So there was a thread about this before but it just kinda died and now can't be bumped because it would be a necro. As a result, I'm making a new thread.

Currently, the Kid Icarus verse scales off of this calc. However, @Tankirbmon did a recalc of it here, based on this statement from Palutena that an Aurum ship much smaller than the Aurum Brain itself is the size of a continent. The recalc itself has been accepted by multiple CGMs, myself included. As such, I propose that the verse's Class P and High 6-B ratings be upgraded to Class Z and 5-A, respectively. If there's a way to pixel scale the Aurum Brain from the ship, I'd love to hear it, but I genuinely can't find anything so this is the best we've got.

That's about it from me, so now I'll open the floor to discussion!

Agree:
Disagree:
Neutral:
 
Any chance Palutena's statement could be a hyperbole?
I don't remember the game so precisely, but is there any scene to compare the ship or the brain to something else, to see if it really matches this size?
Also, it might not be too difficult to find a japanese gameplay and see what she says in the original version, the dialogue is scripted, after all, right?

She's guiding Pit and giving him info on what's going on in a dire situation so I don't see why she'd exaggerate

Nothing so far, that's what I'm trying to figure out.

Yeah it's scripted dialogue, but why do we specifically need to find the Japanese version?
 
Because in my experience american translators tend to be quite carefree with the terminology, so I always double check with the original source when a statement smells sus to me or implies great changes for the verse.
It occurred me a few times to ditch the english translation because it deviated from what the japanese (hence original) version said.
 
I didn't even realize they got downgraded. Ripperoni and cheese.

Well that shut that attempt to deny it down real quick. Since the english translation just got backed up by it's original version, count me as an agree.

Yeah they used to be 4-A but Hades's 4-A feat was deemed not actually a 4-A feat, and Dyntos's only scales to him because he's the strongest being in the verse (verbatim stated to surpass the likes of Hades)
