The Street Calibur 5 Lounge: The Soul Burns But not as Hard as the FGC is Burning

Got it. In any case, are you up for some Ken mirrors?

Iā€™m going to set the record straight now: Vega is not good and if you think he is youā€™re wrong. Anyone that seriously thinks heā€™s good, (let alone top tier) has not spent a day, and probably not even an hour, playing matches with him.

This shit comes up every year even though he gets nothing but middling buffs after getting clapped in S1 and no results at high level basically ever.

Iā€™m tired as fuck of this discussion and this fake hype around the character. Of course he isnā€™t unplayable, but niggas have no idea what they are talking about when they mention him.

I almost forgot. Since you donā€™t check the DBZ thread, what do you think about the Future Trunks Arc in Super being filler?

As in the fans think itā€™s filler because they donā€™t like it or because they donā€™t take it as cannon?

Sister fight :grinning:

As in Iā€™m calling it filler because it has no lasting consequences whatsoever. (Despite it being one of the best arcs of the series, ending aside.)

You can deadass skip straight to the ToP arc and only wonder why there are 2 Zenos instead of 1. :rofl:

Iā€™m kinda glad Cas is a gorilla. Thinking is for nerds and virgins.

Iā€™m just sayinā€¦

I wake up and I missed juicy dumbassery.

Sure! Iā€™m not sure when Iā€™ll be free though. Maybe friday night?

Couple of things:

Summary

Trunksā€™ Arc (which Iā€™ll refer to as TA from here on) is a major setup arc for the proceeding part of DBS. Yes, they did introduce Zenos, which in its own right is huge because it sets up entire plot points regarding the destruction of universes or even wars between the two Zenos themselves. The story practically writes itself. We are also more definitively introduced to a more vertical multiverse, so we have Universes 1-13, and now multiple timelines too, where those 13 universes are different. Thatā€™s another setup point for many arcs to come I imagine. It also retcons/refines Potara fusion and the dynamic between Gods of Creation and Destruction; world building. Weā€™re also introduced to the idea that every Saiyan has their own unique application of their abilities and character development through Vegetaā€™s speech to Black. This was further built upon in the ToP and in the Broly movie through the constant surpassing of oneā€™s limits. While we knew Saiyans had potential, we now know why there are varying degrees of success for training in equal parts - some just apply/utilise that skill better.

Purified God Ki as represented through Black is something not yet built on and very sparsely even touched on at all, so Iā€™m sure itā€™ll be a plot point that will be forgotten, but itā€™s there for the using.

All in all TA has been super instrumental in setting up arcs in the immediate future and probably arcs to come. If weā€™re being technical, then saying that we need landmark forms to quantify the impact of an arc will just lead to more complaints. Itā€™s why Gohan SSJ2 in Cell was necessary, but nothing of the sort happened here.

Skipping over it would also achieve just as little and probably lead to equally campy narrative alternatives, so at least this gives us an idea of whatā€™s to come.

TL;DR
No, of course itā€™s not filler. What are you, a DBZ Instagram page?

I did it in advance, knowing youā€™d say this shit:

Now whoā€™s the free one? Iā€™m reading you outside of the game! Watch enough DB and you gain Ultra Instinct.

Heh, right on cue.

What you want Ultra Instinct for? Dodging people? Miss me with that shit. :rofl:

It was a pun! Not my fault you canā€™t understand the highest form of comedy.

Funny enough I disagree that that arc is filler, but itā€™s also where I stopped watching the series. I enjoyed the Super stuff before that but at some point they are on bad future earth and I realized I just didnā€™t give a shit what was going on.

At that point I was already skipping episodes waiting for the show to pick up and it just never did.
