Multiplier Question

Let’s say that one character gets into a fight with an enemy comically stronger than they are. Like, the character is so much weaker than the enemy that one punch makes them makes them vomit up copious amounts of blood and a brutal beatdown from the enemy makes leaves them only able to move via sheer force of will and a f__kton of adrenaline. However, when the character activates a technique that amplifies their strength twofold, the character is suddenly capable of putting up a relatively even fight with the enemy and consistently blocking their attacks. Would this be considered a contradictory multiplier?

If pre-multiplier they're only surviving these hits through sheer force of will, and are otherwise being completely curbstomped then post-multiplier putting up an even fight should be fine unless there's inconsistencies.

if there was another unrelated character to this interaction who could hurt the enemy and in turn harm the character without the same stomping effects, that would be a contradictory multiplier.

I don't think it would be contradictory

For consistent multipliers, it would be used the agreed 8x AP difference for a character to one shot another, the Character B you gave isn't one shotting Character A, so he's less than 8x times stronger

2x to 7x times stronger would generally not change much, all would be low diffing the weaker character while 8x would be no diffing by one shotting them

If character A actually became like 50x times stronger just to keep up with Character B, then unless Character B was holding back/playing around, then the multiplier is inconsistent

Uh forgot to mention this, but Character B actually is messing around for most of the fight for sadism’s sake and is shown to no-sell Character A’s most powerful base attacks, but is shown to have to get somewhat serious once Character A activates the double amp. Would that change anything?

Not rlly. If Character B even casually is stomping character A, and character B has to actually take the fight seriously once the twotime multiplier sets in then it's still not a contradictory multiplier.
