They are only in the video games, so I personally don't care. I think its pretty cool and the only SSj3 that I didn't like was SSj3 Broly. If he was a normal SSj3 then I won't mind it but the green hair looks awful IMO.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind if it was a green tint:

I just wish they had a bit more originality, like in Budokai 2. But nowadays, it seems as if their creativity extends to "another SS".

The legend was ruined. Goku should have been the only super saiyajin, and honestly, I feel like the series should have ended at Freeza. After that, the show got worse. From DB to Freeza, it's an excellent show. I still like the rest, I don't hate it. But Freeza is by far the best villain in Z, the best story arc, everything. Some androids being stronger than Freeza was so stupid and especially since they were created by a red ribbon guy. And then... Majin Buu, all the kids becoming SSJ like it's a joke, gotenks is stronger than Goku and all kinds of crap. A joke when compared to Freeza's saga.

I also don't like that half saiyajins can be stronger than pure saiyajins, took off some of the luster from the warrior race. Humans are incredibly weak in comparison but when mixed with Saiyajins they become all-powerful. I guess it could work as some kind of "mutation" that makes the saiyanjin genes even stronger or something, but for me, similar to how other ssj levels diminished the mystic of the legend, this diminished the status of the saiyajin race.

I'd be less irritated by it, if it wasn't that SS3 is so boring. Every other form of SS is dependent on the Saiyan's personal appearance (just look at how different Cell Games, Future, and Buu Gohan look at SS1).

"What would SS1 Pan look like?"

Well that's interesting cause her hair always lays flat, so you can pick which bangs rise or don't and how the spikes arrange and of course the look will change if she's wearing the bandana....

"What would SS3 Pan look like?"

Copy-paste SS3 Gotenks' hair, remove eyebrows. Good job lads, let's hit the pub.

I'm not tired of it, seeing that in the manga and anime, only Goku and Gotenks are SSJ3, so two ain't bad. I couldn't care any less about the rest of the mediums.

Most of them are meant to exist outside the main continuity anyway, so it doesn't really bother me.

It's nice to see something new done with a character, no matter how uninspired it may be.
