Honestly hilarious how this isn't brought up more often to downplay Naruto because I swear even I could cross the distance between the nearest clone and Pain in 2 seconds
Which reminds of the FTL black clover
Here is something I said about it some time ago
in black clover as a general example as well the timers introduced by the author (example: chap 259) kills the LS speed scaling and treats it like a silly joke, for a LS speedster 50 seconds would be a literal eternity, and they very visibly don't cross any meaningful distance in that 50 seconds or the later 3 seconds where asta only managed to hold his sword and perform a single attack and the wiki has him as someone fast enough to statue light
No wonder a lot of people don't take powerscalers (well, nerds) seriously lmao
A calc being accepted doesn't mean it'll be applied, needs to pass a CRT first.
But I would actually prefer if TLOU just get upgraded to 9-A or even higher. With 9-B, there is still a plausibility clause, but being 9-A or 8-C is just straight up comedy.
The SMT outerverse bonanza is one of the funniest "wiki vs what they actually do in the games" examples.
On a semi-related note, this category made me think of the profiles for FFXIV, which are not only inaccurate to the cosmology of the series as revealed in Endwalker but seem to scale the characters based on how primals/summons appear in other FF games. Complete nonsense. 2-C WoL almost got neg diffed by a spiked cup of water.
Now that I think about it isn’t it crazy that Large Planet level Rook and Four Arms in Ben 10 get scared of and outright run away from a grenade? By jumping into a dumpster for protection.
or Class P Humungosaur visibly exerting effort to lift and throw a wooden house
Actually the whole Ben 10 series is an anti feat disaster
The dichotomy between dragon ball lifting feats and weighted clothing; Goku flipping over a 100+ ton piccolo only to have issues with 250 pound weighted clothing - for comparison, that's the equivalent of flipping a full grown man and struggling with clothes that weighs the same as a large chicken egg. For some reason Toriyama had them have issues with full body weights
In this cutscene, you meet a lady & her Machamp. A car crash hit her husband & Machamp, the former of which "sent Machamp back into its Poke Ball at the moment of the crash.". That lady further adds "It was a miracle that Machamp survived.".
I'm sure we all know Machamp's Pokedex entries. Or perhaps how its pre-evolution, Machoke is describe to have muscles that are as hard as steel.
& this same franchise, a generation later:
But what's worse is Generation 7, the generation of origin of that cemetary cutscene is also the one to introduce the RIDE PAGER!
(Vexingly, AFAIK, Ride Pager Machamp's LS isn't Calculated.)
Little suggests Hapu's grandmother's Machamp is exceptional, heck PL:A implies Ride Pokemon is something centuries old, & the dialogue indicates it's not an uncommon thing to do, especially in modern day Alola & yet....
Even lowballing because Machamp didn't push blocks underwear in S/M, that calc gets over 200,000 kg, which can be KG of force, which are 1 to 1 with Newtons, apparently.
So since Lifting Strength can be converted to force or Newtons.
Lifting Strength is defined as the mass that an individual can lift on Earth. In other words it measures the amount of upwards force a character can produce. As such pushing and pulling feats are also considered a part of this statistic, granted they are properly calculated to account for the...
Even assuming those are accurate, again, nothing about the Ride Pager Machamp suggests it's special, & besides the 1 arm moves mountains feat, the Ride Pager Machamp is using 2 to carry the player character instead of push the block, so it's quite casual.
200,000 is more than 80,000, & even low ends put Machamp at more than that! By the feats in your own game, arguably even the VERY SAME GAME THIS TRAVESTY OF A TRAGEDY IS FROM, it should survive a vehicle collision, let alone get so injured it becomes traumatized of a Poke Ball enough to fling its own far away!!
GameFreak, I know from reading your Pokedex entries that you are a bunch of nerds, how are you this freaking bad at math & logic for your own dang series?!
I played Moon back when this was new, back in like, 2016, when I hardly knew all of what little of the math & stuff I do know & even then I knew that scene was a bunch of stupid nonsense!!!
Stop shoehorning Machamp's line into stuff like they're just a strange variety of humans for pity's sakes! Good grief, GameFreak!
