First and foremost
In the future, I'd recommend saving each respective topic for their own Content Revision Thread, as condensing them all into one giant wall of text like this can make people reluctant to actually participate in the thread.
- I agree that the sea of Chaos Emeralds from Ish #35 were not included in the Great Harmony
- I agree that Power Rings should lose Power Null
- I'm neutral on whether or not Power Rings/Chaos Emeralds should be considered Standard equipment
- I agree that Mogul's Sixth Sense should be listed to Extrasensory Perception as opposed to Precognition
- I agree with Sonic's Type 3 Abstract Existence being removed, as that type no longer exists on Vs Battles
Now for the things I disagree with.
Naugus
"Sonic is shown in issue 223 to be unable to do anything to Naugus"
False. That very same scan shows Naugus using his hax to completely avoid being hit, and in no way means that Sonic can't harm him regularly. Elias also stating that he's "too powerful" doesn't necessarily equate to not scaling. Especially when Naugus
reacts with pai to Sonic hitting him in one of the very issues you use to help your argument.
Nearly all of your points are dependent on things stemming from Naugus' abilities and in no way equates to Naugus' physicality being so far above everyone else. This isn't even mentioning the fact that they can survive hits from him.
Additionally, it is
stated that he developed it into what it currently is from his bio, hence the creation feats. It even says it was a small bubble of space-time.
"His ability to manipulate the zone from the outside also does not truly show universal manipulation as, even while enhanced, he is unable to affect anything outside the zone while inside and is unable to leave the zone without outside assistance in issue 53."
This sounds like a disadvantage of the Zone rather than him having nothing. He doesn't have power drawn from the Zone itself from the outside either. One of the scans directly shows that never happened. So again, nothing ever says the zone naturally had crystalline properties, there is more against that via the fact it was just a space-time bubble originally if anything
Feist
This sca that you used proves nothing. Rouge being impressed in Omega's capabilities, and Omega himself gloats on how easy it was to harm it and how it was "only" one of his bombs shows this.
Mogul
"These are the only times an unenhanced Mogul has battled Sonic, therefore, issue 114 creates an inconsistency."
This is just a blatant lie.
The very scan you used states the Sword was ampimg his power.
Additionally, his feat in Issue 163 is not the same as his feat in Issue 114. The former was a raw omnidirectional blast, and the latter was more concentrated. So unless he can negate shields, it once again comes down to hax.
And the one where we was
toying with Naugus? They were both using weapons from the Source of All to amp themselves. So again, it shouldn't be used.
Al and Cal
The flooring that both Tails and Sonic were both standing on top of in the 3rd and 4th panel got fully enveloped by the blast in the 5th panel. Furthermore, this tiering is outright backed up because both survived the blast as per Al's own direct words and Sonic continued on to talk to Tails and recovered after said damage with Tails getting back up to stand and neither were knocked out state nor maimed. Accounting for surface area for the blast of what hit them both wouldn't matter here anyway considering the tier for the serious blast Cal made is low 2-C via Al being surprised they survived and they got hit by this tier of attack potency that cannot be accounted for by mathematics and rather only by concept regardless. Low 2-C tier stats via powerscaling from this durability feat stays because Mobian characters can physically harm them beyond and comparable to this instance and the duo are able to comparably harm those that harm them.
Additionally, the
collars seem to cut off
special abilities rather than weaken someone's physical strength. Which is why an alternate version of Geoffrey
taking down Al and Cal and Scourge
wailing on him also helps his case.
The Chaos Emeralds
Regardless of the methodology Feist used to combine them into seven, they should be more powerful than their Pre-Harmony counterparts. We don't need a statement that indicates them to be stronger Post-Harmony; throughout the entire series, combining multiple Chaos Emeralds has always resulted in more power than one Emerald.
Regarding Ian Flynn's statement, that can fall under Death of the Author. By his logic ("infinity + infinity = infinity") one Chaos Emerald would be as powerful as seven Chaos Emeralds, which is clearly untrue. Author statements that contradict what's shown in the series can indeed be dismissed.
The Sword of Acorns
Foneybone1 said:
There's no evidence Sonic could replicate feats performed by members of the House of Acorn or characters learned in magic such as Mogul.
Actually, in the official comic Encyclopedia, it states that
"even a novice could achieve master-level techniques with just the sword in hand". Even Dr. Eggman
Power Rings
The events of SSS15 were indeed retconned, but Nate Morgan still BFR'd Naugus in Ish #66. Nothing states he was using an enhanced Ring, either.
While I agree Rings should lose their Power Null, there's no reason they should lose their BFR.
Power Null Resistance
Foneybone1 said:
Locke alone was blocked from the emerald rather than everyone.
Naw.
It was outright stated that Sonic should not have been able to use the Master Emerald due to Finitevus' Hex, yet he does so anyway. Scourge being able to use the ME due to the Hex is either the result of inconsistent writing or he simply has Resistance has well, as he is a very similar version of Sonic.
Immortality
Sonic has Type 3 from
being noted to have advanced healing due to residual Ring energy. Not only that, but Sonic's aura is still ultimately said to
retain his life force. Not only that, but the profile already shows that he was
stated and
show to be successfully vaporized by Robotnik. And even then, he was only temporarily left in a
state of limbo until he had a reality/fiction adventure that led to
his retur.
Archie's multiverse is already stated to have
many possible futures that are
divergent. It's already established that distant futures are mere possibilities, just like Light Mobius and Dark Mobius are only potential futures from things that could have been. We don't use alternative Sonic's to gauge the capabilities of the main one, furthered homed by the fact that Prelates are made of
concentrated life force despite Sonic already being stated to retain his. It'll lead to a mess.
Also the Mephiles death thing should be ignored, basically. It literally just said "the events of the game happened in the comics and Solaris was successfully brought out". Mephiles killed Sonic because the game killed him, and is basically continuity. If we do that, then Sonic should equally have mind hax resistance because it's said Chronicles happened iirc.
Post-SGW Chaos
Chaos' ability to control the planet's oceans scales to the power of his hydrokinesis, which in turn scales to Sonic and co.
