Attack on Titan calculation

[RageComment]

I took a look at this calculation and it looks like there are several flaws with it

Attack on Titan: Colossus Titan Falls

Ok, and what are they?

 

[RageComment]

1) Titans are lighter than their frames would suggest. So just scaling up a human's mass is likely to give a false value.

2) The calculation says the Colossal Titan that falls on Reiner is partially formed missing its legs. But when the calculation is done the 16.7% value refers to only one leg it should be twice that.

3) The Colossal Titan's proportions wildly different from a normal human's. This may render using human body proportions moot entirely.

Yeaah Colossal titan has little bit different proportions. Skinny arms, massive legs etc.

@Therefir

What do you think?

 

[RageComment]

Relooking at everything there are other feats and calculations that justify everyone's tiers, so I don't think it would change anything.
I just saw the feat and thought it would be useful to have it either fixed or labeled invalid, assuming there isn't something I am missing that makes it valid.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. No problem.

You can ask @Therefir to modify his blog via his message wall.

The mass used is the canonically given mass of the colossus titan from the guidebook scaled down to account for the lack of limbs

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Then it should be fine.

Should I close this thread?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Eh I'd wait for Rage to respond in case anything else needs to be clarified

The guidebook is basically an entire physics manual regarding attack on titan, it gives explanations like the colossus titans being physiologically different from normal titans hence why they're heavy enough to make craters and shake the ground with their footsteps

 

[Cyberblader90]

by chance do you have the guidebook scan

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Not at the moment as I'm at work, I can post it when I get home

Although I'm not sure why this calculation in particular is an issue as it's a bit feat that the majority of the cast scales above

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for helping out.

 

[RageComment]

I was under the assumption they scaled the mass using Bertolt's mass and then adjusting for size.
If it is from a guidebook that's fine for the mass value.

But it is still incorrect because they only took off one leg instead of two.

 

[Therefir]

I corrected the calc taking into account the skinny arms and both legs, I hope it is fine now.

Covid got me so I wouldn't able to help much in the meantime.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you very much for the help. I really hope that you will make a full recovery soon.
