Baki Strength CRT - ROUND 2

337
121
Recently, on Baki's thread #3, there was a lot of questioning about the legitimacy of Yujiro scaling to modern atomic weapons.
The problem with this scaling at tier 7 was that it caused a lot of inconsistencies, especially on the number of characters who clearly didn't have yujiro's level but were scaling to him somehow because they had faced someone who was comparable to someone who was comparable to someone who was comparable to Yujiro (you get the idea). And on the giant leap that the characters made in tiering because of that while they were OBVIOUSLY getting gradually stronger in the manga.

Since there were better arguments against this automatic scaling to tier 7, which until then had never been questioned (like the fact that the only people who said Yujiro could tank an atomic bomb are people who clearly don't know what they are talking about), it was decided to follow only the calculations that were already available to give Yujiro a tier. The most powerful of them all was this feat made by Baki, to which Yujiro upscaled, getting a 8-A instead of a Low 7-B.

So here are the changes I personally propose. I tried to respect the current tier distribution as much as possible, but there might be some mistakes, if you don't agree, let me know. ^^

I also made a list of how much some characters scale far away from yujiro, so we know which tiers to be careful with and which are the most accurate.

Legend :
Yujiro and comparable characters (Range 0)
Characters who scales from Yujiro and comparable characters (Range 1)
Characters who scales from range 1 characters (Range 2)

Characters who scales from range 2 characters (Range 3)
Characters who scales from range 3 characters (Range 4)
Characters who scales from range 4 characters (Range 5)

Reiho's page doesn't exist yet, I will create it right after his fight with Nomi is finished, but their boss said Reiho was the only one capable of throwing Kyogei, and being the Yokozuna, he's more likely to be the strongest anyway.

Not ok : -

This is fine however again I still don’t see why they can’t go back to 7-C. The earthquake feat itself was fine however it was because( kinda my fault) I tried to make it 7-B.
 
Let's remember that the earthquake was calced 6-C and 7-A for some time and could also be High 8-C if we consider magnitude 3 due to it not causing any destruction.
If you think that it's debatable, that's precisely the problem.

What truly bother me is that his earthquake could have been tiered below or above as well if we simply worked differently. Due to the earthquake power chart being very extended on the power scales, and the earthquake itself being vague to calculate. In doubt, we should stop considering it. Especially when half the cast downscales from him. Or else we'll probably never have a definitive scaling for god-tier and top-tier characters. And IMO that's a bigger problem than the tier of only Yujiro.

Can you link me the giga-punch feat so I know this is the one I'm thinking of? (And maybe see if I can calc it myself)
From memory I don't see it being way higher than 8-A anyway.

If I'm not mistaken, Baki characters were considered 6-C for a time here because of the scan of Oliva throwing Guevara on the ground so hard that the GPS systems of the planet stopped working, which was false.

Personally, this looks fine. I still think they are Low 7-B-ish, but I agree that 8-A is a much safer place for them to be.
 
The only issue I see is that a lot of the weaker characters really shouldn’t be scaling directly to the 8-B+ feat. That feat severely hurt SOO Baki. A lot of characters who are vastly below Baki should downscale to 8-B. Also SOO Base Baki should just be 8-B+ without the likely higher since like I said it severely hurt him.
 
Dou Doppo scales to Retsu so he should also be 8-B. Taketsurugi scales to Doppo in AP but could totally have 8-B+ in durability. Same goes for Honoo and Shachihoko. Both of them were completely unable to damage Baki or Hanayama but showcased incredible durability and endurance.

I also don’t see the reasoning for Katsumi to have 8-B+ on his base stats even with Retsu’s spirit. He’s never been able to reach that level aside from hitless blow. Dou Retsu deserves 8-B+ for his fight with Musashi but Katsumi only inherited Retsu’s skills and techniques, not his power. Shishimaru on the other hand might actually deserve 8-B+ since he was shown to be much physically stronger than Katsumi. And he’d defiantly have 8-B+ in durability without a doubt. Dude was a tank.

Everything aside from that looks spot on to me.

I agree with Amlad's ideas.
 
Nothing, I was just waiting for Sir_Ovens' input.
Isn't the approval of a staff member mandatory?
 
Yes it is. You might have to message the staff members directly rather than just mentioning them on this thread.
 
I did all the changes and added a note to Yujiro's page about the nuclear bomb and the earthquake to prevent another change due to these feats.

I would change the note about the earthquake. It’s more that we don’t know the value of it rather than it being an outlier
