Tien (Buu Saga) vs. Buutenks

Even though the fight already happen in the series, which is why I'm not putting this in the versus section, a lot of people still argue about it and use it as a point in order to show Tien's strength. It's established Tien lost the fight, but what I'm trying to ask is: does this serve as a good reference of how strong Tien is, did Tien actually put up a fight against Buutenks or was Buu holding back, and could Tien have possibly won?

The facts I'm going to use are not set in stone, because its hard to create any power chains or comparisons from the fight:
-Most people argue that because Gohan was relieved and surprised when he saw Tien, it was implying that he believed Tien could go against Buutenks. However, this could be countered because Gohan was very tired at the time, and was probably relieved to see anyone, so this argument doesn't mean much.
-Some people say that Tien dodged one of Buu's attacks, so he was not entirely outclassed. This makes no sense, as Buutenks was smiling, and did not look surprised when Tien dodged it, meaning that Buutenks was toying with him.
-Tien's kikoho/tri-beam, one of his most hax moves, did temporarily destroy Buu, but he regenerated seconds later.
-In the end, Tien lost anyway.

Conclusion: Buutenks was holding back, Tien most likely could not have won, it does not show how strong Tien is, but it make make him a bit stronger than suspected.

What do you guys think?

I don't take the scene to mean diddly squat. If Tenshinhan was that useful, why didn't he show up sooner and dispose of someone weaker than Gotenks-Boo? Was he too busy "training his ***** off" to care?

I think only his Shin Kikoho would reach Gotenks-Boo tier, but we all know that has a very high multiplier, so Tien is a weakling at this point.

Yeah Tien himself was weak compared to Gohan and Buutenks, but his Kikoho was pretty damn strong.

I believe in that. However, we are unsure exactly how much stronger Tien got from the years of training. Tien's kikoho nearly destroyed Buu, except he could regenerate. If Tien were to use his kikoho on someone such as Goku or Gotenks, it could possibly kill them. I realize that Tien's Tri-beam is kind of a hax move, but it's the only way to bump him up to Buu tier and make him relevent.

Tien has held off Cell and almost destroyed Buu. Either the Kikoho has an ENORMUS multiplier or Tien is stronger than people give him credit for.

Tien's attack didn't nearly destroy buu. It didn't hurt him at all. You guys crazy?
I think the fact that he blocked an attack with his Neo Kikoho, and the fact that he survived against an unguarded buutenks kick means he was pretty strong. But srsly, he is nowhere near their strength.

Like you said, it does imply that Tien is a respected warrior amongst his peers, but doesnt prove much about his strength. I mean, even if he was SSJ2 strength it wouldnt be any different. I think Gohan was just relieved to see a friendly face, a guy that just saved Dende and Hercule from death.

But like you said, Tien was shown to be able to dodge an attack from Buutenks, was able to deflect an attack, and avoided Super Buu's beams. This shows that he is undoubtably in the millions powerlevel, and can justify him being at the Frieza-tier.

I'd rather just give the Shin Kikoho a huge multiplier than have him suddenly on par with SSjin 3 Son Goku or something. If we were to take what Gotenks-Boo says about Tenshinhan being a master at face value, and how he mocked Son Goku after knocking Ten out, then Ten would have to be at least stronger than Son for that to make sense IMO.

I'd like to go with the idea that the kikoho gives an enormous multiplier, otherwise that'd be putting Tien on the same level as Cell and Buu. As cool as it would be, and as much as I wish it was like that in the series, it's not, at post-Namek, the humans and completely outclasses by the Saiyans.

Tien's attack caused Buu to disintregate into thousands of tiny pieces of goo. If Buu could not regenerate, he would be dead. It is one single hax ability that Buu has that has prevented him from dying many times.

You must be watching the anime because Tenshinhan never harms Boo.

And if we go by the logic of "no regen = dead", then the gunmen must also be super powerful because without regen, Evil Boo would've been shredded.

Another thing I don't see is a look of relief on Son Gohan's face when Tenshinhan arrives. He looks surprised if anything.

I wasnt even thinking about the fact that Tien probably only hurt Buu in the anime.

I've never read the Manga, so what exactly happens?


Btw I agree with giving the Kikoho a giant multiplier.

Overall?

~Survives Evil Boo's extinction attack.
~Blows up one of Gotenks-Boo's Ki blasts with the Shin Kikoho.
~Gets OHKO'd by Boo's severed feet.

In the manga Tien didn't dodge anything, just deflects attack and is knocked out with one hit by Boo's lower half (if I remember correctly).

I just want to add that Vegeta in his ssj form (not ssj2) deflected Kid Boo's attack just as easily, but without even using a technique, just normal blast (no multiplier at all), and we all know that Vegeta even in ssj2 <<< Kid Boo, thus Vegeta ssj <<<<<<<<<<<< Kid Boo.
