Most downplayed character, in your opinion

I'm guessing it's Low 1-C cuz of all the various cosmologies in it? Like the Yggdrasil, Greek Mythology's multiple planes of existence, etc.?
 
Yggdrasil transcends the countless universes found in its physical form.

The power of Brazil.
Hakumen was sent to Brazil
 
Gon gets MAD downplayed. His base form feat is comparable to his strongest Adult Gon feat. His speed is fine but I lean closer to 220,000,000 mph then 220,000 mph.
 
Outside the wiki, Dante and Kratos are big ones I've seen downplayed big time. Kratos I can understand, since SethTheProgrammer stanned for something like 2-B to upwards of High 2-A Kratos and he tends to spark a bit of controversy like with his 500× multiplier Full Power Super Saiyan, but one of my friends said Dante's only like Multi-City Block scaling from a demon in the anime that he defeated (even though Dante was basically MCB before even unlocking his Devil Trigger lol)
I think another reason is thor in GoW able to damage Yggdrasil which has low 1-C tier. and some fans think kratos would beat thor in the next GoW game.
 
Outside the wiki unironically Satoru Gojo gets downplayed (yet also wanked)really bad

With people trying to nerf him down to building level and that punching really hard can get past his defense based on making practically infinite distance between him and the attacker.
If you say that someone punching really hard is irrelevant because it’s hax and they need a more specific method of attack to bypass it now it’s suddenly NLF.
 
Someone tried to genuinely argue that the SCP Foundation is featless because "Words aren't feats."

I have no idea what went through that dude's mind that day.

Well I have heard that there are 2 versions of Yggdrasil...True version that is 5D and physical avatar version which is 2B....and this is the one that Thor supposedly splintered......and the physical version seems to have collections of timeline I think??....so since one can't evaluate exactly how many 4D constructs were destroyed in the process....the gods have to make do with low ends of 2C rating.

These are the reasons I have read on this wiki when I had the same question.

They probably lack any imagination, it's like they need to see something happen on screen because novels can't be strong with just "words".
Though I agree that SCP gets downplayed, I couldn't even begin to count the amount of times someone has said that Godzilla can beat SCP 682 or that the Doom Slayer can stalemate 682 forever
 
A lot of people hear on Tv that nuclear war could destroy humanity and reinterpret it as nukes can blow up the Earth.

Fanfiction writers often have no idea, how strong a character is, and their biggest victim in therms of downplaying seems to be Sonic the Hedgehog. He often gets downgraded to 9-C or even 10-A. I've seen not 1, not 2, but 3 fanfics, where Sonic gets killed/defeated by metrocops from Half-Life 2. I have also seen fics, where Sonic gets beaten by: demons from Doom, Vega from Street Fighter, Nemesis from Resident Evil and more.

And if you think, that super Sonic is safe, too bad, because there is a fic, where super Sonic gets beaten by a minor Nanoha character. All of these use either game or Archie Sonic by the way.

In actual versus debates, unlike fanfics, I have more often seen Sonic getting wanked, than downplayed.

Other insane fanfic downplays include: Twilight Sparkle being unable to beat an imp from Doom, Supergirl being beaten by a random One Punch Man monster, Kantai Collection characters being beaten by a normal Whale, Rem beating Madara, the entire Naruto verse losing to a battalion of WWI soldiers, because of bullets and poison gas.

Also, I've seen a fanfic where the author was completely convinced that federation ships from Star Trek don't have any weapons stronger that 1 Megaton, which looks like a downplay, even though I know nothing about Star Trek.

In therms of insane downplay in actual versus and power scaling debates:

  • Matpat from Game Theory thinks that Sonic is slower than sound
  • I've seen a guy on FF.net argue that Kenpachi is featles and would lose to Edward Cullen
  • There is a youtuber, who thinks, that Kars can solo the Naruto verse
  • There is a vs battle on Deviantart, where the Auditor from Madness Combat beats Lord Tirek
  • There are people who argue, that 1 trillion lions can beat all 800+ pokemons, simply due to numerical advantage
  • One stupid article claimed that Killua can beat Ichigo (the author clearly had no idea, how to scale Ichigo, so it's more of a Ichigo downplay, than Killua wank)
  • A youtuber have said, that Donkey Kong is as strong as a normal gorilla
I know this is late but
Fanfiction shouldnt be counted since they were made by fans
Matpat and his shitty game, movie and even food theories are trash tho, we all know that
1 trillion lions vs 890 pokemon that have superpowers and ***** lol
That stupid article is from CBR
 
Since there is a most wanked character in your opinion, I thought of the fun idea of who is the most downplayed character in your opinion (people who deliberately tries to make a character weak due to personal bias).

Put your thoughts down below and as always keep it civil please.
While this isn't a downplay, I feel like the regular Mario world is actually around Low 1-C

Now before you think I'm being ridiculous, I do have an argument to make

In Mario & Luigi Paper Jam, Paper Mario, along with all of the other Paper beings, are sent out of the book they live in

In Super Paper Mario, this book is established as a Multiverse in of itself as it has multiple universes, and dimensions, along with the Afterlife also existing there. All of this existing in a single book

So if that's the case, then the standard Mario universe should be above that by at least a dimension, or 2, so classic Mario we know should probably be at least Low 1-C
