I would like to make a comment on this thread before it gets closed. There will be a post explaining my stance on this. It will show up as an edit of my post.
Edit: Here.
After reading the posts, and reading
this thread , I think that the current tiering for Frieza to Super Perfect Cell should stay where it is. However, I just want to add in something.
I believe this is the reason for Super Perfect Cell's Solar System level rating (Cell has said he could do this;
Fan has created a massive blog explaining this), just in case if anyone is interested.
Now that that's out of the way...
I would like to mention that when Frieza blew up Planet Vegeta with his Death Ball, he likely did this feat while holding back. He did not even take his armor off when he did this feat.
- Stating again that Frieza's first form can casually dish out attacks at the higher end of Dwarf Star level, it is likely that Frieza is stronger compared to the death ball he blew up Planet Vegeta with. I would like to propose adding "At least" to 1st Form Frieza's tiering.
- Vegeta during his fight shown here is likely at this level, considering that he took on armored Frieza for a time, although Freiza was holding back. I think this fight happened the same way in the manga as well.
- It is after Frieza takes his armor off that Frieza starts to get serious.
Frieza's second form
- Vegeta was absolutely scared of Freiza's second form, which is something.
- This is significant because considering that this was the same Vegeta who matched Freiza's first form for a period of time, this means that there is a significantly higher gap between Frieza's second form compared to his first form.
- Small Star level starts at ~3 Tenatons, which is only twice as strong compared to first form Freiza's death ball. When you consider that the death ball feat was done while Freiza was holding back, this would make the power gap between 1st and 2nd form Frieza that much greater.
I think that Small Star level is fine for his tiering here.
Frieza's third form
- Frieza's powers increase further from his transformation.
- In this form, he was absolutely toying with Piccolo without his armor, who is likely stronger than Frieza's 2nd form at this point.
- This would mean that the gap between Frieza's 3rd form is much stronger than Frieza's 2nd form.
Again, Small Star level is fine here.
Frieza's Final Form
25%
- At this point, Frieza's powers grow even further compared to his 3rd form. The gap between Frieza's 4th form and 3rd form should be comparable to his other transformations, assuming that Frieza's powers increase the same amount after each transformation.
- He is even with Kaioken x10 Goku in this form, who is at 1/2 the power of Kaioken x20 Goku.
Small Star level is fine here, although he is closer in the higher end of it. Frieza grew stronger, but not enough for an entire tier shift. Also, Kaioken x10 Goku would be around this level as well since he matched Freiza.
50%
- Easily dominated Kaioken x10 Goku.
- He matched evenly with Kaioken x20 Goku in this form.
- Gets completely outclassed by Goku when he turns SSJ. This means that SSJ Goku > Kaioken x20 Goku. Considering how SSJ Goku literally ragdolled 50% Frieza compared to Kaioken x20 in the same way that 50% Frieza dominated Kaioken x10 Goku, I think that the SSJ multiplier makes sense.
- Thus, I am okay with the 50x AP increase for Super Saiyan form.
100%
- Frieza is slightly stronger SSJ Goku during the initial exchange, although SSJ Goku manages to keep up with him and eventually defeat him.
- Frieza at this form would likely scale to SSJ Goku, who is about 2.5x stronger compared to Kaioken x20 Goku/50% Frieza.
Results
- 100% Frieza is about 2.5x stronger than Kaioken x20 Goku, who in turn, is about twice as strong as Final Form Frieza.
- This means that 100% Frieza is about 5 times stronger compared to Final Form Frieza.
- Each of Frieza's transformation gives major boosts to his power. Considering that just one transformation makes Frieza strong enough to make Vegeta go from excitement to utter despair, it is likely that these transformations give massive increases to Frieza's powers instead of minor ones.
- Frieza wasn't even trying when he made the death ball that blew up Planet Vegeta.
- Frieza's 1st form should have the "At least" tag added onto his AP, as he did the Planet Vegeta feat casually.
I think what Ant said in regards to this thread makes sense. The tiering for the Frieza all the way to Super Perfect Cell should stay as it is.
