Reading through these first lines so far, I'm literally starting to be convinced that you've missed the point in what I was asking for your knowledgeable in the "possibly" mechanic. I mean sure, you strive for more logical numbers, but at the same time, you could literally just be saying the same thing for other characters even though they have much different context for why they're possibly higher than their most consistent showings.
I don't just strive for logical numbers, i strive for logical consistency. An character whose feats at most affect buildings shouldn't be jumping to shaking a spatial object.
And oh, considering the fact that you brought up stuff like shaking building, cities, country, or whole continents would have even lower earthquake values (literally even more than the whole Mercalli scale itself) than the whole moon itself as those have much much much weaker masses either way, what even is your point?
the point being that there are several logical steps between shaking a city a country a continent and the moon and despite that your characters have shown at most structural damage and their best feat is destroying a wave.
And also, like Griffin said in a few messages up, an outlier is only when a character actively struggles performing the tier 8 feats and somehow pulling out a tier 6 feat out of their asses out of nowhere.
Then that is a weird unwritten rule because the guidelines for the outlier are right there in the outlier page and one of them is whether the feat is a big jump from several consisten feats and is only ignored when the character has few feats, which isn't the case here because krypto has several tier 9 to 8 feats throghout the series as you've shown me before (idk why only 2 are calced) and 0 tier 7 and 6 feats which means it would fall perfectly with the guidelines since it's a massive jump in a verse where the best feat overall is tier 8 and the rest are lower tier 8s and 9s.
And so far, I have seen none of that being into question with these feats and saying this once again, IT'S. JUST. A. STATEMENT. POINT. BLANK. You don't necessarily need to have feats happening during a whole statement just for a requirement for the possibly mechanic, but then it has to make sense in it being more specific. And even then, nobody even touches the "destroying the world" statements either way as they could literally mean other things such as wiping out a whole city, country, or even surface wiping. And either then it's rather just a hyperbole most of the time-being. So that example has no bearing onto this topic whatsoever.
it does bear logic because of how vague both are but that is more tied to the next part
And no, we really don't at all. Why would Bull Dog just say something like that out of nowhere after what Mammoth Mutt was doing?
cause it is a pun? rocking something can be seen as basically a statement to cause ruckus as well i mean that's basically why people rock the house or the stage when they give a good and chaotic preformance. Also saying it is a point blank statement is bs it's vague as hell.
And Bull Dog wasn't even laughing at all what he said after that either,
doesn't matter, puns and wordplay are used constantly throughout speech without it being a joke that is meant to be funny.
and with that logic, I
suppose average astronauts can literally just dig holes through the moon itself with their own bare strength if that's even possible? Is that what I'm getting at here?
what the hell are you even talking about here? like cool they can dig with their own strength and we see that
them exerting strength doesn't suddenly cause massive continent spanning earthquakes while exerting strength on the city so clearly a dog bouncing around the moon ain't gonna cause a moon-spanning earthquake.
And yes he definitely was pulling his strength, did you even really pay attention to what's happening at all in the scan? He was literally just smashing the rock in small amounts piece by piece slowly.
doesn't really matter when he commented on the rocking the moon thing after the mutt just bounced around it.
And I do see that I really do mention these, what do you call these
two scenarios put together?
second one's useless, the first one i have no clue why you haven't calced yet, it's a massive feat that is most likely in tier 7 and higher range. Also Krypto does those feats, i see no evidence of others doing that.
And I have an even more question to ask you again, did you even pay attention to the
descriptions listed in the Mercalli scale? Because then again at the same time, if it was any lower, they wouldn't even feel the moon even shaking at all either way, and Bull Dog would have never even said that then.
they actually would. It's you who clearly failed to read: III: "Felt quite noticeably by people indoors, especially on upper floors of buildings: Many people do not recognize it as an earthquake. Standing vehicles may rock slightly. Vibrations are similar to the passing of a truck, with duration estimated."
IV: "Felt indoors by many, outdoors by few during the day: At night, some are awakened. Dishes, windows, and doors are disturbed; walls make cracking sounds. Sensations are like a heavy truck striking a building. Standing vehicles are rocked noticeably."
Some people outdoors may not sense it that well but
1. the characters here are superpowered dogs which by default means their senses are far greater than that of a human (animals deadass sense earthquakes even before they happen)
2. speaking from personal experience with several earthquakes, mag 3-4 is easily felt. mag 5 is VERY obvious to any human and beyond that it's basically near impossible not to notice.
Next up i would also like to say a few things.
Could you please tell me the logic as to why it is a warning specifically not to shake the moon in the first place? Who cares if they cause a moonquake, nobody's there anyways, literally doesn't matter. This leads to the following:
Him saying they need to collect rocks and not rock the moon is just a play on words but it's true meaning is him just saying that they need to stop fooling around and begin collecting rocks.
Overall: you've a better chance at scaling the massive earthquake feat you showed me to high tiers instead of arguing this foolishness any further.
