I have some minor JoJo questions, and in the meantime, I've discovered a slight hiccup in the scaling system. There are various explanations for some of the rankings on why a letter-ranked Stand is placed at whatever level. I'm just asking various questions about them, so I wouldn't consider this all Content Revision unless we all agree on a change.
1. Power Rank B: Small Building level to Large Building level (through scaling from stands like Bad Company to Magician's Red feat)
I assume from whatever the Small Building rank originates from, it'd be from Bad Company. However, these "Small Building" feats for it either A. Don't exist or have no calc, or B. Were wanked based off of statements as such. The manga says that Bad Compay was going to the destroy the Nijimura house over time, and I doubt destroying a Small Building over time =/= Small Building. Sources below.
This would eliminate Bad Company's inclusion in the description and the Small Building entirely, wouldn't it? If there's no Small Building feat, is the gap necessary? Should we just leave all B Rank Stands at High 8-C and just that?
2. Power Rank C: Street level to Wall level (through scaling from stands such as Gold Experience and Soft & Wet)
As you can see from the linked pages, both of those Stands ranking aren't Street level, but only Wall level. Like I've said before, if there's no Street level feat, why keep the gap? This would mean just keeping the 9-B ranking and leaving out the 9-C.
3. Speed Rank B: Massively Hypersonic to Speed of Light (from scaling from stands like Stone Free, The Hand, Purple Haze, and Scary Monsters)
Scary Monsters does have a Massively Hypersonic speed feat linked here: http://www.narutoforums.com/xfa-blog-entry/calc-super-freak-steel-ball-run.26498/ . However, for Speed of Light? First of all, I thought this was originally Relativistic+, and secondly I haven't seen a feat or calc that puts any of the listed Stands at a similar speed. If we don't have a logical reason for that, why do we have it ranked as such? It confuses me, and a response on this would be great. Actually, why we have gaps in general outside of those Ranks of actually Unknown statings? Really, that's only the C Speed ranking since there are no feats/calcs on those Stands. An answer on that would be great, if anyone actually does have an argument on that.f
4. Scaling Contradictories
This is one of the more major ones. A user named Hazamada has a Stand called Surface. Its rank in Power is B, or Large Building level. This is a scan from the manga, Part 4 of Surface if you want to look into it yourself.
What would we do in this situation? Would we disregard this and place it at High 8-C, or would we take this as its stated and go for 10-B? Some Stands have contradictions like this, but not all of them.
5. Peak Human VS Superhuman JoJo characters
Half of the JoJo pages have Superhuman Physical Characteristics, while some of the other half only have Peak Human. I'm somewhat confused on this, because when I check some pages, when I think they have one of these listed on their Powers & Abilities, it feels like they've been switched around. If you check some various pages, some have Peak Human, some have Superhuman Physical Characteristics. Do we stick to one for all characters? I'm somewhat confused and I want to list these characters correctly instead of constantly having them switched somehow.
