I think Vegeta could at least do some considerable damage to Perfect Cell since Super Perfect Cell had to brace himself to tank Vegeta's attack and showed visible strain while doing so:
I don't think Vegeta was supposed to be any stronger, than he was earlier, so I think Cell would trounce him just as much as he did the first time.

Yeah... Vegeta never got a rage boost in the manga. What he did in BoG is something brand-new.

Well, now that Battle of Gods has introduced the idea of rage boosts for Vegeta, we COULD apply one to the Cell Games instance retroactively if we want (like how Saiyan healing boosts were retroactively applied to early-DB Goku).

But even with that, I don't think it'd make a massive difference. I could see Vegeta's power being somewhere between (SSJ1) Gohan's and Goku's there, which would make Cell uncomfortable and pinch a bit, but not do any lasting or worthwhile damage.

Not really. Goku implied that Vegeta forcibly tried to get stronger against Beerus, which made him use all his power at once. Against Cell, he just attacked with all his might. Besides, he got an over x4 boost in BoG, if Vegeta had gotten the same boost, Cell would be dead.

Well Cell showed visible strain while tanking Vegeta's attack and SSJ2 Gohan (who had just beaten the day lights out of Perfect Cell) was shocked Cell came out of it unscathed =/
I think Vegeta's attack is one which could indeed damage Perfect Cell at least.

Goku Vs Chaotzu 22nd Budokai

We saw from the Tenshinhan battle that Chaotzu''s psychic powers work on Goku, and I'm not sure if Goku is smart enough to figure out something lie tricking Chaotzu with math.

Plot Goku wins.
Real Reply:

Goku might realize that Chaozu uses his hands so he might say, how old he is. Then say something like "How old was I two years ago?". I can picture Kid Goku doing that. Or Goku moves to fast and Chaozou only attack the after images.

I think goku could win through overwhelming speed, since I remember even Krillin couldn't keep up, or he'd probably try something with Chaotzu's hands. I think he'd figure some type of way to get Chaotzu's hands, but he definitely wouldn't come up with math questions. We might have gotten something silly with after-images and Goku asking him to point to where he is, and each time Chaotzu got it wrong he'd get punched.

21t Budokai Krillin Vs Gyumo

Goku lost to filler Gyumo in the Pilaf arc, so let's use that a canon for this fight.

I can't see Krillin overtaking Roshi's second best student. Not yet.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.

Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Nam vs Bacterian.
Or...
Gilan vs Bacterian.
Who would be the winners in those 2 battles?

Both Nam and Gilan are stronger than Bacterian.
Regarding Bacterian's stench, though, I'd see Nam being able to focus through it, since he is an experienced fighter. He did this against Ran Fan.
I don't know whether Gilan's sense of smell is greater than any normal human being, but I could see him restraining Bacterian with his spit as to him not coming nearer him.
One sinlge kick from Kuririn downed Bacterian, so I'd say that Bacterian isn't that strong.

I'd believe that Gilan and Nam are smart enough to overcome Bacterian's stench, so they would win.

Sounds reasonable, Tullece was surprised at Goku's 30,000 reading on the scouter, and resorted to evading Goku rather than attacking.

Daizenshuu puts Recoome at 45,000 but I think having 3 characters exactly as strong as eachother doesn't make sense. There has to be variation. I have them in the order of 40,000, then Jiece at 45,000, and Burter at like maybe 48,000.

Most power levels up to SSJ Goku and 100% Frieza. After that I don't think they listed any official levels.

Yeah, none of the Ginyu Force members save for Captain Ginyu himself have official battle powers. The trio of Recoome, Butta, And Jheese were all said to have around the same amount of ki, and most people end up figuring them for around 40,000 based on their fights with Vegeta and Goku, who we DO have solid numbers for.
