Who wins these matches?
- The Armored Titan takes this.
- Arlong is one tough bastard and if he can evade General Blue's telekinesis, he could put a genuine fight. But if Blue can get Arlong in his telekinesis trap, Arlong is finished.
- Jackie Chun wins mild difficulty
- Radditz one shots

— Kim's pretty smart and athletic, but she doesn't have super-strength or the ability to fly like Videl has. This is one straight-up fight that's not possible for her to win.
if she has Ron helping with his Tai Shing Pek Kwar Videl is screwed. Hell, Kim has mastered 16 fighting styles, even lacking strength she could win alone. She is was constantly fighting on par with Shego who has alien super powers that did not just let her throw energy but raised her power while punching with those glowing fists. Without villains teaming up - Drakken & Shego, them, Fiske and Killigan, Warhok and Warmonga - she never had real problems.

Paikuhan because Gohan is stupid enough to get hit by that tornado attack.

I prefer Cyborg Taopaipai below Krillin and Yamcha at the 23rd. The latter two could keep up with weighted Goku and Tenshinhan's movements while Taopaipai couldn't keep track of a slower Tenshinhan.

It really doesn't seem like we're in too much of a disagreement here. I'm not arguing that characters off guard are affected more by attacks (e.g. Majin Vegeta VS. Goku). I'm merely saying that Gohan likely factored in he might get hit given that he could see the blast heading toward Vegeta as he took off. He miscalculated the attack's power, which is explicit. We both pretty much said the same thing here. The second thing is that in that other example, Goku can still fly on his own. He still has energy to spare. Vegeta, even with a hole in his chest could still stand and walk for a bit. I think it's fairly obvious that Gohan being completely drained and wounded is why he can't fly himself. He smiles at Yamcha with his eyes barely open. Your numbers are as valid as my are, however I don't believe either of our numbers are as valid as: SSJ2 Gohan <=> Super Perfect Cell.
Yeah, we can pretty much agree here, is just a few numbers that actually that started the whole thing.
I'd also like to bring forth the notion that Cell may not have been at full strength. Every time he regenerates from an attack, he loses ki. This is said when he regenerates from Goku's Kamehameha, it's the main reason he's weakened. Now if Cell regenerates from the absolute bare minimum, we don't know if the zenkai boosted the small amount of energy he had left, or rejuvenated him.
Oh yeah! I just notice that! What just happened there? I call the use of hacks right there. Either Cell has the best exploit ever seen in the history of mankind: Piccolo's regeneration after self destruct + Saiyan Zenkai = Infinite Stamina. Or Toriyama just said: "Fuck it. It is the end of the manga. To the hell with the logic I just established, I need to end this now. Is not like they're going to ask me for another saga, right?"

If that's the case for the effects of the regeneration, why did Cell go straight back to the Earth after recovering from such a horrible injury, wouldn't that mean that he lost way too much Ki? He indeed received the Zenkai, to be almost at par with Gohan at 100% without his anger boost, but he also lost way too much energy, if with Goku's Instant Kamehameha that only blew his top body everyone notice how much energy he lost after his recovery, why did he think that was a good moment to attack?

I also believe that everyone who watched the Cell Games can agree that Cell's lump is located where his peepee should be. Dr. Gero is indeed brilliant.

At one moment Cell stated that he didn't just recovered his Ultimate Power, that just like Goku, he went through a massive power up (this could probably be a bad translation). By ultimate power he could probably be referring to his Perfect Form, not his 100% if that's the case, why did he come back to Earth right away if he wasn't in conditions of fighting Gohan after the explosion happened?

Was Vegeta being a drama queen part of his plan in order to hurt Gohan?

There's nothing to suggest Cooler was at anything less than full power. The movie seems pretty clear to me. Goku fights Cooler's normal form, is equal or slightly stronger, so Cooler transforms to his 5th form and starts winning, so Goku goes SSJ and wins. SSJ Goku > 5th form Cooler > base Goku >= 'base' Cooler

I'm not saying it's impossible that Cooler could've powered up more in his existing form and just chose to transform instead, but that seems kind of simple guesswork based on how strong it feels like Cooler "should" be, rather than what he's actually presented as.

So SSGSS Vegeta, from RF, getting the same boost as he did in BoG when angry at Beers? He'd still lose in my opinion. I don't rank "Rageta" all that high compared to others. Only slightly stronger than SS3 Goku and still one-shot material for SS Gotenks / Evil Boo / Ultimate Gohan +. With a ~3-5x boost I'd only place him stronger than Super Android #17 personally.

Is this Super #17 post or pre energy absorption?

Also, I never got this: Dr. Myuu states that Super #17 is twice as strong as Android 17... so... why isn't any of the GT Warriors laughing at him? .-.

Post-absorption.

That's a dub line, and #17 is a lot stronger in GT.

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.

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.

Really? So what's the equivalent of that line in the original version?

Also, I didn't know that Android 17 got stronger, he doesn't seem to be the kind that trains his body... his android body. No, but seriously, how and when?

I don't have the specific quote, I just remember that line being in the dub only, and I'm too lazy to check my DVDs. You can look through the strength checker here.

He apparently got his dormant power unlocked. He was strong enough to one-shot GT Trunks who is incredibly haxed to Ultimate Gohan tier+.
