Yeah Vegeta got hit by 32,000 PL kamehameha.

Cell got hit by one that numbered in the millions to billions range of PL.

Plus Vegeta was like a cockroach in the Saiyan Saga.

Vegeta got hit by a Spirit Bomb after that which still didn't finish him off.

The latter half of the Saiyan Saga could be called Vegeta's worst hour.

But that Spirit Bomb was much weaker than it was supposed to be because Goku lost a lot of the energy when Vegeta attacked.

If Vegeta got hit by what Goku originally prepared in that state he probably would have died.

Well, apparently Goku's times 3 Kaioken Kamehameha. was equal to Vegeta's Galick Gun.

Yes. Goku's Kamehameha at 24,000 was losing out to Vegeta's Galick Gun at 18,000. I find the obvious implication that the Galick Gun is a more powerful attack than the Kamehameha fascinating. Vegeta also nearly destroyed Perfect Cell with his Final Flash.

Vegeta is uncreative but he's good at making powerful charge-up attacks. I headcanon that Final Flash is as powerful as it is because he's literally charging two beams, one in each hand, and then fusing them together for the blast. So it's like a x2 Galick Gun.

I'm pretty sure that Vegeta was raising his power level to 24,000 when he was charging his Galick Gun.

Good point about the Final Flash though.

I think Goku's like a knife and Vegeta is like a chainsaw.

Both can kill you quite easily, but one is more precise and easy to wield and one can cause a lot more damage.

That makes sense. He blows up planets a lot so his beams have to be powerful.

Also who read this:

king kai fist wrecking the body.

As either King Kai's fist wrecked his body, King Kai's fisting wrecked his body?

I'm pretty sure fisting people is how Goku gets off but not in the way you may think.

He gave Hirudegarn, Super 17, Eis, and Omega a pretty good fisting.

When Goku's power level was 416 the Kamehameha was 924.

So if we assume that the Kamehameha is additive, then the Kaioken times three of it would have been roughly 25,500. So that's what the Galick Gun would have had to equal.

[up] Goku didn't just fist Daimao, he penetrated him. All the way through.

Let's just call it a day and say that Goku and Vegeta were at about 24.000 with Vegeta having a slight edge.

I think that's mostly because Vegeta didn't need to tax himself the way Goku did with the times 3 Kaioken. I wouldn't quite view Goku struggling as a "power" statement.

Vegeta says the beam is the equal to his own so I'd go with that.

The Para Para Boogie.

Seriously.

Also Vice Shout. Vice Shout is pretty great.

Alternatively, anything Gotenks does.

My favorite as well.

One reason I like it is that it looks like ineffective Beam Spam, but it turns out that it's not what you expected....

I see it more as: the Kamehameha has its own multiplier of ~2.5x but Kaio-Ken puts such a strain on the body that other Ki attacks launched from a Kaio-Ken state don't increase by as much.

...But seriously, my favorite thing in Xenoverse was making people dance.

I challenged myself to make ever character in the game boogie.

I succeeded.

The Para Para Boogie needs to come back.

...I also want to see what the Beautiful Flying Rose Attack actually does.
