How do I calculate this:

[IGunProFan2341]

I’m finding out how to calculate the attack potency of a character when they destroy something from a distance, using a shockwave or something, like how Saitama destroyed the mountains in the genos fight, other than pulverisation, frag etc.

Can you send the feat? Because shockwave feats are very context dependent

Well since the mountain completely disappeared you could use vaporization instead ig?

But Saitama was destroying it at a distance, I want to find out the total joules exerted on the shockwave, given that I have the distance it stops at, for example, a character destroys a plane flying in the sky by releasing a shockwave that blows it up

The distance doesn't affect the energy output that much as long as it's not an explosion that spreads away from the source.

If a character in the ground creates an omnidirectional shockwave that destroys the plane you could use inverse cube law with a hemisphere using the distance between the character and the plane as radius.

But for a feat where the beam is in a straight line, such as the mentioned Saitama feat, this method isn't applicable. This seems to be a standard destruction feat. At most you could include air resistance on top of vaporization but that would make very little if any difference.

So should I use the Pulversation/Vaporisation method?

Probably. But in my experience, if you're unsure about a calc you should try finding very similar calcs that are already accepted or done by experienced people.
Saitama destroying that mountain was calculated by Vzearr who's pretty knowledgeable on the topic

Saitama Destroys A Mountain

vsbattles.fandom.com

So you can use that calculation as a point of reference in case you're unsure about anything

Ok thanks

No problem, good luck with your calculations
