Throw power-scaling and gaps out the window, focus more on the technique of the individual fighters, and suddenly everything makes sense.Captain Cadaver said:Goku figured out the secret to countering Hit's time leap, whereas Vegeta didn't, which is why Goku performed better. The most this shows is that the gap between Base Goku and Super Saiyan Blue isn't enormous, at least not the standard 50x SSJ gap based on his durability feats, though Base Goku > SSB Vegeta is obviously flawed by the fact that everything else beforehand presents them as equals in terms of power.
