If the
Dressrosa Meteor thread goes through, will
Stefano's meteor calc be implemented since it got accepted? If it does, can the
LS value of the meteors be used? Like, can those values replace the LS values used from
here?
That depend if i get some other calc experts to evaluate my calc and conferm which end to use.
Likely, but post time skip would have to be majorly restructured.
Yeah, assuming my calc gets accepted, it would definitely affect the current Post Timeskip scaling, since I do think this feat would scale to all of Doflamingo’s strings in general and not just the Birdcage, at least in terms of durability.
It can be argued that the strings used to make the Birdcage are no different from the ones he uses for his other techniques, like Parasite and Spider Web, which would make them equally durable. The same should apply to his Awakening, which logically ought to have even higher stats overall. This is important because, in Dressrosa, the only character who ever managed to physically break those strings was Boundman Luffy just by transforming, a feat that no one else managed to achieve.
Someone might try to counter this by bringing up Black Knight, where even fodder like Abdullah and Jeet could damage the clone. However, I would argue that this technique is supposed to be like that, since it is meant to serve as a diversion and trick the opponent into believing they were fighting the real Doffy rather than a clone. This is also backed up by the fact that Doffy can alter the physical properties of his strings with techniques like Overheat, meaning it is more than possible that he can make the strings less durable when necessary.
After all, we see that Gear 2 Jet Gatling could shatter the entire thing, yet we know that Doffy himself is physically stronger than Gear 2 Luffy, let alone his strings, which, until Boundman, were shown to be impossible to shatter through brute force. And when Boundman did break those strings Doffy was clearly shocked by the event, despite the fact that he see his strings getting cut by Kyros, which further prove my point as it mean that the Black Knight its suppost to be less durable compare to stuff like Parasite and Spider Web.
Even in Marineford, we see that his strings were strong enough to physically halt Jozu and stop him from attacking Crocodile, and Jozu never actually managed to free himself, at least onscreen. So either Doffy released him later, or Jozu did eventually free himself, but only with much more effort. And this is not much of an outlier: the meteor feat in question was performed by an Admiral, and while Issho was holding back, it is still noteworthy, since being able to withstand non named attacks from Top Tiers is something only Top Commanders such as Marco, Ace, Vista, and Jozu ever managed to achieve at Marineford.
Basically to brief recap Boundman Luffy > Doflamingo's Strings Durability > Issho's Meteors as well as be >= Jozu >= Admirals and Mihawk's non named attacks = Issho's Meteors = At least 375 Petatons (the yield of the bigger meteor since its was a barrage of meteors rather than a single one).
Thought it would probably requid another CRT and see if we have enough people who agree with this take.
