RWBY Vol 6 Thread II

[Schnee_One]

It reached the tow

Also dont watch that if you have headphones on the audio will hurt

So what magnitude is that?

Unfortunately only magnitude 4.5 will result in an upgrade

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Causing a quake that shook a town from well outside the town itself would absolutely be a magnitude 4.5-5

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richter_magnitude_scale

[1]

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Shouldn't be beyond 5 in magnitude, but I doubt it reaches that.

 

[TheRustyOne]

That should be 8-B+, it'd be nice to have better numbers for the RWBY characters.

 

[Schnee_One]

If this is 4.5 it will be 84 Tons instead of 18 Tons, consistent with the Lamcer

5 will be.....476 Tons....

......Making them stronger then back before they got downgraded......

And I can make Yang vs WS again.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Also a nice little nod to them being more durable, they got hit with the blast from the mech that oneshot the lancer queen but they were all fine

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Unless some heavy shaking went on, we can't really assume 5. Tecnically, eevn magnitude 4 tends to be felt, tough it is obviously somewhat higher in this case, and entire magnitude seems not that backed up.

 

[Damage3245]

What even caused the quake? Was it just the mech falling over? I don't any of them scale to the full energy of the mech crashing into the cliff.

Especially since Jaune and Nora were just hit once by it and instantly lost their auras.

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Ruby hit it, it went off balance and fell back. The attack ruby made doesn't scale to the quake...

...but the mechs dura scales to the quake, and that does scale to them, so...

 

[WeeklyBattles]

The mech fell over and crashed into a clif after Ruby hit it

 

[AnonymousBlank]

This mech sounds like a mess for scaling. Or Team RWBY is far stronger than JNR.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

@Damage Where was it shown that Nora and Jaune lost their aura? Jaune amped Nora's aura hence why they were both glowing yellow when it hit them.

 

[DragonEmperor23]

Did Jaune having a big aura compared to the other members of the teams get retconned?

 

[Nico-v11]

I doubt it since he mentions that Pyrrha said that he has a large amount.

 

[Damage3245]

@Damage Where was it shown that Nora and Jaune lost their aura? Jaune amped Nora's aura hence why they were both glowing yellow when it hit them.

I thought that the glow around them was the show showing their aura breaking.

Well, at least Jaune would scale to that punch then if his aura is fine.

 

[Schnee_One]

Let's not talk about scaling and calc the feat first

Scaling is pointless if it's anything lower then 4.5

 

[WeeklyBattles]

How would scaling be pointless? If its anything above a Magnitude 3.5 its an upgrade

 

[Schnee_One]

Magnitude 3.5 is 2.6 Tons

RWBY and JNR is 8B by this point, unless that was rejected

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

What would be a reasonable distance between the mecha and the city?

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Assuming a distance of 2 km you still get magnitude 5.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Its not going to be above Magnitude 5 but Magnitude 5 is still an upgrade

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

It was created by kinetic energy, not plate movements.

That means that this is what is used:

(4.5)+6.399+1.66├ùlog((2├À110)├ù((2├ù¤Ç)├À360))

Even assuming 2 km gets you 5.09.

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Also, the amount of energy needed to get that earthquake is much higher.

Since Radiated energy would aply here...

10^(1.5*(5.09151436564)+4.8)= 654 tons of tnt. (Though, again, this is assuming 2km is an acceptable distance. A thing that I do doubt pretty hard)

 

[Damage3245]

Was the mech's forcefield still up when it crashed into the ground?

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Was the mech's forcefield still up when it crashed into the ground?

The fall was caused by Ruby's scythe penetrating into it and making it fall back, so doubtful.

 

[KobsterHope07]

Was the mech's forcefield still up when it crashed into the ground?

Proabably, for Qrow and Ren hadn't destroyed the shield generator yet at that point of time.

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

The thing was possible to cut for Qrow, Ruby and everyone else and the shields have an obvious effect that did not appear.


Seriously tough, what is a reasonable distnace? From the fight it looked like they were on the other side fof the cliff, and I doubt that's 2 km away.

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Eh, the heck with it, I'll give the results depending the distance. Ya decide which you like more.:

The potency of the earthquake is at least 4.5 because of the blatantly obvious moment that was seen and felt.

Assuming the city was 100 meters away:

(4.5)+6.399+1.66├ùlog((2├À110)├ù((0.1├ù¤Ç)├À360))

10^(1.5*(2.93180457284)+4.8)

0.376803721 tons of tnt (Underwhelming, I know.)


Assuming that the city was 500 meters away:

(4.5)+6.399+1.66├ùlog((2├À110)├ù((0.5├ù¤Ç)├À360))

10^(1.5*(4.09209478004)+4.8)

20.7276704 tons of tnt


Assuming the city was 1 km away:

(4.5)+6.399+1.66├ùlog((2├À110)├ù((1├ù¤Ç)├À360))

10^(1.5*(4.59180457284)+4.8)

116.443482 tons of tnt


Assuming 2 km distance:

(4.5)+6.399+1.66├ùlog((2├À110)├ù((2├ù¤Ç)├À360))

10^(1.5*(5.09151436564)+4.8)

654 tons of tnt


Assuming 5 km distance:

(4.5)+6.399+1.66├ùlog((2├À110)├ù((5├ù¤Ç)├À360))

10^(1.5*(5.75209478004)+4.8)

6 405.46252 tons of tnt

 

[TheRustyOne]

The shield doesn't matter, it only stopped projectiles. Qrow, Ruby, and Ren were still able to damage it with physical attacks. Either that or it has to be activated by the person controlling it.

Also, isn't this how your suppose to calc these kinda of quakes?

That is how I calculated the joules behind it. (I used () instead of [], but whatever).

I just also calculated the magnitude it would need to have to be magnitude 4 at x distance.

In that instances, there already was a set magnitude, and trying to use what I did would get a very lowballed result.

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

If there is no realistic way to tell the distance, go for the standard 85 Tons of tnt for 4.5 magnitude.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

8-B, possibly 8-A should be safe tbh

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Where is taht possibly 8-A from?

It didn't damage any architecture or such, so I don't see why it should be assumed it is 5 in magnitude.

 

[KobsterHope07]

The only time where we get to see the city as a whole is in episode at 10:19, you can see the tower (which I assume is the same tower) that Blake went to try and sabotage. It doesn't look far from the city. Not a whole kilometer to me, but I'm not a mathematician.

[TheRustyOne]

I think the standard 85 tons would be best.

 

[Schnee_One]

8-B, possibly 8-A should be safe tbh

I agree with this tbh. But I think we should really double check with other calc members first

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

I mean, without a set distance it can't really be calced.

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Please don't jump at my throat or anything but what keeps this from being an outlier? Like I can understand it for the likes of Qrow and those who scale similarly but this would be the only 8-B feat for RWBY and JNR

 

[Schnee_One]

In that case, I feel 8B is a safe end

Though I'm neutral on whether 8A is good tbh but I won't complain if it's 8A as well

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Its been agreed on for months now that rwby and jnr are 8-B at this point
