How strong are BoZ humans compared to 23rd Budokai?

[SSJ2]

As the title says. How do you think the BoZ humans would match up against 23rd Budokai contestants. Are they even close?

All besides Yamcha, Muten Roshi, and Yajirobe got moderately stronger.

Considering their battle powers at the start of Z, I'd assume Yamcha remained the same, likely due to his relationship with Bulma and his baseball career (it was Toriyama's idea and should be taking into account even when purely discussing the manga) would've taken priority; whilst Kuririn became decently stronger. Tenshinhan is hard to judge when he was already far above the other humans and far below Goku/Piccolo before, though I'd assume he got similar gains as Kuririn due to his focus on training.
Roshi may have gotten stronger when taking Super into account, though I'd say there's nothing to suggest it rather than the numbers being a bit too close and Roshi's off-hand surprise at Kuririn being far above him.

Yajirobe wouldn't have gotten any stronger. Chaozu probably did, though likely by just a minimal amount considering how close the BoZ numbers are together and he usually tends to peak far earlier than his peers.

Probably not by much, given the lack of resources or motivation to train intensively.

A gap does seem to have rose between Kuririn and Yamcha since the 22nd Budokai though, but it’s hard to tell if it was already there since the 23rd, created by Yamcha slacking off or created by Kuririn training harder than before.

How does Krillin match up against Piccolo Daimao?

 

[GSM123]

@[mention]SuperSaiyan2[/mention] hard to tell with precision. 23rd Kuririn does put up a fight against Piccolo Jr and even gets praized by him, but he's left jaw dropped by Goku's speed (Which is shown to be higher than Piccolo's, his small size as a kid constantly gave him an edge against bigger enemies).

In terms of raw power, I'd guess 23rd Kuririn is still lagging behind Daimao, enough for BoZ Kuririn to still fall behind somewhat.

[mention]GreatSaiyaman123[/mention] do you think 23rd Krillin would stomp initial Piccolo Daimao, just after gaining his youth back?

 

[withheldforprivacy]

Goku/Piccolo 1.5x stronger

Humans about 2x stronger each.

@GreatSaiyaman123 do you think 23rd Krillin would stomp initial Piccolo Daimao, just after gaining his youth back?

Probably. Aside from being revitalized Piccolo hadn't done any power up, so he'd still be using the same parcel of his power used to fight Goku: "Less than half" his true power. Scouter numbers may imply it's not a statement to be taken literally, but it would still mean he was nowhere near his best nonetheless.

It's arguable Kuririn could even beat Full Power Daimao thanks to his fighting prowess and techniques, so him beating Initial PD isn't hard to imagine.

Yamcha & Kuririn could be on-par with each-other even at the 23rd Tenkaichi-Budokai. The status-quo didn't seem to change and Yamcha also did good against Kami, considering who was up against.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

I agree. Yamcha and Kuririn were pretty much lumped together throughout the entirety of the 23rd TB when it came to how they were treat such as both keeping up with Goku VS Tenshinhan to equal degrees and both receiving similar praise from their opponent. I wouldn't say the gap between them changed between the 22nd and 23rd TB.

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

Barely noticeable gain.
