Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I know they are formed by different methods but they are absolutely the same character. Slightly different moves does not a new character make. All this sounds like "Oooooo, look, a shinny new object!" Better comparison, it feels like when toylines would have several variants of the same character. A Batman wearing all black and a Batman with gold armor are both still Batman.
The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
“Oooooo, look, a shiny new object” seems like it more or less sums up the upcoming movie anyway. Personally, my take on the whole thing is that if you’re going to be making Broly “canon”, you might as well go all out by making another popular movie character “canon”. I don’t care much for fan service just for the sake of it, but that’s arguably Dragon Ball’s biggest draw at this point.ABED wrote:I know they are formed by different methods but they are absolutely the same character.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Funnily enough, Final Kamehameha started as a Gogeta move, but at some point it became more known as a Vegetto move (It was related to him before he showed up in Super even), since Gogeta was the first one who had it in early games:PFM18 wrote:They are two different characters formed by two different fusion methods. Sure, the composition is the same but they are still different characters. Also, we don't know if Toriyama's Gogeta is going to have a different character than Vegetto or something like that.ABED wrote:They have the same moves. It's the same characters fusing. Any new moves isn't due to it being Vegetto or Gogeta. I find the idea that they are two different beings to be silly. It's a paint job at best.
And I always thought that:
Gogeta -> Stardust Breaker, Big Bang Kamehameha
Vegetto -> Spirit Sword, Final Kamehameha
Were their specific moves.

I think Final Bout was the first time Vegetto got Final Kamehameha, but I doubt it was that game that made him known for having it:

It's not far fetched to assume that they just gave Vegetto the Final Kamehameha because Gogeta got Big Bang Kamehameha in GT years later.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Vegito was different because Toriyama wanted to include fusion in story without copying everything from DBZ Movie 12.
Tbh they should have the same personality. Gogeta in movie had like 1 or 2 lines and 2 minutes of screentime, yet people can talk about his personality and say GT Gogeta is nothing like Gogeta (basically nothing like character that didn't have time to display any personality ) but more like Vegito (that is a fusion of the same characters for god's sake...).
Would DBS Gogeta be like Vegito/GT Gogeta or more like "real" Gogeta? Hard to say. People probably would prefer DBS Gogeta to be serious badass but it's dumb because he has Goku's personality and his behaviour SHOULD depend on circumstances. DBS Vegito was more serious than DBZ Vegito because he had harder time to beat his opponent. GT Gogeta was leagues above Omega and so was playing with him. Still, he actually became a lot more serious after he kicked out Omega's attack and was actually ready to finish the job.
Saying Vegito is the funny one and Gogeta is the serious badass is stupid.
Fans call serious Vegito or funny Gogeta moments to be out of character facepalm

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Eh, both Goku and Vegeta have their own personality quirks, so two different fusion methods sharing the exact same quirks in the exact same way is not a necessity, Vegeta likes to mock opponents and Goku is a goofier character who likes to enjoy a fight, so Vegetto turning out as someone who constantly mocks their opponents (Even against fusion Zamasu, which Vegetto was a bit more serious than against Boo, he kept mocking Zamasu the whole fight), is one way to combine those quirks, but if another fusion picks less of Vegeta's quirk to humiliate opponents and pick more of his shorter fuse and Goku's respect for his opponents, then, potentialy you'd get a bit rude character who compliments his opponents but gets annoyed and interested at being surpassed.sunsetshimmer wrote:Vegito was different because Toriyama wanted to include fusion in story without copying everything from DBZ Movie 12.

Basicaly what I'm saying is, fusions don't necessarily have to be so cut and dry with how a character's personality is going to be like, it doesn't have to be a "2+2=4" situation.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Sure, it's good to have both fusion behave a bit different (having both in franchise would be pointless otherwise) but it doesn't mean Gogeta being cocky and Vegito being serious is out of character in any way.Lukmendes wrote: Eh, both Goku and Vegeta have their own personality quirks, so two different fusion methods sharing the exact same quirks in the exact same way is not a necessity, Vegeta likes to mock opponents and Goku is a goofier character who likes to enjoy a fight, so Vegetto turning out as someone who constantly mocks their opponents (Even against fusion Zamasu, which Vegetto was a bit more serious than against Boo, he kept mocking Zamasu the whole fight), is one way to combine those quirks, but if another fusion picks less of Vegeta's quirk to humiliate opponents and pick more of his shorter fuse and Goku's respect for his opponents, then, potentialy you'd get a bit rude character who compliments his opponents but gets annoyed and interested at being surpassed.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
It's this annoying situation where Toriyama has created a scenario where Goku and Vegeta are defined by their quests for individual growth and hate the idea of fusing to achieve power. But their fusions are the most marketable because everyone wants to see a hybrid of the two main guys in action. So they end up having to force a token conflict before they can get to the good stuff. At least give GT credit for being honest and having them jump straight into it.
I still don't get why people are more excited for Gogeta to become canon. At least Vegetto has had two decent fight sequences in his appearances that make the most of his unique moves and his cocky-but-can-actually-back-it-up personality. Whereas Gogeta is an instant win button in his first appearance and a drop-kick in his second. Only thing he's got over Vegetto is a better name.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
It's not forced if as you said it yourself, they're defined by their quests for individual growth and don't like the idea of fusing together. It's the opposite of forced. The scenario in GT was different. They had no other choice given the scale of the threat.Kataphrut wrote:It's this annoying situation where Toriyama has created a scenario where Goku and Vegeta are defined by their quests for individual growth and hate the idea of fusing to achieve power.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
- While it makes little to no sense given the rules of the afterlife (at least at that point in the series), King Kai's bringing the Ginyu Force to his planet to test Yamcha, Tien, and Chaoutzu was a lot of fun and some of the best filler in the Freeza saga.
- I kind of like the filler subplot of Bulma and Ginyu too.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Never even mentioned Gogeta or Vegetto being out of character though, at best it can be said that Gogeta was compared to his Fusion Reborn version, but the next episode has Goku explaining he got too excited at getting so strong during the fusion, so Gogeta ended up playing around, it's understandable.sunsetshimmer wrote:Sure, it's good to have both fusion behave a bit different (having both in franchise would be pointless otherwise) but it doesn't mean Gogeta being cocky and Vegito being serious is out of character in any way.Lukmendes wrote: Eh, both Goku and Vegeta have their own personality quirks, so two different fusion methods sharing the exact same quirks in the exact same way is not a necessity, Vegeta likes to mock opponents and Goku is a goofier character who likes to enjoy a fight, so Vegetto turning out as someone who constantly mocks their opponents (Even against fusion Zamasu, which Vegetto was a bit more serious than against Boo, he kept mocking Zamasu the whole fight), is one way to combine those quirks, but if another fusion picks less of Vegeta's quirk to humiliate opponents and pick more of his shorter fuse and Goku's respect for his opponents, then, potentialy you'd get a bit rude character who compliments his opponents but gets annoyed and interested at being surpassed.

No it's DEFINITELY true. Gogeta and Broly are the next DLC for Xenoverse and there were oice actors already came out and said they were practicing Gogeta.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I don’t like referring to the first thirteen episodes as the Pilaf saga as many seem to do. As it implies Pilaf was a bigger more prominent threat than he actually was and most of his stuff is anime-only filler. Shenron saga makes makes more sense
Similarly, I know a lot of fans divide Red Ribbon army saga as: Red Ribbon Army, General Blue, Mercenary Tao Pei Pei, and Commander Red but to me its all just Red Ribbon Army saga

I have no idea how this character is portrayed in FighterZ since i have no interest in this game.
