Tekken CRT: Some Issues in Kazuya's Scaling

Okay. I think that you seem to make better logical sense in that case, BlackDarkness679, but you still seem to have an ongoing problem with your temper, so you need to work on that. Maybe you can listen to somatic relaxation music via Spotify or somesuch to help you out? 🙏

I don't see how they make more sense, to be honest. I do agree that everything they're saying points to the Devil Gene providing a boost in power, yes. However, they're arguing it's specifically a 10x multiplier off of a statement that's only referring to the strengthening of cellular compounds to 10x the strength of those of a normal human. This isn't quite the same as a statement of a 10x multiplier to Attack Potency, let alone Speed, from a previous form - despite the fact that the multiplier is currently being applied to both. And as our Multipliers page states, we need to have stated multipliers for these statistics, rather than reasoning them from something else
 
So it did not refer to a strengthening of 10x compared to the previous already superhuman state?
 
You're only making things worse for yourself. And Saman's response is pretty clearly against wiki standards considering we don't allow multipliers to be reasoned, like with stuff like "I doubt it means something other than this." If it's not a direct statement of boosting power/speed, it just doesn't qualify. And a transformation can provide a gap in power by simply being unquantifiably stronger. It doesn't have to be a multiplier. Everything you're saying points to it being stronger, yes, but not by 10x. Simple as.
Same arguments with no basis, also thanks for proving you dont accept the very staff you called simply cuz he disagrees with you

Even now you didnt argue the scene in question contradicting you and also the others times cell mixing in the series results in physical enhacements, especially a young man in the same movie becoming superhuman thanks to genetic experimentation with cells
I reported you because your behavior's a clear rule violation, and it's not the first time you've been reported and faced consequences for that
Ah yes the 1st one where you falsely accused me only and not the OP for numerous instances of lying and going off by vibe scaling instead of concrete, with you coming there past halfway only

And another cuz a fanboy felt offended to be told their character loses to another, also these instances happened long ago and you lie i didnt learn anything? I have been minding my own business till your CRT and you come here victimizing yourself over things like getting offended by being called out ignorant to a fault and you dont show signs of proving it otherwise
 
It did not. The statement is as follows:
Hmm. That seems a bit vague, given that a regular human would be far weaker.

Also, BlackDarkness679, please try to calm down. This is not such an extremely important issue. 🙏
 
So it did not refer to a strengthening of 10x compared to the previous already superhuman state?
He claims a statement for a multiplier isnt a multiplier for the physicals just cuz it says "The devil gene acts like a catalyst. It strengthens his cellular compounds to ten times that of a normal human"

Even though the scene in question where the statement is being made has the character in question stomp the other stats wise

On top of cell mixing in the series being done or were intended to be done to create life forms with physical improvements or to make others superhuman physically

Along boosts/transformations of this power all shown in the series to have big gaps between them

Clover deliberately ignores all of these and just repeats the same thing over and over with nothing new to add up on this, even the only staff of this verse he called out himself disagrees with him, yet keeps persisting
I will just quote my reply from a few moments earlier, Clover beats around the bush on purpose on a matter already explained several times, the series debunks anything he claims
 
Same arguments with no basis, also thanks for proving you dont accept the very staff you called simply cuz he disagrees with you
I'm not obligated to agree with the staff I call in. I just called him because he's the only staff member that's a supporter for Tekken

Well yeah, they're not really relevant to this argument. Like... Again, yes, this all absolutely proves that the Devil Gene makes you stronger and we see that in how it affects previously normal humans. But this isn't evidence for a 10x boost to both AP and speed from a previous form, as that's not what's being referred to her.

I won't comment on the report further after this because it's not relevant to this thread, but your behavior here (and refusal to accept your bans as legitimate) shows you haven't learned, yes. I'm not victimizing myself or anything, I'm just asking you to follow the site rules
I will just quote my reply from a few moments earlier, Clover beats around the bush on purpose on a matter already explained several times, the series debunks anything he claims
Kindly refrain from the baseless accusations, please. A Tekken downgrade should not warrant all this
 
Hmm. That seems a bit vague, given that a regular human would be far weaker.

Also, BlackDarkness679, please try to calm down. This is not such an extremely important issue. 🙏
Yeah. The thing is that BlackDarkness's examples all perfectly validate the Devil Gene providing such a boost to the cellular compounds of a normal human. The problem is that they're not relevant to the scene in question here, where there is a power boost, but not one with evidence of being 10x specifically
 
Humans in this series are superhuman, i wouldnt listen to Clover downplaying interpretation
It specifically mentions a "normal human," which is supported further by the very examples you gave.

And again, quit it with the random accusations just because someone disagrees with you and is downgrading Tekken. You're making things worse for yourself
 
Can you please list the evidence for that the boost was 10x for Kazuya compared to his own previous state and not in comparison to weaker humans? Otherwise we know that it would be a boost that likely warrants an "At least..." rating, but probably not much more. 🙏
 
I'm not obligated to agree with the staff I call in. I just called him because he's the only staff member that's a supporter for Tekken
You arent obligated? Then why should i be? Just cuz you got a role?

Mhm yeah sure....the statement is made during the scene and lore says cells boost your power too, under what assumption should a stated multiplier it gives not mean for physicals given all mentioned? You saying its irrelevant has no meaning
I won't comment on the report further after this because it's not relevant to this thread, but your behavior here (and refusal to accept your bans as legitimate)
Calling you ignorant isnt hostility and neither any of your reports are, you are victimizing yourself in here thats what you do
shows you haven't learned, yes. I'm not victimizing myself or anything, I'm just asking you to follow the site rules
A reason why i should i accept unfair punishments when one from you excluded the other party from this and other was from a salty fanboy whom deleted their comment as well to act like he didnt say anything
Kindly refrain from the baseless accusations, please. A Tekken downgrade should not warrant all this
You tried to downgrade Devil Kazuya without even looking from who he got the rating in the first place, limiting it only from two characters that atm are lower, accusation is justified
It specifically mentions a "normal human," which is supported further by the very examples you gave.
And the characters in the roster are what? Ghosts? Especially Heihachi and Lars which are just regular humans, when Jin and Kazuya loses their power he claims both are just mere humans after, the x10 is literally including these in this, again you beat around the bush
 
Clover and BlackDarkness, stop bickering please, and just stick to the facts of this issue instead. Thank you. 🙏

"Weaker humans"

im just gonna quote from earlier
Otherwise we know that it would be a boost that likely warrants an "At least..." rating, but probably not much more. 🙏
Ant the statement is made during a scene where Kazuya stomps on Jin badly using a transformation against his base form, other forms or boosts with the devil gene never made turned the scale in power to this degree

And cell mixing in the series proves they provide a boost in stats, which in the past we didnt knew the gap it provides and later the movie tells us how much is it providing, thats a clear cut multiplier
 
I have no time to sit and argue back and forth with someone as unreasonable as Clover over this, i have others things to do this day
 
You arent obligated? Then why should i be? Just cuz you got a role?
You don't have to agree with me
Mhm yeah sure....the statement is made during the scene and lore says cells boost your power too, under what assumption should a stated multiplier it gives not mean for physicals given all mentioned? You saying its irrelevant has no meaning
If the subject matter of the multiplication isn't something direct, like a character's power, then I think it's important to call it into question. Strengthening cellular compounds to 10x those of a normal human is not the same as boosting one's power (much less speed) by 10x. So yes, I think it's irrelevant in this case

It's like if someone was stated to have had their combat skill boosted by ten times. That would mean nothing to me, because "combat skill" doesn't directly translate to AP, speed, of the like.
And the characters in the roster are what? Ghosts? Especially Heihachi and Lars which are just regular humans, when Jin and Kazuya loses their power he claims both are just mere humans after, the x10 is literally including these in this, again you beat around the bush
This is still only referring to cellular compounds, as opposed to directly being 10x stronger. And Heihachi and Lars, despite being human, have clearly superhuman feats as opposed to the actual normal humans in the Tekken verse (like random bystanders)
 
Clover and BlackDarkness, stop bickering please, and just stick to the facts of this issue instead. Thank you. 🙏
I do appreciate your efforts here, I just am not a fan of constantly being viewed as some biased, unreasonable downplayer just because I'm proposing a change that I believe to be accurate

Regardless, my above response will likely be my last one to BlackDarkness, as this is going in circles and I don't want to keep this going ad infinitum
 
And Saman's response is pretty clearly against wiki standards considering we don't allow multipliers to be reasoned, like with stuff like "I doubt it means something other than this." If it's not a direct statement of boosting power/speed, it just doesn't qualify. And a transformation can provide a gap in power by simply being unquantifiably stronger. It doesn't have to be a multiplier. Everything you're saying points to it being stronger, yes, but not by 10x. Simple as.
I know it's not as direct as we would wish, but at the same time I believe it's worthy to be looked up and considered as a possible alternative. The delivery is weird and probably done to sound fancy, and I'd agree if the context was a biological exposition or another scene, but I'd say the fact the statement occurs while Kazuya has just unleashed the Gene to gain the upper hand is an indicator of a power boost.

Anyway, I've found the movie in the original japanese dub, yet I couldn't find a transcription of the dialogues nor subtitles in the same language. The infamous scene occurs at about 1.09.15. Do we have anyone on the forum who understands spoken jp? We might find something useful, as adaptations often lead astray from the original context.
 
Should we consider Kazuya 10x stronger than Heihachi and Lars after his power-up then, or consider him 10x stronger than his previous state?
 
The idea here would be that any Devil Gene user becomes 10X stronger than their human form while in that state. In that regard, I believe we'd fall in a case of "reverse multiplier", in which the base form has to be 10X that the transformed one, and since the base for Devils is now 643 petatons, the base forms would be 64.3 petatons (still high 6-A).

Such characters' best feats are only 7-A, so I disagree with this considering how the multiplier isn't even directly an AP multiplier. And again, it's even worse when you realize it's being applied to speed too
 
These 7-A characters arent even in actuality 7-A, they are way higher in reality, dont talk on scaling and feats when you dont even know the verse where it stands at
 
And your combat skill comparison isnt even remotely a good equivalence, skills of that sort are learned and trained to get them there and they dont require you to be even physically fit

With self defense you can even take someone bigger and physically better then you who doesnt know to fight in like you, Batman also being an example of it in fiction with his rogue gallery, meanwhile genetics are inherited and a kid of two individuals good in something will have the kid know these as well if not better

Lars and Heihachi having superhuman feats has no relevance, many humans in fiction are superhuman or do stuff normally not possible, at the end if the day they are still human, even the soldier troops of the verse who are just humans with military training and all have high level feats
 
its currently accepted as 7-A no?
Doesnt mean its accurate, especially to have them scaling from the lowest end of the hierarchy for rating
They are currently 7-A
And i dont care of the stats as of currently, the Mishimas are in no way tier 7s at max in their base, so your claim their best stuff is that high only is flat out wrong

Once again dont even try to argue the scaling and feats of a verse you clearly know nothing about, let slone against a supporter, especially when you tried downgrading devil kazuya without even knowing where he gets high 6-A from
 
I mean as Patou said we have been using alt endings or Arcade Endings for scaling in number of fighting games, though as it allows Devil Jin to have the High 6-A scale due to his feats in Tekken 8.

Plus if we ignore the Arcade ending scaling for Tekken 8, then wouldn't that be odd given it doesn't go stark contrast with the main story? Since in Tekken 8 we didn't see lesser characters beat Devil Jin or characters at his level. Also we have been using Arcade endings for SF or even MK endings.

On the scaling thing I just want to know this, since correct me if wrong:

Is that we know Devil Kazuya beaten the crap out of Devil Jin, thus getting that scaling.

As well as the point where Kazuya absorbed Azazel and became True Devil Kazuya and fought everyone and defeated them. As he gained a massive power boost due to his Devil Gene absorbing Azazel which made him stronger and evolve into his True Devil Kazuya form. We even saw him able to use Azazel's abilities.

Then Angel Jin came (Having all the powers of Jun Kazama after mixing it the Kazama powers with his Devil Gene) and pretty much went an equal battle against True Devil Kazuya and he defeated him in the end and this caused the Devil Gene to burn out from their powers.

With the Devil Gene enhancing it has been stated on how it grants a 10x boost doesn't it? And also soon how Devil Gene boosts people's (Like Jin and Kazuya) power and speed to overpower people?

Again correct me if wrong.
 
BlackDarkness, you still need to calm down and stop shooting yourself in the feet by getting so agitated. 🙏

What do you think that we should do here, Saman?
 
BlackDarkness, you still need to calm down and stop shooting yourself in the feet by getting so agitated. 🙏
As i said earlier, i have better things to do then argue back and forth with an unreasonable person whom isnt listening for hours, such tasks/work or other hobbies outside of this i wanna or have to do, if he ceases with these, then im not spending all day here
 
I believe my proposal to be most accurate, so I don't plan to cease this thread unless it gets rejected by the staff.

Again correct me if wrong.
We covered the Devil Kazuya scaling, that can simply be adjusted.

And again, the Devil Gene is strengthening cellular compounds to 10x those of a normal human. That says nothing about boosting the user's power of speed by 10x. They are undoubtedly stronger and faster than before, yes. But they cannot be proven to be 10x stronger and 10x faster, because the statement used to claim as such doesn't actually say that
 
Would it be better to use "at least" or "at most" for statistics instead then, Saman?
 
Reviewing the thread and the subsequent replies,

Clovers initial claim:
The scan merely states that his cellular compounds are 10x stronger than those of a normal human. That doesn't say anything about him being 10x stronger than his previous form.

The initial response from the opposition:
You claim nothing implies the multiplier increase despite the fact the very scene has Kazuya stomp on Jin, in both AP and speed and only when Jin got his own form akin to Kazuya was able to match him stat wise

In my view, the response fails to address the point of Clover’s argument. I don’t think neither the OP nor the opposition is denying a strength gap after the amp, it’s just that the proof is not directed towards the claim. Scan says 10x blah blah greater than a human, so it should scale as such — i.e., 10x higher than human scaling. Opposition calls that this is an “over-fixation” but this is literally what the scan says.

As an addendum, The subsequent context that the opposition provides is just claims of an extremely large gap in strength, fueled by claims such as:
if the gap wasnt as big as you claim of a x10, he would have went regular devil form against him then too
And
increase in power big enough to one shot/overpower foes evenly to the base form/forms above base form, meanwhile regular devil forms nearly kill or severely injure the latter

Let me ask then, why go for a 10x gap? Why not 50x or 60x? Hell why not 100x? You could just apply that same logic — “he’s way stronger and one shot the other dude, so we can reasonably assume it’s X times higher”

We have standards around this stuff. A character not using a form isn’t indicative of a 10x strength gap, and a one-shot isn’t indicative of a 10x strength gap either. In fact, we explicitly refrain from giving one-shot AP a numeric strength gap:
….it does not apply to in-universe feats of one-shotting other characters, as using it as such a multiplier for powerscaling purposes is considered Calc Stacking.

On this basis, I agree with the OP.

Out of respect for myself and for Planck (cool guy), I suppose I’ll also address these claims of staff bias.

all of you just agree with a staff and dont give a shit about the users in the slightest, especially all of you piling on me with nobody else to get help from, unfairness like alway
Someone disagreeing with you =/= Favoring the other person. What incentive or motivation would a staff member have to agree with clover besides a genuine belief that he’s right. Just cus we’re staff and clover is too??? Lmfao. Idk if you think the staff are some Illuminati-esque group of evil-doer’s, but it’s not that deep. Nobody gives a shit about a colored tag lol. Staff contend with other staff members’s threads all the time.

If you say its above human scaling, that includes characters like Heihachi and Lars whom are equal to the base form of those with the power
Let me ask then, why go for a 10x gap? Why not 50x or 60x? Hell why not 100x?
You asking as if you wouldnt be able to figure out yourself, how about by the fact we are told only of a x10 in regards to the power in question that it provides to the characters with it, x50, x60 or x100 from their weakest point isnt stated or suggested so x10 was fair game given it is an existent claim
You could just apply that same logic — “he’s way stronger and one shot the other dude, so we can reasonably assume it’s X times higher”
The gaps in power i talked of earlier is to show that x10 from the claim is legitimate, not that the one shot is auto x10
Out of respect for myself and for Planck (cool guy), I suppose I’ll also address these claims of staff bias.


Someone disagreeing with you =/= Favoring the other person. What incentive or motivation would a staff member have to agree with clover besides a genuine belief that he’s right.
And imma ask you this, what you even remotely see from him any rightness? Your pal couldnt even search up better from where high 6-A came from and adds it up in downgrade unless someone had to spell out the origins which wasnt even hard to find, would have resulted in wrong and injustified approvement

Yet its suppose to be believed the multiplier he argues isnt one for physicals, when looking around even on internet the words he makes a big fuss over all say that still suggests or implies a physical increase, since when genetic enhancement especially in a scene of physical superiority along other times in the past telling how genetic mixing is resulting in physical boosts isnt applying in here, especially telling there how much it provides
Just cus we’re staff and clover is too??? Lmfao. Idk if you think the staff are some Illuminati-esque group of evil-doer’s, but it’s not that deep. Nobody gives a shit about a colored tag lol. Staff contend with other staff members’s threads all the time.
Staff vs staff i couldnt care less, its whatever for the most part, staff vs user is another story, most of you will side one of colleagues without even batting an eye on a user say, especially when its many vs one basically, its so easy to gang up on a single individual for the most part and go on a agree train carrying cart

If it was user vs user whoever they side with is more 50/50 overall, when Matthew was staff and had a verse under his wing any attempts at upgrades or the like where shut down and without minding users say, till told to be questioning him
 
And imma ask you this, what you even remotely see from him any rightness? Your pal couldnt even search up better from where high 6-A came from and adds it up in downgrade unless someone had to spell out the origins which wasnt even hard to find, would have resulted in wrong and injustified approvement
The profiles genuinely had bad justifications. Devil Kazuya scaling to Devil Jin was nowhere to be seen until Saman clarified. Sorry to say, but that isn't my fault
 
Mhm....and guess thanks to who the verse got in this poor ass state and whom supported that at that time too, you were part of the fault as well
 
@BlackDarkness679 Clearly you didn't pay attention to the edit and the CRT when Clover had no involvement in either of them. You want to shift the blame on how the state of Tekken's pages are? Maybe clear up your points or you know, give better arguments than shifting the blame and pulling the victim card like you always do in these threads.

If you learned to read and not assume like you always do in general all the time, nowhere i suggested direct editing on his part, im talking of the individual whom changed their ratings way back and your pal you approved of that user trash changes currently on statistics

Im well aware of CRT and edits of them, you act like i dont look up on them and try frame me like im dumb, i know far better you and your petty accusations
 
Yeah part of the fault letting the contents of the previous CRT before the one you try to link it as evidence fly, which followed afterwards further with the last one from the very same person whom edited and changed all that, stop defending him like he had no involvement any of them

Also if all you have is come here to stir things up like you always do with your all so wrong assumptions, im not interested, mind your business if you got nothing to do then frame others
