Large Size Calculations - Different species

[Ogurtsow]

Greetings. I'd like to ask on how to calculate the tiers of non-humanoid large-sized characters. The thing is the two tables listed on the Large Size Calculations page are mainly focused on humanoid characters. The results for species I'm going to talk about would obviously be different due to the differences in mass-size ratio. The peak sizes of certain characters are already known, as the nature of the Tasty-verse allows you to see the sizes of anything throughout the entire series. We only need to decide what tiers do they belong to at their largest extents.

Here're the scans (or screen captures to be exact) for the Tasty-verse characters:

Tasty Blue

• Goldfish: about 108 meters. It later grows up to about 199 meters in Tale of a Shark.
• Dolphin: about 321 meter. Its size in Tales of a Shark is significantly smaller though, so I didn't include that.
• Nano-Shark: about 318 meters when it completes the stage where it faced the Goldfish and the Dolphin, and now gets close to absorb the Earth's crust. It survives the Earth's explosion while being about 6.72 megameters. The level ends when it reaches about 15.9 megameters. No, it's not over yet. In the end cutscene, it appears to be roughly four or five sizes of Saturn. The size of Saturn is 116.460 kilometers. The size of OTS 44, the required object to be destroyed in order to be considered High 5-A, is 320.020 kilometers. There's no doubt the Nano-Shark gets larger than enough to absorb OTS 44 at the very end.

Tasty Planet Forever

• Cleaning Cat: about 1.07 kilometers.
• Octopus: about 182 meters.
• White Rat: about 29.4 meters.
• Super Bee: about 13.1 megameters.
• Basking Shark: about 74.5 meters.
• Dingo: about 37.2 meters.
• Penguin: about 3.72 kilometers.

Since you're the one who created the Large Size Calculations page, could you please take a look at this thread?

I will ping him, @DontTalkDT

I feel like the Attack Potency section of the page explains how one would calculate it for non-human things?

Like, upscale from the corresponding real-life animal. If the animal is x-times large in the verse than in reality, its weight is likely x^3 times larger in the verse than in reality.

Then either figure out the speed for KE or figure out how high up its center of mass is for GPE.
For the latter... well, either you can find one on google or you will have to do a conservative estimate of the center of mass.

 

[Ogurtsow]

Understandable. Should their center of mass be just half of their height? I tried to calculate this way, and the results seem pretty realistic for me.

 

[DontTalkDT]

For the octopus I would maybe use 1/3rd, but aside from that 1/2 should be fine.

gray goo apparently should(possibly)1-B high

Nah. As a big fan of the Tasty Planet series, I'd say that's too far.

• Basking Shark: about 74.5 meters.
• Dingo: about 37.2 meters.
• Penguin: about 3.72 kilometers.

The Goldfish, Cleaning Cat, Basking Shark, and Dingo should be easy to assess, but for the others, I'd base them on the animals that are stereotypically used if you're looking for a size reference. These are as follows:

Dolphin: Bottlenose Dolphin
Nano-Shark: Bull Shark (since it doesn't look anything like a Great White)
Octopus: Giant Octopus (basically the plainest-looking octopus I can think of)
White Rat: Norway Rats
Super Bee: Either a bumblebee or a European Honeybee would work.
Penguin: Adelie Penguin

that was made literraly when i was a new here
