Dragon Ball AP, sad downgrade (Raditz/Saiyan/Namek Saga Tiers only)

This'll only affect Raditz to Namek Saga characters, anyone who is First Form Frieza level and up don't get affected so we don't have to worry about how other threads affecting this.

The method on how we backscale is based on hypothetical power levels with multipliers (Hypothetical Kaio-ken x10 Goku over First Form Frieza, in base he's 10x weaker, he's 10x weaker in the Saiyan Saga, and he's 20x weaker in the Raditz Saga)

This might seem fine at first, until we apply that same logic over to Original Dragon Ball, and then it falls apart, for example:

Goku in the fight against King Piccolo had a Power level of 260, hypothetically he can transform into an Oozaru which boosts him to 2,600, that's over Raditz and Gohan...downscaling from Raditz/Gohan's current value (305.677822299 Yottatons) by 1/10th for Goku's base of it and we get 30.5677822299 Yottatons, that's Large Planet level.

Oh but it gets worse, Goku during the 22nd Budokai has a Battle Power of 180, multiply that by 10x via Oozaru and we get 1800, AGAIN over Raditz and Gohan, meaning base Goku at this time is 30.5677822299 Yottatons.

This is obviously goes against the consistent moon feats these characters are touted to be in many times, (also Oozaru Pilaf Saga Goku has a BP of 100 meanwhile 22nd budokai is 180, take that as you will lmao) therefore BP should only be used to place one character over the other, specifically if that's shown to be the case and not with any hypotheticals.

Also with this change we can probably keep Zarbon's multiplier, yay.

For the new scaling chain we could also use this calculation:
vsbattles.fandom.com

GBE of an Average Dragon Ball Panet

vsbattles.fandom.com vsbattles.fandom.com

Here is the new AP scaling chain with this change, calc, and Zarbon's multiplier:

Raditz Saga​

  • Unweighted Goku is >=1/20th as strong as his Saiyan Saga self, Piccolo is comparable to him - 22.1558317334 Zettatons (Small Planet level)
  • Gohan with a power level of 1,307 is 3x as strong as Goku - 66.4674952002 Zettatons (Planet level)
  • Raditz has a slightly higher power level of 1,500 and can tank an unexpected head-but from this Gohan. Piccolo kills both Raditz and Goku with his Special Beam Cannon - 66.4674952002 Zettatons (Planet level)
    • As an Oozaru, Gohan and Raditz are 10x stronger - 664.674952002 Zettatons (Planet level)

Saiyan Saga​

  • Krillin is superior to Raditz - 66.4674952002 Zettatons (Planet level)
    • Krillin split his Kamehameha into 6, 4 of which killed 4 Raditz-level Saibamen - 398.804971201 Zettatons (Planet level)
  • Gohan is superior - 66.4674952002 Zettatons (Planet level)
    • As an Oozaru he's 10x stronger - 664.674952002 Zettatons (Planet level)
  • Goku is 1/3th the strength of his Kaio-ken x3 self, Nappa is comparable to him albeit is weaker - 443.116634667 Zettatons (Planet level)
    • Kaio-ken Goku - 886.233269334 Zettatons (Planet level)
    • Kaio-ken x3 Goku, overwhelms Vegeta and matched his Galick Gun - 1.329349904 Yottatons (Planet level)
    • Kaio-ken x4 Goku overwhelms Vegeta's Galick Gun - 1.77246653867 Yottatons (Planet level)
  • Nappa is comparable to Goku albeit is weaker - 443.116634667 Zettatons (Planet level)
    • As an Oozaru, Nappa is 10x stronger - 4.43116634667 Yottatons (Large Planet level)
  • Vegeta is superior to Kaio-ken x2 Goku, and has a Battle Power of 18,000 which is enough to destroy a planet. Can match Kaio-ken x3 Goku with his Galick Gun, also threatened to destroy Earth with it - 1.329349904 Yottatons (Planet level)
    • As an Oozaru, Vegeta is 10x stronger than his base - 13.29349904 Yottatons (Large Planet level)

Namek Saga​

Rest of the values don't matter for this change
Also I made a small mistake no one noticed in the current AP blog, that being Saiyan Saga Gohan being above Krillin's scatter Kamehameha, whoops.

Only counting staff:

Agree: 2

Disagree:

Neutral:

I disagree with scaling them to the 2,9x planet size. When Vegeta attack only refers to a earth sized planet and planet level stars at 10,000. As its clear that only Vegeta/Goku are shown as planet busters and shouldn't Kaioken 10x, scale above First Form Frieza?

It's funny because this aint even the half of it, shit is even worse than implied here.

Agree with main downgrade, but, will wait for new ratings to be fleshed out.

Kaio-ken x10 has no implications at all with being above Frieza except via hypothetical Battle Powers which this CRT aims to dismiss as contradictory

The 2.9x calc is for the average size of planets in dragon ball and Vegeta scales to it since he has a concrete battle power of 18,000, with 10,000 needed to destroy a planet in dragon ball. Also we already had a thread a not that long ago that tried to get them to baseline 5-B and was declined, lets not start that here

It´s so over Dragon Bros.....

Well, I suggested baseline 5-B with a PL of 10,000 and than upscaling Vegeta from that. Which makes more sense, since planet destroying power is never mentioned before until Vegeta. Also Goku would have a PL of 900,000 which makes him superior in every category compared to First Form Frieza. The same way how base Goku would surpass Frieza even without having SSJ. Yet he obviously did with the 50x increase.

Yea that's part of the reasoning as to why Vegeta is 10,000, that's in the AP scaling chain

Again, I already outlined how hypothetical multipliers for Battle Powers can't work:

I thought we got rid of it because of the Ginyu force and stuff, whatever I'll remove it anyways

Nah.

Zarbon is 23k BP
Monster Zarbon is less than 30k via being weaker than 1st Zenkai Vegeta

29000 BP cannot be "several times" stronger than 23000 BP
Because we know 24000-32000 BP is a 1.25x scale.

But do we use BP in this way?

Like, I have 200 BP and then 400, that would be 2x.

But I thought BP was inconsistent and non-linear enough to consider that doubling your BP would equally double your strength.

EDIT:
The OP itself shows that it doesn't make sense for the BP to increase correctly according to the multipliers because of Oozaru and other things.

So what stops Zarnon from becoming several times stronger but not having a numerical BP increase of several times as well? Considering the inconsistency.
 
Apologies if this is offtopic,but would the middle Ginyu's(those being Burter/Jeice/Recoome) be weaker than Transformed Zarbon?
 
I'm pretty sure "several times" alone is not good enough for a multiplier anyways, in contrast to the Super Holy Water where it has a direct multiplier statement, and another where it's said to be a multiplier straight up

If it says that it becomes several times stronger, I think there is room for a multiplier. It doesn't have to be an exact number. As far as I remember.

But I don't remember if the wiki considers several times as 2x or 3x.
 
Nah we use several, few, many, etc all the time. Whether or not it's consistent is one thing, so cant say for this exact situation, but a dude getting stronger and going "im several times stronger" we dont discredit just because, hell some verses rely on shit like that.

Though we lowend it, would be the lowest possible amount that befits the word, should probably check the kanji for specifics too given the exact word matters greatly.
Several we generally do as 3x fyi. Like "several hundred" we'd go with 300.
 
For the love of pong about the BP numbers; they're not linear. A 1.2x gap in BP number has more often been not been a far bigger gap than 1.2x among many others. Not to mention some BP ratings come from sources less than reliable.

I think having several being 3x and many being 4x should be added to the multiplier page, since this is the standard for the wiki
 
I made a BOZ-Namek saga AP update, likewise removing the Namek backscaling. I was waiting for my namek calc thread to round up, but since the OP had already mase a thread, would it be okay to paste it here and then we can compare which one oke is more lore accurate or should I wait and make a new jew CRT?

Upscaling, it works that way, because being non linear means that his stats would be most likely above 2x should his power level rise by 2x. As such, linear upscaling is the minimum level they could be, downscaling on the other hand, is the opposite, linear downscaling is the highest assumption, a nonlinear decrease would make a linear downscaling assumption a high end.
 
I agree with the downgrade but for Vegeta's Gallick Gun I think we should use the destruction of the Earth rather than the GBE calc in the OP.

He'd scale to the GBE either way for being able to destroy a Planet for having a BP of over 10,000

  • Kaio-ken x10 Goku has a Battle Power of 900,000 , which is greater than First Form Frieza's - 25.17366411509433 Quettatons (Small Star level)

Frieza Saga​

Post-King Kai training Piccolo is 1/5th weaker than himself before fusing with Nail, which puts his power level at roughly 200,000, above Kaioken X2 Goku - 5.594147581132075 Quettatons (Dwarf Star level)

Notes :
Krillin's scattering bullet technique did not have a 6x boost, as no such power level change was registered with the scouters (unlike the destructo disk) and after the Saiyans tanked one of such scattered blasts, krillin said it was his full power, so EACH blast was equivalent to the original, just smaller and faster), he also killed 3 not 4 and it wasn't a Kamehameha. Either way, using his actual power level was simpler and removed any inflation

Anyone above 10,000 PL can be scaled, backscaling directly from the 10,000 power level however was avoided and those with PLs below 10,000 only scaled directly from characters at that level with proof, not arbitrarily

Oozaru Vegeta's non linear increase is due to the likewise nonlinear increase in the Namek Saga, as was the case in canon, as such, the backscaling was again avoided and he simply scaled directly to 180k KKx2 Goku

This looks good but why dont we use the El manga legendario scan saying that a 10,000 power level can destroy a planet? Not only does it seem more appropriate with the calc used but it results in a small upgrade for the characters
 
I don't agree with this since it uses hypothetical multipliers again (Kaio-ken x2 - 16,000, never stated just calculated)

what's there to disagree with? We know base Goku is already 8,000 so it only makes sense that at Kaioken X2 he is AT LEAST 10,000 (please dont argue with this, realistically its 16,000 everyone knows that) so the calc should really start from there not Vegeta or KKx3 Goku

There is literally nothing hypothetical,
We know Goku's base
We know Kaioken increases linearly
We know how much Kaioken he used


It's like you're given the mass and volume of a structure, and then you find the density and say it's hypothetical

We have KKx2 Goku as 180k as well in the Namek saga from a 90k base

Kaioken is a linear amp
