What If Cooler Fought Frieza On Namek? 

Can we just appreciate how Goku was actually gonna take Zarbon back to Earth with no questions asked?

Zarbons VA did not have to go that hard, but I'm so glad he did 😂

Obviously Zarbon got what was coming to him, but I can’t believe his panicking at the end actually made me feel bad for him. My man was legitimately out of options and hope.

27:45 Goku fresh off the ship was ~90,000 in power level (he only jumped to 3 mil after healing in the healing tank). Zarbon would _maybe_ be around mid - high 20,000s in his transformed state. 1st form Frieza sits at a power level of 530,000. Half of 1st form Frieza’s power is 265,000. So Goku and Zarbon are still getting pressed. _However,_ nothing is stopping Goku from popping Kaioken x10 and caving in Frieza’s skull.

Cooler got that “little bro need to let me hold on to them wishes.” energy.

Doto could have said ANYTHING, and I would have been at least SLIGHLTY prepared for it... but I was NOT prepared for the words "This is like Better Call Saul!" to leave his mouth lmaoo

yo why do i actually feel sad about zarbon death first was raditz and now zarbon?!?! THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS

*Goku beyond confused* *King Kai who is literally watching the whole thing and can talk to anyone anywhere* : Y'know what? Imma let this one play out...

Gohan got WASHED in this What If. Bro fell to the ground like three separate times and never spoke a word.

Krillin really was the biggest troll in this what if! Zarbon actually makes nice with Goku only for Krillin to snatch life from him at the last second!!! XD

Honestly don't know how XenoVerse dropped the ball so hard on making What Ifs when they had the Tenkaichi games.

28:46 Looks like Guldo and Dodoria are about to drop the sickest rap album Namek has ever heard of.

Not even gonna lie man the narration at the end was actually bone chilling. Like actual goosebumps. "Namek was destroyed. A beautiful and terrble light shone in the darkness of space. Thus, the story of what might have happened to a fool obsessed with his own beauty, has come to it's tragic end." The thought of someone causing an entire planet, and everyone he knows, to blow up for the sake of being young and beautiful forever doesn't seem so far-fetched anymore.

Zarbon:"get out played bro, jaja- " frieza:*stands behind zarbon like a spider verse villan* zarbon:"oh no..."

“I don’t know why my PS2 is struggling with this scene (coughs nervously)” Yeeeeaaah suuuuuure.

22:58 that scream had the same sentiment that goku had when he saw krilin die

When frieza teleported in i could legit imagine the menacing meme with him 😂😂😂

"Dance with me Dodoria! Dance the Dance of Life!" Got me WEAK 🤣🤣🤣 Doto you a real one for that

"My Ps2 Is acting up" bro trying to say he is not using a PS2 emulator when it says in the top left that it saves XD

I think the beauty of these what ifs in the Tenkaichi series are how it uses assets (characters, settings, plots) from the main series, it doesn't make up any fanfic stuff like forms or fusions or involve any OC character shenanigans like Xenoverse and UT It's just like What if we took Raditz and had him bonk his head, becoming a good boy It makes the what ifs feel more real to me, if that makes sense. Lookin forward to more Beautiful Treachery!

The sequence of Frieza pulling up and spamming death beam after slapping Zarbon silly was TOO PERFECT😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Against the combined power of *Zarbon* and *Dodoria* even the Saiyan prince vegeta stood no match” Krillin being the one that literally did everything: 😢 7:11

15:53 POV: You're Tien and you realize power levels are kinda dumb.

26:52 Honestly, that's a good enough reason for Goku to throw hands

19:26 rhyme wasnt the only one to lose against guldo 😂 I love this series so much.

This is one of my fave what-ifs it shows Zarbon as a main character and it's entertaining as hell as well as having a perfect ending

I remember this What If being the weakest of the three (still decent) in this game, but by gosh, that opening made it sound far more interesting. 1:11 - It’s funny how well both this Dodoria statement and the Raditz statement fit into the What If’s through you winning overly hard battles you weren’t supposed to be able too. In those scenarios, you were indeed stronger than the game expected. 2:38 - Loving the narration of your fighting manoeuvres here. Gohan realised his Masenko only costs 2 energy bars and just started firing away every chance he got. 6:10 - Krillin’s eager to finish the job he never got to do back in the Saiyan Saga. 9:16 - You’re playing as Zarbon and yet acting like Vegeta; dominating this fight until you decided to a beam clash. 12:31 - Seems Zarbon is not the only one doing a bit of treachery; Cui doesn’t get killed by Vegeta and takes up a job offer from Cooler. 13:40 - Unless against giants, volley attacks never seemed all that useful. Death Beam costs less Ki and just went right through all that. 16:27 - To be fair, that was 5 or such fights in to this What If until you received a loss. It was a very different story to when you had to dedicate entire episodes to lone fights in Raditz story mode. 22:12 - Okay, forgot that part. That was clever thinking. A shame Goku’s about to head to warzone with no clue what is going on. 23:28 - Oh man, always hated when that happens. Some of these attacks just go on forever. 24:47 - That was amazing. The sheer desperation in your voice as you grasp victory from the jaws of defeat. Well done! 26:53 - Honestly, Goku probably didn’t even need to be asked. 28:48 - The true ultimate tag-team we never expected; Guldo and Dodoria. An yeah, seems Vegeta is the only Zarbon managed to successfully eliminate… though thinking about it, that was Krillin who did that.

I really love this series so far and love that you're consistent with it

I love how Doto spams death beam and then gets destroyed by it in the Freiza fight. The Ai is really getting back at you.😂

28:45 The Rise of Skywalker foreshadowing

LETS GO!!!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO HOLD OFF THIS SERIES BECAUSE OF THE NEW KAKAROT DLC!!

3:14 "We're using dash attacks all 2024" proceeds to use Elegant Blaster 10 seconds later

Transformation in bt2 is in the controls you just have to scroll all the way down to the bottom. But its usually r3 and a direction on the right or left stick if I remember right You can also hit someone away with a charged square attack then use a beam, or follow them with x or teleport with triangle

Damn that was so good!!! Zarbon actually felt like a cool character here. Sure the motivation is simple but I was actually rooting for the guy. Good attention to detail too. In the end Zarbon was entangled by his own treachery. He was the one who caused the Cooler Freiza fight to happen. He was the one to turn on Dodoria and Guldo and it all came to bite him in the ass.

Man doto is doing one heck of a justice to Budokai Tenkaichi 2 with the what if series 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The saddest thing about this what-if is that Zarbon would have lived if he would just finish his enemies.

" The most NOBODY LOSERS, look at this " 28:46 I CANT MAN xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Honestly I really like the idea of Krillin deciding to join Zarbon and Dodoria when he realized they were after Vegeta, and finishing the job he didn't finish on earth.

Hey Doto, you can also find Dragon Balls when you smash into the terrain of a fight. It’ll blink on your radar when it’s there. You don’t have to wait until they rng when you’re flying around.

20:54 cap doto is one of the most majestic human beings I’ve ever witnessed

These what ifs have no business being this good. I was INVESTED in these two stories!

I'm not exaggerating when I say this, but nothing could have prepared me for what Doto said at 15:10

Man saw a death ball coming to his face and had to pause just to say his goodbyes 😂

This let’s play has been the best I’ve seen this year doto. Keep going my brother. We love ya

Please continue this series all the way to the end of the game doto, loving it, i grew up on this exact game and its amazing to see it get some attention nowadays since it gets overshadowed by bt3 alot

22:20 was one of the few times I genuinely got scared of frieza... And it's from a tenkaichi what if...

I think Goku fresh off the ship would still have trouble with 1s form Freeza. He was washing the ginyus, but remember how he got a FAT zenkai boost right after? He never faced freeza without it, and he was still getting absolutely dogwalked. Freeza wasn't trying for real until he turned super Saiyan, he was built different

Zarbon: Finally i have eternal beauty Frieza: Are you sure about that? Imagine Friezas reaction like: Frieza: Why did you betray me? Zarbon: For eternal Beauty Frieza:...Boi if you dont get-

Note that Zarbon plan would have succeeded if he finished off Dodoria and Guildo when he had the godamn chance!

I don't think any of us would ever have thought of a team of Zarbon and Goku.. This game is really something else

I'll need to add "my ps2 can't handle this part for some reason" bro thats clearly an emulator lmao

Honestly, BT games have some of the craziest What Ifs. Glad to see BT2 catering to your preferred characters for this!

Absolutely was not expecting the better call saul reference but you're so right

This was awesome to watch. I can't wait to see what other ones are in this game

THAT ENDING HAD ME IN TWO TYPES OF TEARS 😭

Zarbon's actually pretty slick in this what if, right up until he makes his dumb wish.

My man, Doto, love your videos, but you have to know...Blast 1 are the moves like Wild Sense, the lil tiny Explosive Wave or Solar Flare. Blast 2 are the Kamehamehas, Galick Guns or the Vegeta's Techniques.

Damn, Zarbon just can't double tap. Bro failed at killing Dodoria TWICE

new episode ?

The discord got me to this video faster than RU-vid did with notifications on 😭

I’m replaying this game and it’s no my fav dbz game it has replaced dragon ball revenge of king piccolo

Solar flare almost never works on characters with scouters or sunglasses in most DBZ games. Neat little attention to detail.

28:05 remember Doto, Goku also got a Zenkai from almost losing against Ginyu, so that also probably made a difference

This is crazy! I never played Budokai 2, just 1 and 3, so I never knew about these 'What If' stories. But this was compelling and really fun to watch! Again, I haven't played this game, so I don't know if this exists or not, but personally, I would love to play as Android 19 and 20 and be the main villains of the Android Saga, _like how Toryama originally wanted._

Krillin really carried in this what if, helped fend of Dodoria, helped find and defeat Vegeta, finding the dragonballs, not to mention the scamming of Zarbon and wishing Goku back to Earth.

The fact that Krillin and the others just skidaddle killed me XD

Doto you should adjust the deadzones on your controllers in the settings for the Emulator, newer controls dont recognize stick waggling anymore that easily.

Hope you keep doing this it's amazing brings me back so many memories, also after this you need to challenge Dino

I was actually speechless at the end bro... like I was not expected them to COOK in a story about Z A R B O N

Somehow, Palpatine, Dodoria, and Gulido returned.

How dare they make me _feel_ for the vainest mook in existence, man?!

Bt2 straight up has my favorite what ifs and this one started my strange obsession with zarbon. I remember writing fanfic in middle school because of this

Nooooo zarboooon he just wanted to stay in his beautiful form all in his lifeeee

i love it when you used sonic crisis city theme !!

Doto I feel so dumb. I always used to think Zarbons finishing move was called the eggplant blaster. Until you said elegant blaster it didn’t click. Maybe I’m dyslexic

So this will sound a bit vague because it's been a while and I've only seen it in German but there is this thing in the main menu (probably) where you can fuse Z-Objects. This is needed for some of the more powerful equipables, but also for something that is likely more interessting: New characters. You don't unlock everyone by just playing the story, sometimes you gotta fuse. For example, fuse any Sayain with a tail and the powerball/fake moon amd youll get the Great Ape version (Yes, you could've had a Great Ape Raditz). And if I remember right you also unlock Zarbon's transformation this way. So you could have had an easier if you had wanted

This was crazy! What a brilliant story

Bro this is my favorite series rn keep it up

27:52 no because Goku fresh off the ship was around 60k without Kaioken (Ginyu's estimate) The Saiyan power boost he got from nearly dying because of Ginyu is what boosted him to Freiza needing 50% of his power to beat Goku.

For throws it’s up + X (A if you’re using Xbox controller) To switch characters press both analogs + L2 (or LT) U can sidestep beams if u step more than once Rushes can’t be blocked Gokus spirit bomb can do more damage if u use “give me your energy” more than once (it also gets bigger) Just tips for the future man

it’s hilarious that zarbon and bulma would use the dragon balls for the same wishes

Its true that goku fought freeza in his final form, but that was after fighting ginyu and then ginyu in his body getting beat by vegeta. The double zenkai boost from recovering these two fights back to back boosted him to be able to go toe to toe with final form frieza. But a goku fresh of the ship fighting 1st form frieza might've had issues but not enough to be winded by it. Power scaling wise, if I remember correctly 1st form frieza power level was 530k. While Ginyu stop counting goku's at 150k... yeah sayain's be crazy with their passive buff

if you dont know only the potra lvl up not the cac so you beter give them heal and yelwo potras like rage ki guts halo

Def the best playthrough I've seen of this game

I imagine Goku "fresh off the ship" vs First Form Frieza would look similar to the start of the canonical fight between Zenkai boost Goku and final form Frieza. So I think Frieza would kinda be toying with Goku.

24:23 - 24:27 "Oh, Psychokinesis! Something tells me I'm... *gets Death Beamed* ...cooked!" LMAO

Loving the videos Doto!! Keep up the hard work and appreciate the dedication you have for your videos bro!

Zarbon thinking he had killed Dodoria Killin being able to sense life energy: I'm keep that as a surprise tool for later.

@Dotodoya bro idk if u are doing it or not but sometimes it's sounds like u are using the stick back and forth, left and right in beam clashes and such when u are supposed to rotate it a full 360 as fast as u can. Like I said idk for sure cuz I can't see but hopefully that helped

Nah what finds me is that Cooler’s messenger is Cui bro was also betraying Frieza 💀

27:45 goku fresh off the ship is definitely slamming baby frieza. Hes somewhere in the range of 3rd form without zenkai boost

Dodoria is worse than Puss In Boots : bro is wasting all his lifes just to beat the fuck out of his old comrade !

27:55 fresh off the ship, goku was at a power level of 180,000 as picked up by ginyus scooter, frieza is 530,000. After the damage gokus body got when ginyu took it, then healing in the tank gave goju a MASSIVE zenkai boost, and that's when he fought final form frieza, who was only using a small % of his power

This was ABSOLUTELY STELLAR, 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Krilling mixing peeps out of their shoes.

18:50 Doto: Idk why my PC is struggling so hard with this scene Guldo: (Stinks so bad it makes it hard to see him)

27:54 i thought that too but i remembered fresh off the ship at max goku was only at 180k and frieza was at 530k when facing nail in his 1st form. and even vegeta said "dont get cocky kakarot frieza is leagues above you even as you are right now."

Doto you gotta win those beam clashes😭😭💀

Wait wait can we all appreciate how Krillin was BOXXXINGG vegeta out during the 2nd fight of the video? bro got his lick back on em fr lmao

Bro i freaked out when he nentioned better call saul cuz my brother is watching it in the background rn lmao

That is a pretty cool what if.
