Alright, I'm gonna be honest here. I've seen some applications for multi-form technique and I've been thinking that it's a level of technique that should be something under the lines of special technique. There's a level of complexity behind the technique that, while detrimental more than useful, is still something that is only privately taught.
The technique designates that up to 4 clones can be made that are still useful. Considering that everyone is always at 50% of their full strength, this means 12.5% of that strength is being dedicated to the character, but upon being defeated, only 6.25% is returned, fully at 75% power level. If someone tries t go to full power, they can only access 75%, having exhausted 25% with the defeated clones. When the person recalls all clones though, they are back to that stable 50% level of power.
Its purpose is to swarm the enemy and make them have a difficult time, before you return to your singular self and devastate the enemy. It's got the essence of a support ability, with the offensive/defensive backing of it, but the inability to be accessed at full form, simply because of the energy burning behind accessing the full 100% (view Future Super Trunks vs. Perfect Cell). The combined forces are what normally makes a Special ability come into existence, and that's generally speaking! So, why should the knowledge of multi-form be something so applicably easy to access? If anything, the New Crane School, the Mazoku Clan, and certain Demon Clans should be the ones teach it instead, should it not? Lets talk about this technique in full, so we can make an official vote on it.

Considering it IS the Warrior Caste Namekian technique it shouldn't be applicable at all. It should remain private to the teacher and taught to students.

I would say Multi-Form would be tough to work out in the current tier system as in how would the SU1 technique differ from the SU3? Making it a special would definetely make more sense. However, I just feel that given the fact that it unwillingly makes you weaker rather than give you an actual advantage, I don't think it needs further nerfings such as limiting it's learning process. Maybe it could be one of the special techniques its available for anyone willing to spend a technique slot on it.

I view it differently. The multi form is an information gathering technique, whether it's searching a wide area with your eyes or if it's to identify the weaknesses of someone by sending in multiple forms to assault said person. It also enables that, if for some reason, the other selves are 'killed,' by a powerful attack, you can still have an existing self. In reality, this technique is far stronger than what is being given to it.
It's not a killing technique: It's a survival ability that has only the ability to be learned from the school of New Crane and the Namekian Warrior Caste. This technique requires a source, a master to teach and supervise the learning process. Schools are built upon the edicts of the masters from before, all the way to the beginning through that first master, who had put the rigorous effort to enable the technique to flourish into existence.

Good point. The only problem will be giving it to the Crane School as it will end up with more than 3 techniques, making it unbalanced. Perhaps replacing Solar Flare could do it, although SF is a very characteristic technique as well...

I don't think multi-form should be a special, gotta give people *some* of the fun stuff. Also multi-form is more than just info... straight off the bat a use I can think of for it is being able to charge/launch multiple attacks at once, or be fighting two different people in a 1v1 battle.
As for the different levels, there are many ways you can play it, part of the issue is people only think of Tiens SU3 version, which is not what you've have at SU(1) :
SU - can create 1 copy at half power SU2 - can create 2 copies at 1/3rd power SU3 - can create as many copies as wanted, but power split equally or SU - can create an After Image SU2 - can create 2 clones, 0pl SU3 - can create 10, and one has half pl
etc.
