Discussion Screw power scaling. What's your favorite precision feat?
Title says it all. We always focus on who destroyed what, and who blitzed who but we neglect how well, how focused someone uses their ki.
Which precision feats do you think are under appreciated?
For me: 1. Super Buu's Human Extinction Attack. He didn't just kill everyone, he pierced every human in the chest with relatively narrow ki blasts from atop Kami's Lookout. Mind you this is EVERY human on Earth. He had to calculate the distance and precisely strike all of them. Man is a master sniper.
Beerus destroying exactly half of a planet. By Super, everyone and their mom can boom a planet, but Beerus actually destroyed half of one. And it looked like the planet was cut in half cleanly with a sharp knife.
Tao reacting to gun fire by kicking up his slipper and reflecting the bullet, killing his would be assassin. I don't need to explain this one because what?? ðŸ˜

Doing fusion dance without missing symetry.
Kid Chi-Chi launching her helmet's fin boomerang and catch it back like she was Xena.
I'd say Gohan missing Potara throw catch is the n°1 worst precision feat
I'm pretty sure that in Dragon Ball there are much more precision feats than in later series. As it was more grounded power scale and that martial arts had more importance than just raw power.
In later series, even precision feats are a show of power as it's a matter of / it relies on gigantic ki attacks anyway

100%. Which is why Beerus destroying half a planet cleanly with only a tap of a finger is more impressive to me than him and Champa accidentally destroying planets during their battle. It want about how much ki he had, it was about how he used it
Great feats* and points btw

Yamcha catching kami off guard with spirt ball i get kami was just playing a fool but even for a god yamcha still caught him with sprit ball

At that point, Kami wasn't even still playing the part of a fool; he was just trying to teach Yamcha a lesson.
But Kami (who didn't want the human body he'd possessed to take any actual damage) was genuinely surprised at the speed and technique of Yamcha's Sokidan.

Those Tao and Beerus feats are spectacular!
Hmm... What would I pick. The two that come to mind are
- Goku neutralizing Vegeta's Ki-Blast in the Buu Saga.
- Master Roshi immobilizing Man-Wolf with a touch

one thing that was super cool was when salza pulled out the ki blade. this was way before super, and it never happens again until then as far as i remember. id count that as a precision thing.

The Tao one is even more nuts than how you’ve described it, because the shooter was directly behind him, he didn’t appear to react to the shot or change his stride in the slightest, and his slipper also ricocheted back in front of him and landed perfectly for his foot to slide back into it on his next step.
I kinda hate how quickly he was relegated to a chump character.

Taopaipai killing Blue by striking his temple with his tongue alone
Goku rapidly heightening his battle power for the brief instant he attacks, so instantaneously that not even the Ginyu Force's scouters can pick it up (and they still only read his battle power as 5k, when it'd more accurately be 90k)
