They weren't kidding when they said Buu "slimmed" down.

Man. That's so weird.

We'll never see that Solar Flare Destructo Disk in canon, but Krillin seems to have more or less stolen the main Solar Flare from Tien.

But Tien's got the Kikohou, so he'll be good.

No, Saiga, you're supposed to pretend that's a good move, just like we do with the Kienzan.

Hey, Tien was able to push back Imperfect Cell: a guy significantly more powerful than him. In this tournament, you lose if you fall off the edge. THEREFORE...

Shit it is a genuinely game-breaking technique now.

I'm sure he's stronger than Semi-Perfect Cell at this point.

Lol, what? Why would he be? The base Saiyans weren't stronger than Freeza in BOG.

Oh, right, Super logic.

Eh shonen power-scaling.

As they say.... POWER LEVELS ARE BULLSHIT!!!!!

Cause yeah fuck logic.

I thought I heard something about Krillin being just below Mr. Buu now. If so, logic is already way gone when it comes to powerscaling.

#55039: Apr 1st 2017 at 6:16:30 PM

But even with Super's different power level logic, I doubt anyone writing would actually decide Tenshinhan is stronger than semi-perfect Cell. They might write him as being able to contend with someone stronger than that, without ever considering him as stronger than Cell. Which doesn't make sense, but I think it's more accurate to how Super is approaching power levels.

So I wouldn't say there's any reason to make that assumption, because there is no way in hell he'd be that strong by conventional logic, and Super hasn't really tried establishing the characters as stronger than particular benchmarks, they're more for Strong as They Need to Be.

[up] That's one interpretation based on the 'image fight' with Bergamo and his fight with Gohan. Although I am not sure base Gohan is meant to be seen as more powerful than Mr Boo.

The old way of interpreting things really doesn't fly with how Super presents things though. It doesn't do power levels the way the manga did.

Not cool dude.

Anyway, lets not get into the whole Tien thing again. Since it seems now bringing up his Kikohou feat with Semi Perfect Cell is now on the same level of mentioning Yamcha.

Krillin can apparently slightly push back a Kamehameha from SSB Goku...

Cause he's taking things seriously for once.

Also he's Super Buu, not Evil Buu. The latter was stick skinny, Buu's skinny but he's noticeably fit like Super was.

The way he's drawn puts him somewhere in the middle...no definites.

Also, I don't see how slimming down accomplishes anything, it's not like he was affected by his size.

All this does is prove that he...can lose weight, which is interesting considering his biology. But whatever.

We already know from NPC dialogue in the Xenoverse games that majins can lose weight by exercising. I mean, you tell me there are Dragon Ball fans who haven't obsessively combed through the dialogue in the licensed games?!

Ok well since power levels are just out the window, I now declare based off ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that Yamcha could take Perfect Cell.

I do hope they put this body type for the Majins in Xenoverse, whether it be for 3 or DLC for 2.

I want to create a Super Majin.

Super logic: it works on two levels.

(Also there's a song named Superlogico that I like.)
