually, if I want that, pokeymans, sanic heghog, Smash and other games.

...but Wii U has Hyrule Warriors.

And I have limited moneys.

[up] I don't think so. That would be cool if they did.

They're definitely doing Xenoverse. Why wouldn't they? They're in it!

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

No, Goku wasn't present. He had recovered and was on the lookout. The Androids had no way of finding him there, which meant they were zero threat to him.

Piccolo went in to fight a completely senseless battle.

[up] Kaiser has confirmed Xenoverse let's play.

[up] I'm not sure I really understand how Piccolo started a senseless fight. The Androids had found them. Even if Goku wasn't there, they likely would have killed or tortured the others to try and discover his location.

Considering the circumstances, I think Piccolo took the best course of action available to him.

They needed a place to sleep in, and Bulma's house would literally be the 3rd place they were going to look.

So go to Baba's place, or rent a room in a hotel in some random city.

Of course, "some random city" is probably the second place Cell would look, if only because he's hungry.

When the androids arrived at Kame House, I'm not sure what else Piccolo could have done but fight them.

I can accept that "bolthole" isn't a concept these people are familiar with.

I mean, Bulma's kind of one of the richest and smartest people on the planet, and she's had to deal with Saiyans and Demi-gods for ages.

She doesn't seem to have invented some sort of death-machine to deal with her friends if they go rogue, but. I imagine she probably could if she ever felt like it.

Capsule Corp is at least a place that theoretically could be defended. As opposed to random shithole in the mountains and random shithole in the ocean.

If you are going to be found anyway, an Island is certainly a better place to hide than a populated city

If the Androids decide to visit Bulma, though, that's the "turn off the Androids" plan down the drain. Her lab can't be easily defended from them.

Of course, it's not like the characters themselves thought that far, so meh.

It would be easily dependable if she made super defense robots.

And don't tell me it's impossible. Something 19-level would at least slow them down.

Vegeta humiliated 19, and 18 alone smoked Vegeta without much effort.

Something 19-level would maybe slow them down for that many seconds.

If the Z-Fighters had simply pointed out that Goku was already dying from a heart disease, maybe the Androids would've backed off?

Not like they or Gero would've had any way of knowing that medicine would arrive from the future.

Nah. They'd still have showed up and killed him for funsies, I'll bet.

And it's not like Goku dying stopped them before.

The androids were supposed to attack 3 years after Goku arrived, but Trunks said Goku didn't make it to the battle.

...you have a point, they still attacked the Z-Fighters and such. Maybe Gero was able to release them under better conditions that time? Or, they went the Chronicle route and just started having homicidal fun with their powers.

Someone put a cheat code (B,A,X,Y,UP,LEFT,DOWN,RIGHT,L,R) in Xenoverse and somehow kind of unlocked all the characters.

EVEN THE ONE'S WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO PLAY AS...

This includes: Demigra, Final Form Demigra, Towa, Mira, Supreme Kai of Time, Toki Toki (Who for some reason has 2 variations), SSJ4 Vegeta, Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, Imperfect Cell, Oozaru Vegeta, Oozaru Nappa, Oozaru Bardock, SSJO Baby, Saiyan Space Pod, Giru, Frog Ginyu, Time Patrol Sym, Time Patrol Syf, Time Patrol Nam, Time Patrol Mam, Time Patrol Maf and Shenron. (though he doesn't actually fight)

I wonder if the TFS team will try to do this cheat?
