Could Non-SSJ Goku have defeated #19...
.. If he didn't have the heart virus? His power level after the Vegata fight was about 40,000 tops. During his fight with Freeza, he was well into the millions. Gero didn't expect power like that.
Re: Could base goku have defeated 19...
No. He was about as powerful as SSJ Vegeta without the virus and Vegeta had to go SSJ to beat 19. He even had to eat a senzu before facing 20.mystic trunks wrote:.. If he didn't have the heart virus?

I'm guessing this is coming up because Piccolo was able to defeat Android 20 relatively easily.
The short answer: No, Goku would lose. The evidence is shown with Vegeta needing a sensu after defeating 19.
Piccolo was much more powerful at this point than he was on Namek. You have to remember that he trained against Goku for those whole three years. His power level is going to skyrocket with a SSJ sparing partner. His strength was most likely somewhere in between Base Goku and SSJ Goku, which is why he was able to defeat 20.

Goku's too weak in base to do anything.
Vegeta somehow makes it seem possible when he calls Goku "a fool" for transforming to battle #19. He couldn't sense their power, though, so I overlooked that part.

Goku would've had more chance getting a job than beating #19 in his base form. So, no, Goku would be slaughtered. I mean, he wouldn't just transform for nothing.

I say no. Kaioken would be like doing more damage to himself than switching over to SSJ did. Plus it only works in bursts, so #19 would have the edge.mystic trunks wrote:What about with Kaioken?

Exactly how much use could Piccolo get out of fighting someone over a hundred fifty times stronger than he was? He's not a Saiyan, where getting beat to a pulp makes him stronger.Kroni_Hunter wrote:Piccolo was much more powerful at this point than he was on Namek.

Obviously, he did get a bit use out of it, since some people acually were awed because of his progress in his strength.Rocketman wrote:Exactly how much use could Piccolo get out of fighting someone over a hundred fifty times stronger than he was?

I doubt that he could defeat #19, but he gave a huge can of whopass to Dr. Gero at least.
Simply, the plot shows that Piccolo did get a lot out of his training with Goku.

Throw in a stronger Piccolo sparring with Goku and his power will increase much more; especially in 3 yrs. You also have Krillin's statement, which seems to be another indication that Piccolo is fighting with Super Saiyan like power.

But it doesn't change the fact that Piccolo beats the crap outta #20, who's stated to be above #19--and Goku didn't do much to him as a Super Saiyan before he lost a large amount of energy.
Piccolo is much stronger than you think.

So Dr. Gero was wrong in thinking that absorbing Piccolo and the humans' energies was going to help him against a Super Saiyan?Rocketman wrote:Krillin's statement only indicates that Piccolo was strong for someone who was not a Super Saiyan.Super Saiyan Turlast x4 wrote:You also have Krillin's statement, which seems to be another indication that Piccolo is fighting with Super Saiyan like power.
I mean, if he wasn't that strong, it would be a futile attempt, no?
EDIT: Going by your theories by the human fighters' powers (including Gohan's) they would barely add to even 5,000,000, and then Piccolo's huge, but a lot weaker than a Super Saiyan, power would give him the edge?
You would be estimating that Dr. Gero is much stronger than he seems to be.
