Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
SSB Vegetto being compared to Beerus also debunks your theory. Even if for some reason you nerf the fusion it being simply a 10/11 when it's parts are two sixes makes no sense.RandomGuy96 wrote:I'm not talking log, but linear.

The BoG and FnF lines where abandoned in every medium, clearly Mr. Toriyama didn't thought we'd have a new show.

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
What makes you think it was "surprisingly little" is it because of Piccolo thinking Vegeta isn't much stronger than Kid Gohan?RandomGuy96 wrote:This is close to what I think the aforementioned training gap implies (plus, as noted, Vegeta spending a year in the ROSAT and "only" coming out with a way to maintain SSB's power instead of a huge power-up). Only, instead of them simply not powering up at all, their power-ups just become so incremental as to be negligible. Vegeta training for five years between Freeza and the Androids and going from 2 million to 5 million is a huge deal; Vegeta training for 5 years between Buu and Beerus and going from 75 million to 78 million isn't worth mentioning. Thus, any notable new gains come from obtaining or mastering forms. This would be why CSSB Goku is exactly equal to CSSB Vegeta at the ToP despite the former doing no training and the latter having 6 months in the ROSAT + 2 years of additional training in the gap.
This ties in well with Babidi drawing out Vegeta's power "beyond its limits" back in the Buu arc (and it doing surprisingly little) and Goku noting that he's close to his limit in the Cell arc and justifying not taking another ROSAT trip on those grounds (Afterlife training presumably let him go farther, but he still only equals limits-broken Vegeta in the same form).
This is actually making me wonder... in the Super outline, do you think the 6/10/15 scale from BOG and ROF is still in place? As far as I can see nothing actually contradicts it in the manga except for that brief Beerus vs CSSB Vegeta sparring match, and a lot of stuff supports it being present (like Iwne noting that SSG Goku was GoD-tier, GoD Toppo being equal to CSSB Vegeta after he activates his god ki, or Toriyama's outline stating that two SSBs could overwhelm Fused Zamasu without his immortality).
And i don't think the 6/10/15 scale still applies. Mind you Base Vegetto blows Blue Goku/Vegeta out of the water but was barely stronger than SSJB Vegetto if at all. Unless you think Vegetto's SSJB multiplier is like, less than 2x.

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Unless Viz provided a bad translation Kaioshin says "Vegetto might be stronger than Beerus". Which puts both powers very close to each other, it's not me guessing. Which would make Beerus much stronger than Goku and Vegeta individually, taking into account the extreme power the potara fusion gave in the Boo Arc.RandomGuy96 wrote:They're only "compared" by Kaioshin saying Vegetto is stronger than Beerus.

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
In the actual statement he wonders if Vegetto is stronger or not ("Could it already be greater than Lord Beerus’s?!"), implying it's too close to tell. Though Kaioshin has never seen Beerus' full power, so he might simply be speculating because of how big Vegetto's Ki is.RandomGuy96 wrote:No, he's just stronger than Beerus.
Beerus getting serious and taking PSSJB Vegeta out like a ragdoll does blurs things a bit when PSSJB is supposed to be a game changer, but you can just don't give a fuck about gaps, i guess.

As I noted, that's pretty much the sole thing contradicting the scale. Everything else seems to fit fine. Though, if not-SSBE Vegeta is still weaker than Beerus after the tournament, that'll be another one.GreatSaiyaman123 wrote: Beerus getting serious and taking PSSJB Vegeta out like a ragdoll does blurs things a bit when PSSJB is supposed to be a game changer, but you can just don't give a fuck about gaps, i guess.

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Weren't you using Kaio being uncertain about Trunks' power to argue he wasn't much stronger than Goku the other day? Why the sudden shift? Those two statements are pretty much the same. Unless you're going with the suggestion i made about Kaioshin being unaware of Beerus' power.RandomGuy96 wrote:Yes, that is you guessing.

He probably will be. I've crafted some numbers for the scenario as of now:RandomGuy96 wrote:As I noted, that's pretty much the sole thing contradicting the scale. Everything else seems to fit fine. Though, if not-SSBE Vegeta is still weaker than Beerus after the tournament, that'll be another one.

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
I never said Kaio's doubts were concrete proof of anything, just that they made an interpretation more likely. In the current discussion, I'm concerned solely about hard facts that could contradict the 6/10/15 scale still being roughly in place.GreatSaiyaman123 wrote:Weren't you using Kaio being uncertain about Trunks' power to argue he wasn't much stronger than Goku the other day? Why the sudden shift?RandomGuy96 wrote:Yes, that is you guessing. That doesn't actually mean anything, again, as far as hard facts go.
Something like that. Maybe you could exploit Toriyama's "right around 6" statement to mean "slightly less than 6"...He probably will be. I've crafted some numbers for the scenario as of now:It sucks.Spoiler:
SSG Goku/Vegeta: 55
SSB Goku/Vegeta: 60
SSR Black: 70
Fused Zamasu: 90
CSSB Goku/Vegeta: 90
Toppo: 90
Beerus: 100
Jiren: 100+
Whis: 150
It helps that the beatdowns in the Zamasu arc can easily be explained by Zamasu/Black getting free refreshes (via Zamasu's healing powers, then fusion, then immortality) while Goku and Vegeta continuously maintain states explicitly stated to drain energy quickly and accumulate damage. It also helps that SSB is apparently not too far below CSSB (SSB Goku can injure Fused Zamasu and Toriyama noted that two SSBs would be "more than enough" to deal with him).

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Would you consider different multipliers for SSJ and its grades or numbered forms based on stats? I decided to depict them like this:
Power = Strength * Agility / Energy, which reads as power being strength as many times the agility divided by energy. It's like the physics formula of Force:
Force = Mass * Change in Velocity / Time, and I compared time to energy due to the latter increasing when it takes from power.
And now the task is to figure the God forms out.Super Saiyan: 50 | 10 | 10 | 2, with power being half of what it could accomplish, should the energy be spared.
Grade II SSJ: 64 | 16 | 16 | 4, notice the power increase from strength and agility, but the energy consumption.
Grade III SSJ: 80 | 80 | 8 | 8, strength being the main reason for its power, with no gains from agility or enregy.
Full Power SSJ: 100 | 10 | 10 | 1, notice how power increased by controlling the energy loss with similar stats.
Super Saiyan 2: 256 | 32 | 32 | 4, the evolution of grade two from another realm by doubling its balanced stats.
Super Saiyan 3: 1'024 | 128 | 128 | 16, the most consuming form is also the strongest and most agile by four fold.
Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

If you're looking for hard facts, then we should ask Herms or someone else what's the original statement.RandomGuy96 wrote:Yes, that is you guessing. That doesn't actually mean anything, again, as far as hard facts go.
I dunno. "Right about 6" seems rather precise to me. Not to mention i find doubtful the notion that two SSJBs can take on Zamasu. The idea came from Toriyama's original draft, that was altered by Toyotaro to accomodate the necessity of a fusion. On Toyotaro's own words:Something like that. Maybe you could exploit Toriyama's "right around 6" statement to mean "slightly less than 6"...
SSG Goku/Vegeta: 55
SSB Goku/Vegeta: 60
SSR Black: 70
Fused Zamasu: 90
CSSB Goku/Vegeta: 90
Toppo: 90
Beerus: 100
Jiren: 100+
Whis: 150
It helps that the beatdowns in the Zamasu arc can easily be explained by Zamasu/Black getting free refreshes (via Zamasu's healing powers, then fusion, then immortality) while Goku and Vegeta continuously maintain states explicitly stated to drain energy quickly and accumulate damage. It also helps that SSB is apparently not too far below CSSB (SSB Goku can injure Fused Zamasu and Toriyama noted that two SSBs would be "more than enough" to deal with him).
But what about SSJBE Vegeta and Pseudo Kaioken SSJB Goku? Like said before, they're probably still weaker than Beerus. Vegetto being multiple times stronger than even Whis seems rather far fetched as well.Toyotaro wrote:Their personalities made any fusion after the Majin Boo arc impossible. However, I wanted to meet the readers’ expectations… And so, I made a scenario where “even if they shouldn’t really fuse, now they have absolutely no choice but to fuse”.

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
When the GT Perfect Files said Gogeta was tens or dozens of times stronger than Goku, does that mean he's anywhere between 10 to 90 times stronger? English isn't my primary language so I don't know what falls under a "tens of times" or "dozens of times".
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Sir, I do not wish to question your authority (you know what is good for this place) but having only one dedicated post for anything related to power levels seems a bit off to me. Power Levels and Power-scaling are a part of our community, so why not promoting the creation of meaningful threads ( I hope that mine where) to improve the relationship between the members? Were there any guidelines-violating behaviours in my posts? I would never make a post with the intention of showing off, I just wanted to listen to the others' opinion. Excuse me if I caused a problem though. I never thought that so many people would be interested in these topics. Also, I know that this is not the place for such a message to be posted, so please read it first and then take it down. Thank you.
