Kenshin's Attack Potency

[Lina_Shields]

Having read the Rurouni Kenshin manga, I have noticed that Hiko Seijuro is in High 8-C while Himura is in 9-A. There is a huge gap in attack potency (44x difference) between the high ends of 9-A and High 8-C, and I did not see a feat from Hiko where he is over 44x stronger than Kenshin or any top tiers in the series. Hiko's scaling to High 8-C is scaled from Fuji's one handed strike, and Shishio is stronger than Fuji by a landslide.

Kenshin's final duel with Hiko Seijuro ended with Kenshin doing enormous damage to Hiko, which makes Kenshin's AP comparable to Hiko's durability (this is done with a blunt sword).

The final fight with Kenshin and Enishi moves even faster with Enishi moving at speeds where Kenshin couldn't even react and keep up.

With due respect, Kenshin's tiering should be upgraded to High 8-C, to where Seijuro is.

So scale Kenshin to Seijuro, basically?

 

[Lina_Shields]

yes, as well as top tier Rurouni Kenshin characters.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

Well then he probably should be upgraded then if that's the case. I always wondered why Kneshin was kind of like what he is. Then again, never bothered with Rorunoi Kenshin so.....whateve's.

In any case, i don't see why Kenshin and others like him shouldn't be upgraded to HIgh 8-C unless stated otherwise...

 

[Lina_Shields]

The batman fight should be revised with inconclusive since Kenshin's AP changed.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

What about the speed? Is there anything you could get that couyld change it or are they fine for now?

 

[Lina_Shields]

Speed is fine for now. Kenshin has been casually reacting to most bullets and stuff so yea, supersonic+.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

Fair enough. I'll highlight this thread to get more replies before the change happens...

8-C sounds more precise.

 

[ThePerpetual]

How is 8-C more precise? That's a different tier entirely from High 8-C, as 8-C is Building level AP and High 8-C is Large Building level AP.

At any rate, it sounds like they should scale to each other to me.

 

[Antvasima]

This seems reasonable, although technically sharp swords can usually do damage to more powerful opponents.

 

[Ikusabe_Wataru]

At least from the manga it looked like he was around 8-C.

 

[Yamatohime]

Well, basicaly you need less AP to kill somebody with sharp object since those sharp objects has better penetration. I've read all original series and have a hard time to remember what kind of feat could put Kenshin to such levels...

 

[Lina_Shields]

you are able to calculate the AP with sharp objects using momentum; there was a calc on narutoforums a few months ago on how to do it

As far as I remember momentum is not quite good for KE calculations. Still better compared to nothing I think.
