Well, your forum average thingy for your posts is 1.25 posts per day. Mine is 0.89 posts per day. This guy's got 94 posts per day so far. =\
Once he gets to 100 in under a day can we give him a prize or something. :lol: I think this has got to be some kind of all time forum record.

You hoenstly have no idea? It's already gotten to and passed the point of being ridiculous, you've made so many posts that my post count has gone up just from looking at them.

To be honest? Yes. More than a normal person can(could) do. When I had 100 posts, it took me a week to get to 200. And that was last week! I thought that I was the number one poster...Now I'm number two. :cry:

I wonder if anyone else on any other forum has gotten this many posts in one day.

No, they probably haven't because they were following the rules of the forum and not making ridiculous posts at a rate of 2-3 per minute. Watch your back man, EX is coming for you, I can feel it in the air. 8)

We aren't making pointless posts. First, it started as trying to help out the new guy, then it turned into frustration over the number of pointless posts you are making, now we're just joking about it because your obviously ignoring our warnings.

To be honest? I don't know. Maybe it's "Pick On The New Guy Day". But we are trying to help you. Just don't post so often. It can only lead to bad things. Seriously.

Please don't make 106 posts tomorrow.

Put a little thought into them, instead of just asking pointless questions, the majority of which can't really be answered.

Piccolo learning Kiao Ken would probably make him really strong, but the "I'm not a Saiyan" law in Dragonball would come into effect and the villains would just be that much stronger so that Piccolo couldn't defeat anybody.

What I think people should be really wondering about is what if Dragonball Z was given a "Justice League" style treatment (as in the animated show). Everyone would be useful in their own ways. While not every fight would feature every character doing something useful, a good chunk of them would get some spotlight that was integral to the overall victory.

Then, you would have a Piccolo that was like Batman, a Gohan that was like Supergirl (only... boy), a Tenshinhan that was like the Martian Manhunter, a Yamcha that was like the Flash, etc.

Y'know, that would make for some interesting fan art! Dragonball characters dressed up as Justice League characters.

Exactly, get a notepad write down all the asinine questions that pop into your head within the span of a day and throw them all into one thread instead of cluttering up the forum with 20 hypothetical random topics.

Anyway I'll try to answer your question just cuz' I want to be productive.
Piccolo didn't seem interested in North Kai's training at all (if we want to take filler as canon here). Something tells me even if Kaio was handing out the secrets of the Kaioken like free sugar free lollipops after the dentist Piccolo would want to rely on his own inner strength and not somebody else's technique(s). Hell Piccolo is the one person in DBZ who doesn't constantly steal attacks from other people.

Back to the original question:

I know this is another annoying power level comparison with lots of holes, but for this particular thread I'm guessing it's the best method.
---------------------------
We know that Goku with a power level of about 8,000 could only do a Kaio-Ken x3.

We also know that during the fight with Freeza Goku had just received a zenkai and had previously had a power level of 90,000 and could handle a Kaio-Ken x20

So I say that Goku would have been around 105,000 when he fought Freeza.

So, every time your power level increases approximately 13x the Kaio-Ken you can handle increases about 6.66x.

And Piccolo at his peak was about as powerful as a Super Saiya-jin. So if anyone has an accurate number for Goku's power level as a Super Saiya-jin than we can figure out about where Piccolo was and about what level of Kaio-Ken he could handle.
--------------------------
If anyone sees any mistakes in my numbers please tell me, I don't have a Daizenshuu to reference, and if anyone knows what SSj Goku's power level was then I could finish my irritating equation. I know this type of post annoys a lot of you but it seems like the type of answer a person like KingBroly would like.

Picclo at his peak would probably be in the neighborhood of over 150,000,000.

Alright, that just proved my original theory to be incorrect, because it would prove Piccolo to be able to use a (approximate) 14637.36x Kaio-Ken.

I suppose the ability of the Kaio-Ken has to level of somewhere otherwise it's possibilities would be incomprehensible.

So there's pretty much no way to know for sure how far Piccolo could have taken it but we do know that:
-------------------------
Goku at 8,000 could use a Kaio-Ken x3
Goku at approximately 105,000 could use a Kaio-Ken x20
Piccolo ended up with a power level of about 150,000,000
-------------------------
So basically everyone can come up with their own theory, even if you do believe Piccolo could master a Kaio-Ken x14,637.

Obviously. In fact he would be in the billions.
