SSJ Goku vs 100% Freeza

Post by TheMightyOzaru » Sat Nov 23, 2013 3:55 pm

Why did Freeza fare so well against Goku, despite the 25% gap? We've seen that even the smallest of gaps leave a lot of room to decimate your opponent in the case of Vegeta vs Dodoria and Zarbon. Was Goku holding back or something?

Because battle powers are bullshit.

Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Well, Goku had already taken lots of damage before the transformation, and while transforming into a Super Saiyan restored his power, it didn't heal his body. Also, while Freeza could hit Goku some times, it didn't cause him any noticeable damage.

I just always say Gokuu wants to enjoy the battle to the fullest, taking blows on purpose(maybe). Gokuu was fighting "the strongest in the universe" he let furiza go 100% so he could feel satisfied beating him at his fullest. Look at how the battle ended, Gokuu just defeated him with a energy blast. I think Gokku could have done that the whole time, but wanted a good battle.

No, he wasn't holding back. He was simply going full force and kicking the shit out of Freeza, completely wrecking him while only getting a few cuts and bruises in turn.

Freeza is a skilled fighter perhaps. So is Goku but Freeza should be able to handle his own. Let's not forget that Goku wanted to see what Freeza 100% was made of.

Yeah, I'm starting to think he's purposely tanking hits to see if he can. I mean look at the way he "killed" Freeza. He bitch beamed him with seemingly little effort.

Only if you for some reason believe that power levels are an exact science that work on set percentages, even though the series goes out of its way to show that's not true with stuff like Vegeta tanking the kaio-ken x4 Kamehameha and Dodoria dying from one of Vegeta's generic ki blasts.

In the new BOG movie, how well did Goku do against Beers?

Goku was also at a 16% disadvantage while Beerus wasn't really trying. a 25% difference seems to be a pretty good lead based on other fights in the series.

Because he isn't at 120 million.

In your opinion. I find nothing wrong with the whole 150 million vs 120 million thing so I have no reason to disregard the Daizenshuu. I only ever disregard something the Daizenshuu says IF it's outright contradicted by the manga.

No... Beers being a 10 to Goku's 6 would mean that Goku was at about 85% of Beers strength in that fight, while Freeza was at 80% of Goku's. And- correct me if I'm wrong- Goku didn't really start doing decently against Beers until after he dropped out of his form and lost power (not a lot, but some). How well did base/SS god power Goku do against 70% Beers? Better than 100% Freeza did against 100% Super Saiyan Goku? Did Beers instantly one-shot Goku at 70% power?

Again, that only matters if you think power levels are dependent on exact gaps and percentages, which is crap.

Beerus' full power is a 10. 70% of 10 is 7. the difference between 7 and the 6 Toriyama gave Goku is 16%.

6 is about 85% of 7.

Base/SS Goku with god power is somewhere below 6.

12 is 80% of 15.

There's not a huge difference in gaps here. And again, how well did Goku do? I'm guessing a lot better than Freeza did against him.

Okay. Goku, at some percentage below 85, did okay against Beers despite Beers clearly winning. I'm going to guess it wasn't a total curbstomp?

Because that's what Goku vs Freeza basically was. Freeza landed an energy attack which kept Goku down for a minute and gave him some bruises, plus one or two other hits that only succeeded in busting Goku's lip and pissing him off. So yeah, Freeza got in 2-3 good shots that were comparable to the blows Goku landed on him. He tried to land other hits, but Goku either dodged or tank them. In return, Goku crushes Freeza's hand (causing Freeza to scream in pain), punches him so hard he causes Freeza's ribs to puncture his lung, headbutts him, and lands something like 5-6 punches and kicks, with Freeza bleeding from every other hit. At the end of the fight, Freeza is so crushed that he has trouble even standing up. All that happened in a couple of minutes.

Even though I think SOME of the hits Goku let himself get hit just so see what Freeza could really do. I'm going have to side with Random. TheMightyOzaru you're putting way to much thought into Power levels and gaps between them. The major point is Goku was stronger. Ignore the gaps for a moment. Goku was the better man and it was quite evident. Don't put to much thought into power levels because let's be honest they are useless. It's cool to use them to make comparison or state numbers but to be fair I doubt Toriyama even cared about the gap in every single power levels.
