So I have been watching the masterpiece known as Dragonball Evolution (No idea of why we never got a sequel, tbh). But while the movie is great, all two of it's profiles are not so much.
Goku (Dragonball Evolution)
Name: It can actually be changed to Son Goku, Mai calls him that in one scene. When talking to Piccolo. And nowhere else.
...huh.
Age: It should be changed to "At least 2000 years old (Was terrorizing Earth along with Piccolo over 2000 years ago as Oozaru), 18 years old physically and mentally". How exactly this works isn't explained since Gohan dies before doing so.
Powers and Abilities: Goku has shown Precognition while holding a Dragon Ball, and Roshi even points out that the future the Dragon Balls show Goku can change.
Attack Potency: So Goku's attack potency comes from matching a ki blast from Piccolo which, yeah, it happened, but the context is also important. Before doing that, Goku says: "I am... Goku. I... am Oozaru. To be a one with myself I must be two", then roars like Oozaru without transforming. This, besides being a reference to when OG Goku unlocked his hidden potential before fighting King Piccolo, would imply that Goku is unable to match Piccolo in base, which is actually supported by the movie:
This would divide Goku in 3 keys: Base, Oozaru, and... One with himself? I dunno how to call the last key.
Not sure of what his tier in base should be, I don't remember any notable feats. Maybe 9-C for now as Gohan feared what would happen if Goku decided to fight his bullies.
Weakness: Holding back and lacking confidence should be removed, the first because it only applies to people he doesn't want to hurt, and the second because it's mostly about his social skills, not to mention he gets over it by the end of the film.
The Oozaru key, however, should have "Blindly follows Piccolo's orders" as a weakness.
Piccolo (Dragonball Evolution)
Attack Potency: Now, normally I would say that the calc should be changed to this one which is more accurate (Though it still needs to be evaluated). There is a problem however:
When does the feat of Piccolo destroying a Country happens? Because maybe I zoned out, but I don't remeber ever seeing it.
This is the closest thing I saw (It's from the vision Goku gets from the Dragon Ball on the volcano), but not only it doesn't match the image of the calc I just linked, it's also never shown who causes said explosion.
I also tried to look for the scene by itself, but I no luck. If no one can provide the scene, the profiles should probably be downgraded

This, besides being a reference to when OG Goku unlocked his hidden potential before fighting King Piccolo, would imply that Goku is unable to match Piccolo in base, which is actually supported by the movie:
- Goku had never beaten Gohan, who was easily killed by Piccolo.
- Goku struggled against Roshi, who is weaker than Piccolo as he thought that the Mafuba has the only way of beating him.
- Roshi explicitly says that Goku wasn't ready to fight Piccolo, which is why he wanted to use the Mafuba
- Most of Goku's fight against Piccolo consisted in dodging his ki blasts, and giving him just 2 punches
