Well we have 2 staff agreeing and one neutral and nobody has brought any significant arguments against it so maybe one or two more staff members input should be fine.

I mean if nobody else brings any objections to this we can probably get this applied.

If nobody comments by tomorrow morning, I'll just directly message someone by this point. This isn't even the first time a situation like this has happened with my threads.

so long story short this will upgrade the people who are high 3-a to low 2-c?

Yep. They’re gonna be “at least low 2-C” more specifically, half 2-C.

The thought just crossed my mind, but assuming this goes through how would this affect All Alicorn Twilight and above? To my recollection, people with an "at least" rating can be 2-C if their power doubles.

Can you summarize the proposed changes?

Assuming the scaling goes through, everyone who is High 3-A would be At Least Low 2-C via being comparable to baseline 2-Cs through a variety of scaling scans. For instance: The Pony of Shadows finding the power of Daybreaker difficult to control, Nightmare Moon being powerful enough to challenge the Pony of Shadows and being able to hold back the Beam of Harmony, a weakened Eris defeating the Pony of Shadows alongside Daybreaker, Star Swirl beam clashing with the Pony of Shadows on multiple occasions, all of which showcase a level of relativity that High 3-A is simply not capable of.
All Alicorn Twilight and above might become 2-C due to how at least rankings works in tier 2. Oh, yeah, and the Elements of Harmony would lose their "fragile when not being used" edit. All this said however, I don't think a short summary does the arguments justice (Mostly because those aren't my forte).

Firestorm's not on at the moment, should be on later. No need to bump, only to wait now that someone's actually commented.

Do you have the comic sources for the scans?

I got all my scans from read comics online.

Or wait, did you want me to post the scaling images instead?

What comic issue did the scans come from?

Nightmare Knights Issue 4 and Legends of Magic Annual 1, the latter being where Star Swirl clashes with the Pony of Shadows, and the former has every other scan I used.

Magic, not Everfree.
And no, not anymore. Things are different now and the majority of the comics are fair game.

Was there a new announcement that I missed or are we doing composite profiles?

We had a discussion thread talking about their canonicity and it got approved. Now the comics are secondary canon (Except Season 10 which is explicitly primary canon) and can be used as long as they don't break continuity.

So another "Half 2-C" stuff? I thought we got rid of such rating and make such characters only unquantifiably below 2-C, or better, unquantifiably above baseline Low 2-C.

Well, super sonic is considered “half 2-C” for scaling to merging 2 universes
- 6,937
- 6,679
I see. I'll have to re-look at the scaling chains we have now.
- 12,440

So you can be just only from downscaling from a 2-C. Got it.

So, does that mean you're fine with the proposals and now the only thing left is the scaling chains?

Sorry, but I still need clarification. I'd like to avoid keeping this thread dragged out longer than it needs to be.

I'm fine with changing the High 3-A to Low 2-C.
- 165,117

I suppose that it seems to probably be fine then, yes.
However, I would like to confirm with members who understand our tiering system well first.
@QuasiYuri @Elizhaa
What do you think about this?

Would that be because you likely don't know the series well enough to comment on power scaling between it's individual characters? Because if that's the problem, then that's not what Antvasima was asking. Just wanted to clarify.
