An actual Aincrad CRT because Mark won't stop complaining

[CurrySenpai]

A rehash of an old CRT, ironically the first CRT I participated in, but the premise is very simple.

An Incarnation of the Radius' AP is 8-B+ from one of their attacks, but everyone else who scales from this event does not have the + and instead scales to another calc.

I don't know why this is the case but the old arguments were that they didn't do enough damage or got one shot by the bosses attacks but we know this to not be the case.



This is the fight, and I will agree that BEFORE everyone had gotten their SEED/SAO data they were getting stomped, but it's important to remember that after Agil, Silica, Kirito, Asuna, Silica and Lisbeth they are then portrayed as overwhelmingly winning, with those 6 dealing the most damage (and this is visually shown as well).

Another thing to remember is that their account data is linked to the SEED, and that progresses carries over between games. The main cast has been levelling up their accounts in many games, so for them to be powerful enough to contend with the final boss? Yeah that makes sense.

Also after everyone gets their data there's like 0 oneshotting occurring, so I really wonder where that came from lol.

TL;DR give the plus to the Floor 100 Keys of the Aincrad Characters.

Also this fight is heavily condensed for copy right reasons so go pirate it or something.

Sinon was very close to one-shot, the rest of them still had to dogpile the thing to just get through its shields and then start doling out damage, which doesn't really suggest they each individually have that comparable of a footing

At least I remember as such from the full product

I'm rewatching the scene, and I'm not really seeing any of this. Once everyone gets their account data, Sinon doesn't get hit after the fact, and the shields are also just completely absent, all damage dealt to the boss is by the main 6 with everyone just giving off supportive fire with Magic or Guns.

The others involved in the fight shouldn't scale, but the main 6 who actually had their account data and were art of dealing the main big melee damage? They should definitely get it/

 

[DMUA]

The fact it's a raid boss, and one that's actually treated as such from needing a ton of different dudes piling on damage (Rather than one guy rushing it down like we see with Kirito) makes me less inclined to do it but

ok

I think our current ratings are fiiine? Because I always assumed they were just like, around half of 8-B+, which is still 8-B. It's not one shot territory, and even though they did big melee damage after getting their account data back, it was still all together, like it still took a loooot of hits, which could still be done with half of 8-B+.

I think instead we should specify in the profiles that even though they're 8-B, they're still not far behind from 8-B+, as they can still do significant damage... at least after getting their account data back because what is this lol

Wouldn't an "At most 8-B+" rating fit for situations like these?

 

[CurrySenpai]

I disagree, we don’t really see the health at afterwards anyways, and I’m p sure Healthbars stacked that big are just how bosses are commonly potrayed in SAO lol.

Honestly- yeah, huh

It would, I’m fine with that.

At most is fine with me
