My favorite is: no."Flowery Language", "Game Mechanics", "Outlier", "Out of Context"
The four horseman of dismissing evidence.
Yeah. A few mistakes are allowed, but when you get into the dozens is when there's something wrong.This isn’t really a VBW exclusive pet peeve but a fiction one period.
I absolutely despise when writers have the most inconsistent and circular scaling within their verse. This includes outliers and PIS.
Like why would you have Character A beat Character B when it’s been shown multiple times that A would never beat B in a million years? Or why would you have a character perform a feat that turns it into an outlier?
I honestly am annoyed that "game mechanics" are never taken into consideration just because some are inconsistent"Flowery Language", "Game Mechanics", "Outlier", "Out of Context"

depends on the context really, but most of the time, unless it's incredibly obvious the claim is super false, you should be waiting for a counterargument from the OPthis has most likely already been brought up but I hate FRA trains.
It's sort of acceptable in VS threads, but in CRTs they're just really obnoxious.this has most likely already been brought up but I hate FRA trains.
Exactly. Unless I'm knowledgeable on both sides, I always say "Neutral I'll wait for more input" or "Following, I'll hear from the other side" Something like that.depends on the context really, but most of the time, unless it's incredibly obvious the claim is super false, you should be waiting for a counterargument from the OP
yeah it'd be pretty nice if everyone did this, but in the past I've literally dealt with people who's first message was "disagree fra" and then never spoke again after thatExactly.

The standard that nothing about a game is related to its lore unless it's not part of the gameplay is extremely annoying, and frankly absurd.I honestly am annoyed that "game mechanics" are never taken into consideration just because some are inconsistent
it's like saying that because some non game mechanics arguments have outliers and PIS, we should ban all arguments
this, and the fact that a lot of verses don't bother to add much info about scaling, means verses where scaling could be easily fixed, ends up with having a bunch of "unknown" stuff, or just downplayed stuffThe standard that nothing about a game is related to its lore unless it's not part of the gameplay is extremely annoying, and frankly absurd.
It's to the point that events in The Elder Scrolls are overshadowed by unrelated card art in a spinoff game.

I mean, yeah, it sucks that they get statements that are way above the featsBut I hate it when authors add in the "Not a Single Man-made weapon can harm them". The line they all use to hype their characters strength.
Same thing for higher tier characters that just have NEP 2 and Transduality without scans or elaboration.my minor pet peeve is when profiles don't elaborate on their Power and Abilities section.
Like when it lists someone can use Fire Manipulation, yet it makes no attempt to elaborate on how they manipulate fire.
Or Immortality or something without the typeSame thing for higher tier characters that just have NEP 2 and Transduality without scans or elaboration.
I can see something like this happening:Or Immortality or something without the type
It's called the worf effect and it's one of the worst tropes in fiction alongside time travel and "It was all a dream". (By worst I mean a trope that commonly gets both overused and misused rather than being organically written into the plot without breaking the narrative).Unrelated to VSBW and more media in General.
But I hate it when authors add in the "Not a Single Man-made weapon can harm them". The line they all use to hype their characters strength.
But then have them jobbing to barely 9-A characters.
Like mf what?
I get that most authors don't give two ***** about powerscaling but how does one add a line like that, not knowing what it means.
Like did we not all learn the same shit in school right? The same curriculum as stuff?
We all know about WW1 and 2 and how literal Towns and Cities were destroyed by man-made weapons, right?
We all know about Hiroshima right?
Like, do authors genuinely believe that once we created those bombs, we just lost all knowledge on their creation.
I was literally about to quote your post and past that link. Large kek.Also remember what I said earlier about new users posting a CRT seemly outta of the blue for popular verses? Well...
XL kek it's back up (Nvm XXL kek its gone again).I was literally about to quote your post and past that link. Large kek.
And it's backWoah, I understand if it was closed but deleted? Lmao.
Very few people will understand.
I still don't get this and I've known you for like a year now.
Oh, I understand this pain if it's not a character that Canonically Spams Teleportation.When people in versus threads go:
"Okay, x character just dodges"
