Goku starts off as SSJ3, and could give the Spirit Bomb a push with all of his SSJ3 strength.
Dodging the attack is not allowed, it must be taken head-on, who survives? Who would be able to send it flying back at Goku?
How well can Goku do if he's only SSJ2?
Super Buu (no one absorbed)
2 Kid Buus
Janemba - Final Form
Hirudegarn - Final Form

Neither of them can send it back as they are all evil.
From Gotenks-Buu onwards everyone survives, except the Fat Buus, who all get evaporated.

1. I think Fat Buu may able to win since he can regen and turn Freeza into candy. It would be a good fight though.
2. I think Zarbon might win. Vegeta on Namek was stronger then he was when he first fought Goku thanks to his zenkai boost after healing at Freeza's HQ.
3. Unless I'm wrong, neither of those mecha can blow up a Planet or anything higher. Hirudegarn would one shot them all. Even add Serpentera to the mix and Hirudegarn would still win. Serpentera can blow up planets, but he can die when Cole from Wild Force was able to run his bike through him from what I can remember.
4. Hirudegarn took out both Mystic Gohan, SSj3 Gotenks and SSj3 Goku. I do feel like Hirudegarn could win this with some effort. Kid Buu can still regen from dust, can absorb other people and turn Hirudegarn into candy.

- I'd say Freeza would take this. I have his first form in ROF at SSJ3 tier.
- Zarbon wins with ease
- Umm... I'm not that familiar with Gundam so... Hirudegarn?
- Hirudegarn scorches Boo with his flame breath

Baby Vegeta wrecks Boohan. I have all the top tier characters post-Meta-Rilldo as beyond Boohan level.

Base Goku can one-shot Cell and Frieza at the same time, which makes him SSJ2 level. I'd assume as a SSJ, he's on par or above Mystic Gohan from DBZ. As a SSJ2, he should be Buutenks level. As a SSJ3, his power skyrockets further. And yet... he can't touch the first form of Bebi Vegeta. It's so incredibly one-sided.
So yeah, I say Bebi Vegeta beats Buuhan.

Ultimate Gohan crushes First Form Freeza post training.
After completing his training, I see Freeza in his first form more or less around SSJ3 / Kid Buu tier.
Can you further elaborate your question regarding Cell a bit more?
Sure! Seeing as Freeza trained for 4 months and got mighty strong. What if Cell did the same AND adding in his Saiyan zenkai genes(like Goku training for Namek).
TheGmGoken wrote:Mystic Gohan vs 1st Form Freeza post training
I have this form of Freeza at the same level as SS2s, so Gohan wins confortably. It's important to note that Freeza final form is suggested to have surpassed Boo Arc Goku.
Chou_Gohan wrote:Baby Vegeta 1st form vs Boohan
Baby is likely stronger than any of Boo forms when he possess Vegeta. It's that "major villain surpassing the previous ones" trend.

I'm only familiar with Sesshomaru. I think he wins. That sword can disintegrate any organic being and completely nullifies any regeneration. It's practically made to kill Buu.

Inuyasha has some really broken powers, but they lack speed that DBZ characters have though. Assuming that Buu does not doge his attack then Sesshomaru's bakusaiga could do some serious damage to his regen powers. I'm judging off from memory since I haven't watch or read Inuyasha since 2006 or 2007.

Considering DB characters are notoriously bad against magic and telepathy, I'd say he solo's the entire DBZ-verse with all his dragons casually mindraping everyone. Or he says "die" and everyone dies.
Base Goten VS Krillin + Yamcha Potara Fusion[All during the Start of the Buu Arc. No flying or Ki blasts]
Base Goku (25th WMAT) VS Great Ape Trunks (Start of Buu Arc) -- No tail cutting or grabbing. Trunks is solely focused on attacking Goku
- Goten I'd give this to Krillin/Yamcha. I have both their power levels in the low millions, so potara fused together, they stomp Goten
- Oozaru Trunks literally crushes Goku

Gohan (After Dende heals him; No rage) vs Vegeta (After nap; Against 1st form Freeza)
Kami (Inside Hero) vs Tenshinhan (23rd TB)
- Vegeta beats the hell out of Gohan. He was nothing without his rage boosts at that time.
- Hmmm... this match could really go either way. I'd give this to Tien because he seems a bit more tactical in combat than Kami is.
