Maybe it's in the games to give Vegeta a special attack while not in SSJ? I dunno. Cause most of his other attacks, like Big Bang Attack and Final Flash, were learned AFTER SSJ.
Wasn't it also used during a fight with Cell in the anime? I don't recall very well, but I think Cell used it against someone.

I do recall Trunks mentioning something about his father's Galick Gun during the Cell Saga, near the time when USSJ vegeta was taking on second form Cell, so it's possible it was used then. But that's from the dub, so take it for what it's worth.

Yes, second-form Cell used it against USSJ Vegeta and it didn't even scratch him.

Yes, Cell was charging it to use on Vegeta. I can't remember if he ever did or not.

As for your statement, Leotaku. It's not entirely correct. While Vegeta didn't use the BBA until after he'd become a Super Saiya-jin he used the Final Flash (although unnamed at the time) on Namek.

You're positive? When was that? I thought the first time he used it was during that long charging up sequence for it (I've only watched the anime, and haven't read the manga, so that's what I'm going on), which was I think when he used it to blow off a chunk of Cell. Don't remember too well though.

It was the attack used on Recoome, that destroyed his armor and provided us with the horrible image of a muscular guy in a ripped jumpsuit, saying "Hiii!" with an ambiguous pose and a wide grin.

The attack itself WAS similar to Final Flash, however Vegeta started charging visible energy before putting his hands together and the fingers were wide-spread, not partially clenched.

You can't site the minor differences as making it a different attack though. Otherwise we've seen Goku use a billion of them due to the ways he's done the Kamehameha. We've seen him charge while his hands are cupped at his side, charge after he pushes his arms forward, shoot it from this feet, etc... It's all varriations of one move. Same goes with the two uses of the Final Flash.

Bah, spout what you will but I'm of the school of belief that until it's officially named the first time, it's just some meaningless ki blast.

Hmm...I wouldn't remember that. I haven't watched the Namek episodes for ages.

Yes, he did fire it, and it didn't put a scratch to Vegeta.

There's not a whole lot I can add that hasn't already been stated above. Traditionally, "Big Bang Attack" and "Final Flash" are attributed as new attacks to Vegeta only after he's become Super Saiya-jin. That's not to say this attack couldn't have been the basis for the eventual-finished "Final Flash," blah blah blah...

But it's not given a name, and it's just kinda there. Not every attack in the series has a name

Your first image doesn't show

(maybe it's just me)

From what I've seen that attack is basically the Final Flash with a few differences. This could have just been Vegeta improvising then later he realised that this was a good attack so kept it and improved on it (at which point he named it)

I fixed it. File permissions were fine, but something wasn't letting Mike hotlink, so I set 'em again. Shouldn't be a problem, now.

Um now it's the first two. (I say again, maybe [this time] it's just me)

Perhaps it is. Anyways, er... back on topic.

If it's not too much trouble, could someone screencap Cell using Garlic Ho?

EDIT: Ummm... Julian? You might want to post something quickly. Your count is 666... don't wanna be cursed! (kidding of course)
