Super Saiyan among Super Saiyans

The Super Namekian is one of my favorite characters, who unfortunately is reduced to the humans' level come Majin Buu saga. All plot-induced explanations aside, what happened to Piccolo between sagas? Did he reach his peak at the Cell games or did he simply not train during the seven year period?
We Super Saiyans are in a league of our own.

I believe he trained a bit and got 20% more powerful since he was reaching his peak. He'd be above Buu Arc Base Saiyans, but still be fodder.

I think God just took over his mind for the most part, and God isn't one to train.

Piccolo is my 2nd favorite character in the series, behind Vegeta.

Novacane for the pain

I think he just hit a wall. After fusing with Kami and taking a rosat trip he was probably reaching his limit. He might have made some increases over the time but not much.

Toriyama didn't think him cool anymore, I guess. It's all about the "super saiyans" now.

i have a couple of theories on this.

1. by the cell games, all the adults had perfected their bodies. beyond this point, they could only increase ki output, which is much harder without improving the body at the same time.

2. fusing with kami somewhat aged piccolo, just like fusing with nail altered his features. since he's now middle aged, it's difficult for him to increase his power.

3. he spent significant amounts of time training dende to be guardian, and so didn't train as intensely as before.

i typically go with option 1. the saiyans ended up the strongest because of the earlier zenkais that boosted their ki way out of proportion, while the hybrids are just naturally more powerful than everyone else. piccolo ended up stronger than the humans partly because namekians are naturally stronger than humans or saiyans, and partly because of his 2 fusions that boosted his ki while his body could still be improved.

with this theory, though, it means that the hybrids could all reach unimaginable heights, given the time and training to do so. any one of them could likely dwarf vegeto before they hit their own limits.
list of canon sources:

the DB manga, and the Dr. Slump manga as it applies to the crossover during the rra saga.

list of non canon sources:

everything else, regardless of origin, format, or quality.

for those that blindly follow word of god

I think he got just powerful enough to eek out a victory against the Cell Jr's, but nothing more. I dont think he would have gotten weaker since he is still a very young Namekian, being around 30 years old. His wisdom comes from the minds great minds of Kami (wisdom), Nail (warfare and wisdom), and King Piccolo (wisdom, and a darker side).

However, I believe Yamcha and Krillen may have gotten weaker. Age really hit Krillen hard. Tien seems to have avoided age and continually gets stronger.
