no it doesn't ? This isn't time stop , you don't affect a single thing, you affect many at once.
Verses with a time stop that's limited to a select area or target aren't unheard of, and it having a smaller AoE doesn't mean it's stronger or weaker by itself, for instance.
Then those time stops are aoe limited. As long as they don't specifically have a number of people it can affect at once it still stop a single thing :time. Just in a more limited area and thus it would fall under range .
there's nothing to explain, they simply ARE, just as much as you wouldn't call fire and water the same, those abilities have two different effects with different mechanics to them that affect two very different things
Mind haxing an infinite number of people isn't 4d
More as in more people affected? yeah that will become baseline most likely and is only gonna be a range feat
"Hax is a catch-all term for abilities that can be used to ignore/bypass one or more of a target's statistics, rendering them irrelevant."
Except that if there's such a lack of limit to how many can be affected then there's no potency increase in the first place, unless now you want to claim that anyone that does Sleep Manipulation by singing now has exponentially higher potency the more people are subject to it, which is a fat no, as that would be like saying that a character's AP raises the more targets there are in the middle of its attack, which is unfounded at best, my point is that just a baseline mindhax is done by default regardless of the number of targets.
Yes, both powers do very unrelated things, but the point is that there's no reason to arbitrarily pick mind manipulation as a power reliant on the number of targets then relate that number to an amount of resistance layers, that act is overall silly and out of standard with no good reason, I've already described before how this kind of act just doesn't work, using time stop as an example, you could change "time stop" here to Mind Manip, Fate Manip or several other kinds of hax abilities and the point would remain the same, as I'm relying on the semantics to how resistance scaling goes, not how the power itself affects a target, it's hax and all, so physical stats are irrelevant here unless you're higher-d.
Sleep manip is sub-set of mind manip , so yes it would . Being able to put to sleep multiple persons is better than being limited to putting 1.
While it's better and all, how many it affects isn't related to the potency, again, it's just range.
It's not
I mean, so does matter manip and we focus on the level of matter being manipulated (molecule, atom, quantum...), not how much matter is manipulated, and even then cases that target the time, fate, etc of a particular target aren't unheard of, and even then cases with a "worse" or "focused" range aren't necessarily stronger or weaker than a "universal" one.
it's not range . Characther A have two opponents and can only mind hax one, no matter how close or far they are. Characther B have two opponents and can mind hax both. None of the opponents have any feat of mind hax resistance.
That varies on how the mind hax works, again, but the thing is that not all forms of mindhax are actively/passively sustained in the first place and just affect the target, not every verse even bothers explaining how the mind hax works beyond it just doing so. Character B can have the same level of mindhax as A if it was based on, for example, making those within an area hear something, in such case the limitation would be the range, and not how many people are around, nor the potency to begin with.
By default, yes
What about if one of the characters is strictly shown to have a limit of 1 at a time whereas the other character can mind control significantly more people to the same degree?
The ones that can mindhax more than one in a fashion that is "direct" (aka, actively/passively imposing some power, rather than just doing soemthing that keeps them mindhaxed anyways like the example of the noise) could be above the potency of the one that only can do a single one, but the amount would be unquantificable, nor would it bypass a baseline resistance by default.
nope, according to Bobiscan , mind haxxing 1 person is the same as mind haxxing infinite ammount of people .
Yes, this nerfs mind hax drastically for most characters, however, it also greatly buffs some characters, namely those who have hax that overcomes a lot of resistances.
It's his EE that makes him "powerful", not his mind hax that affected like 5 people at once
No his mind manipulation was upgraded to multiversal range, his EE is extremely out of character, I don't even think it exists.
If the soul manip change happens does that mean "soul crush gg" is no longer a thing for bleach to almost anyone with resistance to soul manip?
