Oh man, their Cell continues to be one of the best things the series has done. :allears: I thought I couldn't be any more sold on Cell when they were revealed to be a morbid teenager, but being completely loving stark raving mad makes it even better.

I could see him turning crazier after taking 17 easy, but it seems like it might be tougher to make Perfect Cell seem that unhinged.

Yeah there is no way Perfect Cell will be even more insane. They're probably going with some kind of 'imperfect sanity' thing to or something, I just don't see how Perfect Cell can be played like that.

...Actually, I might actually be able to see it work. Like, if he's just a little smarter than Goku and way more evil. He could piss off Gohan by embodying everything that Gohan hates about Goku and being even worse! ...Or something.

WHAT DID YOU DO?!
You know, I kind of wonder and/or hope what they do with Perfect Cell is play up this whole "personality made up of other characters" thing to the hilt. Maybe have it develop into something like schizophrenia or something, where he's hearing voices and talking to himself a lot.

Thinking about it, I wonder if they'll play the same Nail-and-Kami in Piccolo gag with 17, 18, and Cell.

Oh my god I hope they do this now. It'll probably help add some humor when Cell's absorbing 18 and being a creepy rapey gently caress if 17's still there being :stare: - and they've been fun characters anyway.

There isn't a doubt in my mind they won't at least make a gag out of it.

I can just picture Cell absorbing 18, there being a pause, and 17 making some kind of quip about 18 showing up and her yelling at him.

Also if they go the schizophrenic route, you could have audience-only gags where he's talking to himself and 17 and 18 are trying to figure out who the hell he's talking to.

Mostly, I could see them making a lot of Perfect Cell's facial expressions and mannerisms work really well for a cocky guy talking to his own invisible peanut gallery of stolen personality traits.

Perfect Cell will be more sane, but also a bit more full of himself and waaaaay more "holy poo poo my 'Perfect' body is amazing!"

17 and 18 peanut gallery has potential, but probably should be used a tad less than Piccolo and company.

The only problem with the Piccolo peanut gallery is that Piccolo's relevance to the story is quickly coming to an end.

Yeah, Piccolo might not get to do much after the 17 fight, but he's still around pretty often. TFS will surely be getting a lot of mileage out of him, since they obviously love the character.

He does get to shine a little in the Gotenks fight in the Time Chamber. After that, yeah, he pretty much vanishes. Which is a shame, he's probably my favorite character.

Xenoverse sounds exactly like something my 12 year old classmates would make up as a rumor (I was in denial about liking DBZ back then) and I am totally into it.

... Also I am finally watching the original Dragonball for the first time, and suddenly a lot of DBZ makes a lot more sense, like why Goku keeps trying to befriend people (Vegeta) once they're doing their best to kill him. Basically all his friends have at least once made a good, concentrated, effort to beat poo poo out of him. First goddamn episode, Burma shoots him.

I do think Goku gets too much poo poo for trying to befriend people in Z. He got Piccolo, who used to be a horrible tyrant, to be a close friend. He got Vegeta, the guy who tried to blow up his planet, to live on that same planet and raise a family. The last person he tried being friends with was Freeza, and Goku was gonna kill Freeza outright once he came back to blow up Goku's planet. He never gave Cell a chance, he went all out on him.

Really, Goku's bigger fault is how sporting he is. Even when the entire universe is at stake, he wants things to be fair and even.

That's not entirely true. Goku would have probably wanted to make friends with Cell too, but there were too many factors going against it happening. First he wasn't strong enough to defeat Cell by himself (or he just wanted Gohan to get his spot in the limelight, there's no actual telling with Goku), then Cell tries to blow himself and the planet up and Goku is forced to drag his rear end to a different planet and he's dead for the final confrontation with Cell and can only lend moral support to Gohan, who eradicates every last bit of him and he actually befriends goddamn Buu, essentially asking him to reincarnate as a good guy so they can fight more together. If Goku had his ways, he'd want to leave everyone alive and just fight them, endlessly improving.

Even Raditz was kind of out of his hand.

This is true, but I think at some point Goku's focus shifted from getting strong people to be sparring partners and more toward making sure someone could actually solve poo poo after he died. For instance, he wanted Buu reincarnated after he saw and understood his good side. To him, it wasn't a real risk; he knew Buu had a good heart and would be a better person if not controlled by awful wizards his entire life.

It's not that Goku isn't naive or forgiving to a fault, he certainly is both. It's just that his fatal flaw is how he puts challenging fights above all other desires, and expects the same out of everyone.

Then again, each and every of Goku's friends has been his rival or antagonist at some point. Even Bulma didn't have any warm feelings toward him at the beginning, she was just using him as a tool.

18 goes one burn too far when Cell is getting punched by SSJ2 Gohan and Cell is like "That's it! gently caress perfection I'm kicking you out!".

I'd like if you master different schools you get combination attacks of some sort.

The one that bursts to mind is that if you master Yamcha and Krillin you get Frieza's destructo disk, since it's effectively a combination between Krillin's disk and Yamcha's spirit ball.
