DragonBall Z Abridged

[Lance Freeman]

Where are they pulling these numbers from?

[Budogenkai]

TFS has probably already recorded the new episode, but I'd love if they somehow found a way to put Guru inside Goku's body. IDK how they would make it work but it would be the funniest shit ever.

Just typing "Vegeta's height" into google yields a couple sites with that number.

However, the Super Exciting Guide seems to have his height listed as 164 cm, which would be closer to 5'4 or 5'5.

Of course, with Vegeta we can give an inch or two leeway since it's hard to know where the top of his head ends under that hair.

I was thinking more along the lines of "500% power boost per level of Super Saiyan".

Good question.

According to Daizenshuu 7 when Son Goku transformed and fought Freeza his power shot from 3 million to 150 million. Assuming the transformation is a constant multiplicative increase, then that's a 50x increase from base to Super Saiyajin. In other words, a %5000 increase.

Of course the increase to further levels (once again, assuming there is a constant number) can't be measured with Battle Powers since they became obsolete after the Freeza Arc and were never used again, regardless of what some fansites try to tell you.

Does anybody know of any dialogue or guidebooks that indicate anything more specific than "Super Saiyajin 2 is better than Super Saiyajin"?

Yep, one of the "Super Exciting Guide" books from a few years ago. It says as usual that Super Saiyan grants a 50x boost to one's battle power, then that Super Saiyan 2 has twice the strength of Super Saiyan (so a x100 boost over normal), and finally that Super Saiyan 3 has four times the strength of Super Saiyan 2 (so a whopping 400x boost over normal).

Which fits with a similar note from the GT Perfect Files a few years before that; that Goku often skips right over Super Saiyan 2 because the boost it grants is small compared to that of Super Saiyan 3.

That note doesn't make a whole lot of sense. At least it doesn't make sense if we consider that its stating that Goku prefers to skip SSj2 because the difference between SSj2 and SSj3 is larger than between SSj1 and SSj2.

Even if SSj3 was just twice the power of SSj2, like SSj2 is compared to SSj1, it would still be worth skipping SSj2 because he would instantly get 4 times the power of the SSj1 instead of just twice, if we follow that logic.

[Kaboom]

Well, all in all I'd say it was just their way of making an excuse for (allegedly) never featuring Super Saiyan 2 in GT. >_>

[Attitudefan]

So with this Yamamoto thing, will DBZ Abridged still be using his score?

Definitely, that stuff doesn't matter to us.

[Attitudefan]

OK cool. It seemed obvious that you guys would but one can never bee to sure especially since its rise in popularity and merchandise.

[SRB2Unleashed]

Kaiser, I NEED to know (okay not need) but I've been really curious if you were planning to use any insert songs (Saiyan Blood, Battle Point Unlimited, The Lone Warrior, Spirit VS Spirit, etc.) mainly, Super Dragon Soul.

And what's the next special are you abridging? Movie 4? And when to be exact? (Though I'm sure the next DBZA special isn't set in stone for a release) During or after the Freeza arc?

[Ringworm128]

Are you guys ever gonna do more with the Piccolo being on Myspace thing? Also are you guys ever gonna do Movie 4 and 5? Because you already seem to have a few jokes for them (Coola being a prick Space France etc).

[KaiserNeko]

Alright, lemme touch on some stuffs!

1. It's likely we'll use an insert song SOMEWHERE in the future. Wherever it's most appropriate.

2. Most likely, we'll be doing Movie 4. When? Prooobably somewhere near the end of the Freeza Saga, but definitely before Garlic Jr.

3. I'm not going to lie, we're probably dropping the MySpace joke. We're trying to avoid that type of referential humor that actually effects the characters personality.

4. We'll definitely do Cooler some day. =3

[Attitudefan]

Myspace joke has been replaced!

The irony

[Kingdom Heartless]

Plus, who uses Myspace anymore? I went to my page a few weeks ago out of curiosity, I swear I saw a tumbleweed go across the screen.

[Piccolo Daimao]

Plus, who uses Myspace anymore?

Piccolo.

[JulieYBM]

You guys should totally do movie four before Gokû becomes a Super Saiyan on Namek to make fun of that.

Movie five would fit pretty good after the Trunks stuff, too...

[Budogenkai]

Oh god I know I'll probably cry at the jokes you guys will have for the Cooler movie.

[Kingdom Heartless]

Oh god I know I'll probably cry at the jokes you guys will have for the Cooler movie.

Especially when you consider how much Abridged Freeza and Cooler dislike each other.
