1. You get to go super saiyan if you train
2. You live under yellow sun as a kryptonian
NemeBro
Would I live in the real world? I'd pick Kryptonian either way, but living in the real world just makes that even more the case.
qwertyuiop1998
Kryptonian due to its versatile.Especially superintelligence.
StiltmanFTW
Saiyan.
No contest.

you have to live in DC earth where there are other superheroes and villains like you with powers
SquallX
Definitely Kryptonian. We know under a yellow, their life spans are in the hundreds. Not only that, imagine having the Kryptonians techs at your beck and call?
Mindset
Kryptonian.
Powerful without having to do any training.
ShadowFyre
Saiyan because everyone and their mom knows a kryptonians weakness in dc
MrMind
keep in mind even a low level saiyan like raditz>>moon buster
Philosophía
Kryptonian. This is legitimately not even close.

Space cheese, which ultimately does not matter. Especially with saiyans not being able to breath in deep space and dying like flies.
Also, if we go with the space cheese, then Superman can hold tiny ass black holes in his hands, where saiyans need to go super saiyan to toss around 40 tons.

you are literally comparing the top kryptonian to a low level saiyan right now
Superman should be comparing to vegeta and goku
Raditz is more like one of those soldiers from New Kryton storyline
Keep in mind of the kryptonite weakness that can be explored
breathing in space is an issue, but I'm pretty sure DC earth (this thread location) has mask for that, also saiyan tech has ship to fly in space
ShadowFyre
Well, most of yall seem horribly lazy. And I guess most of you are gonna run around fighting crime? With my powers only thing Im gonna do is **** bitches and make money. And beat up people like Batman

'Space cheese' is a pretty useless term used in comic discussions because they see portrayals as just as important if not more than feats. Partly because feats can't be consistent with rotating writers.
Manga don't have that problem. Powerscaling is much easier to do.
If you are a moon buster in comics you can be the villain of the month, able to one shot Thor so Tony and Steve can save the day.
If you are a moon buster in dragon ball nowadays, you are considered fodder.
That being said, would still pick kryptonian.
Damborgson
I'm trying to think of the benefits of being a saiyan...
Increased strength and durability and whatnot. You're not born with flight, ki control, any of that. You need to train vigorously.
You age slightly slower. Remain in your prime longer.
Cons:
You have a goddamn tail. And even if you cut it off, you have a gnarly tail stub poking out your tail bone.
If you don't cut it off, you better watch when you go outside because a full moon will release your giant monkey.
Kryptonian:
Speed, strength, durability, mental quickness, space travel, etc.
Cons: unless you're swimming in red giants, nothing. Except the time youd have to take to adapt to your abilities I suppose.
I would pick Kryptonian.
ShadowFyre
Yeah, im changing mine to kryptonian but I still wouldnt fight crime.
Philosophía
You can also, at any time, if you feel even slightly threatened, go inside the sun for a few minutes and skyrocket tiers .
In the real world, it's even less of a question, given that besides everything a saiyan gives, you'd also have an astronomical level of intelligence, senses, immortality etc.
cdtm
Superman is super all the time.
Passive invulnerability means never having to worry about getting taken down when I have my guard down.
byrdgang21
Kryptonian is my pick under real world circumstances. Essentially all you need to is a yellow sun to access the benefits of being Kryptonian. On the other hand a sayain needs to be pushed physically & mentally under extreme measures & extensive combat & training. Wirh no one that powerful existing in the real world to push me beyond my limits I would never reach my full potential as a saiyan.
BrolyBlack
The only Saijen that would be worth being is Broly, he doesnt have to do shit and is more powerful than anyone based on how mad he gets, other than that Kryptonian by far.
Putinbot1
I wouldn't want to make noises and pull faces like I was having a big shit all the time to get stronger.

Yeah...realistically how often are we going to want to have a near death experience?
One Big Mob
Saiyans have higher ceilings, and you can still exist within the normal world. Kryptonians have to hold back everything just to feel anything. Imagine the only pleasure you have is from your own hand, unless you train extremely hard to interact with normal humans. Talking training your dick to not go down after jizzing levels of concentration and beyond. Everything though, not just boner things. Oops you just put your hand through 30 people by accident. Oops you destroyed a building.
It's the whole thing with Citizen Steel but on a worse realistic level.
That being said, space travel is one of my big dreams. Flying around in suns and shit. Seeing everything space has to offer.
Toughy, but I'd go with Kryptonians. Be better if you could be assured of immense self control of powers tbh.

Kryptonians can amp pretty much to omniversal level.

True, but isn't that after training from early childhood into what, nearly middle-aged adulthood? Same for Goku and Vegeta.
Even the more athletic and/or martial arts inclined of us would struggle to summon that kind of dedication.
Supergirl, on the other hand, was busting moons despite being powerless or asleep in space for most of her life. No effort needed.
Even sticking with the cannon fodder of either race, kryptonians look more appealing. Kryptonians can always take a nap in the sun for more juice. A typical Saiyan would have to train for decades for the same effect.

MrMind
I see, would it change the outcome if you can go SSJ1 already?
I think you can get pretty far in DC earth if you are super saiyan 1
Kryptonians are generally more powerful and more versatile true, but then you gotta watch your ass for kryptonite from all the villains
ghostman
saiyan, due to the versatility of ki.. i dont mind training, i do it everyday anyway
ki can teleport pretty much anywhere
manipulate matter
planet bust
star bust
manipulate time
materialize objects
Rage.Of.Olympus
This depends. Am I an average Kryptonian or Superman? Average Kryptonian's aren't doing anything remotely as cool as flying through Stars or doing interstellar flight.
And are we in the real world or in a comic Universe? In a comic Universe, I'll take being born a Saiyan over Kryptonian. In a few years, you'll go from Yamcha level, to kicking Gods in the face. In the real world, Kryptonian would be more fitting.

Hit won't be able to teach you time manipulation because he isn't in DC. And this is assuming it isn't a natural ability of his species that he has honed, like Guldo's own time stop.
And as for matter manipulation and creation, do we see anyone who isn't some form of divine being make use of those abilities?
MrMind
even if you start as a low level saiyan at let's say Master Roshi level
you are still able to beat 95 percent of below class 100 on DC earth. In real world you be able to rule a country
so you should survive fine
but yeah Saiyans def start out lower than Kryptonians, less abilities
Kryptonians can def live much much longer
I think any SSJ1 and above > being a kryptnian personally
Stoic
I would rather be Superman than Goku, but I'd rather be a Sayin than an average locked at base level Kryptonian. Sayin's keep growing more powerful with time done in battle. I'd just train to tear down mountains, and before you knew it, I'd be one shot killing base level Kryptonian's. Kryptonian people are dependant on the sun, while Sayin people have no dependencies. This means that in many situations, Sayins are vastly more powerful than Kryptonian people.
celeyhyga17

You have a hyperbolic time chamber to train that much

Stoic has a hyperbaric fart chamber to train in right now. His stamina breathing pure farts is better than most people breathing air.

Yes, they are. Superman was operating below base Kryptonian level most of his career pre OWAW.
Supergirl was a 16 year old girl and she was above base level Superman, who was taught to suppress his power.
MrMind
the gap between top kryptonians like superman, zod, to average kryptonians is miniscule comparing to the gap between Vegita, Goku and average Saiyans which is astronomical
Galan007
I assume the Saiyan abilities also come with a tail, right? Aside from the fact that Saiyan tails can be an extremely exploitable weakness, you'd also be f*cked if you inadvertently glanced at a full moon.
...And not just f*cked because you'd turn into a berserker Great Ape, but also f*cked because one of the other heroes/villains on DC earth would likely have to kill you in order to stop your rampaging.
Bentley
Kryptonians have hyper senses. The only way Saiyans would amount to anything is if you spend your life fighting. I could probably develop super tech using super speed too and handle most threats indirectly.

A wide range phantom zone projector would stop literally every threat from Dragon Ball.
Even Zeno. It turns you into an immaterial ghost, that has no power (Bendis doesn't understand how the Zone works.)

Then surely you'd want to have the base abilities of a Kryp right off the bat to speed you along the way?
Without the need for additional training.

I'm frankly not sure how strong I'd rate an average Kryptonian compared to Superman, but if the difference is relatively minor? Yeah Kryptonian all the way.

It was stated in the RoF anime that Vegeta reached SSG(and beyond) just through good 'ol fashioned training... Not that it matters, as Vegeta only reached that state AFTER seeing Goku reach it first, and he was also training with f*cking Whis.
No way in hell you'll convince me that anyone here would be able to achieve that level of power alone. The only one with the training know-how to do something like that was Brucie(god rest his soul.)
NemeBro
It's not fair, Vegeta works his ass off and achieves godhood through training, while retard Goku gets handed it and is stronger.

Goku's a dick.

Which makes no sense, since we were told multiple saiyans had to bestow one with their powers.
I hated that retcon though.
Galan007
I'm also curious how those who are choosing to be a Saiyan plan on achieving these absurd levels of power? What are you going to do to get that powerful -- strap on a weight vest and do some pushups?
Maybe you're planning on one of the heroes or villains on DC earth beating you to the brink of death so you can zenkai? If so, bear in mind that there are no senzu beans here. If someone beats you that severely, you're going to spend the next several months in traction healing said injuries before you can 'train' again. What a shit way to gain power... I'll take just passively absorbing sunlight.

DarkSaint85
Even with 'generic' Kryptonian powers, one can still fly into orbit. Then without the ozone layer, essentially get a sunamp. Hell, if UV rays are all that's needed, just grab a dozen large mirrors to reflect upon yourself, fly to the North Pole and sunamp in that fashion.
Or just fly to Spain and sit here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power
You'll be Superman levels in no time. And from there, really it's just a snowball effect.
SquallX
Kryptonian tech widen the gap even worse. Imagine your own Phantom Xone Projector? or million copies of your robot selves? or better yet, your own Sun Eater?
Prof. T.C McAbe
Kryptonian, stronger, faster, body and brain.
Magnificent M
Kryptonian, no silly hair to deal with.

We don't know for sure Vegeta got it through training, though. I mean, did they show him powering up for the first time in training?
They could have had another Saiyan powwow off panel.

Goku stated that Vegeta attained god-tier power on his own, without a ritual:

But again, he only did that AFTER he saw Goku do it first, and AFTER he'd been training extensively with Whis. Prior to that, he was solidly capped at SSJ2.

with all the injuries theyve gotten in the series siayans must have some kind of healing factor. so if you could heal at increased rate it wouldnt be too bad.
Galan007
Lol, that's not true at all. There's a reason why the Saiyans constantly need to eat senzu beans or have someone heal them with esoteric powers in order to quickly recover. Their 'healing factors' are about the same as an average human's, tbh.
For example, in the wake of his battle with Vegeta during the Saiyan saga, it would have taken Goku at least 4 MONTHS to heal from the injuries he sustained(and that's with all the advanced Capsule Corp. tech available on DB earth)... And he may not have ever got back to 'normal' again:
https://i.imgur.com/0odoBzR.jpg
So unless you manage to team-up with someone who has the means to rapidly heal you on DC earth, the Saiyan path to power would be a VERY long(and likely painful) road. Don't know why you'd choose that when you could attain MUCH greater levels of power as a Kryptonian, just by walking to the park on a sunny day.
DarkSaint85
Kryps also have a HF, btw.

I would love seeing all our KMC Legendary Super Saiyans train for like 2 weeks and give up realizing how hard it is.
No one here would even last doing the routines of real life professional athletes, but folks expect to train like Goku?
The rest of us will chill in the sun, watching with our telescopic vision and making bets on who drops first.
MrMind
I forgot how ridiculous Krytonians really are. When in doubt, they can just dive into the sun and then shitstomp everyone. Surprised Superman or Supergirl doesn't use that tactic more often.
Hyperion Prime
A Saiyan without a doubt. I love the planet buster attacks.
Damborgson
Hyperion Prime, wow it's been a while.
shadowknight
The answer is obvious Kryptonian. Just having SM lvl Superspeed alone would make you a beast, able to defeat 99% of your foes b4 their synaps can fire. Add Hulk lvl SS and Invulnerabilty and you become a neargod. Lets not forget Healing Factor that lets you heal from any wound in seconds to minutes and a lifespan estimated to be anywhere from 1000 yrs to Imortality as long as there's a yellow sun near you. I won't even go into enhenence senses, genius lvl intelligence and Kryptonian tech that light yrs ahead of anything on Earth.
As for the Sayan abilities while impressive they pale in comparison, and to be honest with your Kryptonian abilities you could easily invent something to give you similar abilities or travel all over the Universe learn MA and duplicate most of them anyway. Finally why in Earth you'd need to, for the most part exect for maybe the EB and turning into a Giant gorilla there's nothing they do you can't easily surpass.

Vegeta is for Z fans
for us who read OG Dragon Ball as a kid, Goku is still number 1 followed by Krillin, Bulma and Roshi

You know what I always wondered about the latter part of DBZ and now DBS? Dendi lives on Earth and they have free access to the guy. So when there's advanced notice about some uber bad guy, why the Hell do they all bother training? Remember when shit was going down on Namek, so Vegeta had Krillin blast him damn near to death and then they had Dendi heal him for quick powerup? Well why don't they just do that shit over and over again? "OMG there's only 2 days till the tournament!"... seems like Dendi could accomplish quite a bit in that amount of time. Hell they could have been at SS3 levels before the Cell games even started.
