Shouldn't bill have concept Manipulation?
Bro ate the concept of life basicallyNo why
That thread pretty much used the same reasoning as this one and got rejectedSkill issue thenThat's a reference, it doesn't really affects the reasoning.

Ford knows enough to understand these stuff.
MY EYES
He does. But these statements are common in fiction. And Bill's feats to corroborate to a 2-A rating just...aren't there. Which makes this a hard ball to pass.Ford does use "the entire Nightmare Realm" to describe it, so there's a bit more credence to it, especially since lad is aware just how big the thing is
I don't have anything to say about points 1 and 5 that Eficiente already hasn't so I won't be redundant. But two and three.To @TheShape03
Being a threat to the multiverse = 2-A attack potency for a character without feats of that scale is an excess leap in logic.2) It is a threat to the multiverse.
About this.......Time Baby never says all of existence. He says destroy the fabric of existence and it shows the current world going pop. Makes no mention of other dimensions or timelines. Bill Cipher's own claim is a desire to liberate this dimension, likely planning to hop to another afterwards and repeat the process. In a vacuum of showings that display multiversal scale of destruction, Occam's Razor would say that Bill is a threat to the multiverse because he'll live forever and repeat this process for eternity. Not that he will end everything with a flick of his fingers as soon as he steps out of the current world.3) It was going to destroy all of existence (Time Baby only says that the rip originated in that dimension, not that it's only going to affect that dimension).
This as Eficiente's reply would back up means range, not AP. Even if it was AP the extent shown was not enough to stretch a 2-A for Bill. You see, the problem with raising Bill's tier is that most of his supporting lore is vague, when it isn't vague it's insufficient and when you look at Bill's showings they make Occam's razor cut towards the lower end interpretation every time.4) It has been shown that Weirdmaggedon was affecting other dimensions.
Well, if flowery language was used then using "the entire" or not using it doesn't matter, as it can be added to add weight on the writing rather than to write down more precisely what's happening. "He was the best the entire Earth had ever known" (Overselling), "The entire world would know his fury" (exaggerating).Ford does use "the entire Nightmare Realm" to describe it, so there's a bit more credence to it, especially since lad is aware just how big the thing is
Remember when I said?;Ford knows enough to understand these stuff. He doesnt have to perceive it, just feel the shake. Plus if it can shake the entire realm Ford feeling it is very much possible
You keep having this "I'm gonna use this to support believing this" moments but you fail to see where actual connections are and what is only vaguely related.
I wasn't joking with "Please show that to anyone near you and ask them what I meant". There is no shame in it, nor I am trying to insult you, anyone can do Vs Debates but it would be better if we were all in roughly the same page. And what I mean by that is that I clearly didn't mean to say that I have a scan for that because my issue is with the logic of taking that text literally, it can't possibly be understood from what I wrote that I have a scan for that, and that generates me worries.I want to see the scan for this though, I am very curious
It only shows an explosion encompassing everything, not a specific universe being destroyed hardly see it as enough evidence to it only being specific to universalAbout this.......Time Baby never says all of existence. He says destroy the fabric of existence and it shows the current world going pop.
Tbf he says if the rip in “this dimension”continues it will destroy existence implying he knows of other dimensions other wise he would have just said “the universe”Makes no mention of other dimensions or timelines.
Well, I'll be damned. Always interpreted it as representation of a galaxy and surrounding stars or the universe. I'm not the author and guess this is in the eye of the beholder so I'll take the L I guess. But giving Bill 2-A has a problem of assuming the most generous interpretation of everything that surrounds his characterization. The evidence of his powers often hinted in the opposite direction. Seems to me that Universal is the most consistent, safe interpretation.It only shows an explosion encompassing everything, not a specific universe being destroyed hardly see it as enough evidence to it only being specific to universal
Tbf he says if the rip in “this dimension”continues it will destroy existence implying he knows of other dimensions other wise he would have just said “the universe”
I think this statement relies on which supporting evidence is stronger, it’s not specifically universal nor multiversal
I’m waiting for other responses from phoenks and strym before fully making a answer since imo bill should have a likely rating (not outright) for scaling to the rift we just need to find out where the rift scalesWell, I'll be damned.

Just to remind you, this entire CRT is based off a death battle profile, which explains most of it.Seems to me that Universal is the most consistent, safe interpretion
He's aware of how big it is but he has literally zero way of knowing if the very literal entirety of the nightmare realm shook in that moment or not.Ford does use "the entire Nightmare Realm" to describe it, so there's a bit more credence to it, especially since lad is aware just how big the thing is
What? The logic here doesn't really make any sense. Dimension in Gravity Falls is nearly always a substitute for the word universe.Tbf he says if the rip in “this dimension”continues it will destroy existence implying he knows of other dimensions other wise he would have just said “the universe”
I don’t think your understanding my point, my point was that because time baby calls it a “dimension” he would likely know about other dimensions as well considering he would have just called it “the dimension” or “the universe” if he didn’t. The statement is so vague about whether it was referring to the dimension or the multiverse which is why we need the supporting evidence, I feel like we should wait for phoenks and stryum before moving on with a/pWhat?

I’m not a fan of arguing that the usage of the word “this” implies plurality by default compared to “the”. I tried to find it this was an actual literary rule of sort but turned up with nothing.I don’t think your understanding my point, my point was that because time baby calls it a “dimension” he would likely know about other dimensions as well considering he would have just called it “the dimension” or “the universe” if he didn’t.

I… don’t think anybody from this thread has a direct connection to the DB team lol. Some of the arguments from this are just based on what the recent episode said but the thread has no connection to the Death Battle team.Btw, since this is so linked to Death Battle. I don't keep up with it as much as others do, I'm not in its official discord and I have never talked with anyone in its research team. However, I know that people have done the latter. I'm very critical of DB if one were to ask me, but I also still love it for being what got me into Vs Debates and want it to improve. I often times have a lot of things to disagree with when the G1 blogs come out, and I do mean a lot, from things they may not concur with me to things they would agree that they got wrong, and I would love to have the chance to debate that with them. I don't have the time to leave them a critique, especially since idk if they would listen, and I don't have the time (or interest) to try to become more of DB fan to try to reach them, but I would be very much interested to give my opinion if they reach to me. Just as long as they don't do so for discord, since I don't use it, they can send me a private conversation here and we can talk there or arrange something else. If anyone has the ability to send them this, please do so, I'm confident in my ability to be of help.
It’s mostly in the Death Battle discussion thread where that happens, some of the team members like Speedy, Ultra, and DJ will occasionally pop in, usually around the time an episode releases.That's ok. I randomly hear that people has talked to them, but idk which users those are.
I disagree with the logic here for the Shacktron.Just to remind you, this entire CRT is based off a death battle profile, which explains most of it.
In any case, Efficiente's explanation makes sense. 'The portal shook the entire nighhtmare realm' shouldn't be taken literally unless you're willing to give Ford Multiversal+ Range on his Extrasensory Perception...a power he rather blatantly doesn't have.
And even if it did shake the entire thing, Bill wouldn't scale to it in any way, shape or form. The rift and the portal have zero reason to have the same power output.
And the Shacktron isn't ***** 2-A, it's engine is built from some of the portal's parts--that in no way makes it even remotely good enough to be as powerful.
I'll reply to you later, I think you're purposely leaving out stuff just to fit your narrative tbf, but I can't exactly give an answer rn.Besides, the rift was far smaller at the time. When it was bigger & Bill was growing in power, every so often it was growing bigger, meaning that it's at its weakest there when at the size of a hamster.
We...agree! I am arguing that the Shacktron isn't 2-A, not that it is.I disagree with the logic here for the Shacktron.
The materials needed to make something don't translate to how powerful the end result is when you are working with Extraordinary Geniuses.
People like Iron Man, Doctor Doom, and many other supernatural geniuses in fiction can make cosmic tiered weaponry and machinery with seemingly basic items at times. So this isn't a good argument in my opinion.
You explained the answer to the first sentence with the second: Ford would feel it since he's at the edge. Shockwaves don't need to be 2-A to...exist in a 2-A range, that's...not true? Not every shockwave made in marvel has multiversal range? At least not without a justification. Ford would also need 2-A extrasensory perception to tell that it affected the entire multiverse/To shake the realm at all would be 2-A, as well. Since how could shockwaves reach anywhere in a 2-A realm without 2-A range?
Ford doesn't need to have 2-A extrasensory perception to feel this at the edge.
Where on earth does this come from? The Interdimensional Portal isn't powered by Bill at all. He has zero reason to scale to this.Bill's power is the cause of said portal so he should scale.
Edit: How am I supposed to make a non-personal judgement? It's not like me and efi can ordain opinions from gods. For the most part, these feats aren't vague as much as they are 'ever so slightly up to interpretation which means abandoning all other logic to make 2-A true'.All in all, the arguments you and Efi are making seem to be personal judgments on feats that are vague enough to be taken in multiple different ways.
And I am explaining why your reasoning for saying it isn't is weak.We...agree! I am arguing that the Shacktron isn't 2-A, not that it is.
There's no reason to assume that it didn't affect the entire multiverse just because he couldn't sense the entire multiverse in my eyes.You explained the answer to the first sentence with the second: Ford would feel it since he's at the edge.

It's a result of Bill's presence and it goes away when Bill is gone.Where on earth does this come from? The Interdimensional Portal isn't powered by Bill at all. He has zero reason to scale to this.
I don't like the way you phrased this. Comes off arrogant. Saying everyone who agrees with 2-A is abandoning logic is wild lol.How am I supposed to make a non-personal judgement? It's not like me and efi can ordain opinions from gods. For the most part, these feats aren't vague as much as they are 'ever so slightly up to interpretation which means abandoning all other logic to make 2-A true'.
1. Ford is a reputable source and there's no reason to think he's a liar here or just exaggerating. In like every case on the wiki we take people's word for things like this.A 2-A rating for Bill requires unlikely assumption stacked upon unlikely assumption to work.
- You have to assume that Ford somehow knew that the entire Nightmare Realm shook
- assume that Ford had the extrasensory perception to make this statement true
- assume that the rift that Bill subsists also shook the Nightmare Realm without a single source to support that
- assume that Time Baby was referring to the entire multiverse
- assume that the explosion Time Baby talked about wasn't referring to the Nightmare Realm's lawless nature eventually destroying the place
- assume Weirdmageddon affected the entire multiverse
- (optional) assume the Shacktron scales to 2-A for some reason??
- (optional) assume that Bill being a threat to the multiverse in any way makes him multiversal
You should wait for the responses.I’m fine with Tier 3 via the galaxy stuff, though I agree with Ayewale’s and Eficiente’s takes on 2-A.
I disagree with Infinite Perception speed too, more accurate to list as Cosmic Awareness.
Yeah, I agree I’m mostly saying that time baby would say “this dimension” if he wasn’t aware of others which is why I’m saying the “existence” statement is too vague by itself and you could argue it for universal or 2-A depending on supporting evidenceAlso Time Baby using “the“ over “this” in his sentence sounds awkward and doesn’t make too much grammatical sense. He’s using this to refer specifically to Dimension 46 because ‘the’ would just frankly make less sense.
I don’t think firestorm have an opinion,, they just asked if these were new argumentsI was gonna add them but I realized they wrote that before Phoenks responded. I would like to ask for an additional confirmation about their current opinion
