But still, Azathoth already explained why and we just went over it. Anyway, some of the staff members are feeling overworked; as much as I want to see more Tier 2 ratings, we have enough from the god tiers. Additionally, most of the characters never even remotely demonstrate such power in competitive combat; which Smash Bros in general is mostly about competitive multiplayer rather than power scaling massive feats.
Anyway, I really don't want the staff feeling overworked on things that have been discussed repeatedly and turn out to be repetitive. This might even be Discussion rule worthy if this keeps up.
"Azathoth already explained":
With all due respect to Azathoth, his explanation was "they're just carbon copies of the same character with a higher tier", which isn't true; Smash bros. characters are trophies representing their canon counterparts with much more limited arsenals that merely reference their origins. They're completely different in terms of lore, classification, and abilities. It's not the same as inserting Goku into another story where higher characters exist.
His explanations were refuted and the rebuttals were never given a proper response other than "No, because Azzy said so". That's what is called Appeal to Authority.
"Some of the staff members are feeling overworked":
This doesn't have to be a staff discussion. If it's that big of an issue we can simply have the regular members and the non-admin staff contribute to the discussion, so far as they provide legitimate input other than "no, because I said so".
"We have enough from the god tiers":
This isn't a reason to deny any rankings. The point of debate is not to come to a conclusion that is satisfying or comfortable, but one that is sound and valid. That's like me saying I think the 6-B statement of "pacifying an entire ocean" in Middens is enough, and denying all of the 4-B and High 3-A feats because I like 6-B more.
"Most of the characters never demonstrate such power in competitive combat; which Smash Bros in general is mostly about competitive multiplayer rather than power scaling massive feats":
The Low 2-C feats use the same logic and reasoning as our current 7-B feats; The Creation Trio feats all come from Poke Balls and Stages, much like our current feats involving Entei and the Reset Bombs.
At this point there's zero reason to deny these feats other than "I can't fathom a Low 2-C Mr. Game and Watch".
The concept of Smash Bros. profiles for already existing characters doesn't conflict with any rules. Threatening to shut this topic down isn't going to accomplish anything but denying a verse some rankings that are, as it stands, much more consistent and solid than our current ones.
