What if Toriyama gave us
An official power level for one, just one, person who would you pick for him to reveal? I would have to go with either Ultimate Gohan (to see how big the gap is between him and Goku), Beerus (obv reasons), Videl (sounds weird I know but just to see how she compares with early DB) or Bardock. If you can't think of one maybe somebody who you think would help us the most to determine others.
Edit: I mean any official source.

Chaozu because he is broken as fuck.
Did you know Toriyama originally intended for Chaozu to one-shot both Beers and Whis at the same time, but had to rewrite the script because Chaozu's VA got sick?

The power level of his wife when she's mad at him. Every man fears his girl when she mad.
Re: What if Toriyama gave us
King Cold. Would be cool to see exactly how he compares to Freeza's forms and the Super Saiyans.
The farther into the story we go from there, the greater the chance of Toriyama overlooking some detail that only the fans pay attention to, and causing some glaring inconsistency with already established norms, concepts, scaling, etc.

Re: What if Toriyama gave us
Maybe Super Saiyan 3 Goku? I dunno. If there's one thing I've noticed about the fandom, though, it's that if you've been arguing a certain stance for years, nothing will change your mind. I doubt if anyone would take Toriyama's word on battle powers with more than a grain of salt these days.
And what if it tilted evidence against your side?Hellspawn28 wrote:Gohan to shut up the fans about the SSj3 Goku vs. Mystic Gohan debates over the years.

Re: What if Toriyama gave us
The power level of Super Perfect Cell, SSJ2 Gohan(healty and injured), Ultimate Gohan & SSJ3 Goku's full power, Rage Vegeta(and also he was SSJ2 or just SSJ1?). Vegetto's maximum power(and if it's below Godly realm). As for God Goku, Beerus and Whis I don't care as we already have power levels.

Re: What if Toriyama gave us
I honestly don't know. If. I had faith in Toriyama, I'd say base BOG Goku, because we could then scale everyone around him and his respective SS forms, which we already have the multipliers for. But. I have a feeling he'd end up contradicting SOMETHING out of poor memory. So... I guess Android 16.

Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.
Re: What if Toriyama gave us
How would knowing Gohan's power level do that? We don't know how powerful Goku is. If we take the statement of Goku not being able to beat Freeza in base as fact then we could get a estimate of Goku but it could still vary by a decent bit. And some people don't take that statement as fact and some probably wouldn't take a new Toriyama statement as fact either.Hellspawn28 wrote:Gohan to shut up the fans about the SSj3 Goku vs. Mystic Gohan debates over the years.

Re: What if Toriyama gave us
Nobody.
In fact, I don't want to hear any more in-universe information from Toriyama regarding character strength, as it will likely be entirely off-the-cuff, will disregard the majority of previously established in-universe events that he's long since forgotten and will lead to a subsequent shit-storm as fans clamber to revise their power-level charts to accommodate some new and entirely contradictory information.

Re: What if Toriyama gave us
As for Goku being inferior in SSJ3 basing on he could not beat Freeza in base for me it seems very believable. But some fans tend to base on those facts that some SSJ levels can be maxed out (as the Basic Super Saiyan level can be maxed out to a Full Powered one, and the difference is at least 10x - which can be considered true). But Toriyama also mentioned in an interview that all the heroes are on their maximum strength during Battle of Gods time, so Goku could or could not become a lot stronger since Majin Buu saga, that is still a secret.dario03 wrote:How would knowing Gohan's power level do that?

Id rather get a multiplier for SSJ4 and a more detailed description of how the Fusion Dance and Potarra Earrings worked.

Re: What if Toriyama gave us
I think he means more specifics on how the strength of the fusion is determined, given the thread's topic. Like if it adds the fusees and multiplies by a set number, or whatever else it could be.ABED wrote:Magic, it would all be gobbledygook, so I'm not sure what you're asking for with a better description.KentalSSJ6 wrote:Id rather get a multiplier for SSJ4 and a more detailed description of how the Fusion Dance and Potarra Earrings worked.

Heh. Actually, that gives me my own answer. If Toriyama must give us strength information, let him reveal what he thinks his own power level would be.TheGmGoken wrote:The power level of his wife when she's mad at him. Every man fears his girl when she mad.

Re: What if Toriyama gave us
I don't think it really matters; if the power level-obsessed don't like the new information, they'll just disregard it and the "debates" will rage as they always have.
So, I guess in that respect, it'd be nice if it were something like Buu or Ultimate Gohan or Vegetto, just to have something official to shut things down with.

But given that you actually try to keep tabs on things pretty comprehensively with your strength-checker compilations, wouldn't it provide you with a fairly sizable headache too?

Re: What if Toriyama gave us
Bardock. AT has said that Bardock was a low-class warrior who isn't able to become a mid-class (i.e. he was weaker than Nappa). Well then, how weak was he? What is a "mid-class" power level? How powerful can a "low-class" saiyan warrior be before he's no longer considered a "low-class"?xmysticgohanx wrote:An official power level for one, just one, person who would you pick for him to reveal?
