if theres one thing ive learned from freaks on the internet its that people have an almost impressive ability to "reason" themselves into the dumbest position you have ever seen and then never ever ever move from that position even if everything in the entire universe is telling them its wrong
just reinforces my belief that true wisdom/intelligence (and nobility, in the good sense) is partly self-reflection to make sure you aren't just constantly huffing your own farts
that or theyre all just lying shitheads who dont wanna lose a vs matchup, probably both
I honestly can't tell which it is
It's 50% narrative dissonance to them. This part I understand even if I think it's a poor justification
on its own because fiction doesn't have to play by any rules. To me you need further evidence to debunk a feat than it being unrealistic. Stories are not realistic by nature. But then there's just the insane lengths to not make any concessions whatsoever, even if it doesn't change the outcome of a match at all. It's mind numbing
That's exactly the many things I have seen in Spacebattles in my time and it has gotten worse to the point I have said this plenty of times in the past:
"Spacebattle members have no concept of what a metaphor or a simile is".
And it's true, they will look at a metaphor or a simile and completely take it at it's word rather than understand that it's just wordplay with the infamous example being that Da Vinci explains that the Temple of Time in FGO is going to explode due to all of the collective energy of the AAS Rings going critical and she explains it that it would be like a supernova. Somehow, you have people believe that the collective AAS Rings are Star level despite the fact that it makes zero sense as a single ring is closer to Star level and the combined version is comparad to galaxies.
It's the same shit when it comes to Fate/Stay Night or god forbid Samurai Remnant because they will ignore anything that completely goes against their views while then trying to state that Servants in F/SN can barely scratch supersonic and can't mess up a City Block but ignore the Caladbolg II explosion done while losing most of it's power from Heracles swatting it, Artoria destroying the Holy Grail and Grail Mud, Belleophron being able to offset Excalibur for a decent bit at full power, Medea straight up blowing a hole straight through a Mountain and the many, many times Archer's arrows can cover Kilometers in virtually a second or less and characters still being able to react to, dodge and block them including Medea.
It's actually funnier to me how they approach to mid end feats compared to the high ends. Eg. with Kars, because they don't buy the FTL feat they only accepted....him not being able to catch the airplane at the end.
???? huh?
He has three other notable speed feats, all in the hypersonic range, one of them is even
in the fight with the airplane, why are we defaulting to the lowest end one?
They tried to push for sub-bullet speed Jolyne when she was punching out meteorites without even looking at them. They then tried to argue the meteorites were subsonic while linking an article that actually proved they were moving around mach 20. I just don't get it man
My main issue is that I would be fine if SB was to use Low End Approach for all series but that's when they don't. It's extremely ridiculous to go and discount TES for it's lore because of gameplay but not do the same for Disgaea as it's primarily lifted due to it's gameplay, not it's story. They put Versus and One Punch Man on absolutely ridiculous pedestals because "ONE and Murata" but then ignore the extremely blatant feats of Final Fantasy because "story logic" despite the story backs those up even moreso than the infamous Void feat people still act like matters.
Like you can see how often they blow up Harry Potter and RWBY whenever they appear but then gets ultra strict with another series despite the obvious and it just gets unreal.
See I agree with this too, if it was super hardball lowest end across the board, that is at least a fair standard applied evenly. Even if I disagree with the approach, it's
internally consistent. But their approaches to series like JoJo, Elden Ring (the
only credit I'll give here is ER requires a lot of legwork to full understand and solidify the scaling, but even then they refused to accept its lower end feats either, so this was still a case of dishonesty rather than being skeptical towards the higher end stuff alone), Elder Scrolls, etc. just
aren't. Final Fantasy is another good example of a series that isn't given a fair shake because it isn't evaluated on the same principles as others.
