DBZ speed downgrade (severe)

Not open for further replies.
If Lina accepted the calculation, it is acceptable to apply it according to our conventions.
 
We shouldn't accept it when other calc members disagree and when the premise is as shaky as it is, just because one calc member accepted it.

K, then let me propose Saiyan Saga.
Unknow Raditz - Ginyu Force

Unknow, likely Sub-Relativistic Ginyu - Namek Saga Goku + KK (Beginning to approach the level of a casual Frieza, who has a Mach 33,000 feat)

At least Sub-Relativistic Frieza 1st Form w/o Armor / Full Power 1st Form - 3rd Form Frieza

Likely Sub-Relativistic+ Goku Post-Zenkai

Relativistic Goku + KK up to x5

Relativistic+ Goku KK x 20 / 50% Frieza

Cal already did the rest.
This is ideal, though Unknown Raditz all the way to Ginyu Force is eh to me.
 
@Promestein Okay, if other calc group members disagree, that is a different issue.
 
Let me just say that Yojimbo's post has been taken into consideration. Although since it is a staff board said post has to be deleted.
 
Did a re-calc

@Antoniofer: Find the message here that shows Fan's calculation being debunked, from Fan's blog.

Didn't TLT not accept that calc?

@Cal: The fact that you accepted the Beamos beam of light as an actual beam of light but then reject this baffles me, considering that the

Death Beam

Beamos Beam

The author's intentions were pretty clear that Frieza's Death Beams are considered to be moving at lightspeed, considering that they are described to be "light" here.

Lastly, Frieza's Deat Beam statement directly translates to:

Este haz de luz emitido por sus dedos fue tan ripido que nadie pudo verio.

This beam of light emitted by his fingers was so fast that no one could see.
 
@Lina Shields you put the Death Beam pictures under the Beamos Beam hyperlinks and the Beamos Beam pictures under the Death Beam hyperlinks.
 
I think that Lina seems to make sense.
 
Yeah...no. Death Beams explode and aren't a continuous beam. Which is why Xcano declined the Guardian's laser. They don't burn on contact. Heck, the fact that you're willing to accept this but not the light arrows which were constantly stated to be light baffles me.
 
Frieza death beams were showed to be faster than the light arrows in the Zelda series.
 
Any Ki Blast "burns on contact". That's not an argument to say that Freeza's Death Beam are lasers. They are just a slim Ki beam.
 
So, is anything happening here?
 
Okay. You can place notes on their message walls about this thread, if you wish.
 
Well, Kavpeny probably won't. I haven't heard from him since March 28.
 
I'll just be really brief about this, bud.

Piccolo's moon beam: outlier, given that it's almost twice the speed of any other speed feat in the verse, and its done by a BoS character.

Frieza's Death Beam: Just assumes that it's light via a flash of light statement from a back cover and with debunked scaling from sensing.

Buu's feat: Matt purposefully debunked himself.
 
@Cal

For Frieza's Death Beam, for the last time, Fan removed that last part a long time ago. It's already been mentioned here and on Ant's wall...

Also just a bit on your convos with Lina, are you sure being continuous is a requirement for it to be light?

@Azzy

Something like this:

Unknown Raditz - Ginyu Force

Unknown, likely Sub-Relativistic Ginyu - Namek Saga Goku + KK (Beginning to approach the level of a casual Frieza, who has a Mach 33,000 feat)

At least Sub-Relativistic Frieza 1st Form w/o Armor / Full Power 1st Form - 3rd Form Frieza

Likely Sub-Relativistic+ Goku Post-Zenkai

Relativistic Goku + KK up to x5

Relativistic+ Goku KK x 20 / 50% Frieza

FTL for basically everyone above.
 
You still have not debunked the fact that Frieza's Death Beam is an actual beam of light.

Also, that Piccolo Moon bust feat should still count, as there is nothing that is contradicting said feat in question. Combat Speed > Travel Speed in Dragonball Z, considering that Goku can deflect Frieza's Death Beams in base while Super Saiyan Gotenks took his sweet time looping around the Earth.

SSJ Gotenks was messing around when he did the feat however.
 
@SD

Hm.

Well, I don't really have a problem with the proposed changes (I don't have incredibly strong feelings either way), though it would probably look better to drop the "Unknown" from before "likely Sub-Relativistic", as it just looks better that way and the rating is running off a justified assumption due to how quickly that gap in power is closing.

@Lina

Isn't said beam of light an attack used by and against characters who are, at that point, already Relativistic+ to FTL, anyway?
 
Yes I did as it's one, not continuous, two explodes, 3, can be reflected with bare hands, and 4, is made of ki. And before you compare it to Beamos, the Beamos meets none of those disqualifications in OoT, MM, and TP. Heck, we explicitly said that ALTTP's Beamos aren't Lightspeed because it's not continuous.

Furthermore, Matt and I already debunked the combat speed > travel speed. Roshi's speed feat was him holding back, and this is heavily implied. Combat Speed being greater than Travel Speed isn't something you can assume anyway. Matt made a big deal about this in another thread.

Piccolo's speed/reactions is at Relativistic+ at that point, yes.

Combat Speed being greater than Travel Speed isn't something you can assume anyway.

Even if you can make two calculations to prove it?
 
Making two calculations with good combat speed (ingoring that one is the Death Beam feat) doesn't mean that one is superior to the other, just like two calced travel speed feats doesn't mean travel speed >>>> combat speed. This is the exact same logic that YT debaters use to downplay Superman (not trying to compare you to them, btw)
 
I think that Lina seems to make sense.
 
Combat Speed in Dragon Ball isn't superior to Travel Speed. There's literally no basis for it. If you can move at certain speeds there is no reason for you to travel at such speeds too, if you have the stamina for it.

I am against the Death Beam calc because there is literally 0 proof that it is a laser. It's a concentrated ki beam that can explode on target. Saying it is a laser is as valid as saying that the Dodonpa is a laser.
 
>Combat Speed in Dragon Ball isn't superior to Travel Speed. There's literally no basis for it.

Except for the fact that whenever we get quantifiable travel and combat speeds for any saga, the combat feat turn out to be superiorr


>If you can move at certain speeds there is no reason for you to travel at such speeds too.



Not really. Example- Martial artists cannot travel (on their own) at the speed at which they fight. And humans in general can react to speeds which are greater than their own travel speed.

>I am against the Death Beam calc because there is literally 0 proof that it is a laser.

Well, it is kind of a laser in the way it is described. But ok, I could agree with that, if we do not count that as a laser, then the best combat feat we can go off are the feats where you can quantify beam speed, unfortunately there is only one such instance in early dbz where that is possible. And that is the moon feat, now I am looking for more references, where we can find an indication for combat speed.


But based on the inffo so far, combat speed > travel speed

Again, if my research yields results opposite to this, I will change my position.
 
Meh. I'm mixed on Piccolo's feat, but I am 100% against Lightspeed Death Beam.

Regardless, have MFTL Buu Saga ratings been removed? Those ARE pure bullshit.

The light beam thing is sort of shaky, yes, and yeah the mftl buu saga based from the manga statement was shaky as well, so I agree there. But piccolo's feat should be kept, and maybe if we ignore the zenkais, then we can have a low end approximation of the combat speeds.
 
If we accept Piccolo's feat (Whatever by me), then casual Final Form Freeza would be FTL or so anyway by scaling from Kaioken.
 
@Matthew Well, I think that you can probably get rid of the scaling from the Buu feat at the very least.

Hmm, well, if we go by piccolo's feat, then mid training piccolo would be roughly 7.2% light speed. If we downplay saiyan saga goku to mid training piccolo level then goku in saiyan saga would be 7.2% light speed. It was stated that when goku arrived on namek, that he was 10x stronger and faster than saiyan saga goku. So that makes entry namek goku a minimum of 72% light speed. Now if we do not accept the frieza beam feat at all, then we can downplay post zenkai goku's speed to be the same as entry namek goku's speed (this is one hell of a low ball by the way). So using this, we can get kaioken x20 goku being roughly equal to 50% frieza, which means 50% frieza is at the very least 14.4 x light speed. Using this, we can get that 100% frieza and ssj goku would be 28.8% light speed. Now keep in mind that all of this involves ignoring quite a few speed boosts, so "At least the very least 28.8x light speed, likely higher" should be ssj goku and 100% frieza's speed. So, FTL+ for ssj goku and 100% frieza (even after all of these low balling).
