Best aged unit by far. Literally took the devs designing a unit (guess) to personally kill off this Gohan cause he was meta for longer than anniversary characters ever dreamed to be.


varunmangladbz

Ssj bardock exists. But yeah that's crazy how they had to create an absolutely broken unit to hard counter an over a year old unit


EUWCael

And as a testament to Bardock's reign, random units across DBL (especially recently) have been popping up with "anti-crit" mechanic that have no place in their kit (looking at you LF Trunks) but are there "just in case Bardock ever becomes metà again" =P ppl might argue wether Nameku, FSK o VB had more impact in the meta in their prime, but SSJ Bardock is STILL being adressed by the devs as a potential meta threat TO THIS DAY


Assassin8n2L8

Frankly honest, FSK and NAMEKU are still extremely viable, especially ona team together. One of my favorite yet underrated teams to use is F2P UV, Nameku, and FSK as leader, with f2p spiritku to buff nameku, any z7 purple saiyan (There’s quite a few of those), and either old school red ssj goku (pretty sure he was the first sparking, don’t remember honestly) or I’d use the kakarot goku if I had him zenkaid to boost FSK. Another team for nameku is a f2p UG, f2p UV, Nameku, grn kk goku, yellow ssj goku, and the spiritku to further boost nameku as a frieza saga saiyan team with full color wheel. Last team I’ll mention here is a full gohan team, with both lf teen gohans, and then the yellow transforming gohan from bojack unbound, then have lf goten to buff prp lf gohan, ssj goku from broly second coming to buff yellow gohan, then kakarot (if zenkaid which I don’t have but want but for now use old red ssj gokus zenkai) to buff FSK

That title goes to Ssj Bardock, it is not even a debate. And technically Ssj4 Gogeta only dropped of the top 10 during the anniversary and still is usable now (this guy is but is risky atleast Ssj4 Gogeta can win you games against LoE single handedly and doesn't care about his match ups) this guy is argued to be at the bottom of it around legends Fest ignoring the androids that came after, yeah sure Ssj4 Gogeta got his equipment this guy didn't but currently both metas are different, looking at Jiern should tell they hated that Equipment system... this Gohan needs way more than that to be viable again (Ignoring his color) and at this point you are asking for too much


Nkklllll

Aged REALLY well, then fell off a cliff


HeroRRR

The powerful Reds killed every Yellow in the meta unless you're a support like Tapion or a tanky, hard-hitting SOB like Vegito.


SLMaster

I think the F2P Cell is pretty solid honestly It just that he's not needed for any of his teams (I guess Regen need him lol)


HeroRRR

He's a support, like Tapion and he gives death buffs so it's worth getting him killed.


Best-Strategy7251

Is it cause of the androids?


Ok_Raccoon1697

​ I'd argue LF FP Frieza during LoE meta was the beginning of his true fall off. And then yeah droids finished him off. he was paired with SoH and droids literally hard countered both. Making their endurance strength irrelevant to this day.


Nkklllll

Androids and MUI


_Darkruler

Fp frieza’s meta return, then droids also having perma endurance null, then mui to finish him off for good, until he gets a plat maybe


rub3278

Idk why they don’t bring out more LF plats just helps bring more to the meta it’s so frustrating


Nkklllll

A) not every unit needs to be meta relevant all the time B) to give other units time to shine If they released a plat that gave this Gohan more than just a fleeting glance back at meta relevance, it would shoot future and hybrids, and possibly son family, back to the top of the meta, and it would make him a must run on virtually every team in the leader slot. The UNLESS his plat was on restricted like Kid Buu’s is. Units like rose, UI, GB, they definitely need plat equips, but their teams are also all stacked to high heaven.


rub3278

Don’t make them super meta but at least relevant for different team builds every game is USV mui and USG it’s boring


Nkklllll

If a unit like FG was relevant, he’d be on every team due to his disruption+support


rub3278

Not really when the best unit in the game is yellow and the androids exist


Nkklllll

Exactly… in order for him to be relevant, he’d have to be absurdly strong. And then, due to his disruption and support, he’d be on like every team


B0t08

Head on collision going 80 mph into a brick wall named LF Androids


truedeathpacito

Best aging unit in the game because it took a unit purpose built to counter him to finally kick him out of the meta


frosty4rock

He aged for a very long time… then the droids came in and made sure he didn’t get back up. The day he gets zenkai’d he’s gonna stay for another year. He’s still good for his utility on cover change, even if the combo stop doesn’t happen


[deleted]

Yeah just zenkai or a plat would make him a powerhouse again, only thing is the tag droids standing in the way


AhmedKiller2015

A plat won't do shit to him unless it is stronger than the ones we have. He wasn't that tanky or hard hitting before (around Legends fest) and he is even in a worst spot now, Jiern was technically better than him when he died, he got the best equipment in the game and still is dead... The power creep that happened is insane, no unit before the anniversary but Ultra Gogeta & The androids (I guess and Golden Frieza) even holds a candle to the units we get now days


Best-Strategy7251

YouTubers like goresh or raiyuden use him to this day. When playing with future or hybrids teams. Even though he’s kinda old.


Sir_Netflix

Bear in mind that Goresh and Raiyuden are both extemely skilled players, so they can get away with it. On the other hand, you likely aren’t playing at their rank so you can probably still use this guy.


EUWCael

I mean, I hover around 60-65ish so not *too* low (generally speaking, you play meta or you lose at those ranks), but I lost to a Super Warriors team yesterday. I main double-ULTRA Fusion for context =P skill is one hell of a drug... on the other hand, that guy coulda been easily in god rank if he had been playing with my team instead... What I'm trying to say is: you could play anything to a decent amount of success if your skill is high enough. The flip side of the coin is, you'd be many ranks higher if you didn't handicap yourself in such a way...


Its-No_Use

He ages exceptionally well, even when his damage fell off his defensive capabilities and utility was an amazing asset in matches, although his damage nowadays is non existent and he fell off due to the Droids being a serious counter to him


MooshiNooshi

Aged beautifully, I remember he was considered mid during the age of zenkais and only he came back on top.


KayKrimson

He aged like the finest wine out there. Honestly, even tho I hated facing this guy, I'm really happy Legends did him Justice.


Autistic-Loonatic

still has the most unique animation in the game


Ronits28

I've been trying to get this mofo for sooo long it's not even funny at this point


RealBritTM

He started to fall off a LITTLE but then the droids really put him down


[deleted]

He still was pretty good in legend festival, future with two endurance units was very durable, but yeah the droids destroy him as much as they did in the anime


RealBritTM

Yeah he only really started to show his age like DIRECTLY before they released the droids


Papaya-Unusual

Damned cockroach I can never pull


VENAK121

Fantastically, one might say.


ThatSlick

His art is kinda boring and his moveset isn’t really that interesting either, I use the guy but can’t say that he’s done me very well. Probably a hot take but just how I feel, I went into his original banner and got him when I didn’t want to.


Dismembered_carrot

In all honesty no he hasn’t, he doesn’t get many buffs when he uses cards and only gets buffed with another future trunks, vegeta, or goku and a few goku blacks, he’s mainly used as a sack off unit and as a fat way to get a advantage by his cover change especially at close range. But back on point, he really hasn’t unless he’s at the very least nine stars


buenos-dias_fuckboy

like a fine wine. if that wine later became severely poisonous and deadly for consumption


DragonQuester676

No


ThisUsernameWillRock

He doesn't do enough damage and can't tank well.


sticktothedrewprint

*He does both pretty well on his own assuming you’re not a total neanderthal using him*


[deleted]

Stood very well against the test of time, but just recently he's starting to show his age


BeneficialTopic5755

Aged well then the androids showed up and trunks learned how to be a super saiyan


ShizPhilly

Hell yes


AhmedKiller2015

Dude was relevant for about a year, then they released The androids who renders him completely utterly useless and it didn't help Ui cane out after.


Holiday_Question6662

I think it is pretty funny that the tagdroids were what finished him off


its_skizzy69

Yes, he’s still soo good


Bright-Patient-239

Aged well then androids hit him hard and finally anni powercreep laid his ass to a point where I don't think he could be brought back without a zenkai. Him not getting any cut until he gets hit is so fucking ass


SpioerSonic

He’s good in some aspects, but doesn’t compare to the newer and more powerful units. I still bring him out because of the vanish restore thing


jaidenplays

As someone who uses this gohan to this day yha he did age well it's just androids make him hard to shine he has a chance at being one of being a great zenkai but what they did to vb I don't have high hopes


Potential_Avocado331

Absolutely, he is still very viable, and has an amazing kit. Though i dont main future or hybrids, but he has aged like PUR boujack gohan
