Mega Man (Classic) ratings

[Dust_Collector]

So classic Mega Man characters are rated as Small Planet level+ due to this feat.

The problem is that neither of the results of the calc justifies this rating, with the low end being 3 Zettatons which would be Small Planet level without the plus, and the high end is 29.6 Yottatons which is Large Planet level (My only guess for this is that the 29.6 Yottatons was misread as 29.6 Zettatons). Unless I'm missing something they shouldn't be Small Planet level+, either they should have the plus removed or be rated as Large Planet level.

Hmm... you have a point. I think the ratings were added before the AP Revisions we did a while back.

I'm pretty sure that Small Planet level is more consistent.

Not that I disagree, but what even is considered a "+" now?

@Bruce

It's a rating approaching the upper-end of a tier without going over it, so on the line between them.

I meant what would be considered close to it? Mega Man is a little over 1/20th the way out of the tier in a tier that is 137x wide, so I'm curious at to what percentage of the next tier qualifies you for the + in the lower tier?

Currently misused to an extraordinary degree on the wiki, the "+" symbol should only be used when the Attack Potency has been calculated to be greater than the average (arithmetic mean) of the high end energy level and low end energy level of a particular tier.

Example: Average of Large Building level is: [2 Tons (low end) + 11 tons (high end)]/2 = 6.5 Tons (the arithmetic mean). All energy levels from 2 Tons to 6.5 Tons should be listed as Large Building level, whereas all energy levels from 6.5 Tons to 11 Tons should be listed as Large Building level+.

How does this wiki treat low and high ends for calcs? I personally would say it sould be At least Low 5-B, possibly 5-A. Aside from Guts Man creating earthquakes, there arn't too many destructive feats in classic Mega Man to my knowlage (At least in the games), meaning it's not technically an outlier.
