Hmm, I'm probably wrong but did Vegeta release SSJ2 when he was under the Majin spell?
Otaku at heart.

The fans are on two different sides concerning this matter, but most proof lean towards him already having reached SSJ2 before the Majin spell.
You can search through these forums, we have a shitload of threads regarding this particular matter. :P

I was under the impression he released it while under the spell, but I was also thinking that he should have reached that point beforehand, thanks.

If Goku hadn't been overconfident with Gohan and had listened to Kuririn and Piccolo like a normal person, Gohan wouldnt have achieved ssj2.
If Goten and Trunks became ssj3 by fusing two ssj1', shouldnt each of them be capable of ssj2?
SON GOTEN FTW
except GT Goten
Especially after he went out with Paresu-chan

As far as I have understood, to be able to reach SSJ2, you need a certain amount of power.
So they probably know how to reach it, but aren't strong enough yet to be able to.
As Gotenks, however, they were strong enough to both hypothetically reach SSJ2 and then SSJ3.
