Redone Spongebob calc + revisions/upgrades

So I redid my calc for Bikini Bottom.

https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:ArbitraryNumbers/Destroying_Bikini_Bottom_(Redone)

Both the low end and high end are Wall level.

As I also mentioned in the last thread I made, there are multiple feats that involve Bikini Bottom as a whole, or at least the vast majority of it.

So Spongebob, Patrick, Sandy, Squidward, and any characters comparable or superior to them should all get the "Varies from 10-C to 9-B rating" if this calc gets accepted.

I'd also like to request for permission to make profiles for Barnacle Boy, Mermaid Man, Dirty Bubble, and Man Ray, all of which with the 10-C to 9-B rating (Save for Dirty Bubble, as he was popped by a needle).
 
Here's my opinion on scaling.

Dennis stays rated as straight up 10-C despite this. He's very explicitly depicted as being vastly inferior to regular humans. If we're using the variable tier, then it can quite easily be said Dennis fought Spongebob while he was 10-C.

Alaskan Bull Worm is straight up 9-B. He's never depicted as weaker than humans and has a destroying Bikini Bottom feat of his own.

Chumbot is straight up 9-B. Again never depicted as weaker than humans and it completely destroyed numerous "skyscrapers" in Bikini Bottom.

Man Ray and Dutchma are reoccuring villains always depicted as comparable to Spongebob and the gang. So I'd say they get a variable from 10-C to 9-B as well.

Not sure how to rate the others.
 
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy should also be comparable if not superior.

Apparently I was wrong about Dirty Bubble, though. He was still able to trap both Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy with his "surface tension".

Doodle Bob should stay 10-C by your logic, though. His main weapon was a basic writing utensil wielded by a normal human.
 
I know for a fact Dirty Bubble also got popped by a needle. He should probably get a variable rating as well.

Doodle Bob seems reasonable. Basically just to make clear on what "my logic" is.

  • Reoccuring characters get the variable rating of 10-C to 9-B. (Main cast, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, etc.)
  • One off Spongebob characters explicitly depicted as far weaker than humans get straight up 10-C. (Dennis, Doodlebob, etc.)
  • One off Spongebob characters with their own feats of destroying Bikini Bottom/the buildings get straight up 9-B. (Alaskan Bull Worm, Chumbot, etc.)
 
I think Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy should get two keys: Prime | Old Age. I think Prime would be a solid 9-B for being that much stronger than average Fish while old age would be 10-C for being weaker than Spongebob (AFAIK, it's been awhile).

The The International Justice League of Super Acquaintances would also scale, but they have to little screentime to make profiles. Apparently the costumes give them the powers so maybe it could scale to the gang while they're wearing them?

Dunno for anyone else.
 
@Dark If you think so alright. I'm fine with two keys for those guys if you and others think that is best.

I still stand by that we shouldn't make people who got stepped on by regular humans like Dennis Wall level. And that people who actually have these Wall level feats on their own like Alaskan Bull Worm should get scaling.
 
I do recall one instance where Mermaid Man was able to injure spongebob with a "spine-breaker", but I cannot find it.
 
@AN.

Aight. I guess old Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy scaling to Spongebob's variable tier is okay then.
 
Since Darkanine, Antvasima and several others are fine with the Wall level ratings, I have adjusted the relevant Spongebob profiles.
