The first calc doesn't look fixed to me.

According to the calc above, it is High 6-A.

Yeah but a calc group member suggested another method that gets Low 5-B

That was for when Sage Centipede's speed calc briefly became Relativistic+. Now it's back down to Massively Hypersonic+, so it doesn't work

True, High 6-A Sage Centipede then, Garou, Metal Bat and EOW would scale to that value I think

Since all the issues brought up have been resolved with the calc still being accepted, and Damage hasn't elaborated despite it being 4 days, is it okay for me to apply this?

Well not really. Since you would need to prove that someone can dead on full stop SC's full KE to scale anyone to that value. The reason the current calc exists is because they only stopped its rotation speed rather than full body forward momentum.
- 20,531

They stopped its rotation but it also kept moving forward. So they wouldn't scale to its KE.

I dunno it seems to me he was stopped on his tracks here but anyway, in the case they didn't. Metal Bat with resonance remains at 6-A and Garou would scale to High 6-A considering he cut the whole monster in half when he perfected his fist
- 20,531
- 17,435
Well if its the first calc its because the speed should be different I think. The speed isn't a centipede's running speed but the bite speed of its mandibles.

This calc wasn't based off of the Drill. It's based on regular motion.
Since Sage Centipede is essentially just a larger version of Elder Centipede, noted by Garou and they even extremely similar attacks, someone could scale to the KE by preforming something like this.
IIRC, no one has done anything like that to Sage Centipede, so they wouldn't scale to his KE value. Since this is primarily a thread to upgrade Elder Centipede, Garou and Metal Bat not scaling is not really an issue.

He should, the bug can lift itself, spin at tremendous speeds and crash violently against the ground unharmed.

Afaik KE for big things doesn't need to scale to durability theoretically. Since they could just never experience recoil.
Garou and MB never did anything like that though.
You are correct that in that case Bang and Bomb would scale to EC's KE though.
I know and I'm saying they never full stop its regular motion outside of the drill, where SC still was moving forward.

You should then moving SC's head, not recoiling its entire body or dead stopping its rush. Right after they lay into him to basically no effect on his general movement.

So you're saying that no one would scale to SC?
- 20,531
- 17,435
I'm saying that if they were to scale to SC it would be through durability scaling, not due to KE stoppage scaling.

And I already agreed with that. SC would be the only one who scales. I've already said that that's fine.
- 20,531

He didn't stop SC's KE, he would only scale if we say SC's durability is High 6-A but that was rejected last time this happened.

Why would Sage's durability not scale to his KE? He can endure just fine his own body crashing several times against the ground
And Garou did stop Sage since the centipede was still mid-movement trying to reach his core

Why isn't surface area taken into consideration, like, EVER? The reason why a car doesn't explode you on contact when you're ran over is due to how little of it's total KE you take.
- 20,531
- 17,435
Oh yeah. I keep forgetting about that. So yeah you're right, just because it has High 6-A KE doesn't mean it needs High 6-A durability.

I dunno his body doesn't even seem to be completely out of the hole to me and a page later he seemingly goes higher reaching the exosphere?
