Golden Freeza is stronger than SSJB, at least in a short burst. Cell, at best, is a SSJ2 level, and at that point you may as well grab Future Trunks because he gets along with the team.

yeah power levels are extremely important in the tourney master roshi and tien are gonna be fighting in

They are when the thing you're trying to replace is raw power. That's what Buu brings to the table more than anything, the fact that he's one of the most powerful things in the universe.

Cell literally cannot help with that.

If Freeza had any time to mediate or whatever in Hell, he could have mastered Golden Form in his stupid cocoon. If he did that, he'd be able to stay in it without drawbacks and just be way stronger than everyone else.

Except maybe Goku using Kaio Ken.

Freeza doesn't have to have mastered poo poo. He is dead. Goku thought SSJ3 was hot poo poo because of how powerful it was when he was dead, the drawback only became apparent with a living body.

Roshi's still a wild card. While he was possessed by witchcraft, he was keeping up with Goku pretty easily. Motherfucker's been alive for centuries and has a lot weird-rear end mystical powers.

Tien will clear half of the enemy participants in one shot of SHIN KIKOUHOU, which will also leave him open to be merc'd by Frost or someone.

Cabba will try to duel with his interdimensional crush, Vegeta, but will be backhanded out of the way by Kale, who recognizes Vegeta as a prime specimen of alpha Saiyan, but also swapped from sub to dom just like Broly does.

I know it'll never happen, but it'd be kinda funny if Freeza was all like, "gently caress you, monkey!" so they end up having to recruit Yamcha, who somehow ends up saving all the universes

Frieza's condition will obviously be that if he is the last man standing he gets the wish.

Goku will beat Jiren, and Goku and Frieza will be the last ones standing.

Frieza then proceeds to push Goku out of the ring and enter the next arc of Super: King of All Frieza

Buu was one of the most powerful, yeah, but he was also the most versatile member of the team, possibly of the whole tournament. They could turn him into a big pile of sentient slop that covered the ring that people would have to try and mop off. That's probably why he's written out; knocking him out of the ring would be near impossible for even the god level people if he got tricky enough, so you'd have to write him as staying solid and incredibly stupid, which wastes him even being there.

I think Buus biggest asset is his healing powers (assuming its against the rules to absorb people). He's like Piccolo and Dende all in one.

That's surprisingly reasonable and I could even see Frieza pinky-swearing he won't do anything bad and even taking pains to be a 'team player' for a couple of moments. Just to set that up.

I mean it also makes perfect sense for Buu to not be smart about using his powers, because Buu is an idiot when he hasn't absorbed anyone.

Frieza and Cell basically have the same thing that Buu would have brought to the team, which is they're all incredibly hard to put down. Not even considering power levels, these are folks that can be blown up or sliced in two and keep on going like it's nothing. Tenacity to survive is a valuable trait that the show's been explicitly pushing in the last few episodes. Yamcha or even Future Trunks isn't going to contribute that.

you can't blow up or slice anyone in half in the tournament of power. being hard to kill is kinda irrelevant when one of the rules is "don't kill each other or you're out"

His whole freak out he had before he decided to blow the earth up was because Vegeta was so much stronger and just as strong as Goku now. He could handle Goku as he was just one person but that pissy child Vegeta of all people actually gaining that type of strength hosed him up.

Freeza is strong and durable, bring him along. Then kick Tien off the team, instant transmission to Namek to get their dragon balls, revive Cell, do the Super Saiyan God ritual to power him up, bring him along too, and tell him to make a bunch of Cell jr.s as soon as the tournament starts. Use the second wish from the Namek balls to rebuild Bulma's time machine so they can go get Trunks, kick Roshi off the team, and bring him along as well. Use the third wish to revive King Kai.

It's like they don't even want to win this thing.

Or actually follow Champa's "more saiyans" idea since it was a good one.

Use the third wish to revive Raditz, cut his tail, Special Beam Cannon him a couple of times while Kibito/Dende heals him for zenkai boosts and you are good to go...

...Raditz wasn't filler, right?

The Earth Dragonballs can revive a whole planet with one wish. Vegita could have brought his race back any time he wanted to.
