Cell was so much faster than goku that he could barely follow his movement.He was able to counterattack but he wasnt able to hit cell no even once.How big was the gap in your opinion?
Cell was clearly a bit ahead of Goku, seeing as the latter was in the lose side the entire time, but Goku was still close to a certain extent, enough to keep up an entertaining fight to Cell.
If suppressed Cell was 100, I'd say Goku was a 90 or so.
I like what both ahil1 and Hit said, I think Goku being 88-90% of Suppressed Cell is fair. Goku could counter and defend himself against Cell to an extent but he wasn't being dominated. I think Cell had the edge in speed more than power, with an amplified attack, Goku was able to do some serious damage to Cell. I have Gohan being 1.25x stronger than Goku, so I put suppressed Cell inbetween the two.
