Goku Battle Arena or GBA is a RubberWorm scheme in which the core weapon is Dragon Ball, being possible to attack multiple times with the energy balls due to the multishot feature and the lower gravity that increases the time and the distances of the jumps. There are some few other unlimited weapons such as the Jet Pack with only 5 fuel, Bungee (it is not known if Bungee from Jet Pack is intentional) and the Parachute, all being useful to navigate through the map with better precision. There is also infinite Pneumatic Drill that may sometimes be a better choice to plop enemy worms. The battle concept is about throwing the opponent's worms outside the arena (drowning them), or dealing damage to them, even though the inicial health is high and there are several Health Crates that cure 15 HP each. The scheme should be played with 150% speed (typing /150 at lobby or at Game Engine Speed row on "Gameplay 1" section in extended game options if v3.8 before the game starts) and has 40 seconds of turn time.
The name of the scheme is probably a reference to Dragon Ball in which the protagonist, Goku, often attacks with energy balls and fights in martial arts tournaments where participants who fall outside the ring are disqualified.
History
The scheme was uploaded on TUS on 22th January 2020 by TOMT and the map on the following day by the same player, the author of the scheme. Note that a very similar concept has been thought by angus in 2011.
