Which other genres should I add? Comment in the comments.

Also, I believe Touhou Project should be the strongest Bullet hell verse.

And that Terraria should be the strongest Sandbox verse.

 

[Deidalius]

I nominate Gurren Lagann to be the strongest Mecha verse

 

[BoastJr]

yogiri takatou and shallow vernal tied for number 1 isekai character. Ruphas Mafahl for number 2 iirc

What's the origin series of those characters?

 

[Gasper]

SCP for the strongest collaborative fiction.

 

[GarrixianXD]

Pass.

 

[Gasper]

Pass.

Look man, if you don't like the verse you don't need to hate on it.

 

[Deidalius]

SCP for the strongest collaborative fiction.

Hmmm should I make a new genre just for collaborative fiction?
I feel that falls more into a medium rather than a genre.
And I'm not exactly making a tier list of all mediums like video games, web novels, books, anime, etc, you get me?

I see. You can put it into medium then.

Well this is not exactly a post about ranking the strongest characters of each medium for stories to be told.
It's about the genre of those stories.

That being said, SCP could probably rank high in the horror category (though most of their SCPs aren't meant to be scary so I'm iffy about putting them there)

Ok then, no worries.

 

[BoastJr]

all of them are isekais.

yogiri takatou from "Instant Death" (tied for 1st for now)

Shallow Vernal from "I was caught up in a hero summoning but the world is at peace". (tied for 1st for now)


Ruphas Mafah from "A wild last boss appeared" (2nd place)

other then rimuru and izayoi there isnt any strong isekai characters I can think off (pls don't bring up digimon ).

I added the first 3 you mentioned

Very well, so is SCP horror? Which genre do they fit into?

SCP is horror, yes.

 

[Gasper]

This is what SCP is officially described as on Wikipedia:
"The genres of the SCP Wiki have variously been described as science fiction, urban fantasy, horror, and creepypasta."

 

[Deidalius]

SCP is horror, yes.

Ok, do you want me to specify which characters from SCP are the strongest ones like I did to the other verses or do I just include the SCP verse by itself?

SCP Foundation characters

or

SCP Foundation characters (Character 1, Character 2, Character 3, etc)

Well, including the whole verse is kinda boring, so my choice is SCP-3125 and SCP-2747.

By the way, should I separate horror from cosmic/lovecraftian horror to give non-multiversal horror characters a chance?

Yeah

 

[Deidalius]

Yeah

SCP top tiers are cosmic/lovecraftian horror, right?

 

[Gasper]

SCP top tiers are cosmic/lovecraftian horror, right?

Yes. Most of them go into nihilism and stuff.

 

[Da3ggman]

If SCP as a verse is 1st in Lovecraftian Horror, then its namesake should probably be in 2nd.

Where are the strongest cultivation genre?

 

[Deidalius]

Where are the strongest cultivation genre?

Cultivation? As in farming?

 

[Rakih_Elyan]

Cultivation? As in farming?

Chinese qi cultivation, or Xianxia.

Basically Eastern fantasy genre.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Time travel genre
-The Doctor and his verse

 

[Naito-desu]

RPG is broad as a category given it can encompass things like TTRPG or JRPG or WRPGs. Characters like Jehovah from World of Darkness, Amaranth from Elder Scrolls, and The Great Reason from Persona probably take the top spots

Well, I added the Cultivation genre. No clue who classifies for it since I never read any of those stories.

I don't see why I should separate RPGs by area. It seems silly to me, they're mechanically the same.

Though TTRPG are mechanically very different from other RPGs so I am considering separating it.

That being said, how strong are those characters compared to each other and which genre are they from? TTRPG or normal RPGs?

First two are from TTRPGs, and are practically god tiers, Tier 0 iirc, idk how far into it they are. The Great Reason is 1-A. Usually TTRPGs have really broad resistance, and most Shin Megami/Persona characters do as well.

They're really not though. Depending on what you're talking about, you can have turn-based RPGs like Persona, retro Final Fantasy games. You can have action RPGs like Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Elder Scrolls. You can have tactical RPGs like Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics. MMORPGs like World of Warcraft, FFXIV, and Runescape. You also have tabletop strategy games like Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40k.

They have the same premise of using stats to influence gameplay but are fundamentally different in how they carry them out. RPGs are literally a tree of their own, and it's ignorant to say they're the same mechanically considering the diversity of games that fall under this umbrella.

Aren't TTRPGs tabletop roleplaying games? Skyrim and Persona aren't tabletop games

Which Leviathan? There are multiple Leviathans in fiction dude

Doomguy/Freak Shit
Champion of Evil

Who is stronger, Doomguy or Freak shit?

 

[Naito-desu]

I made a mistake, WoD is the TTRPG, Elder Scrolls is an action RPG, Persona is turn based JRPG

 

[Samael_010]

The Unwritten

 

[Shmooply]

I'm not entirely sure, so I just put the slash there.

 

[Aether2734]

Simon/anti spiral for strongest mecha i guess?

 

[DarkVoid]

I think Dr. Monty can be added to both the strongest first-person shooter character list and the strongest zombie apocalypse character list.
