So, I rewatched Baki on friday to get hyped for the second part, and now, it once again came to my attention that the current feat that everyone is High 8-C, likely 8-B for is a bit questionable.

Spec, who did the feat, was only able to destroy the statue of liberty via punching it an absolute ton of times. He couldn't do it in one blow, which is what we use for AP. Of course, even if we used it like that, this same barrage of blows didn't even destroy a tree when spec was punching Kaoru Hanayama into it over and over again.

Not only that, but, the Statue of Liberty didn't even get properly destroyed. It only started to fall when the guy working there pulled off the cloth cover to the damage, to which case it started to crack.

The statue even held up until guys could come in to tether it back together.

In short, the feat is a bit questionable to give a solid rating, and it's probably better if we don't have a separate key, considering all the other feats would just fall into the same 9-B rating that's already on the profiles.
 
Well you know that I agree with the changes, but there may be a couple feats that might keep them in Tier 8.

Haneyama was Abel to overpower and kill a massive great white shark while underwater, and iorc in his own side series, he's hilariously superior to a guy who punched someone through an aircraft hanger.
 
Hmm

Well, that seems worth looking into if you can grab scans.
 
I read the manga of where this happened as well as the anime of this and I have to agree with the feat everyone is scaled at to be questionable as well.

@PTSOXMONKEY99: Ah I remember the Great White Shark one (badass Haneyama as usual lol), though I don't remember the the aircraft hanger one?
 
I will say hanyama killed it via punching through its eye and crushing it's brain tho it did ram into him

Biscuit at one point threw a airplane or something like that and the recent "Villan" killed him with low diff

Also I've noticed a lack of...alot of characters on this site
 
OH

And yujiro can dodge lightning

Along with everyone that scales to him (Baki, Pickle, Murashi and his dad, possibly the new sumo but that's entirely an assumption based on other recent Baki villans)
 
Holey doley

Can we get the frame before that? He may have aimdodged, or moved in a fashion that makes it a bit lower then MHS+
 
It's just him walking down the street

It's from Baki (who is very knowledgeable on his father) and the lil old dood (don't remember his name tbh) talking about his capabilites cause hanyama challenged him...

And got one shotted...

Pickle has a similar feat in a flashback but I'll have to get the scan
 
If it's cloud to ground, it should be around Hypersonic I think

I'd have to get measuring stuff though
 
Well, it wasn't him walking down the street. It was a man talking about how powerful Ogre is and an artistic scene showing an example of a statement. Its chapter 13 of Baki Dou
 
I don't understand the question. The lightning scene was just a visualization of a statement made about how prepared and ready Ogre always is. I don't think it counts as legitimate lightning timing.
 
Yeah I can't find the Haneyama air hangar feat. I saw it in a YouTube video, but it was untranslated and I don't know what happened to the video. All I know that it was in a chapter of Baki Gaiden: Scarface

I'm also kinda iffy on the Yujiro lightning statement. On one hand, it's coming from people who know him pretty well, and have seen him in action and know what he's capable of. Plus there's like 2 feats of his that were calculated at like Hypersonic+ that were super casual. And he is always getting stronger.

On the other hand, there's a lot of flowery language and hyperbole used throughout the Baki series, and Yujiro was straight up struck by lightning in one chapter. It didn't hurt him, but still.
 
Considering that the language was flowery, Ogre didn't actually dodge a lightning bolt, and such a rating would effect a good number of the profiles I don't think it should be used. To me it just seems like standard hype to show how on guard Yujiro is at all times.
 
Bump

I still need some word back on the shark punching and aircraft carrier stuff
 
Well, it could get higher then 9-B, maybe.
 
Someone mentioned Pickle potentially doing something similar to the lightning dodging feat, so if that actually exists could be used instead of Yujiro's invalid case.
 
Not sure if the feat is good enough to warrant that

Plus, not even sure when in the series Scareface takes place
 
Hmm

Looks more like it collapsed/split, rather then fragged, which I could actually calc.
 
It's a really awful angle though

Sorry I couldn't give a scan, I could not find raws or translated copies anywhere
 
Yeah, this is rough

Either way, so, we don't really have anything properly Tier 8 for new baki?
 
I feel like 9-A sound such better than Tier 8. But considering the amount of punches I don't know if even that fits. The distance with the airplane hanger seems like a high end 9-B/9-A feat though.
 
Cutting actually gets really low results

If I was to really dig into it, I'm 99% sure it would get wall level
 
The jump from wall to small town for a handful of the main cast seems ridiculous, however finding feats in between the two can be difficult due to the "grounded" nature of the Baki powerscale.


I'd say small building to building range at least but like I said. There's a good chunk that gets to small town or should have some relative closeness.


Retsu harmed a focused miyamoto and miyamoto couldn't deep into hanayame. The new sumo character pretty much one shotted biscuit (R.I.P) Jack has gotten immensely stronger. Kasumi made pickle go all out. Probably missing someore but ya get the point.
 
Yeah, Baki can be wildly inconsistent at times. Though it was noted that Musashi rarely takes fights seriously, and if he isn't using his imaginary sword, then he isn't really going all out.

Not to say that Musashi wasn't a walking CIS/PIS machine (seriously how can he cut through Yujiro's thick hide with his imaginary swords, but then require a real sword to cut through Pickle's muscles?), but there is at least some explanation as to why he is the way he is.
 
I think the author never realized how powerful his characters would really get and is has a better understanding of more wall - building lvl stuff rather than the nuclear strength we've reached.
 
Welcome to fiction

Even people who do math behind the scenes of their work like me can sometimes get out of hand

Just ask me about 90% Speed of Light Mountains or 8-A+ Vaporization of some dirt

would anyone know how strong pushing hanyama 30 meters back with a single punch would be?
Or have a scan?...

This was very early in the series btw (top text)
 
Even if it moved that far within the span of like .1 seconds, it would still be wall level
