Considering Yamcha doesn't, I'd say that's almost definitely right.

Chaozu not attacking is a given. However I wonder if he even talks in the movie.

EDIT: ^Aha confirmed :P

I heard that to but I was hoping that was just Bills vs. Goku!
But that's sad, what the heck are they doing the rest of the time?

Gags, character development, stuff like that. That's a little more important that a bunch of fighting IMO.

Considering Yamcha doesn't, I'd say that's almost definitely right.
But what made Ten think that he had a chance? He got knocked out with one hit by Boo, and his somewhat hilarious beating with chopsticks was even worse.

I got that impression as well.

The way Beers took out Piccolo was sick.

For what it's worth, Gohan powering up was kinda cool. I'm happy with it. :)

Yeah, I'm glad they went this route. A lot of the previous movies are just "FIGHTING FIGHTING MORE FIGHTING". but, this movie embraces the gag routes that Dragon Ball had/has.

So is the beers thing official now, because I honestly like Bills better. That being said, if Beers is more "correct" I'll start calling him that.

He's just that confident of a guy I guess. He does seem the type that would want to take a shot and see how it goes, regardless of how bad it's probably going to turn out. This is the guy who managed to hold Cell down, and took a potshot at Boo, after all.

Tenshinhan is the guy who killed himself back in the Saiyan Saga. He's not exactly the brightest strategist in battles :wink:

That was awesome. Though how does Bils knock out Piccolo with chop sticks. Bullets are more dense and are made of a harder metal and would bounce off him. The chopsticks would break since its wood. But I don't care too much, it was still awesome to see the scene.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

It's the same Tenshinhan who also turned down his turn in the RoSaT because he knew he couldn't compete.. he's not an idiot and he's usually not blind to power gaps. He didn't really take a pot shot at Buu either, he simply intercepted one of Buu's attacks in order to save Dende.
