Roshi Power Breakdown

[p123]

Let's take a look at Roshi's power.

1) It's quite possible his 21st Budokai power is a bit higher than his initial power. Jackie Chun is a good deal more buff than Roshi originally was. Whether this is just on the author or a possible indication of some training is up for debate. Are there any quotes to suggest he has powered up at all?

21st Budokai

He uses his effortless mode to evade Yamcha easily. He ends up having to work more to avoid Yamcha's WFF and has to do even more work to avoid Krillen's initial assault.

The question becomes, is Jackie Chun's power using the wind technique to send Yamcha flying and his punch that Krillen can't see, on a different level than what he showed as purely defensive?

Listen here bastards, you need to help me figure this shit out. Is this the case?

Roshi ( Serious ) >>> Roshi ( Semi Serious ) ~ Krillen ( Full Power ) > Roshi ( A Little Serious ) >> Roshi ( Relaxed ) >= Krillen ( Initial )


This is a game changing chain, add your input you fools!

I'm not sure i got what you ask, but...

-BODB Roshi=21st TB Roshi
The scene with the rock that implied he's weaker than his students was just a gag which was retconned in the fights.

-Roshi's powers at the tournament...
Power 1: Used against Yamcha and at the first seconds of his fight with Krillin, until the dwarf catches the first punch and Roshi says something
like ''impressive, you make me work''
Power 2: Speeds up against Krillin.
Power 3: Max non buffed, used only against Goku.
Power 4: Buffed. This is greater than Baba Saga Goku, so we also make some sense out of his later statements about Goku needing to further
train to surpass that power (''Goku, if you keep getting stronger, what will happen to my position?'')
I think his buffed power stays the same at 22nd TB, but, because he's trained, he can bring out more of it without buffing.

How many times did Roshi speed up against Krillen?

 

[withheldforprivacy]

Once?

 

[p123]

Well he says he did a weak punch initially. We see based on his effort he wasn't lying. The next punch seems to be a lot more oomph behind it. What I see is this...


Jackie Chun ( Serious ) >> Semi Serious > A little serious > Initial at Leisure power

Dunno, i'll check out Roshi vs Krillin again.

 

[p123]

Thanks. No one seems to be interested in this topic at all. It's pretty big concerning everything in Dragonball so feedback is greatly appreciated.

I'll reread the 21st Budokai again so I can help you... wait a moment.

No one in forums will be interested in anything unless it's related to Broly, Gotenks or Beerus. I reread that part and i saw those powers...
Power 1: Roshi uses it against Yamcha (doesn't power up in this fight) and begins with the same power against Krillin. The dwarf has him on the ropes
for a few pages, Roshi says he's impressed and raises things a notch.
Power 2: Almost speedblitz gap over Krillin, since the dwarf couldn't see the foe's movements until Goku told him to concentrate. After a series of
gag scenes, their gap is clear and Roshi ends it quickly.
Power 3: Full power. Uses it against Goku.

 

[p123]

No, Jackie Chun says I am going to end this now. And then proceeds to God Mode Krillen easily. Krillen senses it and becomes desperate. Meh, read it again lol.

Roshi admits to Krillen keeping up with his speed.

 

[withheldforprivacy]

Ok, then...
Initial Roshi/Krillin: 1
Roshi (speed up): 1.15-1.2
Roshi (end this)- 1.33

 

[p123]

Did you see how badly Krillen got hit and the crowds reaction? Don't you think you are nerfing a bit?

 

[ahill1]

I'll get into it latter.
