Team U7 Character Strength Predictions

Post by Krillin1994 » Sat Apr 08, 2017 9:28 pm

Although we do have the power level thread, I feel like it'd be cool to have a thread where people can predict Team U7 strength from weakest to strongest and generaly discuss the chosen fighters.

My Predictions from weakest to strongest

Roshi - Hopefully he has a few interesting moves to showcase.
Tien - Hopefully He will be able to bring out his ki way beyond his limits for a new Kikoho though

(Though who knows with Super's scaling these 2 may power up loads from the dojo)

Krillin
18 - A lot stronger than Krillin, but will be hindered by keeping an eye out for him I feel

Buu - I would have placed Buu above Piccolo but I fear that he's gonna nap for 30+ hours now and lose his gains or even miss the tournament.
Piccolo - It's hard to gauge how strong he is. He's not made any new moves for a long time
Vegeta -If Goku Krillin and Gohan get weaker from not training then Bulma's pregnancy has made Vegeta drop a tier here

Gohan - His training will let him get his old form back, and I see him getting a rage boost at some point in the tournament thinking of losing Pan
17 - It seems that his hype looks to be justified and he's SSB Tier - Goku is excited to find somebody so strong in U7
Goku - Main Character no doubt he's strongest.

They'll all be between plot and BS tier.

OK, more serious answer.
I think it'll be Goku> Vegeta > 18 > Gohan > buu > Piccolo> 18> Krillin> Tien > Roshi, but who knows super don't play no games, and doesn't pull any punches.

Yep. That's exactly how I would rank them.

Opps. I did mean 17, but who knows maybe 18 will get a power up too.

17 - It seems that his hype looks to be justified and he's SSB Tier
Meaning Super saiyan 4 > Super saiyan blue. Unless 17 > Super 17...

1) Goku
2) Vegeta
3) Buu
4) Gohan
5) Android 17
6) Android 18
7) Piccolo (Only because every shot I've seen of Piccolo is him training Gohan. Piccolo was actually showing good strategy against U6 in the Champa arc like Krillin did now but I guess they're not going to build off of that. I think Piccolo can surpass 17 & 18.)
8.) Tien
9) Krillin
10) Master Roshi
"Gohan, let it go. It is not a sin to fight for the right cause. There are those who words alone will not reach. Cell is such a being. I know how you feel Gohan, you are gentle, you do not like to hurt. I know because I too have learned these feelings. But it is because you cherish life that you must protect it. Please drop your restraints. Protect the life I once loved. You have the strength, my scanners sensed it..." -Android 16

Goku
Vegeta
Gohan
17
Buu
Piccolo
18
Krillin
Tien
Roshi

I will keep gohan and Vegeta at equal during the span of the tournament but that's too much to say without proof, so this is what I go with now

If Gohan returns to his Ultimate tier power, there is no way any of the Androids can even compete with him.

Goku > Vegeta > Gohan > Buu > Piccolo > 17 > 18 > Tien > Kuririn > Roshi

Right now I think it will be:

1 - Goku
2 - Vegeta
3 - C17
4 - Gohan
5 - Majin Buu
6 - Piccolo
7 - C18
8 - Krillin
9 - Tenshinan
10 - Muten

That is when the tournament starts. We know the Saiyans could power-up during the tournament, especially Gohan.

Everyone putting Gohan at 3 is perplexing me. I guess it's possible, but Gohan's despite having all that potential is one of few Characters in super who has not jumped up the tier list at crazy speed.

Definitely, Piccolo and 17 are probably already stronger. Buu is getting there and Gohan's is yet to come.

1. Vegeta/ Goku - Vegeta is being slept on but I feel he'll do really well, even without great amounts of training. Goku is Goku, so I expect him to be top tier, whilst the others are weaker.
2. Gohan - he hasn't had his big moment yet in Super...Lavender although imo he won, was declared a draw by the Grand Priest so I can't wait to see him in the tournament. Really needs to overcome the 'goes blind, loses all powers and senses' weakness by the tournament. And he is getting back his Ultimate, which considering how strong everyone is now, will have crazy gains.
3. Piccolo / 17 - Piccolo is in the same situation as Vegeta and I feel he will really bring it this tournament. 17 is being really hyped up, smarter than Buu so he'll do well and apparently SSB Tier if bothered :lol:
4. Buu - awesome fighter, completely unpredictable.
5. Krillin / 18 - really close here, so I'm not sure.
6. Tien - new dojo hype, but no convincing training episodes and rare appearances throughout Super unfortunately...
7. Roshi - has lots of techniques and is a genius but he can't keep up with everyone nowadays + his weakness for female fighters may be exploited..

Vegeta = Goku > Gohan > > Piccolo = 17 > Buu > Krillin => 18 > Tien > Roshi
*but 17 could go above Gohan and into the oh-so-special 'God Tier". But Goku is bestest, and most strongest, so I doubt Toei and Toriyama will allow it :) .
