If Krillin can manage to hit 17 with the rock he wins. He somehow found the most powerful ordinary rock in the Universe.

Filler Yamcha vs Freeza/Cell (pick forms) Yamcha is also free from the universal law of he has to lose because he is Yamcha
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Two Saibamen Potara fused vs EoZ Yamcha

I think that, if Gero's lines in the android arc aren't bullshit, Yamcha wins. If they are, the Saibaman stomps.

Super Saibaman- (1,200 + 1,200) x 100 = 240,000

Yamcha (logical)- 60,000

Yamcha (Gero-wanked)- 1,800,000

I currently lean towards the Gero-wanked side. Gero-wanked Yamcha couldn't even be beaten by a Saibaman fusion going by A x B, though the Saibaman could draw him with the suicide explosion.

Two Saibaman danced fused vs EoZ Yamcha
Filler Yamcha vs Freeza/Cell (pick forms) Yamcha is also free from the universal law of he has to lose because he is Yamcha
Filler Yamcha is wanked as fuck, but judging by Tenshinhan's fight with Trunks in Movie 13 and Olibu's fight with suppressed Pikkon, he's still only high base saiyan tier. He gets annihilated by either of them. The only possible diversion from the manga (assuming the highest reasonable estimate for Yamcha) is that Freeza would have to power up past his initial final form level to beat him.

Filler Yamcha beat Oiblu, who was on par with the same Pikkon who one-shot Cell. Filler Yamcha wins this.

I doubt it was the same one. Pikkon was probably suppressed, as there's no way the weights are THAT big of a limiter. That's never been the case. Unless you think base Goku > Super Perfect Cell, but even by filler logic, that's not the case.

Anime Goku held back the entire Cell Games, dude held back on purpose and wanted to die so he can leave his family and train in the afterlife.

Yeah, I went there.

Yeah no.

In the anime, the humans seem to stack up to the base saiyans in the same way they stacked up to Goku in Dragon Ball. They're much weaker, but not many times weaker. Which is weird, since they were far weaker than base Vegeta in the android arc and never got far above that. Perhaps in the world of the anime, they got Piccolo-like training gains in those seven years? Or they went into the ROSAT shortly after Cell's defeat for kicks? And then did it again later? Explains Yamcha vs Olibu and Tien vs Future Trunks at least.

I'm talking general fighting technique. His martial arts skills are vastly superior to Yamcha's.

I doubt it. Gohan is just much more powerful. A good example is #17 or #18. They are ordinary human who got turned into androids. Surely their fighting technique is much inferior to any member of the gang, yet no one could touch them, not even the super saiyans. Therefore, I wouldn't be surprised at all that Yamcha actually has more fighting skill than Gohan, but is simply way too outclassed in power, strength and speed.

The dude gave Goku trouble in the ROSAT.... I think his martial arts skill is definitely superior.

Vegeta wouldn't make a ton of progress, he hit a limit in the Buu arc. If he could break that limit and make normal gains, he'd still lose.

Pretty much all of Gohan's interactions with Goku in the Rosat (in terms of fighting) are filler.

In theory, Gotenks would turn Vegeta inside out and throw him into the sun.
In practice, it would depend on the boost given by Vegeta's Final Flash, and also where you place base Gotenks. If you take the lower estimates for Gotenks power in base, combined with his extreme stupidity, he'd allowed Vegeta to charge up a Final Flash and try to take it on, resulting in either a pile of ashes, or a mildly irritated Gotenks, depending, again, on where you place his strength.

Vegeta can't use Final Flash as a Super Saiyan. At least at that point of the story.
