Well, the Galaxy Patrol as a whole is supposed to be pretty shitty. There's a reason they were completely helpless against Frieza: he had all the strongest guys (and was stronger then the entire group on his own).

I wonder how much better the Universe 6 Galactic Patrol is.

Though i guess the Saiyans fill that role in U 6.

That sounds about right.

In a universe where Frieza is less openly evil (but still pretty evil), it makes sense that the Saiyans would be the equivalent of the Galatic Patrol.

Of course, no one else could be competent at defending the universe.

I do find it funny that Cabba ratting out Frost just results in the latter going into hiding instead of, y'know, a massive space war like you'd expect in the main series.

There are a lot more Saiyans in that universe then in Goku's, and Cabba probably taught all of them how to go Super Saiyan if they were strong enough.

He'd need to go into hiding.

Kinda put's Frieza's FUCK YEAH GENOCIDE! attitude into perspective.

Super Saiyan Cabba could trounce Frost like wet tissue paper, from what we've seen of both.

To contrast, Goku was the strongest Saiyan ever by some orders of magnitude when he fought Freeza, and his Super Saiyan was still in the same ballpark as 100% Freeza.

Frost is no match unless he gets something akin to a Golden form.

Well, hopefully that won't happen. If he's on the run from angry monkey justice, he shouldn't have time to train to that extent.

Super Saiyan Goku was 25% stronger than 100% Frieza.

And yet 100% Freeza was 20% weaker than Goku.

Yeah, lets take the power level bait.

Super Saiyan Goku was 1.25 times stronger than 100% Freeza.

50% Freeza was 20 times stronger than Goku, ~60 times stronger than Piccolo, and 500 times stronger than Ginyu.

Yeah, I'd say Super Saiyan Goku and 100% Freeza were in the same ballpark. Goku was slighty stronger and more skilled.

On the other hand, one may say that Freeza was overwhelmingly stronger than anything but a Super Saiyan, even if Goku without Super Saiyan was stronger than anybody else. And a Super Saiyan Goku overwhelmed Freeza and forced him into 100%, where he could hold on for a bit rather than being overwhelmed, but still was in losing conditions.

There different levels of "overwhelming". Frieza never stood a chance and nothing he did actually hurt Goku. I''d say that counts. You can try and say skill was the bigger factor but it wasn't treated that way.

Dragon Ball Super Episode 54 contained an ad for the extended TV cut Revival Of F got. Not only does this prove me entirely correct in that retelling the two movies was entirely pointless when they could have just been shown on television again in between new content, I can take it as open acknowledgement they new their Revival Of F retelling was garbage and they want you to just watch the movie again instead.

Super's Resurrection 'F' retelling was flawed, certainly, and not quite as good as the movie, but it had some good points, and some parts were executed much better in Super's version, like the planet exploding and Vegeta vs Freeza.

Yeah, i did like that we saw the supporting cast get caught in the blast, it made the scene far more horrifying.

Guess this counts as a smirk...

By that same logic, Goku was stronger than Cell, as he was smirking back after getting serious blows. Standard trash talking and Blood Knight procedures.

But whatever floats your boat Saiga.

Goku sandbags, people. He's probably trying to make Freeza's defeat as demoralizing as possible.

What floats my boat is reading something all the way through before running my mouth, but I guess that's not for everyone.smile

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/this_is_what_a_smirk_looks_like.jpg























[up][up] Goku was actually smirking in reaction to Freeza's blows and saying he'd be disappointed if that was Freeza's level.

With Cell, he was excited because he was outmatched. He was very openly sandbagging against Freeza, then went on to say how disappointing Freeza was at his peak (when he decides he can't even be bothered to finish the match). To try and compare two completely different fights like that is just ridiculous.

Yeah, it had to be something like that...because that shot of Kakarrot getting punched looked familiar.

It looked like the punch that came before the smirk in Anime times.
