But Trunks says that he created the alternative timeline where GT takes place, and the one he created should be the main timeline where the manga/anime takes place. There is also Cell's timeline & the unseen 4th timeline, but no other timelines were created from what we know. Why would Trunks' time-travels create the GT timeline? I doubt they want to imply that GT is an alternative timeline, especially when BoG characters interact with GT characters.TheDevilsCorpse wrote:I'm not talking about Trunks' rambling where he sounds half confused, I'm talking about the mission descriptions in the Time Vault. It specifically says you travel to the timeline where the Ultimate Dragon Balls were used to turn Goku into a kid, and the only time "timelines" are mentioned are on the start of the missions for where you travel to Trunks' timeline and the GT timeline.

Re: How does Golden Freeza fare off against fighters in GT
I thought that was just Trunks explaining that he wasn't the "same" Trunks as the one who never had to deal with the androids. That still doesn't explain why the Time Vault description insinuates that the events of GT belong to their own timeline, and it doesn't explain why Goku from GT doesn't seem to recognize the player character after their first meeting either.
Re: How does Golden Freeza fare off against fighters in GT
Seeing as Beerus can casually destroy stars outside of his own nebula (which can range from 2 - hundreds of light years long) in under 3 mins and Goku can react to said blasts I don't see how anyone in Gt can tag Freeza at all

You underestimate how inflated powers are in GT. ^
Anywho, Base Shadow Dragon saga Goku pimp smacks the Gold off of Freeza. in my opinion.

But wait, Whis said that when the stars were destroyed the area around the temple was dark, which means that they had to be less than 3 light-minutes away or else their light would still be shining when he reversed time.Saiyan007 wrote:Seeing as Beerus can casually destroy stars outside of his own nebula (which can range from 2 - hundreds of light years long) in under 3 mins and Goku can react to said blasts I don't see how anyone in Gt can tag Freeza at all
Then again, Toriyama has never been much of the science expert.

Spoiler:
Then Goku was dodging those blasts by a 70% Beerus no problem
I'm pretty sure these guys are hilariously faster than the speed of light

Re: How does Golden Freeza fare off against fighters in GT
I think Golden Frieza beats everyone in GT except Baby, Super 17, SS4 Gogeta, and Omega Shenron. Baby can take over before the fight even starts, 17 absorbs most of Freeza's' own power to beat him, Omega Shenron gives him a good fight until Freeza's energy runs out and kills him, and obv Gogeta rips him a new asshole in two seconds.

Re: How does Golden Freeza fare off against fighters in GT
Video game interactions in vs. intros don't always mean anything really. In the past games, Bardock and Vegeta interact with Tullece when it's unlikely that Vegeta and Bardock knows Tullece.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:I doubt they want to imply that GT is an alternative timeline, especially when BoG characters interact with GT characters.

Re: How does Golden Freeza fare off against fighters in GT
No, really. If you play the game, there's a ton of versus mode interactions that wouldn't make sense from a continuity perspective (and I'm not just referring to GT). They're primarily just meant to be what-if scenarios.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Not really.

Personally, I don't put any one from BoG/FnF anywhere near Super #17.

Wasn't Super 17 stated to only be twice as strong as the original 17? The only reason he was dangerous was his ki absorbing ability.SSJ2FutureGohan wrote:Personally, I don't put any one from BoG/FnF anywhere near Super #17.

Hell Fighter #17 was 'evenly matched' with Base Vegeta, initial Super #17 was stomping SS/2 Vegeta.

Re: How does Golden Freeza fare off against fighters in GT
GT Goku recognizes Beerus, meaning that he knows him in his timeline. They are what-if scenarios, but they are based on what each character knows or doesn't know about each character. For example, the interaction between SS4 Gogeta & Beerus should have been like [Beerus: "Goku? You seem different..." Gogeta: "Who is that weird cat?"], not "Maybe I can finally win against Lord Beerus!".Marlowe89 wrote:No, really.

Re: How does Golden Freeza fare off against fighters in GT
And Cell recognizes Buu, not to mention the fact that Freeza doesn't seem remotely afraid of Beerus. It's clear from a few of these interactions that character knowledge or strict continuity wasn't considered that much when the battle quotes were conceived. They're just fantasy match-ups that are sometimes imagined as if two characters know each other despite never having met in the storyline or the same timeline.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:GT Goku recognizes Beerus, meaning that he knows him in his timeline.

Re: How does Golden Freeza fare off against fighters in GT
Cell mentions "this Buu character" despite having no way of knowing Buu's name. Conversely, Omega Shenron can instantly recognize Freeza even though he has zero knowledge on what Freeza would look like.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:What do they say in these interactions?Marlowe89 wrote:And Cell recognizes Buu, not to mention the fact that Freeza doesn't seem remotely afraid of Beerus.
As for Freeza and Beerus, both characters recognize each other (as they should) but then Freeza nonchalantly threatens to destroy Beerus, which is completely contrary to his portrayal in RoF.

Re: How does Golden Freeza fare off against fighters in GT
These are different. The way they speak, the speak as if this is the first time they met, not as if they know each other from the past. Yi Xing Long knows who Freeza is because he knows who he is going to fight (because this is a game), but he doesn't say anything like "You'll pay for beating me last time!".Marlowe89 wrote:Cell mentions "this Buu character" despite having no way of knowing Buu's name.
