One thing that has been discussed a bit is this. Deok-su jumping off a bridge with no injury, however he does land in water instead of just hitting the ground or solid concrete. And falls that high into water are survivable from what I can tell.
That, and after looking at the profiles, they need some heavy revisions given how outdated they are & the lack of scans for certain stats.

Technically, the KE value would still be accurate; but it is true the actual pressure via splashing in water as opposed to solid ground would generate far less pressure. But from crazier heights, landing water does still become lethal territory. Worst case scenario is the "+" sign needs to go. There are definitely a lot of Street level feats throughout the series though. Especially since some of the players have backgrounds about being in the marine corps or special forces.

It's worth acknowledging that he is considerably stronger and a better fighter than he was in season 1. He went from not being able to match a single guard to being able to overpower a group of guards single handedly. Some lifting strength upgrades are also to be taken into account; with season 1 even being at least Athletic human.

Technically due to being Rich and what he pulled off in the season, he would have preperation?
If yall are down we can revise the verse (I can revise Gi Hun)

Preparation is a good start for Gi-Hun; as well as improvement martial arts, stealth mastery, and marksmanship

Gi-Hun also needs a feat section for both seasons 1 and 2, he has a lot of good intelligence and intuition feats that should be noted. Along with social influencing and general resourcefulness. Right now barely anything is on there so someone who hasn’t watched the show wouldn’t have much to go on.

That would be good.

Doesn't he only have a few feats in Season 1? He was mostly clueless there

Not really iirc but I haven’t watched season 1 in a while, I’d have to rewatch it . Only a few feats is still worth adding tbh even if there really isn’t much. I’m sure there’s some interesting feats tho considering he won.

He still has quite a few to think of; obviously using his hand to block the shank knife at the last second, licking the back of the honey comb to get the umbrella out, and choosing the idea to stick with team mates.

Thats true, but the stuff really shines in S2
Planning the whole attack, the teeth tracker, the operation, being suspicious of 001 even though he had the perfect acting, the whole using the mask thing at the finale and more

Yep that stuff is absolutely needed for a season 2 key, the fact that he managed to save a ton of players in red light green light should be noted too. Feat for leadership and social influencing. They did turn on him after tho I guess.

Technically he gained all their trust.
X Voters, trusted him and wanted to escape
O Voters, trusted him and wanted him to help them win

True I forgot about that, they did start doubting him after game 2 was different and not what he said, so that’s prob why I got mixed up. Edit: Was also not everyone as most people didn’t know he thought the next game was the cookie one.

It's obvious that they changed up the games because of Gi-Hun. And it could be considered that everyone else figured it's the guards becoming self aware is what made the decision to change up the games. In fact, Mingle was the 3rd game because they didn't think Tug of War would kill contestants fast enough. And it was their method of glass bridge starting sooner rather than later.

I don’t know, unless it said in the first season or somewhere in the current one that the games are usually the same (haven’t watched in a bit) I imagine they probably always switch it up for the VIPs, for entertainment purposes. Could be wrong. They definitely designed it this time around with Gi-Hun in mind though. Hence why the first game was the same but not the few after, they probably wanted to mess with him.

The first 4 games all seemed familiar to everyone, but it was Glass Bridge and Squid Game that the VIPs all seemed confused about and Front Man had to explain what they are. And it was because of games like them that they viewed Korea as having the best games. No one outside of Korea even knew there was a children's game called Squid until they watched Squid game; and even then, most who actually watched the show are still confused about what the game actually is. Probably because when actually played as the final game; they don't actually play it traditionally. And instead turn it into a game of real life Mortal Kombat.

Yeah falls from that height into water are 100% survivable. Most commercial diving boards can go up to 10 meters tall, so even normal average joes can survive falls from simular heights into water without injury
iirc there are some bone breaking feats though so the Squid Game cast is still 9-C
1 thing I also want to mention is that in one of the lights out fights in Season 1 we saw a guy break another guys neck, so we might also see some Class 1 LS for the verse as well
