Does Planet Salad still have 10x Earth's gravity, or is that something that's been forgotten about too?

Well guys, looks like my prediction was partly right.

Raxivace posted:

I really wonder what the source of these alternate saiyans will be, or rather why they still exist in this other universe.

My best prediction is going to be that Universe 6 never had a Frieza since 1) Every single new bit of Dragon Ball animation (As well as the Jaco manga) since the 2008 special has been about Frieza in some capacity already, 2) A lack of Frieza could explain why a Planet Vegeta still exists in Universe 6, if it still does and that's why saiyans are around still there, and 3) If Planet Vegeta is never destroyed, Goku getting sent to Earth as a child is unlikely, meaning that he won't be around to save Earth from destroying itself through whatever means.


This level of reasoning is possible for Raxivace! What do you think everybody? This is all probably going to totally wrong, but it's fun to speculate.

Didn't the Bardock special have a Planet Vegeta from centuries past, and the inhabitants weren't the Tuffles? I thought they retconned them out of existence.

Also, the odds of Vegito/Gogeta fusion are looking better and better now. I want to believe, drat it.

Basically, yes. It's about as "canon" as any of the other advertisements for Dragon Ball Heroes, which it was. First as a manga tie-in and then as the OVA.

Future Trunks is the coolest character and when I was 11 I wished he was my older brother.

And he did the thing when he sliced people but they didn't fall apart until 5 seconds later when he was crouching in a cool pose.

The only person Future Trunks ever beat was Freeza

Then he killed 17, 18, and Cell later but the stakes had been raised so far up by that point it wasn't really cool anymore and he just kinda wiped the floor with them

Now Vegeta... he's cool

Until Resurrection of F he had a better Frieza-killing record than anyone in the universe.

Even post RoF his record is 100% of Friezas killed compared to Goku's 50% of Friezas killed which is a clear victory for Trunks.

His Cell killing record isn't too bad either he's at a firm 50%/66.6% of Cells encountered killed. (Depending on if you count the future Trunks who got killed by Cell as the same guy who kept coming back in time.)

He's also the only saiyan who doesn't gently caress around most of the time. The only time he held back was when he didn't want to piss his dad off for being stronger than him.

That was other future Trunks gently caress him.

Our future Trunks killed 2 Cells. And as we all know Cell + Cell = Buu so trunks is awesome.

killing frieza meant something when he actually did it. effortlessly chumping him was a good way to show the stakes had been raised, especially when you consider the original run of the anime spent like 30 episodes on fighting frieza alone

Captain Baal

Yeah and he would a been pretty cool if that knowledge of the Androids and the Virus helped them. It's cool to have a character raise the stakes then he either loses or gets tricked in every confrontation he has with a villain after this point until the end of it.

Baal posted:

I don't know if I would say General Grievous raised the stakes especially considering that he is often made clear to be less of a threat than Dooku. I'd say the General Grievous affect is more "show up and being visually entertaining, but not really contribute much the plot and have people, eventually, question why you were included at all." Though, Darth Maul does fit that description better, now that I wrote it down.

trunks kills frieza and king cold

LOWTAX'S SPINE FUND

On the matter of Future Trunks contributing anything to a fusion, it's important to remember that he did: the latest Heroes update added the Time Patrol Trunks/Gotenks fusion in Gotenks: Xeno. Who is like Gotenks: GT but with Future Trunks' sword so that immediatly makes him 200% cooler. And the game seems to agree, because his special move is the Super Burning Kamehameha, which is logically stronger than Gotenks: GT's regular Burning Kamehameha.

I'll be really mad if a game called Project Fusion ignores any already-existing fusion. And by that I mean it has no excuse to not have Yamhan, Gotan or even Den-Goku. And I seriously hope it doesn't ignore GT and Heroes so we can have both adult Gotenks. Considering Extreme Butoden added SS4 Gohan and Broly, it doesn't seem impossible.

Beyond that, this game has no excuse to not go wild. With a working title like "Project Fusion" and the first image being a canon Broku of all things, the story must be the biggest what-if ever. It can't half-rear end it like Xenoverse did.

Oh please, Guldo and Jeice are the only ones he killed in a straight up fight. Burter and Recoome was him being a kill-stealing gently caress, and technically Frieza killed Ginyu.

That said, he killed Dodoria and Zarbon, and Qui too (iirc).

So, working backwards, 19, Jeice, Burter, Recoome, Guldo, Zarbon, Dodoria, Qui... and Nappa.

Well poo poo. In terms of sheer kills, Vegeta is the most effective Hero in DBZ.

Shame about all the negative points he gets for all of the genocide.
