Yeah I don't think that version of the Tri Beam was all that special. Personally I think it was just a massive Kiai. It can push anyone back but it can't kill them (Unless they're really weak? I'm not sure if Kiai's can kill at all.)

If it can held back a superior opponent , it would kill someone like Frieza. Simple logic...
Unless Kiai's can't kill at all and can only push opponents back...

If it's really that simple then it wouldn't explain why Tien didn't use the technique on the Androids, or the weaker version of Cell.

Okay then, sir, please show me any time a Kiai has done any kind of actual damage to an opponent rather than just blown them back.

the original kikoho, when fired as a kiai, would have killed goku at the 22nd budokai had he not dodged it. if the original kikoho is capable of killing an opponent of roughly equal power, then the shin kikoho is capable of killing a much stronger opponent. in fact, even as far back as the trunks saga, tien's shin kikoho probably could have killed frieza or king cold (although that would have derailed the plot entirely).
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

He knows his own moves and exactly how much power his move has . and he could sense Cell's ki

what else is needed ?
Do you really think that Tien was that confident on stoping such a powerful such as Cell? If he would have known how strong his attack would be, wouldn't he used it against Frieza or even the androids? Or other villians. I can't see Tien trying his very best to stop Cell from reaching his perfect state, even if he doesn't know if it will be enough. Not always are people in Z sure how strong exactly the attack will be against the opponent aswell.

If u are trying to prove that it was just luck , u are going to the wrong direction

Tien will never use it unless he is confident on using it

The sheer force of the kiai could probably do quite a bit of damage to someone on Freeza's level. The raw power of it doesn't have to necessarily be all that impressive if you want to go that route.

No wind can kill me. My control of the Force prevents such a thing.

But I agree with what you were saying anyway.

Kikoho uses something other than ki. There are several energy forces in the body, and ki is only one of them. For example, Toriyama stated that Genki was a different type of energy than ki.

Therefore I agree with Abyss. Tenshinhan was under 120 mil at the end of Z, but I'm going an extra step by stating that I'm a firm believer that he wasn't even close. Even if he reached 10 mil, I think that would be lucky. Humans don't increase anywhere near as much as Saiyans do, and they don't stay in their prime as long (hence Vegeta's comment about Saiyan's slowed aging at the end of Z). This is only one of a few things to consider.

The Prince of All Saiyans/Debaters.

Well let's sate what Frieza is better than Tien...

Tien:

Wider view of exploring areas and sensing attacks.
Kikoho


Frieza:

Faster than tien.
Can estimate his power if he is in Mecha body.
Can actually tank nearly all of human's hit.
Can kill him with a finger.


Seeing that Tien only trained hard enough for him to stop cell by using more times Kikoho then he usually did, I will say there is around 35/100% of a chance for Frieza to actually die.

Krillin's the strongest human (aside from Oob of course), but that doesn't mean that he can hold water when compared to a Super Saiyan. Even regular Super Saiyans are still considered to have god-like power, even at the end of the series.

Only a select few can contend with Goku and Vegeta by the end of the series. Humans are not a warrior race, and even their strongest doesn't even come close to being compared to a Super Saiyan.
