Regarding Transcending Time and Space

Status
Not open for further replies.
@TGOP

It quoted a wall of text and used a distracting irrelevant gif file.
 
Anyway, AKM is probably correct.
 
@Eli That addition to the time travel page came long after the rule was discussed

That's all I'm gonna derail for now.
 
@Elizhaa Although this topic is not relating to time travel and the concept of it so it is a bit derailing to say the least.
 
At this point I feel you guys are making things more stricter than it needs to be. Transcendence to Time and Space should qualify for Low 2-C (unless of course contradicted by feats and the likes)

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/transcend

^ every definition implies superiority to Space and Time, of which we treat as Low 2-C here at least

Now regarding whether it's infinite or Immeasurable, honestly treating it as merely infinite speed ignores the fact that transcending implies you exist beyond something and being beyond a Space-Time Continuum should easily extempt you from linear time, reaching an existence greater than 4-D time/space should at minimum make you exist above past, present and future

No offense, but this wikia has been on a spree of making simple premises more complicated than it needs and it's starting to look like flavor text
 
@Super

Hmmm that is new to me. I not sure if there has a been a general consensus regarding that part of transcending time and space is basically Low 2-C.

Not to mention the possibility it could be used in a figurative sense as well rather than in a literal sense depending on context and other things.

Not sure, I've seen people claim both, I'm just here to explain why Transcending Time and Space is indeed a Low 2-C feat, hence why I explained that first

Also yeah, I do agree we should treat it on a case by case basis, as not even statement of that nature is literal nor proven by feats. However a good portion of them are validv
 
So how are variations of the term going to be treated?

  • "Transcends Space-Time"
  • "Is/Goes/Moves beyond Space-Time"
  • "Can go past Space-Time"
  • "Surpasses/Surpassed Space-Time"
  • "Overcame/Can overcome Space-Time"
  • "Reached beyond the limits of Space-Time"
  • "Conquered Space-Time"
I know that context matters, but I just wanted to know if there is any inherent difference in potency just from the key-phrase itself.
 
I would divide in "existe outside", "immune to" and "transcend", using trasncend as exist outside at conceptual/metaphysical level. Existing outside grants by default temporal immunity, but not the other way around.
 
@Sera

Okay. Understood.

It's literally obvious that statements alone with no contextual backing do not warrant tier upgrades. They never have.
It may be obvious, but that doesn´t mean it doesn´t have to be mentioned only because of that.

Something regarding that can just be said in the Statements page and we can move on, really (if it hasn´t already)
 
I mean...a clarification in the Tier System page is all there need be.

I think this suggestion could be the best option.
 
If a clarification is needed, then I don't mind.

If accepted, how can we word this clarification on the Tiering System?
 
As with everything, context matters the most. One shouldn't just search for umbrella phrases that are seen a lot in fiction and try to apply them to upgrade characters. "Transcending time" in context can mean a world of different things.

It's just with the term "Higher dimension", which absolutely does not give every character attributed to it a Tier 2 rating or above. Context matters very much with our standards there.

If it didn't, you might as well argue that Highschool DxD has Higher-dimensional boob poking
 
The fact that this quote exists makes me both dumbfounded and amazed at the same time.

... Same... I was like "WTF?!?" when I see that.
 
Just to mention, before i made Soul Eater 's page, i did ask Admins what tier she'd have base on the "Transcending Space and time" statement, and i was told it would Low 2-C, or even High 2-A at absolutely best.

I did try to remove the "High 2-A" from her page after some people pointed it out, but i was not given "permission" for it to be unlocked for me to remove it, that's why it is still there until now.

If it means anything to her Tier, in addition of being stated to transcend space and time, she is also stated to transcend causality. The problem really is that the very point of the character is being an unknown/mysterious entity, so purposefuly little is know about it.
 
I got to be honest. From my personal exprience, transcending both space and time is seen as 5-D and transcending time is seen as 4-D, probably due to Dimensional Tiering. This week is the first time that I have heard transcending space-time was view as 4-D, to be honest.
 
...if it helps, the realm of darkness is a timeless place anyway, so i think Xehanort would be that level anyway.
 
Considering 4-D as the additional spatial dimension, 5-D by default exist outside space and time, so can freely move between times (Immesurable speed) and teleport at will (or even having nigh-omnipresence). Since there's more than five dimensions, is not considered transcendence, not from what I learn.

Normally I not sure where this was agreed upon, but I like to mentioned that time was considered the fourth dimension rather than it being considered a spatial dimension of sorts. It is very odd to be put that way given the 3 spatial dimension part.

so you're saying it doesn't
 
so you're saying it doesn't

Given the possibility of it being taken out of context, yes.

What Matt is saying that we shouldn't taken every statement of transcending time or both time and space at face value if it gets contradicted by what has been shown and displayed.
 
I have a character that is currently relativistic via scaling to other characters. However, he is a noted to be one to casual leap through time and space and ignores the Time Paradox.

I havent changed his profile since creation, as i wasnt sure how to move forward. Based on this Character Description, what is your opinion on how youd accurate tier this?

"Please take note that simple statements of transcending and/or overcoming space/time without any further elaboration is not enough to grant a Universe level+ rating. Such statements could be flowery language or at most simply refer to resistance to space-time manipulation". - for the Tier System page under the definition for Universe level+

"Remember that character and narrative statements tend to use flowery language and exaggerate to certain degrees. Without any further context to clarify, statements such as characters being "beyond space-time" or especially omnipotent statements are not enough to suggest upgrades. When reviewing a statement for potential upgrades, be sure to keep this in mind." - for statements page (if required).
 
Thank you. That seems fine to me.

Are the rest of you fine with if I add that?
