Persona near-wide downgrade to tier 10

Oh god this thread is toxic. The Persona cast are only superhumans with their Personas activated only to be engaged in a fight. Joker only got arrested by the police and tortured due to his personas not being activated. Same for Shinji and Akechi being shot by bullet proves they don't have their personas unleashed. That's why there's no diarahan used on them. Therefore, no tier 10.
...What? Akechi thought that Joker would've been killed by a regular gun. He even took the time to gloat, which, had that been the real Joker, would've given him plenty of time to summon his Persona. Akechi, as a Persona user, should know the limits of what a Persona user can do, so he'd know if it was a matter of just "activating your Persona".
 
Profiles who doenst get affected:
Velvet Room people, Shadows, Maruki, P1 cast and P2 cast
I dont remember exactly if Teddie while being a shadow is still considered as human tier in real life according to P4 writting.

Those i know for sure.
Those who get affected would be the P4/P5 casts. Maruki cannot actively summon his persona but Azatoth can still utilize his power to rewrite people's cognition from his realm.

Hmm Maruki's persona appears for real when mementos is merged right?

About P3 cast, they requires evokers and from what i remember P4AU happened on the metaverse/CU.

Yeah Maruki couldn't fully fuse with him until he was exposed to the spiritual world.

Evokers allows people to summon persona because they invoke the threat of death. The threat of death allows people to summon their persona in the real world as seen in P3/P2.

P3 characters such as Mitsu and Akihiko state they have been training their persona despite the dark hour having ended. Which in combo with Fuuka's ability to use her persona in the real world implies they practiced by summoning in the real world.

Hmm interresting, while it can be some weird memory from me, but didnt the evoker have plume of dusk to allow the summoning to happen?

If you have the scans, show us, so we decide who gets the new key.

And btw i think a note should be done on why P3 cast aren't affected.

The plume of dusk happens during the events of Arena. Both Mitsu and Akihiko discuss that they trained their persona in between the time since the end of P3 and the events of Arena which implies they are capable of summoning their persona outside the dark hour/tartarus, and the events of Arena.

I will but not now. This isn't going to be a quick thing, I am currently getting a lot of stuff together for these keys, but let me know which ones you want specifically and I can post em here in the next few days or so.

Its just going to be needed Scans for P3 not being affected by OP's proposal.
P4 and P5 from what was been presented it can be confirmed to get new Key.

That's Joker in reality whose lethal to those. Personas only activate in battle even if they're not summoned via exp persona stats. The cast has already shown tanking attacks from shadows, rulers, and gods. If they were lethal, they would've died immediately due to AP and speed. This is downplay.
 
Bro we're talking about their IRL stats, nobody's saying they aren't comparable to their personas during actual gameplay
 
Also I don't remember if you can in P4 but in P5 you can work out so Joker is 10-A ig
 
Well atleast, i believe the thread turned into more who should get the new keys.

Just waiting Whitee to show the scans to avoid P3 being affected by OP's changes.

If you want to already show the feats go ahead.

I have to scour through P4 for the P3 stuff, but just to be clear, awakening one's persona in reality is an application of human cognition (more specifically reactive evolution) that was displayed by Baofu, and the P2 cast when they were kids, in addition to it being a theme in P3, and P5 showing us humans can use cognition in the real world (bringing back Mona and arguably Akechi) in addition to the cast awakening their persona upon threat of death, or extreme trauma.

As for the other feats, Ryuji has a wall level feat in the manga for tanking this blow from a dude of this mass.

Joker's eraser dodging was calced at superhuman reaction speeds.

We are still looking for more feats so it will take some time
 
I don't think that guy's big enough to be wall level. Besides isn't it just an empty suit of armor with some goopy Shadow inside?

He 100% is he absolutely dwarfs ryuji in size and mass. He also has solid wall+ levels feats I can post later. The suit of armor he is wearing alone is a rodiculous amount of weight, that + his size + the size of the sword all being concentrated at the end of the hilt to ryuji’s jaw should be well enough for wall level. Even mid sized bears scale to that.
 
The wall feats are legit I'm sure but I doubt such size is enough for 9-B. Also animal profiles were supposed to be almost universally downgraded a lot ago so don't use them as reference.

I mean he is this big. Scaling just the armor he is in would be a hell of a mass given his size.
Also if a regular sledgehammer wielded by a human is 9-C then a 8ft sword swing bu a thing this size should be comfortably wall level imo

Medieval plate armor was 15-25 kg, assuming that guy's 4 meters tall we get 25 x 2.25^3 = 284.76 kg, which isn't too high. GPE would be 5532.84 Joules, 9-C. Admittedly it could be 5 meters or something but either way, pretty far from 9-B

You have to remember 9-C is deceptively wide and even peak human attacks are 1/5th of the way to 9-B. I don't deny that it's a possibility but by itself, considering Ryuji is clearly way inferior to the armor, I wouldn't make him 9-B at all.

4 meters is kinda of off as Joker who is almost 2 meters is about knee height to the thing. Also not accounting for the shadows actual mass which must sustain the weight of the armor.

All of this weight being added to the swing of the blow concentrated to a point which increase the energy actually transferred to Ryuji.
It’s wuite possible I don’t have a grasp on the actual barrier to wall level but I can’t see how this would even be remotely close to say, an Irl strongman swinging a sledgehammer.

He's WHAT? He's clearly average height, hell, this hopefully height chart that appears to be from the artbook I just found says the same too.

I mean, they're just a goopy blob until they are forced to take a form, right? I doubt they'd weigh too much.

Oh it's absolutely way higher and I'm not saying it isn't 9-B, I'm just saying it'd be better not to claim it is until a calc is made.

Lol sorry American here my mental translation of a meter is 3ft and since Joker is 5’10 I used 6ft for two meters. Either way joker himself is dwarfed by it in the scan.
It’s “goop” that has taken form which is the reason they appear humanoid and can wear armor. I mean even if we used something like sludge or a goopy hydrocarbon to fill the things dimensions, and added it to your free hand calc above of the armor weight it would be a much greater result than the 9-C result you got above.

Fair. Would you be able to calc it? Or is there a calc request thread?
 
Also on a related note can you check out the speed calc when you get the chance armor?
Done-zo. Looks like the feat is even better than calced, although I am slightly iffy on the throwing speed used.

Ah, no problem.

I could but I am kinda busy these days so idk. If you're willing to wait I can eventually give it a look, but if you want it to be speedy you're better off asking someone else.

Well the throw speed is actually conservative. It uses the speed of a tennis ball thrown from rest horizontally using the elbow and arm as opposed to a straight up overhand throw and the teacher sort of sidearms it at joker.

no problem we aren’t in a rush. Thanks in advance.

My issue is mostly that I personally find it harder to throw something that small compared to a ball, but eh, it's probably not that big of a deal

Darnit, couldn't weasel my way outta this one so easily 😔
 
Well, so the thread isn't forgotten about.

Otherwise this thread may be closed until the feats are found, which can then be brought up in a new CRT.
 
Yeah, no. In order to have an intimdation aura, you need to have... you know, an actual super natural aura that intimidates people. You can't just scare some guys briefly in one panel and claim it's a power.
It is literally stated and shown. Not sure what else you want regarding the Makoto/Ryuji scene.
 
Yes. Because if there's anyone who knows anything about supernatural auras and totally wouldn't exaggerate how scary someone is as a figure of speech, it's Ryuji.

Not sure what you mean given that it is a completely different person describing their experience in meeting Makoto and Ryuji who needed to get said item from him. Nor am I sure why you'd try and discredit Ryuji is who is like in the select few of humans who actually know about the cognitive world and supernatural powers, if it were him who'd said it.
 
...I just realized that the links you put over their names are links to scans and not links to profiles.

Either way, neither link is working for me and it still sounds like a figure of speech to me.
