Right but Cell was MASSIVELY more powerful than 16 who was much stronger than 17 who in turn was stronger than 18. And 18 of course was stronger than 13, 14 or 15.
IWO that blast that only held Semi Cell back(actually it forced him down against his will and he was powerless to fight it) would have obliterated anyone below him.

I was thinking along those lines. Tien was holding him down and Cell had no way of getting out, he wasn't hurt much, if at all but he couldn't get away from the blast until Tien passed out. So Tien was at least strong enough to hold him down.
Later on you have SP Cell fighting Gohan with his own beam and Vegeta hits him with a Big Bang Attack that only tickles him, he barely budges outside of moving his head. That is a stronger Cell and a much stronger attack than the tribeam but imo it shows that not just any blast from a weaker opponent can hold someone down or make them budge. I feel like the power difference between SP Cell and Vegeta is less than the difference between 2nd Form Cell and Tien.
Well those androids got smoked by Super Saiyans. And were beating up Vegeta and Trunks in their base forms.
We know that Tien can keep up speed-wise with Trunks in his base form, but likewise loses to a Super Saiyan.
So they are pretty even, but I'd go advantage Tien due to him having arguably a larger move-set.
