Freezing Calculations.

So, I was wondering how those calculations do work. As far I can tell the Tiering System (For 3-D feats) are based off the amount of energy a character can generate; Destroying stuff, moving at certain speeds, moving stuff a certain speeds, etc.

That's why I find those calcs a bit of, contradictory (Lowering energy instead of generating one).

Please, enlighten me with an answer that I can actually understand (But don't be too simplistic tho...).

Being able to lower/counteract the amount of energy and by extension "damage" characters of X tier resulting in the one freezing being able to be considered tha tier as well? Idk, I never thought about it
