That's exactly what he means, the Super Saiyan has never had a set power level. Its not something that you can train to get stronger, just something that buffs your power level.

And yes, I would assume the current forms Goku & Vegeta use are stronger than the standard god form.

By the way, on the subject of powerups, you guys weren't kidding when you said Super Saiyan 3 kinda sucked. It can only be reliably used if you're dead.

Its pretty much the equivalent of a nuke; does lots of damage, but for a very short time.

By the way, anyone know how many filler characters Toriyama designed? I know he did Pikkon and Grand Kai. DB filler does a lot better at imitating the original's art style than many other anime.

Actually, every time we see Goku use Super Saiyan 3 after the Buu Saga, especially in Battle of Gods, he doesn't seem to have too much trouble transforming into and maintaining the form. He likely got better at using it.

Makes sense. Perhaps he'd only just created it around the time of the Buu saga, and was only just learning it's limits at that time.

Re-call the original Super-Saiyan form was pretty stressful even when Goku had already mastered transforming in and out of it. He had to learn to hold the form indefinitely before he fully perfected it.

The thing about SSJ3 is that it's a lot like Freeza at 100% power or in Golden form: It's stupid powerful (in this case, being a 400x power boost) but it drains energy like mad meaning that Goku can only hold it for five-to-ten minutes.

The SSJ 3 form carries a gigantic boost in power. If you transform and you can't immediately kill what you transformed to kill, you're beyond boned anyway.

Well, until the God forms came around.

It would make all those scenes of them eating until they are stuffed a lot less humorous for one.

I'd say it makes it a lot more humorous. The Saiyans are eating their veggies.

I agree with Shlugo.

Everyone being cannibals?

It'd definitely be a lot funnier.

Gohan: "What does Krilly-Krillin taste like, Master?"

Piccolo: "Like a kid with eyeballs."
