Alright so, Berserk's great, read the manga, there are some things that need work
Beginning of Golden Age and late golden age are two different things
Firstly, after watching the 97' anime, and then later reading the manga, it was pretty clear that they didn't exactly start 9-A
Griffith at the beginning of the Golden Age was able to deflect blows and generally easily outdo Guts. After 3 years though, Griffith had his sword oneshoted in a heartbeat as Guts kinda just went "meh" and walked away
While you could say that Guts just got more skilled, I have trouble believing that, considering that just after a year of going out to get stronger (note: refers to strength, not skill), Casca states that, indeed, he got stronger. It wouldn't be crazy to assume that Guts got more then skill under his belt when he was with the hawk. His training regiment consists of just swinging his sword over and over again anyways, not making extremely efficient movements or generally outdoing an opponent in a creative way. This becomes evident in the Griffith fight where he just borderline blitzed him and cleaved his sword in twane, rather then just outdoing Griffith deflecting his attacks
So where does this leave us?
As the title suggests, we should divide keys by the beginning and end of the Golden Age for Guts, where the first key is 9-B for easily cleaving through armor and such (along with whatever else I forgot about in that timeframe), and near the end where he fights Wylad and eventually takes him out, which would be 9-A*. Griffith would scale to the beginning of Golden age key at 9-B. As per speed, I dunno.
The Eclipse causes this badboi, we should probably talk about it. It doesn't look like it falls under standard storm calculations, but it's something we could calc as a tornado. As per if it scales to the godhand or is just a preptime feat, is something to be discussed in the comments
And that's like, all I have.

- Side note: It should be just 9-A, considering apostle Wylad was punting him around the place and he was perfectly even with his base form, and not all apostles are created equal, considering people like Zodd or the Skull Knight are dramatically stronger then others
