Your multiplier for SS is x30 Base right? Like how Toriyama implies it to be during one of those Daizenshuu entries?
30x? Didn't he say 10x? Also, mine is still 50x, just that Goku got demolished so his energy isn't as high as it normally would be.
He said it was 10 times higher than Goku's previous peak or something along those lines, you can infer that to being the KKX20 boost multiplied by 10 or that boost + 10.

The quote is this "My feeling as the creator is that, while drawing it, I felt that it was about a 10-fold change from what it was up to that point."

Of course it doesn't make sense for the Super Saiyan to boost Goku's power by 10, since the Kaioken x10 wasn't enough to match even half of Freeza's power. So some have taken Toriyama's "10-fold change" statement to mean that the Super Saiyan boost is 10 greater than Goku's then biggest power boost, aka the Kaioken x20. 10 + 20 is 30, therefor Super Saiyan is a 30x boost.

I personally don't subscribe to this logic, since a fold change by definition refers to multiplication, not addition. I personally interpret Toriyama's statement as meaning "Super Saiyan is a 50-fold boost, but that's really big and hard to imagine, and as I drew it, it felt like a more modest 10-fold increase."

I wouldn't put too much stock in this, most likely Toriyama just meant it was easier to visualize a 10x increase.

This is my interpretation as well.

Updated my list with new sagas.

To make sense of Goku being so much weaker than Vegeta and to prevent Vegeta's SSJ from greatly inflating the scale, I've arbitrarily decided that rather than being a constant 50x boost SSJ simply boosts your base to 1 million and multiplies that by 5, and if your BP is already higher than it's a simple 5x multiplier.

Now I want to see a list where SS is an x200 boost to Base and with the SEG multipliers for 2 and 3 for the later stuff.

I'd make Kamiccolo a true double boost but his power nearly doubling is fine too. I also believe that Gohan, even with SS1, is noticeably stronger than Goku, not vastly but I'd put him 3-5 mil over his dad.

The problem is I have to keep Base Saiyans below Frieza and they're already getting real close, Gohan himself is already 90% of Frieza.

That is a problem. Maybe upgrading SS1s multiplier for after its mastery then? The series already says Goku & Gohan, by mastering the form, can spend less energy on other things like for transformation & maintaining it, leaving them more energy to use in battle, maybe some of that lets them boost SS1 past its original multiplier?

Sounds good, I could have MSSJ at 1.2x SSJ/6x Base.

Another thing, what about Gotenks? Should I give him reduced multipliers and a really strong base or just stick with the usual multipliers?

Gotenks depends on your stance of his power. Piccolo's comment in the ROSAT could mean Gotenks has reached SS3 Goku tier in Base alone or that he simply got a fair amount stronger. I personally go with the later as it makes the PLs a lot less inflated. I usually keep the multipliers the same and have his Base level around Semi-Perfect Cell.

On the other hand, the whole Base Gotenks (Post) surpassing SSJ Gotenks (Pre) makes a lot more sense if his multipliers are reduced, plus it can help keep the numbers lower.

I have the fusion dance multiplier at (A + B)x5 when the kids first do it and at x10 after they master it in the time chamber, and the potara multiplier at x10. Also, I've reduced SSJ3's multiplier, having it as 2x the previous SSJ state rather than 4x and I have Super Buu only gaining half of his victims' power.

Anyway, here's the list.

You have a 2 hour edit window. After that you cannot edit anymore.

Hmm, it sucks. I wanted to edit some power levels because I realized I made a typo.

If anyone can edit to me, I'd be grateful. It's future Trunks' (age 14) power level. His SSJ is supposed to be 7,700,000 rather than 385,000,000.

Actually you screwed up. The edit function may be gone after 2 hours, but since nobody but you had made another post since then you could have just deleted your power levels post and reuploaded it with the changes :lol:
I can delete my post and the one before that, if you also delete yours. Just send me a pm where you confirm and then I will delete my posts, but we have to be quick before someone else posts in here!

No need for deletion shenanigans, I made the edit. I also took it upon myself to put things into spoiler tags for easier and more compact reading. I'd recommend doing so when posting long lists directly into the thread. :thumbup:

I'd either knock Piccolo down a bit or bump Nappa up. A mere 500 PL difference is too minuscule even for DB standards for Nappa to kick his ass so easily. I'd probably put Piccolo at 2,000-2,500 or Nappa at 6,000-7,000.

I'd make Vegeta closer to Freeza's PL during their initial struggle in his first form, so about 450,000-500,000. I'd also bump Krillin to, at least, Ginyu's level during the Freeza fight. I'd also have Goku & Freeza's initial strengths anywhere between 4-6 million. As it stands, a mere 20% difference is all that lets Goku take on Freeza while Vegeta got wrecked.
