Skill Tier List #1: Video Games vs Comics

[Tomfer]

well, what's the line?

On how it's done?

Throwing someone out of the solar system is just a feat of strength and using pressure points against a Herald level opponent is a tier feat (possibly, pressure point sometimes can be used as dura neg) while curing a blind person via pressure point is just goofy.

At the barest minimum it should respect the laws of physics and biomechanics. Combat Skill was created and evolved under those laws.

Talking about skill, do we have an official page for it or some guidelines?

 

[M3X_2.0]

Thankfully we don’t. That would’ve been dumb.

 

[Eclipso]

Would be far from the dumbest thing VSBW has done

 

[M3X_2.0]

That’s because it’s not a competition.

He didn't throw him, he redirected his momentum.

I think IMO what matters is that there is some reasoning for the skill. Even if it makes no sense "can make someone's heart explode by tapping five spots on the body fast enough" has a reasoning behind it so it should be fine. "Can become intangible lol", not really

Even the deepest and well thought of reasoning can't make cutting through space and time a legitimate skill feat. If you step outside the bounds of physics, you simply dont have skill. Whatever youre arguing for has to respect the laws of physics at the bares minimum. If it dosnt, its not worth discussing.

that's what i was saying

I misunderstood then

in this case

Knocking out a universal character with a pressure point is definitely not it

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Shit like that shouldn't be thrown out. It's just normal pressure points taken to the far, exaggerated extreme. Like...most skills presented in this thread.

It's obviously, and clearly different than turning intangible through skill.

 

[First_Witch]

in this case

Knocking out a universal character with a pressure point is definitely not it

...If them being universal did matter, you woudn't be able to Pressure Point them, lest youre telling me said characters are somehow not universal in dura at those specific points or the character in question has poking strength strong enough bridge the massive AP gap. If it didnt matter, its not particulary more impressive than pressure pointing someone of compareable physical strength.

Or mayhaps how the feat is to be understood is wrong, and the feat lies in managing to pressure point far stronger than one self mid combat, because any mistake would spell out certain death. In that case its really just a "Outskill someone far stronger than yourself" feat.

 

[First_Witch]

Granted I dont know which character we are talking nor the context of said feat so take what I said with a grain of salt.

 

[Silvervigilant]

in this case

Knocking out a universal character with a pressure point is definitely not it

I just wanna say that striking others pressure points can be considered a skill feat, since it requires a certain amount of knowledge, finesse, and precision to successfully do it.

No dovahkiin, this list was already a starting L.

 

[TheGatememer]

Scout, Tracer, and Little Mac do not belong on the list, like at all lmao. All three are skilled in their own right, but nothing that is worth writing home about

[Scathan_The_Celestial]

Why is akuma, shujinko and no other video game characters on here even basic ones are above tracer and scout

 

[Tony_di_bugalu]

Cuz no one cares about VG skillz

 

[Scathan_The_Celestial]

This thread is about that lol

 

[TheGatememer]

If you have to include a TF2 and Overwatch character, at least include Spy and Doomfist instead of Tracer and Scout

 

[Shmooply]

You can't convince me that Mav didn't just add random favorite characters to the list because the goober didn't know who to put on there in the first place.

How can you say something so controversal yet so brave

 

[Shmooply]

wait shit i meant to say for video game characters i think mav put alright reps for the comics section

except the **** is thor and crossbones doing here lmao

but yeah, vg reps seem like a random character button was pressed

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

Smh Scout being severely underestimated

Steve from Minecraft

 

[Tomfer]

Open to suggestions

I think someone named dropped Travis Touchdown with a few good examples of his feats, I think he's a good pick

Smh Scout being severely underestimated

And just out of spite, make Travis take Scout's place.

 

[Shmooply]

Taxes Trickledown solos the entire verse in skill anyways

 

[Bobsican]

Mario is a legitimate candidate if someone was willing to defend him.

 

[Armorchompy]

Is he? I can't say I've ever read a comprehensive list but while he's really good I don't think he's got many amazing gigafeats

 

[Bobsican]

One could easily argue he'd be above Sonic, for reference.

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

Checking his profile I don’t think Mario is that much more impressive than Tracer/Scout tbh

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

One could easily argue he'd be above Sonic, for reference.

You really couldn't.

 

[TheGatememer]

Mario is a legitimate candidate if someone was willing to defend him.

ngl I'm pretty sure even Gatekeeper skillfucks him

 

[koopa3144]

Ngl while Mario doesn't have insane skill feats, I wouldn't say he's lacking in the skill department.

 

[Armorchompy]

I mean he's good I just don't think he has that many notable feats as far as I know.

 

[Da3ggman]

To be fair, what hasn't Mario done at this point? Wouldn't be surprised if he's mastered a couple dozen martial arts.
