I'm'a say Jaco. Adult Saiyans are too much for the Galactic Patrol to handle, but Goku is just a kid, and a below-average one at that.

SSJ Goku (Cell Games) vs. Dabra
— Piccolo wins. I figure him to at least be roughly equal to "Super Vegeta" by the time of the Cell Games.
— This is basically the reverse of Gohan Vs Dabra. Goku's at a slight disadvantage in power, but he can make up for it with skill. It unfolds a lot like his fight with Cell, except Dabra can't regenerate when he gets half his body blown up.

By GT logic, Super Saiyan 4 is some sort of arbitrary dormant-power unlock, with no established power boost beyond being stronger than SS3. My gut tells me that Goku loses the first match, wins the second one, then loses to Vegetto in the third.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

SSJ2FutureGohan wrote:As mentioned before it makes absolutely no sense at all as to why Piccolo would be weaker than Freeza and still consider the possibility that he's gotten too strong. From a storytelling standpoint, it really doesn't make sense.

There would be no point at all in that line if Piccolo was actually supposed to be as weak as you're saying.

Character statements form the basis of the story. To doubt Piccolo here is like doubting the author. Without statements or comparable feats, there's no way to judge. If there's evidence that Piccolo > Trunks (or Freeza), and nothing going to the contrary, there's no reason to discard or twist the evidence, or try to discredit it because of other situations. Not just because "his gains are unrealistic"
Anyway, to end this debate:

IMO, Piccolo's conclusion that he became stronger than the Artificial Humans that killed Super Saiyans is solely based on the fact that he was kicking the ass of an Artificial Human that he thought that killed Super Saiyans in the future. I don't think he gave much thought into it, like comparing himself with SS Trunks. He was just like "I can beat them, so I must be stronger than them".

Based on Kami's statement, I can't agree that Trunks is very different after 6 months in the future. Kami was talking about battle powers in that statement, so if Trunks had made any huge gains, I'm sure he would have mentioned them, because they would be relevant to his discussion with Piccolo.

I'm not saying that there is evidence showing that Piccolo isn't anywhere close to the Super Saiyans (though there is evidence that he hadn't surpassed any Super Saiyan). Maybe he is, but I don't believe so. All we have is that he is below the Super Saiyans, and above the Earthlings, base Saiyans, and #19 & #20.

Anyway, I think I've said all I had to say about this. Moving on.
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.

- Perfect Cell vs. Vegeta
- Perfect Cell vs. Trunks
- Perfect Cell vs. Piccolo.

So, these aren't standard fights in that we already know who would win. What I am interested in though, is if Vegeta, Trunks and Piccolo all individually took on Cell at the Cell-Games, to what extent would they be defeated? Would each of them be completely destroyed, or would they at least be able to put up somewhat of a fight? Goku has a change of heart for whatever reason and isn't giving away senzu beans.

Cell is using the same amount of power he used against Goku in each of these individual fights, not his full power he showed against Gohan. Also:

- Krillin (versus Ginyu-Goku) vs. Vegeta (beginning of Namek arc).
- Krillin (versus Ginyu-Goku) vs. Zarbon (can't transform), Dodoria and Cui.

Cell one-shots everyone. He was smacking Goku around pretty well with just that level of power, and these guys are all much weaker than Goku (Goku described himself as a lot stronger than Vegeta, and Vegeta was awed by his power).

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
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.

-I think Piccolo takes it. Not really sure where to place post rosat Piccolo though.
-Dabra is ssj2 tier, so he obliterates ssj Goku(Cell games) with ease. I think he would dominate a ssj2 Goku(Cell games) as well.

Neither Gohan nor Goku knew Vegeta had SSJ2 and yet didn't say anything when Vegeta raged at Gohan saying Vegeta could have stomped Dabura. So unless you think SSJ2 Gohan < SSJ Vegeta, Gohan was a SSJ against Dabura.
