Vegeta's Fighting Style

[MyVisionity]

Also think back to when Goku and Vegeta first fought, they have particular stances, Vegeta holds a open hand over his head while his other arm is back by his waist. Goku keeps both arms lower with one closer to his face and two fingers extended out on each hand, perhaps to channel Ki. When Vegeta blocks punches he blocks with the back of his Forearm with his fists covering his face, he also blocks with open hands as if catching each punch. Goku blocks with the side of his Forearm with fingers still extended to channel Ki to strengthen his arm.

I'm pretty sure the stances between two fighters usually represents who's going to start offense and who's defense.

Not necessarily. Vegeta's stance makes him look more menacing, wild, and brutal. Son Goku's stance is similar to martial arts. Goku is like a martial artist and Vegeta is like a street fighter, only more refined.

Maybe if they were fighting with Samurai Swords yes. But Vegeta takes this stance often as does Goku in their various fights.

Yes, from what I saw, I'd say you're right. Vegeta was leaning on his back leg more while Goku was leaning forward, so Vegeta was basically challenging Goku to attack first (which fits Vegeta's style and personality nicely).

(As a side question, does a post exactly one week after the last post count as necroposting? If so, then I'm so sorry. I didn't think that a week was so bad, especially since the topic was so near the top, but I'm not sure.)

You're ok, veshira.

Maybe it wasn't necessarily an offensive/defensive stance in this situation, but generally in more formal combatitive settings like the Tournaments, the characters will appear in such form.
