How is it an outlier? The Wither is from Minecraft. The players are wearing Iron Armor with mild enchantments and taking hits from the Wither: that's a thing they can always reliably do with mid-game equipment. The player can't survive if they stay to fight the thing, but they can clearly take a few hits - hits which are blasting through meters of solid rock.GyroNutz said:Midgame Steve doesn't scale to the Wither at all, him taking hits from the Wither is an outlier. Your other points are fair though
Yet, Iron Armored players can be clearly seen taking shots from the Wither and surviving. Remember: this isn't a plotted TV show, where plot armor and writer inconsistency comes into play: Minecraft is a video game with defined rules and limits that don't change without mods. Those players weren't modding or using cheats either: they were wearing Iron Armor with low-level enchantments, and they are taking shots from the Wither. Thus, they scale to the Wither.GyroNutz said:Because iron armoured players can have trouble taking out Endermen, which are rated 8-C. Endermen are fodder compared to late-game bosses, which are rated 7-C.
I hardly need to argue that point: they factually DO - nothing in Minecraft is comparable to the disparity of Mario getting two-shot by Goombas and Koopas, so I don't know where that idea even came from. And in all seriousness, If all we do here is compare the already listed tiers while ignoring the source material, I don't see why vs threads like this one exist in the first place.GyroNutz said:Again, no. There's a much simpler explanation for this: it's just Game Mechanics. The same reason why Mario getting two-shot by Goombas/Koopas etc doesn't make him 9-B.
If you want to argue that iron armoured players scale to the Wither Boss, then make a CRT for it.
Btw, plot armour and writer inconsistency do come into play in video games, although not for Minecraft admittedly.
First off, I DID make a CRT. Second, Base Steve would be one-shot by the Wither. Third, why is the Wither rated so much higher than the Player when it's built into the game that the player can kill it? That makes absolutely no sense on any level.GyroNutz said:You... really do need to argue that point. Mid-game Steve taking hits from the Wither is textbook game mechanics. Hell, "factually", Base Steve also takes hits from the Wither, so should his durability be listed as 7-C too?
Again, make a CRT if you think that iron armoured players scale to the Wither instead of claiming that all we do is ignore the source material.
It's under The Player, cince this is actually about The Player.GyroNutz said:Firstly, I don't see the CRT under the discussions for Minecraft or for the Wither. Maybe you did and just didn't update the tags?
I acknowledged that the Player can only reliably fight and kill the Wither when they have late-game gear. The issue is the fact that such an unequipped player still survives single attacks. With that being fact, this wiki is scaling the Wither higher by an entire tier. That's not a small increase: it's utterly massive, so much so that the Wither should be able to casually one-shot the player on a near-miss. It can't. And there's no plot-armor in Minecraft, so it can't be explained away that way. It's not simple game mechanic either: when exactly do we see the Wither launch a single attack that can level an entire town, only for the player to tank it anyway, like they do in Dragonball? Never.GyroNutz said:Secondly, in-game Base Steve is not one-shot by the Wither. Even in hard difficulty, its most powerful attack does 15hp damage. But again, we don't scale base Steve to the Wither.
Thirdly, the Player can reliably fight and kill the Wither only when they have late-game gear (e.g. enchanted diamond). That's why late-game Steve scales to the Wither.
Since/if you made the CRT, mind keeping discussions about Steve scaling to the Wither there and not in my vsthread?
Are you kidding? "I'll try to respond tomorrow (...)" 5 days later and you need to be called?GyroNutz said:What's your point exactly?
