Kirin AP Discussion

Calc will be up when it is up.

Regarding the pixelscaling; I think that the reason there is a small discripency between the "front and back" of the pillar in this shot, is because we're actually seeing two different sides of the pillar.

Looking at the pillar in this shot, we can see that the "front" of the pillar appears shorter because of the dome of the roof compared to the back of the pillar.

So I think that the current pixelscaling I've got that should still work.

The shots are exactly the same, since we see the two other pillars are in the same order. I remember Jvando bringing up an issue with that curve in the roof before and noted that it shouldn't be used, but I can't really remember his exact reasons.

Though at the moment, I'd just say we should get these calcs finished first, then we calc discuss it more when we decide which one to use.
 
Agreed. Just wanted to bring it up so that it explains why I left that bit of the calc the same when I post the revised version.
 
Holy shit, I can't believe this is finally happening. I honestly don't even care which version we go with, or what result we get in the end. I just wanna finally get a usable Kirin calc.
This might just motivate me to work on the Bijū scaling thread more.
 
A question @Damage3245

Why do you assume half the height to be compressed here?
The full height is compressed; it's just that the average distance travelled by the material is equivalent to half the height of it. I explained it to Wrath up above.
 
Honestly not sure about that method for finding the AP of the Katons. What was the exact reasoning for that against?

Databooks state his katon can create the thunderclouds for Kirin +

Having looked at both calcs, I’ll give my opinion on which I think is more accurate and why.

Personally, I believe the second version is best as it keeps the pixel scaling to a single panel, eliminating as much panel to panel art inconsistency as possible. Additionally, it makes use of the accepted Kirin cloud height that comes from an ang size based on the canon distance statement from Hinata.

On the other hand, the first calc has more margin for error as it pixel scales across multiple panels. But more importantly the image used to find the wall height uses a super tiny image of Sasuke, which I find particularly meh because that undetailed Sasuke is more likely to have proportion inconsistencies than a closer up counter part. This issue solely exists within the first calc and isn’t present at all in the second calc.

Otherwise the methods for finding AP are the exact same. So, since the second calc offers far less opportunities for errors from inconsistencies with pixel scaling than the first calc does, I believe the second calc is objectively superior.
 
@Arc7Kuroi; just want to quickly interject to say that the 2nd method technically uses two panels for pixelscaling. The first one to find the height of the clouds above the ground which is linked to at the beginning of the calc, and then the second one for finding the dimensions of the mountain.


Not disagreeing with your conclusion necessarily; just that the initial assessment is a little misleading.

What is the ap of the two calcs?

Yeah I see what you mean I missed that link, my primary issue tho is with using midget Sasuke.

@speedster352 you can find and click the calc links in this thread or visit damages blog to find out the AP values.
 
Few issues with this calc.

1.) Your scaling in this image doesn't line up with how you scaled in this image as you used the back of the pillar instead of the front like you used in the fist picture.

2.) In this image you stopped scaling, but we can clearly see there is far more to the mountain that you decided not to account for. The diameter is also longer as well, which the text bubble seems to be in the way of.
To add onto arcs issues about consistency, I'd like to quote my previous issues I had as I don't think they were properly addressed. For the first point, the pillar has an inconsistent height between both of the scans used to px scale.

I addressed this part up above. The front of the pillar appears smaller due to the rising of the roof. We can see this from the other angles too.

There are portions of the mountain that aren't accounted for in the volume anyway due to the stepped-nature of the mountain; this ought to balance out any missing bits with the pixelscaling that are cut off like with the text bubble to the side.
