RWBY's Old Calcs Has Became MRKs Overtime

To state the obvious: the arm canons are hollow because they are canons...they are meant to be barrels that shoot projectiles. There's absolutely no reason to assume that the other parts are hollow because they themselves have no function from being hollow (other than the cockpit).
 
Having it move would require functions and inside engineering, and trying to find a proper number for how much that would be for a Mecha capable of jumping and making poses is impossible. Saying they aren't hollow at all is obviously wrong though.
 
The obviously part is because it had to be put together. They couldn't just pour metal into Mecha-leg shape and call it quits. Logically they would first need to make a skeleton, then make the wiring for movement, then whatever it uses as muscles, and then put on the exoskeleton.
 
Of course. That's why I used the hollowness of machines, which is 30%.
 
I'm not quiet sure it would need anywhere near 70%, the outside body seems simply armor put on the machine that makes it tick, but I don't overly mind it to be honest.
 
Several mechanical limbs are specifically made to be lightweight, for exemple, but this is far too logic for rwby to begin with as far as I am concerned.
 
Why does the Leviathan have Multi-City Block level+ AP?

This justification "Team RWBY and JNR alongside Qrow couldn't significantly harm or take it out themselves. Required the assistance of Ruby's Silver Eyes and the Atalesian Colossus to put it dow" is just durability.
 
Did it manage to harm itself somehow? Like by throwing a punch?
 
Supporting what Risci is saying.

Honestly, I don't think there's any real accurate way for us to gauge how massive it is just from looking at it from the outside. I think we just don't have enough info to properly calc it.

Considering an explosion that was likely OOMs less than the result of the calcs trashed an entire arm, it's very likely these assumptions that were made inflated the calc to the point where it could be considered an outlier.
 
While we're at it, where does High 8-C come from? The only thing I can think of is beating merged King Taijitu who apparently has the power of 4 normal King Taijitu? In that case, everyones High 8-C justification needs changing.
 
It comes from ruby one shoting a nevermore that would take before volume 4 team rwby to kill and the nevermores feat of crashing into that ruins

I thought we didn't apply tier upgrades for stomping someone else in the tier. Yeah, sure it's casual and it's over 1 ton. but I'm pretty sure I remember someone stating we don't hand out a new tier no matter how close you are, and believe me, I've seen people stupidly close to the tier above them. As in, mere decimal points away. Unless the rules changed or anything.
 
We actually do bump up characters to the next tier if they stomp someone that is super close to the next tier. But you can't bump up someone to the + sign via stomping even if they are super close to the + sign.

Well if it's allowed then I don't have issue with it. Still prefer beating Merged King Taijitu since it's more concrete (and higher in the tier), but consider my complaint quelled.
 
Speaking of Nevermores, I thought they were accepted at Class 50? When I see the calc I only see the low end accepted, so why is Class K being used? Did I miss a thread or anything?
 
Just because the calc is accepted and has the potential to be used doesn't mean it should be applied without making a CRT first.

My apologies. I can undo the edits and bring up the calc here if you want.

90% of that is knockback, which isn't actually overcoming durability in any way, but rather hitting with enough force to move it off-balance.

An 8-B scythe strike with a bladed weapon concentrating all its force on such a small part of the mech would absolutely do something like that to an 8-A, even a Low 7-C. The mech running/attacking something would spread the force uniformly around the body (with the force concentrated on the impact point, the drill, so you could actually see how much durability that specific area would have needed to not fall apart from the force of that charge compared to the force Ruby is hitting it with over a certain area.

I don't think that was the case. Ruby in episode 8 was an 8-C at the time, and was unable to concentrate that 8-C force into her scythe and one-shot the Nevermore in it's first appearance. Something with a far smaller AP gap than Ruby and the mech. She only killed it after being boosted by a combination of Weiss's glyphs, and recoil from her weapon boosting her further. It's clearly not something she would have been able to do without that plan.

I'm just saying I don't think the surface area of her scythe focusing her force didn't play that big of a role.
 
The feat is what makes her 8-C. Her having difficulty doing it isn't directly equatable to her schyte not cutting like blades should.
 
My apologies. I can undo the edits and bring up the calc here if you want.

The CRT about 7-B Maidens hasn't been made yet, and I'm pretty sure there wasn't enough discussions and approvals of 7-B Maidens in this thread. Those edits needs to be undone until there is enough approvals and evaluations of several staff members.
 
Never, since they don't scale to the mech in any reasonable way to begin with.

Being able to damage it and all

We don't consider chip damage as grounds for scaling.

You could theoretically calculate how much force/energy Ruby would have had to apply to scratch it relative to what it needs to withstand not to fall apart under its own weight, but that would consitute as calc stacking.
 
Lightbuster30 said:
Was it Jaune or Sun who got hit the the mechs arm?
Click to expand...
Yes, because this is obviously the same as the mech charging full-speed at the Leviathan.

Again you can actually calc how much force/energy hits Jaune from the mass of the arm, speed of the arm, and the area over which it hits Jaune.

And even the, it causes an aura-break. Which is practically a borderline oneshot.

And if you notice, it appears Jaune gave an aura-boost to Nora, increasing her durability at that.
 
Pretty sure ramming into something hard enough to knock it over would constitute scaling to it

No?

Pushing/staggering something just involves being capable of moving its weight around, not overcoming its durability. It's why if a kid tackles a grown man when he doesn't have solid footing, he'll often fall over, despite the vast difference in strength between the two. It's why you and I can lift around a 200 lb block of steel, but can't dream of breaking it with our fists.

Then calc the speed of the arm for kinetic energy? I never said we should scale them to the entire mecha just for that.
Click to expand...
Ah, sorry. Lumped you it with someone else's argument. I'm fine with calcing the arm and how much force hit Jaune as a result.
