Thank you, but this isn't something I plan on making a part of my life again. I've no worthwhile reason to return here permanently, and even if I did have a worthwhile reason, I still wouldn't. This isn't my home anymore.
On that note, you should probably stop including me in your mass-taggings...
There is no rule that suggests a person cannot give their opinion while presenting context in this thread, staff or not.
The point was not there in the first place, because the original post was not instigating. At most, there was a bit of snideness at the end. The bulk of the post, however...
Before anyone tries to stop me, recognize that I am a former admin/sysop of this website who was never demoted for misconduct, and that I still technically have a right to be here as retired staff.
I don't have anything to say about the link, but I will say that his original post was deleted...
This is going to be the last thing I say before I close this site and delete it from my bookmarks, so I want everyone to read it with as open a mind as you are capable of having.
It's less that I'm "willing" and more that I can't ignore one in favor of another. Frankly, the fact that there are...
I'm sure you already knew this was coming, and not just because I haven't been active on this site in a full month.
I returned, initially, because the site was starting to flounder and I felt strangely obligated to help keep it from spiraling out of control while the forum move was happening...
I'm not going to ruin this thread by going too deep into this line of conversation, because experience has taught me that it never ends well for anyone involved.
All I know is, if anyone can genuinely think that after the things that have happened on this site over the years, then the...
It really isn't once you've been around the block a while.
Look at every battleboarding community and how heated many of their arguments can get. Look at Death Battle and how many horrific comments, videos and even blogs they get in response whenever they put out a result that their fans don't...
Moreover, I want to know what evidence she has for having 'literally every passive in her verse' if she's never even fought before.
I also want an actual quote, scan, etc. that properly describes her NEP2, since it's not sourced on her profile and the justification for it comes off as...
Anyway, I've said all I feel like saying in this thread, so I'll be unfollowing now. The people here can take what I've said into consideration, or they can ignore it. Whichever choice they make is none of my concern at the end of the day.
Those are character endings. Endings which are not a part of the main story and, as is the case with Midway/NRS games, serve more as rewards for beating the arcade mode than actual, worthwhile sources.
The erased characters didn't magically reappear at the end of the story, so unless there's...
No need. The calcs are already being done. It's just going to take time. The calc group members do have other things besides this to deal with.
I trust that they'll be done soon enough. Just need to be patient.
I'm mostly just waiting on calcs at the moment. Once all of those are done, figuring out what ratings everyone is going to have should be much easier.
I really don't think that 5-A is staying, going by what's already been discussed in regards to that. As was said already, the scaling and...
To be fair (and I don't plan on saying much else, but I do want to point this out), this makes even less sense in context in that case.
Darkseid was imprisoned in the Netherrealm at the end of MKvDCU. Several characters (like Aquaman and Robin) were erased as per the very scan you posted...
These two details seem to be the most important. If the two spells have the specific properties of creating and dispersing storms rather than being extra applications of some other power, and there's no way to repurpose them into direct attacks, then I don't see why they would scale to...
That doesn't make the statement any less inane.
It also doesn't prevent me from subsequently pointing out that following up such an inane statement with "It would be stupid" and "this makes no sense", as if the inane statement suddenly reveals the futility of this conversation and everyone's...
You say that like every subsequent thread wouldn't be destined to devolve into that too if these attitudes were to keep up.
On the other hand, one thread means one place that can be referenced in the future if these revisions are called into question again. Several threads means there will be...
Unless there's more context than that, that's not how it's supposed to work. Environmental Destruction that hurts people is still Environmental Destruction. Being able to produce say, a tornado, doesn't necessarily mean your everyday attacks, spells, etc. carry the same amount of power as what...
Some are, but most aren't. Pretty much none of the ones in the Current Timeline are, and only the ones from the Original Timeline that are referenced in later games count for anything.
The non-canon ones don't work as "alternate possibilities/potential events that never happened" either, for...
More or less.
I should note though, Nightwolf belongs somewhere between 1 and 2. He's clearly a lot stronger than most of the characters going by various showings; he repeatedly holds his own against higher tiers (Sindel being an obvious example) while also beating low/mid tiers on a very...
Eh. Most of her fights with others in MK9 are player-driven, and as I said before, those can and should be ignored in regards to scaling unless the story gives a clear reason for why they play out the way they do.
On the other hand, Shao dying by her hand is retconned completely in Aftermath...
He shouldn't. Outside of the single battle where the player controls him, Kotal gets his ass kicked by Shao every time they fight. He does fairly minimal damage to Shao in those fights (he makes him bleed all of once, with a weapon that normally cleaves foes in half and/or does other, much...
This seems like a fairly empty boast, considering she ultimately needed Nightwolf's help to beat Cetrion and was clearly getting floored by her before Nightwolf started to intervene.
Let's not go in this direction, please. This thread is turning out to be controversial enough. The last thing it needs is to spiral off into a heated discussion about whether or not our recent system revisions were a good idea.
Which it will, if this particular line of argument is allowed to...
I've been un-retired for the last several months now. I came back around April or so.
Though, whether or not I plan on staying for much longer is not something I can say yet.
EDIT: You even saw the recent revision thread I posted. How are you only just now realizing that I'm back?
My argumentative prowess has become so great that people have started agreeing with my reasoning before I've even arrived.
It's all green grass from here, fellows.
I do. And I did.
This is, apparently, due to the Elder Gods being weakened during the events of MK11. I made a post touching on that earlier.
The only real snag this causes is in relation to higher-tier scaling; Fujin with the Soul Crown has upper limits that Cetrion doesn't (even when weakened), but is still...
This is talking about game mechanics, I believe. It's referring to the fact that gameplay tends to not show characters performing certain feats in-game, like Nightmare from Soul Calibur not just obliterating the stage with his every in-game strike.
Regardless of what it's referring to...
Don't some of the characters already have those on their pages?
Regardless, uh...probably? Again, it feels like a weird double standard to add combos and specials to a person's page when we're not using Fatalities for ratings, but if they're reasonable, it shouldn't be that big of an issue...
All the above implies is that she can't use her time powers to keep time stopped while she's using them on the Hourglass. It means nothing in regards to how long each recruitment takes; it's clear from the fact that time freezes around her whenever she appears before people that the act of...
Havik regenerates above due to being empowered by the Blood Code. Said healing factor is not something he is inherently capable of. The same is true of Reiko when Mileena smashes the side of his head with Shao Kahn's hammer.
We know from later issues that the Blood Code has its limits in this...
I doubt the Great Kung Lao can outright scale to Geras, given that the latter gets stronger every time he dies and has been sent to his death numerous times prior to the events of MK11.
Also, I should note that the aftermath of Sonya's battle with Geras is fairly ambiguous. Unlike most Story...
I am aware, but it applies to him more than most, since this is the case even if you throw out player-driven Story Mode battles.
The reason I say he should be stronger than most is because, for all of his bad showings, most of his appearances still suggest that he's lot stronger than people...
The same version of him that was impaled by a forklift is the one who was fighting (and at one point briefly wins against) Fujin and Shang Tsung in a cutscene after being shot through a pillar.
By the same token, the same Geras that caught Raiden in the middle of an attack is the one who was...
Geras is iffy, but I definitely believe he's not as on-par with Raiden & such as he's been hyped up to be. His amped self has a good showing of stopping one of Raiden's attacks and throwing him into a wall, but other than that, cutscenes show him being impaled by a forklift of all things as well...
We can probably start by converting the profiles we currently have into Current Timeline/NetherRealm canon profiles. We'll have to delete and/or replace the outdated information and images from them while doing so, but from there, we can make our other necessary changes much more easily. This...
