    Featherine's tier questions.

    Sorry for having been living under a rock, but has High 1-A returned or is it still "fused" with Tier 0? Because if I recall correctly more than a year ago or so, it was decided that High 1-As would all automatically become part of Tier 0.

    Question concerning Tier 2-A: What constitutes or validates an infinite multiverse or a multiverse containing infinite timelines?

    Yeah and that is what frustrates me because if you take infinite universes to its literal conclusions, you will end up with endless configurations but some configurations would be contradictory to others. That being said, could you technically speaking have a multiverse containing infinite...

    Question concerning Tier 2-A: What constitutes or validates an infinite multiverse or a multiverse containing infinite timelines?

    Considering this inactive thread is still not 3 months old, I'd like to bump this topic because I am still uncertain about whether infinite universes necessarily implies or neccesitates there to be infinite possibilities and whether these infinite possibilities must mean that "like, yeah...

    Should Souls be default and also Medaka Box and Spirituality

    Following this thread because I am really curious how metaphysical or immaterial powers would work on a verse that is firmly grounded in materialism. Then again Medaka Box acknowledges and incorporates hax-based powers and has a creator or god-like being if I understand the nature of Ajimu...

    Question concerning Tier 2-A: What constitutes or validates an infinite multiverse or a multiverse containing infinite timelines?

    Something has been on my mind for a while and that is a question I have about what makes a verse possible 2-A material. A 2-A character is from my understanding one that has the power equal to or greater than infinite 4-D universes--or they're 5 dimensional beings or beyond. However, what...

    Eldergod Demonbane vs Reinhard Heydrich

    Can you elaborate why EGD has a Taikyoku of 10 at best when Taikyoku is a concept exclusive to the Masadaverse?

    Materialism applied to a fictional verse: how does it fair?

    But that's the only powerful verse that comes to your mind that has a materialist setting or undertone (matter > spirit or spirit doesn't triumph over matter)?

    Materialism applied to a fictional verse: how does it fair?

    > Materialism has been stated by word of god to be correct in Stellaris > Stellaris has soul manipulation and conceptual manipulation That seems really contradictory, though.

    Tier High 1-A vs. Tier 0 Poll

    So I hope the voting option worked for me because my browser is acting weird. Anyway, I am voting for Tier 0 if only to prevent all the current High 1-A and Tier 0 character profiles entering the melting pot of the "Tier 1 Categorization" since it's already difficult to find a mere High 1-A on...

    Sonic Infinite Speed Downgrade

    Chaos used the Chaos Emeralds to amp itself up to becoming Perfect Chaos and Mephilis used the Chaos Emeralds as a catalyist to merge with Iblis and becoming Solaris in the process. It'd be a stretch that Solaris is the only instance where they don't reap the benefits of using the Chaos Emeralds...

    Materialism applied to a fictional verse: how does it fair?

    So I've been noticing how a lot of hax-savvy or powerful verses revolve around incorporating platonic philosophy or ideas such as "Theory of Forms" and Jungian archetypes, and that's fine and all but I've been curious for a while how things would fair in a (hypothetical) verse dictated by...

    Red vs Ash

    That's because anime battles follow a different rule set when it comes to their battling, but I don't see Ash refrainig from using hold items or potions if those were allowed -- but they are implictly not allowed and hold items have never shown the same importace or property as they do in the...

    Red vs Ash

    If Red is allowed to use potions during battle, so is Ash and Ash has more experience dealing with surviving strong Pokémon attacks than Red has (even when that's not really reflected in his durability on VBW but throughout the show he has been struck by various Pokémon attacks yet lives on so...

    Red vs Ash

    Not only did Ash defeat Darkrai, but it's also important to highlight he defeated two Pokémon of a trainer that has thus far been undefeated throughout the entirety of Sinnoh since nobody managed to discover any other Pokémon beyond his first one, Darkrai, as nobody even managed to defeat his...

    Questioning Pokemon Scaling

    I'm pretty sure you cannot "hold back" a Hyper Beam though since it's supposed to be an all-out attack that renders the user immobile or fatigued for a certain time. And I am not sure we can dismiss that off as "Game Mechanics" since don't the anime and manga also portray Hyper Beam with a...

    NEXT TIME ON DEATH BATTLE

    That's an interesting point people make here. How come Sigma has NOT managed to hack/possess X and Axl so far? I get that Zero is resistant to it but how come X, Axl and their allies aren't being Maverick'd by Sigma? And if the Sigma virus can affect humans, how come Sigma hasn't used it to...

    Red vs Ash

    Ash because of the following: - Can perform extraordinary powerful Z-moves such as 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt with Pikachu. Ash's Pikachu has battle against several pseudo-legendaries and other powerful Pokémon (including a Mega Lucario and Mega Gyarados) even if we take his feats concerning...

    Pokémon: The High 6-C Re-Redowngrading

    ...when was that stated? Could you find it for me? I'm afraid not. I tried finding it because I swear I came acros an article that said something along that line but I cannot find it, so just ignore that part of what I was talking on about.

    Pokémon: The High 6-C Re-Redowngrading

    Then I suppose we've reached full circle then. I am going to miss the days of a systematised/standardised approach to Pokémon that aren't Ultras or Legendaries. And you know, them being Island level even though it makes sense that Mega Evolution Pokémon are near the power of a base legendary...

    Pokémon: The High 6-C Re-Redowngrading

    What about that "Charizard burns a mountain" feat from Mystery Dungeon though? I vaguely recall there being a VBW Thread that was about calcing the amount of energy Charizard would have exerted to melt a mountain in that game.

    Questioning Pokemon Scaling

    That's a shame, there should really be a profile for the Power Ra-, err... Kamen Rider-look a like Pokémon. Anyway, since we are all talking about Pokémon and what their actual durabilities and attack capabilities are... would it be weird to argue that all Non-Legendary and Non-Ultras share a...

    Pokémon: The High 6-C Re-Redowngrading

    This also elaborates on what is said in Ruby's Pokédex regarding Whiscash triggering "massive" earthquakes, and shows us that the "huge" in Dugtrio's Pokédex doesn't have to mean a Magnitude 8 quake (an earthquake so intense that it would be felt with clarity as far as 600 kilometers away from...

    NEXT TIME ON DEATH BATTLE

    To be fair, that was around a period where even VBW (VS Battle Wikia) decided that Dante was universe-tier and that Bayonetta instead needed to get kicked back to around Planet or Continent-tier IIRC. So not even "us" were completely certain (then again, things will always be subjected to...

    Massive Blaz Blue Revisions

    Will a similar thing be done to Guilty Gear considering its FTL calc comes from a "non-canonical finisher" that Jack-O Valentine? Like, my only problem with this post is how it states that because the feat comes from Makoto, especially a "non-canonical finisher", then it makes it very...

    Top Tier 1-A's and Archetypes

    I'm interested in the answer to this question as well. Also, how would a story go about defining this difference then. Would a story or a character have to say "This beyond-dimensional realm's 2nd layer makes the 1st layer a mere zero-dimensional space of futility by comparison" or something?

    Confirmation concerning Duma's AP (High 6-B tier placement)

    The problem I have is that I cannot find any (lore-based) statements outside of VBW. Other sources say that Mila and Duma stumbled upon Valentia. Like I said, the transcript you showed me still seems rather ambiguous because it can be reinterpreted in different ways. It does not clear-cut say...

    Confirmation concerning Duma's AP (High 6-B tier placement)

    While I checked out the transcript page, I could't find the actual text that mentions it was all but an ocean at the beginning. However, Celica does say at the end: "My heart is full of thanks for all you've given man, O divine Duma. Without yours and Mila's bounty, Valentia could never have...

    Confirmation concerning Duma's AP (High 6-B tier placement)

    Duma's article says that Duma was co-responsible for creating the continent of Valentia from the ground up. The Fire Emblem Wikia says something different: "Duma and Mila traversed the ocean for seven days before they finally reached the continent of Valentia, which they would claim as their new...

    Reinhard Heydrich vs The Star Maker

    Is that really the case? A while ago, I mentioned a similar thing but nobody really seemed to insist that was the case or not, so is it still up in the air or is it really stated out there that a Taikyoku value of say 90 is two times greater than a taikyoku value of 45 or rather a Taikyoku value...

    Demonbane Revision

    I vaguely recall Matthew going through the initial Demonbane VN to ascertain the feats and powerscaling that the VN embodies, so I didn't feel strongly compelled to read the VN for that sake but this thread gives me the impression that the more people read Demonbane material, the better it will...

    Kamen Rider General Discussion Thread

    Anyone looking forward to that Climax fighting game that's coming for the Switch?

Currently wondering whether I should just forego My Hero One's Justice and just wait for Climax...

    1-A Characters without Taikyoku (non-DI) on par if not better than 1-A Characters with Taikyoku (DI)

    Is this picture directly related to Umineko or just something in general? No, you're right but it is something I've seen being argued but in retrospect that's only being argued when people deliberately ignore dimensionless hierarchies and just focus on what kind of powers character A has...

    1-A Characters without Taikyoku (non-DI) on par if not better than 1-A Characters with Taikyoku (DI)

    I suppose it is not as complicated as I though it was but people really seem to harp on how Taikyoku is this sort of (literally) powerlevel thing that can not be compared to other 1-A works since Demonbane, for instance, doesn't work with any sort of powerlevel measurement it just has a mech...

    1-A Characters without Taikyoku (non-DI) on par if not better than 1-A Characters with Taikyoku (DI)

    I've read it but it details a lot of these layers as being subjected to dimensionality such as the Sea of Fragments and perhaps it's due to personal poor reading comprehension but I don't really see how the text states that the Sea of Oblivion itself is a dimensionless "space" or "realm" made...

    Yeah, pretty much. I thought there was some basis of truth to this nonetheless.

    1-A Characters without Taikyoku (non-DI) on par if not better than 1-A Characters with Taikyoku (DI)

    Interesting, so the Sea of Oblivion in Umineko is made out of an infinite hierarchies/layers? To be fair, wouldn't Hadou Gods only be capable of expanding their ability across existence if they weren't met by any opposition whatsover? Beatrice, Bernkastel and Featherine would most likely hinder...
