IMO the main villain of a movie is always stronger than the main villain of the previous movie, so even if my mulipliers were fact Tullece would still lose horribly.

Tullece can only win if he uses Ozaru.

But then Slug could possibly use his own giant form to re-level the playing field.

ZOMG, that would be awesome.

For my DBZ Movie 3 battle power list, I arbitrarily plonked Tullece (2nd Fruit) at 650,000, boosted up from 400,000 (1st Fruit). So, without Ozaru, Tullece would be demolished. However, if he did use Ozaru, boosting his power up to 6,500,000, then I think Freeza would be forced to either attempt to slice off his tail, or use a higher percentage of his full power to defeat him.

You mean in a serious, all-out fight? Goku gets massacred. Mister Boo would still require Super Saiyan 2 to beat back in the day, and even ten years of mere Earth-level training isn't going to get Goku magically 100x stronger so he could beat him in just his base form.

Really? what about how goku said to mr satan that someone might win beside himself and boo? i dont think goku said his expectations of oob were not up to scratch in the results so i think enraged oob was probably close to pure boo. Besides just 7 years earth grav training raised vegeta from cell jr level to above ssj2 gohan. goku trains much more efficiently and i think he'd concentrate on raising his base power.

Yes it is.

The Cell Saga proves it.

Vegeta more or less admits it.


Since I already stated long ago that I don't think base saiyans are that strong, Mister Buu wins. Easily.

No, unlocking SS2 while Gohan let his power fall did that.

Goku invented a better way to train that time. Not in any other instance later. Vegeta's training after that is at the very least as efficient as Goku's. Plus, Vegeta trains harder, so Goku on Earth conditions is kind of screwed.

He did it once, it's ample proof he can do it again.

Goku is the one that caught up to Vegeta (with Vegeta being the one who got a head start in power the moment he was born) then surpassed him and then reached SSJ before him and then went on to leave him in the dust power wise.
The only time Vegeta managed to possibly surpass Goku, was in the android saga, but it was by such a small margin that it couldn't even be stated as a certain thing.

If Goku had stayed on Earth, he would have still been above Vegeta in strength because even if Vegeta trains harder, training smart and efficient > training long and hard.

And Vegeta himself admits Goku is better than him so I don't see how that is debatable.

No.

Oh so near-death power-ups matter? No.

It's implied that Vegeta had surpassed Goku at that moment. There wouldn't be any reason to imply such thing if it wasn't true.
If Goku had stayed on Earth, he would have still been above Vegeta in strength because even if Vegeta trains harder, training smart and efficient > training long and hard.
I'll just repeat myself: on Earth's conditions Goku is kind of screwed. I can only see him having efficient training with Oob, since Oob is a really good sparing partner.
And Vegeta himself admits Goku is better than him so I don't see how that is debatable.
Vegeta ended up 2nd to Goku, so Goku's better. How does that prove that Goku's training is more efficient (if they were to train under same conditions, ofc)?

No.
Yes. Since he also did on his way to namek.
Oh so near-death power-ups matter? No.
I remember a trip to namek where he spent the entire time training that made the difference. And Vegeta got just as much trough near-death power ups. Actually,I think he had more near death power ups than Goku...
It's implied that Vegeta had surpassed Goku at that moment. There wouldn't be any reason to imply such thing if it wasn't true.
It's implied , not stated , so it isn't a fact. And my point was that since it expressed uncertainty it means that even if he did surpass Goku, the difference was so small they couldn't be sure. If the author wanted the readers to know for sure Vegeta had surpassed Goku at that point, he would have made things clearer. So the only time Vegeta surpassed Goku , it was with a small difference. When Goku surpassed Vegeta, he does so by a good deal more.
I'll just repeat myself: on Earth's conditions Goku is kind of screwed. I can only see him having efficient training with Oob, since Oob is a really good sparing partner.
No, he isn't. 10 years later, with "earth conditions", Goku is still stronger than Vegeta and I bet probably by a good deal still.
Vegeta ended up 2nd to Goku, so Goku's better. How does that prove that Goku's training is more efficient (if they were to train under same conditions, ofc)?
I don't understand the logic here. Goku is stronger and better BECAUSE his training is more efficient. They already trained once under the same conditions and Goku surpassed him by so much Vegeta couldn't catch with one more additional year. That is the difference between how much more efficient Goku's training was.

And you keep bringing up eath conditions. Vegeta didn't have eart conditions either. He had a custom made training room that allowed him to change his training conditions however he wanted. We have no proof whatsoever that Goku had special or harder conditions. The only thing he had was lack of fatique in the afterlife.
Vegeta, although he knows he has trained harder than Goku, says Goku is a genious when it comes to fighting. So that means Vegeta himself dismisses the notion that it was because of the afterlife that Goku got so much better. And this was before he found out about SSJ3.

@Uub vs Mr Buu, Piccolo says that Goku vs Uub would be the most notable match. That imo is same as saying these two are the most powerful in the tournament (by a good margin too).

IMO Uub (enraged)>base Goku>>>Mr Buu.

Training himself to near-death, then healing with the senzu. The narrator outright says he's using the zenkais.

As long as you also remember that Goku was assisted by Norht Kaio who could increase his weights to whatever amount was needed.

Yes I know, I didn't forget that. The same type of training Vegeta had. That's why I said no "special or harder conditon" because the increased gravity or added weigths method had been used by all before.

If I recall, that was one incident, when he used 100G for the first time. Also I do believe that trainig until near death power up is a little more beneficial than getting beaten near to death pwoer up.

What's important here, he was training .

Why do you guys argue about who trains more efficient, how can Vegeta have a more effecient training, but still sucks Goku's balls? Goku is the main character, eventualy he will always be the strongest.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Nope:
Chapter: 270 (DBZ 76), P8.3-4
Context: Narrator commenting on Goku’s increasing strength.
Narrator: “Goku had continued this insane pattern of pushing his body and ki to the brink of death, then refreshing himself again by eating a senzu. The 7 senzu he received from Lord Karin have already fallen to only 3…However, though this training is outrageous, perhaps Goku has somehow realized the Saiyan characteristic of their strength increasing when they overcome death…”
He did it 4 times.
