That requires seeing one in action though. Kuririn, Ginyu and Korin all saw the characters they gauged fighting and had a estimation. Beerus only poked Goku.ZombieVito wrote: You can still feel a close approximation of a fighters power even while they are suppressed if you are skilled enough.
Kuririn, Ginyu and Korin did it.
Gohan flat out tells them Tagoma is on par with him at the beginning of E22. Piccolo still decides to fight alone and weighted. It's obviously that:
SS Gohan > Ginyu > Tagoma >> Piccolo >>>> Tagoma (Gohan's estimate) ~ Base Gohan.
Pretty clear in the episode IMO.
That's true. I've just watched the episode and Gohan does tell the others Tagoma is probably on pair with him. Though it might be the case Piccolo was underestimating Tagoma (He also underestimated Raditz and the Anime features him dashing on Dabra despite the fact he's obviously outmatched) given how the majority of the evidence points toward Gohan being stronger than Piccolo. Gohan even asks Piccolo and the others to step down twice when he's about to fight (Once when he's about to fight Shisami, the other when he's about to fight Ginyu), what implies he's the strongest of the Z Fighters.
