Base Gotenks Discussion

I've bounced back and forth on this topic.

Base Gotenks Post > Ssj Gotenks Pre >= Ssj3 Goku > Fat Buu > Base Gotenks Pre > Ssj2 Goku

This is the chain I feel is implied by the manga. But honestly, nowadays, I just disregard the Base Gotenks stuff. I've had too many issues trying to make this work numerically. Here are some of the issues.

1) Super Saiyan becomes a measly 2-3x boost. Super Saiyan, which in universe should always be head and shoulders above Kaioken x20 regardless of how AT wrote it, being this weak, just feels flat out wrong. One could argue how Elder Kaioshin said that transformations were the wrong way about doing things, but still, I don't know if it's enough.

2) This is literally the only issue that makes the 50x boost unworkable. Every other issue can be explained rather easily and is it really worth destroying all of the in universe logic that Super Saiyan is greatly superior to Kaioken?

3) How do you numerically explain Base Gotenks Post > Ssj Gotenks Pre. Does the fusion boost change? How strong did the boys get? Let's say Gotenks got 2-3x stronger, how much stronger are the boys? And how does this effect Gogeta?

For a long time Base >Ssj guy, I find it harder and harder to stick with this ridiculous numerical anomaly lately. Anyone care to show me how this could possibly make sense?

I don't really see the problem with giving Boo a major power up. His ki was a lie until he was in his pure form, so he could have been hiding a massive amount of ki. This allows Gotenks to still gain 50x with the SSJ multiplier.

It’s not necessary to lower the SSJ multiplier to force Gotenks to fit like that (will elaborate with #3 response).

It’s not the only issue:
  • Gero’s absorption estimations
  • Vegeta’s claim on the way to the tournament
  • Goten/Trunks vs 18
Forcibly bending my interpretation of these events to coincide with a formula that was never mentioned or even implied isn’t desirable.

Also, Kaioken creates problems either way. It was shown that the user’s strength had a direct relationship with how easily usable Kaioken became. No limit was ever mentioned… or likely ever considered. But there must be a reason Goku isn’t running around 1-shotting people with Kaiokenx10,000. If someone can justify that, then someone else can equally justify SSJ falling below x20. There’s an equal amount of conjecture involved.

So, here’s a theory I worked on a while ago…

Basically, “distractions” affect the effectiveness of a fusion. Things like injuries, or having to suppress, or being transformed. Anything that forces your mind away from “syncing” with your partner during the dance. They then become a variable within the formula itself.

Something like:
(Lowest Fusion Participant x 2 x Fusion Multiplier) / (Fixed number ^ Distractions)

Obviously, the Fusion Multiplier and the required Fixed Number will depend entirely on your personal placements and applied numbers... and may take a bit of trial and error to work out. But the Distractions are made clear:

[Pre-RoSaT] Base Gotenks
Goten - Nothing
Trunks - Must suppress
Distractions = 1
Resulting in a decent, though incomplete fusion… displayed by it's inability to transform

[Pre-RoSaT] SSJ Gotenks
Goten - SSJ stress
Trunks - SSJ stress + must suppress
Distractions = 3
Resulting in a poor, incomplete fusion… unable to transform/regress… and resulting in the smallest (shown) difference between ingredients and final product

[Post-RoSaT] Base Gotenks
(For this particular step to, I am forced to make [Post-RoSaT] Goten/Trunks equals… which isn’t much of a stretch consider Goten had slightly more drive than Trunks and could’ve closed the gap)
Goten - No suppression. No transformation. No injury. 100% focused on the task.
Trunks - No suppression. No transformation. No injury. 100% focused on the task.
Distractions = 0
Resulting in a complete/perfect fusion… with the ability to transform… and the maximum difference between ingredients and final product

Using such a system allowed me to make the gap between [Pre-RoSaT] Base Gotenks and his SSJ self basically whatever I wanted... allowing him to place within the chain as I believed he should... without being bent around a fixed SSJ multiplier. It also allowed me to give Goten/Trunks much smaller gains than Gotenks'.

If this isn't enough information to get you on a path towards your goal.. I may expand/clarify when I'm home from work.

I've never been able to buy into the whole Base Gotenks (Post-RoSaT) > SSj Gotenks (Pre), but I guess it doesn't really matter where you place him.... he's still inferior to Evil Boo until he uses Super Saiyan 3.

I don't care about the numerical stuff, so I go with what's implied. Woooo.

Base Gotenks Post:100
SSJ Gotenks Pre: 90
SSJ3 Goku: 85
Base Gotenks pre: 75
SSJ2 Adults: 70

P? You're questioning about your abilities of believing SSJ3 Goku being almost on par with SSJ Gotenks.

The SSJ 2 adults should be wayyyy lower than that. Otherwise you're implying that the SSJ 3 multiplier is something like 1.2x. That by virtue makes Base Gotenks Pre a hell of a lot weaker too.

İ think the SSJ2 Adults aren't far away from Base Gotenks , unless İ should have Gotenks way weaker.

Let's see what this does to the closed minds of many.

I'm saying your numbers make no sense. The SSJ 3 multiplier is at least 4x as given to us by SEG. You have the SSJ 3 multiplier being someone like 1.2x. Base Gotenks pre shouldn't even be close to Fat Boo anyways.

Your overthinking things.

Your trying to find a completey logical reason out of nowhere which just dosent exist.

You see more, when you see simply.

I dunno 'bout that, doc. You can't find the walnut in the haystack when you're only looking at the first layer of hay.

Gotenks
~base (pre) - 100
~base (post) - 120
~Super Saiyan (pre) - 5,000
~Super Saiyan (post) - 6,000
~Super Saiyan 3 - 48,000

Goku
~base - 10
~Super Saiyan - 500
~Super Saiyan 2 - 1,000
~Super Saiyan 3 - 4,000


Fixed SSJ 3 Gotenks' number.

Crow I don't see how it doesn't exist if he can make it work. And he seems to be seeing a lot by thinking with complexity, so good on him.

Yea that's what I'm going with bow Pyrus. Something like that.

Ssj Gotenks Post > Ssj Gotenks Pre >= Super Saiyan 3 Goku

And let Base Gotenks fall where he may.

I was putting the numbers randomly, as I didn't work out with the numbers and stuff. I did it minimal as possible.
