GAMERDOME put down LOSER

Caidin posted:

Yeah but everyone devotes about a 80 to 100% of thier man power to fighting universe 7 so it still works to being outnumbered.

Now the real question is how the sniper jerks found time to set up a rather delicate retinue when the entire ring is constantly exploding.

The rest of their team helpfully drew almost everyone's attention a little while earlier.

The Goku and Vegeta parts were great, I agree. I think Dragon Ball shines best when those two guys are working together.

I was extremely disappointed Tien didn't get to have a hand-to-hand fight, and now he'll never get one.
I mean, there was a lot they could have done with him before his pathetic exit, but whatever.
Looking forward to Roshi's defeat in two weeks!

was there a time when speedwagon didn't get trolled
lmao Tien.

Krillin saved a powerful and valuable teammate from a surprise attack and then kicked the poo poo out of several opponents before getting sucker punched off the side by Frost and getting yelled at for letting his guard down by everyone. Tien's contribution was to get shot in the face several times by running in a straight line towards a sniper, shooting said sniper with a Kikoho, then walking into melee range and entirely letting his guard down and letting his opponent blow him up and only barely succeeding at managing a double KO, and despite his loss being entirely his own idiot fault, everyone compliments him for trying his best, including loving Beerus.

Tien is the worst character, christ.

What was with all the naruto running in this episode.

Maybe now we can get more Tien, even if it's just talking on the sidelines ala Krillin?

I thought it was funny that Beerus praised Tien after berating Krillin. Krillin eliminated like two or three guys right? I'm pretty sure Beerus just doesn't like him. He can't even remember his name after all. Pretty boring episode though. I hope Dr. Rotor comes back in some future story so we can see his incredible ability.

It's pretty clear what Dr. Rota's ability is, he has the insanely deadly FRONTAL FULL NELSON, clearly stolen from Goku! The perfect wrestling technique!
EDIT: I wanna see one of those lovely internet ads going "You'll never guess this character's ability! Doctors hate him!" with Dr. Rota on it now.

Have Namekians been depicted as having particularly fragile limbs in the past?

I remember reading a number of weeks ago a thinkpiece about how one or two people, possibly the two fighters we hadn't been shown, were special assassin type fighters, and that Tien would get his time to shine by countering their assassin style with his own savvy Crane learnings but his post-Crane honor.

It was weird watching that odd theory start to come true before Tien just faceplanted into a dude and ringed himself out instead.

It'll sure suck when Vegeta is the next to be eliminated then.

Seriously unless Roshi goes out next week that theory is 2 for 2 so far, and Vegeta's sharing a screen with Krillin and Tien.

I'm just being self-absorbed.
It doesn't matter if no one's listening.
What's not to like about Goku and Vegeta throwing giant rocks at their opponents? That was extremely good.

Why didn't Tien or anybody else use Taiyōken on the sniper guy or the reflecting blob man? Just because the move failed on a blind fighter doesn't mean it's an invalid technique, this would've been the perfect episode for it.

So the orbs sense body heat, and the sniper goes after targets based on that.

So why did the sniper shoot that random rock that Piccolo threw

I'm just waiting until the real poo poo goes down at this point. The recent episodes are fine but seeing Base Goku and Vegeta fake being in peril is getting old. They really should've scaled this down a bit or something so it doesn't drag as much. What if it was 6 fighters from each universe. Frieza, Piccolo, Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and maybe Buu or 17.

Pretty sure Tien is going to disappear from all future plots entirely now, not sure why they did this to him the last time he could probably be relevant

Then it'd be the exact same poo poo it is every other time.

17, 18, and Roshi actually getting to go out and do things is great

It would still be the same padded, one-sided demolition only maybe worse because who are you going to chump out from that list?

Based on the last episode it's absolutely not something Tien would ever consider doing the goddamn moron.

Yeah, solar flare, not using the multi-form technique like a complete chode, actually just taking the guy out instead of giving him a moment to fight back.

Krillin's been explicitly set up throughout the ToP arc as 'The one that actually fights pretty smart.' Keeping up with SSB Goku with trickery and smart technique. If anyone could have handled that fight from U7 it was him.
