Don't know if this will remain open but let's try... Xenoverse/Heroes range upgrade

We have in Xenoverse proof for 4 "histories"separated from one another. Basically 4 sets of infinite timelines.

The official/original history​

The official history is placed within the Time Vault (in the Time Nest) and the Book of Beginnings and Endings (the Time Scrolls ). This is where the infinitely branched timelines exist. This is all across universes 1-12/18, as each timeline possesses 12/18 universes .

Chasm of Time/Expert Missions​

The Chasm of Time (The Time gap or Crack of Time) is a closed space outside of the regular flow of time and it's actually joined with the eras of Dragon Ball. which we know is an infinite amount.

"You saw Goku and the rest in the chasm of time? You sure you weren't daydreaming? But that place is joined with many eras. It shouldn't even exist. It's not strange no matter what happens there."
Chronoa's post alternate ending conversion with the Future Warrior in Dragon Ball Xenoverse

Furthermore, when the crystals in the CoT started to get destroyed, It was stated that history was changing and everything would eventually collapse . The statement of history being changed is also present in the Japanese version

Furthermore, the CoT is a natural time rift, and Chronoa stated that a time rift is actually separated from the original history


From this, we can conclude that the CoT is another storage of Dragon Balls infinite history. If this doesn't apply to the CoT, it should at least apply to the Expert Missions since they are all time rifts.

Tokipedia​

Tokipedia in Xenoverse 2 is also called "Extra Story" and is branched into different timelines (infinite,the DLC 6 which is called Infinite History): the blue side which is accessible via the Time Rift in the Time Nest, and the purple side which is accessible via talking with Fu in the Time Nest

Furthermore, all these (infinite) timelines are ,again, branched into other timelines. In fact the timelines have different paths based on which mentor you choose.

The Rifts that contains the timelines are stated to be separated from the official history by Chronoa and Fu. So we know this is a completely seperate branch of infinite timelines then the one stored within the official history.

PQs (Parallel Quests)​

It is actually stated, both in the Japanese and English version of the game, that the history of the PQs is different from the one that is stored in the Time Vault . The time patroller is saying that the history stored in the Time Vault and the one of the Parallel Quests are two separated sets of (infinite) timelines. This is backed up by the fact that the PQs are accessible only via time machine, while the history in the Time Vault is accessible only via Time Scrolls (remember that Xenoverse implies that one scroll = one timeline ).

This should prove that there are 4 seperated "histories of infinite timelines.

With this the range of the characters should change from just Multiversal+ to At least Multiversal+
 
Except this feels like a very big CRT, that's kinda very important and might require quite a bit of debate. This is deciding how big a 2-A Cosmology is, this is generally very complicated stuff that requires quite a bit of debate to decide.
 
Before this gets temporarily closed, I just wanna throw my two cents into it.

The main history is an infinity.
The Crack of Time is iffy. It's stated to be a time rift, which are separated from the main history, but when it was being destroyed, the main history was being affected?
The Tokipedia contains another infinity.
The history in which the Parallel Quests take place should also be another infinity.

So, that's three sets of infinity, four if you count the Crack of Time, at the very least. But this wouldn't increase their range to "At least Multiversal+". It's still just an infinite number of space-time continuum, no matter how many sets of infinites you throw into the mix, so it'd remain just Multiversal+.

If you're talking about the 2-A standard, that only applies to AP, not to range. Also Madoka has at least 2-A range for affecting 2 2-A sets of timelines and so does Archie characters. So I don't see why DB shouldn't

It would be 4 sets due to the Expert Missions
 
Pretty much agreed DC has the superior 2-A range because of multiple infinities. But that doesn't relate to AP.
 
About the CoT:

The CoT is separate from the main story due to being a time rift but it contains crystal which should be the representation of the timelines. Btw we can exclude it, since it seems at bit controversial. It should be just a place outside the sets of timelines
 
I'd like to chime in on the Parallel Quest part of the OP - the source cited is correct, but it's only one of Skid's four pieces of dialogue concerning PQs. In the English version, he also says:
Are you the Patroller who's on the critical mission? Everyone's talking about you! You know the great hero? But if you look very closely at each of the changes the hero made, you'll find slight imperfections in history. That's because those interventions were made by someone who never existed in the original timeline. Because of this, we can detect tiny fluctuations in history. That's why we have Parallel Quests. We can keep trying again and again to fix history completely, but we only ever get a fraction close to the correct version.
This would need to be checked against the Japanese version, but it would suggest that they are finite in number, given they only exist as the by-product of changes to history.

Actually, Trunks ,also, indeed states that they are products of changes in the main story. I assumed thought that since every possibility is realized in DB, and the Multiverse constantly expands (the smallest thing creates many different futures) the sets would still be infinite, since that would imply that every timeline splits into infinity anyways (every possibility is realized + many different futures from the smallest of things = infinite timelines created every time) . Don't know thought and I might be wrong

Personal view of the situation:

So the Xenoverse/Heroes cosmology should be counted as 2x, possibly 3x due to the PQs being unclear if there's a finite or infinite amount of them

Or 3x, possibly 4x due to the PQs being unclear if there's a finite or infinite amount of them.

In the first option, I fused Tokipedia with the Expert Missions. In the second option, I separated Tokipedia from the Expert Missions:

EM are only time rifts while some Tokipedia timelines are inside time rifts but also some corrupted time scrolls which Dabura corrupted (like the Majin Buu one).


I'm fine with both thought. I'll also ask some staff opinion.

Only the main history and (if counted) the Crack of Time should apply to Heroes' cosmology; the Parallel Quests and Expert Missions aren't shown to exist in that continuity, and the Tokipedia can't exist.

That's fair.

Btw I wanna say that the CoT being connected to the main story is contradicted due to the fact that Demigra was planning to destroy the Time Vault (which would have blown up the multiverse) and to hide in the CoT due to it being unaffected. Also Heroes treats it as a space separated from the multiverse so it should count as separated
 
The problem is that a simple name of the DLC isn't proof enough to call the separate Timelines Infinite, and the parallel Quest also doesn't have any evidence of being infinite from what you've posted. Just because the main timelines is infinite does not mean we can treat timelines that exist outside them as infinite in number as well.

I also share the same opinion of the Crack of Time it might be outside Time and its destruction but the timelines it is connected to are probably there same as the Time Vault timelines.
 
CoT is definitely outside of time. We agree on that

If it's connected to the main story then it's definitely 2-A in size. It would still count as a range feat: Demigra knows that the multiverse blowing up (baseline 2-A range) doesn't affect the CoT hence why he plans to hide in it. So baseline 2-A range isn't enough to affect it.

It should be 2x regardless since he's affecting 2 2-A spaces.


As for Heroes: does affecting the Real World count as a range feat, since people are affecting something beyond even the CoT? This is a just a question btw.

I agree to not count the others like PQs and Tokipedia, but definitely not agree on not counting the CoT.

Also CoT and the "Main story/multiverse" Are consistent with both Heroes and Xenoverse. The CoT survived the fight between SSJ3 Goku, Demigra and Future Warrior 1. And Dabura also uses it to hide from the destruction of the multiverse that Chronoa's possible death would have caused.

You can have things outside a 2-A Cosmology without them giving a multiplier, without further evidence of their size they would just be Infinite Timelines + a few extra ones. Though I'm not sure how the Wiki would accept the Range because ∞+2 or whatever not making much sense from a logical point of view.
 
I have another question.

If the main story has infinite variations of itself, does that count as 2x 2-A?

Tokipedia literally proves that every timeline has a version of the Time vault with the timelines (clearly an infinite amount since history is infinitely branched) stored inside of it. That would mean infinite versions of the time nest with every each one of these having infinite timelines.

Agreed with OP that there are multiple sets of 2-A size structures in Xenoverse and Heroes. I'm not sure how the wiki handles that in terms of range and AP currently, but there is definitely more than 1 set of infinite space times in the cosmology.
 
Problem is that every set would still be 2-A due to Cosmology shenanigans

Also as I said the main story has infinite variations of itself due to the fact that every timeline has a Time Nest with the infinite timelines of the main story inside of it, so it would be at least 2x regardless of anything (infinite timelines + infinite variations of them) .

It makes no sense to assume that every Time Nest contains the Exactly same timelines as the one we explore during Xenoverse and the ones they explore in Heroes. There's no proof of it and it would be contradicted by pretty much everything.

Infinite collections of infinite timelines is 2x baseline 2-A and every Time Nest has its own version of the infinite history (in Tokipedia it is shown to us a timeline where Demigra is the Supreme Kai of Time.) This would still grant "At least Multiversal+" Range to the cast.

Also remember that the Time Nest is in U7. Plus Chronoa is the Supreme kai of time for her own timeline, so there are multiple versions of Chronoa. In Heroes this is confirmed as well.

The CoT doesn't only watch the timelines, it contains them. An infinite amount of them. Hence why it is connected to the multiverse but at the same time separated from it. When the timeline that a crystal "observe" Is destroyed, so is the crystal itself. Because the crystal IS the timeline.

Also about the Parallel Quests: Trunks states that they are they derivated from Time Fragments and that they end up creating their own histories.

As i said i'm leading towards 2x baseline 2-A. But the PQs not being infinite doesn't make much sense to how the cosmology works and due to the fact that Trunks states that the Time Fragments end up becoming separate sets of timelines. Also the main story has been altered as a whole many times so it makes sense that there are an infinite number of them, given the fact that the Time Vault timelines have infinite variations of themselves.

The Tokipedia isn't literally infinite though - Fu creates the rifts individually, and the only reason they branch in the first place is because Fu lets you go back and make a different choice.

Ok.

So we have :

Time Nest history(multiverse)
Infinite Variations of said multiverse (every timeline has a Time Nest with infinite timelines recorded and stored inside of it)
CoT (likely)
PQs (possibly)

No. We literally have no proof of this claim.

Honestly I see absolutly no proof that any of this would make the Cosmology more then one infinite with a few extra Timelimes outside it.

WE literally see the Time nest in another timeline in Xenoverse.Also it's located inside Universe 7 so it makes no sense for it to not being in other timelines. It would be like saying that Heaven and Hell don't exist in alternate timelines. This claim contradicts the cosmology

There's no proof the Time Nest doesn't exist in other timelines and don't have the main story inside of it when Xenoverse literally debunks said claim.

We have more proof of my claim then yours. Xenoverse disagrees with you

The only debunk i've seen so far is about Tokipedia and the Expert Missions. And possibly the Parallel Quests.

The Tokipedia isn't literally infinite though - Fu creates the rifts individually, and the only reason they branch in the first place is because Fu lets you go back and make a different choice.
Also going back to this:

Fu in Tokipedia states that the rifts aren't created by him. And the rifts appeared at the same time.

Anyways i still need to see a debunk for the Crack Of Time.

Several 2-A structures are still just 2-A.

Also, we should close this thread, as only one revision per verse is allowed at a specific time.

While the thread should be closed for now, I think you're missing the point here.

This isn't about AP, it's about upgrading range to At Least Multiversal+ for having a cosmology that is above baseline. Madoka and Archie Sonic both have it for being able to affect structures that are larger than baseline 2-A. This is was also brought up in a Madoka vs Yogiri match where it was argued that Madoka is omnipresent across a cosmology that is larger than Yogiri's so he wouldn't have the range to affect her entirely.
 
I am afraid that it doesn't matter. There is no good validation for anything higher than 2-A according to our rules. Infinity x 4 = Infinity.

Not really. In the 2-A standard thread that we had some time ago we agreed that multiple 2-A structures would not grant an AP rating, but they would still count as better range. Ultima Reality explained it pretty well, I think.

Also i'm pretty sure the other revision thread (the DBS one) was made after this one.

Even a countably infinite number of 2-A cosmologies is still just infinitely above baseline 2-A.

As said before , that only applies to AP, not range. DC,Archie,Madoka have "At least Multiversal+" range for affecting multiple 2-A structures. And the standards thread we made some time ago also reached that same conclusion. It doesn't grant an AP rating tho.
 
Where did Ultima say this? It doesn't seem to make any sense.
 
Don't remember which thread, but I vaguely heard someone say that.
 
I remember ultima saying it but I don't think that thread was backed up for the forum move. I'm trying to look it up but can't find it. The title was something like "2-A standards"
 
Here it is:


Anyways from previous comments i think the only things that would qualify as 2-A sets would be the main story and the Crack of Time due to containing the timelines from the former but at the same time being separated from it.

clarifying some things about the latter:

Differently from what some people might think, the crystals in the Crack of Time aren't just "a view in time". That is inherently false.

They are physical representations of a certain age in dragon ball's history.

When you travel to an age you are travelling to a seperate timeline, which is the main reason for why Chronoa always refers to a single Time Scroll as a single timeline.

Chronoa calls them timelines and a time scroll represents a certain "age" as showed in Xenoverse so the two terms are clearly interchangeable.

Chronoa also stated the crystals are eras/ages in dragon ball's history


"You saw Goku and the rest in the chasm of time? You sure you weren't daydreaming? But that place is joined with many eras. It shouldn't even exist. It's not strange no matter what happens there."


When Kid Buu destroyed the timeline in xenoverse the crystal exploded



SSJ3 Goku vs Kid Buu fight starts at 5:17. But then Buu gets powered up (7:20) and age 774 explodes.


Also



the crystal are shown to explode and their explosions cohencide with changes in history.

Another thing to clarify more:

While it is true that Chronoa only says "Many eras" the implications of how the crystals are connected to the timelines suggest that it is interconnected with all the timelines in History, which would make the Crack of Time 2-A. Also the fact that Chronoa and Trunks stated that History was changing and everything would eventually collapse while showing the crystals exploding back up this.

Also as i said before The statement of history being changed is also present in the Japanese version. The Crack of Time is a time rift (Mira after escaping it in the Jap version calls it "Gap of time") that creates space time distortions and Chronoa stated that a time rift is actually separated from the original history.

Futhermore it's located outside of time
