It's never used consecutively so I guess it's obvious

It's not effective vs enemies who can sense ki.

They'll be like "Ow you bitch.. My eyes.."

But still know where you are.

If it were me, I'd be spamming Solar Flare and Destructo Disc every time.

But I guess that's not "honorable combat" or whatever.

Destructo Disc stopped mattering when Cell shrugged off a direct hit to the neck.

Im gonna say the risk reward on striking an obvious pose and screaming out that your doing the attack is probably not worth for an "inconvenience" in a magical alien kung fu fight to the death.

That had to be an inconsistent error

Well I think that falls into tropes and semantics

It was Toei filler.

Stupid filler too because Cell could have just regenerated even if it did cut his head off.

You'd figure there would be a way to train and make it stronger. Or just have someone other than Krillin do it. There have been other ass-pulls in the series.

Well at least in Super he gained the ability to spam them.

EDIT:

Ignoring power levels and rule of cool, on paper it would make more sense for Krillin's to be stronger because it takes longer to charge and has more "weight" to it, whereas Frieza's are quick to create and have great mobility.

I would imagine since Frieza > Krillin unless the technique itself has a limit. I'm no DB expert.

I'm guessing it still never really works out? I haven't watched any DBZ in almost 20 years and quit around the early Buu saga. That's why some of what I say may sound ignorant.

Well they immediately go into the last arc, a tournament which has a strict "no killing" rule, severely limiting its use. Plus Krillin was eliminated almost immediately.

Heh. Seems like nothing ever really changes.

And I guess one would have to look at it through a writer's eyes. Maybe you really can't have every story end in the villain getting stunned and shredded to death. Then again...

I was gonna say charge time for destructo disk, but then I remembered fucking spirit bomb. Dumbest move in the series.

Master Roshi lasted longer in the tournament (which to be fair was a massive free for all on a stage that almost immediately got destroyed so there was rubble everywhere to hide in), which really just adds insult to injury.
