About Shovel Knight's tier...

[Otakuzoid]

So Shovel Knight's page says that he's island level for fighting on par with Kratos. However, I remember hearing that crossovers aren't accepted when it comes to power scaling. I heard about the crossover thing here. Any thoughts? Is what Fastword88 said true?

 

[Pikachu942]

I believe the creators of SK have stated themselves the crossovers are canon.

 

[Otakuzoid]

As in it's canon both ways?

(Like it's canon for both SK and GOW?)

 

[Pikachu942]

Well I don't think have control over GoW's canon, but they definitely said it's canon to SK.

 

[Otakuzoid]

I'm just thinking, if it isn't canon to GOW, then his island level power possibly wouldn't cross over the SK's Kratos unless stated or demonstrated otherwise?

 

[Otakuzoid]

Now that I think of it, assuming that that this is the same island level Kratos, IIRC all of Shovel Knight's other feats are usually building level. Wouldn't him defeating Kratos be considered an outlier due to it being inconcistent with SK previous feats?

(Please tell me if I'm wrong)

 

[Antvasima]

If it is a crossover it should probably not be counted, especially as we do not know how powerful this version of Kratos was.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

I think Antvasima's right. This sounds similar to this case where it was like with the KH characters fighting the FF ones. Like Sora was not only fighting against a different version of those like say Cloud and Sephiroth, we have no idea how powerful they were in the games.

Irrelevent point from what i said aside, if we can't count this feat of SK's due to being a crossover (that and Everlasting said this would count as cross-universe scaling, something that's most likely not accepted here like with the case of Marvel Vs Capcom), then Shovel Knight will have to be downgraded to what his verse's feats have shown him to do at. *shrugs*

 

[Antvasima]

Can you downgrade Shovel Knight Cross? I am busy with the daily backlog.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

If what Otakuzoid said about SK's feats being building level is true, sure.

 

[Antvasima]

Thanks. Can you update the other Shovel Knight characters as well please?
