For a movie being advertised for the 4th-12th this only is being shown for about 4 of those days at wildly inconsistent times in my area. I really hope they extend the screenings for this like they did with Battle of Gods.

It was only showing for two days in my area lol

Yamcha cut off Oozaru Goku's tail and saved the world.

Also he drives cool cars and is a professional athlete. i think Tien is the real loser here: all he does is train and he still jobs like hell. At least Yamcha saved Krillin by taking on that saibaman.

Tien beat the everloving poo poo out of Yamcha though, so clearly he's better.

Krillin wouldn't have lost to that saibaman in the first place. Yamcha would have just been beasted by Nappa along with everyone else.

"Go on until you're stopped."
Yamcha's problem isn't being not being cool so much as having nothing cool to do but still showing up. He isn't just irrelevant; he's irrelevant but isn't allowed to fade into the background and play superhuman baseball. ("Guy who couldn't fight gods but was still beyond human limits so he became a pro athlete" would be an actual character role so it's a shame he couldn't stay in it.)

Having him just stop appearing was probably the way to go.

Its an unfortunate remnant for his role as the very first rival in the series, and subsequently, one of Goku's earliest friends who could actually throw a punch. It made it easier to excuse him showing up after the shift to the martial arts and world saving focus, and likely also made him easier for Toriyama to even remember (unlike say, Launch).

But then, as you say, he doesn't actually get to do anything. For the Saiyans, he's used as the first casualty (against the Saibamen, whereas the others at least chumped to Nappa), and then against the Androids almost dies, and later shows up to be cannon fodder against the Cell Jrs. Krillin had his moments on Namek and helped move the plot along in the Cell saga even if he couldn't even hope to win in a fight; Tien at the very least gets his advanced geometry as something to justify his presence, building up to that moment.

Yamcha just... doesn't, as far as I can remember. The worst part is that I feel like it wouldn't have been very hard, at least in the Android saga. Maybe actually let him use his sword again, since Trunks was swinging one around... :sigh:

In my fix for the Buu Saga, Yamcha would have married Chi-Chi and been the actual for realsies father of Goten, then sacrificed himself saving a bunch of people including his son from Buu.

It's honestly not really necessary to know much about BoG other than "Beerus and Whis are divine beings who are incredibly strong" Other than the fact that those characters exist, Resurrection F is pretty self-contained.

I always liked Yamcha, his character design was pretty badass with the long hair and the scar. That and the Spirit Ball is probably one of the more technically interesting ideas that scale with power.

Like, could Yamcha make two and fight his enemy remotely? Just have two balls of energy act like fists instead of him?

I'd like him to have a moment in the sun along with Tien and Krillin, they're normal humans in a world of Gods, Namekians, Saiyans and Killer Robots.

I mean, surely it would be relatively simple? Major villain occupies Goku and Vegeta, sends henchmen out to strategically important places in the world, everyone fights a person close to their own power. I think probably one of the more interesting things in DBZ is the potential for "Team" fights. You very rarely have two people fighting two villains concurrently and trying to coordinate their attacks with each other and I imagine Krillin/Yamcha and Tien/Chiaotzu would be particularly good at them.

...So, make Yamcha an even bigger Toru Furuya reference thing? Upgrade from Spirit Ball to Spirit Funnels? While we're at it let's toss in him appearing out of nowhere wearing a tuxedo and a mask. Also something involving a Pegasus...
