Best Ki Blast Technique

Post by xmysticgohanx » Thu Feb 27, 2014 11:33 am

Tien's Tri Beam seems to have a very high damage to user base power ratio. This can be seen when he shot buutenks and in other places in DBZ. Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon is the same like when he shot Raditz. The Kamehameha is really weak in comparison :lol: . Any other blasts I missed?
Canon is Jaco, Dragon Ball except for EoZ, Dragon Ball Super anime and manga (both are separate canons)
Kai >>> Z

Mouth blasts in General seemed to be portrayed powerful moves, even if they look silly.

Best would be either Cooler's Supernova or Janemba's sword beams. Both moves are one hit kills, logically even against something a good bit stronger than you, spammable, quick to perform, hard to impossible to dodge, and don't take a lot of energy.

The sword beams were basically rapid fire Kienzans that don't suck while the Supernova was an amplified attack that nearly overtook Goku and his Kamehameha, despite Goku being way stronger than Cooler. He was also exhausted and couldn't even move after deflecting it. Imagine if Cooler had taken advantage of the chance to Death Beam Goku in the back while he was blocking it, or moved out of the way of the deflection to fight Goku after (he'd dropped out of SS and was gonna be killed by Salza). Or if he just made another one.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Thats the best for sure'. the one he used against fatlipCell shin kikoho Tha Ha ha ha! so weak but still he managed to do somthing.
I think Tenshinhan And Pikkoro are the most skilled fighters they have the most techniques.

Final Flash, you know i was always thinking why PCellu got hurt and CelluJr deflected it with no prob.
Maby the Final Flash Power is not the technique it self but the pride and wrath of the character.

100x Big Bang Kamehameha in Budokai 3 feels overwhelmingly cathartic.

Ah, the Alpha and the Omega. As all life was created from Chaos...so shall it be DESTROYED!!!

The wails of machines | Singing cold harmony | Shifting air upward | Entranced by the breeze | Light pours like blood | Into a cosmic sea | Of stars crystallized | In a frozen symphony

Vegeto's ki sword, Beerus' energy sphere + beam combo, Freeza and Cooler's supernova, Genki Dama, death beam, Dodonpa are my favorites.

I always wanted to see a really strong character using Dodonpa, since I think it was never used again after Dragonball, but they kept using the Kamehameha all the way to the end of Z and beyond, so why not the Dodonpa?

Vegetto never revealed the best ki technique.

But from the ones shown, I'd say Final Flash. Though Vegetto's ki sword is just damn awesome.

the best is the Kamehameha
1.it's probably the fastest charging attack
2.can change direction.
3.Doesn't freaking kill or drastically reduces the users lifespan like tiens .
4.You can increase or decrease the ki output.
5.It is a condensed beam.
