Worst Users Of Every Power

Seems good - and honestly collegiate wrestling would probably not be particularly impressive to begin with. Does his lack of physical ability apply to firearms use or is he actually capable at that?
Profile says:
Weapon Mastery (Knows how to use a few different guns, trained in the military)

Mind, Mr. Burns is superhumanly frail to varying degrees. One time, he tried to crush an ant below his shoe, & the ant resisted, lifted & toppled him. Another time, he lifted a wooden baseball bat intent to hit someone's head with it, but exhausted himself & fell to the ground in the scope of seconds trying to raise the bat.
His profile also notes an outlier where he defeated the Loch Ness Monster.

....I thought there was a Mr. Burns Respect Thread from years back, but infuriatingly, I cannot find it, despite great effort.

So I'll just say I'm confident he's fired a gun at least once, though I'm not sure if it's affected him in accordance with his super-weakness. FWIW, his weakness may be tied to his ancient age; How old he is varies, much like his weakness. Sometimes he's old enough to have fought in wars, other times he's centuries or even thousands of years old.

There are explicitly characters who have weapon mastery and martial arts who shouldn't. Characters who have martial arts for throwing a generic punch and weapon mastery for swinging a weapon once or even just for holding one, like Petyr Baelish from Game or Thrones.

Would that not be a Featured Ability Invalidly Listed, or F.A.I.L. for short?
 
sans might soon get the weakest temperature manipulation ever

Changing the ambient temperature by 0.1°F (since Undertale uses that unit) without having to do anything physically is still better than keeping the temperature of something that's at most as big as a basketball the same by holding it in your hands (doesn't even work on extremely hot or cold objects since she has no resistance to either and will get hurt).

Went some looking around, only 2 notable examples I found of him shotting his guns. The first is treehouse of horrors so automatic grain of salt, and the other is him shooting towards the air which caused him to sink into the snow though he immediately just shot himself out of it so that's not even a bad example.

Most cases Burns is just pointing his gun at someone and not actually firing it, so at bare minimal he's typically at a point of holding it consistently and is at least confident enough that he'd land a shot or two depending on how many people he's planning to shoot.
 
In all honesty, too many characters have weapon mastery just for holding a weapon once. Petyr Baelish being a prime example.

TBF the criteria of 'using a weapon better than the average person' is vague and broad af when that standard changes where you are in the world + average skill in something is hard to quantify.
 
i've always been of the opinion our combat P&A are weirdly titled. Not only does martial arts include non-formal combat ability (so quite literally not martial arts) but weapon mastery is both kind of weirdly superlative and also weird in that a lot of weaponry is used in ways pretty similar to unarmed combat, whereas ranged weapons are a completely different situation. I suggested just making a "Combat Expertise" page that'd be the fusion of them all and solve some of these problems but Ant didn't like it, so that didn't go anywhere.
 
I think it'd be an improvement but with questionable additions like "Superhuman Precision" it seems to me like the staff mostly prefer to make P&A specific rather than generic. Still, someone could probably make a more organized push for it, I just floated the idea at some point and didn't really bother to pursue it when it wasn't well received - I'm sure explaining it better could get some more agreements.

I guess people want "owns a weapon" to be in the Powers and Abilities section.

I kind of wonder if that's actually his power.

Most likely since he's the leader of the cult and anyone who consumes any media depicting him will be compulsed to practice Filbism. Now that I look at it, those ads allow him to spread his image which can land him more followers, so it might not be that bad.

Renominating Velma for worst Martial Arts because of this match and the arguments brought up in it. Joe is only a shitty boxer in the specific context of his verse, not necessarily in general similar to, say, Dan Hibiki from Street Fighter.

Agreed. Velma arguably shouldn't even qualify for martial arts. In real life, self-defence classes targeted towards women are usually counterproductive. That's true for any McDojo, but that's what women's self-defence classes are.

No, Joe just sucks ass lol. His form is awful, he's terrified every time he's in the ring, he foreshadows every punch with several seconds of windup, he doesn't even throw them right, he's french, he doesn't even keep his guard up. It's not a small fish in a big pond situation he's just actually an idiot.
 
This guy fits for the worst user of Multiple Selves. I think his justification describes the reason behind this well.
I think Grima's is worse, that guy's application is useless but Grima's actively harmful for him.

While it isn't that relevant in his Awakening key, in the future past, Grima solely lost because Robin kept interfering and screwing him at the worst moments several times:
  • Robin held back Grima's attack on Tiki which allowed her soul to live and reincarnate into Naga the only being who could threatened Grima at this point.
  • Robin prevented Grima from dealing Chrom the final blow and teleported him to safety.
  • Robin during the ending fought Grima over the body's control, incapaciting him long enough for Lucina to complete the rite of Awakening and fatally wound him
 

Death-Stalker has a bunch of wacky shit. One of his SPC points is having no heartbeat. Idk what else to list it as. Piece de resistance tho, is:
This is just a worse version of the current Type 4
  • He WILL perma-die, his resurrection doesn't change that at all no matter what he does.
  • There literally cannot be another possible outcome for him
  • He has no memory of resurrecting, but he gets depressed whenever it happens
 
No idea if he was submitted or not, but I think Bob Velseb is easily the worst user of Immortality type 2. Like c'mon, normal ass humans can survive those things in some rare cases (let alone Composite human, who don't have Immortality type 2 on their profile). IMO Bob should not qualify for this immortality at all, since he died later on, I think it just should upscale his durability instead
 
Yeah if an ability doesn't really qualify and erroneously added I prefer to not put it in the list
