Like Father, Like Son. Both Goku and Bardock nearly got smoked in Super.

To be fair to Bardock, it was right after he fought in a pretty fierce battle:

But I'd expect something like that to sting at best.

I remember when Freeza's men in DBZ could barely make anyone flinch with their gun arms.

Krillin was laughing at them in Z, but in Super?

Even he got popped by some random goon.

Super changed a lot.
