Are Energy Blasts Counted as Striking Strength?

[Lightbuster30]

Basically, if you are 7-A via an energy blast, would you get 7-A striking strength ia the energy blast? Or does it only count if you can physically punch that hard? No verse specifically, just a thought that crossed my mind.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

If we slapped all kinds of AP as "striking strength", there'd be no point to it. It's purely for physical strikes.

 

[AguilaR101]

Assume character A has tier 7 energy blasts

Character A shoots character B with a enrgy blast

Character B is only bruised by the blast

Now Character A walks up to Character B and punches him in the stomach

Character B gets the wind punched out of him and is visibly hurt

Since Character A demonstrably did more damage with his punches against someone who endured a tier 7 blast, his striking strength directly scales to tier 7 as well.

 

[Kaltias]

Striking strength is how hard you can punch/kick someone.

If you can fire 7-A energy blasts, your punches need a reason to scale to be as strong as the blast

 

[Akreious]

What Kal said.

If I can generate fireballs in real life that can blow up cars, my striking strength would still be normal human levels since I can't punch with that amount of force behind it.

If I had Ki instead and learned to completely harness it, if I can blow up a building with a casual Ki blast, and since the same energy is used to amp my physical attacks, my striking strength would also be Building Level.

 

[ShadowWarrior1999]

The answer is no.

 

[Choc64]

Unless you're a Dragon Ball character where Ki is dependent on the physical body. Otherwise no

 

[Andytrenom]

In general no. Attacks that don't come from you physical strength don't count as striking strength, for obvious reasons.
