Difference between Vs Battles and other vs sites

I'm too lazy to actually find other sites like this. I can't answer this question.

Comicvine hurts my eyes when I try to read the forums. I hate how everything looks clogged up together.
 
Vsb is too kind for the ranting of some page and abilities imo (if we ignore all other sites who overpower characters without any sense).
 
Admittedly, I can kind of see where a lot of the confusion comes from. Character's statistics on this wiki are often in very stark contrast with how they are depicted in their medium. Hearing things like, I dunno, Akechi from P5 stomping Saitama genuinely sounds pretty ridiculous. So I can understand why most other Vs Debating sites would be dubious about the VBW.
 
Apart from this site I've only ever browsed comicvine, so my experience may be limited in that regard, but I think we are a lot more concerned with calculations and piecing together different elements of a story than other sites. Not to mention we are an indexing site first and foremost, which means we have an agreed upon idea of a character's strength and abilities before going into debate, and that's not at all the case for a typical battleboard, in their case the specs of the characters would itself be a topic of contention and that's probably a big part of what makes us distinct
 
Comicvine doesn't really say good things about this place while in spacebattles you aren't really allowed to create a thread about other vs sites.
 
I like the fact that this site has a profile for all of the characters and lists their abilities, it prevents some people from wanking their favorites. The profiles and tiering sometimes creates some funny matchups like Sephiroth vs Spider-Man, Mami vs Shedninja, or Sandy vs Frank west.
 
Tbf we aren't the only site who uses calcs, spacebattles and the OBD do as well.

I think a big thing is how debating statistics isn't supposed to be part of the vs debate. In all honesty I don't really like that too much, but it is what it is. Then there's just standard stuff you get from disagreeing with other sites
 
The difference between this site and lets say, Comicvine, is that we are more lineal and when it comes to statistics.

Here we rely on power levels straighforward catergorized by a selfmade tiering system, everyone goes with what the profiles states unless disscusions downgrades, upgrades, removals and additions are made.

There such rect tiering system doesn't exist; Everyone goes by their assumptions (Some people believe Superman/Goku X level, some of them think their are + level). And so things can get messy.
 
Yeah, I only browse Comicvines and OBD but I think the former has lot more shit flying around than us. I mean, there are people that are salty but not as much and it's given to any VS sites.
 
But more on point, I think the biggest difference is we actually have profiles for characters. Most vs sites have the discussion about where both characters stand in relation to each other as part of the debate, whereas here, you just go straight to the profiles to see who is stronger than who.
 
Can't compare with other sites, but the special thing with this site is that is simplistic:if new users want to enter in a discussion involving a character they doesn't known, a simply rundown through its profile will makes them known about the character, at least, known enough to discuss according to the wiki's standards.

If wants a more deep analysis such DB, Respect Threads are better, if they are complete, the pages possesses enough to discuss about the character: body measures, specie, feats, anti-feats, and without calcs, people would reach a more objective conclusion.
 
Facebook imo is my favorite place for character vs character debates

Though on Facebook there is groups for Private debating aganist someone who would be represengting their character (or characters)
 
What differenciate VSB and also OBD is profiles, like all people are saying. Also because there needs to be multiple people to agree on one thing to add even small statistics alongside our own tiering system make additional powerups harder to approve upon. It's way harder to wank here, basically. Which is the reason why the elitist arguments come from.
 
Big thing here is characters have a predetermined level of power that is used in fights, on other debating sites its basically up to the opinion of the user so you'll find that in the same thread one person is massively wanking while another is massively downplaying so the same character will be called building level and solar system level in the same thread.

Another big thing is we use Attack Potency over Destructive Capability (I think DC is what im referring to) to avoid AoE Fallacy which many places dont use.

Hah, I wish. The communities I came from on G+ had constant beef, and there wasn't the requirement that one had to remain somewhat civil. People also got doxed over shit like VS opinions, so it could be said to be higher stakes as well
 
As someone who had been in SB for a while due of my ban in the past, i can tell that SB are bit of chill and kind of good site, but man when you start doing a drama then shit happen
 
I think this thread might be considered controversial. I have personally considered this the best and still do; it's honestly the only Vs debating community I feel at home at. But still, I don't like to cause bad blood with other communities.
 
I actually agree this site is way more strict with all kinds changes to the profiles (mainly abilities and stats), which I indeed think makes us elitists, but that's what I like about this site. Other sites would have allowed me to have 6-B to 5-B Sacred Eclipse, but not here.
 
We definitely have much higher standards than other communities, as most of the others are crowded with popularity contests. That being said, there have been recent events to make it feel like the quality was being traded for quantity, but I still hold the wiki high on that regards. There are still plenty of good people here to protect it from drama.

And the tool is....the spam :v

-Flashback to Mami, Tsuna, Violet, and many famous spammed characters-
 
One could also argue that our "elitist" ways protect the site from double standards. You can't claim that Saitama is High 4-C because of square cube law in ine thread and then reject that reasoning in another as soon as it suits your needs.
 
Spacebattles is honestly my 2nd favourite debating site, I do sometimes head over cause im interested in seeing others opinions.
 
Yeah, I like this site for what it is, I have plenty of headcanons I would otherwise be using to wank stuff, but thanks to this place I even learned the concept of there being separate canons (Let's just say I nearly always just composited stuff, it made the characters more relatable, and I'm sure many outside Vs. stuff do too).

Okay, I've been recommended other Vs. debating clones in the Fandom family (Debate Jungles seems appealing as it's basically a more lax variant of this place, but I've already worked hard and all here, I'll keep it in mind if the wiki does something too ridiculous or something, and then there's the YouTube comment sections on guys like Seth the Programmer... quite interesting)

To say the least, having the experience of pre-Vs. debating and the experience on multiple points of view has made me able to comprehend how a simple character can have so many points of view, normally you see X character as being portrayed in tier 10 (Even for certain series that are rated as 1-A here)

Funnily enought, I meeted this place thanks to the YouTube comment sections, even if I started really poorly (Starting with a Low 2-C thread out of nowhere to upgrade Spongebob, then doing messy edits and even once blanking a page by accident...), I really have to thank everybody for this unique experience, I get so much hidden lore here that not even the respective wikis of X series holds, all while even finding all the actual capabilities of Y character.

Seriously, it was a simple night, I was debating about TOAA in one of the comment sections of Seth the Programmer and I comment something like "If only there was a place where the powers and stats of characters are indexed", and then I get a link to this site, I'll never forget that.
 
This is something I read just yesterday:

"VSBW has good tiering system, powers and dimensional system. Their profiles sucks."
 
I mean, even to users outside the wiki, from second hand experience at least I can say that they normally find the powers and abilities indexed being accurate (Some of them have to be directly explained ofter, however, namely anything related to concepts and fate manip), the tier itself, on the other hand... is quite standard-dependant.
 
Yeah, if I'm being honest, I imagine the tiering system is probably one of the biggest qualms most other Vs Debating sites would have with this one. Given that it's extremely specific, with calcs and statements and very defined feats required to put characters at specific energy levels, it can result in characters who feel like they should be comparable quite literally being millions of magnitudes apart. The tiering system is logical and precise, for sure, but it sort of betrays the "common sense" of how the strength of characters in fiction is depicted. I've genuinely considered starting my own Vs Debating wiki where profiles would be tiered based on how they are depicted in verse (such as "regular humans", "gods", "deicidal characters", etc) with the assumption being that characters in that range would be comparable in AP to an extent and could fight eachother. It's obviously not as reliable as this wiki's system is (and to be honest, I might never get around to making it) but it's intended to combat the "impression" of discrepancies in the tiering system.
 
I may be repeating what's already been said but I think it's the fact that we have actual profiles and a system in place for categorizing characters. And after coming here from browsing CV, I realized just how much of a difference having a quick and easy-to-understand reference sheet for a character can make in a battleboard.
