Tien being 4-C with the Kikoho makes no sense whatsoever, and here's why.
First, Tien can sense energy and know exactly how strong people like SSJ Vegeta were when fighting Android 18, however, after the battle Tien said that even with Goku's power, they can't defeat Android 18 and Android 17, and that includes himself too since he knows how strong his Kikoho, and knows it wouldn't help to win against them
Another point is that later, just before Piccolo fights Android 17, he tells the other humans (Tien included) that there's no point to let them fight the Androids. Piccolo is also well aware of all of Tien's techniques and is aware of how powerful he is.
Besides, as their one hope to defeat the Androids and Cell, the heroes all agreed that the Saiyans going to the time chamber is their only way to win, meaning that Tien using the Kikoho will not be able to defeat them. And for reference, Android 16 = Imperfect Cell >>> Android 17 = Piccolo > Android 18 > SSJ Vegeta
All of this proves that Tien did NOT have enough power with the Kikoho to even overwhelm the Androids, let alone Cell who is far above both of them
Going back to the feat itself, when Cell was taking Android 16's punch, Cell expected the punch and reacted to it, however, when Tien fired his Kikoho, Cell was caught off guard and couldn't brace himself in time, thus getting pinned to the ground. Tien had to also fire his Kikohos constantly to pin down Cell without him escaping, as if he'd allow Cell to brace himself for the attack, it wouldn't work
So my proposal is to simply get the 4-C rating removed and replace it with "far higher" rating
