No offense, but you say this a lot… and you really don’t understand how it works. Downscaling is done when a character is inferior, but still displays some degree of comparability. Getting severely damaged, but still surviving, isn’t grounds for durability downscaling. That’s a stamina feat, but not a durability feat.
I'm done with arguing for the prisoner thing, but I do disagree with this methodology.
Being able to stay intact after being hit will always mean something. For example, if a baseline 3-B character with infinite stamina is punched by a 3-A character, they are going to be blown to piece and die instantly no matter what. You would have to be insanely far above baseline 3-B+ for it to not like atomize you or something. When it comes to sword cutting off limbs, that's just a case in which the victim didn't stay intact at all, so it doesn't really count, but if you take a non suppressed punch from someone and don't get a hole punched through you or blown up or your limbs fly off from it, then it does say something about your durability from being able to completely maintain your structure, even if it causes immense pain and damage. There are different kinds of one shots, which I think the wiki doesn't really make a good differentiation between.
1. Being able to punch someone and knock them out or cause them to cough big amounts of blood etc.
2. Being able to punch someone and crack their bones
3. being able to punch someone and completely shatter all of their bones
4. Being able to punch someone and instantly blow them up into a pile of meat
Personally I feel as though with case 1, the gap would be most accurately represented by the difference between "at most 7-B" and 7-B or "at least 7-B", or something like that
There needs to be a clear difference shown between being one shot to a much lesser degree than 3 and 4 and still staying intact.
Because again, stamina is literally
never going to save you if an attack really is strong enough to actually be like a 50 times gap or something insane like that (which is even smaller of a gap than what high 7-C to high 7-A+ would suggest)
It wouldn’t scale to Bang and Bomb for similar reasons.
honestly they did nowhere near the amount of damage that darkshine did anyways, and were using a rush attack from both sides.
