Let's see... this would really only be the final fight Sora does against him alongside Donald and Goofy, so no.
I mean, Xehanort with the χ-blade is clearly far above Sora, to the point that he casually no-sells Sora's full power and then one-shots him when he releases his own full power. Sora needed an amp to be able to overpower Xehanort at that point. As for Re:Mind, I don't even recall Sora going back to fight the True Organization XIII all over again. The Sora that fought them then is still the same Sora that fought them in the original timeline- in fact, the whole point of Re:Mind is that Sora needs to connect the hearts of the Seven Guardians of Light to restore Kairi's heart before his past self defeats Xehanort.
In that case, I'd definitely advocate solid 5-A for Armored Xehanort and those that have been agreed to scale to him (Sora, the χ-blade, and Kairi and Mickey while amped by Sora).
Wouldn't that just be an outlier, though? Sora got stomped by base Xehanort prior to entering Scala ad Caelum, where he can somehow contend with Armored Xehanort, who has Terranort as a component of him. Not an argument against 5-A as a whole, mind you, but it goes to show that the gap in strength between Terranort and Armored Xehanort is too large for the former to downscale from the latter.
The one part we see warped can easily be put as game mechanics since Flounder's statement shows it clearly extends beyond that one area.
The best telekinetic attacks we see from him after that 5-A feat is that he pulls out meteors from dark orbs, but then the meteors fall down themselves without him controlling it, hence why possibly 5-A is the scenario here.
Fair enough.
As pointed out earlier, Xehanort in the same fight where he performs the 5-A feat wields twelve keyblades that are most likely being controlled by telekinesis. What do you think about that?
That's the reason it's a possibly, since from what I've asked in a previous thread you don't auto scale telekinesis potency to every telekinesis feat.
Technically, Terranort overpowered Sora. Sora managed to put up a fight and damage him but Terranort ultimately defeated him anyway.
That and the moon stuff.
That just makes it even worse. Sora loses to Terranort and gets stomped by base Xehanort, yet he can fight and overpower Armored Xehanort, whose being includes those two plus eleven other people and should realistically be far more powerful than his individual components? At this point, I'm convinced that at least the first Armored Xehanort fight is an outlier for Sora, which isn't helped by the fact that it takes place mere moments after Sora getting wrecked by base Xehanort as well as before Sora being overpowered by Terranort.
If Sora (at whatever tier he is) defeated Armored Xehanort in a second round, it could just mean running the same simulated battle over a lot of rounds wil give different results.
Kyogre does not become High 6-A "by controlling all the oceans". It becomes High 6-A for being the ocean counterpart of Groudon who was said to have raised the continents whose yield is properly calculated and accepted.)
The moon isn't an attack, hence why I said "the best telekinetic attack".
Hercules' feat happens much, much later than Ursula's feat chronologically, though. Even then, it might not be as high as originally calced, since Jason put forth an argument that the bit where the titans are claimed to have reached outer space in one second is based on a cinematic cut and shouldn't be used. We'll have to wait and see, though.
He managed to harm put up a good fight and harmed him and Terranort had to tap into the power of Darkness to submit him. As for base Xehanort stomping him, it was basically because he couldn't think clearly so he simply tried a basic move (hitting with the Keyblade) out of anger without really thinking. There's also the fact that Xehanort is far more experienced than him so he can deal with him and is really powerful even on his own. Plus, Sora had help from Donald and Goofy in the end and was amped by Kairi to defeat him.
Maleficent didn't see Sora as a non-threat. Pete mentionned he had lost a large part of his strength (so he is weaker at beginning of III than at the end of DDD) and Maleficent dismissed him because she was focusing on the Box so she didn't care about him at the time. I don't think we can say she would have been weaker though, she is among the most powerful characters in the setting, but she is also immensly arrogant so she tends to see others as fools and inferiors to her (wich is why I seriously doubt she was using her full power in KHI, at least in her witch form). Kind of like Gilgamesh in Fate (except Gilgamesh is leagues above her in every way of course). And because of that, I don't think we can say she has grown stronger. The only instance of her fighting after KHI were defeating Lauriam (and from what we know, she did it without much trouble) and throwing a fireball in DDD and we didn't see the fight against the Heartless army even though she was victorious. I just think she never used her full power, at least not counsciously, except perhaps for BBS against Aqua.
I know, just to add the fact that there is still this with him. But would the meteros really correspond to a 5-A feat?
I'm not too sure what you're saying here. Are you suggesting that Sora was amped in both of his fights against Armored Xehanort? Because... I don't know how to feel about that conclusion.
Fair enough.
The point I was trying to make is that Sora scaling to Armored Xehanort on his own makes no sense, but it looks like you agree with me on that part, so I guess it's a moot point.
I don't believe it's explicitly stated, but IIRC, Sora canonically derives power from his friendship with other characters, so I suppose it is safe to assume that Sora was amped during all of his fights against Xehanort. Of course, even with such a boost at play, Xehanort with the χ-blade no-sold his full power and then proceeded to one-shot him with his own full power.
That's what I understood. And tbf, that's the only way he could defeat Xehanort with the X-Blade.
That's exactly why I
