So for the gap between SSJ Vegetto and SSJ3 Gotenks to be that large, when Gotenks is in a form of SSJ 2 levels higher than would yield an 8x boost, it should be obvious that Goku/Vegeta are MUCH stronger than Goten/Trunks. The gap should be substantial between them.

From the Daizenshuu we know his base is over 400 times stronger than Goku or Vegeta's and from GT statements, we've got a rough idea for how big of an increase the fusion dance gives you by comparing Gogeta to Goku. They say Gogeta is "tens of times" stronger than Goku which is already substantially less than Vegetto's even if you high balled the dance and low balled the potara.

Re: Metamoran Fusion Formula
This is already evolved a bit as its own thread, but in the future, please use the dedicated fan-made power levels thread for discussions like this. "Formulas" for stuff like Fusion definitely count as part of that.
That said... I don't think there even is any one "formula" you can use to predict a Fusion's power just by plugging in the power levels of the two individuals. We've certainly never been given such a formula, or anything more than some guidebooks making note of specific Fusions ending up "several times" or "many tens of times" stronger than the parts. It seems to me like it has a lot more to do with the individuals' specific qualities and compatibility.

We still are given little indication that the kids are that close to their fathers. Especially since SSJ Goten/Trunks had trouble with 18 in the Mighty Mask suit. Had that been either of their fathers, their SSJ forms would have one shot 18 without a problem.
Of course, making sense of the Buu arc is always hard given the train wreck scaling that it employs. It's inconsistency is only outdone by filler and GT.

The boys should at bare minimum be as strong as Grade 2 Vegeta when he beat up Semi-Perfect Cell in SS but are likely higher. We also know from the Yo Son Goku manga they can one shot guys stronger than first form Freeza from Namek in Base.

The fact that they didn't feel comfortable with their chances without using ki blasts speaks volumes. Had that been Goku or Vegeta they would have one punched her as SSJs even heavily suppressed.

El Manga Legendario page about Vegetto
Spoiler:
"In Dragon Ball the rivals are getting stronger, but as far as combat strength is concerned, none is as strong as Super Vegetto. The fusion with Potara earrings not only increases combat strength, but also enhances other abilities. That is why he allows himself the luxury of treating Buu after absorbing Gohan as if he were a child. Goku and Vegeta have a very high combat strength, but they are also very aware that they are rivals. Especially Vegeta, the one who was once the prince of the Saiyans. That rivalry between the two served to further increase Vegetto's strength. If Goku and Gohan had merged, they probably would not have reached such a level."
So yes, Rival Boost is real.
Thankfully the Daizenshuu provides a great nugget of information about Trunks' strength against 18:PFM18 wrote:Doctor. wrote:PFM18 wrote:Especially since SSJ Goten/Trunks had trouble with 18 in the Mighty Mask suit.

Trunks
"He has surprising power for a child, including being able to transform into a Super Saiyan without even training, and managing to hit his father Vegeta once." -Daizenshuu 2, p.120-121
"At the Youth Division of the 25th Tenkaichi Budoukai, he defeated Goten and won the championship. He and Goten then participated in the Adult Division as Mighty Mask, demonstrating strength on par with No. 18's, until she managed to see through their disguise." -Daizenshuu 4, p.123-124
Strength on par with 18, until she saw through their disguise. Tell me, when did she see through their disguise? When they turned SSJ. In other words:
"Trunks and Goten then participated in the Adult Division as Mighty Mask, demonstrating strength on par with No. 18's, until she managed to see through their disguise saw them become Super Saiyans."
"Trunks and Goten demonstrated strength on par with No. 18's, until she managed to see through their disguise they became Super Saiyans."
"Trunks and Goten demonstrated strength on par with No. 18's until they became Super Saiyans.
"Trunks and Goten demonstrated strength on par with No. 18's until they became Super Saiyans in their normal state."
Trunks and Goten in base form are on par with Android 18, confirmed.

So yes, Rival Boost is real.
quoting a friend discussing the matter:
"Rival boost" is a made-up thing by fans. It actually was a mistranslation and misinterpretation of what the Elder Kaioshin stated. A separate interview from Toriyama about fusion clarified that only size and power are factors that determine the output of a fusion. The actual Viz translation for that chapter showed that Elder Kaioshin stated that Goku and Vegeta live to outdo each other and this helps them sustain similar battle powers. It's not that the fact they are "rivals" that automatically makes them stronger. Rivalry helps them close the power gap. That's all. You don't have to be rivals to get a magical boost.

You don't need to be a Seth fanboy to accept that guide. I think you are having an emotional reaction.

Re: Metamoran Fusion Formula
Oh Jesus Christ, that video game has mecha freeza at 14 million, and Super Saiyan Goku androids saga at 20 million. Obviously the game designers simply didn't want to bloat the power scale and used nerfed multipliers. You can't take it as fact. Also it does not say the FUSION SSJ multiplier is 2.5x, but 2.5x for ALL SAIYANS. You can't call that valid. The multipliers in that game are entirely for gameplay purposes only, nothing more.Grand Marshal 1 wrote:Technically it is not an official source, rather I have calculated that on my own.
