Well an S class hero is supposed to be = to a demon anyways.

S-Class is definitely and explicitly a different case, since they're explicitly for characters capable of defeating demons. On that we agree.

It just occurred to me that elder centipede is weaker than beefcake
anyways, genos was getting bodied by demon levels left and right, so yeah it’s incredibly not reliable for scaling

I'll tell you what, there are certain demons who can beat certain s-class level heroes but there's no s-class hero that's going to lose to a tiger level. Just because they can reliably beat demons (e.g. beat the statistical average) doesn't mean they can beat every single demon.
For example, PPP probably took down his fair share of demons before taking on DSK- even he could probably beat over 50% of demons when we consider how many cases are plausibly weaker than that ( base Baquma, Game Beerus, Scaleodon, the giant Crow, Demonic Fan, etc). There must be a reason that the weakest S-class hero's defeat at the hands of a demon was surprising

Estimated threat level dragon and only got ranked tiger
it just proves how unreliable every ranking system is

One of the issues with the rankings is that it "doesn't take into account matchup compatibility".
That was because he wasn't using his powers. He was deliberately holding back.

Genos actually had the advantage over deep sea king given he uses fire, but he got beaten up regardless
Even after his powers were revealed, he was given an inaccurate threat level
- 2,280

He was winning, even with 1 arm. He lost because he jumped in front of his acid attacks, which 1 shot him. (Which is what would happen, metals break down very quickly from acid.)
The narrator labels him Dragon. Also, would you believe an A class hero labelling some random monster they lost to as a dragon with no evidence in spite of the fact that some random hero annihilated it? Human error will almost always exist, all we need to prove is that a large majority of the time, HA threat level rankings are accurate.

The narrator labels him dragon
then in the same sentence, you proceed to say an A class hero did it with no evidence

Rereading the chapter, it looks pretty straightforward that the "estimated/suggested" threat level is Smile Man's estimation, based on his previous experiences seeing S-class heroes fight demon level monsters... if that's all there is to suggest Withered Sprout might be dragon I'd definitely pin him as a demon, maybe a low demon? Mid-demon, depending on his durability which could maybe be a little higher than expected.
Took him four tries to finally catch Smile Man who is a pretty middling a-class. I can't see Gums or Bakuzan or any other low dragons taking that long, or any high demons to be honest.

Two people can have the same opinion but with different levels of reliability.
The omiscient narrator notes they're dragon. Independently of that, the three A class heroes come to the same conclusion. They have the same idea, and they're both right, but the Smile Brothers don't have any actual reasoning behind it, beyond the fact that they lost, and therefore would not be believed by a rational being.

I mean the first shot wasn't aimed at him but his brother, and even then, it's a ranged attack, giving plenty of room to dodge.
- 4,388
- 3,347
If G5 had shot a ranged attack like an airblade or a ranged attack at Smile Man, he would have gotten destroyed, as would Sky King's beams and DSK's eel tongue, or Sonic's shurikens, etc. Many other demons would have been able to make the shot, most of whom are slower than the slowest dragon levels

Ok I’m planning on actually doing an OPM CRT, but I’d like opinions on it before doing so.
It involves Zombieman’s regeneration and upgrading it from High-Mid to Mid-High.
The reason is due to him being hit with HE’s Massive light ball which is stated to vaporize you if you get hit. And this is in line with Zombieman taking a while to regenerate after being hit.

An A-class scaling to a Demon Level or Genos makes no sense. Especially given that Genos was recognized as someone with exceptionally destructive power and that was one of the reasons he became an S-class right off the bat. It also creates a circular scaling. Zombieman is suggested to be the weakest S-class physically and it has been stated that it would take a long time for him to defeat DSK, meaning he should be inferior to him. But the current scaling chain puts him above DSK. Besides that, the scaling reason is Grizzly Nyah giving Genos trouble but Genos would have trouble going all out inside a city, with heroes being nearby to boot, to begin with. Not to mention, he doesn't even have a scratch by the end of chapter. They shouldn't scale at all

Why wouldn't it make sense? A Class Heroes can still take down Demon Level threats but require cooperation iwith other heroes to do so while S Class Heroes can do it on their own.
However you put it Grizzly Nyah survived an initial encounter with Post-DSK Genos so at the very least durability wise it scales to Genos
Also Zombieman would still scale below DSK since his wet form is implied to be much stronger than his Dry Form, only reason Wet DSK doesn't have a higher AP value is because he doesn't have a feat that could be calced.

It takes 10 A-class heroes on avarage. And I also said why it is especially bad idea to scale to Genos who is known for his firepower.
Do you have an evidence that Genos was going all out? All he said was that the monster was thougher than he expected. He was most likely not going all out FRA. The monster was fried with no sign of struggle by the end of the chapter to boot
Zombieman scales to post DSK Genos though. And even during their initial counter, Genos was capable of damaging Wet DSK.
The bonus chapter itself is almost as ancient as the statement

This is a random ass question, but why does it say on Resurrected Phoenix Man's profile "as a Dragon level threat, he should be superior to Beefcake"? I thought Beefcake's official rating was also Dragon... and isn't the general consensus amongst the OPM community that Beefcake is one of the stronger Dragons?

That scaling was deemed invalid, profiles are still under revision.
