Unpopular Opinions and (Friendly) Rant thread

For yall do you care your favorite verses is "accurate" in scaling or as strong as possible wanked etc. I notice some people act like other people dislike/hate a verse if they try to downgrade verse/charcter. To me I rather the verses I like be more "accurate" In our indexing if we can. Don't see why if you like a verse you'd want it wanked, but that seems to be the case for alot of people.
Accurate.

Edit: I'm definitely a fan of overpowered verses, but even I manage to get sort of (quite much) upset when some just try and go as high as the moon with their logic.

I only really get put off by debunks when it's just someone trying to get rid of the 'obviously it should be there and taking it off makes no sense as it's something prevalent to the story itself' thing they wanna get rid of.

(People not bothering to read or take a literary understanding to said verses is another thing entirely).

My views on how this or that verse is scaled vastly differs with the majority of VSBW (I just don't show it here), so no matter how I will try to explain myself, my views will be considered as "wankery" or "downgradery". But since I don't say my hot takes since I'm a powerscaling fraud, you can say I don't really care - just wish to see certain verses at a higher tier (cough cough Umineko cough cough)

Accurate. Being more powerful just changes who you can involve in which versus threads.

& if you care about who they can solo in theoretical discussions you're not having, or how impressed by their power visitors to the profile may be, firstly, you're banking on outsiders not just being dismissive or disagreeable about it & second, if you never encounter those outsiders, what does it matter what they think?

If you love your 'verse, document as much as possible, & ensure you account for what's most reasonable while helping bring to light what your profile has. Show what makes it what it is, & perhaps you'll help others find an enthusiasm for it. But ultimately, what they think is not your primary goal, it's providing information.

What good is a reference without accuracy? If we strive to make profiles have higher power over accuracy, what good are we as a reference? I doubt we can keep credibility like that. So if not for information & passion, then for pride.

Document even weaknesses.

I kind of always cringe when I see "Weaknesses: None notable.". Flaws humanize characters, & in any consistency of tactics, there's bound to be a weakness.
Likewise, document their behaviour, even if it may impede them winning. (In theory, it could also make them more likely to win.)

The characters you index are not you. If you want them to act optimally in matches, bloodlust them, give them prior knowledge & all that stuff.

Accurate duh, I've nerfed my own verses for accuracy's sake. If I know the rating is wrong then I can't sit around without fixing it.

I openly downgraded WWE from 8-C back down to 9-B/9-A

I'm confident in saying that I care for the verses' accuracy
 
Nobody would claim they prefer power, because that drops the mask.

The foul truth of it all is that most people probably don't recognize their bias on a moment-to-moment basis, and most people subconsciously do lean in favor of power on their favorite verses. Sometimes this manifests subtly, sometimes by a rapid group of upgrades. Even the most egregious ratings are made by people who in all likelihood probably firmly believe those ratings to be accurate. The importance, then, in gaining accuracy, is to get people on the verse who profoundly disagree with you on many points of the verse, can engage in the discussion evenly, and who also externally report a desire for accuracy.

Honestly, I did, even though only technically

That does contradict with my previous statement about not answering Ebihara's question, but I dunno, man, my wishes are different from what I think about this or that tier (not to mention I want to see Nasuverse on high tiers in one of the Wikis I like to visit often)

More than anything, I tend to prefer being in "control" of how the verse's ratings go. Because when it comes to a verse I scale, I tend to think I'm the one that knows the most about how the verse "should" be scaled. Suffice it to say, it really rubs me the wrong way when someone I consider an "outsider," so to speak, tries to revise the verse I'm scaling

Intresting view point. I think power scaling is inherently gate keepy by nature though.

I think any self-respecting person would, at least consciously, prefer accuracy, regardless of whether their behavior reflects that ideal, but to be entirely honest, as someone who is both an author and an audience member, the main utility of VSBW profiles to me is how they serve as repositories for directly-pertinent information about characters' capabilities, especially when said information is dispersed across myriad sources.

My works are not particularly focused on combat at all, let alone powerscaling, but I do take inspiration from certain profiles (such as D or Aslan) on how to write and depict certain abilities in prose and within the context of a scene. In my endeavors in literary analysis, I've found that VSBW's more "objective" framing of certain stories which are esoteric or nebulous in their presentation (Twin Peaks) allows me to better understand the work in more literal terms, before crafting my own interpretation.

So, for me, accuracy is paramount, not necessarily in regards to how they are ranked by the site standards, which I believe are too subjective and arbitrary to be of value outside of this niche hobby, but in how they serve as compilations of character-specific information (scans, translations, sources, etc.)
 
While most will say accuracy, there are many people who just want their characters to be strong. Not a question of how strong X is, but rather how can X get to this tier or get that ability or how far can I take X. You can see that in how controversial CRTs proposing downgrades can turn out to be. I mean, it has happened more than once that a downgrade has been made a staff discussion because a general discussion was getting too messy, right?

I feel the same sometimes but usually I'm open to takes that are actually reasonable. I don't think my scaling is perfect and any good improvement is great. Key word being 'good' improvement.

I am ok with a little bit of wank,but I can comfortably say I don't want too much.

Like, I currently believe Naruto should have 5-A scaling via multipliers. I do not, however, believe in the High 4-C or Low 2-C meta.

I'm fine with Tier 5 One Piece, and I think we might possibly hit Low 4-C at the verse's peak someday, but we ain't there yet.

Bleach? Easy Tier 2, but not Tier 1 or anything.

Same with DB.

after I got into the hobby there are some verses I really enjoy outside power scaling I think narratively dont match what we have for ratings and have stayed away from certain verses as I dont like how they have been scaled or usually more importantly dont like the supporters that are most active.

Accurate and the strongest in its category, I'll ensure it's debunk-proof, so any attempts to debunk it will be futile. This way, I can spend my time enjoying other things instead of dealing with unnecessary debunking

Man, one day, I will create "Rakih Quest to Downgrade ......" CRT. Since some verses use their scans in misleading and dishonest ways, thus granting abilities that shouldn't even exist. Ignoring blatant anti feats. etc.

I hate those verses and supporters fr.

Yeah, the whole point of this wiki is to properly index (as much as possible, at least, since there will always be a part of interpretation no matter how accurate one may be) hence why I more often than not don't understand what happens with certain profiles.

Heck, I very much like CAHS, and I'm a fervent supporter of it, but some stuff on Yan Sen profile makes no sense whatsoever. Just look at the "infinite speed" feat to get an idea.

I think, just like Bambu said, some people either tunnel vision their own interpretation, to the point they may make a gross link with things that shouldn't even exist or has the ill-intent of not being truthful. You can't imagine the number of cropped scans I came across these last few months.

As for people crying because their verse got downgraded, good cope I guess.

You still managed to predict some stuff tho
 
Dangosoft was really revolutionary for its time. It's sad Sahs Dihk 2 never finished development due to budget restraints, were some of the best graphics during that era.

I could never get past the damn Swoony-Boony world level 5 boss battle. The mf kept bombarding me and I kept getting stuck in the sticky floor.

LMAO you aren't fooling anybody with this. Even the pros struggled to beat the 4th boss, Blorbus with cheats enabled. Most of us noobs got stuck with the Night Club stage boss. Hated that disco ball beam attack so much.

Blorbus was only hard in the first edition, they fixed his patterns in the Anniversary edition so it was actually possible.
