Perhaps one Ki smashing against another is something akin to a loud bang or an intense light... the sense becomes overloaded... and simply doesn't function well for a while. Thoughts? (Perhaps the Ki sensing equivalent of ringing ears is inflated optimism? >_>)

Characters have been able to sense chi of people on different planets. I think planetary separation is a bigger deal than smoke unless I am misunderstanding your question.

I think planetary separation is a bigger deal than smoke unless I am misunderstanding your question. The smoke really isn't the point... neither is distance... I'm asking; would it be so strange to treat Ki sensing as any other sense? When you suddenly hear a loud bang, your hearing is temporarily disabled. When you suddenly see a bright light, your sight is temporarily disabled. So what if smacking someone with a powerful Ki attack [basically an explosion of energy] could be treated as similar to those situations... and therefore temporarily disables Ki sensing? The idea doesn't seem too far fetched to me and would allow a whole bunch of apparent idiocy to disappear.

Nope @When you suddenly hear a loud bang, your hearing is temporarily disabled. When you suddenly see a bright light, your sight is temporarily disabled. They are not "disabled".The right word is "Approximated/Compensated".

Nope @When you suddenly hear a loud bang, your hearing is temporarily disabled. When you suddenly see a bright light, your sight is temporarily disabled. They are not "disabled".The right word is "Approximated/Compensated". Whatever you want to call it when your senses are overloaded and need time to recover/adjust... surely your argument against that being applicable to Ki sensing is more than simply "Nope". "Approximated/Compensated" are not accurate to what I'm describing. Relevant examples: When you hear a sudden loud enough noise, your ears ring, or simply do not function... you may hear muffled sounds... you may hear nothing at all (it may be permanent or temporary). When you see a sudden intense enough light, your sight becomes saturated with whatever color it was... any sight that does remain would be blurred (it may also be permanent or temporary).

In that case, I would say no.

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

Maybe with Cell not realizing how powerful Final Flash was? He just got a rush with his own power so couldn't feel so his senses could have been overloaded by his own power, having not adjusted yet so rather than reading Vegeta's Ki he basically just read that his own was superior.

I think the theory is sound but nowhere can I think of where it might have happened. I was thinking more for those situations where Char A hammers Char B with some sort of attack/s and while Char B is concealed by debris/smoke... Char A jumps to the conclusion that Char B is defeated... when they are usually unscathed. For example, Vegeta vs 2nd form Freeza (can't provide scan example from work )
