Tien is just mister pull up. Saiyans who can destroy planets? He pulls up Androids who have infinite stamina and power? He pulls up An abomination created to consume those androids and the world? He pulls up Literal evil given form? He. Pulls. Up. Hes throwin hands with everyone
A god of destruction that threatens to erase the planet, Tien still pulls up. He's a true warrior through and through. He's one of the only Z warriors that seems to have no fear and always stands on business
I have had to tell so many people this. He is the ride or die of the series. He knows he is out classed so often but knows he can buy others' time to get there or get away. That's enough for him. He is the G.O.A.T.
Tien holding off cell is one of the best moments in the whole series. He knew he couldn't stop cell or even really hurt him but would give his life just to buy a little bit of time.
@FirstLast-wk3kc 4 straight hours of *Shin Ki Ko Hou!* Insane even before you take Into account the toll that technique takes on the user from *one* use
I just love characters who manage to punch outside of their weight class, people who stand no chance, know it, and fight anyway because they know they have to.
Out of all the Earthlings, Tien has put in the most work to improve his skills as a fighter, despite being shown up constantly by beings with less experience but much stronger genes. He's persistent, unwaivering and completely aware of how outclassed he is but still works around it. Krillin is known for being the creative fighter, Piccolo is known for being the strategic one, but Tien should be recognized as both.
Tien is a top tier character simply because he's the only Human on planet Earth who saw Super Saiyans, Gods, Emperors of the Galaxy, and Bio-Androds and was not discouraged.
Won’t Lie, Team Four Star made me realize how badass Tien really is. “Fuck Super Sayains, Fuck Power Levels, AND FUCK YOOOOU!!” Toriyama just always did him dirty :(
Tien pioneering the equivalent of a reusable Flashbang makes Tien the best character by far. What are you gonna do with all that power if your ears are ringing and you've been blinded by the brightness of 50 suns
Actually beat Goku ✅️ Won WMA tournament ✅️ Pumped, and ghosted Launch ✅️ Taught Z-crew flight chi, Solar Flare and telepathy ✅️ OG Sigma bro. People also forget that while Yam, Krillin, Roshi and even Gohan we're giving up martial arts to be simps just cuz Goku outclassed them, my boy Tien was pump-dumpin h0s and training harder than ever; even after realizing he'll never catch up to the Saiyans.
He stays on his own path to be a master martial artist. Not for fame or glory, not to be the best. But just because it's what he loves to do. He's a true sigma fr fr
Honestly, yeah. Frost would be a good opponent for Tien since he was a sneakier Frieza. Seeing Tien beat Frost with his knowledge of assassination tricks and sheer martial ability would be a contrast to how Goku beat Frieza. Goku gained more power to overwhelm Frieza, Tien after years of fighting people stronger than him would put Frost down with his skill. Both the Turtle and Crane schools repping their universe.
Stuff like this is why I liked OG Dragon Ball the best. Ki attacks were special ultimate moves to pull out when needed and were special/dramatic. The story between the character and all that along with the adventure. New BD kind of feels off, it’s basically just a series of fights that Goku and Vegeta have to deal with because everyone else is much too weak with ever bigger beam attacks that don’t seem any more powerful than they used to be.
YES!! I’VE BEEN STANNING TIEN FOR YEARS. dude had his arm ripped off, watched his best friend die in vein, and still got back up to kick some ass. Screw Nappa.
Tien and Piccolo are my favorites, unique techniques, cool character designs, and iconic moments (Sadly less in super), I was so happy when Piccolo got the Orange Power, I really hope Tien and the humans get something
Even though he didn't defeat cell, him holding cell down when he knows he's going to probably die is my absolute favorite moment in the series behind Gokus first super saiyan transformation
5:24 - fun trivia: originally in this manga panel Yamcha shows a middle finger to Tien. It got censored in later releases but I still have the first edition of the manga where the finger is seen
Tien has been butchered and gutted as a character and it's very painful. Even in Z he was being left behind in favor of the new guys (Piccolo, Vegeta...) but Toriyama, even if Tien wasn't a character he particularly beloved, still gave him small moments. These are basically absent in the modern era and Tien has been consistently clowned, downgraded, crushed, humiliated and worse. A huge character assassination, deliberate or not.
It really sucks ever since his final battle with Goku, he has lost techniques to never use again. And in Z he flat out never uses his own technique that he created (Solar Flare) but is still acceptable bcs his attitude and character is more and less the same. But Super just flat out butchers him. Bro lost everything, his goal, backbone, attitude, drive to fight, combat IQ and turned into a Tribeam one trick pony (Until TOP where he used his clone ability in such a low iq way). We all know that the Solar Flare 100x shouldve created by Tien.
For me it was Tien for Dragon Ball Z Abridged. As they simplified one of my favorite moments. Tien vs Cell. The rest of the human fighters acknowledge they were no useless and simple cannon fodder to get beaten up to show how powerful the villains are... And Tien refuses to be left as a spectator and might have actually ended the Cell Arc if he arrived early to fight Cell (1st version) through his trademark attack.
Tien is the best,he meditated so much he even opened his third eye,he s mentally strong,he was always fighting even when knew he doesnt have a chance,and he was so caring,he was like older brother to Chaotzu,look after him,took him with himself everywhere,great great character,had so much potential,sad they ruined him😢
I love Krillin the most because even though he's constantly terrified (for good reason) he always does his best and gets up when he gets knocked down just as much as Goku. Short king inspo Tien is cool AF though.
Good to see Tien getting some respect. He got done so dirty later in the series. My favorite characters in DB are Trunks, Videl, and Gohan Sidenote: I can't wait to play Sparking Zero! I hope Zangya is in the game.
Something cool i noticed when he holds cell back in the manga, is that the reason he could go from doing 1 tri-beam and nearly killing himself, to shooting a 2-3 per second was due to King Kai's training. So aside from Goku we get to see how that training improved his skills. The power gap between him and semi-cell makes it even more crazy.
I agree, i wish they showed the same respect they showed to yamcha in dbs with tein. Remember its the fandom that views him like that died to saibamen , eventhough he was kicking ass.
I really believe that everything is owed to Tien, nobody learned to fly until after the time skip after meeting Tien. I think he taught everyone how to fly
Especially in DBS they did his character so dirty. They should've had him unlock new abilties with his third eye right before the tournament of power. Maybe to help nerf opponents, amp his allies, and other techniques of his mysterious third eye clan
i wanted yamcha to run after and save tien after the semi cell tri beam exhaustion, i wanted to see kaio ken yamcha vs semi perfect cell; hed still lose but id like to see the fight, besides goku could carry one more person with the anti transmission, also on the g o on comment, Ranfan
For me it’s android 17 (the one that became good) because of his cool personality and calm demeanor and despite all the odds he rarely ever loses his posture.
@@Prosody.Frissonhe’s a human turned cyborg who ended up learning to appreciate nature to which he learned from 16 (who was an actual android unlike 17 and 18) and he even decides not to murder the poachers that come to his island despite what they tried to do countless times.
These guys definitely need some love from the new media, tien is such an underated character. The humans always fought no matter the strength of their opponents.
Tien is my favorite human Z Fighter of the bunch. His move sets, his mind set, his dedication to his path...it's all so well done in my opinion. I'm right there with you in the outrage of how he was treated in DB Super. Him becoming a master of his own dojo is where I hoped he'd end up. And even when he's teaching others, he's still trying to improve himself, always! True martial artist, right there.
Damn, Dragon ball z attack of the saiyans on nintendo DS was the first game of the franchise i've played. It was so coooool, i still play it when i think about it.
@@ChitinChazz still have my first save with OP broly's collar item. The game's sprites are REALLY cool 😀 And each characters having their solo arc is the cherry on top of it all
Don't watch the early American dub if you wanna experience the source material. The dub changes a lot and mischaracterizes a few characters. People only recommend that out of nostalgia
If i recall a book Akira T basically said that if Tien ever mastered his third eye power he would gain power equal to that of the gods. Seems like a pretty easy way to make him relevant again. If gohan can just have it whenever he eneds it and Pic can wish for it then let's have Tien visit elder kai and unlock some power. He always struck me as the tactile and pinpoint fighter. Let him be the one who figures out how to master suppressing his energy to nothing, and going for kill shots. Since most of the enemies they fight regenerate anyway there's no reason not to. Bring Tien back to the frontlines~!
I'm late but man I had to leave a comment on this video. Tenshinhan is my favorite character and it's really nice to see others take the time to spotlight what makes Tenshinhan such a cool and great character or how poorly more recent Dragon Ball content has treated him. He's an extremely talented and committed martial arts master and definitely deserved better. It's ashame we don't know more about him, especially since he fell out of focus relatively quickly. The late Toriyama barely talked about him, we hardly know anything about him in external material, and he has little to no past, family, or future, something he has in common with Yamcha. Super tried to flesh Tenshinhan by having him build a generic dojo where somehow he didn't even teach his pupils how to use ki for some reason, even Gohan taught Videl the basics with relative ease, but Tenshinhan couldn't? To add salt to the wound, Roshi is there as an honorary master but doesn't care for being there, he upstages Tenshinhan in his own tournament recruitment episode (then later by Gohan, who wasn't really training at that time and got a plot power up, even Krillin was allowed to 1-up Gohan. But Tenshinhan's 40+ years of martial arts experience and skill did him no good against the uncommitted Gohan with his only 5+ years total of experience.), and Chiaotzu could barely handle his own mind-controlled students. It was a disater, Roshi pasted the torch to Ten, but all that seem to have been forgotten. Speaking of which, it was super insulting that Goku didn't even think of Ten for the tournament at first and Oolong had to remind Goku that Ten exists, Goku thought of recruiting ROSHI before Ten. Needless to say, Tenshinhan is a role model, Obviously, his discipline, hard work, dedication, relatable character arc, coolness factor, and plethora of techniques are what draw me to this character. As I mentioned before, Tenshinhan, Chiaotzu, and even Yamcha have no family, no past, and frankly, no future (unfortunately). Which is why I really think they could have benefitted from that. There is a reason Piccolo's death in the Saiyan Arc and his last words to Gohan hit a little harder with fans compared to Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu deaths despite being sad as well. It's because Toriyama actually cared about exploring and focusing on the former pair, we got to see much more of Piccolo and Gohan's friendship develop, thus resonated more with fans. All we know about Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu is that they've been together since their days at the Crane School and outside material says they play beach volleyball together, a nod to Ten's volleyball technique, they train in private on the mountains, and Ten is relatively reclusive compared to others in Goku's friend and ally group, even more than Piccolo. So much so that, Tenshinhan and by extension Chiaotzu were completely omitted from the anime version of the special Yo! Son Goku & Friends Return from 2008, they were in the manga version, but you'd be forgiven for not really noticing their lack of presence in the anime due to how reclusive Tenshinhan is as a character it seemed natural. Tenshinhan something gets left out of stuff like in Super they at times forget to add him in a scene he should be in I believe. But in the case of the 2008 special, it came out a year or 2 after the death of Tenshinhan's original Japanese voice actor, so he was excluded out of respect. Ten's character definitely could have benefitted with more screentime of him and Launch, who Toriyama mentioned dated Tenshinhan at one point, maybe they could have had a family and a child of Tenshinhan would be apart of the next generations of fighters and such along with Goten and Trunks. Anyways, a lot of DB characters suffered a lot because when their arcs wrapped up, thay was pretty much it for them other than the extremely rare cool moment or two. A common complaint by fans even since the heyday of DB was Torino poor utilization of these fun characters. As soon as they turn to the good side, they became bland and directionless. What harms them more is their tenuous relationship and lack of interaction with the other cast members. Goku and Vegeta have become so strong and otherworldly, you can't imagine a scenario where they would interact with a ancillary cast member without it being forced. They're isolated and unfortunately you get an impossible situation when you have a beloved cast that contributes nothing to the plot but have to stick around because it would be odd if they just up and vanished entirely.
@ssbasix7704 just his story he went from a nothing bandit living on scraps in the desert to a protector or humanity mastered marshal arts gaindx superhuman powers and although he didn't end up with the girl still worked hard and became rich doing what he love which was baseball.
Look, I haven't really seen super so I can't speak on that. I'm just sayin I know Krillin is "the strongest human".... but when Tien shows up during Buu all I'm thinking is "Oh, so Tien aint a human? Must be the third eye."
well since 1997 i was a fan of Tien and Goku. Forever. When i bought dragon ball 42, 5 years later when it released in french, I loved to see hm blast Boo with his power !
Did good to show his character development; really enjoyed the OG DB deep dive. Super doesn’t exist, 'tis only bad furry-fanfiction. Thanks for another beautiful DB character analysis. Looking forward to when you get around to Raditz, especially if you include his video game appearances like you did here with our OG boy.
I'm kinda sad you didn't talk about one of my favorite Tien moments in dragon ball where he runs into that one guy who he beat up years ago in a match while trying to find the dragon balls during the King piccolo saga. the man had gotten permanent injuries and was broke with a wife and kid. He even called the cops on Tien to have him be taken away. Tien got on his knees and asked for forgiveness. The episode was 107 if anyone else is interested in what episode it was. Besides that this video is GREAT!
@@Misscouchpotato- damn that does sound great. I'm sorry, my knowledge on the filler episodes is limited. When I made this video I followed along the manga then found the corresponding episodes. But I'm glad you enjoyed what I did talk about
Tenshinhan has always been up there as one of my favourite characters, ever since I read and watched the original Dragonball. The fight in the final of the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai between him and Goku is one of, if not my absolute favourite fight in the entirety of DB/Z/GT/Super. He also got one of the coolest moments in all of DBZ when he held second form Cell down with his barrage of Kikoho. Which was made even cooler in the DBZ Abridged version. In fact they did a great job with his character in that in general, where they made Krillin and Yamcha come across as whiny whimps, Ten who's just as strong (or weak) as those two, takes no shit from anyone. Love the way they did the relationship between him and Vegeta lmao.
13:58 when I was a kid I called choutzhu was an emperor and nobody knew wtf I was talking about and I couldn’t find the movie I was referencing, I thought I was Mandela effecting
I wasn’t expecting a tien guide for fighterz but I’ll take it I didn’t know you could tiger knee the volleyball fist as a tien main I’ll use this on people and friends alike
Remember you can jump cancel any normal on block during sparking, so his stand medium becomes a true 50/50 guess between the volleyball fist or his down medium. Destroy your friends😈
I became a fan of Tien after playing with him and taking down super saiyans in the DBZ CCG. He was underpowered but had a bunch of powerful cards you could synergize with him.
Tien has always been one of my top tier favorite characters. But unless one watches the original dragonball series ( before watching DBZ ), I can understand how one can not be interested in Tien as much. Although he did have some great moments in DBZ. Dragonball really showed Tiens progression before Z. He is truly an interesting character.
Never seen this channel before. Glad that this video is blowing up, I love seeing underrated characters get the shine they deserve. By the way, I paused at 29:34 and I was like “how did I get here, did I already finish the video about Tien?” For a second I thought I clicked on a gaming video and had been watching it for several minutes LoL.
Finally someone respects Tien my fav character
Thank you for your support .
Is that okay?!
What
I always think and feel tientnis cool. He always comes to help back up everyone. A real bro

Tien is just mister pull up.
Saiyans who can destroy planets? He pulls up
Androids who have infinite stamina and power? He pulls up
An abomination created to consume those androids and the world? He pulls up
Literal evil given form? He. Pulls. Up.
Hes throwin hands with everyone
A god of destruction that threatens to erase the planet, Tien still pulls up. He's a true warrior through and through. He's one of the only Z warriors that seems to have no fear and always stands on business
I have had to tell so many people this. He is the ride or die of the series. He knows he is out classed so often but knows he can buy others' time to get there or get away. That's enough for him. He is the G.O.A.T.

Do yourself a favor and watch the ones with Bruce Falconer score, it is more genuine to the original airings in the States.
Don't watch the early American dub if you wanna experience the source material. The dub changes a lot and mischaracterizes a few characters. People only recommend that out of nostalgia
If anything, dragon ball z kai is your best bet or the manga as well.
@@DMMDestroyeryes bruce adds so much power and emotion to scenes. Its a completely different experience
Try to get the remaster version that caame out like 10 or so years ago has specials behind the scenes. Movies all episodes langjage and ausio options
If i recall a book Akira T basically said that if Tien ever mastered his third eye power he would gain power equal to that of the gods. Seems like a pretty easy way to make him relevant again. If gohan can just have it whenever he eneds it and Pic can wish for it then let's have Tien visit elder kai and unlock some power. He always struck me as the tactile and pinpoint fighter. Let him be the one who figures out how to master suppressing his energy to nothing, and going for kill shots. Since most of the enemies they fight regenerate anyway there's no reason not to. Bring Tien back to the frontlines~!
I'm late but man I had to leave a comment on this video. Tenshinhan is my favorite character and it's really nice to see others take the time to spotlight what makes Tenshinhan such a cool and great character or how poorly more recent Dragon Ball content has treated him. He's an extremely talented and committed martial arts master and definitely deserved better. It's ashame we don't know more about him, especially since he fell out of focus relatively quickly. The late Toriyama barely talked about him, we hardly know anything about him in external material, and he has little to no past, family, or future, something he has in common with Yamcha.
Super tried to flesh Tenshinhan by having him build a generic dojo where somehow he didn't even teach his pupils how to use ki for some reason, even Gohan taught Videl the basics with relative ease, but Tenshinhan couldn't? To add salt to the wound, Roshi is there as an honorary master but doesn't care for being there, he upstages Tenshinhan in his own tournament recruitment episode (then later by Gohan, who wasn't really training at that time and got a plot power up, even Krillin was allowed to 1-up Gohan. But Tenshinhan's 40+ years of martial arts experience and skill did him no good against the uncommitted Gohan with his only 5+ years total of experience.), and Chiaotzu could barely handle his own mind-controlled students. It was a disater, Roshi pasted the torch to Ten, but all that seem to have been forgotten. Speaking of which, it was super insulting that Goku didn't even think of Ten for the tournament at first and Oolong had to remind Goku that Ten exists, Goku thought of recruiting ROSHI before Ten.
Needless to say, Tenshinhan is a role model, Obviously, his discipline, hard work, dedication, relatable character arc, coolness factor, and plethora of techniques are what draw me to this character. As I mentioned before, Tenshinhan, Chiaotzu, and even Yamcha have no family, no past, and frankly, no future (unfortunately). Which is why I really think they could have benefitted from that. There is a reason Piccolo's death in the Saiyan Arc and his last words to Gohan hit a little harder with fans compared to Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu deaths despite being sad as well. It's because Toriyama actually cared about exploring and focusing on the former pair, we got to see much more of Piccolo and Gohan's friendship develop, thus resonated more with fans. All we know about Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu is that they've been together since their days at the Crane School and outside material says they play beach volleyball together, a nod to Ten's volleyball technique, they train in private on the mountains, and Ten is relatively reclusive compared to others in Goku's friend and ally group, even more than Piccolo.
So much so that, Tenshinhan and by extension Chiaotzu were completely omitted from the anime version of the special Yo! Son Goku & Friends Return from 2008, they were in the manga version, but you'd be forgiven for not really noticing their lack of presence in the anime due to how reclusive Tenshinhan is as a character it seemed natural. Tenshinhan something gets left out of stuff like in Super they at times forget to add him in a scene he should be in I believe. But in the case of the 2008 special, it came out a year or 2 after the death of Tenshinhan's original Japanese voice actor, so he was excluded out of respect. Ten's character definitely could have benefitted with more screentime of him and Launch, who Toriyama mentioned dated Tenshinhan at one point, maybe they could have had a family and a child of Tenshinhan would be apart of the next generations of fighters and such along with Goten and Trunks. Anyways, a lot of DB characters suffered a lot because when their arcs wrapped up, thay was pretty much it for them other than the extremely rare cool moment or two. A common complaint by fans even since the heyday of DB was Torino poor utilization of these fun characters. As soon as they turn to the good side, they became bland and directionless. What harms them more is their tenuous relationship and lack of interaction with the other cast members. Goku and Vegeta have become so strong and otherworldly, you can't imagine a scenario where they would interact with a ancillary cast member without it being forced. They're isolated and unfortunately you get an impossible situation when you have a beloved cast that contributes nothing to the plot but have to stick around because it would be odd if they just up and vanished entirely.
the most tactical, useful and crazy tecniques come from him
Always love to see a OG like Tien gettkng his flowers after all these years.
Me being a Yamcha fan
You have great taste. Yamcha is great too
Why may I ask. I am searching for character inspiration for my story
@ssbasix7704 just his story he went from a nothing bandit living on scraps in the desert to a protector or humanity mastered marshal arts gaindx superhuman powers and although he didn't end up with the girl still worked hard and became rich doing what he love which was baseball.
@@Sanjixoxo Yamcha is my boi! It's so great seeing other people like him!
Tien and Yamcha are my favorite characters, in all of fiction, period. Its hard loving characters everyone trash talks
I already really liked Tien
This vid convinced me that he's my favorite DB character
Yeah, Tien is pretty strong
Look, I haven't really seen super so I can't speak on that. I'm just sayin I know Krillin is "the strongest human".... but when Tien shows up during Buu all I'm thinking is "Oh, so Tien aint a human? Must be the third eye."
well since 1997 i was a fan of Tien and Goku. Forever. When i bought dragon ball 42, 5 years later when it released in french, I loved to see hm blast Boo with his power !
DBZ in the old 90s dub, Tien vs inperfect cell was my favorite scene from all the various dragonball shows. "Here's a little gift from the no count"
“I. HATE. EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU”
“WHY. DO I LOVE YOU”
Fucking badass
My favorite moment is when tien is giving it his all and doing the Tri beam attack on 2 form cell like 8 times in a row
Everytime i train shoulders i think of Tien. Tein vs Cell and Tein vs Buu are my some of my favorite moments in the series
chiaotzu holds tien back so much
Attack of the Saiyans is massively overlooked and underrated. It's an amazing gem for any DB fan. I've beaten it 4 times.
The fact that this dude was able to injure Semi-Perfect Cell when all the Androids and the Super-Namekian can do is run was impressive.
Did good to show his character development; really enjoyed the OG DB deep dive.
Super doesn’t exist, 'tis only bad furry-fanfiction.
Thanks for another beautiful DB character analysis. Looking forward to when you get around to Raditz, especially if you include his video game appearances like you did here with our OG boy.
30:52 unrelated but android 21 is both tough as hell and a baddie
Hell yeah!
Tien is definitely one of my top 5 favorite characters for sure 🏆🥇🏆
I'm kinda sad you didn't talk about one of my favorite Tien moments in dragon ball where he runs into that one guy who he beat up years ago in a match while trying to find the dragon balls during the King piccolo saga. the man had gotten permanent injuries and was broke with a wife and kid. He even called the cops on Tien to have him be taken away. Tien got on his knees and asked for forgiveness. The episode was 107 if anyone else is interested in what episode it was. Besides that this video is GREAT!
@@Misscouchpotato- damn that does sound great. I'm sorry, my knowledge on the filler episodes is limited. When I made this video I followed along the manga then found the corresponding episodes. But I'm glad you enjoyed what I did talk about
@@ChitinChazz Yea. That's alright! It's understandable. Especially when it was mostly towards the end of the episode.
After being ascent throughout most of Z and GT I was just happy to see Tien get more screen time in Super even if not done perfectly.
Tien is also my favorite. Everyone is always shocked to hear it.
Tenshinhan has always been up there as one of my favourite characters, ever since I read and watched the original Dragonball. The fight in the final of the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai between him and Goku is one of, if not my absolute favourite fight in the entirety of DB/Z/GT/Super.
He also got one of the coolest moments in all of DBZ when he held second form Cell down with his barrage of Kikoho. Which was made even cooler in the DBZ Abridged version. In fact they did a great job with his character in that in general, where they made Krillin and Yamcha come across as whiny whimps, Ten who's just as strong (or weak) as those two, takes no shit from anyone. Love the way they did the relationship between him and Vegeta lmao.
I loved attack of the saiyans. I wish I knew where my copy of it was. In the TOP both Tien and Krillin got done dirty.
Nappa's and vegeta's boss themes are soooo good in that game. It's a shame it never got a sequel
Tien is such a GOATED character. I love that guy. He never skipped leg a day in the gym.😎
thank you for making a real non-ironic video about Ten-Shin-Han
13:58 when I was a kid I called choutzhu was an emperor and nobody knew wtf I was talking about and I couldn’t find the movie I was referencing, I thought I was Mandela effecting
Its fine I'm in the same boat
I just wish we had more Tien! Always liked him the most.
Man i love that lil Dbfz breakdown you sneaked in 😂
Haha thank you. I could've talked about a lot more, but I didn't want to go on for too long with that section.
I wasn’t expecting a tien guide for fighterz but I’ll take it I didn’t know you could tiger knee the volleyball fist as a tien main I’ll use this on people and friends alike
Remember you can jump cancel any normal on block during sparking, so his stand medium becomes a true 50/50 guess between the volleyball fist or his down medium. Destroy your friends😈
hell yeah, Tien is the fuckin goat
I became a fan of Tien after playing with him and taking down super saiyans in the DBZ CCG. He was underpowered but had a bunch of powerful cards you could synergize with him.
Tien has always been one of my top tier favorite characters. But unless one watches the original dragonball series ( before watching DBZ ), I can understand how one can not be interested in Tien as much. Although he did have some great moments in DBZ. Dragonball really showed Tiens progression before Z. He is truly an interesting character.
Tien is such a underrated character in my opinion.
Tien goated but yamcha my personal fav, i love his attitude during fights and his moves are awesome
Never seen this channel before. Glad that this video is blowing up, I love seeing underrated characters get the shine they deserve. By the way, I paused at 29:34 and I was like “how did I get here, did I already finish the video about Tien?” For a second I thought I clicked on a gaming video and had been watching it for several minutes LoL.
Well if it isn't Chi Tien Chazz making video about the GOAT of Dragon Ball
