Imperfect Cell VS Tien's Neo Tri Beam barrages (the same way he did to Semi-Perfect Cell, except its on Imperfect Cell), Yamcha and Krillin shooting Kamehamehas, Chiaotzu shooting Dodon rays

Could they do significant damage to Imperfect Cell, if Cell just takes it all on like Semi-perfect Cell did? Stipulation is, Earth won't blow up no matter how strong the attacks are.

Really? Judging by Trunks' statement after Cell morphed into that power-weighted form, I assumed that Cell's raw power had increased tremendously, but the added musculature neutered his speed just as much(akin to when Trunks himself went USSJ)..?

Cell says, flat-out, that he's using his full speed but not his full power. You may think it makes no sense, but you're arguing with Cell here, and I think he knows what he is capable of better than you do.

Full speed in his suppressed state, maybe... Unless you don't think he became any faster after fully powering up against SSJ2 Gohan(which, again, would make no sense in accordance with what we know about power/speed increases in DBZ)..?

And if that IS what you think, then we're done here. :)

I'm guessing Imperfect Cell would be pushed down by the Kikoho even more, but would still be able to finish Tien once it's done.

This one. Yeah, likely wasn't full power Cell, given the context (Gohan refusing to fight Cell, accompanied by a picture of Cell hugging him).
Though possessing power surpassing Cell, his gentle heart shied away from battle!
Though I agree SS Gohan could be stronger than Supressed Cell and the guide is clearly referring to SS Grade IV, I don't think the statement is necesseraly linked to it. Seems more like it is comparing Gohan and Cell in general.

It would probably just end up like it did last time, with Cell coming out with maybe a few scratches on him and Tenshinhan nearly dead.

Bora stomps. Even RRA arc Goku could get hurt by pistol bullets, and was unable to survive a point blank shotgun blast to the face. Bora took shots to the chest from several pistols, SMGs, and shotguns at fairly close range and was totally fine.

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

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.

Where does it show that Goku couldn't survive that?

Well, I have no idea how powerful 28th WMAT Pan was. All I know was that her feat of flying around the world doesn't seem that amazing when you know that 22nd WMAT Goku can swim from Yahhoi, which is from the absolute opposite side of the world, to Papaya Island quickly.

Mr. Boo beats all unless Vegeta pulls out the bullshit boost somehow.

Pan probably considering she probably inherited great power from her dad.

The funny thing is that no one really knows how strong Pan is. All we have to go by her flying around the world, to where Goku says that was "pretty fast", and him also saying that she'll go far in the tournament. I just make her strong due to her amazing genetics :lol: .

Pan at end of DBZ's best feat was flying across the Planet super fast. Other then that, we have no idea how strong she is via power scaling. She is likely stronger then Gohan at the start of DBZ. I think she could make it up to Nappa and lose.

1. I think Kid Buu would win, but it was a decent fight

2. Radditz stomps. Neither of them would last very long and Chaozu blowing himself up could do some serious damage to Radditz. I don't think it would be enough to kill him.

3. Cui was just as strong Saiyan saga Vegeta. EOZ Chaozu might not be strong enough to beat Nappa, so he loses.

4. Kibto would probably win.

5. Hard to tell on how much stronger Kibitoshin is since he never fought at all in DBZ. Kaioshin made Piccolo scared of fighting him and Piccolo is much stronger then he was in the Cell games. Piccolo during the Cell games train in the Room of Spirit and Time, so he should be at FPSSj level during the Buu saga without his weight clothes on in my opinion. If I had to guess then I think Kibitoshin could pull off a win.

6. Goku would probably win.

7. #17 would probably win

8. Team 2 wins

9. Saibaman stomps

10. Captain Ginyu on his own would take this

11. IDK

12. Babidi never seem strong on his own. I do think Kami would probably win.

13) Popo VS King Piccolo, Drum, Tambourine, Cymbal, and Goku (post-ultra divine water)
1) Whether it's Mr. Boo before or after his power-split, or whether he got his power back again, or whatever... Pure Boo wins. Base Gotenks is as inconsequential in the Boo arc as any other base-form Saiyan save for possibly Vegetto.

2) These two are stronger at this point than Goku and Piccolo were, but they're also less skilled and lacking in battle instinct. Without Yajirobe being able to rely on his sword or grabbing Raditz's tail, they probably won't last long enough against Raditz to bring him down.

3) Poor Chaozu always has been and remained the weakest of the "humans" in my book, but after spending so much time on Kaio's planetoid and training with Tenshinhan for several more decades thereafter, I'm willing to throw End-of-Z Chaozu a bone and consider him to be around the same strength as Vegeta against the Ginyu Force. So he takes this one.

4) Kibito was on-par with Gohan in battle power, but that's only about half of Freeza's 100% in my book, and he doesn't have much going for him beyond that battle power, if you ask me. Freeza wins this.

5) Definitely giving this one to merged Kaioshin. I don't think he was all that far behind Dabra even before his fusion, which in my eyes put him up on a high Super Saiyan 2 level on-par with Goku or Vegeta. Dabra meanwhile is moderately weaker than SS1 Gohan, and gets turned to mush.

6) Freeza's closed the gap and is more or less Goku's equal now in raw power, but Goku's still the more skilled of the two, and we don't know if those new cybernetics helped Freeza at all with the strain of his 100% power. Goku wins a close and brutal fight.

7) If both Androids are operating at full power, then Trunks isn't going to matter all that much. Eighteen and Trunks' chances of winning are very slim.

8) The group of heroes (plus Vegeta) win this one, but it's a close call, and Nail does most of the work.

9) I think raw strength in numbers is going to prevail here, but only if Yajirobe is his post-Saiyans-training self, and thus able to take on most of the workload. If this is BEFORE anyone has trained for the Saiyans' arrival, then... pshh. A single Saibaiman can kill them all pretty easily.

10) I usually like to give Pui-Pui some extra credit and consider him between 1st- and 2nd-form Freeza in power, given how Bobbidi supposedly only recruited the universe's strongest warriors. So with their fancier tricks being denied them, the Ginyu Force gets easily solo'd.

11) I'll give this one to Videl. Mostly just my gut saying so, but I do think that just by learning how to use her ki, her battle power managed to rise a noteworthy amount. In a word... she's now technically "super-human," and they're not.

12) If Bobbidi's magic is potent enough that even the Kaioshin, the god among gods, is wary of him, then I'm betting Kami won't be able to resist whatever tricks the slimy little wizard has up his sleeves.

13) I think Popo's popownage of Goku when they first met was due more to his ki-sensing advantage and being acclimated to the temple's atmosphere, and less from a huge gap in power. So by working together with the demon-spawn as back up, Goku and Piccolo can PROBABLY take Popo down. I'll label this one a 50/50 thing.
