I wish the humans got to have some power ups.
DB dropped off when it became Sayian or nothing.
When Gohan got his mystic side unleashed they could have done more with that idea by allowing Tien and Piccolo to have power ups.
Tien had that boss move attack against Cell. My dude was ALWAYS training.
Not saying to have them necessarily beat out the Sayians, but there should have been at least SOME parity.
Honestly, Super was pretty cool with the idea of the tournament of power, but prior to the tournament when Piccolo was going up against the other universes version of Freeza in his base form and Goku basically says he isn’t in his league — it just didn’t make sense. Piccolo was going toe to toe with 17 who was light years stronger than base Freeza. And that was years before even more and more training.
I get it, it’s a cartoon, I just wish they would keep things consistent. At that point, Tien should be close to ssj1 and Piccolo should have been close to ssj2. That would have been fairly consistent with the progression.
Additionally, they missed another opp for Gohan to have made a jump in Super. Mystic Gohan was awesome and he should have had a better moment in that arch.
