Slight AP upgrade for The Nostalgia Critic.

[Redacted_Flinn]

Hello guys, before I start, I wanna say I don't disagree with the calc you guys did on Nostalgia Critic (Whoever made that, major kudos to you my good sir.) But I have to be honest... I think Doug's profile should be upgraded In AP to:

"High 5-A, possibly 3-C/Low 2-C..."

Why? One main reason... The Critic has fought The Angry Video Game Nerd multiple times. And has shown himself to be Nerd's equal. Before you say, this was not the result of Critic's Subjective Reality Powers, nor was it a one-time crossover. The Nerd and Critic have fought/teamed up more times than most comic book superheroes...

Another time AVGN meets Critic (Though this may not count since they aren't in-character): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBOW9ythzO0

Overall, there's a ton of evidence to support that Nostalgia Critic and Nerd exist in the same universe, and that Critic is equal in power to Base Nerd, and Universe Fused Nerd (Though not High 1-C Nerd, Critic is weaker than Death Mwauthzyx). Please take this into consideration, and thank you for reading...

Before anyone says, i'm not saying all of Critic's crossovers are legit (Such as the Jontron cameo, or Nerd's Gilbert Gotfried and Malculey Culken cameos) most of them are one-shots or outleirs. But since they've crossovered so many times, it seems kinda silly to consider them seperate canons...

 

[Cropfist]

I agree with this.

 

[Redacted_Flinn]

Cropfist: Thank you

 

[Spinoirr]

I mean if it happened multiple times and they share the same verse basically then its fine

 

[DMUA]

Didn't AVGN kick the Critic's teeth in every time they actually fought

Let the damn abomination thread finish first.

Not Really, the first time they fought was a tie, the second time was also a tie, the third time was a tie until Nerd put on his power armor, then Critic was killing power armor Nerd after he got possessed by The Devil until SMDC stopped him. Plus, Critic survived an attack from Super Mecha Death Christ, who is equal to, if not slightly stronger than Nerd. Critic has never technically lost a matchup against Nerd, all three fights were essentually ties...

 

[DMUA]

Hmm

Even then I remember something about how the Nerd's 3-C feat was via his head exploding and not really applicable to normal AP but that's another thing

 

[Redacted_Flinn]

I suppose... Currently Nerd and Guitar Guy both scale to Nerd's galaxy busting feat. So it seems fair to give Critic a similar tier since again, 3 fights ended in stalemates between the two.
