Ah, you're right. Piccolo being useless against the same power that Vegeta is comfortably ahead of, that's inferior to the Cell Jrs., is overwritten by him standing up at the end of the fight.
Cell juniors are equal to Vegeta, not stronger. I don't care about the conflicting Daizenshuu entires, but the one concerning them being on par with Vegeta makes more sense. So Piccolo could be able to do reasonably well against a Jr while still being completely useless against Cell.

Not seeing your point.
Cell Jr. >= Vegeta (RST2) > Cell (@Super Vegeta) > Piccolo (RST)

If you want to take "comparable" loosely, sure, they're "comparable."
Piccolo doesn't need to be weaker than Cell @ Vegeta. Goku complimented Piccolo when he figured Cell was suppressed. He knew Cell was holding back a large quantity of power, hence why he went to examine him. Piccolo is a pretty smart guy. He met Cell in battle, and watched Semi-Perfect Cell from the lookout. He saw during both transformations that Cell was holding back at some point, and was never outputting his full power. So I'm pretty sure Piccolo could be considering Cell's estimated power when saying he would be useless.

That's a lot of assumptions you have there.

1. Always assume full power.

Assume full power

Why would we not assume full power when Piccolo says he is useless. It is obvious that Cell is suppressing considering that Goku doesn't even think he can beat Cell with his FP.

Assume Cell's at his best like Piccolo.

That doesn't make sense when Toriyama makes it obvious a few pages later that Cell is NOT at his best.

Wait, don't tell me. You know what Piccolo's estimate was, assuming he had one?

Can't say I do. All I know is it would be a lot higher than what Cell showed against Vegeta. Look at Semi Cell. He went from being possibly weaker than SSJ Vegeta, to being considered relevant to ASSJ Vegeta. Why wouldn't the same happen with the new Cell? Cell does not form with his full power after a transformation.

So in essence you're guessing, which is what I've been pointing out the entire time.

Kamikaze Pyro; turn on your PMs so we can discuss the debate tournament.

Also, assumptions are not good. Ever. My contribution to the thread. There has to be evidence to make an assumption work...

Like in FF8 dealing with Ultimecia; assume that the history of the game is remembered. There is evidence that it is by her dialog "So you're the legendary SeeD destined to defeat me" meaning Ultimecia knows that a SeeD from the past is destined to defeat her.

It's never outright stated that history is recorded in the game, but we can assume it is based upon some evidence with statements...

Same approach in DB.

Rambling, don't really take this post too seriously; it's mostly to get KP to turn on his PMs for this debate!

I don't see what's so hard to believe about the Cell Juniors holding back. The humans aren't dead so they're clearly messing with them. Only Vegeta and Trunks stand a chance as pointed out by Cell.
I'm a strong believer of this to, bug it still doesn't prove much. The only reason I would assume that Piccolo>Base Saiyans is because of logic, I can't see Gohan in Base been anywere close to the likes of ASSJ Vegeta, and Base Saiyans from Buu arc are weaker than him except Goku who's barely up ahead of him.

I don't think anyone questioned if Cell Jrs held back or not.

The third panel shows Cell giving his children the go ahead to kill the Zet-Senshi, which is directly translated from the original manga, iirc. That's the clearest indication that they were indeed holding back.

Chapter: 402 (DBZ 208), P13.5
Context: after Goku says there’s other people to fight Cell besides him
Cell: “It’s the same thing. Vegeta and Trunks may have raised their power, but they should still be inferior to you…”


What do you guys think of this?

Well what can we think? I guess that makes Vegeta and Trunks been somewere close to Gokus power, personally I have then at Gokus 60% of power or so, Vegeta was confident on taking at Cell Supressed at first, the one Cell who was equal to 50% MSSJ Goku ^_^
