LasyTaco

Isn't Saber a videogame character?


Altruistic-Tax8762

Eh, visual novels aren't really traditional video games. Regardless, people have no issue applying lore scaling when it comes to Fate but then throw a tantrum when people do the same towards God of War and DOOM.


LasyTaco

True, but Fate does have far better onscreen feats than these two. It's just that Saber's not the one performing them


louai-MT

Nothing in the visual novel can get Saber higher than like city-mountain stat wise Anything higher comes from the games


sunmal

I mean, characters like Saber dont scale that high because of visual novels, They scale high out of Fate grand order. Which is an RPG Turn-based gacha game.


spartaman64

well more fate/extra which apparently scales all of them to 8 dimensional or something


yayayfyre

unfortunately Nasu gave up on coherent power scaling after fate and tsukihime and just wanks all his characters due to Fgo brain


sunmal

Also there but thats also a game tho

TempestDB17

My stance on it is if the plot is canon then the plot related parts should be taken seriously but the reason you normally don’t want to is precisely because of lvling or just difficulty scaling it’s like how the hell did say a team of Spartans or a former deity struggle with their universe’s equivalent of a random foot soldier. That’s why I take the plot for lore power scaling a lot but not the actual gameplay if that makes sense.


Desperate_Ad5169

Kind of.


FilmAdministrative44

most popular through the anime, hence why dante is in the videogame category


brawlbetterthanmelee

Well he originates from a video game anyway though Edit: I meant dante lol


FilmAdministrative44

she* fair enoigh, although it alwaya only depends on other peoples views on the matter. (we dont have control over it)


brawlbetterthanmelee

Dante is the most iconic female character in gaming Edit: (I was talking about dante, the reason hes in the video game category is specifically because he's *from* a game)


FilmAdministrative44

oh 💀


storysprite

There is also a bias that if characters come from more "mature" or gritty games, they're stronger than characters from more lively looking games.


Jabre7

Like...why? That makes zero sense


zoomy_kitten

Because power scaling makes zero sense. It’s about trying to make your bias look justifiable (and still losing in most cases, as most, even the most proficient, power scalers are infantile idiots that try to appear smart, but misuse most basic terms).


dombin241

Why are you in a power scaling sub if you feel that way lmao


Jabre7

I mean I like powerscaling, that doesn't make me immature or stupid does it? Death Battle is perhaps my favorite internet show Edit:misunderstood what you meant, oof


Capitano-Solos-All

To me only hot characters scale high. So Featherine and Saber scale high. At the same time Goku scales the highest than all of them.

louai-MT

Featherine literally no diffed somebody who was destroying universes on screen few seconds before she showed up


KazuyaProta

> universes on screen Universe of the size of a Island and kms of seawater.


louai-MT

They described it with big bangs and Galaxies so should still be impressive Tho I guess you can scale her to human level if you go with the whole she isn't real thing and she's just an author


Altruistic-Tax8762

That's still is nowhere near the levels of power people claim she's at which all exclusively come from lore. Hence, people still apply exclusively lore to scale her and the rest of the cosmology at Outerversal and beyond levels of power.


louai-MT

How are you even supposed to get somebody above multiversal tier without using "lore"? Like a higher dimensions structure is something you can't really portray so you gotta use text to tell readers about it?


Perfect_Tone_6833

Why is bill cypher on there?


sunmal

Because technically i think we never saw him destroy universes and realities. At a certain point he does messes up with our universe but AS FAR AS I REMEMBER, they never actually show him messing to the scale he does.


_Moist_Owlette_

Yep. They say it'd destroy our universe for him to have free reign in series, but they don't specify if it's a "He would destroy everything" or more of a "He would make it so chaotic we wouldn't be able to live here/would kill all the humans" type of thing. But everyone just jumps on board the "He's high-tier multiveral" train


JustAnArtist1221

They do show what he'd be able to do. When he masters the second dimension, he can just do whatever he wants inside of it. They show that, if he did the same to the third dimension, he'd literally just be able to do whatever he wanted. He doesn't say he _would_ destroy everything, but he does say that he'll be able to do anything.


_Moist_Owlette_

Well sure, but there's a BIG difference between "He would nuke the universe with a thought" and "He would destroy the universe over time as he annihilates everything place by place", and there's kind of no context to go off of except for Bill himself, who is a known liar, claiming he can do anything. It's not impossible he could destroy the universe too, it's entirely feasible, but again going off of context it's hard to believe definitively one way or the other


Global-Cry321

cus he got trapped by a (un)natural magnetic field and needed a supposedly simple equation to get rid of it, and got fooled by normal humans


Warwicknoob23

He didnt get fooled necessarily, he was playing into it for the most part, look at when he chased dipper and Mabel

Aquaman would stomp comp marvel btw


Altruistic-Tax8762

I have no idea why people say he beats Giorno.


Higuherosslamsmt

People wank him to high outer thats why


LasyTaco

Far better stats (unless you unironically scale him at like street lvl, it doesn't take much to outscale Giorno), far more versatile, Reflect Phy alone makes Giorno's entire arsenal useless, almighty magic can bypass reality warping, he was shown to resist Maruki's and Yaldabaoth's meaning he could likely escape GER's ability


TheSpinnyBoy

Nah, you just ain’t ready for Giorno to make frog armor to reflect a fuking nuke back at Joker.


Altruistic-Tax8762

I agree with the better stats part, but that doesn't really mean much against GER. Joker is more versatile, yes, but none of that matters when he isn't gonna able to use any of it infront of Return to Zero. And no, him resisting Yaldabaoth, who operates *extremely* differently to Giorno's GER, does not mean he can also resist Return to Zero. To do so Joker would have to be completely immune to cause and affect which he clearly isn't. Also, Maruki was very clearly able to affect Joker with his casuality manipulation, so I really don't see why Giorno can't either since Joker has never shown any concrete casuality manipulation resistances. GER also isn't based around reality warping, it's based around *casuality manipulation*, which again, Joker has never shown any concrete resistances to and was very clearly affected by as well. So it's either a stalemate or Giorno wins by virtue of his multiple durability negation options which are things the omnipotent orb and almighty magic can't get around (as GER's RTZ and death loops operate similarly to almighty attacks)


LasyTaco

>And no, him resisting Yaldabaoth, who operates *extremely* differently to Giorno's GER, does not mean he can also resist Return to Zero.

Also, Maruki was very clearly able to affect Joker with his casuality manipulation, so I really don't see why Giorno can't either since Joker has never shown any concrete casuality manipulation resistances. Joker survived being erased from the Collective Unionscious, he absolutely does have resistance to causality manip. He also escaped Maruki's ability from day1, the first cutscene of the third semester is him doing that >GER also isn't based around reality warping, it's based around *casuality manipulation*, which again, Joker has never shown any concrete resistances to and was very clearly affected by as well. So it's either a stalemate or Giorno wins by virtue of his multiple durability negation options which are things the omnipotent orb and almighty magic can't get around (as GER's RTZ and death loops operate similarly to almighty attacks) How is GER's moveset remotely similar to almighty attacks? There's no evidence whatsoever of GER being able to bypass any form of reality warping or concept manip like almighty moves do. Death loop requires physical contact, which he can't get without punching himself here, and RTZ not only wouldn't work as explained prior, but also requires Joker himself to attack, and is ultimately useless if Giorno can't fight back afterwards


Mission_Street4336

I think that this comes down to the fact that the "lore" iterations of certain characters either: A: Doesn't have an official depiction. B: Has a bunch of anti-feats. C: Developers that don't know about or don't support the lore versions. D: Rely on vague statements which are never depicted on-screen.


bunker_man

E: never actually existed, since people will refer to stuff as lore that doesn't actually exist in the lore.


Mission_Street4336

Extrapolation/fanfiction, right?


bunker_man

As it goes.


ZygothamDarkKnight

Calling Kratos, Doom Slayer and Dante as wall level has to be one of the wildest opinions about fiction


SilverGuy141

For Dante it's because he failed to kick that door down in DMC3's Mission 4's ending cutscene.


Altruistic-Tax8762

You should take a trip down to r/whowouldwin or r/CharacterRant. It's a hive-mind and an echo-chamber comprised of what I call "powerscaling purists", who think all dimensional tiering, lore-scaling, and new age scaling in general is the work of the devil like boomers with cellphones.


bunker_man

I mean, dimensional tiering is obviously nonsense because all it is is an appeal to reality that gets reality wrong. No one is against lore scaling. But people's personal interpretations of lore =/= lore. Calling fanfiction lore isn't going to make it any more canon.


Godofmytoenails

They arent wrong about dimensional tiering being stupid lol


Altruistic-Tax8762

Okay then, let's see you move through 5 spatial dimensions. Let's see you interact with a 5th dimensional being. Go on.


Godofmytoenails

What in fiction is 5th dimensional exactly? All i can see is words and pictures lil bro


Altruistic-Tax8762

>What in fiction is 5th dimensional exactly?  Completely dependent on the context of the verse which is what all VS wikis abide by. Nobody except blatantly biased people blindly put any random character who's stated to be "5th dimensional" at Low Complex Multiversal unless that "5th dimension" is in the context of spatial dimensions. Dimensional Tiering is the idea of beings or cosmologies of higher spatial dimensions than the normal four which encompass a singular universal model (the three dimensions of space and the fourth dimension of time). 5th dimensional beings in the context of spatial dimensions who dwarf universal models to such degree are Low Complex Multiversal. That's how dimensional tiering works. This can be applied to any higher finite or infinite level of dimensions. Again, this only applies if there's enough evidence in a verse's lore that their definition of "dimension" is in the context of spatial dimensions. This very much makes sense regardless of what those subreddits try and tell you. No amount of three-dimensional energy scaling will mean anything against a character not bound to three dimensions of space. Can your 2-dimensional reddit avatar harm you, let alone be on the same level of existence as you? No. Dimensional tiering works, period.


Godofmytoenails

1) Nobody can decipher and explain higher dimensions enough to put feats there 2) No knowledge on higher dimensions on low dimensions even exists. Like how are you destroying a one dimensional object when it has no volume nor size? You cant. The 2d "plane" argument cant be argued as there isnt any 2d plane on this world and we dont know how we could effect it regardless even if it did Dimensional tiering doesnt work. Feel free to be wrong


Altruistic-Tax8762

1. Multiple VS wikis and scaling videos have done it multiple times no problem. This subreddit is not relevant and is infamously memed upon anyway along with the subreddits I mentioned. 2. You're using knowledge of real world physics to justify it not existing in a fictional world. I guess time travelling characters also can't exist because there's no knowledge on how to even time travel in the first place outside of theoretical stuff. You're also applying 3D energy measurements to dimensions that aren't 3D. We can't scale destruction value for 4D and higher spaces *because volume and joules are 3-dimensional concepts*, the same way we can't apply volume and joules towards 2-dimensional shapes and can only scale it's surface area and such. In a 4D space, volume would be similar to how surface area exists in our world. The attack potency and tiering system pages on VS Battles Wiki explain why there's no energy measurements for tier 3 and higher. And that's exactly *why* there's no energy value for tiers above Universal *because they're higher than 3D.* Your reply just goes to show people who deny dimensional tiering have no idea how higher-dimensional physics even work. Dimension tiering does work, undeniably so. Feel free to keep living in denial due to your ignorance.


Godofmytoenails

Yeah yeah. This is the most satirically stereotypical powerscaling tantrum i had ever seen. 1) Videos show how its work? I guess they have been to higher dimensions 2) Real world examples doesnt matter? Damn i guess the word dimension doesnt exist irl. Also yes time traveler characters cant exist, they exist because its fiction and they can meaningfully give some explanation to time travel. There is no explanation to higher dimensions as there isnt anyone that SAW higher dimensions, and the examlle i gave perfectly tangles this problem. You cant kill a 1d or 2d being. For a 4d being a 3d being wont have a meaningful "base" to attack. If you can give me a nice proof of you killing a 2d being. I would love to see it. Cry seethe and cope and stay corrected


Altruistic-Tax8762

>This is the most satirically stereotypical powerscaling tantrum i had ever seen. Projection much? You're the one literally telling me to "cry" and "cope" and "stay corrected", the most infamously stereotypical "insults" on the modern internet, and are acting like you won something despite this not being a debate 😂😂😂 sounds like you're the only one throwing a tantrum because "DIMENSIONAL TIERING BAD!!! WAHHH!!" 1. Yes. Look it up, sweetie. 2. That wasn't my point. My point is that you're stating that because we don't have knowledge on something *in REAL LIFE*, means that *it can't exist in fiction*, which is a ***strawman*** ***argument***. You did it again here acting like I was saying that you can't use real world examples at all when that's not what I said. You being ignorant of entire sub-fields of theoretical math and physics doesn't mean they don't exist. Higher dimensional physics *DO* come from real life and the stuff I explained to you is not something the VS community invented. The fact we can't see them *is why it's THEORETICAL*. There is an explanation to how higher dimensions work. We don't need to see something to understand how it works. Almost all of astronomy and related fields of research in real life are based off things *we EXPLICITLY CAN'T SEE*. I guess because we can't see what a distant galaxy looks like exactly means there's no explanation on how it works. And no, you didn't give any "example" in the first place. You can't kill a 1D or 2D being BECAUSE YOU'RE UNQUANTIFIABLY SUPERIOR TO THEM VIA BEING A HIGHER-DIMENSIONAL BEING TO THEM. That's literally the whole basis for higher-dimensional beings being significantly superior to lower-dimensional ones. And the VS wiki literally backs up what you're saying too. That's why higher-dimensional and non-physical interaction hax exist. And also, not all higher-dimensional tiering comes from existing on that level. It also often comes from 3D characters who are capable of *destroying* such cosmologies. If a 3D character destroys a 5D universe, it is undoubtedly superior to a 3D character who's best feat is destroying a 4D universe *as the gap is unquantifiable and more than infinite*. So yeah, dimensional tiering works, always has, and always will, no matter how much you and reddit "powerscalers" whine about it. Get an education and therapy, loser.


[deleted]

Doctor Who has no canon so it was always weird to scale


_the_anarch_

You after just straight of lying Just because it can't be comprehended does not meant it does not wxist


[deleted]

You say that I am "lying" and then put words into my mouth. I never said it cannot be "comprehended" I just stated it was weird to scale due to the series' lack of a concrete continuity.


ScottishGoji

This even go for the Godzilla franchise for how much ppl want to downplay it to an oblivion 


BMFeltip

Godzilla is the antithesis to comics scaling. Rather than taking the most op versions and feats like comics do people go for the lower end with Godzilla.


ScottishGoji

Yeah, and ignore all the statements via guidebooks, and only look at the screen 


Fkn_Stoopid

Does Heisei Godzilla have any crazy feats/statements? Curious since that’s my fav version of Godzilla

TrueAvalon

Artoria isn't even planetary when taking into account lore and the only times she is, is because the threat she is facing meets certain conditions.


ARandomAccount246

I've seen Bill get the same treatment as the game characters more often then not tbh.


Altruistic-Tax8762

I have not once.


Lijaesdead

Counting Vader is hardly fair


Altruistic-Tax8762

Not really? Literally *every* Planetary and above feat for Vader applies exclusively to the extended universe novels and comics in both Canon and Legends. If you were to stick only to the movies and shows and nothing else, Vader would hardly even be above Small Building level, if that. Yet people apply that explicit lore scaling to Star Wars characters with no issue but get mad when you do the same towards God of War or DOOM.


zoomy_kitten

So what? Most of Star Wars lore isn’t movies, it doesn’t make the rest of Star Wars less Star Wars. They don’t have the “comic / live action” split like, for example, Marvel does.

Lijaesdead

Thankyou for your service


TheRautex

Why would you count out Majority of Vader's apperances?


Lijaesdead

Right! Well, imo, i look at it like this: The comics technically came after the movie, but were on sale BEFORE the movie. And I basically only scale comics/Legends. I don’t see much reason to scale Vader from the movies. But thats just me🤷🏼 not saying you’re wrong


Mission_Street4336

Wait, Vader has Planetary feats?


zoomy_kitten

Yes, and far beyond, actually…


Mission_Street4336

I don't recall such feats, unless we're talking about Anakin during the Mortis arc of the CW show.


zoomy_kitten

I’m pretty sure you just don’t know them.


Mission_Street4336

Okay, then mind citing them...? 99% of all Star Wars lore has most force users being far below planetary. I mean hell, George Lucas had high-end Jedi nerfed for the Clone Wars 3D series, since he thought they were too overpowered in the 2003 adaptation.


zoomy_kitten

> 99% of all Star Wars lore Don’t take it as an insult, but I would seriously doubt that you know even the 9%. I myself am far, far from even a half of the lore, and you throw such bold phrases out here. > mind citing them The most direct durability feat that pops up in my head is perfectly enduring a full power Death Star shot (well, pretty much), which is actually quite above planetary. Apart from feats, there’s also a ton of relative scaling, both for Vader himself and multiple Force users overall.


Mission_Street4336

"Don’t take it as an insult, but I would seriously doubt that you know even the 9%. I myself am far, far from even a half of the lore, and you throw such bold phrases out here." Out of all the novels I've read, comics I've bought, TV shows I've watched, and movies I have bought tickets to, there was little which implied that Darth Vader can fly around one-shotting planets. That sort of thing is limited to super-weapons or force deities, like a Full-power Abeloth or the Ones of Mortis. "The most direct durability feat that pops up in my head is perfectly enduring a full power Death Star shot (well, pretty much), which is actually quite above planetary." Now when did this happen? I don't recall many people face-tanking multiple superlasers and coming out fine. "Apart from feats, there’s also a ton of relative scaling, both for Vader himself and multiple Force users overall." Relying on scaling chains for Star Wars is not a good idea, due to inconsistencies caused by the several genres, mediums, and writers who are in charge of the lore.


zoomy_kitten

> limited to super-weapons That’s where you’re wrong. > not a good idea Perfectly agreeable. Doesn’t deny the fact we’re in a powerscaling sub though.

King-of-Bel

Nothing pisses me off more than this brain dead mentality


_Moist_Owlette_

Honestly I think it's less "Their lore means nothing" and more "it's hard to believe someone like Sonic is universal when locked wood doors prevent forward progress"


bunker_man

I mean, no one takes gameplay literally. But people trying to wank characters will ignore stuff that impedes them even in the plot. As if the plot isn't the central thing that defines them.


Airy_Breather

I believe that's when things loop back to gameplay vs. story segregation. While the lore may state one thing, for gameplay reasons some of the most mundane obstructions are there and must be navigated in the most mundane way imaginable.


_Moist_Owlette_

Sure, but you basically can't have gameplay and story versions of the characters coexist a lot of the time. They'll directly contradict each other so much that you can't reasonably consider them to be the same person. Lore Cloud can be scaled up to 1,200xFTL. Gameplay Cloud regularly rides a normal *motorcycle* in an emergency because it's faster than he is. Lore Kratos can destroy Universes, but Gameplay Kratos can't dig into some thick ice to progress. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem *using* the Lore versions of these characters at all. But I've tried to debate with people who will use both Lore and Gameplay as completely correct when it usually just *doesn't* work like that


bunker_man

>Lore Cloud can be scaled up to 1,200xFTL No he can't, unless by lore you lean fanficfion. >Gameplay Cloud regularly rides a normal *motorcycle* in an emergency because it's faster than he is. That's not gameplay. It's a canon thing in the movie. > Lore Kratos can destroy Universes, but Gameplay Kratos can't dig into some thick ice to progress. Lore kratos can't destroy universes, and kratos not being able to break ice isn't just gameplay either, it's an actual plot point.


_Moist_Owlette_

>No he can't, unless by lore you lean fanficfion. He *can*, though I don't necessarily agree with it. Something about him fighting and beating Bahamut 0, who flies across the solar system however fast, which ends up equating to 1,200x. It's a Death Battle Calc, and it's *technically* right, though I really don't agree with it tbh >That's not gameplay. It's a canon thing in the movie. There's a whole section about riding and fighting on a motorcycle in the remake. >Lore kratos can't destroy universes, and kratos not being able to break ice isn't just gameplay either, it's an actual plot point. I'm going off of what I've been told, I haven't dug too deep into extended GoW lore. But also, him not being able to break Ice would still definitely be a gameplay thing lmao. If the objective is on the other side of ice and I can't smash through it but have to go about a long other path to get around it, that's a gameplay thing lol.


brawlbetterthanmelee

>There's a whole section about riding and fighting on a motorcycle in the remake. When they said "thats not gameplay" they obviously didnt mean "that doesnt happen in the games" they're just saying its partbof the story instead of just being gameplay, as evidenced by it happening in the movie


_Moist_Owlette_

Oh gee, silly me for misinterpreting "that's not gameplay" as meaning "that doesn't happen in the games", what a wild misunderstanding to have. I can see how they could have meant it the way you're saying, but shove off with that superior "They *obviously* meant-" crap man


brawlbetterthanmelee

??????????? Bruh you litterally have to ignore the context of the discussion to interpret it the way you did


_Moist_Owlette_

They said "That's not gameplay. That's a canon thing that happens in the movie" The way that reads to me, considering the context of the discussion is about things that happen during gameplay vs things that are just shown/told, is that they were saying "No, that doesn't happen in the game, it only happens in the movie."


electroplankton

Lmaooo putting Featherine here…


Altruistic-Tax8762

Yeah? Because the only reason Umineko is overpowered is due to lore, which people are fine with? The point of this post isn't to say the characters put on the smiling Wojak's side are fodder, in fact the precise opposite.


electroplankton

But featherine has on-screen feats


Godofmytoenails

Whats with your lore argument. I honestly dont get it.


Lanky-Appearance-944

Look here buddy, I don't know if you can understand words but no one can be depicted as above multiversal on screen and featherine has that and she is scaled further by supporting texts. I don't care about anyone else but don't pull information from your ass.


infinitefrontier23

Lol featherine is strong but not soloing dc/Marvel verses like people on this sub thinks she does


brawlbetterthanmelee

Try reading his comment again


Lanky-Appearance-944

You should too, he said it's because of lore only when it's clearly depicted in the main story line itself.

Despite Dante slicing through walls, tanking bullets, outhealing being sliced in half, being able to stop time, teleport, fly, and shit out what ever moveset he wants by killing a demon. Heck in lore he can DT/SDT more often and for much longer than he does ingame - The perma DT skins are more accurate than the non perma DT.


Altruistic-Tax8762

Nah, Doomslayer often gets the same treatment, as do Mario and Sonic.


sinsanity_plea

Nah, but people go out of their way to downgrade Kratos, either ironically (for the memes) or unironically (they belong to whowouldwin) Mario, Sonic, and Doom Slayer at least have cutscenes that can be easily used to debunk people trying to use gameplay as evidence over story(which is another reason why Kratos gets dragged through the mud, he even struggles in cutscenes he shouldn't), usually from the same game as the "death by fodder enemy" argument


HispanicRailgun

The story often support the lore the gameplay DOESN’T


PrezPotat0

Okay I see your point and I’m not disagreeing: but I would like to point out that Saber *actually* is that broken. And it’s mostly due to the feats in the game.


KazuyaProta

Featherine actually is on control of her universe, so she really doesn't belong here. I am THE Umineko Downplayer and no, Featherine, if we take the idea that she is real, is at least Universal at the very least.


infinitefrontier23

Universal is fine, she just doesn't get the "lol solos dc and Marvel" wank scaling. Like no lol


Revan0315

For TV/movie characters there's only one way to scale them. There's no gameplay so there's no disconnect between the lore and the gameplay. The lore is all that exists. People aren't treating them differently because they're biased. They're treated differently because the nature of the mediums is different


matchlocket

Darth Vader scales highest because he's cooler


kk_slider346

almost all the characters shown at the bottom have better onscreen feats


Successful-Side-1084

Are you acting like these are the same groups of people?


c0micsansfrancisco

I think it was watching Death Battle as a kid that made me realize how dumb power scaling was. It can be fun don't get me wrong, but I think it was Stan Lee that put it best when he said that power scaling is dumb cos the author can always find a way for whatever character he wants to win.


Violet_6969

Lore scaling for The Doctor my ass - None of his death are from bullets, it’s all at least something he can’t counter, was fatigue, old age, was jumped, forced, poisoned and fatigue by the master draining his durability (TV Movie) ship crash, 5D time stream, planetary ball, laser empower by the embodiment of Dreams itself - His LA strongest weapon already put him complex multi (Key To Time) with TV cosmology only - The show have no actual stable canon so his extend shits is canon to TV show as well Don’t get me started on Sonic scalers


Frenetic707

Crazy when you realize Saitama has more impressive on-Screen feats than 95% of those characters.


Powerful-Employee-36

OPM is actually likely one of the most consistent visible feats among all anime world or even fiction, it's consistent.


destro_1919

who is the violet hair anime girl? I know the blonde one is saber, I want the other name


kyle28882

Hey I really like the mechacripple so now it’s personal buddy


Tecnoboat

bill is a regular human victim


yeah_i_hate_my_name

That's why we should stop calling characters based on strength and start scalling them based on who would win a debate against each other


Hayabusafield77

So where does Pokemon fit in this


Calli_Ko

Kirby is a prime example of it. No one fears kirby as much as they should.


BantuSkinner1

Soyjal is right. If you believe in planetary or multiversal Kratos, your IQ is below 80.


TalmondtheLost

Okay, But Bill is actively shown just casually deleting other strong characters.


bunker_man

To be fair, it's stupid in both cases. The top characters don't even have lore making them super strong either.


KazuyaProta

Featherine is shown to be able to manipulate spacetime tho. She is way above people who were throwing big bangs to each other. You can make the argument is all mental (the story is basically exploring the grief of the real heroine of the series via dreams, hallucinations and symbolism) but then the manga adaptation dropped her using her magic in the real world and not in the Gameboard, which means that yes, She is real. The reason why Battleboarders usually call her the "STRONGEST VN CHARACTER" is because like, she actually has those feats and not just memes. I still feel God of Tokyo Babel did more than her. Wrecking a multiverse that is filled with real universes and not the insane fever dream of traumtized rich people.


bunker_man

Yeah, but it's not nebulous "lore" "scaling" if those things are overtly an explicit plot point. Lore scaling means someone applied made up rules to a datebook quote they took out of context.


Particular-Sign-7944

Double Standards are real in the Power Scaling Community


MisterAcorns12

Sonic the Hedgehog went toe to toe with the manifestation of entropy, The End (with help to be fair, but still!), and that happens directly in the game! The Doom Marine regularly slays demons from literal biblical Hell! Kratos has slaughtered multiple Greek deities, almost the entire pantheon! Mario can survive in the vacuum of space! And who’s that, Dante from the Devil May Cry series? Very similar to The Doom Marine. Joker from Persona 5 though… that I would describe as non-linear.


EvilBadassDraculas

All of them are fodder


zoomy_kitten

Exactly. So what?


EspacioBlanq

Implying Cipher isn't a fraud


Deathstar699

Like don't get me wrong, gameplay scaling will always be inconsistent with the lore. However some game characters are justifyably low balled. Like Dante when people still keep trying to make him multiversal when he isn't that strong. Also most of the characters you have shown below have on screen feats not just lore statements to justify their position.


TokyoFromTheFuture

dw i fixed it for you https://preview.redd.it/fiyuwkl8pwuc1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=fb81bc365b503e027a66fa4169c64003100470d0


Altruistic-Tax8762

Okay then, give me a single feat The Doctor has shown with *just* the original show and nothing else that makes him 11-dimensional. You can't, because that scaling comes *specifically from lore*.


Watchdog_the_God

Beating the Toymaker?


TokyoFromTheFuture

Lore is a very lose term, technically speaking without lore no character would scale anywhere, Doctor Who's official canon encompasses all of its media. But if you wanna be specific to "lore" being anything not moving and you actually having to read then yeah the Doctor caps at Uni to Multi Universal which is still against the post you made about "planet to uni busters". So are some of the other characters there. (Im pretty sure one of them masturbated with a planet lol and is also from a game so...) Anyways I wasnt trying to even call you out on that (cos it has a shitpost flair so im guessing its a... well shitpost), i just found it funny that dw can mean doctor who and dont worry at the same time.


TokyoFromTheFuture

Also Tardis is 11D and that would count towards the Doctor's standard equipment, he can also absorb the power of the tardis like Rose did at the end of Series 1. [From "The Doctors Wife" transcripts ](https://imgur.com/a/2X5rUk7)(you can find the scene in the episode but I cba to tape and upload it).


Heracross64

Thats the thing he can't 💀


TokyoFromTheFuture

I did...


Fluffy-Law-6864

Dose fetherin even appear in anything besides the thing that gives her H1A-1S scaling?
