How is Lifting strength scaled?

How do we scale lifting strength? Is it like the same way AP is scaled between characters ? Like character A is Class 5 and can fight character B evenly, so Character B also has Class 5?

Kind of like that? If the characters physically grapple each other and such then that’s obvious. If it doesn’t show things like that but still implies they’re comparable, you can just use common sense.

Video games tend to be a bit more strict tho. You can’t say a playerable protag can damage a Class M boss with strikes and then just classify them as Class M as well. That said, if it’s clearly meant that they’re physically equal, then that's that. Like, we scale the Concierge from Dead Cells to the Beheaded despite Concierge never actually restraining him or anything, because otherwise it would be pointless cherrypicking especially when many other bosses can do that to him and it wouldn’t make sense for them to suddenly have vastly greater grip strength than it.

I see. So if it doesn't show grappling, but the characters are comparable to each other, then they can scale.

Lifting Strength requires one of the following:
  • They operate under a UES that also equalizes lifting strength. So comparable or stronger characters scale to weaker ones
  • They physically struggle or overpower the other character
  • A statement or some measuring metric is used to compare characters together (Character A has a Strength Rating of 7, but Character B has a Strength Rating of 8)
Just punching each other is not enough to scale lifting strength; they are required to grapple for the scaling to happen.
