Watch Battle of Gods instead.

I remember you said the same if Smash Bros. Ultimate was revealed in the direct.
It was.

I also said if Xenoblade 2 were to come out in 2017 without delay. And it did.

I never said I make smart bets.

You also exposed me through your tabs a while back, so I did the same by remembering.
Life is an anime.

Saitama can beat the DBZ canon.
I mean, one fully charged punch = one death.

Do not use the "it is a gag" argument either.

You can't One Punch what you're not fast enough to hit.

The thing is, he can read you. Like if a super fast entity came in, he can punch it right away through reading it.

 

[ChikoLad]

It’s free cause noone wants to watch the battle of the gods

This thread continues to worsen my trust issues.

Spoiler

For the record, I have actually watched Battle of the Gods.

 

[Deleted member]

Saitama can beat Goku.
Sorry guys.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I haven't watched any Dragon Ball since Toonami played the Buu Saga.

I think praline meant the Super version of BoG.

Yeah I did lol

I know, I just can't resist an opportunity to make that joke.

I am curious on the general reception of Super though. I thought people generally liked it aside from some sloppy animation in the first few episodes and it starting off as a re-run of the movies?

Nah, son, there's literally an entire arc in Super about how Goku's reactions have gotten so fast he's basically responding to punches before the person throwing them has even decided to throw one.

Well I heard he is practially invincible. He can withstand almost any force given to him.

+Was it not the motto that Saitama was too powerful for his own good, like he can beat everything?

This news on Retro studios is sad to hear. The Prime trilogy is a huge part of my life as a gamer, with Metroid Prime being my favourite video game of all time.

I hope things work out and we see a new project from them soon but if things are really so bad, then sometimes the best course of action my be the worst case scenario.

Although the studio hasn't exactly been the same since they stopped working on Metroid, aside from just developing games for other franchises like DKC, a lot fo the original staff no longer work there and even the development on the Prime games have been pretty rocky, despite how good those games became.

I enjoyed it, it’s better if you just skip past Resurrection of f though.

 

[Substitution]

I mean again, this is all taking into consideration this is legitimate.
Like at the very least I want to wait until more information comes out. This is still relatively new to us so at this point I want to learn more before giving an exact conclusion.

 

[vaanrose]

If Nintendo would open up a game studio on the West Coast, they'd attract so many talented game designers. It boggles my mind that Retro is the only first-party studio in the entire country and it's in Texas, of all places.

I am sorry if I upset you, but he was designed to beat everything, even Goku. That was the purpose of his show.

You've done it.

Explain your logic, please, go ahead, do it, explain how a OHK works my dude

The purpose of Goku is that he can beat everything. He's now the strongest being in the multi-verse, lol.

I recall he lost sometimes. Am I wrong?

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

[Opossum]

If Goku is so great, why haven't they made Goku 2?

 

[vaanrose]

I recall he lost sometimes. Am I wrong?

Yeah, but that was before he gained the ability to dodge everything, lol. That's literally what his last transformation was, the dodge-everything-without-trying transformation.

I surrender. You win.
GG.

Can't people just accept Saitama would beat literally every character in existence with the sole exceptions of Merlinus and Bugs Bunny?

 

[vaanrose]

Never surrender. Only Yamchas do that.

I don't know man, did you see CEO?
Go1 got his ass kicked by a Yamcha.

Spoiler: Arigarmy awakes from his VSD slumber

One Punch Man is a deconstruction manga about the superhero tropes, notably being too powerful. Of course, Saitama is too powerful even in his own verse, but does that means he's a nigh-unstoppable invincible character? **** no. The strongest we've seen One Punch Man (as a verse) reach was on a planetary level via ONE's statements about Saitama. It doesn't mean it's where his limit ends, just that he could do it. Definitely possible that he's stronger, but since we don't know how strong, he's just sitting at an at least type of level that destroys planets, along with Boros, Garou, and probably the newer antagonist God.

The farthest I can see Saitama go is the Saiyan and Namek saga before Frieza casually walks in and says "hello have you heard about our lord and savior uhhhh me" before whacking him to death.

Even weaker people in power can defeat Saitama by differing powers just because they ignore your own conventional durability. An example I hold to heart with this is Tusk, using its infinite energy to completely obliterate you and your soul from the inside-out. Or at least that's the tl;dr. But in power, the thing can barely bust a building.

Of course, people like Goku aren't invincible either, but saying Saitama destroys all of DBZ or just anyone in general because he was made to be strong is classified as a No-Limits Fallacy, which is like how ScrewAttack said Superman had no limit to power or how Ganondorf can't be killed with anything but the Master Sword. Though they did do the Hulk's theoretical infinite strength growth well as showing how its an NLF, only due to physical limits of the body.

The loss of Retro Studios would be a devastating one. Even if most of the Metroid Prime team have left, there still is a bunch of phenmounal talent on board if Donkey Kong Country Returns and Tropical Freeze are anything to go by.

The news should be taken with a grain of salt, of course. But the idea of Retro's inactivity being due to troubled development rather than an ambitious project being planted into my head, can't help but feel a little concered.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

But then he got stronger.

It's called character development.

 

[praline]

Yeah but he lost the ability to control it at the end of Super.

More like asspull development. I lost my mind when Goku Blanco became canon.

 

[Deleted member]

Never surrender. Only Yamchas do that.

WAIT. I know people said this, but they have a point.

DBZ's main point was not really for Goku to be the most powerful being in the entire universe. Like he can still lose and stuff like in DBZ fighters.

I know you got good evidence, and I already drowned from anime stuff.

Keywords BY THE RULES OF WRITING. It's not remotely accurate in a real sense, but in a plot sense it can if it was Saitama's story.

You also need to determine which Goku we're talking about, because you can split any fight by any specific arc or incarnation like how a lot of poeple bring the gajillion types of Superman.

First off, FighterZ isn't canon, iirc. Not to mention that even if it was, he was weakened to be at around Yamcha's level. So was everyone else but Beerus and 21.

Second, the "dodge-everything" form is like, the ultimate counter to Saitama. Can't land the one punch if the guy you fight against can instinctively avoid your every strike.

The Goku vs Saitama debate has now officially reached a situation known as a stalemate.

 

[praline]

Ah I see we are having a philosophical debate of the highest of caliber.

If you try to base the argument on the "rules of writing," you run into a different kind of stalemate, because based on those "rules of writing," Goku wins. That's Goku's thing. He wins.

Goku is the prototypical shounen protagonist, and every single fight he has ever been in has proceeded the same way. No matter the odds, no matter how much he gets his ass beat during or along the way, no matter what brand new powerup he needs to pull out of thin air to do it, in the end, he wins.

Saitama can move really fast and dodge too.
Plus he was designed to be the most powerful... so was Goku....
Yes I agree on a stalemate.

The closest Goku vs Saitama matchup, disregarding all plot elements as a lot of people like to use, would probably be at the beginning of the Android saga. Though that's just my opinion among all others. These debates are my life, I know my content.
