Kimetsu no Yaiba 8-B and 8-A scaling questions

[KingTempest]

Where does the 8-A value come from?

The profiles make it seem like it's upscaled from Doma, but then the lower level chars scale to Zenitsu, who has an 8-A feat on his profile, even though it says 8-B on his profile.

How does the 8-A and/or 8-B scaling work?

The 8-B+ calc is only 30 tons below 8-A, so I think its through upscaling

Is 30 tons off enough to upscale? I mean it could if there's some multiplier statements, but if its just beating the shit out of dudes or stomping them, I think we'd have gone with "higher" or "far higher" or something.

Generally we go with a 25% gap + one shot to upscale (Not required, but generally speaking).

Who is we

The wiki, Damage did a thread about that awhile back, while it isn't 100% needed and exceptions do exist, it's like, preferable to fall into that range.

It's not, a 1.4x gap is way too big

 

[Chariot190]

Well then personally I'd just go with "likely far higher" or something.

Though I do recall seeing a 8-A calc that was accepted iirc, though if it isnt on the verse, it's probably been canned or something.

Though if they're scaling off Zen, they should probably just word it better, no need to mention of far lower bit feat.

The 8-B+ calc comes from Doma who was hit with poison 700x the lethal amount needed to kill a demon, and he performed the feat while melting and falling apart

So anyone on par with a casual Doma scales to 8-B+ characters like Inosuke and Kanao

The 8-A value comes from upscaling, it was decided that the 3rd upper moons and anyone superior to Doma will scale to 100 tons characters like Mastery of Sun Breath Tanjiro, Kokushibo, Muzan, Yoriichi

Some characters only have a likely rating with the 8-A value, characters like Rengoku and Akaza

The profiles make it seem like it's upscaled from Doma, but then the lower level chars scale to Zenitsu, who has an 8-A feat on his profile, even though it says 8-B on his profile.

So anyone stronger than or on par with Zenitsu, scaled to his value of 217 tons, but when the MHS+ speed rating was downgraded the calc couldn't be used anymore since it used that speed value I guess whoever was revising the profiles must have forgotten to remove it.

The 8-A value comes from upscaling

That's slightly problematic. You might have to go with just a "At least 8-B+, likely higher" or something, 30 tons is quite a gap, though it was done while half dead, still.

I wasn't there when they decided on the scaling, just telling everyone why they scaled to said values

Yeah nah I get ya.
