If people are willing to fix the profiles that's fine. However, from the looks of it, it didn't seem like people were gonna do anything about it. Though, Firephoenixearl responded and said it's an easy fix so let's wait for him.
Well I saw someone in the thread post a bunch of quotes in here so that's something and there's been quite a lot of activity in the Rakudai tag recently so I think we should give it a little time
Yoo how are ya my man. Been a minute.
That is just wrong my brother. Taking the case in question, stella being SOL. It literally says "dodge beams of light". Why this was sol and not lower was already discussed in a separate thread. So the justification is there.
Since when is that a necessary thing for light novels? I don't remember that being a condition back when I overhauled the profiles. If you could provide me the rule then I have no issues giving the references literally off the top of my head. I know when stuff happened, so I can tell you the volumes and chapter at any time, so it's not an issue whatsoever to add. But do provide me the rule please.
You took one of the worst profiles and used it as an example for the rest. Let's not do this, clearly state which profiles have an inherent issue like that so that we can actually get somewhere instead of saying "let's delete renren instead of just fixing the link".
This is a fair point for a bunch of stuff but a lot of the main cast shares a few abilities which are already explained in the Blazer Physiology page, with scans and all. This is cus I saw @Vietthai96 say ikki didn't have a scan for fate hax. Which is plain wrong cus it is said it comes from desperado state which is included in the blazer physiology with scans and all. And desperado stuff is the most controversial part of most character's kits so with that out most of the other stuff is fairly minor.
Ok
Wouldn't that need a calc? Also there are no scans, they should have been added.
Don't think it's a rule. Though I haven't read them. But it's part of the page standard so I think they should be? Or least I was told to add them when adding my own profiles.
Pretty sure quite a few of them could have this problem. Though I haven't checked all ngl.
Yeah, scans is the biggest issue right now.
If you're willing to fix the problems we can make a new thread. The point of this is to delete the profiles due to lack of scans and poorly made profiles. But if now there are people willing to resolve the issues brought up in the op there is no point in this.
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/References We literally have a thread regarding this so
vsbattles.fandom.com
uh oh, i didn't say anything about Desperado or Blazer Physiology, my bad though. However, the state of many profiles is still bad
If no one is willing to maintain the series properly it should be removed from wiki
You cannot calc it because there are no given distances. It was literally just a case of "she would need to move a fairly large distance before a beam reached her from not too far away". So since the result would be in the SoL ballpark we just take it as an SoL feat.
Well, that also states the same about manga based profiles and all, but i haven't seen many manga based profiles around who have references on top of their scans for justifications. Again this is not a problem for me but it doesn't seem to be very well forced enough to use it as condition to delete verses.
Then since you said you wanted to help and you were the one who brought up this condition of the pages, i'll leave this to you.
The whole SoL thing is still kind of iffy to me but yeah, I will deal with the rest. Since there are people willing to help out I can start making a general CRT for the verse where people will be able to give their input and send scans needed for profiles. Or something like that.
The longes minute in my life son, is this a longterm thing or are ya just going to save Rakudai and vanish for another minute again?
Probably not long term, though I may take a shorter break this time. When new Rakudai volumes drop I'll probably drop by to make some CRTs, I started this shit, might as well end it amirite?
^This. You can't calc a LN/WN verse like you can a comic/movie/manga/ect. In general, narration/character dialogue does not give the dimensions of a given area, so literally any calc would just be complete guesswork.
They are actually based on fairly complex scaling. The justifications are in the profiles, it is just as confusing as it looks.
Most of them aren't really active in a CRT I linked above to give scans, here it is again:
Cool but now there are problems like hard-to-find scans and they aren't even referenced. (vol 12 is hard to find in particular from what I hear)
And don't seem to really care about adding scans or improving the profiles but just adding "cool" stuff.
Yeah, maybe. So far every profile but Ikki's and Stellas are garbage.
So nuke everything but Ikki and Stella? (even though they also have a lot of missing scans) I mean it doesn't seem like there is much interest in this CRT for scan gathering:
If they are poor quality stub/no scan/outdated pages with nobody wanting to fix them, then 100%.
Yeah. So far I'm only seeing people care for Stella and Ikki staying.
They need like 2 scans total. It's deadass more effort to delete than to fix.
Two scans??
In this CRT I have listed all the profiles which need scans...which is all of them. So yeah, a lot more than 2 per profile. Though right now we are trying to focus on Ikki and Stella who are the most important.
I meant the side characters. Take a profile like renren.
The references are easy.
Didn't this get shot down like twice by now?
His profile is mediocre at best in all honestly. Anyway, if reference and scan gathering is easy then post all of them in the 2nd CRT I've made above.
