You think their bases are really this high? In my list thats almost as high as Goku's base.
I have Goku at 2,000,000,000 in the Buu arc.
Not against opinions.. But holy crud!

People here were trying to say Goku was only "marginally stronger" than Cell arc. Apparently thats not the case! I'm new to these numbers!

Yakon vs Dr. Gero
In my opinion: Yakon = several times stronger than Freeza. Gero = several times weaker than Freeza. So...
Androids 16, 17, and 18 vs Haze, Rage, and Naturon Shenron
Those are GT characters. They could easily one-shot Buuhan.
Tenshinhan vs Tambourine
Tien was about as strong as Goku at the tournament, who destroyed Tambourine once he was well rested. So Tien wins with ease.
and Roshi vs Cymbol/Tambourine
Cymbal is maybe a third as strong as Roshi, so Roshi'd take him out no problem. Tambourine might be more difficult; I'd imagine that he's marginally weaker than Roshi, but Roshi can't fly. Given his rating at the start of Z, I'd probably say Roshi would lose, since flying gives Tambourine too big of an advantage for the marginal power difference to matter.

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.

I have Super Perfect Cell at 180,000,000,000 so Ssj2 Goku is only marginally stronger since you know the Ssj2 multiplier. I honestly don't see how 2 Billion is so ridiculous. It's not that high.

Eternal Super Saiyan it all comes down to where you place Piccolo in the Buu arc, above or below the base Saiyans. :)

The only way I can see them this high, as if you consider "Full Power" SSJ to actually be a form. I don't, so my numbers are way lower.

I have SSJ2 Gohan at the Cell Games around 15,000,000,000 - 20,000,000,000. And that was before I revised them. Now he's at like 6,000,000,000 or 8,000,000,000

That's incredible low compared to mine hehe, 1,350,000,000,000 for me.

Curious, what are your PL for Piccolo (fused with Kami) and IPC post Humans?

In the Android Saga, before Piccolo fuses with Kami i have him at 100,000,000, and 500,000,000 when he fused. That makes Android #17 at least 480,000,000 give or take. I always considered #20 to be under 100 million since we all know Piccolo made very short work out of him. Krillin did state Piccolo to already be "super strong" but any higher than 100,000,000 might over do it. Remember he was only just over 1,000,000 when he fought Frieza. Putting him higher than Frieza's max 120,000,000 in 3 years of training just doesn't sound right. This means he trains harder than everybody else?

Imperfect Cell at 1,000,000,000, and Perfect Cell at 2,000,000,000 (suppressed). At the Cell Games i imagine Cell being no higher than 5,000,000,000 full power.

And again, I do not consider a FP SSJ to actually be a form, it is still 50x base. My thinking is that Goku + Gohan making SSJ normal, increased their bases rather than allowing them to power up more. If it was really higher than 50x base their muscles would begin bulging out like the Ascended forms.

Humans? I decided not to even list them after Trunks showed. They made no difference in any of the fights. I know Tien was holding back Imperfect Cell (or Semi Perfect as some call it), but I doubt he was actually hurting him. He did state that he was only buying the androids a little time to escape, that was his only intention. And as I've said sometime ago, even if Tien was using Kaioken x20 + Tri Beam, he wouldn't stand a chance against Cell's first form. So their power levels are not even relevant to my list. ^_^

I have a power levels list on the Official Unofficial Power Levels thread. It's on page 81 if you're interested.

Just as I expected, you don't take into account Imperfect Cell's tank against Piccolo's Light Grenade. That instance completely bloats any power level list since the Light Grenade is no less than 3X Piccolo and for Cell to tank it he has to be 2X that.

Piccolo is >> Freeza BTW, remember that he trained with a SSJ. Amazing gains were stated.

I've never really found it necessary to fuss so much about attack multipliers, and speaking from experience, I wouldn't suggest doing so. They're too much of an indeterminate wild card.

Besides, these characters aren't glass cannons — I figure they can use their power for defense just as well as offense. You're not going to kill someone with a Pl of 50,000,000 just by generating an attack with a power of 50,000,001. If Piccolo's a 5, and Cell's pretty far ahead of him at, say, even just a 7 or 8, then Cell's going to have enough power of his own to defend against whatever Piccolo can throw at him with minimal damage.

Anyway, if anyone wants to discuss this "philosophy" further, I'd suggest either making a new thread for anything in-depth, or otherwise bringing it to the stickied Power Levels thread in the FanWorks section.

Of course not, that's a small difference, Dodoria vs Vegeta proved you need at least a 1.2x gap to kill another fighter with a Ki blast and SSJ Goku and 50% Freeza proved you need a 2x gap to tank a Ki attack head on without damage.

In any case, Kibito vs Freeza.

Gohan thought that Kibito could be a challenge for him without turning into a Super Saiyan, so his strength would depend on how strong you had the base saiyans. I have all of them stronger than Frieza, so Kibito takes this.

Officially, Kibito is more-or-less on par with base Gohan during the Boo arc, but I don't believe Gohan or the other adult Saiyans were QUITE as strong as Freeza yet in their base forms. So Kibito can put up a good fight, but with his 100% power, Freeza claims a clean win.

Kibito wasn't giving a Ki to sense, Gohan could have not know how strong he was (and there's the z-sword scene as well). I suspect Kibito wins this but with trouble, East Kaioshin did not include him in his "one shot Freeza" group.

I'm just going to say that I disagree with disregarding the guides and leave it that. Anyway:
Kibito vs Frieza
The guidebooks explicitly state that Kibito is about on par with base Gohan. I believe that base Gohan could easily kill a Freeza-level opponent in one hit, just because A. I believe Pui Pui was Freeza level and B. power gains are just that ridiculous in this series as a matter of course. So the fight between Kibito and Frieza would go like this:

It is stated that Kibito is barely weaker than Gohan in base. At this point it basically comes down to whether Gohan could one shot 100% freeza, or lose against him. Kibito would have the same outcome that Gohan would.
