I'm for a 2x flat multiplier for whatever AP she has at the time. 2x the total AP of all the hits she takes is dumb and NLF.

But if you still want to debate about aura durability all of what you say was already accounted for from the Mercury fight. Both Yang and Mercury were at 100% aura when the fight started and Mercury specifically left her just enough aura to use her semblance without it depateing her. It wouldn't be above Jaune's dura as he took a hit from the Low 7-C colossus without his aura going down even while amping Nora's aura on top of it, meaning scaling Mercury to V3 amped Yang would be fine.
All of this because Mercury vs Yang being a controlled setting with direct real time aura level tracking thanks to the tournament

mercury already onshots everyone in Volumes 1-4 that isn't Qrow Level and by the time that the main cast catch's up to him in power they have a scaling chain of oneshots above their previous keys and can partially damage a low 7-C mech that's built to kill low 7-C grimm. Also if they are 8-A that explains how their bullets couldn't hurt the Leviathan but did enough to destract it so the most that this would mess with is the Post Haven cast being upgraded to 8-A

Something something "RWBY's depiction of Aura is inconsistent and that's an outlier rather than a legit feat"

If I poke a blue whale with a pin needle does that make me or the pin needle 9-A?
A bunch of ants can annoy the shit out of me and that still wouldn't make them anywhere close to 10-B.

1. Semblance Amped Yang literally destroyed salem's entire torso and did more damage than Hazel
2. None of the instances brought up in this thread exceed Jaune's best showings and no one scales to her max AP
3. Mercury wasnt even hit with her max AP to begin with

That still the same as my blue whale argument. I'm not 9-A for cutting the side of a blue whale, nor do I scale to the whale's dura by pushing it since that's not causing it harm.

Ah yes, so thorns are capable of cutting humans, so they're 10-B, possibly 10-A for doing just that.

Glass you literally agreed that yangs semblance worked that way

Ruby making a scratch on the colossus isn't the same as me agreeing with Yang's semblance. What are you even trying to argue here?

Again, more than half of them aren't here and Idk if whoever's even here wants to talk about RWBY so we're both SoL.

He did say he's fine with the 2X amp, which is ok, like at this point we've tackled every single point you've made, is there anything else you have to prove whatever it is beyond "it's not an outlier"? If you don't then I'm just gonna have this thread closed since we're just going in circles at this point.

Spinoirr I'd say just take the change for description of the ap and get higher and make a note in her profile if need be for anything else that needs to be clarified about the semblance or her AP.
I'd say that's a more favorable outcome than this getting closed and nothing changing the way it's going already
The 2x amp is fine and we've already gotten that proved at least so there's no point in getting this closed and rejected without at least getting some kind of change

I was informed on a wrong choice of words, in order for something to be an outlier, there needs to be a demonstration of a feat that got a certain level. Multiplier stacking is often inflated not because of "Outlier" but the term for that is hyperbole or calculation fallacy. Anyway, I'm still iffy about stacking the the combined AP of every attack she took on the battlefield and it assuming she can double all of that in all her punches; the 2x multiplier part I don't mind so much and it assuming she gets stronger as she takes damage is reasonable. But I do not need to repeat myself about what damage stacking is.

Weekly asked me to post an opinion I expressed in DMs here, so here's the screenshots of those DMs (1, 2). @Sir_Ovens @Theglassman12
I have not read any of this thread nor am I familiar with the verse.

What you've said at the mid end of the second screenshot is basically my thoughts, just use the multiplier and don't rely on the punches. It gets to outlier territory for this series given a certain bomb is considered a threat to the cast, and applying this multiplier would put them at the same ball park as said bomb.

@Glass Weekly says you're wrong about that, but idk the series, y'all experts can debate that amongst yourselves.
Outlier-ness aside (as that would be a dealbreaker I can't speak on myself), to reiterate, I don't care much either way, I can see reasons why it would be accepted and reasons why it would be rejected. I'd lean a bit towards the more pessimistic side (since counting the punches is extrapolated rather than stated), but would be fine with however the site as a whole decides to treat this.

If you want to give Yang Low 7-B at max Semblance via scaling to Salem go ahead. I'm not going to debate the legitimacy of that because I'm tired and don't really care.
I'm just against this super contrived method of giving her Low 7-B.

Well Weekly can claim I’m wrong for as long he wants to, he’s not debunking crap until he gives me evidence to prove otherwise, which he’s failed to do so.
@Spinoirr your upgrades for the verse are shaky at best and you either don’t give the full context for the feats or when you do, you give contracting evidence. Me and ovens are merely pointing out said contradictions.

I mean the bomb did have a higher calc like a high end because it had different ends to it
I don't think calc ends should be chosen post-hoc by verse experts simply because of what works best with their later scaling. They should be chosen by calc group members because of what's most reasonable, and if the low-end they chose makes some proposed scaling an outlier, then so be it.
