It's bordering the realm of ludicrous how long this has maintained itself through sheer unwillingness to work on it, so today I will 100% officially dictate what needs to be done with FNAF at this point in time.
The 9-B skull crushing calc has been recalculated to be 9-C. Therefore, since most canon animatronics scale to this feat, they MUST be downgraded to Street level.
That's it. That's the thread. ...Well...with a few caveats.
While the AP for these characters definitely needs to be lowered, I feel that the Durability of some characters may actually have reasoning to remain 9-B, specifically the original FNAF 1 and Sister Location. This is due to scaling from William Afton, and I will now hastily try to explain why I believe this is.
To quickly recap the events of the game, in FNAF 3, the Atari-style minigames that play in between nights show Afton slowly dismantling the animatronics one by one, until the spirits of the dead children come out of the robots and attack him. Fearful, he jumps into the nearby Golden Bonnie suit and promptly gets skewered by all of the springlocks unloading into him. 30 years later, he's found again, haunts the Fazbear Frights location for a few nights, and is supposedly killed when a fire breaks out in the location. Except he wasn't, and the games continue onwards, yadda yadda. What's my point, right?
My point is the Golden Bonnie suit, the same one which he hopped into and got promptly skewered. Canonically speaking, this was one of the first animatronic suits created by the pair of William and Henry, with the other being Golden Freddy. And since this suit was able to survive that fire (several fires by this point, actually), then it would only make sense that the Golden Freddy suit would be just as durable, as well as the original cast who should be able to scale to Golden Freddy.
But what about Sister Location? Well, to be quite frank, the Funtime animatronics are quite literally built different. Unlike most animatronics that are just a simple endoskeleton with an animal suit fitted around it, these animatronics are filled to the brim with metal wiring that should make them extremely bulky and durable, so much so that it takes a special tool to even try dismantling them. Suffice to say, I think they earn their keep.
And now we have Security Breach, which is probably the best game in the series for us, as for the first time ever, we actually have reliable on-screen feats that the animatronics perform, and I am very interested in seeing what the calculations we could get from this series to justify a good jump in Tier. Because I do believe that these guys are 9-B. We just need to learn how far into 9-B they go.
Despite this, the main point of this one is clear. Downgrade FNAF to 9-C. We can split hairs about Security Breach or Springtrap Durability scaling later. This is the important thing we must focus on now.
