Because of Gotenks going from SSJ2 level to rivaling SSJ3 Goku with SSJ right? That’s certainly part of the reason too. Just base Gotenks being too OP and making 50x serm off.
Yeah, because if Base Gotenks is that strong and the multiplier is 50x, SSJ3 is forced to have a multiplier of around the same level. That doesn't make sense when SSJ2 Vegeta was considered relevant enough to fight against Pure Boo.

Yeah, I definitely get that. I'll have to think of some better counters. The reduced multiplier approach isn't a bad one. I don't go by it, but it's pretty solid.

Relative to his potara counterpart. They were both essentially deus ex machina options for whichever Buu is giving them more trouble than they bargained for. The concept of Vegito's longevity waned when we found out how the duration differs for mortals.

Well the reason Vegetto split was because of the air in Buu’s body. Not a time limit issue.

Potara runs out after an hour according to modern material. I know that Buu's body is a special case since that can even make Kais defuse.

Manga Gogeta should be weak. Much weaker than Vegetto ofc.

I have kids post on Pre Majin Vegeta level and I think Gogeta should just be SSJ2 Goku + SSJ2 Vegeta on top of SSJ forms ofc. Gogeta's 2.4x Gotenks same form.

Maybe Buuhan saying Gogeta would be no match for him holds some true and he's not entirely arrogant. Only way's lowballing Ultimate Gohan like just 25% stronger than Super Buu/SSJ3 Gotenks, but he's much more. In relation of SSJ Vegetto who's much stronger than even SSJ3 Gotenks, Gogeta's very weak even on SSJ3.

For what reason?

Kids are only CG Vegeta/Trunks level confirmed by DBS manga. They are nowhere near Pre-Majin Vegeta level.

Buuhan said the same about Gokhan and Super Vegetto. It's bunk.

Yes, but how can be sustained through 90's material?

Trunks made Vegeta sweat and struggle when dodging his fists. CG Vegeta/Trunks are nowhere near capable of doing that.

Kid Trunks was able of making Majin Buu flying away while Gohan didn't do any harm (whichever form he's in). There's also Kid Trunks suggesting teaming up w/Goten & Majin Vegeta vs Majin Buu.
Buuhan said the same about Gokhan and Super Vegetto. It's bunk.
I can say there are cons and pros of Buuhan being right, but I am not exactly supportive of him. If I have make one case against him, story on itself portrays how you can't predict how strong saiyans can get, which is why villains constantly fails on their predictions.

Why not? It’s just training.
Kkx2 Goku struggled on dodging Vegeta's blast.

How much of gap you're seriously suggesting CG Trunks/Vegeta could fit on when they're far from reaching 100% Goku's level?

Training argument doesn't work much specially when we have SSJ Goku being calm w/Piccolo & Gohan.

@AngelBorninHell

So what are you suggesting? The boys got weaker from Buu Saga to ToP?
I have few options here:

1- Vegeta's comments meant something else.
2- That was retcon.
3- Contradicts previous material.

In fact, I believe newer material can clarify things from past, but if contradictions are that heavy compared on original material, it'd end up on contradictions and statement becomes obsolete. Finally, if something comes from Super manga, I don't have any reason of believing so lulz.

They didn't. It's clear what they meant. You are trying to create your own story here instead of taking what has been given.

2- That was retcon.
So the way retcons work is that they supersede previous material and a new interpretation of the material must now be made. This is how it works.

3- Contradicts previous material.
Source material that contradicts previous source material retcons it. So the previous source material is no longer valid.

Yeah, so your argument is essentially invalid. As long as you admit it, I'm cool.

Not really. Lumping two characters and saying they're strong doesn't put them on same category.

Yes, but when talking specifically of how things were written makes difference between one thing and other. For example, some can say of how strong Gogeta would have been on manga if scripted on 90's and another's according of recent material. There are two areas which are divided.
Source material that contradicts previous source material retcons it. So the previous source material is no longer valid.
Problem's this seems of being manga-exclusive, why do I refer of this? For example, when something appears on manga or anime and doesn't corroborate both ways, there's fundamentally skeptism among both areas and makes exclusive from one way or other. If both manga and anime synthonize same idea, yes, retcon's applied, w/have examples of Potara being 1 hour, androids being able of getting stronger through training, ultimate form being configured, mentioning some. If anime haven't Vegeta saying 17 that, then it's not fundamentally an idea of Toriyama's work.

DBS Manga's full of horrible writing, someone keeping skeptism of that's isn't neccesarily invalid.
