Everyone's power matters here dude. We are literally debating suppression power on a reg.

The bottom line is, Piccolo is somewhere in the vicinity of 50% Goku. Period. How far behind, ahead, is up to interpretation of the viewer.

At best around #16, maybe a bit higher.

Cell doesn't even mention Piccolo, when he talks about the characters which have improved and could figh him. Only Vegeta and Trunks.

Cell appeared to assume Vegeta and Trunks got stronger, if anything. Trunks did tell him how they improved so quickly. He also ignored Gohan and laughed at the idea of him being a challenger when he was mentioned.

From a writing-perspective you can easily tell why Gohan was left unmentioned. He had never been in that position in the story before, where he was clearly (and for an extended period of time, so no rage-boost) the highest character. The others had been at one point or another. Gohan also wasn't really at full-power when he was just watching the fight between Goku and Cell.

No one was actually powered-up, though. Vegeta and Trunks were in Base when Cell assumed (right as Vegeta arrived, Cell said he "better had improved" or something along those lines) they might've gotten stronger.

Piccolo's weaker than Vegeta and Trunks, but still way above tired Goku at the very least. I guess my point is Cell disregarding Piccolo doesn't necessarily tell us how strong he is. What it tells us is that, presumably, he'd be weaker than a hypothetically stronger Vegeta and Trunks.

Or it means Piccolo is so irrelevant he doesn't need to be mentioned. Through-out all of the Cell-Games, Piccolo never even got one mention at any point. Even Vegeta and Trunks being barely able to defend themselves left it ambiguous.

You're awesome.

Piccolo not being acknowledged is really making me rethink his power, though. Before the rosat, Piccolo couldn't comprehend anyone ever being a match for Semi-Cell, so it does make you wonder.

The fact that Goku was quick to ask him if he could split with Kami also disregards his presence in the Cell Games. Yeah....not so sure about Piccolo anymore.

Thank you. You are kewl, too. :king :king :king

That's why I also for the longest time thought Piccolo is still below Semi-Perfect Cell. He didn't think anyone could ever get there. I think that along with Piccolo's apparent irrelevancy at the Cell-Games, I see no reason for him to have reached the level he said he never thought could be reached. Also Vegeta scoffed at Piccolo after Piccolo came-out of the RoSaT as if he just wasted his time in there (he basically did say there was no point in Piccolo entering the RoSaT). He certainly didn't treat him with as much reverence as 50% Goku. Even after RoSaT, Goku was still Vegeta's goal to surpass. Just my opinion.

Semi Cell >> Piccolo? Wtf? Semi Cell should be the baseline for his power. He was even stronger than the SSJs before Rosat, yet he receives such a shitty boost that places him on 16 level after his Rosat training? Hell no.

Why would Trunks be shocked that Piccolo is piece of shit if he can't even beat Semi Cell? How can Piccolo stand like he did at the Cell Jrs being weaker than Semi Cell? Yeah, he wasn't going toe to toe with them like Vegeta and Trunks, but he was on his feet and even punches his Cell Jr in one momment. The Cell Jrs weren't toying, they only hold back enough to don't kill Goku and the humans. Piccolo even ends the fight on the same shape as Vegeta and Trunks. And like Herms says on the Strength Checker, Piccolo not being on Cell's quote doesn't mean he wasn't holding his own.

He did look like there wasn't much room for him to get any higher anymore.

Tenshinhan stood against a Cell Jr., too. Does that mean Tenshinhan is on-par with post-RoSaT Super-Saiyans too?

Yeah, that's why he was able to deflect Buutenks' blast :kenshi

But serious, Tenshinhan was in his feet for one panel. Piccolo was on his feet the whole damn time.

What if that was just to show the difference between the humans and Piccolo? Like Piccolo is trash now too, but he's still nowhere as low as Kuririn or the others.

Yes. He's trash, but not as trash as Tired Goku and the humans.
