Like I said before, I'm deciding that point based on what the wiki already does. We think it matters enough to use heat capacity, we think it matters enough to differentiate LS/SS, I really don't like hearing the tried and tired "everything on the wiki is arbitrary" as it implies any standards we set up for gauging feats are meaningless.LSirLancelotDuLacl said:Like agnaa said before, you are just deciding at which point a difference is different enough to matter arbitrarily
I'm noticing every time I point out double standards here, the default argument is that our standards are meaningless to begin with.
Cool, introducing factors from specific verses and moving goalposts in this convo.LSirLancelotDuLacl said:why exactly would we differentiate heat in fictional settings where the source of such is the very identical same as other techniques, like chakra, whatever Mana replacement, Nen or whatever.
Pretty simple, the Chakra/Mana/[Insert Generic Fictional Energy] or whatever is turned into heat, which acts like and spreads like heat. It's turned into force another time, which acts like and spreads like force. They're two separate things, which should be judged separately.
Don't we already assume it acts realistically in the universe, given we assume it has realistic properties that can be calced?LSirLancelotDuLacl said:Now, when they are ACTUALLY treated as something different in universe? I can actually agree with you.
If your point is "fiction ignores physics, so let's not apply it", toss away calculations. The constants used to inflate character statistics here are part of the same textbooks I'm bringing up info from on this thread. Heat resistance and blunt force resistance don't correlate, water has a certain heat capacity, light moves at a certain speed, it's all physics, it's all part of the same package. Picking and choosing just makes the calculations inaccurate in their application.
So in a verse that equates the two, the heat obviously doesn't reflect real life properties on such a fundamental level that they shouldn't be calced as heat.
