Z characters have very low physical resistance compared to energy, whch is why Superman stomps Goku all the time.

Roshi's blast I think will do more. Earth fighters boost their power whenever they attack while aliens like raditz seem to be in a state of constant flex.
When you think about it though..Roshi's moonbuster worked via destroying the core of the moon, right? His ki wave wasn't actually wide enough to encompass the entire moon. So I think Goku could take a direct hit better than he could a punch from Raditz, because the punch will be a lot of force focused into one small space.

So then what did it? Did the energy beam just explode?

Proven by Krillin staggering Nappa with a punch where suicide energy attacks did nothing, or Gohan and Piccolo stunning him witb physical blitz's, bur doing nothing with their best energy attacks.
DBZ characters have insanely low physical resistance compared to energy resist.

That's the problem though. Since raditz is a alien we know his max attack, rather physical or energy, is around 1000 power level units but roshi is up in the air.
Or Piccolo beam shooting through Raditz or Vegeta blast disintegrating Nappa, or Vegeta blast ripping Cell body apart or Frieza shooting a hole completely through Vegeta when his fist did not do this. Or Vegeta blast doing more damage to Recoome then any of his other attacks. Or Gohan turning Buu into chunks.
If energy attacks were as ineffective as you are "trying" to make it, none of these things would've happened.
But you're right, their energy resistance is weak sauce compared to Marvel/DC heavy hitter's, too.

Basically I think my overall point is..these people aren't punching with moon busting or planet busting power.
For example, Raditz can't destroy a planet in a few punches like Gladiator has.

Gammatoriyamafanboy thinks a final flash hurting Cell proves they don't have greater energy resist, but all that proves is their energy output is likewise much greater then their physical.
As you say, nobody is blowing up planets with a punch. (And the Beerus/Goku universal wave is both a one off, and not even a solo feat as Beerus had as much to do with that, if not more. Plus nothing was actually destroyed..)
The bottom line, there's far more examples of higher level characters being affected by physical attacks from lower tier, then there are of them being affected by energy attacks. The kienzan being a prominant example, as it's basically solidified ki and can cut anyone up to SSJ level (And beyond, since Cell shrugging it off is non canon.) (Or there's the more recent SSJ Hot Pink defeating Vegeta and Goku with a ki sword, which is obviously a solid object. Oe better yet, Trunks piercing Samasa was a regular sword, though it didn't kill him.)

Okay I guess I should make this known: I find the newer DBZ stuff to be horrible nonsense. All my comments are in regards to characters from DB and DBZ. Not this DB Super where you got Super Saiyan Roses and Vegeta Blues and probably Vegeta Sherbert or something.
So in that context..my "they aren't destroying planets physically" thing holds up. Especially when discussing someone like Raditz.
I'm not trying to insult anyone who likes the newer stuff, I'm just saying when I talk about it I'm usually not considering that. It's a habit that needs breaking I suppose, sort of like when I think of DC characters I think of post crisis versions first as opposed to Nu 52 versions.
