How do cutting attacks fall into tiering system?

[Joseph619]

The living tribunal said that cutting attacks are measured by pressure instead of joules (or so I understood). So how do cutting feats fall into the tiering system which is energy based until tier 3? Also it was noted that cutting attacks often hurt stronger characters very often.

This is not taking planetoid cutting feats into account where you can calculated how much parts have drifted apart with GBE.

Cutting attacks get calculated to energy values like everything else.

More often they are scaled to the durability of those we know they can hurt or calculated based on secondary attack, though.


btw. that cuts are pressure based isn't special, punches or most other kinetic impact types of damage involve that. What makes cutting special is the higher energy density, as compared to a punch for example.

Ok is there a formula for cutting? For example in Zoro vs Pica fight, Zoro cut Pica whose upper body was launched into sky and the potential energy was calculated. How about you cut a stationary object on ground in half? I am trying to compare how impressive and unimpressive cutting is compared to pulverization
