Tien's attack at max power can scale to the Max Power Kamehameha, that's fine.
This is what I disagree with
I'm simply going to repeat the argument I put up on the downgrade thread to disagree, as, shocker, it wasn't addressed at any point.
Alright, I need to explain to you the issues with this argument.
I'd like to point out that
Tien was never going at full power against Roshi until the very end where
he basically dominated the entire fight, Roshi
never managed to even hurt him in any way once during their battle.
So
@KingTempest's comments about Tien struggling against Base Roshi are just contradicted by the source material!
Roshi maybe got one or two hits in by having better experience, and Tien holding back significantly since he didn't even know Roshi would be that strong,
Roshi doesn't land a single hit after Tien goes full power.
This is a gross misrepresentation of the fight.
First of all,
they were dead even for the entirety of the fight. That's that.
"By having better experience". Now I know where your brain lies.
We aren't scaling skill. We're scaling strength.
Roshi being able to hurt Tien is a strength factor. You can be more skilled and massively weaker. Roshi and Tien were trading blows.
Tien didn't hold back significantly. He didn't use any attacks. When he was "serious", he started blinding him, he started copying attacks, but he was still on the level of where he got parried by him.
On top of that, the further explanation is below.
Considering this,
it's incredibly weird to consider that the line where Roshi says he would probably lose is referring to his base form, it makes no sense! Roshi didn't stand a chance in base against a full power Tien,
the correct statement would be that
he would definitely lose had the battle kept going,
You just ignored their statement to fulfill your own interpretation of the scenario at hand.
Roshi says that he would
probably lose, and Tien sweated thinking that he pushed him that far without using his full power.
Tien even says as much based on Roshi's performance, the only thing that could even give Roshi a slight chance at victory would be his Max Power form.
Tien never said that in his life.
Tien should scale to MAX Power Roshi regardless.
You know the funny thing?
It's stated by Tien that
Roshi wasn't at full power yet. Tien even sweat at the thought.
"He was talking about his Max Power Kamehameha" he didn't even know about his Max Power Kamehameha.
The casual Roshi who fought Tien
had a power level of 139.
But when he's serious (like against King Piccolo) without the use of his Max Power Kamehameha, he gained a
power level of 180, the
same power level as Goku and Tien.
Roshi when serious and not holding back is equal to Tien and Goku.
You're hyping up how Tien wasn't at full power until the end where Roshi never even managed to get to full power.
Roshi basically admits that he wouldn't been able to defeat Tien, verbatim. Saying he could have done it had he gone all out is just ignoring the line entirely.
Here's an issue you guys have.
You see a statement that is tied to skill, speed, technique, etc. then you tie it all to AP
Roshi's Kamehameha couldn't work on him because he reflected it back.
Tien could blind him.
Tien could copy all his moves.
Tien has better stamina.
Tien's eye can see through his highspeed movement.
But because of all that, it's now interpreted as "Tien punches harder"?
EDIT
Why should Roshi scale to his MAX POWER Kamehameha.
- It's a regular Kamehameha. As explained by the Daizenshuu, MAX Power Kamehameha is simply a move used by MAX Power Roshi because of his muscles to withstand the energy emitted.
This is wrong, and I'll explain why below at the bottom
- It's inferior to Super Kamehameha.
Based on what?
- Super Kamehameha users are not 10 million times weaker than their own ki blasts. Goku's Kamehameha was slightly weaker than Raditz, yet Goku could tank some attacks from Raditz. They are not worlds apart in any way.
You misuse the definition of tank a lot.
Tanking an attack is when an attack doesn't even phase you. Those ***** phased him. They badly hurt him. They sent him flying.
Goku did not tank anything from Raditz. Every Raditz hit violently hurt Goku, and
even only 2 hits was enough to make him struggle to rise.
Goku's Kamehameha was far stronger than his base self, as Raditz said his power level was skyrocketing from it.
Goku's Kamehameha
completely killed Tambourine who
withstood a bunch of hits from Goku.
Goku's Kamehameha was capable of
vaporizing the upper half of Cell's body, same Cell who
withstood dozens of hits from Goku.
Goku's Kamehameha was capable of
blasting a hole through Fused Zamasu who
withstood several hits from Goku.
Saying Goku is relative than his Kamehameha is ridiculous.
On top of that, stop trying to sale regular Roshi to his Max Power Kamehameha.
Another example:
This is an example where one's physicals can tank a Super Kamehameha, which is a better version of the regular Kamehameha. Piccolo has the exact same power level of Goku, however.
MAX Power Roshi with his inferior Kamehameha should scale to his own blast. Literally everyone does.
MAX Power Kamehameha is a regular Kamehameha used by someone in the MAX Power form, as the Daizenshuu explained.
This is incredibly incorrect.
Roshi does not have a "MAX Power form", he has a
full power form where his body gets busky and everything
He can utilize his kamehameha in that form, which is strong enough to destroy a mountain
But then he can use his MAX Power Kamehameha, a specialized Kamehameha
Which is strong enough to destroy the moon.
Which is why they say the first time he uses this technique is Chapter 51, even though he did a kamehameha in his full power state during chapter 14.
This is exactly why when he did his first Kamehameha, it was just a
regular Kamehameha, but he said
Maximum Power for the one that destroyed the moon.
On top of that, you keep saying that it's close in power.
It was stated to be able to have killed Oozaru Goku by Yamcha, and it's also
stated in the Spanish Guidebook you love that it was the strongest thing in the series at that time, scaling it above Oozaru Goku who's 10x Regular Goku, meaning there's at least a 10x gap between his physicals and his technique at that time.
It's different than a regular kamehameha, and a regular kamehameha doesn't scale close to physicals.
