Krillin is far enough ahead that he could handle both simultaneously, full on DAP.

I don't think Krillin is that far ahead of Tien in general, so put them all at their peak and have Yamcha helping Tien, Krillin loses easily.

Krillin was stated to be the strongest human a lot and only Yamcha who got weaker since he quit martial arts while Tien still maintained his power, so Krillin wins this fight.

Incorrect. Try again.

This is all 3 at their peak, meaning all 3 at their strongest, and physical prime.

The only way I see the team winning is if Yamcha serves as a meat shield long enough for Ten to shoot the Kikoho.

I see Tien winning. He never stopped training. Krillin stopped training for years. And even though Neo Tri Beam only delayed Semi Perfect Cell that's still a better feat than anything Krillin's shown.

Tien also should be more skilled. He learned ki flight much earlier than Krillin did. He won against Kid Goku in the 22nd Budokai. And he managed to actually pressure Goku w/weights in the 23rd budokai with his skill and techniques despite Goku being much stronger.

Yamcha was the one who stated Krillin was the strongest. And he was saying it to Krillin's daughter. Not a very credible statement.

That maybe so, but we don't know how large the gap between them was prior to the Cell Games. The humans defeating the Ginyu Force on King Kai's planet was filler so as far as we know Ten could be as low as Saiyan arc Vegeta. Also, even if Ten is training who's to say it is beneficial training, his only training partner is Chaozu and he apparently farms now so I doubt it's any hard training just probably maintenance training.

That's not really a fair comparison since that's a technique Kuririn doesn't have. The only way you could compare them based on that is if Kuririn knew the Kikoho too.

That's because the Crane Hermit was his teacher who already knew how to fly. If Kuririn had the Crane as his teacher he could have learned it just as fast.

That wasn't skill, that was purely dumb luck. A truck just happened to hit Goku when Goku had the match won after using his last Kamehameha to speed up Ten's landing speed.

Not really, when Ten used his Multi Form technique Goku let himself get hit to find out it's weakness.

He only told Marron that Kuririn was the strongest, the "among humans" part was to himself.

Plus, Toriyama said Krillin is the strongest of the humans.

But I don't think he is necessarily leaps and bounds ahead of Tien. But he is stronger.

That doesn't have much bearing on who should be stronger than whom in this kind of series, mostly because "gains aren't consistent/static." Ten could get 20x stronger in a year but then slow down to 2x stronger in 10 years, and it'd be acceptable either way.
And even though Neo Tri Beam only delayed Semi Perfect Cell that's still a better feat than anything Krillin's shown.
When did Krillin use the Shin Kikoho on Cell or a similar opponent? That'd be like me claiming Krillin is stronger because he chopped off 2nd Form Freeza's tail while Tenshinhan didn't. The logic is fallacious.

Skill is debatable. Vegeta never trained with any masters and he was able to go toe-to-toe with Goku under equal circumstances.

Krillin has been stated to be the strongest human for more than a decade now, even in the newer material where Tenshinhan is clearly not forgotten about. But disregarding the new stuff for a moment, Krillin's officially been the strongest since the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai, which carried over throughout 2004 with an interview from Toriyama, and then so on. There is not one statement putting Tenshinhan ahead of Krillin past the Saiyan fight, and no comparable feats either. The least amount of assumptions would be in Krillin's favor.

Yamcha is too weak to be in the conversation imo. He's not even strong enough to provide a Jheese like distraction for Tenshinhan. Yamcha gets bodied, then Ten and Krillin have a solid fight with Krillin coming out on top... unless he gets shot first. :toei
