MK Verse Stat Boost

Did it!!! Although I might be wrong on some parts, I think my overall conclusion is right. Considering the idea that realms in MK are considered kinda equal in size, I assumed that Netherrealm must be around the same size as Earth. So I pixel scaled the island to the radius of the globe since the end point of the island luckily hit around the surface. With all of that considered and a lot o' math, I got that the size of the island is 2,454 miles long and 673 miles wide!

But the last thing I did was take into account that it took 40-45 minutes for the island to sink, so maybe this is wrong (probs very wrong) but I did 2,454/40 which equals 61 miles long and 673/40 which equals 17 miles wide for an immediate output so small city level. Again, I might be very wrong on this part so don't take it too seriously.
 
So in case you guys are wondering, the island level feat actually translates to the people who fought Shang Tsung and above as small city level.
 
I... guess. Still not entirely sure, but I believe similar feats have turned up similar results in the past regarding islands, so it sounds plausible, and it's not really an outlier, so... Small City, Hypersonic MK top tiers I suppose.

sorry i don't have time to read al lof this, but shang tsung's island is pretty small for an island


I doubt you'd get above ~city level for its destruction, if that

I ended up getting city level anyway so it's all good bruh.
 
Soooo, anyone got any verdicts for me? Shall small city level MK characters stay? I'm still currently waiting for ClassicGameGuys to get back to me regarding his hypersonic calc, so until then we should probably just focus on the island destroying feat.
 
Also some people who aren't Liu Kang would get a boost, so that's great too.

I don't know about you, but small city level Sonya is just the coolest thing.
 
Yeah. So listing it off, the people who scale to this are:

.Sonya

.Johnny

.Liu Kang

.Jax

.Probably Kitana (She beat Shang Tsung but it's very likely he wanted her to so I probably wouldn't try to scale this)

.Everyone above Shang Tsung
 
I'd look into the circumstances surrounding each victory/ies to be sure nothing special was able to help make those victories come about.
 
All right then. Unless some of the other staff members have objections, I suppose that Small City level might be acceptable. However, as DontTalk said, Raiden's feat does not appear to be Hypersonic, only sub-sonic+, so it is invalid.

Thank you. This thread was alot of fun.

I've looked through them all, and the only one questionable was Kitana's victory becasue it's possible Shang Tsung may have wanted her to win.
 
I already know you don't object, it's just I need more staff members to agree before I can put this to an end.

Edit: Soooooo...Should I change it? I'm not sure. I still haven't gotten any other verdicts yet.
 
Let's wait until we get some responses.
 
No problem. This might take a few days.
 
I don't think sonya should scale to this imo, neither should Jax Pre MKX (either that or Sindel was massively weakened from losing the souls Shang Tsung had absorbed), which i think is plausible)


Johnny should only get it with green energy mojo
 
Also fairly certain liu kang only beat restricted shang tsung but with the timeline mess who knows anymore
 
The whole point of the scan is that it shows Shang Tsung could have done this in his restricted form.

Sonya scales to it for beating and living through attacks by stronger people than Shang Tsung. Same deal with Jax.
 
Sindel was nerfed and Jax was still below Ermac until the rematch (a nerfed Ermac at that)


still no reason Sonya should be scaled to this, she has less reasoning for it than Johnny does.
 
The whole point is that during MK tournaments and such Shang Tsung's power is heavily restricted. The tournaments have been taking place on his island for thousands of years while Shang Tsung still manages to keep it holding. Therefore, it's likely he could have still destroyed it even in his restricted form.

What does Sindel have to do with this? And she wasn't nerfed. MK9 buffed her to high hell, because she was carrying all of Shang Tsung's power plus her own.

Sonya beat Quan Chi effortlessly. Quan Chi is superior to Shang Tsung. Even then, if you don't think that's enough, she beat both Kitana and Jade on her own. While Kitana's victory over Shang Tsung is mildly suspicious, she still would have been killed by Shang Tsung, had she not pummeled the guy. And Jade managed to beat Baraka, then moments later she beat Sheeva, then moments later she beat Mileena, then right after that she beat Smoke. Jade is also very capable.

While maybe the Jade part doesn't really prove anything, her beating Kitana does.
 
I'm still a bit unsure of the Shang Tsung thing. Isn't it possible that even if this is only his restricted power holding the island realm togther, the majority of his power is being used to do that while the rest is put into fighting? I don't know how heavily that would drain his energy. It also depends on if he consciously holds the island together or if it's just an automatic process.
 
Nothing against MK, but the mass powerscale is a bad idea.
 
i don't know about the powerscaling, but the individual stat updates for the characters who have produced said feat are ok...
 
Man that powerscaling tho. From what Illumanitati said though, i think that the characters who did said feats that were mentioned above should defintely get the upgrade.
 
i think individual stats would be better because powerscaling would be bad due to MK having their fights being inconsistent as anyone can beat anyone in the series

as for restricted shang tsung being small city level idk about that as it does seem reasonable if he was doing it with his power and there was nothing helping him or suggesting something was helping him

but of course if it is never said or implied he was restricted then no there should be no upgrade
 
Minor point, the restricted/unrestricted thing only really seems to work for guys like Kahn, Raiden, Shinnok, Onaga....etc....


It doesn't work for the great Hsu Hao sadly.
 
I am obviously fine with upgrading characters that performed any specific feats.
