Goku wasn't all that much inferior to Cell though. Vegeta was by a large margin.

No, it's just we never have been able to figure out ki blasts at all.

Well I'd at least say in some occasions fighter A is clearly stronger than fighter B's blast. Old Piccolo Daimao, for example, is clearly stronger than Goku's KMHMH, as well as Imperfect Cell is stronger than Piccolo's Gekiretsu Kodan.

When a ki blast is vastly inferior, it seems easy. When vastly superior, easy as well. When it becomes difficult is when it gets close to the opponent's power.

I can agree with Cell being stronger than the Light Grenade, but I don't think amplification should be all that high. Goku's Kamehameha should not be 2.22x, that's way too high.

I think 50% Goku ~ grade 3 Trunks really does work well. They all expected Cell to have more power than what he showed against Vegeta and Trunks, yet when Goku initially shows his 50% they initially think it could be his full power. Only after the RoSaT Piccolo highly suspects 50% wasn't 100% and Trunks learned from this.

They all think Cell [expected power] >> Cell [vs vegeta]. 50% Goku can possibly be his full power and Goku's power isn't suggested to be massively inferior to Cell, on the other hand they think they are close to some extent. So: Cell [expexted power] >= Goku [50%] >> Cell [vs vegeta].

Since grade 3 is also said to have surpassed Cell by a good margin, then I think 50% & expected Cell being ~ grade 3 makes sense. But with way greater speed, of course.

I don't think Grade 3 is enough. Goku states, "There's no telling how strong he could be when it gets down to business." That doesn't sound like a 1.2x boost that Grade 3 is over Cell's base power. This is a time when you are so desperate to make your numbers work, you have lost sight of the bigger goal.

Grade 3 is stated to have surpassed Cell by a good margin, so I don't see the problem there.

Sure, Freeza in his second form powering up is suggested to have powered up beyond his initial power by a good margin as well. How much do you think Cell's statement suggests he's stronger by?

Dunno, but I think Goku showing his 50% gave all of them a good placement for Cell, "not too much above 50% Goku".

Agreed. I just think the narrative of the story goes like this.

50% Goku >> All

Is what I saw. Everyone shits their pants at his power. I think the story is intended to showcase Goku as the most powerful without a doubt. That's generally how Dragonball works. Why have them shit their pants and make this big deal if he isn't at least the strongest?

I agree with P here. It definitely isn't one of the surest things but I would bet Toriyama had Goku > Trunks in mind there

Well the grade 3 power was also showed to be something incredible that surpassed Cell's power. Its only deficience was the speed, that wasn't on par with the chi level output, so if someone showcased that level of power but with speed that matches said power, those reactions would make as sense as if it were >>> grade 3 imo.

As for what you said about "how strong they expected Cell to be when Goku said 'there's no telling...' "... they also expected Cell to be way stronger than their initial estimations when Kamiccolo was told to be useless, right? Yet they were all blown out by 100% Goku, meaning it surpassed all their expectations. What does this mean?

Grade 3? More or less a 4x boost. Actually a bit more.

Ahill, you don't think Raditz displayed different power levels?

I do, but since his battle power is already more or less defined in the manga (a bit above 1,200) then I don't add those. I just make the "different levels breakdown" when said character's BP is entirely speculation so we need it to find an accurate place for him.

Fair enough. I'd like to see what you would have though.

From what I saw, Raditz displayed 3 different levels.

Piccolo 408
Goku 416
Raditz (initial) 560
~putting more effort 750
~blocking the KMHMH 1,050
~full power (dodging Makankosappo) 1,250

Seems rather good IMO.

You think 560 can tank 322 amplified blast like nothing?
