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

I assume you mean them being used by characters of equal power?

Don't have to be equal. Just not a huge ass gap.

Considering that Piccolo, who was a tiny shred weaker than the one firing it, tanked it twice, the Super Kamehameha is seriously shit.

Goku using the Super Genki Dama vs. Buuhan. Would the same Genki Dama that he used to kill Kid Buu, be strong enough to kill Buuhan?

Seeing as Kid Buu nearly turned the Genki Dama against Goku (granted he had no energy left), i'd say Buuhan would likely have batted the thing back, since he has Gohan's power along with his own and he's already above SSJ3 Goku without any absorptions as it is.

Base Super Buu laughs, tanks it, and then kills Goku with a light slap of his head tentacle.

Well,King Kai said that he was weaker than Saiyans,including Nappa.Close fight,but I would say Piccolo if he fires Makankosappo.

Depends on where they are fighting. If its on Kaio's planet then Kaio wins, if on Earth, then Piccolo has this.

Exact equals. But logically Kaio knows the kaio-ken, he just says he hasn't "mastered" it. So I'll give it to him.
