Issues with the Nostalgia Critic's profile

[Eficiente]

• There is a general lack of evidence for his abilities and stats, important ones like speed, regen, resurrection and immortalities should not lack this. At the same time this is all stuff on youtube so just saying "this happened in this video" is pretty lazy, if you have a better understanding of when something happened then you can link that exact moment and save time for others looking for it.
• He's not usually portrayed as that strong or fast, those stats are either outliers or he should have a "Varies" in most of his stats, with the current ones being at his best.
• At the same time his Striking Strength has no reason to scale to his feat of blowing up a planet.
• His Standard Equipment is exaggerated and ignores the new formats we use. Unless the profile wants to claim that he has all of that at all time with him.
• The note is wrong, the reason why characters from other franchises don't scale should be due to being portrayed highly different from their original works. Some power making them be there does not remove the fact that their feats are being shown onscreen and they are the same characters doing that.
• Ha can survive without his soul in his body, this does not at all mean that he's "impossible to kill with conventional soul based attacks". What even is that jump from one thing to another.

He also doesn't fight often, so not sure what your point is on portrayal. Dunno about striking strength though

If someone can live without a soul how would you kill them by destroying or ripping out their soul (Also I'm pretty sure his soul outright bailed on him)

 

[DMB_1]

Same with AVGN's 3-C feat which is literally pulled off once in a small musical, and never again in the rest of the series

Yeah, I mostly agree, but not sure about the soul thing.

 

[Eficiente]

Having your soul come out of your body doesn't mean you don't need it anymore to function. We have no idea the mechanics in which this feat operates, just seeing the soul visually separated doesn't mean it's not sustaining the body from a range. That's like saying that if a character is decapidated and has his body still functional but the head intact then that means destroying that character's head should not kill him.

Azzy and Cal previously agreed with that when Kirby had the same feat. Not that I'm saying this based on their opinions, this seems pretty clear to me.

The dude doesn't fight much, so not sure how it would be inconsistent. The only other battle I can think of was him vs AVGN who has pretty solid feats and a casual 6-B explosion when he fought MasakoX. Though I agree more scans are needed.

 

[DMUA]

He also blew off a large portion of the planet by landing in the DBE review

 

[Yobo_Blue]

That's the one.

 

[Andytrenom]

We need evidence of powerful abilities that's true

 

[Andytrenom]

Soul thing might make sense as well, since if he didn't straight up get his soul destroyed it may be difficult to say if he can survive without it or not

 

[DMB_1]

It would still count has resistance to Soul Manipulation though. You know, against things like Soul-Stealing.

 

[Eficiente]

I guess, but soul destruction would still kill him. Just remove the "impossible to kill with conventional soul based attacks" would be fine.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

I mean if the soul is considered to canonically not be in his body anymore then he'd still be immune to most soul hax.

 

[Eficiente]

It momentarily left the body as it was watching a bad movie.

 

[DMB_1]

^I wish that happened to me.

 

[Eficiente]

Here's the scene for that btw.

 

[InfiniteSped]

The soul seems independent from him, so that might work

 

[Eficiente]

For what?

 

[Eficiente]

Here's an instance of him blowing up and later being fine fairly quickly.
