Why is a 7x AP gap considered the bare minimum for a oneshot and is this official?

Throughout many threads, I've been told that in order to oneshot someone else, a character's AP had to be 7x that of another's durability. Can anyone confirm this and explain why?

Gap it's x7.5 actually, it's the difference between baseline human level and baseline street level. In theory it should be higher, considering that the baseline wall level was performed by a human.

It doesn't apply for scaling, just vs threads. The idea is that someone like Mike Tyson (a 9-C) would be able to KO or even kill normal people with a straight shot to the face given the chance. However, you can theoretically one shot people at way lower levels of AP (sometimes even being inferior to your opponent) because necks and some other spots are very vulnerable places.

So if an individual was to be able to oneshot someone, he wouldn't scale to being 7x stronger than him? (Just want to make sure before I go around saying something that I misunderstood)

Nope, you can't apply such multiplier in verses. Otherwise you'd be inflating lots of characters in fiction using a non-strict rule considering how much the damage a person can take from someone sometimes stronger or weaker than them.

I had the same question, thanks for the awnsers.

 

[The_Calaca]

No problem. Should we close this thread or do you have more questions about it?

 

[BakiHanma18]

Nope, that's all. I'll inform the people I was talking to about this matter. Thanks everyone!

 

[The_Calaca]

No problem.
