Does Goku have a more sensitive nose than humans? Because if he does, I can see that giving him some trouble but ultimately he'd win.

Jackie Chun stomps.

This could go either way. I remember Krillin being, at the very least, somewhat of a pervert like Roshi so if Ranfan's antics get to him, I could see him losing this one.

Yamcha's screwed.

The Yamcha luck should have him lose by default but I'm gonna throw him a bone and say he'd beat Chiaotzu.

Tien wins with some difficulty.

Goku owns Jackie.

Manwolf.

Didn't these two fight in the series and Krillin lost?

Tough to say but I think Shen would still win but with a good deal of effort needed on his part.

Goku wins, obviously.

Cyborg Tao with some difficulty. Chi-Chi's no push over but I don't see her beating Tao.
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.

21st Tenkaichi Budokai

Goku vs. Bacterian

Nam vs. Jackie Chun

Krillin vs. Ranfan

Yamcha vs. Giran
Quarter Finals:
- Goku's nose is nearly as sensitive as a dog's, so he struggles a lot more than Kuririn does. Even so, I can't see Goku losing this one.
- Namu puts up an impressive display but ultimately loses to Jackie Chun.
- Kuririn's a perv, so I could see him losing to Lanfan. On the other hand, I don't like seeing gimmick fighters win. Eh coin flip says Kuririn wins.
- Yamcha surpasses Giran in outright ability but succumbs to his Guru Guru Gum.

Semi Finals:
- Goku and Jackie give us the match of the day, but because it happens earlier in the day, there's no moon out for Goku to transform with and he succumbs to the Bankoku Bikkuri Sho.
- Kuririn, having seen Giran's Guru Guru Gum in action, knows to avoid it and takes out the wannabe Kaiju easily.

Finals:
- Jackie is too tired to Kamehameha his way back into the ring after falling for Kuririn's panty ploy. Kuririn wins the tournament.
22nd Tenkaichi Budokai

Yamcha vs. Chiaotzu

Krillin vs. Tien

Goku vs. Jackie Chun

Manwolf vs. Pamput
Quarter Finals:
- Both Yamcha and Chaozu suck, but Yamcha sucks less. He wins
- Kuririn gets beaten up just as badly as Yamcha. Goku is even angrier.
- Goku and Jackie have a good match before Jackie forfiets, knowing that the next generation isn't gonna get complacent. Goku is dissappointed that they didn't get to finish.
- Panputto looked a bit more impressive, so he wins. Manwolf attacks Jackie anyways. Since Kuririn is in the hospital, Jackie just knocks him out.

Semi Finals
- Same as the manga's version of the fight.
- Goku takes out Panputto just like in the manga.

Finals:
- Goku vs Tenshinhan goes mostly the same, but with Goku even angrier over botj Kuririn's and Yamcha's defeat and Ten not having same doubts he did in the actual match, since he never fought Jackie. `Nother coin flip. Goku wins.
23rd Tenkaichi Budokai

Krillin vs. Piccolo

Tien vs. Shen

Goku vs. Yamcha

Cyborg Tao vs. Tokumei Kibou
Quarter Finals:
- Kuririn vs Piccolo goes exactly the same as in the series.
- Tenshinhan puts up a respectble fight against God-in-disguise but loses all the same.
- Goku doesn't even need to remove his weights for this.
- Taopaipai beats who I can only assume is Chichi in a brutal fashion.

Semi Finals:
- Piccolo vs Shen plays out just like last time.
- Goku slaps Tao around like nothing.

Finals:
- Goku wins.

- Broly's more-or-less on par with Regular Perfect Cell. Both SS2 Goku and Super Cell could handle him on his own.
- Too many guys for Vegeta to handle at once in hand-to-hand. Vegeta may be able to take them all out with long range Ki blasts, but it ain't gonna be easy.
- Even God would succumb to that many fighters of that strength. Popo does the bulk of the work, though.
- Kaioshin-on-Boo absorbtion is screwy, and Boo #2 loses half of his power thanks to Kibitoshin's ineptitude. Gohan Boo wins.
- Nope. Vegetto is still too stong and skilled for Boo to overcome.
- Post ROSAT Trunks and pre ROSAT Goten and Trunks only manage to get up to CG Piccolo. Base Gotenks doesn't even clear the first set.

Pure Boo and SS3 Gotenks should be switched. Frost clears up to Fat Boo and maybe Pure Boo but falls to everyone else.

Interesting speculation.

I was always under the impression that GT Frieza was at least a few notches above Rild, who was stated to be stronger than some unspecified form of Buu (likely Kid Buu). If Base Rild was in fact above Kid Buu, Final Form Rild could very well be inching towards Buuhan or at the very least Buutenks in my opinion. I guess the incarnation of Buu Rild was compared to is a major variable here.

As for Piccolo, it's pretty clear that he was at least several tiers above the strongest contenders of hell, as he expressed no concern whatsoever about guarding the place.

Contrary to what many fans may think, I'm inclined to believe that Frieza stood a few tiers higher than Cell, as the latter resorted to cheap tactics like the Solar Flare and absorption while the former actually rushed in and gave their opposition some degree of trouble (once with an array of ki blasts and the second time during hand to hand combat).

I'm really interested in what you have to say, but I typically adhere to the following:

Piccolo > Frieza > Cell > Buuhan > Final Form Rild > Super Buu = Second Form Rild > Base Rild > Kid Buu > SSJ3 Goku (Buu arc)

Either one of them could easily defeat Gohan-Boo individually, while I think SS Vegetto could defeat the both of them even teamed up. I agree with Piccolo > Freeza > Rild, though I have Rild even stronger than Ultimate Gohan at the very least as he beat GT Base Gohan with moderate ease.

Even if Vegetto held a slight advantage in strength, the duo's collaboration and unique arsenal of skills would prove to be quite daunting in my opinion; Piccolo's tactical prowess in conjunction with Frieza's ability to execute an array of acrobatically-superior movements would definitely pack a punch to say the least. But yeah, I agree, either Piccolo or Frieza individually would roast anyone under SSJ Vegetto without batting an eye.

How would you compare Cell and Frieza? Does my theory on Frieza > Cell hold any validity in your opinion?

That is a fair opinion, though I have quite a gap between Freeza and Vegetto; enough for the latter to defeat the former with a single blow. So even if Piccolo alone was closing in on Vegetto, I don't think Freeza would be strong enough to offer enough support to tip the tide in Green Man's favor.
supercat wrote:How would you compare Cell and Frieza? Does my theory on Frieza > Cell hold any validity in your opinion?
It does, though I don't agree with it. I'd be willing to place them as equals at most, though I prefer to think Cell still holds the edge due to status quo.

This is getting pretty silly. Tagoma, after powering up, got his ass kicked by an SS Gohan who was by all implications weaker than the one from the beginning of the Buu arc. He gets wiped out immediately by the very first opponent he faces.

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.

Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. 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.
