Power Levels are Bullshit - Page 7

quote DBZodus

I love this thread title, I love it because it's so true.

But you know what's even more bull ? That's right; fanmade Power Levels. Why do you people feel the need to make up this stuff? Good reason why Akira dropped it after the Freeza arc; it's was bloated and pointless.

I love Dragon Ball, but I hate being a fan of it; purely because of fans like you. No, we can't say Goku is stronger than Cell, we have to say Goku's 12 gazillion million and Cell is 34550.68 gazillion million. Silly, useless, numbers.

True, it is more helpfull to compare power to each character individually, ex; gohan is twice as strong as super buu.
Powerlevels kinda loose their zing when go go beyond millions. Besides, going by displayed power, dbz peaked in the frieza arc. The power display seamed more impressive compared to even the buu saga, which would be hard to justify if by powerlevel, some characters are literary billion times stronger. if display of power scaled with the powerlevel, there would be no fesable way for them to trade punches on the same planet in the buu saga without the planet ripping apart atom by atom in a small supernova by the energies released by simple punches.

Oh boy, no proof that ANYWHERE that Gohan is 2x Super Boo; NOWHERE. You're making wild guesses and taking them as fact; they're not.

And never will be.

This filthy peasant just really likes to bitch, I wouldn't pay any attention to him.

I make the occasional Battle Powers list because I find it fun; I treat it as just another form of fan art, the same way I might draw Dragon Ball stuff or work on my fanfiction.

Which, if you ask me, is the best way to go about it. Otherwise, making a list and trying to treat it like some sort of scientific thesis about "what post-Freeza battle powers really were" or something like that, and argue about how "valid" or "correct" your made-up numbers are, is pointless and kind of silly.

If you actually put some effort into your reasoning, you'd be surprised... for instance, ss3 gotenks is slightly above super buu, now when buu absorbed gotenks AND piccolo, he was slightly stronger than gohan. So if gotenks+buu+piccolo = say, gohan x1.10 then gohan is x2 buu.
Not that hard is it? ugh..

More random number plucking.

LOL. If you think I'm bitching, fine, think I'm bitching. And here I was thinking you had some sort of brain cells up there after I read and posted your quote in that other thread; seems I was mistaken. Very mistaken.

I like to have real debates, not to talk to morons who spend all their time getting into arguments over hypothetical power levels based on a cartoon.

No wonder DBZ fans gets so much flak.

Oh, the drama. It's *bleep*ing killer.

Nah, you're just a dbz agnostic "we don't KNOW guys... WE DONT KNOW, stop pretending to know that which cannot be known!!!"

now this is quality drama... i find it more fun to rip at what characters said, compare and use some logic and see some pattern in the manga. Rather than just take the highroad by going" i don't know, so you don't ether, this makes me smarter cooler and have a larger peen than you" I'll keep my numbers so long they don't contradict anything. they may not be 100% right, but they can never be wrong ether, because of what you said. Good day sir.
