After burning out my brain a bit thinking on it, it'd make sense if Grade 3 was as slow as regular Super Saiyan.

If you think of Super Saiyan 1 as the starting point, then imagine once you ascend into the 'Grades' you gain a certain amount of both extra speed and power. At Grade 2 you have a little of both which is applied equally, but as you pump up towards Grade 2, you're trading away your speed for extra power. By the time you hit your maximum power, you've lost any and all extra speed you had, and you're now as slow as just regular Super Saiyan.

Grade 2:
+50 Power
+50 Speed

Grade 3:
+100 Power
+0 Speed

Tien would stomp Tambourine just as easily as Goku did. Cymbal is much weaker than Tambourine, so a mere slap would be enough to take him down.

Since Tambourine destroyed Krillin after the Budokai, I'd have to say him.

Now if this was 23rd Budokai Krillin....

Ordinarily, I'd say that Bardock would be strong enough to pull a win, but Bardock is very aware of the tail weakness. If Goku could last that long against Vegeta, I see no reason why Bardock couldn't last long enough to cut off Raditz's tail.

What the hell do you think is going to happen!?

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

That Krillin should be pretty close to BOZ Krillin, so he eviscerates Tambourine.

I think Goku stomps pretty hard, because I never saw Bojack as particularly strong, going purely by what he did in the movie- i.e. beat up SS Gohan while backed up by his gang. He didn't completely annihilate Gohan or one-shot him, and him freaking out after Gohan dispatches his henchmen suggests that they're pretty relevant to him. I at least can't see him being over twice as strong as them.

Bojack- 2,000,000,000
--Super Bojack- 3,000,000,000

Goku- 80,000,000
--Super Saiyan- 4,000,000,000

Well, the animated Satan is more like a mid-tier comic book street leveler, so he should be able to take any real life human with ease.

Meh. Scprited not fake. But doesn't matter to be honest. Wrestler is much more fake than DBZ haha. Undertaker had fucking lighting coming out of his hands :lol: . Though to be fair Kurt Angle was wrestling(REAL wrestling not Sports Entertainment) before he was a "Wrestler" and even won a Gold medal with a BROKEN NECK.

No matter what knowledge they have in martial arts and no matter how strong they are, they don't have the same experience as Mr. Satan has, who is an actual martial arts champion.
