Bit of a problem with Scott Pilgrim

[DMUA]

So, everyone in Scott Pilgrim is Continental for being Comparible to Todd.

Except.... They really, really, aren't comparable to Todd.

Let's take a good look at our old friend, the Powerscaling page, right on Nonexamples of Viable Powerscaling.

Character A is City level, and Character B was able to survive attacks from or harm Character A. However Character A was holding back, restricting themselves, not putting their all into their attacks or was in a weakened state during the fight, then it is not safe to asses that Character B has City level AP or durability. As this would clearly indicate that the two do not have comparable power and that one is much superior to the other.

Hmm.... Sounds an awful lot like how Scott is scaled to Todd, when he was getting completely trashed by him while Todd was completely casual. He did make Todd bleed slightly, but that's likely WIS, or Writer Induced Stupidity, as it is extremely unlikely that the Writer knew that Todd was Several Thousands of times stronger than Scott, and you only need to be 5X stronger to one-shot someone.

So, in short, we really shouldn't bother with trying to scale Scott to Todd, and we should probably leave a note on the bottom relating to this.

Where does this leave the stats? I'm fairly certain there are several building level feats Scott scales to instead.

Also I should point out Scott only killed Todd afterwards because he lost his powers and became a normal human after the vegan police took his powers away

Yeah. They couldn't beat him in a straight up fight so they bypassed it.

1. Unless I'm mistaken, young Todd hadn't even gone to Vegan Academy yet when he punched a hole in the moon.

2. The thing that stopped Scott from actually hurting Todd was the fact that every time he tried, Todd would just ragdoll him with his psychic powers. Once those were disabled, Scott was able to take him down incredibly easily. The one time Scott actually did land a hit while Todd still had his powers, it visibly staggered and bloodied him.

3. Scott survived Todd's powers going out of control and destroying Honest Ed's all while standing right next to him. I find it extremely unlikely Scott would be able to do/survive all this if he was orders of magnitude below Todd, or that anyone after Todd (especially Gideon) would be even the slightest of threats, if this were the case.
