Fair enough. But Yamcha is quite strong himself.
I'm not sure hes very strong. The baseball episode was a joke...its like saying Arale should compete in the TOP.

Yamcha's likely on the level of Recoome at worst. There's no way he didn't get way stronger after King Kai or whatever he did in the Cell saga.

Krillin sucks, he has zero charisma and a lousy attitude.

To be honest, I don't think Yamcha will ever be meaningful in a battle, like... ever. He's just used as a joke character. Everything beyond that will be an asspull at this particular moment of the anime/manga. Hell, they even had to make a different manga in which he's good but actually it's another guy inside of his body or something.

Yamcha, Roshi, Tenshinhan and Krillin shouldn't be in the team. It's too much for them. Now that we know that if a warrior fall off the battle ground he/she will dissapear from existence, I just hope they don't die forever (even though we know because of EoZ and GT they'll still be alive, but whatever, let's pretend we're worried).

No. And to be honest I kinda get annoyed when I see threads like this. I know Dragon Ball is a martial arts series, but damn, not every bloody action in the show is a true reflection of any given characters strength. I mean, characters can, you know, control their power and hold back their strength. It is a thing, despite what some of the fandom may think. There is a reason the Earth hasn't blown up every time a Saiyan powered up into a Super Saiyan or beyond.

And some people wonder how it was so easy to trick people into believing that "Yamcha's gonna be the 10th fighter after Frieza defects" hoax.

Why is that?
My dislike for Krillin goes back to the Namek Frieza arc when he was proven to be kinda useless--you could say he was the catalyst that triggered Goku's transformation which is about all I see his purpose for in that arc. It's not his fault the show left everybody in the dust when they catapulted Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta leagues above everyone else, but power levels aside:

I don't like how he's become this pussyfooting scared character. In Dragonball he could sort of keep up with Goku and he was really competitive and he was cool. Now he just acts really scared all the time. He don't have a lot of confidence in himself which is a off putting for me. I want to see strong confident fighters.

I grew up on the dub, and I really hated the voice actor for Krillin too. Way too high pitched for a man.

I guess you could say I really liked the Saiyans more than the human cast, because they have transformations that are cool. Krillin has that cool destructo disc technique that I like though, but I wish he was more aggressive and more of confident strong willed character. I might like him more if he was more like Piccolo. He isn't stronger than the Saiyans, yet he still has that bad-ass feel to him you know?
Krillin's voice is deeper in the dub than the sub though.
