Yeah, that's where I got the whole "1.3x away from next tier" thing, as going 3/4 of a tier most of the time will put you 1.33x away from the next tier's border.

So the guideline will be "So long as the character is massively superior to a calced value that is 3/4th's higher than the baseline of the tier, they can upscale to the baseline of the next tier".
That could work.
EDIT: I mean, I'm obviously not happy with it since I think the concept of this kind of tier-based upscaling is nonsense in the first place, but it's better than randomly allowing values up to 1.5x away from the next tier.

This would also apply to upscaling to a + rating, right?

Depends how far we want to take it.
If somebody is massively superior to 1/4 value of a tier, do they get upscaled to 1/2 the tier?
If they're massively superior to 1/2 of a tier, do they get upscaled to 3/4 the tier?
- 15,330
- 14,971
Honestly I could agree to that
- 15,587
- 11,870
Same. It would also imply upscaling into a "+" rating which is fine by me.
- 15,330
- 14,971
So that would mean the benchmarks for a tier like 7-A would be as such
325 Megatons -> 550 Megatons -> 775 Megatons -> 1000 Megatons
So if you're far stronger than a calc above 325 Megatons, 550 Megatons, or 775 Megatons, then you can upscale to the next level of the chain

Yeah. Honestly since this is kinda important perhaps we could edit that into the Attack Potency page?

For the record, Massively superior implies one shotting correct? Not casual feats?
- 29,737

I think so. And not all kinds of one-shotting either, since even ordinary humans can "one-shot" each other with enough skill or luck or choice of weapon. Something that indicates an undeniable different level of power.

Very well
Damn, inFAMOUS gets hit with the downgrade again

Wow, so just stomping or casually stomping someone wouldn’t count?
- 15,330
- 14,971
Well whether or not upscaling is valid and whether or not the gap of superiority is huge would be case by case to the verse
- 10,577

A question. If we are accepting my suggestion, what about scaling chains? For example, 3/4 of 1000 Megatons is 750, if a character is 700 Megatons, but it has a scaling chain like this
Character A > Character B > Character C = 700 Megatons (Keep in mind that ">" means stomp, one shot, statement of "massively superior" or anything that we are accepting that is enough to upscale)
Character A > Character B > Character C = 700 Megatons (Keep in mind that ">" means stomp, one shot, statement of "massively superior" or anything that we are accepting that is enough to upscale)

This should still probably apply to situations involving calced values which would prevent drastic inflation through scaling chains.
- 15,587
- 11,870
I'd say we should find a limit for scaling chains, otherwise we'll get people becoming High 8-C from a 9-A+ feat, but I do think they're legitimate. Also, if a feat is very casual, I do think upscaling should at least be considered, depending on context.
- 15,330
- 14,971
I believe we've come to a conclusion for the most part that we can agree with the 3/4 rule for upscaling
- 15,587
- 11,870
If we do, we should edit in the minimum values that allow upscaling in our Attack Potency page.
- 165,078
- 71,940
Yes, somebody knowledgeable in our staff would need to update our Attack Potency page.
- 15,330
- 14,971
It should be at the bottom of the page under a section of Upscaling Chart, then have all the values that allow upscaling
- 32,773
- 37,941
So basically in the Upscaling Chart section we write "For a character to qualify for upscaling to the next tier, the character's AP should be at least 3/4 that of the next immediate tier". Did I get it right?
- 15,330
- 14,971
Yeah, but we have to include the "+" stuff as well, you basically need to find the mean average between the "+" and Baseline of the next tier, and that's the cut off mark for upscaling to a next tier
To upscale to the "+", you need to upscale above the mean average of the Baseline of the current tier and the "+"
- 15,587
- 11,870
I think it'd be a good idea to mark that specific value for every tier in our AP chart too, though.
- 15,330
- 14,971
I can do so I guess
- 32,773
- 37,941
I mean, once you're 3/4 that of the next tier you're definitely gonna hit the + anyway so...
Remember, you get a + when you reach the average mean of the lowest bound of the tier+highest bound of the tier, and 3/4 of the tier is unarguably superior to the mean.
- 32,773
- 37,941
Yeah, laying out the value for the average arithmetic mean between the lowest and highest bounds of a tier would definitely be extremely helpful, as that's what we use to get the + rating.

That doesn't actually get you 3/4 of the tier.
3/4 of 1000 Megatons is 750 Megatons.
The actual midpoint of between halfway up 7-A and the baseline for High 7-A is 775.
