Yet your immediate reaction to a nerf being prepared is to say "why not just delete the verse".
The profiles were absolutely not in such an unrecoverable state, they could've easily been fixed. It takes more effort to remake the profiles than to just fix the links and change around a bit of the text.

Any further HI3 discussion should be taken to a General discussion thread or something or a discord. For now this is not relevant imo

Literally common sense. You need energy to digest food; I’d advice you to delve back to the introduction of physics before dwelling upon intermediate areas.

They were deleted for a reason. Enough said and enough with this topic.

If it's common sense then show it. Show me where it was swallowed in a matter of seconds and prove that it's the same as an explosion in terms of energy.
And then, please prove that Argentis attack is in any way shape or form equal to the energy produced by that explosion.
Please **** off with your backhanded ass comments when you yourself don't know what you're talking about.

Rewatch the fuсking clip when The Sting begun swallowing, lol. Obviously Argenti has to hurt it in-order to scale to it.

He pierced it, an ant can still hurt you and break skin, but is an ant equal to the energy output of your entire stomach exploding? No.

Unless you really believes that a High 6-A/4-C character with a piercing/cutting attack can hurt a 4-A character
Click to expand...
Yes, they can.
An ant can break skin, a mosquito (which you can literally accidentally kill by grazing it too hard with your hand), etc. can all pierce human skin and humans are many, MANY times stronger.
I already explained the math once, and in this thread again.
It's best to wait for staff input.
 
Didn't think it was possible to drag me out of my vacation, but here I am I guess. I'm just gonna hash this out real quick, starting with the easy one.

1. Ignoring Honkai 3rd feats is stupid.

Whoever asked to delete the Honkai 3rd profiles is either hopelessly clueless or actively malicious. Those profiles were perfectly fine (I should know, I made practically all of them personally) and there were people working on revising the verse. Whoever is then claiming that Honkai 3rd is suddenly invalid purely because those pages are no longer around, despite it being explicit where Welt came from, is even worse. The removal of a page is not the same as the removal of a feat. For as long as the source calc on the speed Welt scales to is considered valid, it cannot be removed from his profile.

And now to the main event...

2. A piercing attack affecting something of a higher tier only contributes to a higher rating.

Which is to say, it does NOT provide enough evidence to be a standalone proof of a higher rating. Unless Argenti displayed similar feats of clearly and notably damaging a 4-A character, then piercing the Giant Sting's stomach is an outlier and nothing more. The fights against Emanators don't count for much, because as I've brought up before, there are no 4-A Emanator feats. The two biggest feats in HSR right now are Zephyro destroying a star system and Dominicus trapping all of Asdana in a dream, neither of which give 4-A for reasons I assume everyone is already aware of.

Just because sharp objects are not considered durability negation, from an objective physics standpoint, a human-sized spear piercing the stomach of a monster large enough to hold a starry sky in said stomach is the equivalent of a needle piercing through a sandcastle on planet Earth. If anything, it can be argued that the spear would realistically do less relative damage; if it weren't for said attack causing spasms in the monster's body. The only reason VSBW doesn't calc force over surface area in the context of blades and needles is - to greatly oversimplify - because it's a hassle to keep track of and inconsistently portrayed across media. Yet even so, there's a reason environmental destruction is not considered in the same vein as raw kinetic energy: just because a storm totals to a certain amount of energy doesn't mean the part of the storm actually hitting its targets has all of that energy being applied directly. This applies both ways.

This isn't even getting into how "direct attacks on internal organs" are considered a valid form of durability negation. Dozens of characters have abilities that control blood or manifest effects inside their targets and those are considered durability negation even when said characters use them on opponents relative to their normal tier. Argenti piercing through the Giant Sting's stomach would be considered in the same vein even if he was already 4-A, which he currently isn't.

So no, Argenti does not scale to 4-A nor does anyone else.

This is why i brought Traiblazer wistanding the same piercing attacks by Argenti as the part of the 4-A feat of hsr,and i already explained why in the crt,as for other feats of hsr Zephyro is afaik calced at 4-B? there is also someone making an explosion capable of destroying 24 planets at once..and trapping entire asdana is more of a range feat since he can put entire star system in a dream (my opinion tho)

Idk whats the argument here honestly...we are talking abt simple feat of piercing damage made on the Sting and the characters being able to witsstand his attacks,,, idk what can blood manip do here or whatever you tried to say
also i didnt expect to see someone who was gone for 4 month here

How does Trailblazer withstanding the same attack make it 4-A?

by not getting pierced? you know withstanding piercing attacks works as durability fyi,by logic if someone is able to witshtand a piercing attack that 4-A being (Giant Sting) couldnt it would completely upscale the Durability of the latter tanking the attack (unless another standard exists that only wokrs here nowhere else)

Zephyro only scales to at best causing planetary storms to ravage a planet (see: Xianzhou's records of his feats). Even his supernova feat was specifically worded as him triggering one in the planet's home star, not creating one from nothing. At best, Ravagers can be Star level via scaling to Phantylia or that one other Ravager that destroyed a chain of stars over an (afaik unspecified) timeframe.

Nobody scales to the Imaginary Implosion Pulse. Why would you think anyone scaled to it?

Sharp thing hurt very big thing don't make sharp thing hit as hard as very big thing because very big thing can crush whoever is holding sharp thing very easily because of how big and strong they are.

I don't know how to make it any simpler than that, but if you honestly don't understand these concepts, then for your own sake, I don't recommend you go around making CRTs. This is really quite basic powerscaling/wiki knowhow. There are pages on the wiki dedicated to explaining these things. I recommend reading up on the calc rules in particular and the page on durability negation in particular.

characters in this wiki already scale to dan heng 4-C for beating star swallowing monster and phantylia scales to that too and having Far higher with some emanator feats as justification so you are right there.

Putting aside this mess of circular reasoning.
The Giant Sting calculation still isn't good anyway. It still assumes the entirety of the Stings intestines exploded which is not how it happened and not how it works
 
So, in regards the speed, why not just make characters from Xianzhou Luofu Arc onwards scales to Seele's speed then? This won't solve the problem?

I disagree, Seele's calc comes from Blitzing Bronya's rifle, which Bronya used to fight the Express Trio when they first arrived in Jarilo. If they scale to the calc, then the whole feat is circular. Plus Seele snails Bronya twice (When the vagrants shot at Bronya and in the Seele Trailer). Plus Seele has no speed scaling with the casts of other worlds because of that. Maybe look for other speed feats if possible. I think Aventurine reacted to Orbital canon in Penacony. Phantylia's calc has her attack speed at Sub-Rel which could be good. But only applies to Xianzhou high tiers and onwards.

On the topic of HI3rd feats: Speed is coming back to relativistic/FTL for Welt, and his profile should probably be split into 2 keys. HoR Welt and HSR Welt. HoR scales to 4-A from being a Herrscher (even if an "incomplete"/not fully realized one). That COULD support the 4-A tirering here, unless we downgrade the second key to current HSR

I'm pretty sure we're also downgrading HI3's 4-A.
 
okay i have put the strike-trough on speed scaling since the entire drama of hi3 profiles is gone i wont focus on speed scaling of hsr and hi3 now i will leave that for another crt.
Ill keep the focus on the entire scaling part and wait for staff input

I disagree cause cause the goat RATH thinks this verse looks silly




Neutral for now

Discuss this in another thread.

@Solacis You have provided zero evidence for your arguments. Hasty generalisation — end of the story.

Awesome.

@DarkDragonMedeus May I ask do you still approve of this CRT for the 4-A rating based on Elizhaa's calculation?

I heard you said something about the inverse square law but we currently don't have a calculation for it; I'll make one when I get the chance but I hope it won't disrupt this from passing.
