Yamcha vs Tien: Height, Strength, Power Comparison | Dragon Ball Showdown

Introduction:  Characters from Dragon Ball take pride in their trademark, usually brute force or special talents with key physiological features. So, these two fan favorites, Yamcha and Tien, make appearances in Dragon Ball Z for their respective arcs, personalities, and fighting styles. But how would they match up in height, strength, and development of the character throughout the series?
In the following article, we get a close look at Yamcha versus Tien: their height and skill set comparisons.

Yamcha and Tien: Who is Taller?
Another question almost every Dragon Ball series fan asks is about Yamcha's height as against Tien. In the context of the Dragon Ball canon:

Yamcha: 183 cm (~6 ft), with a more casual, friendly look.

Tien: Tall and barely muscular, if that is a thing, standing at about 187 or so cm-which is about 6′1″. His stoic and drill-sergeant-like demeanor adds all the more to the intimidation of looking constantly slightly punished from optimized training.
The heights seem to say much about them, though: Tien is the taller of the two, their heights fitting their personalities. Yamcha is mostly laid back, while Tien takes his martial arts training and sparring much more seriously.

Yamcha Vs Tien — Standing power levels and combat styles
In this fight, both Yamcha and Tien bring out differing styles so that no clear argument may be brought out about the relative strength and power levels of both fighters.

Wolf Fang Fist Technique: Most notable of Yamcha is his Wolf Fang Fist Spirit Ball, his agility, and strong energy techniques. An artistic flair led to some really cool character design choices, and although he was not the strongest Z Fighter out there, he'll nonetheless have an army of fans behind him.

Tien's Tack: Trained in the art of the Crane School, Tien is most adept with the Tri-Beam and Solar Flare. Sporting abilities that range from a third eye to multi-arm techniques, he is a versatile and resilient warrior that can never be out of his element in a fight.

Even though Tien is always seemingly stronger than Yamcha by a landslide, they're two different forms of badasses with different means of alleviating power: for Tien, it's all about self-improvement, and for Yamcha, he just seems naturally good at being only good at what he does.

 Interaction between Characters: The Paths of Yamcha and Tien
Both Yamcha and Tien have become super different in terms of character development.

From Desert Bandit to Earth Defender and Friend: The Evolution of Yamcha Although in the later arcs, he is less of a fighter, he remained an embodiment of fighting spirit and cheer.

Journey Tien: The former villain turned faithfulness to the Z Fighter is a testimony of his commitment to reputation and power. Let alone his pure love for Chiaotzu and his persistent self-control.

 Incidentally, Yamcha was more popular than Tien amongst people who voted in an early fan poll.
Even as the series moved on and progressed to characters far stronger compared to Yamcha and Tien, they've still kept followings of fans. A bit of fun-some insights directly from the fans: Despite the failures he had, in spite of it all, Yamcha became a fan favorite because of his down-to-earth struggles and even became a meme after some of his memorable defeats. Developing this determination and being able to realize his full potential have made him one of the most dependable and respected Z Fighters; a respect aimed at him even by Tien himself in a concentrated manner.               

Conclusion
But, notwithstanding physical differences, Yamcha being smaller and less muscular, embracing a roundhouse approach in combat, whereas usually Tien uses the crane style; both are vital in the Dragon Ball franchise. Their loyalty, quirks, and powerful techniques-the stuff they own-make them irreplaceable members of the Dragon Ball universe.
