So the rwby x DC crossover is out

Is it any good? Also is it canon?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Is it any good?

From what I've heard its decent

Also is it canon?

Not that I'm aware of but I'll check when I get home

It wouldn't be canon to anything but itself so it'd just its own thing just like the other one. It's really ******* weird too. Not a "true" crossover.

Its wack and bizarre.

The other one is canon tho

 

[Ovrhide]

Also isn’t Ike Continental too?

Multi-continental. There’s a couple more on that level outside of radiant dawn.

 

[Community_Gamer]

The other one is canon tho

Yes I know. But its not like it canon to the show just the series. Which is all I cared about

 

[SilentLyfe]

Man, how powerful is Salem that her scream basically shook the entire void? Since I don't think there was any portal near her when she reformed.

 

[TheRustyOne]

I don't see how that means anything, considering the size is unknown.

Also why even assume she shook the entire space and not just the "ground" they were standing on?

 

[SilentLyfe]

Cause the shot was on the portals themselves not the ground they were on.

 

[TheRustyOne]

What does that mean?

 

[SilentLyfe]

I mean, when she started screaming, the scene was focused on the portals and the space around them shaking, not the ground since the shot wasn’t on it.

 

[TheRustyOne]

I don't see how that means she shook the space itself, it's not even possible to visually show space without any matter shaking.

 

[SilentLyfe]

That’s true. I’m not saying that she should get anything, just interesting to note. Here’s the scene in any case near the end.

 

[SilentLyfe]

Does anyone know how to determine the size of a dimension? I'm just wondering how powerful the Staff is with the creation of the central location.

The AP CRT will go smoother if we have the Monstra and city calcs ready beforehand. Lets start by gathering pictures that would be useful for scaling Monstra and Mantle.


The size of Atlas has been calc'd here:

[SilentLyfe]

Sure thing. Here are the images I could get.

[Thestrikingzebra]

The calc group has their work cut out for them. Let’s hope they don’t go too insane with this.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

We also need oscar's feat recalced

 

[Thestrikingzebra]

Maybe even recalc the Amity feat as well.

 

[SilentLyfe]

Bump

 

[KobsterHope07]

You could put a request for the feat on the Calculation Request Thread

 

[SilentLyfe]

Thanks. I'll do that.

 

[ShadowWhoWalks]

Did the scaling for Monstra.

Scaling from Atlas's height,

Monstra's length (without tail fins): (574 x 850.75)/80 = 6104.13 m
Montra's tail fins length: (191 x 850.75)/80 = 2031.17 m
Monstra's height: (92 x 850.75)/80 = 978.36 m

The length where the tail starts dandling down is 330 px, making the shored length: (330 x 850.75)/80 = 3509.34 m

From second image,

Monstra's width (without fins): (413 x 978.36)/471 = 857.88 m

---

Thing's more massive than I thought.

If we apply surface explosion on the shored length:
(3509.34/2)^3*((27136*1.37895+8649)^(1/2)/13568-93/13568)^2 = 434182.05 Tons of TNT [434.18 Kilotons, High 7-C, Large Town level]

Don't think the volume of Monstra is needed. But if so, we'll need to figure out an approximate for the overall volume (maybe consider Monstra an elliptic cone), and apply hollowness percentage. A more complicated, and possibly less accurate, alternative would be to upscale a sperm whale to around Monstra's size.

---

So far the pictures for Mantle are tricky. Let us know if a clearer comparison shot is found.

EDIT: I think we can use this picture



If we say "The explosion would engulf 100% of mantle if the bomb drops in the middle", then it would be Island level. So we should stick to a portion of Mantle getting destroyed.

 

[SilentLyfe]

Thanks for doing this. Does that mean that the kinetic energy from The Long Memory is at least High 7-C, in order to destroy Monstra?

 

[Spinoirr]

Probably

 

[SilentLyfe]

Bump

I don't know if anybody here has heard, but there's a rumor going around that AT&T is looking to sell off Rooster Teeth:

AT&T is reportedly looking to sell Rooster Teeth according to a new report. Back in 2018, AT&T [...]

How would this potentially affect RWBY?

 

[Thestrikingzebra]

Hmm probably not by a lot, if at all. But it also depends on who buys RT

Not particularly, they don't have much relations with AT&T like one might think. But it has the potential to I suppose.

 

[SilentLyfe]

Bump. Does anyone know how to calc the cane nuke?

 

[Thestrikingzebra]

Hmm I’m not sure. We might only just have to give a rough estimate.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

I mean we have an exact scan of the amount of damage that was done it just needs to be calced

 

[ShadowWhoWalks]

Published Monstra's calc, and Ironwood's nuke calc.

[Thestrikingzebra]

Oh this is interesting! We can make an argument that everyone with an aura can scale it to Vine’s aura, giving at least professional Huntsmen and villains at least High 7-C durability, likely higher.

Hazel died from taking ozpin's blast head-on but othe rpeople survived it, so you could probably inverse square law something

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Thatwas already th argument before th calc lol

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Hazel was near death and had his aura depleted, meanwhile oscar took it without issu

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

In either case VOlume 8 is the best volume because Team RWBY can no longer be downplayed to Tier 8
