Well since this verse is in terrible shape, Ant has asked for someone to make a revision for it.

The problem is, I don't know the verse, I haven't watched the shows or read the comics. And almost all of the powers and abilities on the profiles are either without explanations, or vague ones, and without any scans on them. So unless there's someone here that happens to know the verse, most of these abilities would have to be removed because we can't verify their validity.

Now there's also the issues with their AP and speed. Since there's no calcs and no scans on the profiles, and often times no explanations either, most of these are seemingly random. Like Aphrodite/Ares being 9-A. Athena's justification for 9-A, is that she's comparable to Hades and Poseido who both are 7-B because Hades can "cause powerful storms" and Poseidon can "warm or cool the oceans".

I can list every profile and what's wrong with them, but I think you get the picture for the state on the profiles.

Additionally, there's no supporters list on the verse page, and the knowledgeable members list for this verse is empty, and from what I could tell the people that worked on the profiles have either been banned or are inactive, so there's no one really to contact for this. And without a knowledgeable person to take this on, the profiles would just become barren 9-Bs at this point. So I'm unsure as to how to proceed here.
 
Thank you for creating this thread. Feel free to ask some other VS Battles Staff members to comment here.

We may have to delete these profiles.
 
Well, we need some calculated feats to scale from for that, and I doubt that anybody here remembers the series well enough for that.
 
Okay. Thank you for the input. I would appreciate if you ask some content moderators to help us out with this.
 
Any other pages that link to the profiles also have to be updated.
 
Agreed, there's far too many horrible things to count; "+" signs without any calculations, calculation dependent justifications in general that are not made or at least not linked, some characters are Subsonic+ scaling from someone rated only as Superhuman speed, stats ratings that aren't part of out system like Class 20 as opposed to Class 10 to Class 25, tiers that don't line up with keys or Attack Potency ratings, and horrible organization of the stats such as range and durability being higher on the page view than striking strength, lifting strength, or speed.

The best thing to do IMO would be to nuke all the character pages and rewrite them all from scratch.
 
Agreed. Would you be willing to handle it? You would need to check "What links here?" for each of them though.
 
There are other things I'd like to take care of before I have to go to work, and may not have enough time to look over everything. But I might later tonight after work. Unless someone else is willing to look over as I've seen AKM Sama and Damage said something about it on the Discord server.
 
@Medeus

Okay. Thank you for helping out.
 
Okay, I've finished going through them. The only profiles they currently link to are to each other, so all of the pages for the verse can be deleted.
 
Thank you very much for helping out. I appreciate it.
 
I don't have the ability to delete them myself. Can someone else take care of them?
 
Yes. Thank you for helping out. I will close this thread then.
