Tien got nothing at best, less than nothing more realistically.
Nothing new, not even a chance to break out any his better old stuff with going 4 or 6 armed/etc, no surprise solar flare given they just arbitrarily let Krillin steal and adopt it without the slightest, even his eyes did functionally nothing given he read no attack paths at all and just charged in directly the whole time.
Even aside from ALL of that, the fight itself had the mass reflection attack seemingly nailing the entire platform stage yet nobody among the other groups was even slightly inconvenienced? Goku couldn't just IT over and punch the energy reflecting guy in the face? Come on DBS~

Everyone knew Tien was garbage so they were happy he at least took one person out with him. Krillin on the other hand had the potential to do more but fucked up.
I am really bummed that we didn't get to see Tien use his Goro arms at all in the tournament. Dude could have busted out some double tri-beams with four arms. What a fucking waste.

What an odd avatar to have Xp
To be fair, if Goku had beaten Fat Buu like he claimed he could as SSJ3, none of that would have happened.

SSJ3 was burning up his remaining time iirc, if he was alive at that point he probably could have since he wouldn't have a time limit to deal with but I guess he thought it would be better to use the remaining energy he had to teach the kids how to dance.
It was said right in the episode that no one could sense the sniper and Goku needs to feel ki to teleport.
Yeah, and that was his mistake depended on kids to save the world.
You can like a design and still think the product is garbage.
I like Batman's BVS design a lot, it's my favorite. The movie is trash.
Maybe. We really only have what Goku says to go off of. He had a pretty good grasp on the situation, but we dont know how it would have been if they both went all out.
But his excuse wasnt the energy, but wanting to give the kids a shot. Which seems a tad irresponsible since he only met them like 3 hours prior at the tournament and only saw them fight once.
Man based on the NEP and the episode before last, I am really concerned about Roshi. They are using his vulnerability to good dramatic effect IMHO. I hate Frost now.
Edit: it's also crazy to think we aren't very far away from having super be as long as the original Dragonball.

That's not what was said ?
Maybe I missed something because I got pretty bored.
All I remember is them talking about the reflected lasers or the red guy not having energy.
They haven't said anything about the green guy's energy. And since there are a lot of fighters around them it's not like they would have known what was going on anyway so I doubt he was included in their "I can't feel energy" when they were specifically talking about the reflected lasers trap.
He will pass out and wake up after 90% of the team is taken down. He'll be the comical "wow that dude outlasted everyone !" card.
Fj0823 understands me!

Fairly simple gif I made from last night's episode. I'm still kind of learning how to make these.

Is Roshis beat down going to trigger Super Saiyan Devil Super Saiyan?
Piccolo said early in the episode that they couldn't sense their attacker, which is why they were pulling a Solid Snake. Goku and Vegeta only attacked the reflective guy because he was literally in the open, but they couldn't find the actual sniper.

"We can't shoot him! What are we highly trained martial artists going to do!?"

Here's another one I made from last week's episode. Still getting the hang of it. Getting the subtitles to show up was the hardest part.

Also, well, given the dude absorbed energy in order to reflect it, on top of Vegeta shooting at him---pretty sure Goku could've just hitched a ride on that to IT on over when it happened. Not even counting the fact that Goku/Vegeta can sprint pretty ridiculously fast outright.
We didn't even get a Serpentine Run moment despite it being the most obvious nod they could've done to the old days alongside the gratuitous limb removal!
The whole thing was just ridiculously written and poorly contrived---we'd have been better off with just the early reckonings of some invisible folk.

Tien looked really fucking weak in this episode. The multi-form technique was pretty cool, but that was about it. I was expecting him to have a much better showing than this. Atleast the suffering is finally over now that Tien is out. I don't need to see any further embarrassment from him. Hopefully he will have some decent commentary on the bleachers . . .
He'll still lose to Beerus and Champa in this regard.

GP did a shoddy job with the arena, everyone is breaking that shit like its regular earth rock. Smh, Cell had much better craftsmanship, arena was only ruined when he wanted it ruined.
Tien alone must burden all the L's for universe 7.
Goku isnt a bad fighter though. Trunks and goten are....

I still enjoyed this episode mainly because I liked the strategy that the sniper people had going on. At least conceptually, but yeah there was a lot of stupid.
Gohan/Chi chi taught goten and trunks was taught by Vegeta. Don't give me that...

Chichi..u listed chichi!! Gohan gave him basic training. Gohan had harsh environmental training with piccolo and hyperbolic time chamber training with goku. Goten trained with a soft Gohan and from what we saw of vegeta and trunks it wasn't much. In fact the second time we see them training vegeta is telling trunks to leave the gravity chamber because it's too much for a boy

What a shit episode.
Also I really wish Goten and Trunks were in this tournament. They could have started them off fighting scrubs, playing around and using silly Gotenks style techniques. Then U9 gets erased and the kids realise they don't want that to happen to U7 and start fighting properly. You know, some kind of character development for them.

I don't expect him to be anywhere near as colorful as those two, but Tien has a good eye (hah!) for fighting. He'll hopefully be able to point some stuff out. Tien will probably be able to observe the invisible fighters. Too bad he won't be able to actually, you know, help. Tien could have offered so much utility . . .

So does the Roshi episode mean Roshi could beat Goten and Trunks because of exp

I think the thought was those instakill beams would instakill and be near impossible to dodge at point blank.
Edit lol that street fight match dragged. Super lttp.

If Popo can take on SSJ Goten and Trunks, Roshi can.

That's not exactly true.
1) They saw where the original beam was sent from
2) They saw the red guy turn towards the green guy to talk to him...
3) Vegeta had no doubt he'd find him and kick his ass, but Red guy prevented him from leaving
When Piccolo made the comment, he said "I can't sense any energy", which, as I said, can't possibly include the green guy (whether he does have an energy that can be felt or not) because there are dozens of fighters around, in battle, so Piccolo would have felt them. Piccolo was referring to the red guy and his attack, which is the reflected beam.
Remember he could turn one beam into multiple ones, and since they couldn't feel him directly, he is probably the reason the attacks couldn't be felt.
Since the green guy was far away, his attacks were not directly felt either because they were blurred in the battlefield. That's how I took it anyway.

It means Roshi could have beaten Frieza on Namek since Frieza never really fought and roshi has been fighting longer.
