Just gonna vent a general thought I had about CSM in terms of scaling and what I like about it. First, I think the CSM revisions are pretty amazing: there's a lot more links, evidence, and proper scaling that allows me to make more sense of how certain characters scale to one another. I think there're still a few pages that haven't been properly updated: Barem's page is still outdated and doesn't properly reflect the current speed and AP that characters in his tier have.
Anyway, the thing I've really come to enjoy is that the series sets hard limits on tiers and how powerful characters need to be. With the Primal Fears, their speed and power make it practically impossible for anyone to win. Darkness Devil's debut showed us exactly how screwed the protagonists were with its overwhelming AP and speed which allowed it to cut off all their limbs. Then there's Pochita: when he was awakened the first time, he easily blitzes and overpowers all the hybrids, and with his second awakening, we see that none of the characters even have the time to react, with the only character who could getting decapitated a second later. Quanxi also shows this: managing to blitz and hack the heads off every slower character to show just how strong and fast she is. When I see the massive differences in speed with the Supersonic+ and High Hypersonic+, I don't go with the usual, "Hey, how is there such a big speed gap when those characters can fight relatively evenly with one another?" Here, I absolutely see how there can be such a big speed gap because Fujimoto made it abundantly clear that there are tiers: that you can't drop a character from Tier 4 into a fight with Tier 1 and expect the Tier 4 character to put up a decent show. The only mild exceptions I see here are Yoshida and Kishibe being High 8-C+ despite taking hits from Quanxi, who's 8-A. Still, even then, Yoshida makes it clear he's only getting scrapping hits and a single direct hit would kill him, and Quanxi most definitely held back against Kishibe due to their history.
Perhaps others here disagree or don't feel the way I do, but this is just one aspect of the series I find endearing. Even if I don't think CSM matches other great Shonen in terms of battle choreography or visuals, in terms of power-scaling, I think it's a lot cleaner than several of them.
