Not a lot of shows have breakout characters you can successfully merchandise to that level. Chopper from One Piece comes to mind. But Goku's always been by far the most popular DBZ character, and probably the easiest to write for. (The shonen idiot hero makes a lot of sense when you realise their whole thing is that they'll basically go along with whatever someone tells them to do)

Finished super. Pretty hosed up that the god children would have wiped out all of existence if the beefiest beefcake made a selfish wish.

The joke at the time was that 18 was stupid for thinking 17 would would let everyone die for a boat, but I think it’s nice that she was shocked he came so far from being a genocidal murder machine that doesn’t care about anything. Not like they knew their universe would’ve been wiped too.

I remember reading somewhere that the animators for the movie nearly drove themselves insane when they were doing Janemba's teleporting animation. It was just so difficult and complicated It does look so loving awesome though.

But Kefla is actually a character (shallow as she may be), and a female one at that, and a fusion (everyone loves those) while Janemba doesn't even speak and has only one cool gimmick to him. Whatever, I'm not even upset Janemba got in. I was more making a joke that when you look at season 2's characters, Janemba making it in over Kefla seemed odd.

Just seems like there's a whole universe of content they could make that isn't power creep the series.

CharlestheHammer posted:I mean as long as Toryama is involved it will be power creep the series because that’s what he knows Sssssssort of? Beerus was way more super duper powerful than anything before. Freeza was either tied or maybe a little stronger than Super Saiyan Blue but hosed up with the stamina part. But definitely weaker than Beerus. Hit was actually weaker than Goku's Kaioken Blue, but basically caught up/surpassed him during the fight itself. I forget what happens in the manga because it was bad back then. Neither vanilla Zamasu or Goku Black were really any stronger than Goku or Vegeta (one being flat out weaker, the other being literally a Goku), but they did well because the weaker one wished for immortality, and being the same person, worked incredibly well together with coordinated attacks. Something Goku and Vegeta can't really do. Fused Zamasu was shown to also be weaker than Blue Vegetto, but...kind of immortal? And then, yeah, Jiren was flat out stronger than anyone save the angels, Zenos and maybe some of the GoD. Broly is arguably up there around Jiren's level, but we can't really know as Goku used fusion rather than Ultra Instinct to beat him. I'd say he's not exactly an example of power creep. Right now, Moro doesn't seem to be inherently more powerful than Goku/Vegeta, but uses magic that messes them up. So while power creep is definitely a thing, outside of Ultra Instinct (which he can't control as of yet,) Goku hasn't become massively more powerful once he got Blue way back with RoF. I'd say, if anything, power creep is less of thing in Super than it was in Z. Vegeta was leagues stronger than the last main boss, Piccolo. Freeza was leagues and leagues stronger than Vegeta. Cell was way stronger than Freeza. And even Kid Buu was stronger than Cell, seeing as Goku couldn't beat him even at SS3 without help. But in Super, sometimes the next villain isn't really any more powerful, but relies on tricks or gimmicks (immortality, the ability to learn mid-battle like a saiyan, magic).

After thinking about it here's Blockhouse's STONE COLD LOCK OF THE SEASON of the week for DBFZ season 3 Safe Bets: - Omega Shenron. (The seal on GT reps was already broken with Goku and SSB Gogeta has a victory line for him in the game files) - Master Roshi (the most requested remaining character now that Kefla is in, has more than enough fights between DB, World's Strongest, and DBS to pull from for a move set) Still Good Odds: - Majin Vegeta (I'm honestly shocked that we're three seasons in and still no edgelord vegeta with self-destruct level 3) - Raditz (another glaring omission) - Toppo (one of the last two remaining relevant characters from the ToP) - Ribrianne (the other last remaining relevant character from the ToP, could have a fun move set) - Mira (DBFZ is the only Dragonball game since Xenoverse that doesn't have this dude in it) Eeeehhhh: - Mr. Satan (the other most requested remaining character, but suffers from a lack of material for a move set) - Jaco (as much as I would love to have him in, he suffers from the same issue Mr. Satan does, even combining the Jaco manga and his fight in Resurrection F) - Other Universe 6 characters (Nobody's really out here stanning for Cabba or Frost) - Super Buu (his most iconic attack was stolen by Kid Buu) - Bonyu (would be a good tie in for Kakarot but I'm not sure how her autonomous ki blast gimmick would translate) - Chi Chi (given we've gotten 2 in 3 seasons female characters are not a priority for ASW) - New original character (sure why not) God I Hope Not: - Other ToP characters (a congealed mass of "literally who") - Individual Ginyu force members (they have like one move a piece y'all) - Android 13 (terminally boring and a sign that the game would be scraping the bottom of the barrel) - Bojack (see above but more so) - Super 17 (see above but even more so) Blockhouse fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Feb 13, 2020 |
