Bull Shark Revision

[Podonklos]

Hi. While reading this profile I saw that part of its justification was that it was capable of "scaring away bull sharks". Checking its profile, I found this justification for a Wall Class ranking:

"(Possesses a powerful bite force that can reach up to 6,000 N)"

While the sources appear reliable, this is not Wall Class.

If you remember, the formula to calculate work is W = Fd. In order for a bull shark to achieve the minimum energy necessary for a Wall Class ranking (15,000 Joules) it would need to exert those 6000 Newtons of force over a distance of 2.5 meters. Considering that a bull shark's entire body does not even match this length, this is impossible. Their mouths are simply too small to exert this amount of energy in a bite. More realistically, the amount of energy in a bull shark's bite is likely on the lower border of Street Class.

Could someone change this ranking me? It might also be necessary to change the Old Hitler profile, since it scales from bull sharks.

Old Hitler is probably the weirdest name for a shark...

I agree with the changes. I feel like a few of our animal profiles are slightly exaggerated in general.

 

[Podonklos]

Does anyone else need to agree to this or this thread? Or should this fine for both of them.

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

This is probably an uncontroversial change, but the Baseball Bat/Sledgehammer one might be a bit complicated, since I believe there are a few characters who are scaled to the maximum level of those weapons. They would also have to be downgraded.

 

[Podonklos]

Who could I ask for extra input on the sledgehammer thread?

We can't simply multiply force per distance to obtain energy, so it wouldn't been 15000 J either way; I guess that by default I "agree" with the change.

We can't simply multiply force per distance to obtain energy
Mind explaining this? I don't disagree, I'm just curious.

 

[Antoniofer]

What you would obtain its work, stuff like pushing a large boulder across several meters would considerable elevated works, but requiered force to move it is considerable lower. That would be an example, but from old times we aren't allowed to do that (I think is written in the AP page, or another one, don't remember).

 

[Podonklos]

Gotcha, that makes sense.
