Nobody knew where the shots were coming from, Tien had to track them, so no, Goku couldn't just teleport to him.

Apparently, Goku and Gohan will be the two left at the end. Two of the best fighters of U7. Should be fireworks and awesome to watch, I hope to see some teamwork.
Move so fast the other dude can't even see you before smashing him in the face?
They were dodging them after they went through reflector guy was more accurate and could redirect the shots from any point in his body.

Tien mastered the ancient art of split yo self and run straight at the sniper in an open field
Tien sucks.
Goku and Vegeta hurling rocks owned.

If Vegeta goes out next episode... Hats off to the writers for such a twist. One we expected but hey. I'll take it.
This is a nitpick but they find out about this combination seconds ago it seems like such a powerful power that easily knock out bunch of guys if they wanted to.
Even the laser guy by himself got probably do that.
It's one of those things why some if the battles don't seem meaningful and little weight in knock outs and undersell how chaotic it is when most of the them are done by u7 .
It doesn't help after the first couple episodes it's feels tiny and like they don't exist sometimes until they needed to fight then they disappear
Watch him get taken out by Freeza or something.
Only thing against the Freeza kocking out Vegeta thing is what does he have to truly gain from it? Yeah he might get a kick out of hurting Vegeta's pride but his very existence is on the line. He can't be that petty, right?

Freeze Petty nah doesn't sound like him at all
Frost wants his revenge, apparently.
Freeze Petty nah doesn't sound like him at all
Oh, right XD
But he doesn't even get to kill Vegeta! Just watch him fume in the background.
Unless, he actually tries to see what will happen if he actually kills someone.
Freeza and Frost have an alliance from episode 96. Frost can't get eliminated before something comes of it.
I'm expecting Vegeta to beat Frost again and right before the final blow Freeza interferes. It fits with the ending theory too lol.

i don't understand why gohan is the "leader" when he's so fucking useless
piccolo's thinking of all the ideas and strategies
or maybe that's why he's the leader, because the others know that there's no real point anyway so let him think he's doing something?

If Vegeta is really out next episode, I think they did the right thing to show him like that, so full of himself. That's why I think he was in this episode.
Yeah probably.
They could have done so much more with Tien this episode; which is kind of a bummer, but with how they've been treating him it's expected...
They should have just kept Goku and Vegeta out of this episode and let Tien stand out a little more before he's gone for good.
Also the NEP just screams red herring to me, I don't think they'd ever kill off Roshi.

The writers should have never let useless shits like Tien and Krillin into the team when we still had two Super fucking Saiyans doing jack shit on Earth.
And let those weaklings protect the island ?
17 was never gonna accept that deal lmao.

fuckin' called it, man
Goku and Vegeta chucking rocks was the only good thing about the episode
The whole reason they did that is to show that combat experience and intellect are just as important as pure strength in this situation.
Which honestly is far more interesting than another Super Saiyan.

Roshi took out three guys last episode and there are still people making the daft argument that strength is everything?
Goten and trunks would have gotten themselves knocked off just as easily as Tien , except they probably wouldn't even have been able to make it a double ring out.
That scene feels more and more pointless in hindsight
It's cool but they might as never mentioned the material if that easy to break
People forgot they wasted their fusion to make a cool entrance and made Buu stronger because they were screwing around instead of just killing him or try to seriously

Nah no Goten and Trunks. Ridiculous.

Tenshinhan got a double ring out with someone whose beams took out Piccolo's arms. I don't see Trunks and Goten even managing that.
Although, really, that last scene with Tenshinhan was pretty bad. How did the explosion throw Tenshinhan away from the arena when he was facing the edge and the explosion started in front of him? After he was falling, couldn't he just have fired beams to get himself back to the arena? It also seemed like they were standing right beside the wall, so grabbing onto it shouldn't be hard...
Brah they are kids they would have been knocked out in the first minute because as shown every time they are on screen they cant take shit seriously.
Also yes they couldnt sense the energy of the sniper so no, Goku couldnt just teleport and knock them.

Then it would be them saiyans being useless shits. Its the writing, not the characters. Dragonball has always had a jobber quota.

Seems the only reason Goku is in the fight still is because of his power level. He's not been taking it seriously either. The kids could have brute forced their way through multiple enemies before getting taken out.
The problem with combat experience and intellect coming into play is that it shouldn't matter at all. Did combat experience matter at all in the Frieza, Cell and Buu arcs? This franchise is all about power and speed which Goten and Trunks have far more of compared to Krillin and the rest.
They can act like it matters now but it just leads to infuriating contrived shit like what happened in this episode where three of the most powerful Saiyans need fucking Tien to clean up shit for them.

Dragonball Z was.
Dragonball and Dragonball Super are avoiding that where they can. You have to be deliberately ignoring what actually happens in the episodes if you still think that is the case, given we just came off Master Roshi a week ago taking out three people who are among the top ten in the universe they came from.
If you don't like it, just go rewatch Z instead.
Absolutely not. Goku is a fighting genius for crying out loud. He is often getting caught out as well. The kids also aren't as strong as you think they are and have 0 technique that would help here.

Goku is dicking around,17 got a idgaf attitude, tien is utterly useless and krillin got knocked out by gloating. The kids are where we draw the line

I like how fighting genius goku was super impressed by Vegeta's idea to simply throw rocks at their enemy.
