Since the time freeze seems to be global, it can't be used with a support. The paralysis can, of course.

For the time freeze, he really just needs a good of killing his opponent while everything is stopped.

Also, cardio.

Regarding Gotenks vs. Super Buu, doesn't Trunks later remark that their power was about equal? Or is that an anime/dub line only?

I think Guldo's power is less about stopping time by holding his breath, and more about being able to stop time, but only as long as he is able to hold his breath.

Functionally the same tho.

Reminds me of Jojo which had a3 characters with the power to stop time. He could only do it for a few seconds before it got too much for his body(implication being that his organs don't work right while time is stopped) and time had to start running again. The first character with the power is a vampire who gets better at the power over time and before dying can stop time for 11 seconds(with him being able to do it forever if he got a few more weeks of training with it). The second character is a human who can only do it for at most 5 seconds before he has to resume time. The third character is a AU version of the first who is not a vampire and thus has a hard limit. He has gotten so good at it that he actually wins the final battle of the book because he knows his limits and how to make traps, counter attacks or just plan his next moves in that time.

[up][up][up] That line wasn't in anything canonical that I know of

Trunks only admits that Gohan is probably stronger than Gotenks

You might be thinking of when Trunks claims Gohan and Gotenks are equal, but Goten shoots that down immediately.

They might play the Xenoverse DLC. They did mention they were done with the main game specifically at the end of part 24. They might just want to take a break before playing through the Bardock/Broly and DLC quests.

They might be waiting for DLC 3 so they can do it all at once.

...Can't quite blame em considering the first two DL Cs are just GT and more GT, GT harder. GT with a vengeance.

They could do the Bardoly story, though. If only to laugh at how off Broly's voice is this time.

And the nonsense with the Power Ball.

The time freeze is defensive. The paralysis is his utility.

He's like a more powerful Chiaotzu who can easily avoid being harmed by an enemy smart enough to kill the Utility character before engaging the Tank.

Maybe instead of a pecent, which really doesn't mean anything to me, they just state what phase of progress it's in.

[down]I know they state the phase currently. I'm saying the additional percent doesn't really add anything.

Guldo's a great support character and he's probably aware of it and tries to prove he can handle things alone because the rest of the Ginyu Force could easily handle the same situations on their own.

Huh, guess they're saving the Broly stuff for after GT.

Or they didn't know about it because they're idiots.

That has happened.

It's been the source of most of the entertainment value.

For example:

KIRRAN: "It's canon in Xenoverse"

...Kirran, Trunks just said "in this other timeline" not even a minute ago.

You dumbass.

...Mind, there is a thing coming up that might sorta-kinda redeem GT a little. That'll be fun.

EDIT: Oh goddammit.

LANI: "Oh wow are you gonna get in the middle of a freaking Kaiju fight."

...It's like missed opportunity is just GT's thing.

Xenoverse sort of does that in the Bardoly story, with you in the middle of Broly vs Oozaru Bardock. Though I guess that's not much different than what the GT bit just did.

I didn't know that bit about GT Goku talking with Beerus. I do know that if you fight Whis as SS 4 Goku, Whis says somethiing like "that's a cool form. You'd make a good god of destruction."

Beerus and Whis have reactions to Super Saiyan 4 Goku.

This might give us an idea of how powerful Goku and Vegeta are.

EDIT: Apparently, it's a pun from Freeza's VA about how powerful he is. With how bullshit the power levels eventually became though, I wouldn't be surprised if this was true.
