I consider LSS to be roughly very high end SS2, but not quite at SS3 level. Under that mentality, SS4 should logically be a stomp in Vegeta's favour.
And I consider it, based on the fact that neither Gohan nor Goku were full power super saiyans, that Broli is just a really high level SSJ, and not even at the level of a full power super saiyan.
Here's the logic:
Vegeta, at SSJ, kicked android 19 and 20s asses. Then, he got his ass utterly handed to him by 17 and 18. It was a stomp. Just as bad if not worse than Broli's stomp against the Z fighters.
Imperfect cell RAPED the shit out of android 17. 17 was stronger than 18.
Vegeta did training in the HBTC. The power gap was HUGE between Semi-Perfect Cell and Vegeta: much further than imperfect cell and 17.
Then, Perfect Cell raped the shit out of HBTC trained Vegeta. Rather easily.
THEN, HBTC trained Goku was almost dead even with Perfect Cell.
So, going by that logic, Vegeta and Trunks, (with trunks having long hair, proving that he had trained in the HBTC), and Gohan and Goku BEFORE they had reached full power SSJ (because they were not in the constant state of SSJ, like the FPSSJ form has).
By that logic, Goku and Gohan would have utterly raped Broli. Goku was outclassed, for sure, but it wasn't an utter stomp as Goku was able to hang in there for quite some time.
The difference between pre-HBTC Goku and post is HUGE. It is ridiculous. Vegeta and Goku were about the same before either trained in the HBTC. The power gap for Vegeta, himself, is very large. The power gap between Goku and Vegeta trained is huge.
pre-HBTC trained Goku = pre-HBTC Vegeta (about equal. Some say the Vegeta might have been a tad stronger.)
Post HBTC trained Vegeta >>>>> pre-HBTC trained Goku.
Post HBTC trainedVegeta <<< Post-HBTC trained Goku.
Full power SSJ Broli >> SSJ Goku. (Probably with a tad bit of HBTC training.)
SSJ2 Gohan >>>>>> Perfect Cell. (He was owning his ass and he was just toying with him.)
Perfect Cell is more powerful than Broli, no doubt. He is definitely significantly faster. I would put their Ki energy levels around the same...with Perfect Cell being slightly higher.
