WB was drastically weaker. Even Oldbeard was fighting Shanks, Sickbeard wasn't even able to use Hao Infusion.Yea, it seems odd to assume the Admirals wouldn't improve themselves after the Paramount War. Having said that, I don't really know where to place them on that scaling chain. I definitely don't think any of them were holding back against Whitebeard, but I also don't know how much weaker Marineford Whitebeard is compared to his prime. I've also seen the argument that Whitebeard was holding back against the Admirals. It's possible, but I don't know by how much. I mean, Akainu took a point-blank quake bubble undefended and could still fight after with only some bleeding, and it's pretty clear Whitebeard wouldn't hold back since that was directly after Akainu had just killed Ace. Blackbeard himself was afraid of fighting Akainu despite not being afraid to fight a weakened Whitebeard.
I don't want to argue with anybody about this or make points countering what I just said. I'm saying that scaling the Admirals now is tricky, and I think it would be beneficial if some extra keys for the Admirals were made. It would make the scaling easier.
