** Android 17 and 18 have Kaio-ken. ...But Gero rushed it and didn't have the chance or knowledge to program them to know how to ''use'' it properly. Thus neither Android is capable to actually use properly like they could in Kuroda's timeline.
** Because Celline never encountered Kuroda, she doesn't have any data to counter her fighting style. Celline initially scares her from participating in the battle by blasting her and letting her be healed as a warning and threatening to blow up the planet if Android 16 and she fight. 16 eventually picks up on why she did this action and points this out to Kuroda, who promptly jumps in on the fight once told. Sure enough, her participation ends up leading to Celline's defeat.

** Celline zig-zags this trope, able to fight Goku while she is at Full-Power Super-Saiyan, as well as 4 other fighters that are as strong as a regular Super-Saiyan, also knowing Kaio-ken. Though Celline's regeneration isn't as good as the original Perfect Cell's, since Piccolo is a smaller percentage of her DNA, and having to do a significant amount of regeneration weakens her a lot.
