Possible 8-A tiering for Mr. Compress

In Chapter 278, he was able to surprise and draw blood from Midnight by attacking her with his equipment. Could this give Mr Compress an "8-A with Equipment" rating?

I don’t think he should get the rating. What really happened was that when Compress activated the quirk, the rocks fell on her, and she didn’t draw blood until the rocks had fell to the ground with her, crushing her. It’s like, if you hit someone in a building that’s nearly about to collapse, and you hitting them broke something that was holding the building apart, then the building fell on the person killing them. That’s not your feat, it’s just them dying by a conventional way due to how gravity works.

Even then the building situation is different cause at least you’re striking them into the building, Midnight wasn’t damaged at all until she got crushed by the rocks falling on the ground with her under it.
 
I'm not sure about this being a rating for Mr. Compress. It looks like Midnight got bloodied up by falling from a great height after slamming into some unexpected debris.

Not really an AP feat.

Shouldn't an 8-A character still be able to survive a fall from that height without bleeding?
 
It’s not just the fall, it’s also that she literally gets crushed by being below rocks, which rocks crushing you when falling on you is… how they work if they’re big enough.
Using this for scaling can be too vague imo, since using rocks this way can vary, Especially in Compress’ case. I was thinking about throwing a rock, but it’s not like the rocks were thrown while in rock form, so that analogy wouldn’t work.

If a rock was pushed off 1 meter above Midnight, she would probably take no damage from it, and it would probably roll off her, it hasn’t built enough force. Then you get into 10 meters above, and it could likely damage Midnight due to the force it’s built up falling down. 20 meters would be enough to kill possibly, if 10 meters were to damage her.

Boulders being pushed off 1,000 meters above the person could build up enough force to kill lower tier 7 characters, it’s just too vague to use imo.
 
Depends how much they fall. Not to use this as a main argument but this has happened in other series. Low 7-C characters in Hazbin Hotel has been damaged by debris and were forced to cut off their arm to escape it.
Or it can always be an anti-feat if you don’t think falling rocks can damage 8-A characters, but it’s the only explanation. Shigaraki states that superhumans can survive large falls iirc.

Completely misremembered Shigaraki’s statement. He just says “people are supposed to die from that high of a fall”, likely noting Re-Destro’s superiority to normal heroes which likely refer to Midnight as well.
