What if Metal Coola choose to go to Earth instead of New Namek in DBZ Movie 6?

He'd prob die before the Geti Star got the chance to assimilate. I think he was reeking havoc in New Namek for a while before the Z cast showed up.

What if (LSSJ4) Broly met Black and mistook him for Goku?

It depends on what Black decides to do. If he begins instantly blowing shit up, GT Goku will easily kill him. Super's SSJ3 Goku is basically the same as he was in the Buu saga, at least if we base it off the manga. GT Kid Goku in base alone is already at a SSJ2 level. His adult form in SSJ3 would be a power house.

Unlike his Super counterpart, if Black started killing innocent people, GT Goku would would take immediate action to stop him, though he'd probably still start the fight off slow and toy around to test his opponent. Now, if Black goes SSJR, the tables would turn. It's hard to say if even SSJ4 Goku can stop Black in that state.
Well, in my opinion, an adult GT Goku would have been able to defeat Goku Black just by himself perhaps even without having to use a 10x Kamehameha and Dragon Fist combo like how he had done as a Full Power Super Saiyan 4 against Omega Shenron in the Shadow Dragon Saga. But in having to deal with Future Zamasu, Goku would have been forced to use either a Fusion with GT Vegeta or summon a Universal Spirit Bomb to defeat the Immortal God.

Well, to be blunt, the two Demons of Fear and Death would have destroyed both each other as well as the entire Galaxy they where fighting to the death in.

What if Future Trunks #2 didn't die at the hands of Imperfect Cell, but was only left unconscious after Cell fled with his time machine?

I don't know, he'd... continue living on in his timeline and then die to Black (if he even showed up), perhaps? I doubt Bulma would build another time machine after the androids were dealt with and when Black shows up, she probably wouldn't have time since the one in timeline #1 barely had time to gather fuel. Not sure what else he could do.

I think he'd more likely die at the hands of Dabura. Buu has probably destroyed this universe...

1: What if Vegeta and Trunks became FPSS during the Cell Games Saga

2:What if Gohan trained in the RoSaT with Piccolo during the 9 day period

3: What if Goku didn't give Cell a Senzu before he fought Gohan

4: What if Goku ate a Senzu and got a zenkai boost and helped Gohan fight Cell

Anyways, why isn't this a sticky thread?

1) They were already almost there to be begin with, but even after mastering Super Saiyan, both father and son would have only been able to defeat one Cell Junior at a time.

2) If both Full Power Super Saiyan Teen Gohan and Piccolo Katanaji would have trained together in their second trip to the Room of Spirit and Time then Perfect Cell would have been defeated with much less difficulty than in canon.

3) Perfect Cell would have still probably had the advantage, but with this time around, Full Power Super Saiyan Teen Gohan would have also been able to almost be even with the monster.

4) The Zenkai would have barely been noticeable for Goku as he wasn't injured enough to receive no more than a very moderate boost in power, but two Full Power Super Saiyans would have been more than enough to defeat Perfect Cell.

P. S. I don't really know for sure, but it might be because of the other sections of the internet being more of an attention grabber nowadays.

What if both buu and darbura became future trunks friend? Would this help or make things worse when black and Zamasu arrived?

What if trunks actually achieved ssjblue? Would they have won against Zamasu and black, the second time around?

What if the heroes knew of the ssj4 legend before fighting Beerus? Would this have helped at all in future fights?

What if Freeza decided to do some light jumping jacks when the situation on Namek became sticky? Considering his leap in only four months, that would certainly be enough to push him to at least android level.

What if the Earth DBs couldn't revive the dead? Only the Namekian and Super DBs.

1) The addition of both Majins as allies would prove to be extremely beneficial to both Future Trunks and the entire Universe, as the Time Breakers would have helped in dealing with the threats to the Future Earth.

2) Yes, but only just barely. As we have no idea as of yet exactly what is the extent of the immortality that Future Zamasu has in his possession.

3) Yeah, big time. Goku, Vegeta, and Future Trunks would have been able to surpass Beerus and even Whis in their most powerful forms respectively if they were to have knowledge from Old Kai of SSJ4 before or even after encountering Beerus the Destroyer.

Probably the series would be different. I think Goku would never travel out with Bluma and Grandpa Gohan would give Bluma the Dragon Ball. Not to mention Pilaf would probably wish to rule the world since Bluma would probably be killed off and they would never meet Yamcha. Pilaf rules the world until someone tries to over throw him or until Radditz shows up.

I think a question like this is more suited for this thread.
