Possibly Mega Man X Tier revisions

Shouldn't characters from X5 and below get downgraded? X8 is the game with the 4-B calc and it takes place a long time after X5, in which up till that point the best feats were Large Star+, namely Gravity Beetle and Antonion.

Gravity Beetle had the best feat at that point in time.

I'm not certain that Colonel, Iris, Double, etc should scale to Lumine, seeing as they died long before the superior New Generation Reploids existed, and Sigma's Copy Bodies based on a character who was likely the strongest in the series pre-X8 has his previous bodies utterly stomped, these same bodies would've been capable of handily defeating Colonel, X5 X/Zero, etc. Keep in mind those bodies existed like 50 years prior.


This is rather open, but some changes I would recommend are

-Zero, X, Sigma and Vile get a new Key of "X1-6, Pre-X7/8, X1-3 (Vile), or whatever suits that best"

-Colonel, Iris, Double, General, Magma Dragoon, Gate, Dynamo, and every X Era character not present in X8 would be downgraded to High 4-C+

Disagree, Sigma fought Zero prior the events of X, which was was stated to have destroyed strong Maverick Hunters. X and Zero are not Anime characters that gets much stronger from game to game. The 4-B margin is also very vast.

Strong Maverick Hunters when the previously strongest characters to compare them to were at best low 4-c (Sunstar)?

X's power is multiplied by several times even just in X1 alone, which takes place over the course of like what, a week? Sigma even at times attempts to test X's potential to aid reploids. The Zero series actually shows that Zero does get significantly stronger each game as in Z1, the guardians were a major challenge, in Z2 they're weaker as bosses, and in Z3 they're fodder, to give an example.

That last point is a valid one, admittedly.

This has been discussed in a previous thread.

There is nothing that shows the X series characters getting a considerable power jump from the previous games to X8, and unless there is one, we can't assume.

I went over this before in the other thread.

Until the events of Command Mission and Zero, none of the main characters got a major, permanent upgrade to their hardware other than the Dash ability and Zero's first rebuild. There's no reason to assume that their power dramatically increased over time, especially when all Reploids are knock-offs of X in particular.

Really? Care to show me where?

Maverick Hunters are like robot police. Why would they be 4-B? That breaks the setting.

Downgrade them immediately.
