My confusion about 22nd TB gaps

[withheldforprivacy]

This is only for open minded people. Guidebook wankers cannot help me clear my confusion, so they don't
need to bother answering this thread.

1. When Roshi sees Goku's full match level, he thinks Goku might have surpassed him. This indicates:
Goku (match level)~Roshi

2. When Tenshinhan and Roshi are about to fight, Goku states either of the two can win. Later, Roshi says he
probably would have lost. That indicates Roshi and Tien are close:
Tien~Roshi

3. Finally, Goku's battle level is stated by Tien to be a whole other level of power, which indicates a large gap
between the two levels:
Goku (match level)<<Goku (true power)
But, that also indicates a large gap between FP Goku and Roshi/Tien. Also, Tien only had a moderate
advantage over Match Level Goku. So, how is this sloved?

First of all, can you please not be so rude in every single post you make? "Guidebook wankers" is not a term we want to use here. I'm getting exceedingly annoyed with your attitude.

1. Roshi wasn't being completely honest. There's no doubt Goku has surpassed him with how he speaks of him later in the arc.

2. Tenshinhan wasn't using his full power, he confirms this later.

3. Point 2 solves this.

Roshi knew Tien hadn't gone all out.

Roshi knew Tien hadn't gone all out.

But he wouldn't have known how much power he was holding back. They were close in the fight they had, but Roshi knew that if Tien brought out all his power that he'd have a massive uphill battle, that he'd almost certainly lose.

Goku and Tien were close in power, definitely stronger than Master Roshi. But not by the amount that they could utterly humiliate him in a fight.

Seeing as Goku's Match Level was implied to be stronger than Roshi then I would say he was above him enough to utterly humiliate him.
