Except 18 is exactly as strong as 17 and 17 is as strong as the Nameless Namekian who's orders of magnitude stronger than Super Saiyan Vegeta.
Also, refer back to when I made comparisons between all the Super Saiyans.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!We have no reason to believe she was holding back other than the fact that she took absolutely zero damage in that fight.
Oh, and there's also the fact that she's suppposed to be even with 17, or at least pretty close to him. 17, who fought an opponent stronger than Vegeta evenly.
Vegeta is not that much stronger than Trunks, and Trunks got completely and thoroughly owned by the Androids both in his time and in the then present.
Put simply, you have absolutely no evidence for claiming that 18 and Vegeta were even, but we do have evidence to assume she is far stronger than he was and just playing with him.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariGohan was taking nearly no damage from Cell. He was still drawn with scratches and even cuts.
Again, the damage Vegeta dealt to 18 was purely cosmetic.
Also, IIRC, the one who claims 17 is stronger than 18 is 17 himself. Hardly a reliable source, given that he can't feel powerlevels, much less 18's or even his own.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariAt the start, both Vegeta and 18 are holding back. They agree to fight for real. Trunks is watching the fight and thinks to himself that he can't believe his father is fighting so evenly with her. Piccolo then says Vegeta's stamina will wear out eventually.
From a narrative perspective, there's no reason to mention stamina if it didn't matter. Vegeta lost because he couldn't keep fighting at that level while 18 could indefinitely.
"If you weren't so crazy I'd think you were insane."Again: They don't know how strong the androids actually are. Furthermore, the fact that Trunks is surprised by Vegeta fighting evenly with 18 should tell you that Vegeta isn't leaps and bounds ahead of Trunks, which is why Trunks is surprised by it.
The moment 18 stops screwing around, she pwns Vegeta in a very short time. And no, you don't get to claim "well his stamina dropped", because in this series, Vegeta is the mothereffin' king of stamina and constitution. Vegeta's the character who's taken the most thorough and complete thrashings and could still get back up and continue fighting. I remind you, his very first fight had Vegeta fighting a whole bunch of people, getting hit with several super powerful attacks that all should've managed to put him down and he could still outfight everyone else.
Vegeta's Stamina is incredible, and it wouldn't drop so easily.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariBulma has the dream husband, though. He does have practically infinite stamina, and he spends most of the day out of the way so you only have to see him when it's time for nookie.

There's no reason she can't be like
Bulma: "You, upstairs, naked, five minutes"
Vegeta: "Nobody commands me!"
Bulma: "Then I'll just dismantle the gravity room"
Vegeta: "Ugh, fine. But you better make this worth it woman"
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.She kinda designed the Dragon Radar, invented a time machine in an alternate timeline, and designed the detonator for the Androids despite not having designed them and only having their blueprints.
I think Bulma has earned her title as Smart Girl. Its so refreshing to have a character be able to contribute so much despite having no fighting capabilities. And a human no less.

I said in the first arc. I was just wondering if there was any Continuity Drift.
Yeah, that bit of the movie I very much liked. The set-up was really good.
That being said, I like the second one the most of the Broly movies.
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else

Vegeta was not even with 18. That's why 18 could tank his blows without taking damage.
Also, you cannot trust any power level rating given for the androids by the characters.
They don't have an energy the characters can sense, so they have no idea how strong the androids actually are. The only gauge we have is the Nameless Namekian, who was basically dead even with 17. And guess what? The Nameless Namekian is a fair bit stronger than Vegeta.
