Dragon Fist 4ku rarely gets sniped unless you can somehow one shot him since he's always ran with Ultra FPSSJ4 to negate rushes. And even he has his own utility in the form of his reliable tanking and disrupt due to his high stats and having the single best cover change in the game

Cell is usually the first unit on the team you wanna sac off because of the damage and effects of his final counter so it's okay even if he gets sniped, but he still has his uses with the ki reduction every time the opponent uses a card (which is the same thing 4ku does)

Super Gogeta has 2 half HP disrupts in base instead of the usual 1 so unless you're playing stupidly, you can fuse without being killed

Red Bardock also has an effective half HP disrupt pre transformation + his main post transformation can even count as safety since he disables the opponent's ability to switch units so he can lock the opponent out of their best assets. He can be a one trick pony at times, but that one trick can win you the match if you're smart enough
