DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 - Tien Defeats Nappa with Chiaotzu Alive (Hard)

this fight is mainly a battle of attrition. nappa's attacks are easy to evade, but he can wipe out almost all your health instantly if he catches up to you, so one small mistake could cause you to lose. since your attacks do very little damage and he has a lot of HP, your main priority is just outlasting him. keep your distance and use ki attacks strategically to keep him from rushing you, do that for long enough and you win.

[@justinnoname2069]

i can imagine the tense you felt when he nearly depleted your health and dodged the last killing blows

[@thenewmase]

Even if we scale the rest of the Z fighters so that Tien is able to beat Nappa, they would still need Goku to beat Vegeta. But I can't deny it would be one hell of a an arc if we got to see them hold him back all together.

[@lightyoshiman]

there's actually a very old dbz game I think for the NES or famicom but it basically retells the sayian/namek arc however it is possible to change the story so different things happen in one instance if you raise goku's speed up a lot during his track back down snake way to get to the battlefield its actually possible for goku to arrive during the fight with the sibamen and as a result of this yamcha survives along with tien (piccolo being the only exception)

[@LastCryKris]

@@lightyoshiman wait which game is it?

[@customshepard7954]

Let's say Piccolo,Krillin,Gohan and Tien survived the encounter and find a way to beat Nappa, Vegeta would proceed to fight them 1v4 and they would be annihilated toyed with until Goku arrives if they survived that then they would be absolutely demolished Goku wouldn't have support against ozaru Vegeta except for Yairobe

[@thenewmase]

@@customshepard7954 don't think so, the z figthers have a knack for staying alive, specially considering vegeta wouldnt consider them that much of a threat

Honestly, from a storytelling perspective, it genuinely would've been fine if the crew had taken Nappa, only to be completely outclassed by Vegeta. At least then those still around actually being able to contribute to facing Vegeta would've actually seemed kinda plausible

[@jacobslater485]

Got an idea for you, was never able to beat Goku with Broly before he dipped out. Can you do it?

[@kantoorwolf1059]

Goku just dips out automatically when you get him down to 40,000 HP, so I don’t think it’s possible. If Broly had an attack that was capable of doing that much damage in one hit it would. Interestingly enough, the same thing happens with base form Cooler and Android 19, but base Goku’s Spirit Bomb is actually capable of landing a sufficient killing blow on them once you’ve charged it up enough, so they can indeed be defeated before they transform.

[@kantoorwolf1059]

Melee damage is so negligible here that the video would be over twice as long and a lot more tedious. You can see at parts like 4:34 that even with the max power endless combo it just slowly chips away at his HP. Nappa also has armor here which means most conventional combos don’t work and you just hit get in return (depleting your health near instantly). If you think you could do this without “spamming”, I recommend you go ahead and post a video of it; it’d surely be a very impressive feat.
