From what I'm reading a lot of the characters are getting dumbed down. GOATKU was never dumb when it came to combat either. He was socially ignorant but a prodigy when it came to martial arts. That seems to be an inate Saiyan ability so me reading about him and Vegeta flubbing fights like Hercule has me likeVegeta didn't used to be a stupid fighter. In fact Vegeta was second only to Piccolo in terms of strategy. I can't remember the last time Vegeta did something clever to win a fight.
