Definitely true on Earth, but I wonder if the "rules" work differently in the World of Void? Part of the reason the tournament was held there was so fighters could take advantage of the full extent of their powers. Plus, Whis is always indicating that Goku and Vegeta should work together, and that they'd be formidable if they teamed up.

Fusing into Gogeta wouldn't break the rules, it's just a kind of technique. So assuming Vegeta and Goku have the stamina to maintain it, maybe they won't instantly split?

If Gogeta doesn't happen, we might just get more aura-stacking from Goku. That's cool, too, but I wanna see Gogeta do that awesome move where he casually lifts off the ground, floats towards his opponent, and suddenly they've been hit by 100 attacks at once and they're full of huge dents in their body. :madmax:

It's "What If Freeza Was a Coward"

To facilitate this, Frost is notably weaker than Freeza.

Actually that's why he's cool??????? 90% of Super's whole steeze is 'Fight smarter not harder' with people using goofy gimmicks smart to put up a decent fight and Frost is the Super version of Freeza. He knows he can't win a head on fight so he takes what he can get. Being a super coward and having to take pot shots is an interesting twist on Freeza's character (which was 'I am an unstoppable force of desire of destruction and will crush all').

Everytime I see this clip Gogeta just comes off as this otherworldly, supremely powerful being. He doesn't even use any beam attacks, he vaporized Janemba from the inside-out! SS4 Gogeta actually feels weaker in comparison.

That's because GT writes Gogeta as if he was Gotenks. They might as well be two completely different characters, to the point where Xenoverse 2 has SS Gogeta criticize SS4 Gogeta's personality, despite being the same person.

Even in battle they're totally different, SS Gogeta just sets off with an amazing physical combo that includes disappearing to finish with one of the coolest energy attacks in the whole series that, if we're to believe its name (Soul Punisher), works by literally destroying the enemy's soul (or purifying it, seeing how it turned Janemba back into Saike Demon). Meanwhile, SS4 Gogeta just fucks around during his one fight and uses moves we've seen everyone else use, apart from the Big Bang Kamehameha which was kind of cool but nowhere near as cool as the Soul Punisher (plus is, by definition, weaker than his Potara counterpart's Final Kamehameha, being based on a weaker move for no explainable reason).

You're 100% correct. SS4 Gogeta is weaker because he's from the inferior series, Dragon Ball GT, a horrible mistake which must be erased by Beerus in order to restore balance to Universe 7.

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

The original appearance of Gogeta felt really scary and powerful, like it was clear unifying Goku and Vegeta in a single body with all their strength combined was just this ungodly thing, too strong to exist, surpassing understanding

Vegito afterwards by comparison had a lot more personality but just felt like they were kind of mashed together into a new dude, who's strong, but not in some weird supernatural way or anything. Vegito fits better with how the show handles Goku and Vegeta ascending to God status and everything. Vegito feels very Toriyama whereas Gogeta, while cool, seemed like maybe he was too cool to exist as a Toriyama thing. he was flash and coolness and none of the weird goofiness that shows up when this stuff actually happens in dragonball

SSJ4 Gogeta was just done by someone who wanted to sell toys or whatever, I don't think they put any care into it. maybe he's closer to how Toriyama would have handled it? i dont know. why is his hair red anyway

I don't think GT Gogeta is closer to Toriyama's intent. Toriyama clearly saw Vegetto as a middle point between the Toei fusions: he has Goku's relaxed personality and Vegeta's arrogance, but he's also very goal-driven and intelligent, all of his loving around was so Buu would eat him, thus giving him the chance to save everyone, at no point was Vegetto being an idiot for the sake of it (unlike Gotenks). It shows even more in Super, without the need to stall, Vegetto is arrogant, but 100% in control of the situation, beating the ever-loving crap out of an immortal, fused, ever-powering-up god like it was no big deal. In both cases, Vegetto is beaten by something neither he nor his parts could see coming: the Potara's time limit, which at first they were not told (because the U7 Kaioshins are worthless) and then they were told wrong, without taking into account how their power would lower their time (because the U10 Kaioshin is worthless).

Contrast to GT Gogeta, where he acts literally exactly the same as Gotenks: entirely loving around for the sake of doing so, despite knowing he could win the fight in an instant. He has none of Goku or Vegeta's good traits, he's just a ridiculously powerful buffoon. The fusion runs out before they expected it, but Gogeta could've won at any time, he loses only because he's a gigantic dumbass, which is extremely far from either SS Gogeta or Vegetto, and it feels like Toei just wanted to write Gotenks again, or heavily misunderstood Vegetto. Both are possible, seeing GT's very bad writing.

Contrast, again, to SS Gogeta, who gets very little time but in that time gets one powerful line ("I'm neither Goku nor Vegeta, I'm the one who will destroy you!") and then completely annihilates the enemy, showing exactly what would happen if the two most powerful characters joined forces, but also writes them with none of their negative sides, also showing what would happen if Goku wasn't a fight-loving, relaxed dumbass and Vegeta wasn't a fight-loving, arrogant dumbass.

tl;dr: Toriyama's idea of Goku and Vegeta fusing is more complex than either of Toei's takes.

Also his hair is red because he reverses the hair and fur colour of SS4 for some reason, it looks weird.

IIRC SS4 Gogeta hosed around with Omega Shenron because he wanted to piss off Shenron enough to force him to use his negative energy ball which Gogeta deflected and filled with good energy or some poo poo like that.
Seriously though, SS4 Gogeta could curb stomp Omega Shenron at any time and yet he still chose to gloat after the fact instead of finishing Shenron off. It's GT being GT by ruining a decent idea.

I remember this, and it always struck me as weird, cause how did you he know Omega Shenron could do that? And even if he inferred that Shenron had that ability, how did he know he could infuse his positive energy into it to get rid of all the poo poo the Shadow Dragons did to earth? :psyduck:

If that fight had ended with a Big Bang Spirit Bomb it'd probably be remembered more fondly, but chances are they would've fumbled that too. For instance:

This would be hilarious and good, on some level. "I only agreed to fight in this tournament because the universe was going to die. I normally prefer to not advertise my business."
EDIT: Actually, now that I think of it, Frost's third form is probably about as powerful as Frieza's, but it's hard to tell because of the power creep on the U7 crew. He might stand a chance if he's sitting on a secret fourth form.
