Well, yeah lol.
Assuming this gets accepted, it would slightly downgrade the rating itself, as in the 6-B calc's value, but it has no real bearing on the scaling chain itself.

It would/should. We calculated a size on Marineford's angle. We need to bring this size next to some wave, that's why we should use the rings near each other. It's basically what Damage did here, with the channel end and beginning. He calculated the size of the channel and brought this size to a different angle. And it's what I'm doing here.
Maybe.

I don’t know if this is the thread for that maybe message some cgm or make another thread
But this is interesting seems like there’s a flaw in the formula or something

I genuinely think this is a case of "it's fiction" because even in general, earthquakes in real life can't exceed a magnitude of 10.5, yet here we are.

I already contacted @DontTalkDT to explain about this. He seems busy so we need to wait.

The Shima feat is a no brainer: it is invalid. Blackbear "pulls" on the air to lift the seafloor. That is textbook Lifting Strength and probably the awakened form of the fruit. Someone calc the weight lifted to get a pretty insane result. It isn't applicable to AttackPotency.

It's an earthquake. You can calculate the AP of an earthquake, as well as the AP of a tsunami resulting from an earthquake, so this makes no sense to not be an AP feat.

That tsunami wasn’t triggered by the Earthquake itself (which happened 13 km away from the bay where the tsunami happened btw). It was triggered by massive amounts of debris falling into the water. It is even said in your original article and in the Wikipedia article.
The method I found assumes that the earthquake’s epicentre itself produces the tsunami. In other words, it is the displacement of a fault (fault is a tectonic crack in the Earth fyi) that must directly produce the tsunami and that said fault/crack has to be underwater.
It is why I said in my original calc that the tsunami had to be produced by the upthrust of the seafloor, and not anything else.

Why don't we add the values of all the tsunami's formed though, and just one?

Because these Tsunamis are done via affecting the seafloor. Sending energy thousands of meters into the ground for it to come back up as a Tsunami is different than just any regular Tsunami.
If you do a splash in water and it produces a splash 5 meters high vs sending shockwaves underground which produce a 5 meter high Tsunami, that's different

Well, thinking now, it says here that a magnitude 6.5-7.5 earthquake is not capable of creating a destructive tsunami, so a 10 meters tsunami with magnitude 8 is not so impossible
- 2,549
- 2,148
Not really. It's when the magnitude of an Earthquake hits about 7.5-8.0 where Tsunamis start being produced. I believe a 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Indonesia produced a tiny tsunami (and was noted to break the threshold of tsunamis being produced by upthrust Earthquakes), but anything below that USUALLY does not produce a Tsunami. Something else to consider is the direction at which the faults are displaced, given underwater Earthquakes where the fault displacement is perfectly horizontal won't produce a tsunami at all since there is no real displacement of water, you see.
I never put much thought into that tbh. But...
Now that I am putting thought into it, I don't think you have to do that given an upthrust Earthquake doesn't produce JUST ONE tsunami: a powerful enough upthrust Earthquake can produce multiple tsunamis given when the fault lines rub against one another upwards, they emit a LOT of radiated seismic energy so much that the seafloor within the proximity of the fault vibrates up and down a lot. And those vibrations are what produce the other waves that follow.
So, unless there is context that points to actually multiple Earthquakes being produced that I am not shown (or completely forgot xd), one doesn't have to do what you suggested.

Yes for multiple earthquakes, no for one earthquake

What is your source for this?

The seafloor around Marineford is 10 thousand meters deep.
Whitebeard's attack was stated to be a seaquake that came back up as a Tsunami.

Scratch that, you can’t even classify it as LS. He’s tilting the sea BECAUSE of the earthquake caused, he’s not directly grabbing it, he’s pulling the air, you literally CANT pull an earthquake. This is AP, not LS.

I think the logic has already been concluded. Now people are looking for new calculations and evidence before to create a new scaling/CRT
