You bloat to much. Cell doesn't have to be over 5 times stronger after absorbing the humans for Pete's sake.

I kind of have to agree. It's all preference of course, but such "bloated" power differences practically always come from fussing too much over attack amplification and "gaps" and such, and are typically not necessary at all.

Generously speaking, I always thought at the most, Cell doubled his power after going on his energy binge.

If an average human has a PL of like 5, then he would have to have eaten millions of humans to make a difference... that always confused me

So tell me how strong was Piccolo in the 23rd TB then? Was he in the 1,000's all along but decided to fool around just because?

I always assume all of the androids absorption's just multiply the energy taken by an x amount. That way you can easily explain this and Gero's statement about the humans.

Perhaps Goku hadn't mastered his amplification by that point. We don't have any statements implying he did like we do with Piccolo.

The blast was still amplified by a good deal. It's even called "Super" Kamehameha and Piccolo still tanked it.

I see zero reasons to bloat Cell's power like that.

Alright.

The power level list in the other thread is my 'bloated list' and here I made a 'minimal list'.

Multipliers

Ssj= 50x Base
SsjG2= 62.5x Base
SsjG3= 125x Base
Ssj2= 100x Base
Ssj3= 400x Base
Metamoran= 500x Base
Potara= 8,000x Base
SSJG= 600,000x Base

Arrival of Trunks
Arrival of The Androids
Cell is Complete
The Cell Games
Majin Buu
Battle of Gods
Fukkatsu no F
EOZ
Let me know what y'all think.

Your other list is better because base Saiyans > Freeza
Canon is Jaco, Dragon Ball except for EoZ, Dragon Ball Super anime and manga (both are separate canons)
Kai >>> Z
Current Roshi/Kulilin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SSJ3 Gotenks

Beerus examined Goku's body not Ki. He is a god after all, he should be able to determine Goku's power by doing this.

The statement also is never contradicted.

Or Beerus was bluffing because he wanted to see a super saiyan.

It doesn't have to be contradicted to be true. It's a valid argument.

Made up Battle Power multipliers.

Post by Truhan » Wed Jul 29, 2015 8:08 am

I'm considering 50, 100 and 400 as multipliers that we should take for granted, but now I'm introducing a few others:

[Super Saiyan Grades]

SSJ - 50 times the base Battle Power.
SSJ Grade II - 60 times the base Power and Speed (1.2 increase over SSJ).
SSJ Grade III - 70 times the base Power with Speed loss (1.4 increase over SSJ).
Full Power SSJ - 80 times the base Battle Power (1.6 increase over SSJ).

NOTE: Full Power could use this number for any character who has reached that state. Example: Perfect Cell vs SSJ2 Gohan.

[Fusion Dance Formula]

Twice the amount of the lowest Battle Power times 10.
(A + B) * 10, where either A or B has lowered itself to match the other.

[Majin Buu's absorptions]

Using Fat Buu as the base reference with a multiplier of 1:

Mr. Buu - 0.5 times as strong
Super Buu - 4 times as strong
Kid Buu - 4 times as strong
Evil Buu - 8 times as strong
Buff Buu - 8 times as strong

Applied examples:

Evil Buu + Mr. Buu >> 8 * 0.5 = 4
Super Buu - Fat Buu >> 4 / 1 = 4

---

Thoughts or contributions? Am I out of my mind? xD

That's a bit of an odd argument. How about, "He is a god after all, he should be able to create life/teleport like Kibito/use telepathy from across the universe/etc." Being a god does not automatically qualify him for competence/mastery at any random ability.

I mean, I'd personally say given the Buu saga it's pretty much impossible for the saiyans' base forms to be that much weaker than their SSJ forms, but that's another debate entirely.

EDIT: Just realised I'm the third person in a row to counter this point in whatever manner. Probably unnecessary, sorry...

Beerus wouldn't blatantly mention Goku's inability to trump Frieza unless there was some truth behind it.

Assuming Base Goku was more or less in the the neighborhood of 3 million when he first fought Frieza, he would have had to become at least 40 times stronger for Beerus' statement to be contradicted.

I speculate that after turning Super Saiyan, any additional power that Goku gained went straight to his transformations. Meaning, while his base form did get stronger, the benefits were quite trivial in comparison to the increases that his transformations obtained. This could also be sort of tied in with how the efficacy of the Zenkais began to decline over time.

When all is said and done, I personally feel Buu arc Base Saiyans are no where even near Final Form Frieza 100%, let alone their Super Saiyan forms.

If Beerus was lying or mistaken without any indication that he was lying or mistaken, then the line has no reason to even exist and has no place being in the film.

If the film's writers (either Watanabe or Toriyama) wanted Beerus to be mistaken, then there's plenty of different points in the movie where they could have revealed it...
  • Whis explaining things to Beerus: "They've all mastered an ability called Super Saiyan which increases their power... though they've now all become so strong they could defeat Freeza without it."
    Goku, to himself or to Beerus before they fight: "I've gotten so strong that I wouldn't even need Super Saiyan to beat Freeza any more... wait'll you see how strong I am with it now!"
    Kaio, after Beerus beats Goku: "Lord Beerus greatly underestimated Goku's power... but his own was still so far above Goku that it didn't make any difference."
...But they didn't.

Agreed.

In any case, other than a severely restricted fight between Android 18 and the kids, I'm not sure where it was ever implied that the Base Saiyans surpassed Frieza or came even remotely close to reaching such a milestone.

After the tyrant's defeat, the focus seemed to have shifted from merely getting stronger, to unlocking and mastering the different variations of Super Saiyan. Therefore, it's quite likely that the vast majority of the power they gained after the Frieza arc was primarily in the form of new transformations.
