Also, I'd like to assume this is just the limitations of the game, but wouldn't a legitimate nuke like... nuke the entire area?

There is no explosion to calc. Also, they are said have power comparable to a nuke iirc.
I can look for it.

"This nuke will nuke everything in sight if it is defeated. The best strategy is to run from it. If it is with a companion, defeat the companion, then run."-Earthbound one
"Replenishes even more energy than the Atomic Power Robot, but its explosion is all the more powerful, too."-Mother 3.
Atomic Power Robot is said to take his power from the atom.

Uh where is it stated to take it's power from the atom?

Usually Earthbound enemies are around 9-A to High 8-C according to the Starman and Buzz Buzz's profile. The nukes iirc are just assumptions that are similar to our world or something like that, but don't quote me on that.

That was another point I was going to bring up, there's several far lower feats that the earthbound cast get hurts by.DaBigP said:

I looked it up, I don't see anything saying he takes his power from the atom.CrimsonStarFallen said:

Iirc there is an enemy that is supposed to be like a walking nuclear reactor or something as well

That's the enemy we're talking about but aside from a name and a quote seemingly taken out of context + the other enemies that are far weaker I honestly don't know if we can take this as legit, or an outlier.
- 12,824

I mean they are doing it late game iirc, so it may not be an outlier if they are portrayed as far stronger late game

Yeah, those are last dungeon enemies.

Starman are late game enemies yet can still get casually stomped by Buzz Buzz whose shown a High 8-C feat.

Buzz Buzz wasn't fighting a full blown star man lol. He was fighting a Starman Junior, a basic B one
- 12,824
- 3,983
False, those are Starman Jr, who are way weaker than normal Starman, who aren't even late game enemies. And the Starman that ARE late game, aka Ghost of Starman and Final Starman, are also stronger than the Nuclear Reactor Dude iirc.

Even full blown starmans are rated High 8-C, only the Final Starman and Ghost of the Starman are rated 7-C and that's via scaling.

I'm gonna go ahead and ask Dark for input, there's already a revision going on for Earthbound. I'm neutral regarding the tier "change". Jotaro vs Ness when?

@Giver
My dude, the Battle Memory has info on all enemies of the game. They say that the Atomic Power Robot gets his power from the atom.

Well then looks like they need to be revised. They are just rated based on being superior to some grunts. Instead, they should scale to Ness

A lightning bolt that he fired lol. That scales to his AP obviously

It was his own lightning bolt though. It'd scale to his own AP. Him killing himself doesn't discredit lower ratings.
We have 4-B Pistols in some verses because scaling can be like that, it is not necessary for each and every attack to demonstrate X level of AP.

It acts just like an actual lightning bolt and nothing suggests in this case it isn't actual lightning. It even does the same properties as lightning.

They can generate elemental psychic attacks, but that doesn't mean it isn't as powerful as his other attacks. Why would it be any weaker? If he can ignite town level flames then why would town level electricity be any issue?

Those pistols are specifically future made pistols, I don't see the legitimate comparisosn here. Nor am I saying it is necessary, but Claus doesn't even have 7-C feats it's quite literally just via powerscaling.Wokistan said:

They are using the same techniques that Paula uses in Earthbound, so they obviously can go that high. What's the issue?

Paula's another character at that tier via scaling, none of her actual feats at that level. I also don't see where it's stated Claus is using the ssame technique as Paula.
- 12,824
- 3,983
Also, the Claus argument is dumb. The lightning bolt is from his sword, he tanked it multiple times, and he can use PSI, otherwise he would be unable to use PK Love.
- 5,826
- 1,233
Wait what? He learned PK Love in the beginning of the game tho. He and Lucas are only capable of pulling the needle because of that.GiverOfThePeace said:
