The thing is is that while that 11-C is more accurate Kengan is peak 10-B and I want my characters to be higher

This is what happens when people do not accept dimension scaling a thing.
But when Masaru shows more direct feats in besting Digimon than Ash Ketchum does to Pokémon, this does at least show Masaru Daimon -mon is stronger than Ash. This is even just intuitive thoughts available after watching the anime.

Technically Death Battle has god tier Digimon characters at "two universe" level.
Without dimension scaling, however, Arceus vs King Yggy would actually turn out to be space-time overlord vs space-sand-space-only overlord. Quite ironic.

That's technically not a god tier Digimon character, I meant this one.
Btw, wrong link, that's the 2020 reboot character. Death Battle used this Taichi.

(Thanks for the reminders.)
Great. Death Battle has not yet even brought up the god-god tier Digimon.
Back to Digimon, ... well is the Gen 1 and Gen 5 the most known Digimon generation? Which are the most famous and what are your most favorite? And which generation is the weakest? And... really back to topic, which is the most downplayed?

Digimon don't really have generations. Speaking of anime people mostly talks about seasons like Adventure, 02, Tamers (3rd season), Data Squad (5th season). Of course there are game and manga series too. Adventure (1st) and Tamers(3rd) are most famous ones but my favorite is Data Squad/Savers (5th).
Personally I think characters from Frontier anime are most downplayed, mostly because some people only remember the final villain destroying 3 Moons and scales them to only that level

Digimon is less "generations" and more "These things are all happening in alternate universes and timelines"
As far as weakest goes, that would have to be the Appmons
Tamers (Which takes place in a universe where the events of Adventure 01 and 02 are fiction) is probably my favorite.
Savers/Data Squad gets downplayed a lot because Masaru can punch Digimon, treating that as "Digimon are weak" rather than "Wow, this kid is strong"
Him and his dad were both out of the ordinary.
I think the strongest Digimon series so far is XrossWars/Hunters, but that one doesn't get talked about a lot because they basically ditched Digivolution for Fusion. Nothing but Shoutmon X 3-7

Also outside of anime, counting main villain strongest would be Cyber Sleuth since Mother Eater.
But only counting Digimon character I personally think either Next or Chronicle X are the strongest.

Back to downplayed characters.
Try to comment:
We used to think universe level Dante (and by extent god tier Devil May Cry) is wank. Now it is considered downplay thanks to Peak of Combat.
However, there are still people convincing their downplay on Dante (likely island, at most multi-continent) and even some professionals buy their crap.

Death Battle Predictions: Hellboy VS Nero

Some G1 bloggers who do Death Battle prediction blogs make up their own debate on some battles not yet confirmed by Death Battle yet.
On one match, in assessing Nero vs Hellboy, they believed universe level Dante is wank and misinterpreted.
Liam Swan, a staff of Rooster Teeth writing episodes for Death Battle, said a few days ago he was not agreeing to the statement that "Liam buys Uni DMC and Vergil now scales to Dante".
This could mean Dante is not universe level, or just Vergil does not scale from EOS Dante.
Liam Swan is a well-respected Death Battle researcher so I am shocked he make such a mistake should that Reddit reply be legit.

Just gonna put Kratos on the line for being one of the few characters that get downplayed to hell and back for the sake of being downplayed for a number of dumb reasons I can't even fathom exist to begin with. Some are still stuck on sub-Mountain level Kratos just because one blog about the gameplay from Sony claims busting mountains being too much for rusty Norse Kratos, even though in-game lore feats say otherwise, and people keep complaining about it using too much Word of God, when in reality, it actually doesn't, if anything it only uses Word of God for additional clarification on things already present in the source material like the games, guidebooks, bonus artwork, actual artbooks, comics, actual interviews, bonus discs and stuff, just so that people don't go about making dumb circular arguments.

Tbh it's okay if no one outside believes 1C DMC,
A) people don't even bother with dimensional stuff... so at best it's just some wierd physiology and nothing to do with power.
B) This higher dimensions crap isn't popular knowledge outside of wiki circle much..... while Universal DMC is popular atleast for its notoriety for nearly half a decade. With sizable portion of community atleast willing to give it a chance upon looking at evidence and hearing the arguements, which I would still consider a generosity.

yeah also most of them are cherrypicking to suit their own narrative.

To this very day, plenty of people still treat Greek Kratos and Norse Kratos as two separate characters furthermore Kratos usually gets split again but it's gameplay and lore.
I seriously don't get how some people STILL use game mechanics/gameplay (unless explicitly stated otherwise) as the main canon source for videogame characters and Kratos still gets the worst of it in a few circles.

Cutscene-only fanatics are literally everywhere, even though we literally had a thread recently dictating that going cutscene-only is not only ridiculously stupid, but it defeats the whole purpose of a video game being a video game. If Kratos could do literally all the lore-based feats within the game, there would be no balance anymore, nor would there be the need to elongate the game to give the game a good narrative because he'd ******* flatten the entire pantheon in seconds (Not that it's not possible, it absolutely is, speedrunners have been doing that since the inception of the first game in 2005).
This applies to any video game honestly, where most feats can only be obtained via gameplay. Of course, realism can often times play a factor but most games rely on gameplay to further push the narrative. Unless you wanna tell me Sephiroth's Supernova can't be used because it's gameplay only, which would completely defeat the whole purpose of the boss fight.

Keeping out physical and speed feats.
People still think Kratos is a dumb angry dude who swings his blades like butcher.
His skill and intelligence is severely underestimated. That is something which is more blasphemous for me imo.

Forget skill and intelligence, the fact that literally most people don't even know why Kratos is who he is makes my blood boil tenfold more. They think he only got depth in GOW2018 because it went the TLOU way of "Father and Son", which is clearly not ******* true if anyone with enough time and resources made the effort to play all the Greek games in order, literally the first thing Kratos does in the first game is to try and take his own life because the Gods would not rid him of the nightmares of him murdering his own wife and child in a blood frenzy.

Yeah that's another can of worms. Kratos is a one dimensional character with a personality of a cardboard. He only screams and swings his blades.

Even before the Norse era, Kratos was already more than just a big angry dude that mindless kills people because "angry".
*Tortured by the loss of his wife and child while being physically, mentally and spiritual marked by the trauma for years.
*Losing his (true) brother then finding him, only to lose him again.
*Was forced to kill one of the few people that truly wanted to help him (Orkos).
*Actually developed a sense of preservation after meeting Pandora and wanted to protect her (keep in mind this during his rampage of Olympus).

No need, I have seen it first-hand. People were literally trying to make calcs for Chie Satonaka to downgrade her and all of Persona to 9-B or some shit, even used characterrant links as support. Their desperation knows no bounds.

For me it's 50/50. SMT is either treated as one of the most powerful videogame verses out there with Demi-fiend being usually treated as the kingpin OR they get put at building level+ (max) with all the higher end feats/lore being treated as environmental destruction, outliers, flowery language or all three!
It doesn't help some who believe SMT and Persona are indeed in the same cosmology, use the anti-feats as well as the social sim aspect of Persona to drag down the entire verse (the blessings and curses of an originally niche franchise becoming popular with the normies).

This isn’t a character, but I notice it with the Battlestar reimagining. Prepare for a rant.
Not even much of a fan (at least not enough to make it through Caprica), but I’ve seen people unironically say a modern warship could stomp the Galactica with a levelled playing field (i.e, the ship and Galactica in space if they could both survive, or the ship and Galactica in water) just because it uses technology similar to 80s era Apple and a manual gunnery crew.
For some context, the Galactica is 1.4 km long, can space-fold (teleportation) even if it’s plunging through an atmosphere at re-entry speeds, armed with nuclear missiles (half a dozen or so can obliterate everything in a 20 km radius)/hundreds of gigantic anti-air flak cannons (capable of traversing many times its own length in seconds), often takes kiloton to megaton nuclear strikes (albeit with heavy damage because it’s more about strong plating areas and size), and has with cannons way larger and faster than any cannon on Earth.
The technology on the Galactica is so outdated because A) the Cylons can infiltrate even the most basic technology, and B) it’s non-networked (even though they can actually network their computers to vastly enhance the speed). This doesn’t really stop them from making the calculations to teleport across light-years, targeting locations from orbit or shooting down fleets of fighters and volleys of nuclear missiles.
However, I’d say the Galactica’s less advanced aircraft (without their nuclear missiles, which isn’t even that common to have) would be a very good match for at least semi-modern fighters in a 1v1.
