Where the hell are those other Namekians.

They're going to do something really weird and cool and Piccolo's gonna be like "Holy poo poo, can I do that?" and it turns out that yes, he can.

Reversal of the U6 Saiyans learning about Super Saiyan, Piccolo's going to make his back tingle and turn into a Mega Namekian and win the tournament, then go on to be super ridiculously overpowered and the real hero of the show.

Did Vegeta ever figure out SSJ2, or did he cap out at SUPER VEGETA until he turned Blue?

Yeah, he's had 2 since at least when he went Majin. It wasn't just a Majin thing either, he uses it against Kid Buu.

It is kind of similar to Goku's body remembering God Ki thing, actually

Before he was given the Majin power, he was still stuck as just a SSJ. After that point, he remembered how to access that power

He was revived specifically to fight in the tournament so even if Goku was dumb enough to get it wrong (probably) Baba would definitely have made sure she was giving him a working.

Vegeta could go SSJ2 before he let Babidi in his head. He says he'd have killed Dabura and Gohan acknowledges that Vegeta would've won.

Whether Vegeta had access to SSJ2 before going majin has been long debated and there's probably no answer. Like Balrog wings, we'll never know.

The Daizenshuu I believe outright states that Vegeta became a Super Saiyan 2 after heavy training in the pre-Buu timeskip.

We've known for ages, people are just poo poo at actually accepting what the series and its material state.

It also makes way more sense in context to the typical themes. Monkey see, monkey do. If you show them a new form that is more powerful, a Saiyan will eventually pick up on it or go further beyond.

The only exception to the rule seems to be the mastered form Goku picked up for the cell games. Which always struck me as more of a Vegeta saying 'nuh uh, I'm not going to copy that even though it works' because Goku.

The whole mastered form thing is weird since it's the first and last time Super Saiyan being difficult to maintain is mentioned. Nobody has any problems staying Super Saiyan at will for the rest of the series unless they're completely exhausted or unconscious.

considering super saiyan 2 was originally just treated like an improved super saiyan, maybe the thought was that it obviated the mastered form stuff

I thought that was pretty explicitly so, and he only went for the master SSJ > SSJ 2 offscreen during the timeskip.

This post is full of pretty awesome holes. I like all the holes in this post.
A page or so back, but let me put my half assed 2 years of college Japanese to use for you all.

-jin is a suffix for Japanese words which means a type of person in certain instances.

In English we say American, in Japanese they say Amerikajin.

We say Chinese, they say Chuugokujin.

We say foreigner, they say gaijin.

We say Saiyan, they say Saiyajin.

So that is why people originally decided to add the J in SSJ. It would be like abbreviating "Super America" rather than "Super American".
