lowball or highball

[ZillertheBucko]

if a two characters have statements, and character A is stated to have a 200 kilometers per hour max speed, and character B is stated to have 20000000 kilometers per hour speed, but scaling shows that they are nearly the same speed, which statement do you accept as being more valid (also assume character A had no reason to get faster, and B didn't get slower)

 

[FluffyCreatureZ]

Inconsistency I guess. That would be one shit verse if they have such drastic gaps but at the same time say the gap isn't very big.

 

[MidnightDawn1]

I'm pretty sure we just use the Lowball for the characters.

Then add the highBall as a "Possibly/Likely" rating.

And call it a day

 

[ZillertheBucko]

ok hmmm
what if character B's statement is slightly more reliable though?

 

[FluffyCreatureZ]

B rating, possibly A rating.

 

[ZillertheBucko]

B rating, possibly A rating.

hmmmm ok I guess I'll do something like that
maybe I'll just got with at least (A), likely (B)

 

[Thelastmlg]

Nah, the lower statement would just be discarded as outlier/inconsistency and we would use B

ok that's convenient if true

Is like josuke's claim of crazy diamond being subsonic, though i guess not as extreme in terms of unreliability

 

[EmilioRory10]

didn't he say that its speed was at least 300km/h or something like that? He technically wasn't wrong

 

[Thelastmlg]

He said it was 60 km/h but could go up to 300 km/h up close IIRC

 

[EmilioRory10]

wasn't 60km/h from Highway Star

 

[Antoniofer]

Both are inconsistencies, so both feats will be left at "hold" and then compare with the other ones; if most feats range around the low-end, then low-end will take priority and the high-end will be considered the outlier, or if most feats range around the high-end, then the lower feat will be considered the outlier.

However, since we do not scale travel speed, one character can travel at 200 km/h and still be able to match in speed against a 20*10^6 km/h fast character, as they use combat speed to scale, not the travel one.

 

[ZillertheBucko]

well that complicates things since there really are literally 0 other things to scale speed to in the verse

 

[Thelastmlg]

wasn't 60km/h from Highway Star

Yeah but josuke said it was for crazy diamond's punches at first

 

[EmilioRory10]

Yeah but josuke said it was for crazy diamond's punches at first

it's by far higher than 60km/h, and he is sure it's at least 300km/h.

Though for CD we only use his current rating because it comes from a feat which is backed up by a statement, if it was a statement alone and the Hanged Man feat for Chariot didn't exist (along with some other FTL chariot feats), which would make it like the example in the OP, Crazy Diamond probably would've had something like "at least Subsonic, possibly/likely FTL"

Idk exactly how accurate that translation is but there are many other translations that say a similar thing of it being at least 300km/h

 

[Thelastmlg]

i have only seen ones where he says 300 km/h, but still, the point is, saying subsonic as if it was impressive would be a anti-feat if it josuke didn't admit he calculated shit

 

[StekFence]

in fairness, Josuke is a high school student who’s literally guessing. Therefore, statement gets tossed out when he scales to guys with flat light speed statements.
