Cell’s been looking like another character I might play. He’s got good Damage, and the man is just super dope 
Just raw?
Consider Android 16 on deck now, so you can catch this Self-Destruct

My favorite villain in DBZ Buu, kind of had a problem of staying dead.
I didn’t like most of the arc even though buu was my favorite villain.
He was too OP plz nerf.
Yep. Supers scale pretty heavily, so raw super seems to be the most damaging way to do it by far assuming you get it off in a punish situation. And aside from the assist situation (where an Android 16 could theoretically react to the flash with action, including his own level 3), all the situations I listed are guaranteed punishes. If you homing dash or swap characters while he’s grounded, Gohan’s level 3 will punish it.
Buu had a hard time dying period @MandrillManiac maniac, not an issue with being “brought back”. I’m talking about after him being defeated for good, if he had come back as a villain as a second time. Frieza was a good villain, but he was comparatively very weak relative to where our heroes ended up by the end of Z. But because they couldn’t seem to think of a compelling long-term villain, someone was like “Frieza was a good villain, he was popular, we should bring him back.” So we slap a shiny gold coating of paint on him, give him a semi-plausible(ish) power-up that makes him god-tier, and then run it back. And then bring him back (again) for post-death shenanigans, because “hey, people really love Frieza and gold Frieza was pretty cool!” Just let the villain go - he had his time to shine and he did. Go do something narratively or developmentally interesting with a new villain.

I have to agree. Once the latest arc is done with frieza I hope he’s gone for good.
It’s not like I hate him, it’s across dbz’s (both canon and non canon) Frieza has returned a multitude of times and I’m kinda sick of it at this point.
To be honest it wouldn’t surprise me if he ended up being the next Vegeta.
Half of Dragon Ball consists of Goku turning enemies into allies or even friends. Buu, Vegeta, Picolo, Tien, Oolong, 16,17,18…
I mean sure there’s plenty that don’t, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Freiza becomes permanent.
Psh. I really, really, really hope not. The one nice thing about Frieza as a villain is that he’s actually a ■■■■■■■.
If we wanna go with hero-able villains, we should just bring Cell back. In the grand scheme of things, he was basically just Goku with beetle wings in terms of his mindset of wanting to face strong opponents. Cut out the part were he destroys the world after he beats everyone in the tournament and he’s actually a pretty swell guy. You know, once he grew out of his tail-eating-people phase…

Japan doesn’t like cell unfortunately
I used to be alright with cell, but that guy lost major cred points for me when he basically went from zero to f**k this solar system because he rage quitted on a nine year old child.
Gohan is a (young) teen by the time the Cell Games rolled around.
More to the point, name a DBZ villain who didn’t rage quit when it became apparent he couldn’t win 
Kid Buu’s the only one who didn’t go all “I’ll explode the planet and kill you all!” on our heroes in his final battle, but Super Buu definitely tried to do it to Vegitto when he saw how that fight was going. Trying to blow up the world is basically a right of passage for DBZ villains.

Technically Kid buu is the only one to just straight up destroy earth.(no battle, no talking just straight annihilation) Vegeta even berates buu for not trying to fight them.

that’s true I’ll definitely give you that.
Also quick question at what age do you mean “young teen”? just to clarify real fast.
Do you mean 11?
Apologies. You are correct - Gohan was 11 years old when he defeated Cell. I forgot exactly how old he was since that form of him is usually called “Teen Gohan” (as opposed to the “Kid Gohan” of the Saiyan and Namek arcs.

ohhh I see.
In that case yes he actually was nine. eleven was a dub error.
Time chamber year doesn’t count because that’s an artificial year (so that would make him physically ten) and the Gohan birthday episode was filler so non-canon. Something that DBZ kai corrected.
When you think about it, that actually makes gohan even more badass. The fact that he was first ssj2 and put the hurt on cell at the age of nine is pretty jaw dropping.
Now when I think about it when you have gohan and Goku on the same team and Gohan uses father-son kamehameha, does the actual goku show up instead of the spirit looking goku you would normally see similar to the Krillin and 18 team attack? If it’s not there, that’s fine but it would be cool if they did
The original English dub of the show says he’s 11 (and I’m going with the physical age, since he spent the year in the time chamber). And as I’ve said before, I go with the English Funimation dub as my own personal “official” canon. It aired the way it aired, and stands as its own work as far as I’m concerned. Garlic Jr. came back, Goku and Piccolo have driver’s licenses, and Goku isn’t a selfish punch-drunk moron. What happened in the manga or Kai or even Super isn’t my concern.
Very well. I respect it.
but what about my other question tho?
jus checked a gameplay vid of dbfz. im gonna need some shades lol. it looked like an eyedol mirror match on kyle lvl cpu with infinite meter on arby’s stage lol hahaha! glad yall hyped about it tho! 
lol that description tho
I’m sorry, what other question are you referring to?
This one
-shrug- No idea. I haven’t played the game yet, only watched a lot of footage. I don’t recall seeing any difference in Gohan’s level 3 based on whether or not Goku is on the team, but I could certainly be wrong on that.
I see then.
thanks for the response tho
