Tien vs Android 20

Power wise, Android 20 would obliterate Tien, but he has the Tri Beam (Shin Kikoho) that was able to damage 2nd Form Cell (which is first form Cell + Android 17's power, both of which are significantly more powerful than Android 20. They're way out of his league in power.)

So, if Tien can catch him in a Tri-Beam, I think he wins. What are your thoughts?

Same.

Cell, if damaged, could of regenerated anyway. 20 is a robot. No regeneration.

Could 20 absorb the tri beam?

I forgot about that... good question, I honestly don't know.

The key words were "if he catches him". Because 20 was very overconfident that he could beat Vegeta but then Piccolo kicked his ass (Not sure if it's filler or not). Tien caught 2nd form Cell off guard and he got hit directly. If 20 were to get hit, I think he's toast.

Tenshinhan has a battle power in the high 10 thousands at the most. Gero is on par with 100% Freeza who is roughly 100 times stronger than Tenshinhan.

Unless Ten opens with a Taiyoken + Shin Kikoho, Gero OHKO's him. And even with his Shin Kikoho, Gero might survive, since the only thing the attack did was push Cell back.

At the same time, Gero wouldn't be able to harm 2nd form Cell at all. This must be one powerful move to even push him back and harm him even a little.

Kid Trunks kicked Fat Buu miles away.

Surprise attacks do a lot of damage.

And wasn't a weakened Piccolo able to knock Freeza away from Goku so he could finish the spirit bomb.

Yes. I guess you do have a point.

It wouldn't be enough to kill Gero

Didn't Tenshinhan's Kikoho knock away Buuhan's blast?

I have a feeling he was a lot stronger then.

I'd probably put him around Goku's PL against Frieza before KKx20. That is a total guess but I don't think he's any stronger than that.

He'd have to be a fair bit stronger than when he was during the android saga though.

Sure, but don't forget that his power doesn't grow exponentially like the Saiyans. I mean, Tien was killed with a power level of around 1,400. Although he got stronger in King Kai's planet, him, Yamcha and Chiaotzu couldn't take Piccolo. He was alive only 3 years before the Android Saga and then 7 more years for the Buu saga. I'm not sure he could get much past 3rd form Frieza in that time.

Yeah, but he'd have to have been training in meditation in that time as well, which could also really increase the power of the tri-beam as it doesn't use normal ki.

But the power difference between a Tien blast and a Buuhan blast is like Goku in the beginning of DBZ fighting SSJ3 Goku. To even knock away a blast from Buuhan is insane.

Exactly, which is what leads me to believe that the focus of his training was meditation to enhance the power of the tri beam.

Agreed. So don't you think he could use it to defeat someone such as Dr. Gero? If he used Solar Flare and then used it...

Android saga Tien: No.

Post Buu saga Tien: If he was lucky.

You guys do know that Tenshinhan used the Kikoho, his strongest attack, to diverge a a generic ki blast aimed at Mr. Satan. That's nothing to write home about.

The chance of Tenshinhan even remotely reaching a battle power of over a million is incredibly tiny. He used to train religiously to beat Goku. Then he trained religiously to beat the androids. After that it is incredibly likely that he settled down and stopped fighting, since he didn't have a reason to fight anymore.

And Krillin is stronger than Tenshinhan anyway.

It would probably put some high pressure on Gero, but I don't think it would kill him unless he really hit him in the right spot to sever his head. Android 16 couldn't even harm Cell at that point, let alone push him back. While that is saying alot, Gero would survive the barrage
