Hate to butt in, but doesn't the word "queen" have a "u" in it? Or is this a regional difference I'm not aware of?

Typo. ^^; Only typed the list once, then C&Ped it for the bad guys.

Sorry. Wasn't trying to nitpick. I assumed it was a typo until I saw that Silver Sinspawn's list had the exact same spelling. And then... well, I still assumed it was a typo, but it intrigued me nonetheless.

Oh, I just copied Xyex's post, couldn't be fucked writing all that.

What is this and why does it seem kind of awesome?

I think they were just magnetic figures controlled by someone under the table with a magnet. The sound effects were probably edited in.

That looks pretty silly and embarrassing to me...

It's obviously a magnetized electronic fighting game with sounds. Seems kinda cool. I want!

I meant "awesome" in a really silly, embarrassing way.

Definitely looks like something I'd have had fun with as a kid, at least.

Also, Goku and Super Buu as Kings? The hell? You do realize that the King is the most worthless piece on the board, yes? Sure, it's the most important, but it can barely move and it only captures pieces of the other guy is either a horrible player or trying to lure you into a trap.

Kami and Babidi.

I was going to say that Vegetto should be the Queen piece, but that both sounds wrong and is wrong, as Vegetto would be flipping the board over and punching the other guy in the throat.

So...

Bad guys
King - Freeza in chair
Queen - Ginyu
Bishop - Recoome
Knight - Zarbon
Rook - Vegeta
Pawn - Saibamen

Good guys
King - Kami on throne
Queen - Goku
Bishop - Piccolo
Knight - Gohan
Rook - Krillin
Pawn - Yamcha

I think Chi-Chi can be worked into there somehow.

Considering it was a Rocketman post, I'm surprised she wasn't. XD

I've actually got quite a few I've come up with over the years, and I may as well list a few of my favorites, since I'm bored. I'd love to have each of these released~ Gonna change up the format though, as as not to make a super long looking post here. Pieces will be listed in the following order:
KING - QUEEN - BISHOP - KNIGHT - ROOK - PAWN

Early DB set
White: Ox King - Chi-Chi - Roshi - Yamcha - Goku - Oolong
Black: Pilaf - Mai - Shuu - Boss Rabbit - Giran - Bear Bandit

Mid DB set
White: Roshi - Goku - Krillin - Yamcha - Android 8 - Chi-Chi
Black: Crane Hermit - Tien - General Blue - Chaotzu - Mercenary Tao - RRA Grunt

Late DB set
White: Kami - Goku - Tien - Chi-Chi (23rd Budokai) - Yajirobe - Chaotzu
Black: King Piccolo - Ma Junior - Tambourine - Drum - Cymbal - Cyborg Tao

Early Z set
White: Piccolo - SSJ Goku - Gohan - Krillin - Tien - Yamcha
Black: Freeza - Ginyu - Zarbon - Kui - Vegeta - Saibaman

Mid Z set
White: SSJ Goku - SSJ2 Gohan - SSJU Vegeta - SSJU2 Trunks - Piccolo - Krillin
Black: Dr. Gero - Cell - Android 16 - Android 17 - Android 18 - Android 19

Late Z set
White: Mr. Satan - SSJ3 Goku - Ultimate Gohan - Videl - Piccolo - Kaioshin
Black: Babidi - Kid Buu - Dabura - Pui Pui - Majin Vegeta - Spoppovitch

'course, these aren't prefect. There's others I would have liked to include but couldn't. The lack of Vegetto, for instance. But I didn't want Majin Vegeta and Vegetto in the same set. Also, you'll note, only the first DB set bothers to make the Queen a female piece, even when female pieces are included elsewhere in the set.

[Rocketman]

King - Goku
Queen - ChiChi.

There, you happy? :P

[dragondyle]

Wow, are you guys seriously debating which chess piece should be which Dragonball character?

[Silver Sinspawn]

Apparently. But its just because the actual set had a poor set of characters.

[The Time Traveller]

I think a Dragon Ball should be the King piece...

[Xyex]

Again: KING - QUEEN - BISHOP - KNIGHT - ROOK - PAWN

Movie set
White: Hildegarn - Bojack - Dr. Wheelo - Avo/Kado - Lord Slug - Bio Brolly
Black: Metal Cooler - Brolly - Janemba - Turles - Super 13 - Garlic Jr.

Yeah, I know, Avo and Kado aren't from a movie, but I need 12 pieces and the DBZ movies really only have 11 unique villains. Cooler and Metal Cooler being too similar for me to count then separately, where was Bio Brolly's a big sludge monster, and thus quite different from Brolly.

[SHINOBI-03]

Umm... for how long are you going to talk/write about chess sets?!! Aren't you going a bit overboard with more than two pages with nothing but chess this and chess that?!

Broli is queen?

Until something more interesting to discuss comes along.

Broli is queen?

Well, there aren't any female main villains. We only get Zangya as an underling. Thus, there are no female pieces at all. I figure since Brolly's the one going around clothes-lining everyone in site, he can be the most powerful piece on the board (for his side, at least).
