Nappa and Vegeta arrived later?

[Captain Cadaver]

They arrived about 1 month earlier than expected in the main timeline. How would things be affected if they arrived one month later? Would Goku and the rest have gained any additional power capable of changing the tide of battle? Would Goku have arrived on time to face them?

 

[Fantastische Hure]

They would have still not been a match for Nappa or Vegeta. Kurirn for one thought his potential was already almost maxed-out anyway.

We all agree the fighters on earth would barely improve, right? Maybe Yamcha would be strong enough to kill that Saibaman.

I doubt Goku would get stronger. Most of his training was to learn Kaioken and Spirit Bomb, and most of his power boost was due to the gravity. Maybe he'd got a tiny bit stronger, but things would most likely go the same.

Nobody dies. Movies 2, 3 and 4 happen. Androids screw everybody.

 

[Jeff Styles]

Going by their gains within 11 months, Yamcha would probably be able to kill the Saibaman.

As for Goku arriving on time, North Kaio knew when Nappa and Vegeta would arrive, but he still forgot Goku has to get past through Snake Way, so that part wouldn't really change.

 

[Future Warrior]

Events would play out the exact same way imo. Earth's heroes wouldn't improve much, except for maybe Goku. He'll probably have somewhat of an easier time defeating Vegeta.

Do you think he'd have been able to handle Kaioken x3 and 4 any better, thus potentially changing the battle against Vegeta?

Kaio treated Kaioken x3 as a big deal Goku would never reach, so i dunno.
