No doubt he is stronger than those 2 but you still have not proved how he is less of a coward than those 2.supercat wrote:The biggest difference between Tien / Piccolo and Vegeta is the progress that they made. I've made a pretty long post comparing the three, but I shall do it again briefly.Whatever wrote:I see,so thats how double standards work,you kiss the ground Vegeta walks on when he spent the whole Namek saga being a coward.supercat wrote:Obuni was able to keep up with a Gohan who is presumably SSB-tier. Piccolo probably wouldn't even be able to keep up with Base Goku / Vegeta. His strategy is laughable. It usually consists of running around, playing tag or hide and seek, using hideous attacks like antenna beam, looking scared, splitting off and making himself even weaker, and then looking scared when his opponent gets anywhere near him. That to me is pretty pathetic.
Piccolo's best feat was defeating SSJ2 Gohan, while a suppressed Android 17 not only completely overwhelmed SSJ Goku, but gave a suppressed SSB Goku a great fight. How did Piccolo do against Goku? He failed against his base form.
Not sure if this matters, but power-wise, I have Piccolo on the higher end of the Buu saga considering how easily he defeated a very new-and-improved SSJ2 Gohan. The only problem is, that level of power at this point is just irrelevant compared to the real powerhouses.
Not to mention him being a chicken when he saw full stamina Golden Freeza.How convenient for you to forget all of this.
Tien:
Has a school full of weaklings that collectively probably can't even take on King Piccolo or beginning of DB Goku.
Likes to hide and run away using cheesy techniques that not only look ridiculous, but also end up serving no real purpose.
Tries to win with an attack that he probably sees as his masterpiece, only to have it fail and have him be the first to hit the ground.
Lives a loner life basically. Even his old friend Krillin defended Vegeta when he went on his little rant about Vegeta's loyalty.
Was put in his place years ago, and had to realize that doesn't have a spot as one of Goku's rivals.
Piccolo:
Likes to hide and run away using cheesy techniques that not only look ridiculous, but also end up serving no real purpose (The two strategists have a lot in common).
Tries to win with a powerful attack that takes way too much time charging up, and almost never delivers as it is meant to. Definitely not worth the wait.
No one outside of Gohan and Goku seem to care for him.
Pushed around by a woman not even her own husband really listens to.
Apparently trains all the time, but makes very negligible progress. I'm beginning to wonder if he considers talking to his wimpy pal Mr. Popo training.
Vegeta:
Uses his hard-earned strength gained from years of hard work and commitment to the right kind of training to win battles.
Has lots of great moves and techniques. Not sure why people assume Piccolo and Tien are better fighters than someone who probably has way more combat experience, and is basically born as a fighter.
Looked up to as a hero being only second to Goku.
Kept pushing past his limits and reaching new heights.
Has a loving family.
So while Vegeta may have not shown his best side back on Namek, he's in a great place now compared to those two strategists there.
Even if you ignore the namek saga,he still was scared of full stamina Golden Freeza despite insisting to fight his 4th form before that.
And only fought Golden Freeza after Goku did all the work of tiring him,he was a coward since he was scared of fighting Freeza at his best.
Also lol at him being looked up as a hero,even Bulma in the Future Trunks arc said that Goku was gonna handle it in his face,Bulma told him up front he is a non factor.
You cannot get more blunt than this.
