Should the gap between 40% Old Piccolo Daimao vs Goku be larger than Goku vs Tao Pai Pai (First Fight)

[Animelover5487]

The reason I say this is King Piccolo has the best ki tanking feat in all of DB, and one of the best of the series overall bearing Imperfect Cell (More Humans) tanking Piccolo's special attack which could be explained as Piccolo just being tired from his fight with 17. King Piccolo literally just stood through Goku's Kamehameha without doing a thing, not even suffering clothing damage. While Tao Pai Pai needed to clutch his arms in front of his chest and block it, and still suffered clothing damage.

ye, i think it can be

i don't think tao had to have been at full-power in their 1st fight either, even-tho it is a possibility

Tao is probably holding back against Goku in their first fight, but Piccolo is holding back way more.

And absolutely. Piccolo > Goku by a greater margin than Tao > Goku for sure. Piccolo completely tanks his blast without blocking and the beatdown he put on Goku was more severe.
