Community Consensus: GT vs Super: The Findings, is GT downplay a myth or vocal minority?
If you’ve seen the results for the previous polls feel free to scroll to the last paragraph.
So as many of you have probably seen I’ve been running polls on here asking how far GT Goku and SSJ 4 Gogeta gets against characters from Super and their various God Forms. I was tired of the “this sub is full of Super wankers downplaying GT” or vice versa, so I wanted some actual numbers on what people thought about the GT vs Super matchup. I had a feeling the opinions here were a lot more varied than one dominant side over the other, so I was happy to see that reflected in the numbers.
For the first poll, GT Goku vs the God Forms (and any character using them) 38% said he loses to Base Cabba, which can be explained by the belief that the base God form is still a thing, which is debatable but understandable. 28% thought he loses to God, some people think Super power creeps over GT so I wasn’t too suprised to see that. The other 44% had him going further, with the most popular opinion in that category being him losing to SSJ Blue Goku. So fair to say the community leans heavily towards GT Goku not surpassing SSJ God, but how does that fight go down?
2nd poll was how well GT Goku actually does against God Goku (or Vegeta) and things got a lot more interesting. Only 11% thought was still base Cabba level 26% thought he gets no diffed by Godku, meaning 63% of the community thought he would be able to actually either be able to give Godku a good warmup (17%), or give him a run for his money (18%) or even forcing him into Blue to guarantee a victory (13%) the remaining 16% were holdouts on him beating God all together. Which raised a really good question, if most of the community (at least the ones voting) think GT Goku is worthy of at least being in the ring with a SSJ God, how do they think SSJ 4 Gogeta would do?
Finally the Big Kahuna of GT enters the battlefield, and here’s where the “GT downplay” or even the “BOG Goku completely destroys” narrative falls apart. 46% of voters thought SSJ 4 Gogeta could be defeated by SSJ Blue (any arc) or below, so that includes even the “Base Cabba Solos” crowd. The majority 54% had him going much further. 14% had him making it to the end of the TOP but losing to either Jiren or UI Goku, about 1% said Broly (sorry Broly). Here’s where it gets interesting, the rest think it would take fusion to beat fusion here. 17% think it’d take SSJ God Gogeta, beyond that 7% said it’d take Beerus to win, finally 15% thinks he solos Super entirely. So not a whole lot of consensus, but it seems the community agrees he’s beyond Kefla, and would make it DEEP into the Tournament of Power, probably losing to or defusing against Jiren.
