Who wins? Trunks has no speed issues and Grade 1-like stamina issues.

I can only confidently say that Piccolo became stronger than Grade 2, can't see him surpassing Grade 3 personally.

Piccolo would at best be more or less on par with the Cell who stomped Grade 2 Vegeta imo, so he gets turned into soylent green.

Honestly, i don't see a way Piccolo could do anything to Trunks here. I have a hard time believing he can even beat Grade 1 Trunks.

Why u gotta downplay big green? :shc :giraffe He shouldn't be that weak considering he held his own against a cell junior, maybe not as good as SS Trunks and Vegeta but still well enough to not be easy one shot material.

Did he? Cell didn't even mention his name. And the Earthlings weren't one shoted either, nor was Goku.

Was Piccolo knocked down to the ground like Goku and the Earthlings? :rumoosh

Possibly. For all we know he could've been knocked down but got back on his feet, like Gohan against Recoome.

Don’t see anything that suggests that, and the cover page for that chapter shows Piccolo standing alongside Trunks and Vegeta so...

Piccolo is standing up when Gohan transforms as well.

Evidently Piccolo got a nicer Cell Jr. than Goku and the earthlings did...

Good fight, I'd give this one to Piccolo though. I think as Super Saiyans Vegeta and Trunks have surpassed that power and Piccolo should be nearing the two of them.

More likely than him being strong enough to indeed hold his own given how he gets shat on at every turn. Standing means little to nothing when your opponents didn't even knock out tired ass Goku.

Base Vegeta was standing for a good while against Pure Boo. And Gohan was against Recoome. Oh and Pocus against Vegeta, Kaioshin against Majin Boo... I could go on this all day. It's very easy to stay on your feet when your opponent is barely trying.

Really? Cause i could swear all the Jrs where playing. Goku was beaten to the ground and Kuririn and the others were unconscious. Pratically the only difference between Goku's perfomance and Piccolo's is that Piccolo has the energy to pick himself from the ground.

I'm failing to see where he's being "shat on at every turn". Nowhere in the fight is Piccolo shown being completely overwhelmed. He is only slightly more scuffed than Trunks and Vegeta while Goku and the Earthlings are in awful shape.

So why aren't the Earthlings and Goku standing? :wtf

We never see Piccolo being knocked down in the first place, so you saying he "had the energy to pick himself up" is just making things up. There's a very clear difference in how he is portrayed compared to Goku and the Earthlings.

^ Wouldn't Piccolo standing alongside Trunks and Vegeta suggest he's closer to them than Goku?

Gets shat on at every turn in terms of statements. Nobody expects anything impressive for Post Rosat Piccolo and when he leaves the Rosat, Goku makes fun on his power and Cell doesn't even acknowledges his power up, despite acknowleding Vegeta's and Trunks's.

So why aren't the Earthlings and Goku standing? :wtf

Earthlings are as fragile as glass. Goku has literally no energy left to do anything.

It's a possibility that i suggested. It's very likely he never fell in the first place too. Point is, standing doesn't mean he's close to Vegeta and Trunks because there are other characters who could stand up to stronger, although playful foes even if they had to pick themselves from the ground sometimes.

The cover implies he's doing better, although worse than Vegeta and Trunks (He's clearly doubling over on the shot). Tough to tell whether Piccolo really is closer to them than to Goku, given how the Jrs were playing around.

He should've still had a significant portion of his Ki even at that point, probably no less than 40% based on the latter portion of his fight against Shello still being fairly even, unless you believe shooting a volley of Ki blasts was somehow more taxing than a Kamehameha because plot.

Cell had given the order for his children to stop playing around prior to #16's speech to Gohan though. Whilst you could say the fact that the humans were still alive disproves this, it would seem to suggest that they were at least displaying their full power and not outright going for the kill. If Piccolo were complete trash, it's doubtful he'd be able to get up and would be in the same position as Galu and the fodder trio.
