Also, if they are able to make them with their own power, then they should scale.

That's literally what I just said. I can give you an example of a character who can casually shit out an attack that can one-shot themselves, that being Goku with the Dragon Fist. This attack consistently one-shots his enemies in like every media ever even when they're capable of One-Shoting him yet he it doesn't seem to be draining him at all, even in extremely power consuming forms like Super Saiyan 3 in its debut.

Absolutely ******* not.

I don’t know why you are dragging in a non-canon attack but sicne he is able to output that level of energy within himself and withstand it, he should still scale.

You can believe anything as much as you want and I don't want to sound like a dick but just because you believe something doesn't make it true.
- 1,471

Expect I believe it is true and have provided solid evidence for it. Again, the construct is generated with the same energy he used for attacks and defense. He should scale.
XSOULOFCINDERX
They/Them- 19,027

And I've given you an example of a character that has the same situation as Vine yet doesn't scale to it. Even if you don't accept it because it's Non-Canon then there's also Vegeta with his Final Flash. It's not as casual but when charged up to the maximum then it could easily kill Vegeta himself since it's like 40× stronger than himself at least given how it was way stronger than Goku's SSBK×20 Spirit Bomb when it was charged up as much as possible.
- 1,471

Expect that the construct Vine made isn’t an attack. It’s literally a bubble. He wouldn’t have any reason to be harmed by it. Add the fact that it’s explicitly said to be an extension of his aura, and he scales.
XSOULOFCINDERX
They/Them- 19,027

Yet he still got One-Shot while at nearly an entirely full Aura since it was never stated that using his Semblance on a massive scale for even a brief period of time will just delete his reserves.
- 1,471
- 1,271
That doesn’t matter in the slightest as he is still able to make it. And, again, it has been shown that semblances don’t drain aura at the same rate.
XSOULOFCINDERX
They/Them- 19,027

Bro it literally one-shot him. It doesn't matter if he can make it he gets killed by something that his Semblance can tank, it means he doesn't scale to his own Semblance. What's worse is that he can actively use his Semblance as an attack thats stronger than him as shown by how casually he broke Blake's aura with it during his fight with her and Yang.
I wasn't comparing him to other characters, I was comparing him to himself.
- 1,471
- 1,271
That means that Blake and Yang scale to his semblance then. Also, why would he just not scale to thing he is creating with his own power?
XSOULOFCINDERX
They/Them- 19,027

How in the **** does Blake scale to something that casually shattered her aura? That makes no ******* sense.
Because fiction is stupid like that sometimes. There are literally millions of franchises who give their characters powers, whether offensive, defensive or both, that Massively outscale themselves. RWBY is no different.
- 1,471

Because she was already fighting Elm as well and she still survived the attack. And mind you, she still had her aura up. It just caused her to shimmer.
XSOULOFCINDERX
They/Them- 19,027

I'm pretty certain it straight up broke. Either way, the fact that it shimmered means it hit her really hard as auras only ever shimmer like that from one attack if it's a lot stronger than them. Either way, point being is that fiction allows for characters to do shit that's impossible, like outputting a hell of a lot more power than you can actually survive without it being detrimental. Hell, people in real life can actually output enough force to significantly harm themselves beyond their own durability so this isn't even that crazy of a concept.
- 1,471
- 1,271
That still means they are able to survive said output. And I just rewatched the scene and saw that it was a shimmer. Also, if the attack was like stronger than her, she would have just died lol.
XSOULOFCINDERX

You're not listening. Real Life People can output more power than they can withstand, its a pretty common injury for people who do sports, wrestling and other stuff like that to sometimes harm themselves more than other people do because they tries too hard. Fiction takes that issue away from a lot of characters because they like having people have durability that makes no ******* sense.
You can survive things stronger than yourself IRL, so long as it isn't massively more powerful than you are.
Honestly this entire problem seems to stem from you not truly understanding how fiction and irl physics work.
- 1,471

My guy, if they are still able to live after outputting the attacks, they scale either way. They may be hurt, but they scale.
XSOULOFCINDERX
They/Them- 19,027

If they're literally hurting themselves then they clearly don't scale to their own shit, so you're just wrong. Do you think Deku scales to his max power whenever it's literally destroying his own body? He's physically outputting that much power so clearly he must scale to it by your logic.

It does??? Then unless I'm missing something here, this means that the whole crossover within itself is canon to RWBY.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the end of the movie is going to have a tease for Volume 10 if we get to see who Kilg%re is working with from Remnant

RWBY GOD Tier Revision Thread!
Oh boy is it RWBY lore dumping time! So with the newly released volume 9, we uncovered the full origins of the two brothers who serve as the respective ‘Gods’ of the RWBY verse. And of course, new abilities and ratings are to follow. Powers And Abilities: Starting off, we’ll be discussing the...

Movies are considered canon adjacent. Which basically means they are canon but won’t be referenced in the main series. I think we should get separate profiles ready for these versions of the characters.

Yeah trying to scale someone to an explosion that vaporized them is just
never gonna work
- 1,471
- 1,271
It wasn't scaling Vine's durablity to the explosion per say. Just the fact that he can create something that can contain the explosion means his aura scales.
