Son Goku vs. Piccolo Daimao by far IMO.

Re: The greatest battle in Dragon Ball
I think my favourite battle in the series is definitely Son Goku vs. Piccolo at the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budokai. The choreography was brilliant, full of flair and flourish (the perfect blend of old-school DB martial arts and the explosive style of Z to come), and the satisfying climax where you felt Goku's desperation all the way to him finally winning the tournament. In fact, most of the tournament battles are just great, especially the respective final matches.
Son Goku vs. Piccolo Daimao is probably my second favourite, because of how emotionally driven the battle was, how it hit home more than before the incredible strength of Goku (a little boy managing to go head-to-head with the towering Great Demon King) and that it was probably one of the best (and only) times you can really call Goku a true hero. The fact that he was so desperate to win that, even all but one of his limbs broken, he mustered up enough energy to literally blast through Piccolo.
Worthy mention goes to the battle with Nappa and Vegeta, also because the heightened sense of despair that you felt more than ever this time around, with heroes that we'd grown attached to suddenly dying one-by-one. Goku eventually comes, with his Kaio-ken, but even he is crushed like an ant within Vegeta's grip. At the end of it, all of them really look as if they've been through hell. Just the twists, the turns, Vegeta somehow never staying down. It literally took everything in everyone's arsenals to take the villain down, resorting to a collapsing giant monkey to finish it.

Yeah the Z senshi vs the Saiyans was good. Like how it seemed to take every once of energy the Z senshi had to finally defeat Vegeta.

Re: The greatest battle in Dragon Ball
My all time favorite fight in the DB series was definitely SS2 Goku Vs Majin Vegeta.
Re: The greatest battle in Dragon Ball
For me it would have to be the Goku vs. Vegeta fight. It was well choreographed and everything seemed to flow perfectly. The highlight of it though was the beam struggle which was really amazing, especially with Goku increasing his Kaioken technique in the middle of the beam struggle to create a massive amount of ki that streamed up the beam and knocked Vegeta into the stratosphere. I believe the fight was also voted, and won, one of the best fights at an anime convention 2 years ago.

Re: The greatest battle in Dragon Ball
I'd say Goku VS Piccolo at the end of Dragonball. It was a really enjoyable fight to watch.

Re: The greatest battle in Dragon Ball
For some reason I've always loved the Piccolo vs Android 17 fight. I especially loved how they ended up forming a brief alliance to fight Cell. To me that was always cool especially when I was younger.
Re: The greatest battle in Dragon Ball
I can't decide on any one battle, really. But I will say that I love any battle where Goku and Vegeta actually team up and work together. That would be, off the top of my head, Vs Metal Coola in Movie 6, Vs Janemba in Movie 12, and of course the final showdown with Pure Boo. Oh, and also Vs Yi Xing Long at the end of GT, I suppose.

Because I'm pretty sure at the start of this thread, they made the point of saying which is the most popular, or iconic not which is your favourite.

Re: The greatest battle in Dragon Ball
You have to understand since Dragon Ball Z, the original Dragon Ball that is, came out in 1975. 15 years before this whole "just DB" thing came out. When DB came out in 1990, nobody really cared, we'd already seen Z, most people just didn't care about another series at that point. Dragon Ball Z was extremely popular, whereas only people from Romania, Czechoslovakia and other small countries watched DB. Nosferatu, still alive to this day, was a very well known critic that bashed DBZ, but praised DB. In fact, in Japan, they canceled DB as a manga and anime. Toriyama signed it off to some Romanian guy that ended up poorly drawing and using "Homebrew" animation techniques to finish the anime. FUNimation animated the Piccolo Daimao - 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai which has recently been released on those "Blue Bricks". I hope that answers your question.Gaffer Tape wrote:Was that a TFS reference/joke?
