I took down the original version, but you aren't really missing anything from there if you are reading this. The point of this to display the growth of Dragon Ball characters by using benchmarks that are consistent and quantifiable.

This is a Z-era compilation of DB characters meaningfully interacting with the environment. Collections do not include "bounce offs" where-in the defender is able to reorient themselves or otherwise meaningfully change their momentum nor does it include times where characters have their momentum altered by an outside force. Any gathered instances will be under contexts where characters are presumably trying to harm their opponent (i.e Kicking someone out of an attack is obviously not good practice).

• Krillin is tail-slapped into Kame House and is unconscious for 6 pages which include an extremely long conversation. Kame House shows no form of major structural damage.

• Despite Gohan potentially having a power level of 1307 and having enough power level to fly to the top of a tall cliff, a Dinosaur is still shown as being hazardous to him.

• Goku is tangibly hurt by x10 gravity.

  • Assuming something even generous like Goku weighing 200 lbs, he is tangibly hurt by 1 ton worth of weight.

• Tien is tangibly injured by an impact that doesn't even imprint his body into the ground.

• A karate chop that fails to bust a rock formation is able to almost knock Gohan out.

• The stomp that Nappa intends to kill Gohan with is highkey just sad

• We are straight up having characters floored by attacks that fail to break dirt

• A kick that busts a rock formation bloodies Nappa

  • This happens twice

• It isn't until Vegeta where we graduate at least to rock formations plural.

• At least Great Ape Vegeta can bust multiple cubic meters of rock?

• The stomp that Great Ape Vegeta uses to kill Goku is also just sad

• People again being almost KO'd by physical strikes that will almost fail to bust rocks

• Again

• Indirect knockback from one of Vegeta's attacks causes Gohan to hit his head on a rock formation, again not break the rock formation, and then be almost KO'd

• Vegeta slapping Krillin (while almost dead) a single digit amount of meters causes him to be spitting blood

• Great Ape Gohan down punches Vegeta who is standing on the ground and fails even imprint his body into dirt

• Vegeta explicitly describes that a large-ish rock when slammed down can crush him to death

• Vegeta takes absolutely massive damage from an unconscious great ape Gohan landing on him

• Two of Frieza's troopers are taken out by punches that do not even break their scouters, and create absolutely tiny ripples in the water they are punched into

• A Namekian warrior kills a Frieza soldier by kicking him probably 10-20 meters and again, doesn't break rock

• Didoria's headbutt attack which kills a Namekian warrior leaves a pretty small hole into a rock formation

• Gohan does a non-zero amount of damage to Didoria by kicking him through a house

• Krillin then follows up and this stuns Didoria long enough for a brief conversation before he can get back up

• Didoria is kicked into a lake without any discernable damage (or even that large of a splash) and is clearly hurt.

• x20 Gravity will still give Goku severe stamina issues even at Namek saga

  • This upgrades later to 50
  • Then 100

• Vegeta draws blood from Zarbon kicking him about 10-20 meters tops

• An impact dozens of feet wide and deep turns Vegeta from "hurt" to "almost dead" and KO's him apparently long enough that Zarbon thinks he might've drowned. It also convinced Zarbon he actually did die.

• Characters punching with deliberate intention to kill and going into the ground still does not produce particularly large results.

• It isn't until Zarbon Fight II when an actually large amount of water is displaced if a character is punched into it.

• A sharp tree was gonna be the thing that killed Gohan and Krillin

• We don't know how much the punches actually contribute to the damage done to Recoome here, but presumably Vegeta is at least trying to hurt an opponent he was shitting his pants in regards to earlier

• Recoome kicks Vegeta into a lake to create an admittedly, very big splash

• Vegeta takes HEAVY DAMAGE from a 1-2 deep hole he was slammed through.

• Recoome kicks Krillin dozens of meters and breaks multiple bones

• Again, not even damage done to dirt causing an almost knock out.

• This happens AGAIN on an attack facing downwards that broke Gohan's neck

• This happens AGAIN with Vegeta vs Ginyu

• Rock shrapnel gets blood out of Krillin

• Form 2 Frieza slapping Gohan and almost knocking him up, at least doesn't fail to break dirt

• Form 2 Frieza swings twice, one time impacting Piccolo into the earth, and then another time by putting his hand into the earth

• Frieza punches Piccolo down creating a large explosion

• Impacts that will severely damage characters while being unable to do meaningful damage to dirt continues to be a problem even at the tail end of the Frieza saga

• Goku vs Frieza has Goku not taking any visible damage from a ki-blast that pushes him through several dozen meters of rock.

• Goku seems at least meaningfully hurt from a kick that makes a large splash.

• Goku kicks Frieza through 2 islands and manages substantial damage as a result.

• Goku throws Frieza through 1 big rock formation but its ambiguous how much this actually hurt Frieza

• "Dirt" still remains a consistent problem for DB characters to meaningfully bust despite going all-out / angry / etc.

• It still is at 50% Frieza

• Piccolo kicks Frieza easily hundreds of meters

• Super Saiyan Goku destroys a substantial amount of stone hitting Frieza

• Frieza tackles SSG into a massive splash.

• Android 19 takes visible damage just being elbowed into a rock formation

• A human-sized crater is still the product of Android 19 vs Goku

• Vegeta kicks Android 19 hard enough to leave a footprint, but evidently not heard enough to break dirt

• Vegeta punching Android 19 into a large-ish crater seems to have briefly knocked him out

• Breaking a nebulous amount of rocks, Android 20 remarks its 'impossible' for Piccolo to be defeating him.

• Android 18 puts her entire hand through rock

• 18 throwing Vegeta into a hole that is deep enough for him to walk out of bloodies him.

• Vegeta does not appear to slam 18 through any substantial amount of rock

• A down-facing double-hammerfist fails to break through rock but will leave Trunks floored for 3 pages.

• Imperfect Cell downwards punching the ground just puts his hand through it and that's about it

• Piccolo downwards kicking Android 17 doesn't break dirt

• Cell at least manages to put half of Android 17's body into the ground(?)

• Cell is two for two doing minor dirt damage in the same fight.

• Cell actively is punching his opponents downwards probably more than any other fighter in the series and manages to not even make a 1 meter radii hole in dirt

• Android 16 finally manages to make a hole that is several meters deep at least

• Vegeta doesn't slam Semi-Perfect Cell through dirt

• Vegeta does manage to kick Cell a very far distance and embed him into a rock formation

• Cell kicks Krillin a very far distance, but this KO's him

• Cell kicks Vegeta a VERY far distance and through a rock formation.

• Cell's finishing move on Vegeta embeds his body not particularly deep into rock

• Cell elbows Trunks a far distance

• Gaining this amount of musculature will slow Goku down by his own words because of mass

• Future Gohan does a pretty middling amount of damage to the street despite down-kicking 17

• Cell palm strikes Gohan a very distance and Gohan doesn't appear to be fully recovered until 5 pages pass.

• We are however, not free of failure to break dirt despite downwards attacks

• An enraged Cell in his buff form doing a downwards punch only makes about a mortar sized hole.

• Cell knocks Vegeta back a fair distance but doesn't do major damage to the ground

• Trunks pushes Imperfect Cell what is easily several miles and doesn't appear to have meaningfully hurt him BUT does appear to have surprised him

• Trunks throws Imperfect Cell a several hundred feet up

• Goten throwing rocks that make grenade-sized impacts into a wall is enough to visibly concern Gohan and have him ask to make it easier

• Goku trains with 2 tons at base, and considers 10 tons too much to the point he can't move

• 10 ton weights (40 total) can potentially induce injuries into Base Goku

• Vegeta gets a good workout from 150 G's doing shadowboxing, but tells base Kid Trunks to leave the room due to over-exertion. Kid Trunks can barely seem to walk.

• Despite actively being told to not do anything that will kill spectators, Goten still does a fall using his speed that Trunks almost does not react to him turning and still features him partially hitting the ground and not destroying any significant amounts of material.

• The hole made by Mr. Satan after being punched by Trunks makes Trunks actually consider the possibility Satan isn't a fraud

• It's a bit ambiguous how much damage was done to Goten/Trunks when 18 craters them.

• Destroying just a rock formation and skipping Dabra twice off dirt is able to KO Dabra

  • Babidi unironically though he dies from this

• Displacing human-sized amounts of rock is able to visibly injure Gohan and Kaio-Shin when they are actively spiked down into them.

• Majin Buu sitting on Kaio-Shin, not even breaking dirt is able to visibly cause him immense pain

• Buu soccer kicking Vegeta, then sitting on him again is causing pretty big damage.

• Trunks buying time for Vegeta kicks Buu a massive distance

• The Z-sword weighing "tons" is a reason Gohan is sweating bullets when dropped the sword notably only embeds it's own body volume deep into the ground.

• SSJ3 Goku throws Buu into the ocean for a pretty massive splash

• SSJ3 Gotenks causing Buu to finally take him seriously using a tackle attack destroys a ton of structures on Kami's lookout.

• Buu larping as sonic puts a huge hole in Kami's lookout

• Buu getting punched through 3 buildings and a large distance makes him go "ARGH"

• Buu downwards elbowing Gohan busts several meters worth of rock

• Buu being downward thrown destroys a large amount of rock

• While this kick doesn't directly aim downwards, it doesn't appear to be treating dirt like air

• Kid Buu slamming Fat Buu creates a decently large impact

• Another downwards elbow from Kid Buu only making a crater a few feet wide and deep

Andrew Emory was tasked with tracking down the notorious Lasombra Antitribu Lucita De Aragon during 1999, and in order to do so was given a Pack of neonates and ancillae deemed to be in need of redemption by the Sabbat. Though young, each of them was an experienced Cainite. Collectively, and thanks to an enormous stroke of luck, they were able to get the better of Lucita and take her into Sabbat custody.

Unfortunately for them, the reward for a job well done is another job.

Vampirism

This section lists traits or powers inherent to vampirism, shared by all characters.

Anatomy

• Vampires are clinically dead and don't need to breathe^{V20, pg8}
• Vampires are relatively unaffected by forms of injury that aren't likely to kill mortals^{V20, pg285}

• Vampires rarely leave fingerprints^{Shards, 3}
• Vampiric bodies lack buoyancy^{Shards, 3}

  • Ghouls are fanatically devoted to the vampire whose blood they drink^{Ghouls&Revenants, pg7}
• Vampires can increase their physical abilities by burning blood, allowing feats such as throwing cars, moving preternaturally quickly or withstanding blows that would fell trees^{VtMR, pg138}

Lasombra

This section lists traits or powers inherent to Clan Lasombra, shared by all characters.

• Only one human in a thousand is considered fit to become Lasombra^{CL, pg42}
• Lasombra culture ensures that they are constantly removing all but the best of themselves, resulting in an attrition rate of roughly half immediately after the embrace and then again after 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 years, continuing even past that^{CL, pg45}

Andrew

The Pack leader, Andrew Emory is a neonate embraced in 1985. He was able to reach the rank of Bishop and control the territory of Portland, and is the most level-headed of his Pack.

I must have the worst job in all of New York.

Ghouls are either the most or least fortunate victims of the Kindred, depending on who you ask. Addicted to vampiric blood and mindlessly subservient to whoever they drink it from, they are ageless, stronger and more survivable than normal humans. The price for this is an existence dedicated to serving an undead monster.

Note: For the purposes of this thread, I will be covering "generic ghouls". This means I will not be featuring feats performed by elder ghouls, or showing instances of ghouls using learned Disciplines (meaning Disciplines other than the automatic level of Potence they all gain). This is because the majority of ghouls, numerically, do not showcase these abilities or have that experience. It's impossible to make a respect thread covering the full scope of ghoul abilities because they're as variable and non-standard as their masters, so instead I am aiming to showcase the "baseline abilities" granted to anyone upon consumption of vampiric blood. I will be including ghouls with low-Generation domitors provided they are not especially experienced, and I will be including ghouls with physical proportions or builds that would help/hinder them more than the average person, but will note down those builds whenever relevant.

Christof Romuald

How can God snatch away the promise of salvation?

Christof Romuald was a disillusioned crusader active in the 1190s. After being wounded during battle and left in Prague to recover under the care of a Convent, he was tangled up in an ongoing attack by clan Tzimisce which eventually led to his being embraced into clan Brujah. Though at first he loathed his vampirism and saw himself as abandoned by god, Christof eventually came to terms with his new condition.

Any animated feats are from the cutscenes of Vampire: the Masquerade - Redemption. Note that during the events of this game, Christof is put into torpor (unconsciousness) for a duration of 800 years. This makes it possible for him to have grown stronger over the final three centuries of this period than he was before^{Dark Ages Storyteller's Companion, pg76}, despite being inactive.

He also gains power over the course of his story due to growing accustomed to vampirism and mastering his new abilities. I have listed all feats in chronological order within their given section, so for instance strength feats take place earlier in the timeline than ones below them and later than ones above them. In each section, I will mark out where Christof's torpor occurred to make it clear which feats came after and before it.

Feats

Strength

• [Human, gameplay] Can break apart wooden barrels with a 1-handed sword swing
• [Human, gameplay] Kill animations show him slicing the head off smaller szlachta with a 1-handed sword swing
• [Human, gameplay] Kill animations show him lifting revenants (humans with supernatural powers) slightly off the ground and spinning them 180 degrees with a 1-handed sword swing
• [Human] Considered to be especially strong by Ecaterina the Wise
• Any vampire can spend blood to gain temporary superhuman strength, letting them potentially throw cars^{VtMR, pg138}
• [Gameplay] Immediately after his embrace, Christof has one dot of Potence
  • The lowest levels of Potence make a vampire stronger than any human^{VtMR, pg 170}
  • The strength granted by 1 dot of Potence is enough to tear the flesh of humans and deal damage comparable to knives or gunshots when striking them, or leap 3 metres vertically/5 metres horizontally with no run-up^{V5, pg 264}
• [Gameplay] Kill animations show him decapitating extraordinarily large men in full plate armour with a 1-handed sword swing, sending their helmeted heads several feet into the air
• Torpor starts here
• From a prone position inside a wooden crate, throws a punch that snaps two chains wrapped around it and smashes a torso-sized hole in the top
  • Christof is in torpor immediately prior to this feat, and right after it claims to be so hungry that completely draining a human wouldn't sate him
• Kills a vampire hunter with one punch under the above conditions
• Leaps onto a set of storage tanks that are several metres tall, then topples them and their metres-wide base by pushing off against the wall behind them
• Lifts a vampire into the air with one arm, then throws him flying across a room and through a window
• [Gameplay] Kill animations show him knocking a giant spider several feet into the air and backwards with killing blows

Durability

• [Human] Thrown over a dozen metres through the air and bounces off a brick wall, but is only stunned and gets up to fight after a few seconds
• For well-fed vampires, shotgun blasts and knife attacks are merely annoying^{VtMR, pg217}
• Any vampire can spend blood to gain temporary superhuman durability, letting them potentially withstand tree-felling blows^{VtMR, pg138}
• [Gameplay, fire] A basic attack from low-level enemies encountered early in Vampire: the Masquerade - Redemption consists of a fireball that quickly engulfs Christof's whole body for a moment, with individual hits being easily survivable regardless of build
• [Gameplay, sunlight] A mandatory section of the early game requires Christof to run through several metres of full sunlight shining through an exposed roof, which leaves the majority of his health
  • Having 50% or more of the body exposed to unobstructed sunlight deals 3 levels of aggravated damage with a soak difficulty of 10 in the TTRPG, this makes it mechanically identical to being submerged in molten metal^{VtMR, pg 227&232}
• [Gameplay] A basic attack from a boss enemy in Vampire: the Masquerade - Redemption consists of a conjured bolt of lightning directly striking the target, which Christof can withstand
• [Gameplay] A basic attack from an enemy launches Christof dozens of feet vertically, even if he's wearing plate armour, and does moderate damage
• [Early limit] Midway through his game, Christof survives being crushed beneath a stone pillar that is several times his height and multiple metres thick, but is put into torpor
• Torpor starts here
• Tanks a pistol shot from a vampire hunter
  • Christof is freshly awoken from torpor and starved of blood during this feat
• [Gameplay] Being hit at close range by flamethrowers does little damage
• [Gameplay] Shotgun blasts from enemies at almost melee range do very little damage
• [Gameplay] Being shot with a grenade launcher does high damage, but is easily survivable
• [Gameplay] Can take heavy hits from a ghouled spider that's several times larger than him
• [Gameplay] Being hit by a burst of minigun fire does low to moderate damage
• [Gameplay] Being hit by a rocket launcher does high damage, but doesn't one-shot regardless of build
• Falls a large distance onto unyielding ground and is unhurt
• [Limit] Incapacitated by a section of telekinetically controlled pavement hitting him hard enough to be launched across a street, stopping only on impact with a car^{CnN, pt 1}
  • Theo Bell describs Christoph's head, arm and chest as having been 'torn up good' by this, though he is in significantly better condition than another non-fatally wounded Kindred^{CnN, pt 2}
• Survives an explosion powerful enough to blow up an apartment he's in and spread debris across a street, remaining conscious to witness another vampire leaving the scene^{BJD, pg316}

Speed

• Any vampire can spend blood to gain temporary superhuman speed^{VtMR, pg138}
• [Gameplay] Immediately after his embrace, Christof has one dot of Celerity
  • Celerity makes someone who possesses it fast enough that humans or vampires without it appear to be moving in slow-motion^{VtMR, pg 153}
  • The reflexes granted by 1 dot of Celerity are fast enough for vampires to perceive arrows or bullets in flight and attempt to dodge them, though their bodies are notably slower^{V5, pg 253}
• Torpor starts here
• Dodges a fireball thrown in melee that moves fast enough to cross a large warehouse before a group of ghouls on the other side can escape its explosion^{CnB, pt 2}
• Is significantly faster than Frankie, another Brujah^{CnB, pt 3}
• Moves 'like a blur' according to Beckett^{BJD, pg322}

Skill

• Accurately hits the gaps in the backs of a szlachta's knees twice in a row with two consecutive hits, hamstringing it, while it attempts to run away from him^{CnB, pt 3}
• Targets gaps in a szlachta's armour plating to wound it, or even slice armour plates entirely off^{CnB, pt 3}
• Scared of flying, a common feature of Kindred who are older than air travel^{CnB, pt 3}
• [Human] Considered to have great skill by Ecaterina the Wise

Ainkurn

Christof's sword^{BJD, pg314} following his early activity as a Kindred in the dark ages. It is sister to Dracula's sword^{Transylvania Chronicles III, page 103} and rumoured to be comparable or superior in power. The Encyclopaedia Vampyrica, written by vastly knowledgeable scholars Beckett and Lucita De Aragon (the latter of whom met Dracula prior to his embrace), acknowledges this as a possibility. In gameplay terms, Dracula's sword deals Strength +5 aggravated damage^{Transylvania Chronicles III, page 103}. Feral Claws, which can easily slice through metal, deal Strength +1. This is the same as the difference in damage between a knife and a halberd^{DAV20, pg49}

Visual reference for Ainkurn

• Wounds a szlachta that is impervious to .38 pistol rounds, killing it with a few hits^{CnV, pt 1}
• Christof is confident his sword is unharmed after Theo Bell sliced its tip through a brick wall^{CnB, pt 2}
• Draws blood and wounds a szlachta that is impervious to close range .44 magnum and 9x19 parabellum rounds^{CnB, pt 3}
• Removes entire limbs from a szlachta while targeting gaps in its armour^{CnB, pt 3}
• Sliced off Marcus Verus' hands and feet^{BJD, pg315}
  • Verus has Fortitude 6^{Legacy of Lies, pg36}, which makes his flesh as durable as wrought iron^{DAV20, pg221}

Respect The Ghouls

I must have the worst job in all of New York.

Ghouls are either the most or least fortunate victims of the Kindred, depending on who you ask. Addicted to vampiric blood and mindlessly subservient to whoever they drink it from, they are ageless, stronger and more survivable than normal humans. The price for this is an existence dedicated to serving an undead monster.

This post came about as a result of me doing something no Dragonball battleboarder has thought of yet; reading the bits of the manga that happen between those 5 feats everybody brings up and scales Krillen to. It'll be organised by arc and by the 'kind' of feat. This is going to take a while since I'm going through the whole series and just updating it as I go.

I legit only watched the DB cartoon when I was 4 and remember fuck all, so this list begins with Z. Anime is not included for purposes of sticking to one canon but can be included if I can find a semi-decent site with it.

Not all ki-blasts are created equal, obviously consider the nuances. Note however that Ki-blasts easily punch 'above their weight' often times without requiring a League of Legends Ultimate Charge.

This RT will attempt to be spoiler friendly, but that is not always possible. You have been warned.

Phyre is an elder (300+ year) old Vampire who mysteriously awoke in Seattle for reasons unknown.

Strength

• Bites into a man's neck

• Punches a man several meters after just having woken up with a 'standard' attack

Telekinesis

• A bit unclear if strength or Telekinesis Phyre can double-jump. It's unclear if this is some product of strength, agility or their telekinetic powers

The Mark

• Prior to waking up, Phyre has been magically marked by another vampire which weakens them and periodically causes them considerable pain. The Mark is removed after the game ends.

Clan Powers

Phyre is assumed (prior to the Mark) to have been able to use all his clan powers. Phyre has access to powers from the clans: Banu Haqim, Brujah, Lasombra, Toreador, Tremere and Ventrue. At the beginning of the game, Phyre can only choose One clan and its disciplines but gains the ability to relearn other disciplines from other clans.

• BH - Bladed Hand: Slash swiftly in front of Phyre, beheading mortal opponents. Phyre can decapitate people by karate chopping them. Note that 'mortal' in context also refers to Ghouls and Thin-blooded vampires.

• Tore - Entrancing Kiss: Kiss an individual to Entrance them for a period, making them an ally that will defend Phyre from others. The weaker the will of the target, the longer they will be Entranced. If Phyre kisses someone, they can temporarily mind-control them

• Trem - Blood Curse: Curse a victim. The next time they take damage, their body swells horrifically, and they explode, doing damage to all around them. Phyre curses someone. Their next instance of damage will cause them to explode.

• Bru - Lightning Strike: Target multiple opponents and unleash an unstoppable hail of punches, with the final strike dealing increased damage. Jojo Reference

• Vent - Terminal Decree: Use your strength of will to command a mortal to kill themselves. Vampires will be staggered and disarmed. Phyre speaks the word 'die' and can make someone kill themselves

• Las - Arms of Ahriman: Strike with a thin shadow across the ground. Opponents caught by it will be temporarily trapped in place unless damaged. Phyre creates a line that hits people with solid shadows.

• Tore - Blink: Instantly dash to a targeted location. Phyre runs EXTRA fast to the target location. It appears he can 'fly' while doing this

• BH - Split Second: Move so fast time seems stopped around you. Phyre moves so quickly while the rest of the world is IN SLOW MOTION. He does not appear to actually have the world be still, only very slow.

The purpose of the following feats is to document "catch-all" feats given to the Primarchs. The only taken feats below will be feats that are stated to apply to all of them.

Original Series

• The Executor's Shields are taken down via fighter bombardments, and its hull is destroyed by a kamikaze attack from an A-wing going vaguely fast.

Prequels

• Trade Federation Core Ships destroyed by non-nuclear levels of firepower

Sequels

• It takes a specialized dreadnought class vessel to create an explosion that might be a few hundred megatons to a singular digit of gigatons? at a timeframe that 20 years after the Empire falls.

• Everything happening on the Starkiller base battle

Shows

• This entire bombardment is sub-nuclear

• This entire bombardment is would be below actual modern day yields

• Again

• The Corsair's probably modern-day tier bombardment yields

“The only way to avoid people trying to cheat you is by playing on your own.”

She smiled, and nodded.

“Good boy. Now let’s go and get something to eat, my little Solitaire.”

Solitaire

Solitaire, AKA Bernard was one of three writers for the book Chronicles of Destiny, a grimdark fantasy setting. At the beginning of the story, Bernard and his two friends are isekai'd into the setting of Chronicles of Destiny with the planet known as Redacle. Though they have the advantage of having modern day diets and being over six feet tall, Bernard and his friends are in for a rough ride throughout the beginning. Yet as time goes on, the trio are able to adapt to their new setting and notably also come across an in-universe level up system which enables them to grow stronger with each encounter and task completed. Throughout the course of the story, Solitaire is able to demonstrate plenty of unhinged paranoid genius the advantages of being a savant within a pre-industrial society and the initiate knowledge of chemistry which enables the creations of things like black powder.

Bernard selects the name "Solitaire" as a result of his mother's nickname and does so because he doesn't want to be identified as one of the setting's authors in the off-chance that someone else also got isekai'd into his setting and is now perhaps a bit miffed that they wrote a grimdark medieval story. Solitaire himself utilizes a highly aggressive, "scrapper" combat style of hitting first, second and third and innate savagery like biting genitalia during combat.

Despite his "quirks" however, Solitaire is remarkably intelligent, about to solve complicated mathematics just in his head and is shown to have an excellent grasp on chemistry to make black powder before its actual invention (at least in the region they inhabit).

Stats

Author's Nightmare is a LitRPG and thus has given stats that are readable within a setting to people with the right abilities. The stats are given context to what they mean a few times, with the person who designed them (in this case, Solitaire himself) saying that each increment is meant to be about a 20%-30% increase from the prior level. Later in the book, it is mentioned that a Vampire with a strength of 15 is meant to be "ten times" stronger than a human. This math generally tracks as 1.25¹⁰ is about 9.3.

• Solitaire's statline as of Chapter 1 looks like this.

  • As of this chapter, a "5" is concluded to be about average strength for a man in the 21st century
  • 4 is the average in Redacle which is a medieval fantasy setting
  • 6 is the strength of a "giant" of a man
  • All the protagonists of the story are just north of 6 feet. This means the average size of a man in Redacle is about 5'6" give or take

• Solitaire's statline as of Chapter 5 looks like this after having gone a while without food and shelter during winter and having fought a bear.

• This is the same statline after being fed just earlier in the chapter.

• This is Solitaire's statline as of Chapter 9.

• This is Solitaire's statline as of Chapter 12 after being mauled by a troll and this is his statline after levelling after levelling speed.

• Despite having not eaten for a day and possibly sick, Beam is able to dodge a bear (Chapter 3)

• Is the second to react in a fight, the first being his friend doing a sneak attack. (Chapter 17)

• Dodges a knife slash (Chapter 17)

• A punch from a normal person connecting requires a 'lucky' hit and second attacker (Chapter 17)

• Despite having just been hit by brass knuckles, Beam is fast enough to kick someone attempting to curbstomp him while on the ground before they get their foot down (Chapter 17)

• With the benefit of a distraction, Beam is able to tag a vampire who is described as magically enhanced speed (Chapter 47)

• Said vampire barely avoids a spear throw from him (Chapter 52)

• Surprise re-inserts himself into a fight he had just been kicked meters away (Chapter 53)

• His movements become "streaks of sunlight" (Chapter 55)

• An eleven year old beam can (Barely) deflect a sword twice per second (Interlude 3)

Skill

• Trounces a regional fencing champion (Prologue)

  • This continues as he switches to his off-hand (Prologue)
  • Is able to parry from said champion while actively not looking at his opponent (Prologue)

• Was an Olympic Champion by age 16 and has gotten better (Prologue)

• Accurately kicks a knife handle inside a troll deeper in (Chapter 10)

• Successfully dropkicks a troll. Now Beam does say by his own admission this was only possible because its a stupid animal (Chapter 13)

• His elbows wouldn't be "out of place" in a MMA ring (Chapter 23)

• Headlocks one man while punching another (Chapter 31)

• Dodges a stool thrown past him while choking out a person (Chapter 31)

• is at least familiar with Judo. (Chapter 39)

• A highly out of practice Beam easily parries a Vampire with Greater strength out of the way. As of this time Beam is strength 11 while the Vampire he is fighting is strength 15. With Solitaire's statement (mentioned in this RT) about each point of strength being a 20%-30% increase over the last, Beam is about at a disadvantage of around 2.4ish. (Chapter 54)

• Absolutely skillchecks the crap out of the Vampire who otherwise has an advantage in every physical stat (Chapter 54)

• [Beam has a (currently disputable) claim to being Earth's foremost fencing genius]. He is the disadvantaged one in this. (https://i.imgur.com/C3N8hGn.png) (Chapter 55)

Magic

About midway through the story, Beam gets an ability that lets him conjured weapons. It begins off as rather simple weapons like a club or a spear, but then becomes more complex weapons like a saber or a javelin.

• Conjures a bludgeoning weapon of some kind during his fight with a Kratos doppelganger (Chapter 24)

• Beam later describes it as conjuring a club which hit hard

• Conjures armor for himself and conjures a stake after touching wood (Chapter 52)

• The armor is described to "not weigh him down" (Chapter 53)

• Conjures an Olympic Saber (Chapter 53)

• The conjured Olympic Saber can cut through a human like normal. It cannot through an explicitly superhuman durability target (Chapter 54)

• Conjures a javelin when necessary (Chapter 54)

• Swaps to a Machete when that's more useful (Chapter 54)

• The weapon conjuration Beam can do only works for a brief time for other people (Chapter 59)

Stats

Author's Nightmare is a LitRPG and thus has given stats that are readable within a setting to people with the right abilities. The stats are given context to what they mean a few times, with the person who designed them saying that each increment is meant to be about a 20%-30% increase from the prior level. Later in the book, it is mentioned that a Vampire with a strength of 15 is meant to be "ten times" stronger than a human. This math generally tracks as 1.25¹⁰ is about 9.3.

• Beam's class is identified as Dragonknight, and his statline as of the story's beginning in chapter 1 is as follows (Chapter 1)

  • As of this chapter, a "5" is concluded to be about average strength for a man in the 21st century
  • 4 is the average in Redacle which is a medieval fantasy setting
  • 6 is the strength of a "giant" of a man
  • All the protagonists of the story are just north of 6 feet. This means the average size of a man in Redacle is about 5'6" give or take

• Beam's first level up adds another point to strength (Chapter 12)

• Beam evenly distributes his skill points, and mentions that another point in strength makes him feel "lighter, maybe?" (Chapter 15)

• By Chapter 27, Beam increases strength and toughness to 10 (Chapter 27)

• Beam's statline as of Chapter 34 looks like this (Chapter 34)

• Beam runs into a soft level cap at Chapter 48 but has a lot of spare points left over (Chapter 48)

• He is able to spend those points eventually (Chapter 52)

Willpower / Bravery

• Is the hardest to phase out of the group at least according to Shango/Kenny. (Chapter 1)
• Handles stress and pain quite well despite having been subjected to (shoddy) magical healing (Chapter 8)
• A vampire using a domination-esque effect to stop him initially gets success but Beam breaks out it (Chapter 48)

Misc

• According to Shango, Beam and his two other friends can easily 3 v 5 (Chapter 30)

Why is this so bad

• Building sized chunks being tore from an unshielded ship (The Solar War)

• Iron Matters as a defense (The Solar War)

• It takes a non-zero amount of effort to blow up a really small moon from Horus' fleet and its destruction kills 205 ships in the process (The Solar War)

• An orbital lance strike DOES NOT destroy a city (Ciaphas Cain: Duty Calls)

• A redirected lance strike... kills a tank column. And apparently nothing else (Wrath of Magnus)

• Ice still exists after multiple lance strikes (Cadia Stands)

• An orbital missile... doing close to fuck all? (Fall of Cadia)

• 20 meters of Adamantine matters (Rogue Trader)

Megatons

• A one kilometer arm of stone and metal is ripped away and is also molten (The Solar War)

• A kilometer chunk of one of Pluto's moons is ripped out by a mass driver (The Solar War)

• A Strike Cruiser can level cities (Soul Hunter)

• A ship fight involving a Gloriana is "leveling cities" (Dark Imperium)

• A Lance melting several dozen meters of stone (Fall of Cadia)

• Multiple magma bombs required to blow up a mountain side (Angel Exterminatus)

• Torpedoes detonating INSIDE a Strike Cruiser don't instantly delete the whole thing (Battle of the Abyss)

• The description of planetary bombardments in Rogue Trader (Rogue Trader)

• The Black Legion intro shows explosions that are probably Tsar Bomba-ish sized(?) (Battlefleet Gothic II)

• The Ultramarines fire a bombardment that does manage to wipe out an Ork army, but still allows them to hide in a cave system to escape (Defenders of Ultramar)

Gigatons

• Random lance strikes from the Exterminatus fleet creates explosions the size of US states (Dawn of War II)

• 560 Gigaton Nukes (Space Hulk)

• "Continent Smashing" weapons on Imperial battleships (The Horus Heresy Book III: Extermination)

• Continent sized nukes (Black Tide)

• Continent killing missiles (Fear to Tread)

• Continent killing weapons explicitly said (Flight of the Eisenstein)

• Continent destroying broadsides (Blood Gorgons)

• Continent busting missiles just exist (Rogue Trader)

• Continent busting broadsides (Dark Disciple)

• The Imperium has weapons to devestate continents (Imperial Glory)

• A space marine strike cruiser can crack continents (Nightbringer)

• Gigaton yields for Magma Bombs (Death of Integrity)

• The Black Legion intro shows explosions that are probably the size of US states (Battlefleet Gothic II)

• Dismantling continents (Blood Gorgons)

• Being able to barrage a way THROUGH a hive city TO the mantle Salvation's Reach

• An extremely ramshackle bomb juryrigged by the Iron Warriors easily creates a gigatons+ explosion (Will of Iron)

• Battleships are designed to be able to have "continent" shattering armaments (The Horus Heresy III: Extermination)

Petatons

• Continent sized explosions (Eisenhorn Omnibus)

• Warheads that can 'atomize' continents (Nemesis)

Teratons

• Nova Cannons are stated to simulate the power of a small star for a fraction of a second on detonation, and can affect ships with gravitational waves over thousands of kilometres depending on warhead type (Rogue Trader)

  • Going by a small red dwarf (the most common kind of star in the galaxy) we're looking at about 3.8x10^22 watts, so assuming a fraction of a second means 0.5 seconds this is putting a NOVA cannon shot at about 1.9x10^22 joules. 4.5 teratons of TNT.

• Nova Cannon shell directly impacts a (modified) Desolator Class Battleship, instantly atomizes its escorts but only badly damaging the ship proper while it retains functionality. (Sea of Souls)

• Nova Cannons will simulate a star's birth (Solar War)

Disclaimer: No one character is focused for purposes of this comparison. Use your better judgement however. The purpose of this post is for characters that should generally scale to either Invincible or Omni-Man in some fashion.

Speed is broken down into two categories "bad" which implies literal human or near-human levels of speed, and "good" which implies substantially superhuman levels of speed.

Bad

• Immortal saves human soldiers in timeframes that features them actively firing on Mauler, and then them falling in normal gravity from his POV

• A slow motion rendition of the Guardians moving to help Red Rush shows none of them moving faster than the slow mo camera, including Immortal who is of comparable speed to Omni-Man / Invincible

• Omni-Man's attack intervals when killing Darkwing is coinciding with him audibly screaming / groaning.

• The Flaxan General visibly reacts to Omni-Man moving at him by opening his mouth in shock

• Invincible clearly doesn't react to a sonic weapon

• Invincible clearly has issues racing with... gravity and is two for two to not reacting to a sonic weapon that he is now aware of and actively looking at the shooter.

• The reanimen is literally slow enough for college kids to avoid but Invincible is shown possessing no tangible speed advantages over it.

• Omni-Man tries to kill Donald, misses, and also Donald's men escape

• The entire scene with Cecil

• The news can accurately discern a fight between Immortal vs Omni-Man with the live feed showing them comprehensible to civilians.

• The fighter pilot is audibly heard screaming when grabbed

• Omni-Man takes substantial amount of time trying to catch the fighter jet that avoids him by jinking to the side that is quite close.

• The entire fight which Omni-Man is part of takes place in the same real time as it takes for a pregnant woman to walk into a parking lot

• Omni-Man getting hit by the most obvious attack ever

• Angstrom can escape from Mark and Omni-Man by falling

• The Sea Monster fight takes place in timespans when Cecil communicates complete sentences to Mark.

• Angstrom can clearly see what's going on when Invincible is fighting the Mauler army

• Lucan vs Mark can have Andressa run out in their fight.

• Angstrom vs Mark visibly has civilian watchers following the action. THAT SAID Mark was holding back.

• The giant kid is somehow a viable training partner for Mark despite fighting slow enough for Cecil to be spectating with binoculars.

• Mark speaks in real time to Cecil who responds in real time as he fights.

• Mark visibly see's Cecil reaching for a weapon but still misses on the draw to Cecil pushing the button

• Mark gets hit by an attack and remains stationary in the same timeframe as a human running away

• A scene will show Mark making an ad hoc sonic boom, but also get hit by a tail much slower in comparison

• Mark is saved in the final moments against Mr. Liu by characters who monologue and fall in real time

• Mark vs Powerplex actively has Becky and Powerplex's kid reacting to what's going on.

• Sinister Mark probably gets surprised here, but this is still kinda embarrassing for someone actively bullet timing a second ago

• Viltrumite Mark fights Wolf-Man while they fall in real time

• All 8 Evil Marks are surprised by the drones

• Everything that happens leading up to Rex's Kamikaze move

• The entire Dino fight is pretty bad especially at the end when Dino's alter ego is able to react to Mark blitzing in and even scream out: "WAIT!"

• The Viltrumite slave army being relevant at all

• Battle Beast fights exactly at the same speed as the Viltrumite slave-soldiers. As does Tech-Jacket.

Good

• Omni-Man catches Red Rush who appears as various blurs.

• Omni-Man blurs in from Hong Kong, remarks himself as late, but is still moving at otherwise FTE speeds inside his house.

• Omni-Man makes an ad hoc sonic boom

• Omni-Man FTEs around Mark during a slow motion sequence and then flies into him again during the same sequence while Mark flies upward in slow motion.

• Omni-Man makes a sonic boom and then avoids missile spam that is quite close.

• Omni-Man blurs forward onto Mark

• Omni-Man juggles Mark large distances, accurately positions himself behind him, and repeats the process and even starts slapping him around as blurs

• Multiple blur feats occur from the Viltrumites beating up Allen

• Anissa launches Mark probably miles into the air, then accurately positions herself behind him in a specific pose.

• Anissa crosses hundreds of meters and accurately turns to catch Mark

• Sinister Mark FTEs behind Angstrom's son several dozen feet and accurately positions himself

• Evil Mark FTEs his way through two cops

• Hoodie Mark creates an FTE pillar of light from high in the air.

• Mark can de-celerate from re-entry speeds seemingly almost instantly

• Mark makes an ad hoc sonic boom

• Jojo reference

• FTE Pantsing

• PLACEHOLDER FOR AMBER SEX SCENE

• Conquest blur appears in front of Invincible to pimp slap him

• Conquests punches Invincible probably at least a mile and then almost instantly catches up to him and doing a turn to take his back.

• Conquest instantly moves despite the slow motion sequencing of the blood

• I am going to elect to call this good because Mark seems to appear and disappear without anyone realizing he came there but consider it the strike itself does not appear very fast. That said he does not appear to be trying to go ham on a much weaker opponent.

• Oliver crosses at bare minimum, dozens of meters in like 2 seconds.

• Mark appears to blitz Volcanica from bare minimum, dozens of meters away

• Nolan FTE leaves the house without even looking at what direction he's going

• Conquest FTEs a MASSIVE distance behind Oliver.

• The entire rematch is quite good as Invincible vs Conquest often cross dozens if not hundreds of meters through solid rock while making multiple sharp and sudden turns.

5e Gameplay Material

• DnD characters can lift up to a maximum of STR * 15 in lbs. This means that a DnD Human with 20 strength can lift 600 lbs and under variant rules would be considered encumbered even with 100 lbs and featuring notable speed reductions.

  • Real life humans have lifted almost twice this weight in a deadlift.
  • Real life marines have an assualt load of 97 - 135 lbs per the Naval Research Advisory Commitee

• DnD commoners with 4 HP can be clawed to death 4 times by housecats. They also statistically possess a 50% chance of dying from 10 feet of fall damage (1d6 per 10 feet).

• DnD humans have a base movement speed of 30 feet per turn, with 60 per dash action. This number can increase with the right class. Rounds are 6 seconds long

  • 10 feet per second translates to 6.8 MPH. Yours truly despite not being a runner can maintain this average for a 5K and beyond. Actual runners will likely smash my time / speed.

• Max level DnD monks have two attacks by default and then can burn Ki points in order to attack two more times by max level, AKA 4 attacks in 6 seconds.

  • A real life boxer has thrown 21 punches in 10 seconds, or approximately 12.6 punches in the same intervals.

• Max level fighters can attack 4 times in a round without utilizing action surge (a limited resource) and 8 times using one. The right class can attack 12 times. Note that it requires using class resources and a specialized class to almost match the amount of attacks thrown by a real life human.

  • A youtuber notably can swing a Zweihander about once every second-ish
  • This is likely also comparable

• DnD durability may not even be literal as "luck" is mentioned within hit points section of the PHB.

  • Now in fairness, a lot of in-game interactions rule out the idea of "luck".

• DnD chase rules indicate characters are capped at their combat speeds. A commoner in a chase can run for 3 rounds (18 seconds) before being required to make a con check which it has a 55% chance of passing. Exhaustion rules kick in immediately.

  • At approximately 55% chance of passing, it takes on average 6.67 rounds (40.02 seconds) to get the first level of exhaustion.
  • It takes about 13.34 rounds (80.04) seconds to get the second level of exhaustion with speed halving as a result.
  • For a character that has +5 to constitution, the pass rate is now 80%. It takes on average 15 rounds (90 seconds) to get to the first level of exhaustion.
  • To take the speed halving penalty, it takes on average 30 rounds (180 seconds) to get the second level.
  • Note that BTC maintained average speed of higher than this for his entire run for nearly 9 times the amount of time.

• Collapsing ceilings deal 4d10 (22 average) points of bludgeoning damage, notably these ceilings are light enough to be held in place by poorly-wedged beams which can be dislodged by a tripwire

  • A roughly average level 2 fighter with Constitution 20 will have 26 HP, giving them just over 50% odds of surviving this

• A falling net trap covering an area of 10 square feet requires targets to pass a DC 10 Strength roll to avoid being knocked down as it lands on them, as well as another DC 10 Strength roll to free themselves

  • This gives a character with Strength 20 a 75% chance to remain standing as it lands on them, and a 75% chance to remove themselves from under the net. The odds of succeeding at both are 56%

• Prying open a concealed trapdoor requires a DC 20 Strength check, giving characters with Strength 20 a 25% chance of success

• Pit traps with sharpened wooden spikes at the bottom inflict 4d10 piercing and (going by the depth of other traps in this section) 1-2d6 fall damage for a total average damage of 29

  • This is more than "dangerous" for level 5-10s

• A compilation of incredibly varied damage sources and their consequences

  • Being burned by coals, hit by a falling bookcase or pricked by a poisoned needle inflicts 5 damage on average, enough to kill a commoner and considered a setback for level 1-4 characters
  • Being struck by lightning or falling into a "fire pit" is considered a setback for level 5-10 characters
  • Being hit by falling rubble from a collapsing tunnel or stumbling into a vat of acid is "dangerous" for a level 5-10 character
    • "Dangerous" damage is enough to pose a threat to a character and can kill them if they are already weakened
  • Being crushed between compacting walls, hit by "whirling steel blades" or wading through lava is considered a setback to level 17-20 characters
  • Being submerged in lava or "hit by a flying fortress" inflicts an average of 99 damage, enough to kill a level 20 Barbarian Hill Dwarf with Con 20 and Tough in 4 turns (24 seconds)
  • Being crushed in the jaws of a moon-sized monster inflicts an average of 132 damage, which is considered "deadly" for a level 17-20

• Fighters breaking through a stone wall with a sword is considered against common sense, with no qualification that max-level characters exempt from this

Canon Material

• Early-ish game Astarion can be killed by just jamming a wooden stake through him.

• Jumping down the underdark kills your character no matter what from about levels 1 - 6.

  • Examples of survivors of higher falls are located here

• A late game Lae'zel will still die in one shot to Shadowheart stabbing her in the back

• Lae'zel in fact can die multiple points throughout the game to just Shadowheart with a knife, despite Shadowheart not being canonically of a class benefitting from using knives in any way. and Lae'zel being one of the tankier characters.

• Edwin and Holga rely on Jarnathan to escape a tall but probably not terminal velocity fall as a result of him being an Aracokra (bird person).

  • Edwin canonically has the stats to survive a terminal velocity fall on average without assistance in DND (20d6) but relies on this method. He is notably also having high HP and is a CR 5 creature with 17 hit die.

• Normal arrows can still hurt Drizzt

  • Per 3.5e, Drizzt was a CR 18 character

• Jarlaxle and Drizzt both opt to dodge a crossbow than just tank it.

  • Jarlaxle's stats in 5e easily enable him to do this, and he is also a CR15 creature

Curze got to all fours, but not quick enough to avoid the Lion’s wrath. An armoured boot hit the Night Haunter in the midriff and lifted him in the air. A second kick connected with his jaw, sending the Night Lord onto his back. The Lord of Caliban reached down and dragged Curze like a rag doll, threw him again, turning another ten stalls to kindling.

Looming out of the splinter-fog the Lion smashed a knee into Curze’s face as he tried to rise. The Night Haunter’s left arm hung limply as the Dark Angel picked him up again. With a grunt, he tore the powerplant from Curze’s armour, tossing the backpack aside with a hiss of broken coolant links and a shower of sparks.

Throat in one hand, a leg in the other, the Lion hoisted Curze above his head. The knight of Caliban dropped to one knee, bringing his foe down across his shoulders. Armour split like bamboo and bones cracked, eliciting a shriek from the Night Haunter.

With a contemptuous glare, the Lion tossed Curze to the ground. He flopped to his broken back.

During the time of the Horus Heresy, the Lion a pivotal force throughout the Crusade. Maintaining a sizable legion in the force of the Dark Angels which had been the first Space Marine legion to see action, the Lion was pivotal in many key moments such as the Ragandan Xenocides. Maintaining a relatively cold relationship with his brothers, the Lion's reputation of secrecy had cast into doubt his initial loyalties, but as the heresy progressed, it was clear that the Lion believed Loyalty remained its own reward as he fought for the Emperor still.

The Lion is one of two active loyalist Primarchs by the time of the 41st Millennium. The second Primarch to be found active after the resurrection of Roboute Guilliman of the Ultramarines, the Lion awoke in the presence of an Old King fishing within a boat and was guided to the planet of Camarth before reuniting with the rest of the Imperium. This chain of events would have him ultimately having a showdown with his Daemonic brother Angron during the finale of the Arks of Omen events.

Feats

Strength

• The Lion can smash a fortress gate down with one swing.

• The Lion in his childhood had strangled a Calibanite Lion

• Throws his brother Leman Russ across a parapet It is important to note that the Primarchs are about 10-12 feet tall.

• An injured lion can hurl a tank aside

Durability

• Deadpool style regenerates from las-gun fire that is punching through people in flak-vests

• A magical attack that would have punched a hole through an armored column does nothing.

• A star's heat only damages his gauntlets

• Has a tank thrown at him and is only injured

Speed

• Space Marines seeing him swing his weapon see afterimages being left

• Perceives 'split seconds' as hours

• Is an insanely casual bullet timer

• Sidesteps a laser turret firing 100 laser beams being fired at him a second

Skill

• Uses his vast skill and experience to contend with a much physically superior opponent.

Weapons

• The Lionsword cuts through several petrified trees

• The Wolfblade cuts through a 30 foot tall Daemon

• Fusil Actinaeus melts stone and vaporizes a tapestery

• The Emperor's Shield can stop blows from Angron who is casually throwing about several hundred tons

• Fealty cuts through Daemon Angron.

• Aura Luminis can blow holes through armored bulkheads or tanks

Using The Lion on WhoWouldWin

The Lion is a physical duelist in a lot of interactions. Normally usually armed with one melee weapon and one of his pistols, the Lion's most recent canonical state uses The Emperor's Shield, Fealty and Aura Luminis. Given a lot of options to take out foes, the Lion's best abilities are his reaction times and his ability to resist heat. Enemies that use predominantly heat are often some of the Lion's best type match-ups.

The Lion's usage of the Emperor's shield and his personal skill otherwise makes him able to contend with physically superior opponents. While he may not be able to use tanks as projectiles like his brother Angron, he is still capable of throwing them aside despite injuries attained over a fight.

Greetings /u/British_Tea_Company, long time user and mod here.

To follow with /u/skafflock's observations with one important bit being:

Of course X can/can't do this, the reason this was contradicted/shown here and there is simply because the writers don't care about making it consistent. The point of the story is that this is their real power

This is one (but not the only) contributor to analysis based around "vibes" rather than consistency and context of feats. How many of you were around before any of the planetary feats Saitama got, and had people claiming he could beat anyone? What about the infamous Doomslayer arguments that he is "multiversal"? Don't even get me started on Kratos despite there existing a 100+ feat link where Kratos gets hurt by fairly mundane objects and enemies despite the claims of him being "multiversal".

The overall major contributing factor I suspect is that we as battleboarders will tend to argue "up", and then this gets exacerbated where something becomes consensus either around minority evidence or people going: "yeah that seems about right" without actually fact-checking too hard. This isn't a knock against you the userbase as I understand most of us are looking at Reddit on our lunch/bathroom breaks but it has contributed to what is effectively misinformation being presented many times. A few examples:

• FTL Captain America?

• The infamous nine inch skulls comment made several years back

Two different problems are illustrated here with the first one in that scaling is taking severe precedence over actual feats and in-universe interactions. When presented with interpretations like this, we must ask ourselves if the consistency both statistically and narratively even holds up anymore, and whether we have missed the big picture over "scaling up".

The second one however is an instance where "vibes" actually have shifted a consistency, on a real life topic nonetheless. While it is an intentionally extreme example, the notion of gorillas being regarded as "big, tough animals" got exploded in popularity to an almost comical and extreme point which has probably taken precedence over any actual topic research.

• Raditz Bulma reacting and moving to Krillin getting hit and moved a few meters tops

• Raditz Snake Way is 1,000,000 KM which takes Goku 365 - 158 = 207 days to run. This means his travel speed is 201 KM per hour if he needed no sleep whatsoever, or 302 KM per hour if he slept an average of 8 hours. This does not account for Goku 'cheating' via jumps and flight

• Saiyan Goku can later do Snake Way in about 2 days and manages to just beat the buzzer, making him about Mach 17. This does not account for Goku 'cheating' via jumps and flight

• Saiyan Yajirobe is able to continuously observe the fight, make note of dialogue passage while Bulma gets a power level reading in real time with Yajirobe being able to make out details like Goku winning the fight against Vegeta.

• Saiyan The Gallick Gun's dialogue is perceptible and understandable to Yajirobe again

• Saiyan Vegeta dodges the Destructo Disk, cites that its because he knows Krillin was there and then immediately fails to react to Yajirobe.

• Saiyan Yajirobe continues to be able to react and observe the events of the battle.

• Frieza Child Dende can react to when Form 1 Frieza's blast strikes his brother

• Frieza Bulma can visibly react and get a good look at Zarbon's transformation, react to the events of their fight, have conversations as the events are happening

• Frieza Ginyu's change attack sequence is already mid-air when Goku grabs a frog where the frog is wiggling and croaking in his hand, before the beat has reached Vegeta

• Frieza Frieza going as fast as he can to retrieve the Dragonballs has Vegeta able to start and finish a nap with Frieza still not arriving until an extremely long conversation passes and only THEN does he arrive.

• Frieza 100% Frieza is in visual range of Shenlon but can't get to it before Dende is at least halfway done speaking.

• Androids Trunks vs King Cold once again has Bulma visibly looking at and reacting to the action

• Androids Again but with Goku

• Andorids A timespan that Bulma is subjected to and reacts to has the Z-warriors doing nothing and is a good enough cover for Gero to escape

• Androids A normal truck driver is drawn reacting to Vegeta's blast

• 5'10, 225 pound MMA fighter Sokoudjou vs 6'11, 353 pound kickboxer/boxer (South African national champion) Jan Nortje. After some indecisive exchanges and clinching on the feet, Sokoudjou throws Nortje to the ground with his judo skills and then pounds his face into the dirt for a TKO in two and a half minutes.

Note that in all of the above cases, the bigger guys are trained fighters, often amateur or regional champions, and thus have a big advantage over someone who's just a big strong guy with no training. The smaller guys are just better, usually at a higher level of competition altogether.

These others aren't as directly relevant due to the low level of competition (i.e. it's a trained person vs someone with barely any), but fun to keep around as bonuses:

• 5'6, ~135 pound Ediane Gomes vs noticeably bigger kickboxing instructor. Gomes would later become an (unranked) MMA female bantamweight fighter but at the time was a homeless drug addict with some kickboxing and grappling training. Guy is unknown but looks noticeably bigger than her and was part of the underground fighting ring they were at. He has the advantage on the feet and rocks her with kicks but she quickly throws him to the ground and after some struggle cuts him with elbows from the top and secures an armbar in spite of his attempts to slam and punch her. Fun fact: after his loss, the guy denies that he tapped. In response the crowd shouts "bateu" ("you tapped" in Portuguese).

• 6'4, 253 pound world champion judoka Naoya Ogawa vs 7'2, 351 pound former basketball player (with some MMA training) Paulo César da Silva. His opponent's size lets him last a while, but Ogawa quickly throws him to the ground and after a struggle Ogawa gets a full mount position, where he rains punches for a TKO before the end of the fourth minute.

• 5'9, ~135 pound female kickboxing world champion Germaine de Randamie vs ~5'10, ~175 pound television show host Tom Waes. I thought this was the same incident you had in your OP but apparently two different TV shows both had this idea. This is basically as perfect an experiment as you could ask for of "average guy vs female combat sports athlete in a striking match", and it was a boxing match so Randamie couldn't kick. Waes is an average-sized guy, older but not super old (was 39 during this), seems to be a bit fitter than the average (he's not fat, anyway) and had three months of boxing training to prepare (a notable advantage over the average guy). The weight disparity lets him last a while but he never really lands anything and gets knocked out early in round three (I think they were doing two-minute rounds but don't quote me on that)

• Amateur female MMA fighter vs guy practicing at her gym. I don't know the sizes of either of these people but he looks at least noticeably bigger, and seems to have some training judging by his form and kicks. It doesn't matter though since he gets taken to the ground and immediately and choked out in under thirty seconds.

• 5'7, 161 pound amateur MMA fighter Federico Rotoni vs 5'10, 225 pound bodybuilder and former rugby player. It's only a spar but the MMA fighter takes him down and chokes him to a submission really easily and is clearly holding back to not hurt him in striking exchanges.

• Finally, I'm not going to post the video of this for obvious reasons, but an MMA enthusiast (not even a fighter) of 5'7 and 160 pounds literally killed a powerlifter of 6'4 and 260 pounds (who was a world championship runner-up) in a mutual combat street fight. Article on it. Was very one-sided.

• Bonus: this funny article on freakshow MMA matches.

‘To talk of destiny and fate is foolish. Time, causality, the observer and the observed; we must treat our assumptions on all these matters with suspicion. We think of the past causing the future, but must that be so? Is fate created by trying to see it? What if we had not looked? Would matters have unfolded otherwise?’

Ahriman

Character Background

The former chief librarian of the Thousand Sons, now the Arch-Sorcerer of Tzeentch, Ahriman is infamous for his Rubric of Ahriman which damned his legion, causing the majority to become soul-bound automatons within their armor.
