Because their pages are a mess.
All of them
All of this falls under optional equipment
Thanks to prismatic helms and other equipment, they can all get status immunity, so they gain resistance to the following:
Poison: Attacks weaken and accuracy decreases. Poison Manipulation
Sleep: Sleep Manipulation
Blind: Lowers hit rate of all physical attacks. Statistics Reduction
Stop: Time Stop
Slow: Time Manipulation in general with the former one, as the time cap prevents both statuses implying this is time manipulation
Lock: Unable to use Techniques. Power Nullification
Chaos: The character attacks an ally or enemy at random. Uh, not sure about this one. We don't have a page for "Confusion", don't we? Worst case scenario we consider it under limited mindhax
Then they get:
Statistics Amplification via sunglasses, because being cooler makes you stronger, too. Also via several helms and equipment that can boost your speed, defense, accuracy etc.
Absorption of elemental attacks thanks to the Mails
Information Analysis via Slight Scope (reveals enemy HP)
Berserk Mode via Berserker Ring
Also:
Acausality type 1 removal: Do I really need to say more? The game simply doesn't acknowledge the Butterfly effect, and the game constantly tries to find justifications for why certain things changed in the past don't affect the characters, like Lucca still being so scared to lose her mother that she decided to study technology even when you save her, for example. Only possible exception to this may be Magus as Janus wasn't sent to the Middle Ages.
Resurrection Removal: 0 hp means fainting in the game, not death. We see this several times, like in the Ocean Palace or against Dalton's Golem the first time you fight him. It should be replaced with Healing instead.
Crono
Weapon Mastery and Magic for obvious reasons
Air Manipulation with Air Slash
Marle
Specify her Status Effect Inducement as confusion.
It should be noted that Haste can override Slow's effects
Weapon Mastery and Magic
Lucca
Weapon Mastery and Energy Projection
Hacking for pretty much the whole future segment.
Sleep Manipulation for hypnowave
Frog
This is where the upgrades are something relevant.
Weather Manipulation and Electricity Manipulation Manipulation for the cutscene in which he cuts a mountain in half.
Masamune has Absorption for absorbing Lavos's energy from the Mammon machine, which is what transformed the Ruby Knife into the Masamune in the first place. It's also able to heal frog when he strikes the Mammon Machine, as it'a absorbing its power.
Statistics Reduction and can bypass Forcefield from his fight against Magus.
Robo
Inorganic Physiology for obvious reasons
Hacking for Geno Dome
Information Analysis for understanding that the whole "it has all of Earth's DNA" thing against Lavos. Also trying (and failing) to analyze Dream Devourer's power.
Ayla
Martial Arts I guess?
Also remove the part about the critical hits as that's gameplay mechanics
Magus
Absorption of Magic
I don't think there's anything else iirc
