Can lifting strength bypass durability?

No, it wouldn't bypass durability; although pinning them till they're basically incapacitated would still be helpful in battle.

Ah, I was about to make another thread but I found this.
What if the AP gap is comparable?

If the AP gap is comparable but the lifting is notably superior then any grapple submission or bone break should work with ease.
It would be like fighting a version of yourself but made entirely out of wet paper or popsicle sticks.

Wow, that example actually made perfect sense to me. Thank You.

what if the opponent has 4-A durability but average human lifting strength while the other has 4-C AP but Galactic lifting strength?

Pretty much this.

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.

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.

That's what haxes would do.

7-C is an overexaggeration, but if the character has lower AP and Dua, but vastly greater LS

- 37,879
Then they could just incap for 24 hours and call it a day.

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

The Galaxy Class weight of the object must have abysmally low height to the point of GPE being that low for that to be possible.

What about gravity manipulation. Shouldn’t a large LS gap cause organ failure since the gravity also affects their internal structure.
- 29,905

Gravity manipulation can negate durability yes as it has other features beyond pure pressure/force.
- 10,499

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)
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.
