Virtual Card Set 2012 – A New Android? You are what you eat!

One thing that always bothered me in the original game was how Dr. Gero’s greatest creation, was not considered an Android. I mean, I’ve seen the case made for Frieza (which I whole-heartedly disagree with, since he is not a Gero creation) but Cell really should’ve been an Android. If you’re going to get technical and call him out as not technically being an Android, well then neither is Android 18, Android 17 or my cell phone, despite having Android in the name. He is a creation of Dr. Gero, and that is what defines an Android in this game, and we wanted to finally reflect that.

We took the precedence of Kid Trunks, Teenager to give him an effect that affects the rest of his personality stack. We feel that this gives not only the Cell personality a little more diversity, but the Android archetype as well. As an ally, he’s got a decent attack with a solid effect. As an MP, he opens up the possibility of Namekian and Saiyan Android ally decks. He’s not too shabby in Freestyle or Orange either, fetching you Android Attack Drill or Android 20 Absorbing Drill among some other solid choices. Cell always had some really solid personality levels, but now he can join his Android brethren more properly.

That’s all for Cell in this go around for the Virtual Set. Tune in next week for the final Android card that will give the Androids some real staying power (hint: it’s a drill!)
