I thought vertigo would have a straight up 1-C rating, not possibly. Its just the possible 1-A getting removed and adding in 1-C

As with all of the ratings, it's something that can be addressed in later CRTs.

You just made a small mistake here. You put the Upside-Down Man to 2-C, possibly 2-A while Hecate is only 2-C. Both are equal. I can fix this.

Well maybe we should rethink at what we may think we agree on but is not.
Apparently this thread is making ourselves a laughing stock even among Reddit.
One more thing: Is true form The Writer revised as "at least (one dimension / sub tier higher than the other fictional supreme character), likely Tier 0, possibly higher"?
And how is the avatar Grant Morrison with the machine affected?

This sentence is a bit hard to follow, but the matter is far from settled. The wiki changes all the time, but the scope of this project is too vast to handle here with the level of specificity some are engaging in.
Reddit has always mocked VSBW. But really not persuaded that /r/DeathBattleMatchups is going to be a place to find well-reasoned takes on anything.

Wait a second
Doesn't DC in it entirety peak at High 1-C? Or did I misunderstand something

It does. I have no idea what he's referring to about an "accepted 1-B Animal Man cosmology" but such a topic isn't actually included in these revisions.

His talking about the endless dream sequences from Animal Man. That’s apparently 1-B+ at the least.
- 3,035

I don’t not agree with the 1-B Animal Man addition into Grants interpretation of the Cosmology.
How would it work with Synder mesh of the Cosmology not to mention there’s are quite a leap of wording with Grants notion during the earlier time he had on Animal Man.
There was already a CRT based on this with Xearsey bringing the topic which had been shut down. So feel free to make another based on what you can gather but this thread is reaching it’s conclusion and I feel for now we should primarily focus on individual ratings rather than entire addition of Cosmology mesh.

If this thread is about revising DC cosmology, esp. the high tier cosmologies and the different takes among different DC writers, why not taking one step more solid?
The "accepted 1-B Animal Man cosmology" to be refuted? Well it will be reestablished in the coming CRT in any proper way necessary should this thread want to rush in throwing it away and proceed with the downplay.

Buddy your grammar is really hard to follow.

I think he means something on the lines of “why rush it.” He thinks putting Animal Man Cosmology should go alongside what we have for Synder/Grant and doesn’t need a follow up CRT to validate it. In other words, we are “downplaying” because we didn’t include it and are trying to proceed thus rushing it and missing a “fundamental” part of Grant’s Cosmology.

If the current take of this thread is to "downgrade first upgrade later" then it can be more acceptable. Although this will just be another hassle of this ultimately changes nothing.
By the way, given the current take is not just a simple downgrade but also splitting the profiles according to author lines (at least what I perceive) because apparently I have read from here that different authors have different character portrayals, I do want to ask:
Would this also mean that we do also need to split the character profiles by the author lines as well?
Now, this will be a far bigger work to do.
So big this will contribute to different characters under different phases written under different author lines needing their own feat calc blog bases and their own scaling chains established.
First, sorry for any inconvenience caused (my bad or not).
No offence but this is what VBW as an international forum looks like. You literally have people from all over the world - including people (with insomnia) typing at Asia Pacific right now.
In fact, I am going to return to sleep right now after replying to you while I myself am suffering from some insomnia.

It more so has to due with finishing the project and implementing individual tiers later. We have come to a consensus that the thread is coming to a conclusion and any follow-up would need a separate CRT to induce new tiers or revise old ones.
I'm sorry? Are you saying the splitting of profiles should include statements that go with each Author's interpretation of the Cosmology?
Indeed but it was hard to follow what you were saying. However, Deagon already revise the tiers according to the major consensus agreeing on the tiers Elizio presented.
Anything else might need a separate thread.
- 7,889
- 14,936
That's not the approach. Some of the tiers are likely too high, some are likely too low. It's that we cannot practically reach a consensus on all of them here. The scope of the project is too broad. I already said this.
No. We are only splitting the cosmology which most characters do not scale to. And even the cosmologies are only roughly based on authorship.
- 13,816
- 14,899
Excuse me?
If authorship (and any coherence and contradictions among stories of such) is what we base on to decide on splitting and retiering the characters, then it naturally flows any character portrayed under different authorships should be under separate profiles.
This indeed will be a far bigger profile change than just "splitting the cosmology which most characters do not scale to".
- 7,889
- 14,936
But we aren't deciding that? That's not even on the table.

I haven't really seen this statement taken into consideration here
Is it not cited because it is taken to be separate from Morrisons cosmology even though it is within the New 52 continuity?

Yeah, a) it's not in any of the cosmologies and b) it's not specified what type of dimensions they are. I'm aware of the author statement, but that too was fairly vague and asked in a leading sort of manner, and isn't conclusive enough to override the other problems with that. There are also more definitive and direct statements that suggest there arent limitless spatial dimensions so they take priority.

We could break down the scan with Rama and Deadman. There are immeasurable amounts of dimensions as the one they stand in is two steps removed from the other.
That does not suggest anything more than just an uncountable amount of dimension. Where they have time in a different meaning. With all that in mind, it's not Tier 1.
- 2,151

I cant seem to find anything that goes against limitless higher dimensions in the cosmology though?
- 7,889
- 14,936
Okay. If you interpret the scans differently that's fine, but I'm not going to hash it out here now that everything has been decided.
- 13,816
- 14,899
At least, when drafting the cosmology explanation page, write the scan page source and say that it is proposed by which members that the dimensions here means "space time continua" and therefore infinite dimensions in this scan means 2-A to those proposers.
Like how other cosmologies pages are done. Will be useful. Thanks.

I think we have the gist for this thread. I think we should create another thread for individual tiering or an additional Cosmology except for the one we already mentioned. This thread is 8 pages long and we pretty much finished it at this point.
- 7,889
- 14,936
The plan is to close it and start a new thread that focuses on implementing the accepted changes since it'll be a large effort
