If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

That's in Sparking Zero already, which is a surprise because BT3 had him with both arms.

has Fat Gotenks been a regular slot character yet

None of the failed fusions have been in any BT game. With Super Hero, they have a justification for Fat Gotenks. That'd be pretty funny, just have Goten (Super Hero) and Trunks (Super Hero) who can fuse into Gotenks (Super Hero) - but since they never got it right at that age...

quote:

Vegeta made a lot of mistakes in DBZ, but one of his absolute worst was letting Cell absorb Android 18 to become Perfect. Vegeta knew he was far more powerful than Imperfect Cell, but his curiosity and pride caused him to allow the villain to transform in hopes of giving him a greater challenge. The resulting battle ended with Vegeta being easily defeated by Cell.

If Vegeta had main character plot armor, it's likely he would have found a way to defeat Cell. In fact, he may even have felt more obligated to defeat Cell sooner, knowing that the weight of the Earth was on his shoulders. This could've prevented Cell from ever reaching his Perfect form to begin with.

The whole thing is just "if Vegeta had MC plot armor he would always be cool and win every fight ever"

The funny thing is that if Vegeta was that person he wouldn't be as appealing to people because the dumbass arrogant pride-filled rear end in a top hat (who eventually becomes a reasonable person) is why people like him.

To be slightly fair, "They defeated the strongest dude but a new strongest dude came along" is just how the Dragonball universe works, Trunks just happens to be the unlucky bastard who lives in a timeline without Dragonballs. The Buu Saga would have been a mite bit darker for the cast.

It’s kinda funny how much of the Cell Saga even exists because of Vegeta, like not even the whole Perfect Cell debacle, the part where Krillin tells Bulma “hey maybe we shouldn’t covertly find and kill Gero because Vegeta is still A Problem and doing the whole Android thing might make him not want to kill Goku since all of his friends are people who started off wanting to kill him before we had adventures together” is kind of always forgotten in the wake of Vegeta loving Around and Finding Out.

Just like Vegeta blew up those planets, maybe I did some bad things in the past. But now I'm a good guy (even if I'm a bit "rough around the edges" and a little "politically incorrect") so you can't judge me for that.

It's pretty much the quality you'd expect from CBR articles since the writers there have to churn out a million things a day to make anything approaching a living wage, so it results in a lot of hasty articles being typed off the top of their heads like, well, that. Easy to write a ton of fluff about a What If scenario.

Yeah Vegeta is never confused, even when he really buys into being a "good guy" with Goku etc he knows he's a villain who will go to hell. He's totally okay with being judged as a bad dude by anyone, he kinda revels in it.

Lightly complicated by him being resurrected at the end of the Buu saga so one of the dragons clearly puts him in team gets to chill in the afterlife.
