@Xan the G- Coughs -
Well Vegeta wasn't there on Dbz to make the enemies look tougher. The guy was the second main protagonist and as such, only the main antagonists of each arc were capable of beating him. Plus on Dbz, there was no need for someone to get their hides handled to them in order to make the bad guys look stronger since just about everyone had the same beating in that regard. For example:
Nail vs Frieza = Frieza
Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo and Vegeta vs Frieza = Frieza
Powered up Vegeta vs. Frieza = Frieza
Goku powered up(Dude was using Kaio Ken for most of the fight just to take Frieza's hits) vs Frieza = Frieza
Super Saiyan Goku vs Frieza = Goku(After a long a$$ fight)
If anything, Nail, Android 16 and Dabura would have been the cattle fighter characters that you'd be looking for. Now if you still believe that then well you are indeed entitled to have your opinion.
@Crimson RavenDude...Dude...Dude, how do you write a post but lose the energy to finish it? You probably should listen to an assortment of anime osts to help put you in the mood. Hope that helps ^-^
Also I'm going to get a post up by the end of today.
