Hello there! We all remember PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, do we? Despite its flaws, I've always considered it a very fun game with an interesting concept, but we aren't here to talk about that.
Today's subject is the final boss of the game, the Polygon Man!
This dude used to have a profile in the past, but it was deleted out of it having a poor formatting and some misconception regarding him being tier 2 (something something ED scaling to physicals and such).
But since he is a neat character overall, I wanted to resurrect him and provide a worthy file, and here's the current draft.
Almost everything looks simple and dandy, but the most puzzling matter is his tier, and it's not even about his cosmic ratings or scaling from canon characters. Basically, 2 options stand before us: Making him Unknown or 9-B.
This because, as you can see from his AP description, him and the PlayStation All-Stars do have some feats scaling from stage hazards such as the Iron Mad, the Hydra and the Metal Gear Ray and others, which can alter the background and attack the players, who in turn can survive such attacks, and the Polygon Man himself can turn into some of those.
After talking about those with Armorchompy, the verdict is that these feats are nearly impossible to calc, either because of weird perspective or other odd factors like the fact that the buildings in Columbia float in the air. And all the feats could very well fall within the range of 9-B+, since the explosions are small and the damage caused isn't that big. Even more unfortunately, the characters' prologues and endings are completely featless.
So, let me know your thoughts on which tier should Mr. Polygon Man should have, or if you have any better proposal.
