Roshi/Goku 22° Budokai/Ten Shin Han/ 50% Piccolo Daimao: 0.100435017c

Piccolo Daimao 100%: 0.200870034

Young Piccolo daimao/ Goku Post Ultra Divine Water(Goku is several times stronger than before, Piccolo daimao, is equal to him): 0.301305051c

Goku raditz saga/Piccolo(Goku is x2 stronger than his 23rd Tournament saga self, piccolo is comparable to him): 1.807830306c

AP

Old Piccolo Daimao defeated Goku (Post-22nd Budokai) without using half his power: >3.00312735182 Yottatons (Planet level+)

Piccolo daimao in his youth is much stronger and is equal to Post-Chōshinsui Goku who is several times stronger than before "Several times" meaning at low-ball 3x: >4.50469102773 Yottatons (Large Planet level)

Oozaru Goku: >45.0469102773 Yottatons (Large Planet level)

Piccolo Jr. Saga

Piccolo Jr. (unweighted) is several times stronger than Piccolo Daimao, Goku (unweighted) is equal to him. "Several times" meaning at low-ball 3x: >13.51407308319 Yottatons (Large Planet level)

Goku raditz saga/Piccolo(Goku is x2 stronger than his 23rd Tournament saga self, Piccolo is comparable to him): >27.02814616638 Yottatons (Large planet level)

Extra:

"Several times" is at lowball x3

Speed increases along with strength

#Note 2: It has been stated numerous times across various sources in the series that a larger ki means greater statistics – statistics such as strength and overall power, speed, aerial capabilities, destructive capacity, and defense.

Translation of the japanese text:

The Turtle Hermit (Master Roshi) attempts to seal King Piccolo using the Evil Containment Wave (Mafuba), but tragically fails and dies with deep regret. Finally, King Piccolo gathers all seven Dragon Balls and makes his wish to restore his youth. After his wish is granted, he kills Shenron, deeming it unnecessary. Meanwhile, Goku climbs Korin Tower once more and drinks the Ultra Divine Water, which multiplies his strength several times over. At the same time, Tien Shinhan is about to be killed by one of King Piccolo's minions, Drum, but Goku arrives just in time. Thus begins the showdown between Goku and King Piccolo.

Thats all, is a upgrade for Dragon Ball Ap blog and Dragon ball speed blog

The AP upgrades seem self explanatory, but I'm not sold on "Every single statement about being X times stronger always equals being X times faster." I agree it's common for transformation multipliers to multiply power and speed, but not for every single case of just getting stronger. They do not always get buffed 100% consistently though.
 
Actually, if we accept a 3x multiplier for Goku and then Piccolo, then we would also have to either outright ignore the DB Saga Power Levels or consider them non-linear, given the Ultra Divine Water only brings Goku up from 180 to 260 (1.444x), and Piccolo Jr.'s Power Level could have only increased, at the most (408; assuming he was equal to King Piccolo rather than being more powerful and did not grow any more powerful before DB and DBZ), by 1.98058252x.

Are we doing that?

Well yes, Piccolo daimao with less than 50% was superior to a Goku with supposedly 180, and that Piccolo had 260(If you do the math you'll see that It's wrong), the power levels are valid, as long as they do not contradict the manga, In addition to the fact that they already rejected using the power levels directly

I think they normally use "strength" As a synonym for ki/power, and we have this Goku's statement: "But if You split your strength into fourths then all yours attacks, defense and speed are only a quarter of their usual"

It's commonly known that power levels at this point are non-linear, or we'd have 5-B Chichi
 
Too new to have my opinion to hold weight but this seems pretty blatant and straightforward
 
The difference is that Kaioken is quite specific at being equalized multipliers for both stats. Increasing Ki does increase both attack power and speed, but going from 180 to 260 is a LOT more than what the numbers suggest due to PL's behaving nonlinearly and completely inconsistency; well, it's consistent with scaling chains, but not gaps. But, there are examples where Character A is stronger but Character B is faster due to how their fighting styles work. Increase in Ki does mean increase in both power, defense, and speed, but often times, it can often be a massive jump in power while only being minimal jump in speed. The fact that Ultra Super Saiyan exists kind of shows that multipliers aren't always perfect ones for both.

It's never implied boosting speed alongside strength is something specific to Kaio-ken

I never suggested battle powers were linear (though there are some examples of it being consistent but I digress) nor are my previously stated examples reliant on them

Grade 3 directly sacrifices speed for strength it's not just a regular boost

I didn't say "Specific to Kaioken" I just mean Kaioken is indeed the best example about "Kaioken times 10 is a 10x multiplier for power, speed, and defense." Super Saiyan transformations by extension are also within those realms due to common similarities and lack of contradiction. But a throwaway "Million times stronger" statements are rarely seen as amps for power and speed equally. Also, not like jumping to 2-C made someone Infinite/Immeasurable speed.

I know this, that is kind of a point. Sometimes, characters trained strength that did minimal speed buffs, and other times trained speed that did minimal power buffs. Goku training with Korin is another example; the climbing part mainly multiplied strength/endurance while chasing Korin for the water was a speed/reflex training.

Those statements in-themselves are just hyperboles and what's being proposed is nothing like that really. We don't take multipliers like these at face value in the first place
Also, not like jumping to 2-C made someone Infinite/Immeasurable speed.
2-C is just how we quantify the feat, there's no multiplier statement or implication that SSG is an infinite amp difference from base. It's the same reason why we don't say "Super Perfect Cell is way over a million times faster than First Form Frieza due to the calc difference between their feats"
 
We've already had a thread discuss the power and speed relationship with very few forms having this exception as a specific weakness



Anyway, this should suffice (I hope)


Pay extra attention to the second image there

we also had a thread rejected on the notion that nowhere in this, or any other scan, it is said that it is a rule that speed and power grow at the exact same rate... Butter for example is faster than he is strong, and Dyspo is also, even when Toppo said that Jiren was the strongest in Universe 11, he still said Dyspo was faster
 
First point doesn't prove anything, it's exactly like what I'm saying. And the fact that only specific techniques change your AP and speed by the same amount is the nail in the coffin

I've seen this being abused on DB profiles to achieve inflated results that have no strong basis and I'm not a fan. So I'd like to start by at least trying to not let this one pass

Yes

Not like I haven't just dropped a scan pointing out how reducing your ki by a quarter gives you 4x less speed

But sure,
 
Notice how only specific techniques explicitly reduce or multiply your AP and speed by the same amount? It's evidently not a universal thing

How does speed being related to the size of one’s ki not prove anything? And it’s never said to be just specific to these techniques why are we being so disingenuous here?

Disingenuous is when you question inflated ratings

"Being related" is not the same as "1-to-1 increase"

it doesn't show how proportional it is, like, yeah "grow stronger = grow faster" but it doesn't show "growth in the power = same growth proportionally in speed"

And it’s never said to be just specific to these techniques
Goku is talking specifically on the Kaioken, and that you "must do it right"(paraphrasing here) so trying to apply that to all other chars is not solid
