ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST

Darko posted:

The dodonpa was developed directly to counter the kamehameha as well, so an "equal" dodonpa would overpower the kamehameha. It's kind of like how Piccolo already had a kamehameha styled attack, but developed the makankosappo specifically to trick/overpower Goku.

The attack that takes like a minute to charge up properly?

The cool thing about the Special Beam Cannon is that it looks like a corck-screw, so you can assign it video-game like properties in your head when you see it used, like it was made to penetrate really tough barriers and it inspired railguns.

It wasn't a completely finished attack, there was a reason he hadn't gone and found Goku and challenged him to a rematch. He was using an unfinished technique as a last resort.

Speaking of being able to pick up on things easily, in reading DB for the first time, I'm at one of the tournaments and everyone is just whipping out Kamehamehas like they're nothing. Even Tien gives it a whirl. Roshi is freaking out when he thinks Goku is going to try to block at Dodon Ray with a Kamehameha, and he's saying the Kamehameha will never work against certain people.. Did they just give up on that angle as time went on and make the Kamehameha the end-all-be-all of super attacks?

That was because Tien had previously reflected Yamcha's kamehameha, right?



So it wasn't that the kamehameha wasn't an effective attack, it's just that with specific opponents it's not going to do any good, think of androids 19 and 20 for other example.

That part is important enough for Xenoverse to actually make it a skill. One of Tenshinhan's Z-Souls, "Haaaaaaaaaaaah!", makes the user completely immune to any attack named "Kamehameha".

Especially useful for that one mission where Goku, Gohan, and Goten just gang bang you with Kamehamehas at you over and over and over and over and over...

It's possible that didn't exist until after DLC came in? I don't remember anyone recommending that in the xenoverse thread, outside of spamming Recoom's pose.

Yeah, it's specific to DLC 1. You get it as a reward after sparring with Tien.

That mission was the absolute worst to a fighter class at around the level you were when you got to it (or like 20 after). A well equipped beam user could take it with the correct setup at a lower level, though.

I haven't played Xenoverse but I saw "The Best of TFS Gaming Vol. 6" yesterday and I believe the last part is them playing exactly that mission you're talking about :

Apparently it is really, really, REALLY, easy to figure out according to vegeta. (you probably need to have high ki and the more ki the easier.)

It's probably not a very hard thing to learn at all for anyone above Hercule's power level. The issue was more that there was no need to, because of the scouters. Kinda like being able to drive a car, but then learning to ride a bike as an adult.

I liked that Vegeta still didn't fully trust this new skill in Namek, I recall a part where he's chasing Gohan who runs to hide and when he's about to blow up the area to make him come out a big fish or something splashes in the water and Vegeta believes that must be the thing he sensed.

I looked up this movie on youtube and the soundtrack seemed to consist of this constant, awful, nu-metal. Like, it was seriously some of the worst music I've ever heard. Is that the actual soundtrack, or was the guy who recorded the video just listening to terrible music while doing so? It never even matched what was going on; it was like they just decided to play some tracks of this terrible music in the background and call it a day.

i mean i think the pantera song they played at the moment Broly transformed at least vaguely fit the mood, but beyond that... yeah i can't watch any of those movies with the US soundtracks.

Yet another point in favor of Dead Zone and World's Strongest (and i guess tree of might, though that had issues of its own obv)
