Currently, Humungousaur is accepted as being five times stronger in his enlarged state due to growing five times his standard size. However, this doesn't align with the standards outlined by our Multipliers page.

One should also consider which statistic a multiplier applies to. If a character just gets 10 times more powerful, then that doesn't necessarily means that all of its statistics are multiplied by 10. For example could a fiction in principle have a character become a 10 times more dangerous fighter just by increasing his combat technique, with only minor increases in stats. A more classical scenario is one where a characters strength increases by some multiplier, but their speed is untouched.

We need evidence that a multiplier applies uniformly to other statistics (in this case, that Humungousaur's strength increases to the same degree as his height).

There is no explicit statement that full-size Humungousaur's increase in strength is directionally proportional to increase in size. A statement along the lines of "When Humungousaur gets five times as big, his strength increases fivefold" would make this valid, but as it stands "Large Planet level+" should be removed and replaced with "higher".

The page does state he does get stronger when he reaches max size under the LS section
higher at full size (Stated by WoG to be stronger than Four Arms at full size. Managed to lift a house and throw it through several other buildings. Supported the weight of a falling Washington Monument. It has been confirmed that Humungousaur can lift a To'kustar)

Reread the OP. He obviously gets stronger, what we need is a statement that it's by the same amount as his increase in stature (5x).

Just "he gets stronger" isn't enough for a multiplier.

My point is that the 5x statement to his size is connected to his strength increase due to it being supported by his better feats

Like:
5x size amp --> 5x strength amp due to becoming proportionally stronger the bigger he gets

He doesn't have any Ronnaton level feats supporting the 5x multiplier.
Like:
5x size amp --> 5x strength amp due to becoming proportionally stronger the bigger he gets
Again, this needs an explicit statement.
 
I did earlier. He is said stronger than Four Arms in max size, who is if I recall right, is above normal Hummungousaur, meaning that him getting bigger made him get a boost strength as well
This proves nothing. He doesn't need to be 5x stronger to be stronger than Four Arms.

is this literally the only reason

yeah, nuke.
 
He litterally did, bc he's weaker when 5x smaller, that's what WOG implies
Are you not understanding what I'm saying?

Full-sized Humungousaur is stronger than regular size Humungousaur, yes, but just being "stronger" does not justify a 5x multiplier. A 5x multiplier needs to be stated outright.

If you repeat the same argument again I'm just gonna ignore you man.
 
Yeah the x5 AP multiplier can't be applied without a statement correlating the increase in size with AP, Humongosaur is unquantifiably stronger by sizing up so the "higher" rater fits the bill
 
Where does the 5x statement come from for the Big Mac sized Humunogaur? I do agree either way
 
Agree.

(What's happening? Has everyone attempt to nerf the verse?)
This is what is happening to the verse:

Agree with the removal. Inferring a strength multiplier just based on a size increase always felt off to me based on my knowledge of the multiplier standards, but multiple people had told me it was valid and it had been accepted by mods so I just left it be. Since it seems to actually not be though, I’m all for removing it.

If this gets removed then that calls into question the current scaling chain, since there’s two different multiplier scans for Ultimate Humungousaur that only technically didn’t contradict each other because of this multiplier. That can be sorted later after I find that other scan though.
