^ good points. I hate when people say Vegetas a more skilled fighter than Goku. Gokus the most skilled Z-fighter by far. And this is coming from someone who prefers a lot of the Z-fighters over Goku.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

If everyone had equal power, Goku would beat all of them.

I still hope to Zalama in the upcoming arc. It would be interesting for him to show up to have some role in the story.

He would be my number 3.
Tien 2nd and Piccolo first. I feel Goku lacks concentration at certain times.

I definitely don't think Tien would win. Goku destroyed him tactically in their rematch during the 23rd martial arts tournament. Piccolo is debatable but his gigantification mistake also makes me think he'd lose to someone like Goku. Goku's lack of concentration comes from when he thinks he's beat the enemy.

Goku still has one upped Vegeta with KK. Beerus fought Goku and knows how smart a fighter he was afterall he was able to absorb SSG. I think he knows when Vegeta comes down to it he has nothing on Goku, Goku is his match winner, Vegeta is his second safe. I'd still be very concerned if my matchwinner was not showing up for training despite my second being there I mean who wouldn't? Vegeta is a very limited fighter compared to Goku too. Goku has Shunkanido, KK and even the Spirit Dama on top of ki attacks and brute strength which is all Vegeta has going for him.
We get that, but so is Vegeta. He's also an intelligent resourceful fighter. In fact Goku only got lucky he was told Hit's move or he'd have gone down just as quick as Vegeta. Again it's all part of a gag as we see this bothers Vegeta. With him having no concern for the others yet, that seems to be because he doesn't know the stipulation of the tournament yet. They've yet to say how it works, and how many people are needed in universe.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

I was kinda thinking (and definitely for) this too. Maybe the younger characters were left out of the poster on purpose as to not reveal a time skip.

If that were the case, I doubt they'll skip to EoZ but I wouldn't mind a skip of one or two years still.
I do far more lurking than actual posting.

Tenshinhan only won the 22nd tournament through sheer luck, Goku technically defeated him despite Ten having better techniques and the advantage of flight.

We have seen Goku fight Tien and Piccolo on equal footing, and he outwitted both of them.

He would have won the 22nd tournament if a trunk didn't hit him at the last possible second and he out-skilled Tien during the 23rd tournament by seeing through the weakness of his multiform and blinded him with his own technique.

During the 23rd, he tricked Piccolo into getting bigger to so he can jumped down his throat and grab Kami. He also held on to the fact that he could fly until he really needed it and took down Piccolo.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

The problem with the Goku vs Piccolo fight is that Goku had to win becuase of the story. As the series has progressed Piccolo has increased his skill factor and has become a lot smarter since has lost that 'evilness'. Goku however has been relying on Power as the series has progressed whereas Piccolo has relied more on skill.

We are talking about at the current stage of the series.

Piccolo and Goku have 2 different fighting styles it just depends what you think is better. My reason for Tien and Piccolo being more skillful is that they are always 100% serious and concentrated which is not the case with Goku 100% of the time.

It seems that tune at the end is indeed a preview of the new opening.

Unless he has very short ears like how Champa has a stubby tail. I would prefer that the other Gods of Destruction were not cats but it wouldn't surprise me if they were, like how the Kais and Supreme Kais are of the same races in three universes: Shinjin.

Yeah, I really hope one is a dog. If they come in pairs like Beerus and Champa I think it'd be fun if one was like a cute dog while the other was a ferocious looking dog.
Also I hope the angel for that huge one is really short.
