Not always. The Selene battleship was known to be capable of destroying an entire city before it had done anything other than fly.
Not a good comparison, and also not entirely true. The Selene had also already triggered an explosion with its energy by this point due to Otto's sabotage in 1955. Additionally, it's capabilities are known because the equation for its power was quite literally located, they don't have to scan anything they have the answer available, this is nothing like assuming people can just tell exactly how much energy someone has without said energy coming from them like we've seen everytime.
The black hole may be. What about his non black hole attacks, though, like the beams he fires that were unable to harm Sirin? They're demonstrably weaker than solar system tier.
You mean the beams that didn't harm her because they were blocked? Being defended against proves they're not strong now? Does this mean Goku's attacks other than like, his Kamehameha don't scale to whatever his tier is because his opponent can typically defend against ot tank some? Because that's the exact same logic.
This is another weird leap in logic "Sirin blocks these and so they must be proof he's not this tier" especially when he was going to use his actual physical fist to hit her at one point, and it could have harmed her if he landed the hit, so it's not like only his black hole can harm her.
He also bothered to create an armoured hand to protect himself from a nuke that must be many orders of magnitude below his tier.
Yes, because this is a story and people sometimes have lower end feats, even if he were multi continental or whatever, he'd still be significantly stronger than this nuke and not need to defend against it logically, so is he like tier 7 then, is that what you're trying to say by bringing it up?
Or the nuke simply scales. This nuke thing is a low end outlier no matter if he's tier 4 or tier 6 like you want him to be, so it's irrelevant unless you're arguing for tier 7 Welt and only Sirin scaling to the nuke or something weird.
Benares was able to survive a hit from him long enough to fly to the moon. Judgement-class is well below Herrschers.
This also doesn’t really matter because she survived a hit from someone she's weaker than no matter their tier, this doesn't really help as evidence against the tier. Even if he were still tier 6 she's vastly weaker than him, and survived being torn open from the inside by him, she just survives a lot in the manga, and even then, her injuries were treated as a major thing to her.
To be entirely honest here, I've spent the past however long addressing every single point you made, including by using quotes or pages from the manga, and your response has been grasping at unsubstantiated alternate explanations or whatever low end outlier you can find to argue they can't be the tier, and switching them to something new when they're addressed. Considering you've already made it clear in discord prior that you just don't like them being 4-B, I don't see much reason to continue this, as it's been made pretty evident your response to quite literally anything shown is going to be to try and respond with something else to keep this going. You're not even attempting to convince me, and I'm not going to manage to convince you no matter what I show or say clearly.
People, including staff, have agreed with the thread already, Avenger also has expressed that he still agrees with it in spite of what's been said, I think that's enough to just move on at this point rather than sit here going in a circle
The only pages with a tier 1 rating currently are, to my knowledge
Will of the Honkai
Durandal
Murata Ryusuke
