Even if we know for sure where each character stands, you think that would last more than a couple of episodes? Ribrianne is a good example of that.
This was my Biggest Beef with the ToP up to this point and it is how inconsistent the writing has being with how each character stands up to the other in the battles and Honestly Ribrianne was one of the Biggest Victims of this writing.
How she fought at the start was High and even the Fight with Goku was good, but the writers seem to do a major Nerfing by the time they got to Goku with him just being in his Base form, while back in 102-103 Ribrianne could easily fight SSJ-Vegeta and going even with 17, yet just a few mins later in the ToP she is at base?!
So how you go from that to just base level with no reasoning, even a reasoning would be good, power drain, stamina, whatever but never a respectful reason. It caught some fans, especially Me, here by surprise when we talked about it and it just go worst form their with the nerfing of her.
This is not a problem with Ribrianne's character either, by 118 her story was done pretty well for a starting point, but the factor that the writing staff did not either communicate with how the power scaling should have looked or given reasons why her power level was going down so fast just left some of us suprised and honestly disappointed in the DBS writing staff.
It is just 1 show, this is not like Marvel or DC Comics doing a Major Crossover event to try and tell it in many books, just 1 show. So the factor that Toei could not get just a power scaling of Ribrianne or I know other characters right was a major disappointment in showing respect to writing characters with respect towards what they SHOULD be able to do.
