lol actually somewhat related but I heard The Doctor has an explanation for those things that people consider as anti feats like him losing to humans and stuff. I need to find the source but I know this quote exists but apparently he goes into "ephermal mode":
"number of ‘X’s. His usual repertoire had quite simply failed to work. He'd
followed his usual procedure, adopting the basic thought-processes of a
human — albeit an exceptionally gifted human with an unfeasibly large hat
collection — so he could understand the psychology of the enemy, while still
retaining the edge. He'd slipped into ‘ephemeral mode’ easily enough,
remembering to think in three geometric dimensions and to perceive time as
a linear experience rather than any of the more exotic alternatives. He'd
analysed every move, calculated every chance. The man with the scalpel
should have been left standing by now. It was almost as if —"

Asura what is the evidence again to support tier 0 or at least high 1-A again

There's Romana talking about shit that exceeds set theory.
At least 3 infinite dimension statements that I can recall (one from a Bernice Summerfield novel).
And The Brakespear Voyage talks about orders of infinites.

I heard you guys say the time lords view quantum theory as 1 step above sticks and stones,
does this apply to even the most smartest thing humans can possibly think of?
the time lords are just that smart
like even a time lord child would be smarter than the smartest human

Interesting, so theoretically on base doctor could there be a potentially far higher with the statement that he's holding back?

I think it's more like he varies from human level to 9-A and human speed with subsonic travel speed and ftl reactions when he remembers.
The visual dictionary also confirms that his strength and speed are above human level.
I liked that Peter Capaldi's Doctor tended to use his super human strength and durability more often.

What about the smartest highest things we can think of?
cause currently the highest things humans can think are things like quantum theory and set theory (correct me if I’m wrong, if I’m wrong do the time lords view things higher than set/quantum theory that humans can think of as still 1 step above the rocks thing)
and @Udlmaster said Romana and the time lords view them as 1 step above banging rocks.

Are they nigh-omniscients or smth or supergenius?

Super genius

I might actually upgrade it to nigh-omniscience.
They know basically everything that's happened in the universe prior to their chronological time. Deep time telescopes even analyse billions of years of data every nanosecond, and those pale in comparison to the matrix.

They kinda remind me of a quote by Thanos in avengers assemble asura
Thanos:
By human standards, you're considered intelligent, Stark. Shame human standards are so low.
Replace stark with humanity and Thanos with time lords

Romana also had a nice moment where she fought a Movellan and tore its arm off. Can't find a clip on youtube though.

Oh so the Doctor can be nigh-omniscient?

Do you guys think Time Lord Victorious feats should be added to The Doctor or should he get a separate profile?

Does he have anything notable in it?

Speaking of reverse engineering.
In doctor who do many alien species reverse engineer tech they find?

Daleks did that with Time Lord tech.
Cybermen have a tendency to integrate tech.
It happens.

Is dalek version of time lord tech just as good as the original or slightly weaker?

By the way, are you still downgrading Doctor Who, or is it getting buffed to 1-A/0?

I'm going down multiple routes.
At first, I was trying for multiple options, and kind of letting y'all choose which is best with some case-by-case thrown in there.
Then I decided feats-only and axing higher-dimensionality was better (barring case-by-case instances).
And now, since Uld was pretty convincing in some places, I'm just going down multiple routes again, but emphasising case-by-case.

It's strange since there's evidence for both sides really, just from different comics/audiobooks/novels/statements etc.

That is to be expected for a franchise as big and as long running as as Doctor Who.

Maybe a divide between EU and TV canon should be done. Like with SCP.

I'm not sure, some characters are mentioned on TV that only appear in the EU like Abslom Daak, The Corsair, are the first ones that come to mind

I think another thing is that it's just said all of Doctor Who is canon or whatever while in SCP there isn't one.
