One Punch Man Lifting Strength

Gatling Gun Upgrade​

The 114 kg M61 Vulcan has a recoil force of over 1,200 kg. This is Class 5 lifting strength. Death Gatling fires hundreds to thousands of rounds casually without any strain to his arms, so I think at least Class 5 is reasonable.

General​

The A- and B-class criminals in the Smelly Lid Prison can bend iron bars and turn house hold items into weaponry, with one A-class lifting a 2,400 lbs bull. With Death Gatling's feat in mind, this is highly consistent. Also, Tiger level threats have launched cars, and one of the less physical fighters super casually spun a gorilla-like monster by its nostrils with two fingers.

Going even further here, One-Shotter (portrayed as otherwise powerless against fodder monsters) can easily shoot his Barrett M95 at very high speed without being affected recoil. A slightly heavier and less powerful rifle has 97 foot-pounds of recoil, so that's impossible for your average person. But that's not for a rifle that can destroy sniper bullets and blow holes through fodder monsters.

So what's the suggestion here? Superhuman for the somewhat physical fighters of B-Class/the less physical A-Class, and Class 1-5 for the more physical B & A-class (eg. Heavy Tank Fundoshi). I'm not sure about someone like Mizuki specifically, but she can crush fodder monsters and was ranked higher than Needle Star (a former member of the Fubuki group, which further illustrates how consistent these kind of ratings are), who can control the trajectory of his weapon with concrete crushing force.

Edit: To clarify, someone like Blue Fire isn't a physical fighter, at all. He uses energy blasts.

Zombieman Upgrade​

Metal rods like the one Zombie Man bent are typically made of iron or steel. Even something like cast iron has a tensile strength in the Class 5 range per square centimetre, and carbon steel or alloy steel (655 mpa) is in the Class 10 range.

Considering the surface area of the human hand and the fact that he turned this bar into a pretzel, even Class 10 is pretty generous. Also, Zombie Man could block attacks from Pureblood when he was undamaged.

Cicada Nymph​

The Cicada Nymph was doing stuff like wrenching houses out of the ground by moving, even casually supporting the wrecks on its shell. It's also 35-metres long, while its more mature counterpart is 135-metres.

Tbh, I can't see two massive Demon levels that burst through buildings as physically weaker than Tiger levels that were curbstomped by Stinger.

Watchdog Man Upgrade​

This feat is severely underrated. Breaking the vertebrae in the neck alone can require between 450 and 572 kgf. That's not even accounting for its gigantic size, the chapter itself portraying the monster as relatively powerful (it's either outright Demon level, or large enough of a threat to be used as a sign that Watchdog Man is extraordinarily powerful), or the fact that Watchdog Man did this so effortlessly and with such speed that blood hasn't even fallen below the panel height.

Even without this, Watchdog Man is a physical brawler that effortlessly rips gigantic Tiger and Demon levels to pieces on a regular basis. He should at least scale above Sea Folk or Zombie Man, if not someone like Atomic Samurai's disciples, who we've only seen struggle massively against Demon levels. Considering that Pri-Pri-Prisoner, who surpassed Hammerhead with half his power, was one of the weakest S-Class before the MA arc, I think the latter is just as probable.

Metal Bat Downgrade​

Elder Centipede actually moved out of the way to stop Metal Bat from hitting his face. There's nothing in the chapter that suggests he stopped its momentum.

As for his lifting strength, he could counter Garou's attacks at a much higher level than what he used against SC and EC. I'm not sure what he should be rated as normally, but swinging a bat with enough speed and strength to crush mid-tier Demon levels would definitely require some amazing lifting strength.

I agree with all here

This I feel like unknown is probably the best option tbh
 
What about Hellfire and Gale ? Their Dragon Monster Form should scale higher than Demon level threats similar to what we currently do with other Dragons (They scale higher than DSK)
 
Not sure about them because the Ninjas aren't really portrayed as particularly heavy lifters.

I'd imagine the inertial mass of a sword would be massive at that speed, but that's rarely portrayed correctly in fiction.

Nyan and First Form Vaccine Man aren't either, none of them have any relevant LS feat, yet they receive the scaling from DSK

The ninjas should scale if that's the case
 
I agree with everything here, as well as Gale and Hellfire scaling above DSK.
 
Ok, seems there are no real disagreements so far. I'll just wait for a little staff input.
 
I'm fine with scaling Hellfire and Gale, but I don't entirely agree. They are clearly unbalanced fighters, who specialize in speed.
 
Still doesn't work. Images with static in their link or images from the fandom don't work on the forum
 
I'll link this, then.

Also, which suggestion are we using for Watchdog Man?
 
I guess use the value for breaking heads off? I think it was like Class K. We could scale him to human Garou
 
Someone should probably revise that spine pull rating in the future. Class K is actually for breaking every single vertebrae, not pulling out someone's spine.
 
I think upscaling above Garou is fine, but he doesn't really "overpower" Garou, more like overwhelm him. So I didn't bring it up.

Ripping off human heads is something like Class 1 for a human. Way too low for an S-Class.
 
Dunno if we are going to get something higher than Class K for that, and Garou's LS is already at that level

Scaling him to HH Garou should do the trick then
 
I'm waiting for more opinions on Watchdog Man scaling to Class K or Class M.
 
Because 2/3rds of the people already in the thread aren't saying anything on this specifically.

@DaReaperMan Which?

I'd say either make him something like "At least Class 1" or scale him above someone like Death Gatling with a likely rating if we're only using his solo feat.

If you want to scale him to PPP just use the the above with a "Likely Class M (PPP stated that he was the weakest of the S-Class, which would put WDM above him and Hammerhead's suit)" or something like that.

Likely Class M is fine by me
