What's Vegeta's main attack?

Post by Travis Touchdown » Tue May 05, 2015 3:19 pm

Everyone seems to have their own attack that's their go-to or signature attack.

Goku has the Kamehameha
Krillin has Kienzan
Yamcha has Wolf Fang Fist etc.

What would you say is Vegeta's? Vegeta's Galick Gun, Final Flash, Final Shine, and Big Bang Attack are all seemingly equally famous and he only uses each a couple of times. Which do you think is his main attack though?

Vegeta's main super attack is random ki blast spamming.

Other than that, it is the Galick Gun because of the anime. In the manga alone he only used it against Goku. Final Flash and Final Shine Attack have been his ultimate flashy attacks since the Cell Saga. If you ask me what his trademark move is, that is Final Flash.

Like you said, he basically only uses each of them a few times in the arc it was introduced lol

For all intents and purposes, the Garlic Gun is his "Main" attack when most supplemental stuff talks about Vegeta. Like, in the video games, it's usually put on the same level as Goku's Kamehameha and Gohan's Masenko etc.

Vegeta is just way too cool to have one main attack 8)
By the way, I would say Spirit Bomb is Goku's signature attack since everyone can more or less use the Kamehamehameha wave. I would say Galick gun is a variation of the Kamehamehameha wave too so I would say Final Flash would be Vegeta's signature if we had to narrow it down to one.

I'd say Galick Gun, only because it's the first move of his we see and he doesn't really use that same attacks on a regular basis.

The Galick Gun was equivalent with Goku's Kamehameha, so that's the one people normally associate with Vegeta. It was used in Battle of Gods too.

In the Saiyan Saga and on Namek his main 'attack' was using his intelligence. This totally changed after he learned SSJ though.

Didn't he also use it against Freeza?

I'd say Vegeta's main attacks would be the Galick Gun, too.

I think it is better not to have a main attack, but instead having different techniques than having just one main attack.

You know... One of the things I hope Dragon Ball S presents is a new technique for Kakarot. Kamehameha is what it is, but come on... New things are welcome! :wink:

Since the anime's Cell arc and SNES games, Vegeta's signature attack for me were the Big Bang Attack and Final Flash opposed to Goku's Kamehameha, Cho Kamehameha and Genkidama.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Nope. Not in the manga, anyway. As noted, in the manga Vegeta's named attacks are all one-hit wonders. Of course, it's not just Vegeta; lots of fancy attacks turn up only once in the manga but make repeat appearances in the anime. There's Piccolo's Makankosappo, Yamcha's Sokidan, Tenshinhan's Shishin-no-Ken, even Gohan's Masenko.

It gets a bit more complicated if you try to count ambiguous times where they just do the right pose or hand position for an attack, but as far as Vegeta actually shouting "Gallick Gun", in the manga he only does that once, when fighting Goku.

This looks like one of Vegeta's go to moves for when he's in a pinch:

Namek saga
Buu saga

Well I was basing it on the pose he did when he attacked Freeza which was the same as the Galick Gun pose.

Not against Beerus. He no sold that shit. Then he pressured poked Vegeta in the forehead and knocked him out cold. Beerus was like, "Bitch, get the fuck out of my face with that rage boost shit, you ain't Gohan. I'll hit your women whenever I damn well want. She shouldn't have been steppin to the God Of Destruction. Now go to sleep, bruh. I got pudding to eat, Super Saiyan Gods to humiliate and planets to destroy."
