But on the other hand, the power Beerus would need to make a laughing stock out of Goku would be 0.05, 0.1. Depends if I put Vegetto above Vegeta for the different numbers to work. But then it can be argued that Goku would have no way of gauging Beerus power when he is so ridiculously above him using a lot less than 1% of his power.

I agree. Vegeta need be nowhere even close to 10% Beerus. His blast didn't phase him at all, and this was followed up by him casually one-shotting him.

Vegeta being at 3% is possible, I do suppose. Still ridiculous-sounding, but there's no way to avoid that. Super Vegetto is probably below Vegeta there. That's SSJ1 Vegetto, not necessarily anything higher.

Vegeta = 3%, Super Vegetto = 1%, SSJ3 Gokuu = almost incalculably low, but we'll say 0.01%.

This puts SSJ3 Vegetto at 8%, entirely tolerable.

But why would Beerus need to use 10%? he could use 6% and the fight would still go the same way if Vegeta was only 3%.
Why I use "Geran" instead of "Jiren"

Not necessarily, Vegeta's blasts can be far above his base power level. We've seen this before.

I wouldn't put Vegeta that low. I'd probably put him at 5% and that could work with either Vegeta being stronger than Vegetto or the latter being stronger than the former (like around 6% or 7% compared to Vegeta's 5%) because SSJ3 Vegetto would still end up weaker than God Goku with him tapping out at 48% or 56% compared to Goku's 60%.

Problem with Super Vegetto being stronger is that Gokuu specifically states that potara fusion (using the word they exclusively use to refer to that) wouldn't be enough. He was grading Beerus based on the power he used against him.

I think Beerus was initially at 2.5% power, and doesn't ever go below this because he has flawless control over this level of power. This is what Gokuu grades him by.

Vegeta hits 3%, enough to give him the edge and surprise Beerus. Vegeta can unleash ki blasts far above his level, however, and so the one he used on Beerus might've been a 6% or so, prompting him to use 10%.

10% Beerus tanked all of Vegeta's blows like air.

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.

Then why did Vegeta launch him into the air twice?

Cause he wasn't 10% when he was getting hit. That was sort of the point of the last several posts.

I think this works fine for me. I probably won't be changing it until any new information drops soon. So SS3 Goku is 0.16% of Beerus, enraged Vegeta and Super Saiyan Vegetto are about 3.5% and 4% respectively, since Vegeta managed to get some hits in but Beerus was clearly testing him and wasn't even fazed after it all (how strong he is compared to Super Vegetto is completely arbitrary, I just chose to put him weaker because I want to, but at least we have to all agree he's somewhere in the same realm as SS Vegetto). Meanwhile, Super Saiyan 3 Vegetto is weaker than any of the Gods (barring final form Freeza, I guess, if you count him as a God), standing at 32% of Beerus' power.

SSGSS is a 2x boost and Freeza's golden form is 3.5x, because I want them to be as such. RF battle powers are self-explanatory, I think. Some promotional material said something about a battle surpassing even the one in BoG, so I put everyone above 70% Beerus for good measure.

I would put Rageta at 3% and Super Vegetto at 2%

SSJ3 Goku = 0.01% or below
Super Vegetto = 2%
Beerus(vs.z fighters and ssj3 goku)= 2.5%
Rageta = 3%
SSJ2 Vegetto = 4%
SSJ3 Vegetto = 16%

It makes sense for Rage Vegeta tanking a punch from 2.5% Beerus and then Beerus rose to 10% tank all of his attacks and one shot him

Okay, I'm updating my power level list. I'm not giving reasons for everything since I did give some before.

I just can't make sense of Beerus using 10% to beat Vegeta if he was 2-4% of Beerus.

6% should be enough.

I think you guys are underestimating Vegeta.

My logic is about Beerus showing no signs of damage even though Vegeta is giving his all when attacking Beerus. We've seen characters cause noticeable injury to another character with a 2-3x power difference. Once Beerus decided to retaliate, it was a very very casual hit. It looked like it was by accident. I know Vegeta was a bit worn out by that point, but I don't think his power dropped too much.
Maybe Beerus was gauging Vegeta so he used more power? Or maybe he just didn't want to be hurt when being knocked around. :P I do believe Beerus allowed himself to be knocked around.

Thanks Blackstripe. It looks a bit excessive but it fits IMO. :)

I'd put it like this myself.

Whis - 1,500
Beerus - 1,000
SSJG God - 600
SSJ3 Vegito - 500
SSJ2 Vegito - 125
SSJ Vegito - 62.5
Angry SSJ2 Vegeta - 40
Gohan Buu - 40
Gohan - 23
SSJ3 Gotenks - 18
Super Buu - 16
SSJ3 Goku (Z) - 2.5

Or Toei screwed the things up having Beerus to say a percentage of his power, they better let Beerus saying:"I have never had to use this percentage of my true power against Saiyans, like you, Vegeta.

Beerus using 10% of his true power is simply way too much, knowing Goku's decision to discard Vegetto. It's simply makes Vegetto to high if used against Beerus, potentially surpassing him.

Well, of course. Everyone knows this is the truth of it.

But as horrifically nerdy fans, it is our duty to try and make some level of sense out of Toei's bumbling decisions.

I wonder if they'll change up the amount he'll use against SSJG Goku so that it's not 70% this time.

Haven't watched yet, but 10% against Vegeta?

Assuming Vegeta put up a legitimate fight, then this is going to force me to significantly decrease the effect of fusion and merging, if the Vegetto line is left in still.
