Yes, aka, not based on what they are.based on how feared they are
So? That means quite literally nothing in regard to how strong the Nuke Devil might be.actual nukes are not limited to 50 megaton ranges.
And Devils can be both stronger, or weaker, than what they embody.we dont because IRL nukes meet that criteria.
And as you just said, based on fear.
Honestly, you seem to be trying to have your cake and eat it too, you keep arguing Nuke Devil doesn't need to conform to nukes, but then say things like irl nukes so it is.
And this is a complete strawman.its a non sequitur, the gun devil being a planet buster in this case would not change it either, he has his own calc, the point was that it was stupid to suddenly create an inconsistency by attributing that the COLLECTIVE FEAR of Nuclear weapons was attributed to a single nuke and thus it was impossible for the the nuke devil to scale above. you could have just said the devils strenght is proportional to their collective fear as oppose to their literal embodiment and called it a day.
Who said anything about it being a single specific nuke? Because I definitely didn't. Is it because I said using the strongest potential nuke ain't it? Well, yeah, we don't have enough info, it could be a fucktillion times stronger, or weaker, no idea.
Fact of the matter is, like it or not, we have no idea how strong the nuke devil is. And even if we did, it wouldn't affect whether or not Gun Devil's "feat" (because his actual feat ain't 7-B mind you), is legitimate or not.
Though I will say, no, that whole hypothetical nuke shit we don't do, we need actual statements, we don't just run with the most generous high-end possible unless we have good reason to, we don't here, in fact we don't know much of anything about it.
Though, I'm just now realizing you're going off on me, because I replied to an argument doing that
Vehemently disagree.Guns are definitely not more feared than Nukes, Guns while deadly are used for a variety of purposes outside of just killing people, often recreational like practice ranges,hunting ect. they are also used as a form of protection either enforced by the law or an individual in places where its allowed. guns are often feared in the here and now when its right in your face. we havent had nuclear bomb drop on a populace since world war 2 and the height of its fear was nearly 4 decades later, policies are made and constantly maintained because of those fears.
You said yourself below, the world ain't america, just because guns can be used for such things, doesn't change the fact that guns are predominately weapons used for killing that everyone fully grasps the concept of, are far more commonplace and likely to be encountered, and as such a much more common actual substantiated fear.
Those very regulations and why they haven't been used is also why I would argue guns are a more common fear than nukes, it's been so long and the actual risk and likelihood of them being used is so low, that it's barely even a blip on the general populace's radar, which kinda matters when talking about the collective fear embodying conceptual demon, it's precisely why Darkness and Falling Devil are top dogs.
You mention 4 decades later, but yeah, because there was an actual nuclear threat and paranoia at the time, I don't feel like I need to give you a history lesson?
You're right, as above, guns are definitely feared far more elsewhere where there are actual wars going on and mass shootings.the world isnt america.
Yeah, usually by knife or gunpoint? Don't be semantic, you know full well what I'm saying.I dont walk down a bad street because i fear i might be robbed or killed, not because i specifically think someone will pull out a desert eagle .
Precisely, and I am arguing, based on what we know, we have no reason to assume the Nuke Devil is stronger than the Gun Devil.based on what?, to steelman this we, the car devil could be an end game villain for all we know but i digress, if people dont fear those things as much then the gun devil would obviously be stronger.
Like, it could be? Or it might not be? We do not know, Nuke Devil shouldn't have even been brought up, it's too vague to work with.
We simply do not have enough info to make that claim. We just know it existed. And ultimately, doesn't effect the GD feat anyway, like I said about a page ago.
By my criteria? My criteria is "devils can be both stronger, or weaker, than what they embody" and "we do not know how strong the nuke devil is, or when pochita killed it, so it being like 100-1000mt or whatever, we can't actually say".Its irrelevant , because the actual value of one specific nuke doesnt matter, the point that your missing is that a collective fear of something isnt bound by 1 specific nuke, in the same way the fear of falling isnt bound by falling off 10 meters or falling from space down to orbit. the fear of something itself is what matters. also to steelman this, a collective fear would account for every nuke detonated by your criteria.
And no, why would my criteria account for every nuke? In what world do you get that from anything I've said? Where's my 7-C Bucky because he's the embodiment of every chicken ever feared? Demonstrably not my criteria lad.
I'm not sure why you're continuously strawmanning me.
Yes, and because of this, I'd argue nukes, aren't as feared as guns. Nukes might be above guns (duh), but what matters is what's actually feared more given how Devils work.the hypothetical is whats feared about nukes largely, because the amount of people that have experienced a Nuke in their day to day is very very very small (obviously) often being shared by the populace that were specifically targeted, their Living relatives and Military officials who were part or witnessed the detonation test.
the entire existence of laws and prevention of nuclear warfare is entirely based on a Hypothetical of mutual destruction and global annihilation, fear of nukes are predicated on assumptions for obvious reasons, because unlike a Gun, nukes dont normally let you do easy do overs.
You said it yourself, falling like 10m and darkness aren't as deadly as the actual devils that embody those things, because those concepts are feared more regardless. This is bad, because a weaker thing can be above the inherently stronger thing, opening up the Gun Devil and Nuke Devil's relativity being completely unknown.
You act as if these rules' existence means nukes are feared generally, yeah, they were, this caused the formation of these laws, but time passed, obviously we still have these laws, why wouldn't we? But it isn't like 60s. Most people don't even think about them.
Yes and? Chickens are also well and above whatever Bucky was, and there's breeds that would mutilate even the strongest human, and the collective fear of them?chickens are a common farm animals domesticated for quite literally thousands of years.
Devils do not adhere to what they embody, strictly. We need more info.
Unless we've actively made one and such a thing is encompassed and embodied by the fear of the Nuke Devil, which, we absolutely can't say, yes, in context, that's all it is.a 100 megaton nuke existing isnt hypothetical but okay pop off
False equivalence. I'm not even sure how to reply to this except, stop?i guess we should get rid of 80% of our standards given you cant prove them in a controlled enviroment.
Its easy to debate a person made of straw
Nonsense? I stand by it, don't strip away the context of what I was replying to, that's an actual Grade A strawman, ironically enough.then maybe explain why its sus outside of nonsense like
"But that doesn't actually tackle the issue, by this logic, a Nuke Devil would be stronger than a Gun Devil, so why is a Gun Devil, merely moving, above the absolute highest nukes ever used? This doesn't support the KE, it discredits if anything."
I was replying to someone who said nukes can go up to 100mt, so Pochita beating it would be 100mt, and the Nuke Devil should be > Gun Devil so it's consistent.
As such, I replied by this logic, the Gun Devil's mere movement being above the strongest nukes ever deployed, when in this argument, the Nuke Devil is being argued as nuke level and yet above Gun Devil, doesn't make sense if nuke devil is stronger with nukes as the benchmark.
But yes sure, go on.
No it's more like it's bordering on breaking KE, disproportionate destruction literally thousands of times less than what should be depicted, not actually corroborated by anything, and yes, 16,000 is, in fact, a large jump without solid evidence. None of this is incredulity, it's called basic wiki standards, making sure it's solid first if this upgrade is going to serve as the basis for the ratings?"I'm not so sure, I don't wanna call it an outlier, but more like, is calcing this and treating it like an actual feat even the right call?"
all this comes off as as an appeal to Incredulity solely based on huur durr 16 000x is a big number Impossbiru
So yes, I'm not so sure calcing a KE feat for a character moving getting 5 digits above what the very movement being calced shows, let alone any other onscreen feat at the time, is the right call.
And I would appreciate it if you could hold a conversation without your demeaning tone, you know better than that.
Would also appreciate if you didn't try and paint me as "big number = bad" like you're evidently attempting to do. I couldn't care less if they get a huge jump, in fact, I've noted a few times that the High 6-A gravity feat would, unironically, lack the problems this "feat" has, and I'd be completely fine with it even.
So I'd ask you to refrain from further arguments like that.
Of course, no problem with that. I said that, multiple times. In a vacuum it'd be completely fine, first thing I said even.we have objectively and broadly on a consistent bases have characters and verses jump entire tiers with a single feat, in fact a single feat sometimes is the linchpin for an entire verses scaling , and oftens by gaps of cosmological differences. the numerical gap isnt itself nearly enough just to say "outlier" its stuff like
This isn't a vacuum, it's numerous small things including the very feat in question being suspect.
Let me reiterate,
- Kinetic Energy based on Movement Speed is case by case: Fiction often treats the speed with which a character can move himself as unrelated to their attack power. As such feats like just running or carrying a small object, like another character, should only be used if the fiction has made clear that the speed of the movement correlates to the character's power or if the character uses the fast moving object to attack. Calculating the energy necessary for moving large structures at great speeds, using the speed things move as a secondary effect of an attack, throwing objects at great speeds etc. are all acceptable methods of quantifying a characters power regardless.
- The calculated kinetic energy value is heavily inconsistent with the rest of the cast in the series. EX: Quicksilver's calculated speed cannot be used to derive kinetic energy as it heavily contradicts his established power levels.
- There is a destruction/AP calculation contradicting a kinetic energy calculation. The destruction/AP calculation would take priority over the kinetic energy calculation in this case as the AP calculation would be a better proof in regards to how much damage he/she is capable of in an attack.
The calculated value is 16,000x above the next highest calc, despite your claims this is somehow an argument from incredulity, as established, a feat being high doesn't automatically discredit it, but in his case the "Feat" in question is a character's KE via movement speed, disproportionately above everything else we can confirm, like it or not, KE feats are bit wacky if there's no corroborative feats, being higher ain't bad but magnitudes? Eh. Not an issue by itself, but combined, idk lad.
And lastly 3rd, the actual destruction caused by Gun Devil's movement, is tens of thousands of times below its calced KE, which is a major problem. Sure KE and destruction being 1:1 is asking too much, but the calc dictates Gun Devil's movement is quite literally nuke level.
The actual destruction his movement showcases, is magnitudes less, unapologetically so, the moment he grazes a building, the building shouldn't be fragmented, it should be all but vaporized, along with everything around it.
These 3 issues combined, makes even calcing this feat, suspect, at least in my opinion, feels like too many small red flags.
The existence of a nuke devil we dont know how powerful it is, or High 6-A grav, or anything else, doesn't actually help this case. So not sure why we're even arguing about him.
This is a whole lot of nothing and not actually arguing the issue.
- Notable consistent anti feats
- Premise breaking or narrative breaking
- is there a context that changes why it may or may not scale
as per our own standards
"If a character with several city destruction feats is shown to be able to destroy a mountain, we cannot necessarily consider it as an outlier, for the reason that the jump between tiers is not extreme enough to be so, despite the jump between energy values we attribute to them. If the character has very few feats, we can likely ignore this point. "
In fact,
"That would be ok if there was a good reason, a feat being very high doesn't discredit it automatically, like something to explain the gap jump or it having zero anti-feats or ones that can be handwaved, " - Me like 5 days ago.
Why are you repeating things I said myself, to me, as if that's even remotely the crux of the issue?
That's all you've been doing though? Most of which I feel is you grossly misunderstanding what I'm even saying as me hating big number or cutting in with me replying to someone's else argumentobviously if your issues encompass all of these and you have evidence or you as a calc member actually sees legitmate issue with the calc itself, then sure by all means, I wont argue with you.
