A while back
UPS was applied to the verse in this CRT alongside Low-Godly Regeneration with souls, though the discussion in the thread was about the souls part.
A
follow-up CRT upgraded Alucard based on UPS to Tier 7 based on the
blood calc and the
fog calc (it is argued that the handful of telekinetic attacks in the series should scale to the energy required for the blood and fog calcs). Though I think the opposition was made weaker by not compromising on Tier 8 and spending much effort arguing against the Tier 8
Blackwing crash calc based on Tier 9 being more consistent.
This thread happens.
It turns out that the blood calc is not usable. The problems are:
- It assumes that Alucard is generating the blood from his body and explosively sending it away omnidirectionally to flood the city, when he is in fact drawing it in from across the city and gathering it in one spot.
- It also assumes one story high as the average height for the blood across one third of London, even though there are many shots where the depth of the blood is less than a meter.
- There is an explicit statement of how many people's blood were absorbed, and if we use the given figure to get the overall volume of the blood, it wouldn't be enough to make a calc that is above Tier 9.
It was also brought up that the justification for UPS is weak. It is claimed that vampires "become vastly stronger" by drinking more blood, which explains why Alucard is top-tier. But Seras become top-tier after drinking the blood of a single person.
So the power levels are more about what type of vampire you are
(artificial vampire, unawakened true vampire, awakened true vampire) than the quantity of blood drank.
Supporters in the thread are arguing to:
- Downgrade the verse to Tier 8 physically.
- Get rid of the UPS.
- Get rid of the blood calc.
- Consider the fog feat to be Environmental Destruction.
LordGinSama was responsible for the upgrades and arguing as an opponent, but he is no longer active. He conceded on getting rid of the blood calc, but not the rest of the proposals.
