Welcome to Gaia! ::

Could we use fair judgement here? We are all well qualified "Z experts" here. And I think that by using educated guesses, we could pin down their strengths.
My only beef with that is: Why didn't THEY stop Buu? If they were stronger than Goku, then they could easily take out the Fat form. (I speculate as such anyways)
I think that it is an unfair assessment. We know Broly CAN do it. We have even seen him do it. BUT if you insist on not acknowledging that fact, to further the debate, then it is still unfair. We know Goku can jump rope, yet we haven't seen him do it, so do we say:
No, Goku cannot jump rope, because we have never seen him do it?
I think that line of thinking could get really old, really fast. (When substituting useful feats)

@ Deity: I just watched movie #8, and looked for instances of Broly using a ki orb. As vague as they were, it was done. Therefore, I withdraw my comment about him not using the ki orb against Buu.

However, when he did use it, the purpose was to charge into Goku and slam the orb against him. Therefore, he used it for offense purposes, and not defense purposes. Only in movie #10 is it used for defense.

And for the record, physical strength compared to power doesn't work. South Kaioshin could have possessed more ki than Gohan, yet Gohan could have been physically stronger. However, none of this can be proven. Thus, this comparison will lead only to a debate of opinions, which proves nothing, as we've learned before.

Now, again, you're disregarding facts. The most important one of all. In this fight, it is strictly Kid Buu versus Broly. There isn't going to be any other opponent around. You're basing that 2/9 on when he fought the Z Fighters. Problem: There ain't no Z Fighters in this battle, let alone more than one opponent.

Therefore, we have to even out 2/9 (Z Fighters = 18%) and 2/4 (Kaioshins = 50%). The result is 34%, being the probability that Kid Buu will attempt an absorption on Broly. To be honest, I'd consider the real percentage to be higher, seeing as Broly is the only one to absorb. That is only my opinion, though.

Also, just for my own knowledge, who in total are the 9 people that Kid Buu had a chance to absorb?

@Veggie's Point #1: That makes sense...yeah, Deity remembers that part. ::nodnod::

@Veggie's Point #2: Yupyup again.

@Veggie's Point #3: Well, considering most of the time more ki = more strength in Dragon Ball, Deity'd only guess that a more physically powerful opponent would have more ki at their disposal - how they conserved/used it overall is another story...South Kaioshin could be arguably a better fighter than Gohan, though Deity sees no reason why he'd be stronger otherwise.

...but debates like that just go on forever, as they're based chiefly around what someone prefers. Let's not... = =;

@Veggie's Question: Th'nine people Chibi Buu battled in total are as follows:

South Kaioshin
North Kaioshin
West Kaioshin
East Kaioshin
Dai Kaioshin
Mr. Satan
Mr. Buu
Vegeta
Son

...did Deity miss anyone?

...he actually did battle with each of them, even Mr. Satan, though he was distracted and pulled away by a more powerful opponent (Mr. Buu). He attempted two absorptions, and succeeded both times. So, two out of nine opponents were absorbed. Work that problem out for a percentage...it's actually around a 22% chance of Chibi Buu absorbing Brolly.

@Rikeen: It's been established that Chibi Buu can absorb people...we're just trying to figure the probablity that he may attempt absorbing Brolly.

Oh, no no...both of them have the ability to kill the other normally. A large/powerful enough attack from Brolly could wipe out Buu, and th'same can be said for Buu wiping out Brolly. However, Veggie has suggested that there's a big chance that Buu would absorb him...that doesn't seem so likely, but if he did (and Brolly did not in one way or another escape/counter) Buu would win. So there is a 22% chance that Chibi Buu will attempt to absorb Brolly.... =P

@ Deity: That list seems about right. Can't think of anyone else. Except the fact that he never encountered East Kaioshin in the present day, nor did he know he was there when absorbing Dai and South. Therefore, he has to be removed from the list. Correct me if I'm wrong.

And also, would Kid Buu really want to re-absorb Mr. Buu after just losing him and becoming more powerful? He's got to know his own power, and know that [[loss of Mr. Buu = more power]]. It's a simple equation that I'm sure even our crazy friend Kid Buu could figure out.

That came from when Buu was release by Babidi if I'm not mistaken.

It's possibly that Buu didn't absorb Goku and company because he rembered that absorbing things had ended up screwing him over the first time(tough to be honest I thonk even that is to much of a thought prosses for chibi Buu). If such is the case, it bears the question is this Chibi Buu the before or during his fight with the Supreem Kai's, or later when he fought Goku?

Also note that Brolly and Vagetto have diffrent barriers, Brolly's is bubble like, whist Vagetto's is tight fitting, almost arura like. Not sure it makes a diffrence, just throwing that out there.

As with many debates, Deity thinks we've boiled this one all th'way down to:

"Meh...may the best baddie win."

....there are points in Chibi Buu's favor, and points in Brolly's favor. It's simply a matter of how you want the battle to play out...like an alternate ending to a fighting game story mode. =P

@Kami: Brolly's shield and Vegetto's shield are different in that Vegetto's was skin-tight, and Brolly's acted as a hard barrier. . =;; That said, he wouldn't be able to avoid direct absorption with it (being shrunk and moved inside Buu, but not being absorbed), but Chibi Buu would fail said absorption if it was up: the gooey slab of Buu couldn't get to Brolly to try.

@Both o'ya': Interesting idea, Buu hesitating on absorbing Brolly....he might do that, might not. But each time Chibi Buu absorbed someone, it turned out badly, which is likely why he never tried it again. Again, it depends on how you see th'fight going...
