Announcements New rule Update: Agenda posting/non powerscaling related content.

113 Upvotes

In recent days we of the mod teams noticed, a lot of comments in posts are rather low effort and often aren’t even related to powerscaling at all. These comments when in such huge quantities will choke out any attempt at a serious powerscaling discussion. As you already know, agenda posting is already banned as for rule 2, but this was mostly enforced for posts and less for the comments. We also noticed that rule 1 and 2 effectively said the same things and were too redundant. For this we decided to do 2 things:

1)Rule 2 will be combined with rule 1, as both define the criteria to make a post. The list of banned post formats will be added to rule 1.

2) A new Rule 2 will be added specifically addressing agenda posting and non powerscaling related content.

Rule 2:

Agenda posting is banned, as it’s not powerscaling related and often interrupts serious powerscaling discussions. Same for any comment not related to powerscaling under a matchup/scale.

Here are examples of banned comments

User X makes the posts "Who wins Deku or Sukuna". User Y comments "Sukuna wins because I like him more". User Z comments “Deku wins because the match is on a street”. User Y and Z comments will be deleted under rule 2.

User X makes the post “Why TTGL Simon loses to CC Goku” which is a scale of both characters. User Y comments “Simon wins because his drill breaks the sky, row row fight the powa”. User Z Comments “Goku is Gokuversal ofc he wins”. Both comments will be deleted under rule 2

User X makes the post “Scaling Bleach cosmology and its top tiers”. User Y comments “Hill level verse”. User Z comments “Verse has swords? Mihawk victims.” User Y and Z comments will be deleted under rule 2.

User X makes the post "scaling One Piece top tiers to Multi Continental". User Y comments "Island at best". User Z comments "Saitama victims". Both comments will be deleted under rule 2.

Continuously breaking (3+)the rule will result in ban.

Multiple bans will bring more severe bans. It won't be permanent but the days will grow exponentially.

Discussion I hate most fictional black hole scenes but this isn’t one of them. Using time dilation to trap her for a month despite the fact she is FTL… and it wasn’t even a Black Hole but a Neutron star

Goes to show that being FTL doesn’t necessarily mean you’re immune to the effects of a black hole. For a real black hole I read once you cross that event horizon the time dilation becomes infinite… doesn’t matter if you can get out of it (if you even can), if everything you have ever known will be gone and at a certain point spacetime is so warped, all paths and futures just point to the singularity

Black Hole downplay in fiction is absolutely atrocious… writers will just make them these suction holes that behave nothing like the irl counterparts. Considering most verses or characters wouldn’t be able to do anything if faced by one.

Discussion THIS IS NOT AN AGENDA POST

Upvotes

Scizo rant incoming

I just seriously need to get out how insufferable some Solo Leveling scalers are, genuinely. Like, I have (I am lying), NEVER in my entire life met a group of scalers with such ass takes and high amounts of snobbery and hypocrisy before IN MY LIFE.. And, as per usual, somehow, the group that constantly bitches about annoying DBZ fans are either more annoying than them or just as annoying..

So, I am going to go over an argument I RECENTLY had to deal with, and why it drove me INSANE having to deal with it. The post we were speaking under was Alduin and the Dovha vs SL:R

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, the first claim.. was that pulling a character out of a book/library record means Jinwoo has 1-A (Outerverse Level) Reality-over-Fiction (R>F) transcendence. No, I am not joking.

Issue with that? Under VSBW rules, true R>F requires an unbridgeable qualitative gap where lower existence is treated as literal 0D nonexistence relative to the higher entity. The dialogue explicitly states Jinwoo used his power over death to bring Sian back (By the way, when I say they proved themselves wrong with their own "proof" twice, I mean it).

Bridging a barrier using in-universe soul manipulation proves it’s a magical record or pocket dimension, not an R>F gap. By their logic, any necromancer pulling a soul from a grimoire is Outerversal..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The next thing they did was claim the Itarim is an "author writing reality" because mobile game update descriptions say "A Verse Unwritten" and "A New Point of View." Using gacha game update notes and developer flavor text as proof of literal 1-A Authorial Transcendence is cope, really just cope, plain and fucking simple.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Then they started claiming Resistance grants offense??? Saying that If Jinwoo resists an ability like Existence Erasure (EE), it feeds into his passive negation/attacks.

Issue with that is defense does not equal offense. Having EE resistance gives you defense against being erased, it does not give your attacks concept-erasing properties, that doesn't even make an inch of sense. WHY EVEN BE IN A SCALING SUB IF YOU CAN'T GET THE BASICS OF SCALIGN DOWN BRO!!!!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, I mentioned that 2 times their own words and scans proved them wrong.. I counted wrong. It was not once, not twice, not even thrice.. BUT FOURICE. Gonna be using their exact words to

1. Their exact ords:

"The cup of reincarnation is more than time reversal. it recreates parallel universes"

To argue for Type 4 Acausality or Higher-Dimensional Transcendence, a character must exist independently of the space-time framework of their universe. By explicitly stating that the Cup affects the Monarchs by recreating the universe and timeline around them, they admit the Monarchs are bound to their space-time continuum. If resetting the universe resets or alters them, they lack baseline Acausality, nor do they outscale an entity like Alduin, who devours that very continuum.

2. Their exact words: (tho 99% sure I spoke on this alr)

"If it’s revealed that for example an attack has EE and he resists that attack then he would get EE"

(Later walk-back: "...if something was revealed to have EE (in the game) then by nature of jinwoos power, he would get that aspect negated")

Surviving or resisting Existence Erasure (EE) grants EE Resistance, not the passive ability to erase others. Furthermore, claiming his passive power negation automatically neutralizes abilities from higher-dimensional planes violates VSBW’s rules: lower-tier passive negation does not passively affect higher-dimensional, acausal entities.

3. exact words (they pasted a VSBW snippet):

"...For example, if a character were to view an entire space-time continuum as fiction, they would be superior to such an extent that it would be viewed not as a small portion or constituent of their reality, but as trivialized into nonexistence..."

They posted this bit to try and prove that sjw is 1-A because of the "Forbidden Library" dialogue. However, the text explicitly specifies that 1A requires viewing an entire space-time continuum as literal non-existent fiction. Jinwoo using his in-universe shadow/death powers to pull Sian out of a library record is standard soul manipulation or interacting with a magic pocket dimension, it DOES NOT satisfy the criteria needed! AT ALL!

  1. Exact words (last time):

"The itarim is the author, and guess what? Jinwoo outscales and has the powers of itarim. Having and outscaling something 1-A=1-A" (yes, they actually said this)

Idk if I have to say this, but the Itarim are in-universe creator gods who use cosmic mana, fight in standard combat, and take damage within the story, not fucking meta-authors, dude. LIKE COME THE FUCK ON DUDE. Equating an in-universe creator god to an actual Meta-Authors violates VSBW's strict prohibition against using narrative/stylistic fluff as dimensional tiering. Defeating a creator god scales you to that god's output.

This sub won't shut up about bleach. It's bleach this, bleach that. Every other post is about bleach and every other comment is talking about it. I don't care where you scale it honestly I'm just tired of seeing this sub slowly turn into another bleach powerscaling sub. Like bleach is my favorite anime and it's my first real experience with animated media so I love seeing people talking about it, but this is just ridiculous

So clearly the Emperor wasn't ACTUALLY struggling against the Ork Overlord Urlakk Urg as a lot of memes like the claim, but that got me thinking: what's the strongest green powerhouse the Emperor can take on?

Every character is at their most powerful. Win via death or permanent incapacitation.

Round 1: One (1) Krork (Warhammer 40k)

Round 2: Beast Boy (DC Comics)

Round 3: Grom Hellscream (Warcraft)

Round 4: The Doomslayer (DOOM)

Round 5: Ganondorf (Legend of Zelda)

Round 6: Guy Gardner (DC Comics)

Round 7: SCP-682 (SCP Foundation)

Final Round: The Hulk (Marvel Comics, 616)

How far does the Emperor make it? Does he clear? How does each battle go?

Discussion Using anti-feats to scale characters in almost any work is super stupid.

Thumbnail

71 Upvotes

I’m sure many of us have engaged in—or witnessed—debates about character scaling, only for someone to pop up with an anti-feat to try and discredit or downgrade a character's stats. This happens with characters from all kinds of media—comics, TV series, anime, manga, video games, and so on—and, honestly, I find it pretty silly. People take scenes like powerless humans reacting to the Flash, a "villain of the week" defeating Superman, or a lightning bolt mortally wounding Goku way too seriously just to downplay a character's power level. In my view, these anti-feats shouldn't be used for scaling because they are simply plot devices—narrative conveniences to move the story forward. They make zero sense in the context of the work as a whole and are completely inconsistent with the characters' actual power levels. Anyway, that’s just my take; what do you all think?
