Quasi-Analysis: Super-TEQ is awesome with Gogeta & 100% LR Goku
Since SSj3 Angel Goku released in Japan, Super-TEQ has viewed by the community as that really fun team that blows shit up... but dies quick due to almost no defensive value. But with a 100% LR Goku being easier to get than every before and SSj4 Gogeta out in the wild, the team hits even harder while having more defensive presence than it ever did before. Take a look.
Rotations:
- SSj3 Goku + SSj3 Gotenks
- SSj3 Goku + SSj4 Gogeta
- Floaters: TEQ Vegito, 100% LR Goku, TEQ Tien
Think about this. SS3 Goku shares OiaF with Gogeta and Gotenks, so everyone starts with 9 Ki minimum. Gotenks doesn't need Ki in the first place and you have a one (maybe two) fusion units floating, so Gogeta won't really need Ki either. This allows you to save TEQ orbs for when LR Goku shows up in rotation every 3 turns, perhaps allowing you to get his Ultra-Super off regularly. With LR Goku's +60k defense and potential system boosting his health regen, you'll get a nice chunk of health back if you can feed him enough orbs.
Sub-Options
- TEQ Tien screws SSj3 Gotenks out of his 11 Ki super, but the +40% ATK & DEF boost is such a large bonus to the rotation that he's probably the best option anyways - both in raw damage and also giving the team more longevity. If screwing Gotenks over bothers you, you can sub out Tien with 2nd Anniversary SS2 Goku -just mind the health restriction.
- The TEQ SSj Gotenks is more viable now, as he provides rainbow orbs for SSj3 Goku on each rotation while activating "The Innocence" link with SSj3 Gotenks. He's a decent option if you don't want to pull for TEQ Tien.
- TEQ has excellent options for a 4th or even 5th offensive unit. 100% LR Goku is the obvious front-runner, but you have other sub options like SS3 Adult Gotenks (JP), TEQ SSB Vegeta, and SS Future Trunks.
- The World Tournament SS Goku has the same character name as LR Goku. A shame since he's a great support unit and nearly as good as TEQ Vegito.
- SSj Bardock is still LR Goku's best friend, but not having LR Goku & Bardock on rotation together (if you still run both) greatly reduces the value of his sealing. Will help you set up LR Goku for regular Ultra-Supers though, and if you don't have Gogeta or a SA10 SS3 Goku, you're absolutely going to want to run him with LR Goku in the main rotation.
There's no calculations to be had here, I'll let Mobileman & Loligami take care of that (don't have time to do it myself). I just wanted to point out that Super-TEQ has gotten markedly better than it was before and have a place to talk about it. The actual calculations for this roster haven't been done yet (AFAIK), but Gotenks is still an optimal unit and 100% LR Goku at SA20 is both a powerful 4th hitter and a decent damage sponge. The only potential flaw I see here is that this team (like most optimal 120% teams) put out so much damage, that you might blow through the boss phases too quickly to set up enough orbs for LR Goku's Ultra-Super.
