I have several problems with the tiers given and their justifications. I am going to go through a few which should affect most of the ones comparable. I surprisingly don't really have a problem with most of the tier 4's, but several of the others are problamatic for me.
First off, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Spike the Drago. They are all listed at MCB level. AB and SB's justifications are for being comparable to other ponies. Okay, I don't know what random ponies are MCB level (though I am aware that the pegasai are Island level for the clouds), but even if they were, these two are kids. Unless you are an idiot, you should know that kids are way weaker than adults, so at the very least that's a horrible justification. I qould wait them at 10-C to 10-B, though if there are feats that so them being higher I can be swayed. Spike's Attack Potency pre wings is fine, but that's only with his fire breath, his physical striking strength shouldn't scale, so that's another problem I have. I also don't remember any durability feats that would put him on that level. This also affects Fluttershy, who is listed as being MCB level for being stronger than Spike, even though, again, the MCB rating comes from his fire breath and not his physical punches, and I see no reason at all to believe that her own striking power is stronger than his fire breath.
Now, Rainbow Dash has a country level rating because of this, which is fine, but it's being treated as her default AP and SS when it should only be when she is using the Sonic Rainboom. Her standard AP and SS should be island level to large island level like the other pegasai. This is especially bad because it affects the rating of multiple characters who scale to her, including Shining Armor, who's magical attacks I doubt are as powerful as her SR even though he should as stated be stronger than her otherwise, and possibly Queen Chrysalis, who should also in my opinion be Island level prior to absorbing his love for Cadence. The Sonic Rainboom is her most powerful technique and it increases her power dramatically. If I go flying in at a far higher speed than I normally go, obviously that's gonna do much more damage. She should have her regular AP and striking strength at Island level with a note that her SR puts her at Country level. I'm not sure about her durability, as I am unsure if activating her SR would enhance her durability when she uses it, so I am not sure if that needs to be changed or not.
Finally, Starswirl the Bearded's SS and Durability. His AP with his magic makes sense given that he was able to left a star with great difficulty when helped by 11 other unicorns, but I don't see how his physical blows are comparable to his magical attacks, nore do I recall him being hit with any star level attacks. Before you mention the Pony of Shadows, I don't recall any of his attacks actually hitting Starswirl, but getting repelled by his own magic.
These are my assesments. I would like thoughts on this. If there is anything I was wrong on, even if I screwed up this whole thing (though I don't see how that's possible), please explain.
