First, I understand that it would be best to wait if a much bigger revision is on the way, but at the same time, nothing really forbids other revisions to be made before. Doing CRTs is a right to every user, and unless both parties come to an agreement out of politeness or shared views, we can't outright close a thread for this reason alone.
I also invite everyone, but especially you BlackDarkness, my friend, to keep a respectful tone. I know how some things can go under the skin at times, but heating up doesn't serve any cause, it pushes your arguments backwards and shows you under a bad light.
Now, I want to address the op and some more arguments myself.
I'll personally contact some calc members to see what they think, but in the meanwhile, I'll share some thoughts.
Whether or not we should just consider the actual destruction or the proper countering of the meteor's KE, will be left to the calc members' judgement.
I agree that the flurry of punches shouldn't be considered as a diminisher, as they only chip off some fringes out of the meteor. From my perspective, Jack attempts first to halt the course of the meteor with an initial tackle, which fails. Then proceeds to try and destroy it, but seeing as little effective it is, it goes for the only remaining choice, i.e. thrusting at it with its full power, and only then we see the formation of cracks and the ultimate destruction of the meteor.
I agree that it shouldn't be considered his standard output of energy, otherwise he wouldn't have needed a special attack, which was also helped by his thrusters.
So, Jack itself and all the characters who scale to it under normal standards (such as battling it), could perfectly scale to the second highest feat available to them.
Still, the feat could scale to upper tiers too, and not only to Jack-6's maximum output through its super charge. In Tekken 7, we see base Heihachi and Akuma
curbstomping a whole squad of Jack-6's, meaning their AP could overall scale above their durability, which caps at whatever the meteor feat gives.
However, I do admit we don't see the Jack-6 being outright shattered, like it happened
with Jack-4s before.
As others have said, this isn't a reason to forbid scaling, unless the highest feat is outright contradicted in relevant instances.
It's not a secret I've never really been sold on those statements, but I believe they should be evaluated on their own, as they are already just a possibly.
I do admit Demon Jinpachi's feat could cause some troubles.
On one hand, we have the storm unfolding the moment he powers up, and cease to exist once he dies, but on the other hand it's difficult to tell a clear connection between it and his power level.
Maybe we should judge it through our
Stabilization Feats rules, and try to dive in a little more into the lore, to see if we missed some mechanism of sort.
I'll leave Kazumi's ratings for another time, as it doesn't seem a really pressing matter, and this CRT already tackles a lot.
First, I can't find a calc for Panda's feat, so at most it should be redone and kept up to current standards.
Also, I don't think grunts and such are examples of struggle. We do babble sounds even while lifting or exerting outputs of force that are well within our capabilities, and at the same time they are used to give color to the scene, instead of just having the characters stand speechless.
To say a character struggles to perform something, I think they should be properly shown as tired or in difficulty.
Also, having several Class 50/100 feats and one K, isn't that much of a leap, as others said.
This is also kinda weird, I must say, and I actually never noticed it.
By words alone, cellular compounds aren't exactly the same as pure strength, but at the same time the context seems to refer to its power, as they aren't dissecting the devil gene on a scientific manner, just commenting on it. More than outright scrap it, I believe we could at the very least use it as a "likely" rating.
I disagree with this.
Fighting games endings, just like what ifs from other media, should still be considered as things that could have happened, unless contradicted by canon events.
About Feng's ending, more than it being canon or not, I guess we should focus on the fact that he performs the feat after seemingly being empowered by Jinpachi's scroll, although I lack knowledge on the item itself.
