Couple of the reasons provided for why they scale to each other's durability even contain anti feats like Squidward
getting severely hurt by a normal table, or
a door (which wouldn't be the case if he had tier 8 durability).
If buildings, signs and other objects don't get disintigrated by a Small Building explosion and the Krusty Krab no sells a City Block throw from Neptune, that would mean the durability of their belongings wouldn't be to far from the characters' own durability in their higher end feats(it wouldn't be that much of an anti-feat). Even a
little hammer can hurt Sandy(the character most of you deem as a powerhouse above most of the other characters)
I don't mind if Sandy gets a high tier, because no one scales to her and she's consistently portrayed as superhuman much more powerful compared to everyone else.
In Karate Choppers SB
won 2 duels
against Sandy(he broke a metal door and bended a metal floor in these fights ) and they
fought again evenly by the end of the same episode(they even shake that island on the surface, should be an impressive feat). He also accidently
beat Sandy's Karate master who is defently comperable to her as they were sparring in the beginning of The Way of The Sponge. Patrick hurt Sandy twice in Band Geeks. Sure she's stronger than some of characters but its not like she is 100 times strength difference(also not everybody has her level of skill). Rating their Duarability that much higher compared to their AP means they'll get their hands pulverized when they try to hit themslves which is complete BOGUS. Patrick
ripped his own his own hand. SB has
done this many times.
Patrick and SB cut themselves to pieces twice.
Patrick,
Squidward and
Spongebob ripped
their skin
And Neptune, as I don't remember any reason why anyone would scale to him.
It because bikkini bottom mites taking blasts from Neptune and his family(it was eleborated in the start of the thread)
Any proof it isn't just a reputation or the like?
He already has that ability on his page. I think he uses
Hallucination Causation on Squidward in the end of Ghost Host.
There's countless of instances where SpongeBob has harmed/traded blows with other characters comparable to him though.
Here,
here,
here,
here,
here,
here,
here...
The list goes on.
Btw, SpongeBob "not being a pure fighter" is moot when one of his favorite hobbies is karate.
Just adding more example of hard SB balls are(I mean him kicking ass of course)
SB
grapples an orca twice his size
He
breaks glass with his bare hand
Strangles Mr.Krabs
Rips part of the ground
Creates an explosion that sends Patrick flying and destroys a good part of the Krusty Krab out of sheer anger
Kills mussels
He broke a certified indestructable shell by accident
Unintentionally
squished the hand of another cook
Fought Patrick
pretty evenly over a toy(keep in mind he
compares Patrick's strength to that of a gorilla)
Tackles Larry the Lobster(leaving him impressed)
Makes the Flying Dutchman to struggle
SB
breaks a thick brick wall to pieces. Patrick
does that and more. He stops an out of control spinning Patrick
with 1 finger. Patrick
perfectly slices cinderblocks in 1 karate chop. He does that again with a
sharpened, tempered steel sword, a rough
iron steamboat, boatcars, buildings and
other metal stuff
Spongebob shreds Patrick to pieces(so does Patrick to him)
