You double-down on your time in the Gravity Chamber to catch up on all the time you missed out on while it was broken. While you make sure to share your time in it with others, you do NOT let up on improving yourself. You work as godsdamn hard as you can. You also help Chuu Lee improve, even getting her to work up to 2x Earth's Gravity, matching what you learned about Lapis and Lazuli's training, as well as helping direct her during construction work with the improved Tournament arena and stands. She makes leaps and bounds or progress, easily catching up to Lapis and Lazuli. By the end of October, right at your Birthday, you feel like you've really done about as much as you can in training, Power Level topping out at 10,280. You're still behind Goku, but you're clearly taking the #2 spot.

You decide that, with all the training you've done, you need a good test on how you've improved, and end up setting some time with Krillin to both catch up, perhaps spar, and definitely have your students test themselves out. Krillin, Lapis, and Lazuli all touch down in a little training area on the island you and the rest of the Turtle School Masters first started training. Gods, the memories...

"Looks like you've improved quite a bit, Maple." Krillin comments with a smile. His Power Level is at... 9780. Lapis and Lazuli are both at 640.

"You've done well on your own, Krillmaster." you say with a cheeky smirk. You introduce Chuu Lee to the other twins, Lapis and Lazuli giving a couple friendly greetings to her. They seem to have changed just a bit, personality-wise. Lapis is keeping up a bit more of a cool, collected air to himself, while Lazuli's gotten a bit more of a dry wit about her. Heh, though they still seem to look up to Krillin quite a bit, even if, well, the two of them are taller than him, now.

"Pleased to meet you." your student tells them with a bow.

>A. Krillin, how about we spar first, just to let them know how far they can get?

You crack your knuckles. "Ready to show them just how far they can go, Krillin?"

He laughs, and does a little stretch. "Let's not get too crazy. Just show them how they can take things up a notch, right?"

The two of you tap fists, then back up, taking your stances. You each count to three, then burst forth, locking fists and sending a small gust of air as a shockwave out. You quickly back up, dodging a few of Krillin's strikes, then going for a grab on his arm and flinging him to the ground. He recovers swiftly, then goes in for a roundhouse to your head. You block it with one hand, prepping a Geist Magnum with the other, landing a solid blow to Krillin's chest. Not enough to really hurt THAT bad, but enough that it gives him a reminder to pay attention. Krillin gets back up, bolting at you and managing to get a strike at your jaw, though you quickly counter into a pair of kicks to his gut, knocking him down.

"Hah! You keep getting better and better, Maple." he comments, jumping back up and bowing. "Well guys, how was that?"

To their credit, they were following all that as best as they could, but they seemed clearly impressed by your speeds and sheer strength. Lazuli gives him a thumb's up, Lapis nodding. Chuu Lee grind proudly at you.

"Chuu Lee, Lazuli, ready?" you question. The other redheaded girl nods enthusiastically, while the blonde girl steps forward calmly, taking her stance. Chuu Lee gives a bow and does the same.

"Ready?" Krillin asks. Both girls nod. "Begin!"

They dash at each other, swerving around. To her credit, Chuu Lee does fairly well keeping pace at first, matching Lazuli's movements and even landing a couple solid blows, but it's pretty clear that the blonde girl can take a hit even better, and throw one out harder than her opponent. A powerful kick to the gut sends the other redhead into the air, Lazuli taking to the sky and catching up with her, hammering your student into the ground. Chuu Lee recovers in time, and even manages to fire off a Geist Magnum of her own as Lazuli comes down after her, but the blonde girl dodges aside, cupping her hands together. The all-too familiar chant of a Kamehameha is heard, and soon the blue blast strikes your student hard, knocking her down to the ground.

Lapis seems to be watching them both carefully. "She's pretty good to be able to match my sister like that, though guess that wasn't enough."

"Think so?" Krillin asks.

"She hasn't been training for as long as we have, so guess it makes sense. Still, guess we'll have to be careful, especially with you training her, Maple." he says with a glance in your direction. "Good to have someone closer to us, though. And she's pretty cu-cool. Cool." His face becomes as expressionless as a stone.

...you gain a bit of a devilish grin.

Let's go easy on him this time. We're still getting teased about Goku.

>D. Girls, think that's enough for now
Chuu Lee's got a good foundation, but focusing more on healing and possibly some other magic seems more important than adding yet another fighter. Hell, we could even stand to shave off a couple of our current fighters and we'd still have plenty. We don't want to get bogged down with an enormous cast of fighters who all struggle to stay relevant.

>>42301489
>A. Don't even have to read your mind for that one

>>
>>42301615
I mean, as long as the character bloat is dealt with in other areas, I don't particularly mind who winds up being at the forefront.

>>42301623
And yeah, exactly. That was a constant problem in DBZ, and it would be better for us to avoid that. And, to Kato's credit, we have, so far. Everyone's still relevant, even if there still are definite "tiers" of how powerful everyone is (which is inevitable, really).

I hate to cite another Dragonball quest as an example here, but Human Quest has this problem to the point where I lost interest, among other reasons. By the end of the first "series", there were, what, twenty-odd characters who were all constantly fighting over screen time?

When Kaguya decided to go to space, and the thread got the choice of five people to come with him, they had like fifteen choices for who to bring. Obviously we're nowhere near that point here, but I'm just thinking in terms of what could happen if we don't at least keep that in mind at this stage.
>>
Suggest Krillin to go try for Raioken if we haven't.
>>
>>42301685
1st tier (aka DKP Vets)
Goku, Maple, Chi-Chi. Tien

2nd tier
Everyone else

3rd tier (Students)
Chuu Lee, Lazuli, Lapis

This about right?
>>
>>42301623

This is tuffle quest. Team work is key. Most of the tough fights recently have been against people who should have blown us out alone.

Shura, without the 3 people working together would have been rough or dead. He was at like 36k. Then Melee, Gola, Diavolo and Mark handled the mooks so fighting without distractions.

King Piccolo, we had Goku, Chi-Chi, Tein, Trip, Maple and Eigher supplied a surprise visit. Melee and Gola there provided some very important cleanup too.

Even King Vegeta, which was a smaller fight, still had 3 people for most of it, followed up by ending with a big bang with about 5 or 6 different people acting against him.

We can handle character bloat and also, not every enemy will be faced by the whole cast, it will rotate out. Besides there is a lot of injustice that deserves a punch in the face.

Maple alone cannot be everywhere. She she will rely on her friends to apply some punching too.
>>
>>42301685

I sure hope Launch makes it into the upper tiers later on. She was flat-out forgotten in DBZ, and didn't have a big role in the later portions of DB.
>>
>>42301754
>Maple alone cannot be everywhere.

Not yet, anyway.

Yardrat, here we come!
>>
>>42301807
Instantaneous Transmission is better and doesn't require a ki signature.
>>
>>42301829
Oh, so there are sick Yardrats laying about to put in the rice dish?
>>
>>42301741
Yeah, pretty much. Although Acer's probably up there with the vets, and if not, he and Krillin are close.

>>42301754
That's a distinction I meant to make, too, because you're absolutely right. As long as the cast stays relevant and are able to meaningfully contribute in their own ways (whether or not that means fighting directly), that's fine. Look at Trip, for an example of how someone can do zero fighting and still be extremely helpful.

To go back to Human Quest's problem in this regard, the distinction I meant to make is that when those fifteen or so characters were all lined up to be chosen to go to space, the five who were chosen were, for the most part, the only logical choices.

There's such a ludicrous power gap between the main five or six characters and everyone else that there was really no question. Kaguya, Videl, and Kaguya's OC friends are all so much more powerful than anyone who isn't Gohan or Cell Junior that the others may as well not even be in the quest at all. It's a quest with an enormous cast of characters, but only a small handful actually do anything. That's what we need to avoid.

>>42301795
She's up there, just not on the same level as the strongest fighters. Kato's Launch is rad, though, so I hope she at least sticks around and stays relevant.
>>
>>42301829
It's kinda strange Beerus and Whis don't use it.

"Don't even need to read your mind for that one." you say teasingly.

"Matchmaker Maple, not right now, please." Krillin comments. "Unless you want someone else to join in on the monkey teasing."

Lapis mouthes a 'thank you' t his master, to your amusement.

Still ...he's got you there. You just stick your tongue out playfully, then turn to the other students. "You girls seem to know where you both stand, but you two feel like continuing?"

Lazuli does a few stretches, then helps Chuu Lee up. The blonde girl gives a nod towards you, indicating she's ready for more, but waiting to see if the redhead wants to continue. While she considers it, she shakes her head. "I'm good. Still need to catch up in some other areas, I guess."

"Too bad, was looking on having someone who could put up a better fight than my brother." she says a little playfully, giving Lapis a look. Oh that is definitely a 'teasing sibling in order to get them to improve' look. You know it well. "You seemed to be holding back a bit, though."

"So did you." she returns with a playful smile.

"So Krillin, how about it, any special lessons for today?" you question.

"Actually, first I'd like to take you all to East City for some lunch. My treat." your bald friend replies. "Not good to train on an empty stomach!"

>A. Sure, but why there?
>B. Nah, let's wait on that

Well, you need to be able to lock on to Ki signatures to transport. That's really difficult if you haven't been to a place before.

Or Toriyama forgot how hax it could be to IT from Earth to Otherworld.
>>
>>42301911
>IT from Earth to Otherworld.


Which Goku did in canon.
>>
>>42301911
There's the version that Kibito/Kibito Kai uses that explicitly does not need a Ki signature to lock on to.

Maybe the Supreme Kais specifically hid it from Beerus so he doesn't teleport around blowing up planets.
>>
>>42301911
Figured it was because Whis seems like the sort to enjoy the scenic route to be honest. Also, as a way to ensure Beerus has patience enough to appreciate something properly before he decides if it explodes or not.
>>
>>42301741
>>42301861
I can go more into detail in a bit on this, but most "main" fighters are a bit closer than you'd think. Even with that, there are still characters on the "support" side of things that are still relevant in their own ways, like Bulma.
>>
>>42301872
>>A. Sure, but why there?
>>
>>42301966
Yeah everyone is pretty much 9k+ aren't they?
>>
>>42301966
That's really good to hear, actually. I still feel the need to write up a tier list based on my perceptions, though. Because I like to hear myself talk

The difference between tiers 1 and 2 are quite small, based both on what we've seen and what Kato just said, so I'm thinking it's something like this:

Tier 1
Goku
Maple
Chi-Chi
Tien

Tier 2
Acer
Krillin
Launch
Yamcha

Tier 3
Roshi
Chaotzu
Lazuli
Lapis
Chuu Lee
>>
>>42302022

Heh, Krillin's getting to be quite a cool teacher. "Sure, but why there?"

"Heh... call it a bit of nostalgia. Just sort of realizing how far I've come... how far we all have come." he replies, looking out into the ocean. "You know what I mean, right Maple?"

You grin at him. "Yeah. You're not the only one, believe me. Even Goku felt a little... well, call it homesick, call it nostalgic, but he felt it too." You look out at the ocean as well. "It's been a long road, a long journey, and it's not over yet, but... feels appropriate to start reflecting just a little bit, you know?"

"Mhmm." He takes to the air, his students following with. You and Chuu Lee follow with, the redhead sticking close to you. The two of you chat a little on the way, you giving her some pointers and corrections on what she did, and how she can improve. You all touch down just outside, Lazuli really enjoying the sights, while Lapis seems to be a bit more ambivalent.

"Eh, city air's never really been my style. Prefer the nice, open outdoors, lot of nature and stuff."

"Ah, really? I live near Mount Rumble with my mom." Chuu Lee mentions to him. You smile wide as the two start chatting.

"Maple, no."

"Didn't say anything."

"Your face did." Krillin grumbles. He then takes you to a little restaurant, a place he seems familiar with. You all order some food, and chat for a while, when an annoying voice interrupts your meal.

"Well well well, if it isn't crybaby Krillin come back home." a man in yellow and orange robes comments, walking in with some others. Orin Temple students.

>A. ...just ignore them
>B. You guys DO know who "crybaby" Krillin has become, right?

Oh hell no. Oh HELL no. You turn to them, adjusting your hat and giving a glare. "You guys DO know who 'crybaby' Krillin has become, right? Has more to show for his training than I recall you folks doing."

They stop, staring at you in disbelief. Guess the hat didn't give you away for once. Krillin smiles, but shakes his head. "Not worth it."

"Eh... fine." you grumble, still glaring at them. You make a little jump and the monks all shout in panic, stumbling over themselves. "That place still hasn't cleaned up its act? Does 'Orin' translate to 'Jackass' in some obscure language I haven't heard of?"

"Guess not, and... well, probably best to not think on it." he replies with a bit of a sigh.

"Were those... those monk bullies you told us about before?" Lazuli asks, sipping on her soda.

Krillin nods. "Recognized those voices. They won't bother us any, don't worry."

"You know, Krillin, Yamcha, brobro, and I have done some more... unique training, from time to time. Might be good to try the same with your students, as a little treat. Helps with creativity, thinking outside the box." You telepathically give him the details and Krillin grows intrigued. "I'll have to think about that some time." While Lapis and Lazuli seem to be curious about what you mean, they decide to not prod. You all finish your meal, and then do a bit of exploring on your own. Not 40 minutes later, a low rumble can be heard, followed by an explosion and a spike in someone's Ki. Not... a familiar signal, but higher than you'd expect from someone around these parts. Krillin grits his teeth.

"That... came from Orin Temple. Something's up."

Thread was great. Looking forward to the next one.

What's gonna happen to Shura now that the rightful Demon King is back and a whole lot stronger than anyone else (excluding some dudes in Otherworld)?
>>
>>42302451
Tons of fun, Kato. Thanks for running again.

Although, question: Between "major" events, are we taking time to go out with Goku some more, or has that not really been possible yet?

And actually, are we even officially dating at this point? Goku hasn't really returned our affection to the same degree yet, even though he clearly feels that way about us.

What I'm saying is our first real kiss with Goku is something I'm looking forward to. The spaghetti-dropping potential for both of us is going to be adorable.

Thanks for playing! Shura got his ass kicked good, and I kinda liked y'all focusing on the teamwork aspect of it and being tactical about it. Very smart. Of course, the dice were also in your favor, and in brobro's favor, for once. Red Comet got some time to shine.

Shura's going to be imprisoned, and a lot of the changes he made in the last few hundred years are going to be reversed. Note that Beelzebub is about 3000 years old at this point. His Power Level is 490 million.

As for the sword, it's not as strong, comparatively, as Acer's blade, but it's going to be even easier to channel Ki and magic into. It's fairly strong and has a good edge to it, decent slashing power. Something Yajirobe can really give you some good pointers on.

And as for spending more "personal" time with Goku, well, we'll see. Maybe something before the Tournament, maybe something after. While he "sort of" knows what dating is, he's not really sure himself if you two are a "couple." He cares for you, and trusts you, but this is ALL still new for him. Braving the needle was one thing that he had to really muster up strength for, but he got through it because of... and kind of "for" you?

...yeah pretty much just those three are my main ones, everything else got taken care of this thread.

I guess sword training and telepathy block if we have time.
>>
>>42302679
>Goku stuff
That all makes sense. Like the other anon said, I'm expecting the tournament to be a turning point for our relationship with him. I'm glad things are being taken gradually, too. It's a more realistic take on things, given this is Goku we're talking about.

Well, the tiers are pretty much the same as our levels, right? Maybe give them letter grades based on how close they are to reaching the next level?

>>42302810

What about making it so Bits could feed into other beam attacks? Like what Krillin and Chiaotzu tried in the Mifan Tournament. Maybe unload all the shots into a kamehameha or something for some serious shit, or into a Galvanic Phantasm after launching it to get it even stronger.

The problem is how the scenes are executed.

Aside from being insanely fucking fun, the scenes have an underlying weight.

With Armstrong Raiden gets to come to grips, truly with who he is.

With Sam Raiden understands his place in the world.

With Monsoon Raiden is forced to admit to his true nature.

And with the metal gears. Well, shit, that shit is so fucking awesome. (Although the first one forces Raiden to understand he isn't as strong as he thinks he is. Drops a metal gear and immediately after gets fucking de-limbed after failing to do his job and save the PM.)

Lots of shit going on, mang. I don't think we'll have that level of retrospect going on.
>>
>>42302848
Hey at least one of those things could happen. We could find a villain whose ideology clashes so much with ours that we just have to suplex him.

No, we haven't, certainly not in the same depth.

We've had the "Oh, this is me" or "oh, I get this now" moments.

It's not the same.

Then again, trying to compare characters who are nothing alike makes for a bad time.

Functionally, "top tier" is everyone who's hit 10k+.
Goku, you, Tien, and Brobro

Then come the folks right at the threshold of 10k, who can probably hit it before the Tournament.
Chi-chi, Krillin, Yamcha, and Launch

Next is the ones between that, who are fairly strong on their own in some ways but have other ways of keeping up
Trip and Chiaotzu (Melee and Gola were here until they returned to the Demon Realm, both at about 5k, Godzilla and Gamera are up here too, at above that)

Next are the ones that are still pretty strong, especially by Dragon Ball standards, but not quite at "Raditz curbstomp" tier
Roshi (though he could probably beat Raditz if he tried hard enough), Lapis, Lazuli, Chuu Lee and Baragon

And then there're the other supporters, who can do their own things to help out in certain ways
Bulma, Oolong, and Puar (I sort of have some plans for those two)

Last but actually not least, are your camels. They're strong and... "clever" enough to surprise many foes. They better watch out if they don't want to end up being made fools of. Such a good deal.

That about covers it
>>
>>42302980
No, he's right. Also, we don't want to be like Raiden, anyway. He's not a good person.
>>
>>42302992
He saves the kids and kills the bad guys, if he's not good, then by that logic every video game protagonist isn't a good person

7 more months before the tournament?

It's October now and the tournament is in May right?
>>
>>42302980
A giant pirate robot is not the same fucking thing as a metal gear, you take that back!

And we had "forced" introspection. Having a dream sequence is not the same thing.

It's a -very- specific thing that I am talking about, and though there are things that are like it that we have done, we have not done what I have in mind.

Note that I am not complaining about it, I am lamenting over it, I know we won't be in the same circumstances, it's impossible, and it saddens me that we will never experience the same impact of those situations.
>>
>>42302983

Could Maple do Raioken x3 and improve mastery of kaio ken, perhaps in n3xt training.

On the great ape form. Is that just a boost to power with no speed lost, or do they get a speed boost too?
>>
>>42302998
There's a lot more to him than saving kids and killing badguys, and by the end of the game, he's definitely not one of the goodguys.

But, in the interest of not shitting up the thread with a debate about a completely unrelated series, I'll drop it now.

Wow, it's almost funny how little you pay attention to detail. Remember that time we went to get the Divine Water? And also, the giant robot battlesuit we fought in the second thread?
>>
>>42303014
About that, yeah. Yamcha might be absent. Mark too.

>>42303022
Raio-ken is a bit different in that regard. It has higher stages, but they require much higher leaps in PL to maintain.

Great Ape needs training to be able to utilize properly, but once done they don't lose all that much speed compared to their increase in strength and size. They're fast for beings so large.
>>
>>42303069
Again, the Ultra Divine Water is forced introspection, since the ENTIRE POINT of the struggle to get it is about confronting the self. It's not the character coming to conclusions on their own, it's the character being forced to do so.

And again, a metal gear is a very specific piece of machinery, and your average -insert giant machine here- doesn't fit under it.

There are both manned and unmanned metal gears, a gundam is not a metal gear, a giant mech isn't a metal gear, a supermassive drone isn't a metal gear.

That's like saying He-Man is the same as Flash Gordon.

Both are manly heroes, that's good enough, right?
>>
>>42303105
Okay, so we're fighting things better than Metal Gears and having life-or-death introspections is what you're saying?
>>
>>42303124
Man, Maple's so much cooler than Raiden.
>>
>>42303124
Nope, because metal gears are far better than any mechanical foe in DB or DBZ.

And you just refuse to see my point.

You equate that "X shares trait with Y, thus X=Y" and that is false.

>>42303147
Hey, don't be salty just because we're better than Metal Gear, it's not our fault.

>>42303147
See, we've already outgrown what you want, and have done things of similar caliber ten times more impressive than what you want.
>>
>>42303182
You wanted shit to happen that happened in Metal Gear, and I'm saying that that's shit's pretty much already happened if you just pay attention to what's happened.
>>
>>42303163
This needs to be answered
>>
>>42303185
Yes I understand that Maple as a character has grown past all of this, and you can't compare the accolades of characters from different genres, of different levels of fantasy, and different levels of power.

When you can blow up a planet wholesale with lasers from your hands, it's not exactly competition to compare to someone who swings a sword.

Even so, cross-genre and cross-series comparisons never hold any water, because they never match up well enough to do so.

>>42303195
And I'm saying it hasn't, because it hasn't.

Again, similar=/=same.

You're just being angry because you're arguing with me, and I am not agreeing with you.

It's not like they are shitting up the thread, thread's done.

Sure, they may be arguing, but it's not like they are calling eachother niggerfaggots that deserve to be burned at the stake or anything.

Personally I'd prefer to read this to waifuposting, at least this one has a guy who is sticking by his opinion and trying to slug it out instead of just saying "a shit" to everything.

>>42303308
I don't know what argument you read but I read something barely a step away from "x a shit"
>>
So if Majins and Demon Gods are considered the same thing in this quest, that means there are 3 of them that we know of:

-Hirudegarn
-Buu
-Demigra

I wonder if there's more out there.
>>
>>42307338
When did Maple hear about Buu?

I think SKoT said something about Demigra, though I may be mistaken, and Beelz spoke of Hirudegarn, but I don't recall anyone telling Maple about Buu.
>>
>>42307670
I don't think he meant Maple. Just what us the players know.
>>
>>42303256
>>42303346
>>42304902
Something funny, maybe. If you're good.

>>42303308
Is it really needed, though?

>>42304620
Eat your vegetables.

>>42307338
>>42307670
>>42307680
A bit of a reference to Xenoverse in that part. The "Majin" (魔神) Demigra tries to title himself with actually uses different Kanji then the "Majin" (魔人) of Buu and his kind. Translation didn't always correct this or make it clear what the differences of each were, though for purposes of the quest... well, there might be a reason why the two have similar names. Maple doesn't know anything about the other kind of Majin, but she would recognize the first Kanji (魔) in either's name.

Hirudegarn is also a Demon God, and though not as powerful as Demigra is powerful and dangerous enough to pose a threat to the universe and the Demon Realm's continued existence. Don't let Towa near him.
>>
>>42308011
>Don't let Towa near him

How strong is our Towa? Its going to be awhile until we can actually stop her from doing things.
>>
>>42308011
>Don't let Towa near him
Does she have a plan for evacuating the universe or sticking around minutes after blowing it up to create a new one?
>>
>>42308082
Towa's Power Level is 375 million. A step below Cooler at full strength in terms of raw power, but more than enough to take on 3 Freezas at once and kick all their asses. This all said, she probably won't be able to find Hirudegarn before y'all are well above her strength in some regard. Especially Goku and any Saiyans or potential Super Namekians on your team. Still, you have ways of shutting down her magic and throwing a monkey wrench in her schemes even now.

>>42308085
She might.
>>
>>42303085
>About that, yeah. Yamcha might be absent. Mark too.

Oh snap, NotLucca and Videl on their way.
>>
>>42308268
So 10,280 is about the cap for us until after the tournament?

Time to focus on enhancing and coming up with new techniques with the months we still have left?
>>
>>42308271
Videl will have her canon birthday of May 8th. Bulma and Yamcha's child will possibly be born then, or before. Probably going to go with Panti or Pantea for her name, to keep both her parents' name puns in.

>>42308373
You'll get marginally stronger up to then, and perhaps even make 11k if you throw on weighted training clothes for a while, but that's about as high as you can go. Goku's maximum at the Tournament will be 13k in base, perhaps a dip below that.

Spirit Bits are probably one thing that I see y'all prioritizing, especially with the potential for a new mode for them all. Tien has two techniques it'd be useful to Equivalent Exchange for, especially with the Raio-ken. Might even come up with a new Ultimate too.
>>
>>42308610
>Tien has two techniques it'd be useful to Equivalent Exchange for

Which ones again? My memory isn't the best when it comes to Tien's moves. All I remember is Dodon, tribeam, Volleyball, and Multiform.


Also its kind of a pain since we know ALOT of shit but would you mind throwing up a character sheet sometime for Maple. Its good to know all of our options in case people forget.

Here's a question: any characters y'all want to interact with a bit more? I have something set up for Launch, as well as another thing you might be able to bring a few people along with, but it'd be good to know.

Maybe Jaco sooner or later, though we're probably gonna get to the space exploration part when Z rolls around.

Well we had Krillin this thread, and you got something for Launch soon.

I suppose Tien, though if this discussion tells us anything we'll be seeing him soon for some Equivalent Exchange.
>>
>>42309007
Aside from Goku? I'd like to spend some more time with Trip, both in a learning capacity and just getting to know her a bit better. She could be a rad older sister figure for us, and we'd probably be looking for one of those. Bulma's great and all, but she doesn't have the sort of matronly maturity that Trip does. Plus, she can always teach us more stuff.
>>
>>42309007
Is there a pastebin for this stuff, because I didn't know Maple had four of the eight-fold path thingies
>>
>>42309007
I'd kinda like to drop in on some of the fighters that are competiton only, like Chappa. In some part, I feel Chappa's style would complement Maple's skills incredibly well at this point. Or Baba and her crew, since we seem to not see them often and they are family. More just to hang out with people, maybe learn strange things like does Manwolf transform because of a curse or is it just what Manwolf does.
>>
>>42309113
Jaco probably won't be back for a while, though Galactic Patrol will be keeping a more careful watch on Earth. Just before or at "Z" will be a likely place.

>>42309132
Tien will definitely be an option, coming up.

>>42309151
If you take up a certain offer from Kami regarding the Pendulum Room, Trip will definitely be coming with. It's something related to the Earth's history. And the Dragon Balls.

>>42309156
The fourth was a recent acquisition, just before Bulma's wedding. I might throw together a Pastebin some time before the Tournament starts.

>>42309170
That'd be pretty smart. Chappa's been working hard.

Visiting Baba's crew again would also be pretty nice. Spike and Fangs kinda like you the most out of all of them, Spike because he has quite a good deal of respect for you and Fangs for much the same AND because you've kicked Lucifer's ass twice in a row. Undine likes you and brobro quite a bit too.

>If you take up a certain offer from Kami regarding the Pendulum Room, Trip will definitely be coming with. It's something related to the Earth's history. And the Dragon Balls.

More Krillin! We should bring up teaching at our very own school with him.
>>
>>42309381
I dunno. I feel like 1 or 2 pupils, very hands on style of teaching like we've been doing with Chuu Lee fits Maple better than managing a whole school.

>>42309367
Might have some neat things to learn from there, too.

It would probably be best to keep any pool of students fairly small. 1 - 2, 3 at most.

So yeah time to mix it up.

I'm workin' on one right now.
>>
>>42312932
We're probably going to grab Machine Punch from Tien to use in conjunction with Raio-ken.

Throw some lightning on it and we got a good fast melee combo with a stun effect that we can capitalize on afterwards. Probably with our high damaging ki attacks like Phantom Shotgun.

Okay, I call this Acer's Fury Combo:
>Strash: Drive A (Ranged) + Strash: Drive B (Melee)
>Kaioken
>Ki Attack
>Telekinetic Grip on Opponent
>Impaling thrust x 2
>Upwards slice
>Parry, thrust
>Strash: Drive B
>Ki Attack
>Strash: Drive BLAZIN' (Melee, Elemental)
>Hot-Iron Strike (Melts through armor that's aflame with ki-infused magic)
>Upwards slice
>Parryin', thrustin'
>Strash: Drive B
>Kaioken
>Ki Attack

It's a combo that Jedi Knights use in TOR

Anon thats like an entire fight's worth of moves. The DC on that would be like 20 or something.
>>
>>42313374
Or several rolls, with each success being that much more devastating. Anyway, it'd be hard to telegraph his moves or give his opponent's breathing space to guess at his moves if he's always moving, I figure.
>>
>>42313305
>>42313374
>>42313417
You'd need to cut that into thirds or even quarters to get that manageable enough. Especially against any opponents of near-equal or greater strength/skill. On a lesser opponent it's overkill and more flash than really needed.
>>
>>42313521
Why? A Kaioken lasts about half a minute, no?
>>
>>42313549
Because one slip up in that huge combo and it all goes to shit. And you know with opponents like Jr. they'll find a way to counterattack.
>>
>>42313558
Okay, so say the combo has a bunch of DCs for all the things and they're all high, if the first one in the sequence gets passed, the next step's DC drops down by 1, and if that one's passed, the next step's DC drops down by 1, and so on. Then, Acer uses his foresight to stop the combo after failing once, and the DCs on using it again all ramp up by like, 2
>>
>>42313549
>>42313558
Jr. is exactly the kind of person that such a long combo would have trouble against. He and Kami do sort of have a quick-firing technique that's good against throwing off opponents in melee range. Jr's is even stronger than Kami's, too.

Goku and Trip have learned it too.
>>
>>42313692
Well, duh, of course it's not going to be used on Piccolo Jr., swords aren't allowed in the World Tournament. Duhhhhhh

>>
>>42313873
Anon Strash is hugely popular in that version.
>>
>>42313692
So the combo would need Telepathy training to keep it unexpected?
>>
>>42303245
throw me under the bus, why don't ya

maybe, at some point
>>
>>42314004
Its not about foresight. Skilled fighters can and will get themselves out of combos.

Its not like we are playing a fighting game where you just hit confirm and then lock your opponent in a combo as long as you yourself don't drop it.
>>
>>42313558
>>42314065
Eh, it's just something to open a fight up with, really.
>>
>>42314065
That's what Acer's foresight, telekinesis, and offhand is for, preventing the enemy from interrupting him.
>>
>>42314085
Yeah, it's like one of those gambits in FFXII almost.
>>
>>42314169
The finisher combo is huuuuge
>>
>>42314169
Maybe we have something to work with if we take these divided cycles and have them as combos.
>>
>>42313692
Can Samma Vaca take away Kaioken's buffing?
>>
>>42314389
Vaca works only on Demonic Ki or to a lesser extent Evil characters.

So like if Frieza used the Kaio-ken it wouldn't get rid of the buff but it would lower his base PL which overall makes him weaker.
>>
>>42314428
But isn't Kaioken falsifying a person's true power?
>>
>>42314469
>falsifying
Huh? Elaborate on that.
>>
>>42314486
Yeah, Samma Vaca works by correcting something to the way it's supposed to be, so a person using Kaioken, getting Ki from space heaven or whatever, would stop getting all that Ki.
>>
>>42313763
Point stands.

>>42313832
Any ability like it would be detrimental to any long combo attacks, Especially if an opponent isn't exhausted and still has some Ki left.

>>42314004
>>42314065
>>42314085
>>42314128
>>42314169
>>42314186
I'll put it this way: it's better to have smaller, more manageable chunks of combos than trying to pull off a long list of techniques all in one go. You use less energy and stamina, can react better or follow through with a different set of attacks.

Trying to do something like >>42313305 all in one go will take a lot more energy and stamina, give the opponent more opportunities to counter, and would honestly be better if just split into thirds or quarters of what all those actions are. The risk of failure becomes much higher when trying to pull it off, too.

>>42314389
>>42314469
Pretty much what >>42314428 said. The Kaio-ken is a tranquil surge of your own Ki that momentarily "overclocks" your abilities to x2, x3, however high you take it. It's not Demonic or anything even close to it.

>>42314062
Sorry Chuckles, don't have to if you don't want.
>>
>>42314520
>I'll put it this way: it's better to have smaller, more manageable chunks of combos than trying to pull off a long list of techniques all in one go. You use less energy and stamina, can react better or follow through with a different set of attacks.

Babidi actually might arrive slightly sooner or later than he did in canon, but the best bet will be him arriving around a Tournament. Any kids you or brobro or anyone else have will possibly be in their early teens by then, Mark's kid and Bulma and Yamcha's kid being the oldest, at 18.

Other than that, the Makyo Star will make its approach to Earth on schedule but something might happen to Garlic Jr. before then, so that miniarc might not happen at all.

>>42315008
Exactly. Not that he won't try his hardest, though. It was actually pretty smart telling him to hold onto it, and managed to be appropriate, too.

Still, any Makyans loyal to him or his goals will be fairly strong, Power Levels in the high hundred thousands up to a million, perhaps more. Watch out for that.

Just as a warning, Destron Gas isn't exactly the kind of material you want to be caught messing with. Especially if you want to stay on the good side of King Yemma.

>>42316060

Seem Nuova's all we're getting.
>>
>>42316826
I was thinking of using it for dead fighter power copying like Raichi did in the games instead of outright summoning evil clones. But mainly it (combined with Hatchiyak) is just a literal hate machine that clones things and seals ki.
>>
>>42318689
The issue is that regardless of your intentions you are still making the dead fight for you which is a big no no.

Besides we can fight our own battles.
>>
>>42318689
And speaking of clones, is Ozotto ever going to be remembered by anyone ever? His main power was turning into green versions of the Z-Fighters and he only had one original (and really powerful) move that was this rainbow ball thing.
He's not that notable. since he's only the final boss of a fighting game but still, he's not even in Heroes.
>>
>>42318689
Still, Destron Gas seems a lot like the siphons Piccolo was using to steal life energy and empower himself. Sometimes the best use for something is finding a way to reverse the effects or negate them, anon, since it is too corrupting to use.
>>
>>42318984

Bulma did it damn fast in the movie, it'll be even faster with us helping her and we might have some knowledge about Destron Gas from our implanted memories.

Maybe, her and Krillin were getting all 'reflecting on the past' there last thread and Goku did it earlier.

Not sure how you'd do it in quest. I don't see Maple going out of her way to find out that specific 'What if'. She'd wonder but not focus any time on it if you ask me.

Hirudegarn and Demigra are a different kind of "Majin," more specifically "Demon Gods." Buu and Ozotto are a different sort from them. Think, the difference between Supreme Kais and the other Kais, or beings like them. Buu is one of the stronger kinds of the secondary Majins, with power on par with Hirudegarn, both in raw strength and in ability. Hirudegarn edges out on that slightly. Demigra is exceptionally strong, not quite on the same tier as someone like Beerus or Super Saiyan God Goku, but easily a match for the Shadow Dragons, especially due to his abilities.

>>42319165
That's a fair assumption. Just something to think on, then.

>>42319137
Would be possible, Baba might also be able to tell something.

>>
>>42319101
There's a few Majins, but he and Buu stand out the most. If he's going to be delayed/ be revived at the time of Buu Saga, a fusion of Ozotto and Buu would be crazy. Shapeshifting and polymorphing! Plus that might mean Buuzotto could use super forms and Kaioken... crap, this guy needs to fight Mira.

I thought SSJ was just a 50x multiplier of base. Unless I'm dumb which is very possible.

Nah, base is more like, a 1/50 of what they're capable of.
>>
>>42319757
I dunno man, base GT Goku was a fucking monster.
>>
>>42319668
Base. I will say this: Zenkai starts giving some diminishing returns once Saiyans hit the millions, though it can help them draw out a different kind of power once they get there. They still have to start getting major gains the old fashioned way while there, though. Hence why Goku and Vegeta keep training all the time.

>>42319685
It isn't TOO big a boost, though if they're drawing upon a different form (say, Oozaru), there's potential for a slightly greater than normal Zenkai.

>>42319704
>>42319757
It's sort of both. I can probably go into detail a bit more later, but I'll say that the x50 boost isn't as strict a thing as it seems. The power still is there even when not transformed, and can be drawn upon without completely transforming, slightly, but controlling it all at once takes a lot of time and effort. Emotional state and mastery/control of it also affects things.

But man its ridiculous before the millions. Fucking Goku goes from 90,000 fighting Ginyu to 3 million fighting Freeza in one healing session.

Though to be fair everybody just catching up to Freeza was extremely wonky. Like Piccolo. I think thats the moment Toriyama knew he wrote himself into a corner with powerlevels.

There might be some things to steal from GT. At the very least, there won't be something AS dumb as the whole Super 17 arc, unless y'all suddenly get lobotomized somehow. (Energy attacks don't work? LET'S USE MORE!)

Shadow Dragons might be a thing. Beerus will probably be a thing. But more to the point, there might be some planets and such to steal from the earlier parts of GT. Maybe.

>>42321939
What do you mean? All three of them will probably show up.
>>
>>42321957
Yeah, but Turles doesn't make any sense

What if, Vegeta leads the Crusher Corps instead?
>>
>>42321986
>Yeah, but Turles doesn't make any sense

I'm hazy on Tree of Might, why doesn't he make sense? Cause he looks like Goku?
>>
Is there going to be a thread tomorrow?
>>
>>42322006
Yup.
>>
>>42321986
Well, if you support the theory that the Plant Guardian removed the wickedness from Yazai to form the Saiyan God and that wickedness became Turles and Yazai eventually became Goku,

Yep, just got confirmed.

Super coincidence?

You know, I just want Carl to be the true final boss.

In some universe, you know he is.

He breaks out of his own dimension and starts killing other Carls like in that movie with Jet Li "the one" or whatever. Each time one dies, the rest grow stronger, so he is killing them all to become the ultimate warrior.

Remember when Goturtle's estranged father, Barturtle showed up? Such a touching reunion, filled with curbstomping of Cell.

We'll see, but most likely not.

Yes, apologies, thought I'd posted that hours ago.

Prrrrobably not, though that'd be a hell of a thing. Supreme Kai of Time would get extremely mad at anyone doing that.

>>42322251
Indeed.

>>42322286
Man I was there for it, of course I'd know.

Bit of a question, before this falls off: as a reference for an older Chuu Lee... pic related work well enough for you guys? At least for the next Tournament.

Works well. I was wondering how long it would take til you had to stop using the >>42301278
pictures.

>>42322472
Prefer the first one personally. Thats not bad either though.

As long as she doesn't turn into a boy when hit with water.

I'm okay with a ranma look-alike.

Maybe YOU prefer that

I'd been thinking on it for a bit, but wasn't quite sure. If y'all are fine for it as a point of reference, I'll stick with it.

>>42322564
Hah, of course not. Won't be taking too many references to Ranma with her, just a bit of a character reference I felt kinda fit. Couldn't have her looking like a little girl forever.

>>42322664
Lapis has good taste.

Hah. We'll see how that ends up playing out.

Indeed. Another reason I ended up asking on this: it might have some things I can use.

Hey, did Tien and Launch ever learn a technique like Happo 5 Yen Satsu?

>>42322916
Hah! Should have expected that.

No, neither have come up with such a technique.

Poor supreme Kai of time. She just knows that trying to triage whatever happens in this timeline will be headache inducing.

She will likely end up just enlisting the few people here due to reasons and try to not screw shit up.

Who knows what may be locked in End Time.

There are at least 9 different Dragon Quest Demon Kings that Kato can have sealed somewhere.

Towa has enough material to keep refining the energy she will drain from Maple and Friends.

Be interesting if there is a tech to change the energy drained so that it causes a negative backlash when fed to something.
