What do you guys think about Comicvine's Tiering / Cosmology Tiering.

[Rarelandpupper]

" VSBattles uses cross-verse dimensional tierring, which is completely incorrect. Some fictions use different types of dimensional tierring and some use none. Some fictions consider higher dimensions infinitely/completely superior to lower, while in some other fictions, lower dimensional beings can beat higher because higher dimensions mean nothing in that fiction. To determine whether or not a fictional series uses dimensional tierring, we need said series to confirm that there are higher dimensions and confirm that said higher dimensions are completely/infinitely superior to lower ones. "

They say that VSBW's dimensional tiering doesn't account for verses differing in dimensional structures, therefore it being correct.

Say a dimensional structure in one verse is temporal but anothers is spatio-temporal VSBW automatically assumes that 5D beings in both would be equal due to the fact that they are both 5 dimensional.

Just want VSB's opinion on this.

In the cases in which verses don't use and contradict the use of dimensions the way we use them we analyze the situation and don't give high tiers based on those characters' dimension, or we don't give high tiers based on characters scaling to characters with higher dimensions.

The easiest example to say would be Bill Cipher, who is a supposedly a 4-Dimensional being who 11-Dimensional beings are scared of. He doesn't scale to any of that in the way we see dimensions. This does not mean our dimensional tierring is "completely incorrect", just that we have to analyze things based on their context, as any other formula would have to.

Also I think we have written this somewhere(?)

So what dimensional constructs does the tiering go by then?

 

[Eficiente]

Having a physiology from 3 to any amount of dimensions in Gravity Falls doesn't give one more or less power, so we ignore that as a base to determine power and go by feats. I know it's not a direct answer but that's the only thing I can respond to that.

 

[Antvasima]

We should ideally make exceptions for higher-dimensional characters whose scale of power has been explicitly shown to contradict what our system would rate them as. However, unfortunately this principle has likely not been uniformly applied.

I also think that we wrote that down in one of our official information pages, but don't remember which one.

Comicvine has no tiering system. There are many people there with different opinions on how to scale characters regardless of level.
