Can lifting strength bypass durability?

3,303

Character A is only Town level but has Class T lifting strength. Character B has Island level durability but only Class 100 lifting strength. They are humanoid.

Assuming B provides no resistance against A, can A rip off the limbs of B with far superior lifting strength?
 
what if the opponent has 4-A durability but average human lifting strength while the other has 4-C AP but Galactic lifting strength?
If the 4-A dura guy has no 4-A AP, 4-C incapacitates and wins, potentially an LS stomp.

If the 4-A dura guy has 4-A AP as well, anything the 4-A character does, even so much as breathes, and that LS gap is irrelevant and the 4-C character is turned to dust.

Though a character being 4-C and having Galactic LS seems quite weird. Usually they'd have to bear the weight of being crushed by one which'd be far, far higher than just typical 4-C.
 
What about squeezing like how snakes do?

If one character, High 6-A has Average Human LS gets squeezed by another character, 7-C has Stellar LS, would they feel pain? Would the pressure harm their organs?

I don't think they'd be 7-C if they had Stellar LS, especially if they had the power to squeeze stars and whatnot, this might be approaching some extremely weird examples.

7-C is an overexaggeration, but if the character has lower AP and Dua, but vastly greater LS
 
I think a less weird example would be something like
If a baseline 8-B with Class M lifting strength puts a baseline 8-A with Class 100 lifting strength in a rear naked choke, would the 8-B be able to render the 8-A unconscious? Or if they were to put the 8-A in an armbar or Kimura lock, could they damage their joints?

I know a tier 9 with galactic LS lol
 
What about gravity manipulation. Shouldn’t a large LS gap cause organ failure since the gravity also affects their internal structure.

Maybe. Although, if we go that route we should probably consider the immense g-force a character endures if it, say, nigh-instantly accelerates to supersonic speed. The way fictional characters tend to do. (And it depends on how evenly gravity is applied, in addition to the brute strength)

If the AP gap is comparable but the lifting is notably superior then any grapple submission or bone break should work with ease.
Not sure if I would say breaking bones would be easier via grapple than via regular attacks, though.

What grappling is concerned one should also consider that as long as LS > body weight, it can be pretty hard to keep someone down with a grapple even if you have superior LS. And, of course, while you hold someone, they can attack with AP to just kill you before they lose due to submission. Just mentioning it, because people sometimes forget that.
