Digimon Cyber Sleuth RP

I'm torn because it sounds really interesting, but my Digimon knowledge is mostly limited to the first few anime series so I don't know how useful I can be contributing to a universe I know next to nothing about.

I had no problem following the fight. This is your last warning. Anymore complaining like this then I'll tell you to leave

@Weird Tales

Yeah because you retroactively changed the order of everything, so naturally you have no problem. But that doesn't mean I or anyone else won't have any issues following the events. But I've already given up on following the scene at this point, so whatever.

Would have been nice if you addressed any of the other, far more important points. But sure, let's just ignore them, that'll surely fix everything.

DBZ: The Sagas of The Z Warrior

We could always follow the movie canon?

Like, take my "space pod distress signal" suggestion but instead of Vegeta and Nappa it's Turles and the Cursher Corp that intercepts it. Then we could have ourselves a Tree of Might story arc. Maybe some time after that, Lord Slug lands and inexplicably knows about the Dragon Balls. As we fight him we uncover his identity as a Namekian, simultaneously discovering that about Piccolo and Kami as well. And if, during that fight, Piccolo were to die... well we'd lose our Dragon Balls but be able to guess the existence of Dragon Balls on Namek so we decide to go there.

...Wait, did I just outline an elaborate course correction?

DBZ: The Sagas of The Z Warrior

@Reflection It might not be hard to fix. I see too options for that. One is that Raditz's pod has some kind of connection to the Scouter, and when the Scouter breaks the pod automatically sends out a long-range distress signal that Vegeta and Nappa can detect. They may not care about saving Raditz of course, but they might be prideful enough to go in and finish what he started. The other solution is that Raditz simply has a spare Scouter. *shrug*

DBZ: The Sagas of The Z Warrior

@CaptainSully Oh by all means, acquire all of that stuff. I've said from day 1 that power levels don't mean a damn thing to me, and that still holds true. Hell, I have every intention of basically never using the Super Saiyan transformation at all, except for maybe one instance and even that isn't guaranteed. I have other things in mind and none of this is going to change that.

If I have any real gripe with anything right now it's the fact that Raditz is probably gonna be dead before my character can question him. And I've long since assumed that geminironin (Daiko) is gone and not coming back, so that means I need to find another avenue for Yang's personal quest. Actually, destroying that Scouter may have screwed things up for us because now Vegeta and Nappa don't have any way to hear about the Dragon Balls and thus have no reason to show up one year later. Oh yeah... that also means that Kami has no reason to vouch for Sam to visit King Kai.... whoops.

DBZ: The Sagas of The Z Warrior

@Double so you’re saying this is about us telling a story yet you have a strop because I’ve wanted Sam to die, go for a trip down Snake Way and visit King Kai?

@CaptainSully

Considering the insane boost you'll get from it? 10x gravity training, plus Kaiken and Genki Dama (Spirit Bomb) techniques. Everyone still on Earth... regular training (no increased gravity) and probably some made up techniques that aren't going to be nearly as heavy-hitting as Kaioken and Spirit Bomb.

The way this is currently structured, the first person to die is pretty much guaranteed to be the designated Goku who is always going to be leagues ahead and virtually impossible to catch up to.

DBZ: The Sagas of The Z Warrior

My latest post is simply an attempt to get this mess done and dusted. I had no intention of killing Raditz when this started (made that clear many times) and to be honest, I wouldn’t have cared if Sam had died in vain with his plan. All I’ve wanted is to visit King Kai.

Simply the sooner this saga is done the better, that way we can move on and hopefully have the next one run better and without all the drama.

@CaptainSully

How does that not count as extreme meta-gaming? You're lucky I'm not running this show because I would punish that kind of shit by sending your ass straight to hell and denying you your precious King Kai training. Seriously, this supposed to be us telling a story, not some MMORPG where character builds decide everything!

DBZ: The Sagas of The Z Warrior

*throws up hands*

Alright, I've tried making sense out of this absolute clusterfuck of a fight scene and I just can't do it. There's just too many people fighting over the spotlight and the longer this drags on the less fun it becomes to take part.

EDIT: And for all my efforts I destroy a scouter and get kicked into a building before Sully basically decided to steal the kill. Yippee! Anyone else having a good time? I'm having an absolute blast being Raditz's bitch and accomplishing nothing.

DBZ: The Sagas of The Z Warrior

@Weird Tales I just wanted to thank you for changing your mind, and apologize for being so stubborn and abrasive when making my arguments. I must have sounded like a right ass from your perspective, and I'm sorry for that.

My response

That's all well and good, but that backstory just kills it for me. Like I said, he looks intimidating, his attacks are brutal and badass. You are right that he was given a lot of build up. But that backstory just... ugh... all that interest I had in him just instantly deflated. His only saving grace is that he is the one sole villain in Dragon Ball history that actually requires the "everyone dogpile him" strategy for him to be defeated, since that's pretty much how he was defeated in all of his appearances. I'm noticing a distinct lack of mentions of the third Broly movie, however. Not that I blame you, that movie was just... ugh.

But are you sure Goku actually wants to get stronger to protect people? Because starting with the Android Arc he starts making monumentally stupid decisions and from what I remember about the Buu Arc and what I've heard about Super... he never stops making stupid choices. I mean really, Goku, you're just going to risk letting humanity be wiped out by Androids because you want to train and fight them fair and square? You want to give CELL a sensu bean before forcing your pacifist son into a battle he has no actual interest in? You don't just use your Super Saiyan 3 form to instantly fuck Buu up because you're afraid of hurting Vegeta's feelings? Oh sure, you could just kill Frieza before he turns Golden and not even have to worry about him blowing the planet up, but no, let's let Frieza get away with this crap because as long as YOU get a good fight out of it, then nothing else matters, right? ...Oh dear, I'm ranting, aren't I? Sorry about that, Goku's personality and decisions tend to piss me off more often than not in the later series.
