Eric Cartman's profile

[ArbitraryNumbers]

This profile in general seems... really weird.

The explanations for statistics are either vague and/or strangely worded. It also includes "a LOT of luck" as one of the abilities, and the explanation as to why he has it is also vague. I'm not sure if this is even a quantifiable, legitimate ability or not?

The point is that this profile seems sloppy and needs to be fixed with more complete statistics with more specific explanations. If we cannot find a way to accurately define any feats the character has as of now, then I suggest that we instead leave all of the statistics at "Unknown" until someone who is much more knowledgable on South Park can provide us with some feats and/or calcs.

I'll highlight this for more opinions. Your points sounds valid to me.

 

[Ultimate_Silver_Fan]

Agreed, these are justifiable points.

His Small Building feat seems to come from this fight in Stick of Truth. "The New Kid" has fought other enemies of around Room/Small Building size but uh, they might a bit to graphic to show off.

He also fought The New Kid, and helped The New Kid defeat Zombie Princess Kenny, so he defiantly scales. But again, that scene might be a bit to graphic to show off.

The Lightning Manipulation stuff only happened in Bigger, Longer, Uncut when he had the V-Chip, so an explanation on that should be added. On a side note, he killed Saddam Hussein, who seemed to be roughly comparable with Satan with the V-Chip.

The Luck part can probably be removed.

On a side note, I vaguely recall Cartman getting possessed by a Trapper Keeper and growing bigger than South Park, maybe that can be added?

@Dark

I wasn't suggesting anything should be removed, just only if we can't get better explanations. I think you've provided some reasonable fixes.

 

[Antvasima]

I would also appreciate if the profile could be improved upon.

 

[Mefre]

wouldn't it be better to write "Very Lucky" I mean if a character is generally very lucky, shouldn't that be in the power/ abillity section

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

Well, characters being lucky is more of a thing the writer does rather than an innate ability the character actually has. Though, if it's outright stated the character has a form of "Luck Manipulation" then that would fall under Probability Manipulation I believe.

 

[Antvasima]

I have changed the wording to "very lucky".

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

Eric Cartman should have lightning manipulation because the V-chip is embedded into his skin. He also still has it, technically, and can turn it on or off at will.

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

I was never denying any of Eric's feats.

However, I do believe that surviving being shocked in a bathtub would be more of a resistance to electricity, not "Luck". In fact, it may even be straight up Toon Force considering the nature of South Park.

Oh, I forgot to put toonforce as one of his abilties.

He still is very, very lucky, as has been shown consistently throughout the series.

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

Luck isn't an ability unless he's straight out stated to have a form of luck manipulation. JoJo characters in general have been shown with tremendous luck, and it's consistent. It doesn't mean they have any form of luck-related abilities or probability manipulation whatsoever.

Should it be noted elsewhere on the profile?

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

I don't recall any of the JoJo characters having their luck noted in their profiles, so I doubt it would apply here.

Alright, I'll remove it and add toonforce.

 

[Mefre]

I belive so, as certain profiles do have high luck in their powers and ability sections

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

I think I'll list it as a part of his toonforce.
