RWBY's Old Calcs Has Became MRKs Overtime

We actually do count Chip damage as grounds for scaling depending on if said Chip isn't completely minuscule

What applies for one verse need not apply for RWBY. Considering the feat that's trying to be scaled (kinetic energy of the mech running) would, for durability, only account for the minimum durability needed for it to not collapse in on itself, what Ruby did with a bladed weapon could easily be OOMs below that result. Context matters, which is why the exception you listed isn't the rule.

4-B as a tier also covers a large number of magnitudes, far more than that between 8-B and whatever calc result came out for the mech, so obivously it isn't difficult to consider the backscaling in the same tier.
 
Well, I mean maybe? if the armor completely and utterly tanked 4-B attacks previously like it were childs play, then it might be okay to apply chip damage seeing as chip damage is > No damage at all.

But as you said, it depends on the context, and I don't think the mech has been portrayed as a complete tank to it's own energy output.

I mean, yeah, an entire arm was destroyed by a blast that is orders of magnitude less than the KE calc.
 
The Kinetic energy of that arm slap won't give results higher than either 9-A or 8-C. It's pointless since the arm is moving very slowly and Jaune takes up a small surface area.

Beside the earthquake and the mech's charge, there aren't any good feats. The Leviathan breath attack comes out to High 8-C and it wouldn't scale either way.
 
Well at least we don't get the whole "Rwby gets stomped by 88 ton characters" deal anymore.
 
Wait, shouldn't Ruby scale to the Earthquake caused by the mech? It was the force of her blow that knocked the mech into the cliff causing the earthquake.
 
It's weight caused it, her knock only tilted it a little, and it isn't considered eligable for an earthquacke because of it's low range.

Um, and who forced that weight backwards? That thing wasn't making Earthquakes everytime it moved or ran before with it's weight.
 
It wasn't falling on it's back with full force everytime it moved.

It just tripped and gravity did it's thing. It's blatant that Rwby didn't give it much momentum at all.

And regardless, it didn't make an earthquacke when it jumped and somehow propelled foreward to strike the Grimm, so unless that attack was weaker than Ruby's blow, it's just inconsistency.
 
Saying it didn't make an earthquake while running is a fallacy. You can't call that inconsistent since I can bring that logic to every verse and say they're wrong.

You are right that they don't scale, but don't bring up fallacies.

I'm willing to bet running is going to generate more energy than slowly fallijg backwards.

No it wouldn't. Falling full body makes a lot more energy then stepping.

But then, the ground wasn't even cracked by 8-B energy, whyever is that? You can't except fiction to be consistent with the level of power every time.
 
Ricsi, stop using fallacies. You're already correct (She doesn't scale to the quake), no reason to bring in stuff that doesn't help your point. Also that weight falling has less energy than it running. The mech falling from 100 meters in the air only generates 9 tons of tnt. Stop talking about the earthquake calc, it's pointless to discuss it.
 
I am talking about it walking, which does not generate more energy than falling.

And it not making earthquackes while walking, running, or jumping is inconsistent. it's simply excused, because fiction does not need to be consistent within itself to a fault. That isn't a fallacy, it's just moot to use it as reasoning to assume Rwby is the one that hit it with so much power that it made an earthquacke.
 
Okay so like

Serious question

Did anyone ever calc Roman blocking Sun's bullets at point blank range?
 
I put it at 0.25 speed to see it properly, but I can't see a point where he moved the cane after a bullet was shot.

I mean, there were parts where his cane wasn't there before it was shot... but it wasn't there after either, and the bullets were just magically parried.
 
Well at 0:52 Sun straight up blocks a shot.

So I saw the scene in 0.25 speed and I can conclude three options:

1. Roman is blocking the hell out of all of them.

2. Roman is deflecting the nunchucks hence moving the barrels out of the way therefore moving all of the bullets in a different direction.

3. The shots don't do jack shit.
 
Ive watched the scene in slo-mo several times and can confirm that while he does bat the guns away for a few, he does also block a few bullets directly
 
I'm leaning towards number two since upon rewatching Ilia vs Sun (one of the highlights of Vol 5) she does exactly that.
 
Actually watching through the video again, Roman doesnt knock away any of Sun's nunchuck strikes, he blocks all of the shots Sun takes aat him
 
I am not doubting that. But the shots where his can is there to block them and they don't just throw in a blocked bullet animation out of nowhere, he started moving his can before it was shot. Bullet parrying is impressive when it happens after the bullet was shot.

And here bullets are not rap resented. The firing animation at the end of the nunchaku and the parrying animation are often the same, and sometimes even happen unrelated to each other. I doubt you could get anything beyond supersonic unless the nunchaku's are stated to have some quite above average bullets.
 
Yeah either way a shotgun doesn't shoot bullets as fast as rifles or automatic weapons which we've seen other characters block in the series already. Sun blocking lightning too along with Mercury and Emerald dodging lightning so I doubt it'd be faster.
 
Who agrees with city level madeins and ozma, salam and when will all this be added so I can make some matches
