If the Super Saiyan transformation never existed would you be happy with having the Great Ape transformation as a Saiyans ultimate transformation?

Would the show be as good?

If you had to choose between one or the other which would it be?

Neat question. I think the show could be just as good with just Great Ape as the saiyan's ultimate transformation. Without super saiyan, humans could still be relevant in the later sagas and Goku could still use kaioken.

I really liked this answers, would have been a brilliant idea.

Vegeta says a line after returning to one of Frieza's worlds after the fight with Goku and the others on Earth, and is healed in a healing tank, a doctor alien tells him that he has been restored but his tail hasnt. Vegeta replies expectanlty and in a casual manner, that it will grow back.

Of course it doesnt, instead his body has entered into the evolution to Super Saiyan (theory). It would have been cool to see him and Gohan still retain their tails and see the series continue in a different light, without relying so heavily on the Super Saiyan power upgrade.

Would have changed the original storylines a lot, maybe if they had made it so only Goku becamse a Super Saiyan, but there is a dire consequence to using it.
Sort of opens up a lot of windows.

I prefer Super Saiya-jin still, I just don't like the other 2 as much (SSJ2, SSJ3). I think the manga/anime would be fine with just one transformation.

In terms of secondary characters being more relevant, I'd be all for saiya-jins having the super transformation, Piccolo being a Super Namekku-seijin and the earthlings learning Kaioken, but that's another topic I guess.
Every villain is the hero of their own story.

If there was just a great ape transformation, then i think dbz would lose so many epic moments.
i do agree that humans would be more relevant, but still.

I'd prefer Super Saiyan. Vegeta's the only one who can control his Oozaru form so every time someone went Oozaru it would turn into yet another "Good guys have to cut off his tail/blow up the moon" kind of thing.

Even if the Oozaru's were all controllable I'd still say Super Saiyan since Oozaru's don't make for good hand-to-hand combat, we wouldn't get awesome fights such as Goku vs Cell.

it would get repetitive, unlike super saiyan were they can ascend.

Imagine a Great Ape Kaio-Ken! If Goku ever got to control himself as a Great Ape he could easily have 100x normal power level with a Kaio-Ken x10, or 200x with a Kaio-Ken x20!

If Super Saiyan stopped at the first level, then I'd be OK with that. But as it stands, there are 3 canon levels and two sub-levels, so kind of meh on that. Oozaru never got old to me, though.

Haha. I dont think Oozaru's appearance would be as what you make it bro.

I mean, it surely has to do with increasin stamina faster speed as opposed to Great Ape 3 with bangs etc...
