Early DB fights where skill is a factor

I'm talking about fights with seemingly large gaps where we can minimize the gaps, claiming the skill
makes a difference.
-Goku vs Bear Thief: Goku dodged the initial attack with his agility (he was more agile than the foe in many
equal fights) and won with an attack in the eyes.
-Goku vs Krillin (dragonball hunt): We never saw what exactly happened there.
-Initial Roshi vs Yamcha: Roshi clearly states Yamcha's excessive movements are a factor. The out of bounds
with a gust of wind was not necessarily an indicator of a huge gap. Yamcha was caught off guard, the same
way 50% Freeza was thrown over the horizon by Piccolo.
-Goku vs Blue: After Blue declares he'll get serious, all that happens is Goku dodging the initial attack and kneeing
the foe in the back of the nece, yet Blue recovers.

Early DB is all about martial arts where skills MATTERS a lot. Z on the other hand is all about getting stronger and skills seems to be secondary IMO.

Roshi vs Yamcha was a skill based fight?

Well damn, I guess Blue vs Tao was a skill based fight as well. Tao simply used his superior maneuverability to get by Blue's side, and focused ki into his tongue when he hit Blue's temple.

We definitely have to consider skill as a factor at Tao vs Blue, otherwise, their gap should be over 1000x.

That's not how power levels work. Vegeta blasted Cui to pieces with his fingers, and even taking into account Cui having a loss of yuuki or some shit, the gap shouldn't come anywhere close to 10x.
