Trunks said they were outrageously strong compared to their future selves and that he could at least hold his own a bit against the future cyborgs, whereas he got KO'd in one hit by the present ones. I think they would be 33-50% stronger than their future selves or so.dragon boss z wrote:Vegeta may or may not of been stronger than 3rd form Frieza and we don't know how the future androids compare to the present ones, all we know is the present ones are stronger.
He outright asked Tenshinhan and Piccolo to stay out of it, so it seems like so.Did Goku actually say he thought he could beat two androids stronger than Trunks alone?
Piccolo is a considerably superior fighter than Freeza though. He's one of the smartest fighters of the series and is able to sense Ki, what gives a huge advantage over Freeza.There was no proof he was going to win. He was more beat up than Frieza after their fight and who knows if taking off his weighted clothes would of been enough.
It was filler.Didn't Cell use it without charging up? Also it's not like Piccolo was alone, he could of been banking on teamwork and strategy, which is backed up by how he let 20 inure him to try a sneak attack.
You're right though. If the androids were expected to be around Goku, then Piccolo can comfortably charge and fire a Special Beam Cannon. Though he does ask to fight #20 all on his own later, so...
Because he just fought him and gauged his movements. That's how people would gauge someone's power back on Part I.The androids don't have energy to sense so how would Piccolo know for sure? And Vegeta flat out said based off what he saw they where nowhere near what they were made out to be.
I think Piccolo's statements differ from Vegeta's for another reason that's not power. I mean, Vegeta calls both weak:
Chapter 343 (DBZ 149), P7.4
Vegeta: “I’ve realized by watching your faint movements up to now…That you guys don’t seem as terrible as the rumors made out.”
But then Piccolo also uses plural on his statement, showing he refers to both androids on his statement:
Chapter: 347 (DBZ 153), P3.2-3
Piccolo: “It seems that in the original history, we were supposed to be wiped out by you two androids…But it looks like the future has changed somehow…Was it that you weren’t as strong as we thought?...Or have we grown too strong?...
So the statements are contradicting each other. I think Piccolo is looking at it from a wider perspective, that they trained too much and are strong enough, but it was too easy. Vegeta is looking at it from a narrower perspective, he expected the androids to give him the fight of his life. It's all or nothing for Vegeta.
