Could you change the suggested A-class heroes downgrade from "8-C" to "at least 9-A, 8-C"? If we do so, that can be approved, as our staff members here have approved this rating. If you are okay with that, here is how I would change every High 8-C hero's tiering:
As stated, A-class level individuals who could reasonably defeat Kombu infinity may remain at "
high 8-C". Stinger (one-shot numerous tiger level, wolf level sea folk), Great Philosopher (stronger than Stinger), Death Gatling (devastated tree line against Garou, did superficial damage to HEO), Heavy Tank Fundoshi (near S-class level according to Sitch) and Magic Trick Man (near S-class level) have all demonstrated that they are what is unofficially referred to as "high-tiger, above tiger". These should remain at
High 8-C. They also happen to be some of the mostly highly ranked A-class heroes, which may be an indication of their superior strength.
Spring Mustachio should be "8-C,
High 8-C with Tomboy", as he was able to defend against Kombu Infinity for an extended period of time and actually pierced Kombu Infinity's hair with Tomboy. Snakebite Snek should be 8-C, as he scales above Dave through his performance in the tournament. Lightning Max should also be 8-C, because he "hit with more oomph" than Snek according to Suiryu.
Every other A-class hero should be "At least
9-A (able to defeat Tiger level threats consistently), likely
8-C (should be as strong as Snek, who is superior to Dave)".
The following heroes should be downgraded to that "at least 9-A, likely 8-C" tier as they do not scale to the aforementioned heroes. If there are an alterations or objections, please let me know: Lightning Genji (can't be much stronger than Electric Catfish Man + Maiko Plasma), Golden Ball (Had nothing to offer against Kombu Infinity), Narcisstoic, Shadow Ring, Feather, One-Shotter and Chain N' Toad.
These B-class heroes should also downscale "at least 9-A, likely 8-C": Captain Mizuki and Needlestar.
Child Emperor's Physicals should downscale to this tier I think. He's likely low A-class level when we consider his brain development with the Okame mask. I would like to hear thoughts on this.
Zombieman's physicals can stay where they are, he held his own against Pureblood with his blades well enough. His durability should downscale to this tier however, since tiger level monsters seem to be able to significantly harm him.
How does that sound?
