Planet Destruction via Statement

[XitSign]

Got a minor problem with scaling in a verse I working on, and need a general answer for fixing the tiering.

A major character for powerscaling has a feat of destroying a world before the events of the game, but only via statement.

Through a lot of misconceptions (I'm starting to see where the conversation derailed) the assumption became annihlation meant total destruction of the planet, which overcame GBE, so the verse was baseline 5-B.

However a user has come to challange that assumption, and I wanted to get updates and more resources about what a feat like this should be assumed to be, or if it's unusable and these characters should just be scaled above the characters below them in power.

It is quite possible that "annihilation" means the complete destruction of the planet, however there are other things to consider:

Does the feat happen over time? What would "world" mean in this context? Could this "world" simply have been the surface of a planet?

Hence this particular "feat" is hard to cuantify.

 

[XitSign]

With regards to the verse, and a few other mentions of the term, world is definately used to describe an entire planet at a time.

But yes, timeframes are non existant, it's something that statements and one of the bad guys just brag about doing.

 

[Super_Saiyan_God_Julian]

If a timeframe doesn't exist, and it says that this "world" was annihilated, then it could be either High 6-A or 5-B (leaning towards 5-B)

To clarify, does this character scale to a lower end feat? Because then his tier could be "Etcetera, possibly Planet level" due to the uncertainty of said feat.

As I said in the thread, unless atomic destruction is directly stated or shown then it cannot be assumed to be the method of destruction. Annihilate in this case, in my opinion seems much more akin to violent fragmentation as opposed to any type of atomic destruction and I've provided a calc that makes the feat here High 6-A+ through that method.


Thor from RoR being a prime example.

 

[Super_Saiyan_God_Julian]

Yeah I guess what Prince said makes much more sense. Although we are still assuming it's violent fragmentation, so said character should still be scaled to another lower end feat also, since it's not completely clear-cut.

The character scales well above lower feats, which has always been the problem with the high tiers as we keep moving up, each bracket keeps getting stronger but having less and less feats.

I'm aware that's what you said Prince, and I am aware of the Calc, I was just trying to get more opinions on it rather than just using that immediately. That was the problem the first time around, we jumpped on the first few answers we got and called it a day.

You also didn't provide a link, and I couldn't find the blog or accepted calc page with those numbers, if you could send that to me at some point so if that does end up as the final statistic we can link directly to it on the pages.
