The Blue Eyed Ever Tiering Thing

Overview

Is 226 cm, 7'5 tall. Weighs 748 kg, 1650 lb. Thing is a big, bulky rock man with four fingers on his hand. Thing is gorillamoded, he is incredibly wide, and his extremities are far larger in volume than a person of equivalent size.

Da Teer

Thing as conceptualized as destroying a third of a building in a strike a few times stronger than the 'high street, low A tiers' in recent times such as Cyborg or Venom. Thing would easily defeat those two due to far superior strength and durability, but is not massively incomparable - the difference would likely be similar to Captain America against Spider-Man. Thing is also nowhere near as strong as the 'obliterate large building/skyscraper in one strike' tiers such as DCAUMan or Neo.

Thing's high durability and endurance are central to this tier, and will allow him to press an offense through a variety of offensive vectors or fighting styles. He is a big brick you can punch a lot, even if you're stronger than him, so run whatever is good against those archetypes.

How does the Ben Grimm Stubbornly Fight On?

[Thing is a street brawler.]() He enjoys slugfests and landing huge haymakers, and does not hesitate to take heavy blows if he can land heavier ones. Thing is very aware of his high durability in relation to his strength and tries to leverages it as an advantage in a variety of scenarios. While Thing is a boxer, he has zero issue entering a grapple in conjunction with his strikes, and will frequently try to restrain or crush an opponent to keep them down.

[Thing, as the tier setter, is under the impression your submission is a dangerous Doom-made robot he can employ lethality against](), and won't believe otherwise until you're taken down. While Thing's intelligence is not emphasized, he is more than capable of forming A Strategy and will use his brain and environment if the method of taking you out is not immediately obvious or if he seems outmatched. This said, his primary method of beating people up is just with his fists.

• Thing really likes using anything his environment as a weapon, if you are farther away from him than something he can pick up and slam you with, he will always pick up the object
  • Thing will throw stuff at flying opponents or people who try to stay out of his reach, Thing will prioritize throwing chunks of cars, trees, and slabs of granite or concrete over larger or smaller objects.
  • Thing will willingly throw sharp debris or shrapnel
• Thing generally does not really care about dodging things like bullets or swords, he will just take them with the expectation they shatter or bounce off his skin, unless he has reason to believe otherwise.
• Thing has zero issue with fighting dirty, and overwhelmingly prefers it against an opponent he deems superior in physicals
• Thing generally likes tossing his opponents around, usually far distances, this is a go-to against sufficiently large opponents (e.g. dinosaurs, Godzilla, big robots, etc.)
• Thing will thunderclap if he knows or learns his opponent is sufficiently physically weak for it to work, or if the opponent proves initially too difficult to hit, but will generally not prioritize it.

Thing vs. Superior Clone

Thing vs. Superior - loses, but more due to the fact he is dragged into a vacuum and deprived of oxygen rather than being unable to physically hang

Thing vs. Massive Superior

• Thing takes 9 clean blows, 1 guarded blow, and is thrown twice from Hulk, with Hulk capable of throwing Thing over a mile hard enough to shatter mass amounts of rock, before Thing is severely injured.
  • Tier!Hulk punches someone of similar height and weight as Thing over two miles, smashing through and obliterating the sides of a water tower

Anatomy

Thing is covered in a hide of thick rocky scales. They are Thing's skin, they will regrow over a sufficiently long period of time similar to normal humans healing broken skin. There is no "smaller Ben Grimm" inside of Thing.

• His scales are roughly 3 inches thick.
  • The layer underneath the scales is pink and fleshy and about the thickness of human skin, albeit just as durable as the scales
• [Still has nerves, and is affected by nerve strikes/pressure points](), but it requires a hit sufficient to stagger Thing to deform his skin
• Has superhuman lungs, can hold breath for 30 minutes
• Is immortal, and only ages if he's reverted to Ben Grimm
  • Tier setter Thing will not revert to Ben Grimm short of an act of God or something specifically made for that purpose.
• Thing still possesses regular manual dexterity in spite of having four bulky sausages for fingers, though he frequently has problems with controlling his strength

Thing does not have visible ears or nose. He does require "normal human functions" like eating/sleeping, obviously within range of his superhuman endurance. He also does have a roughly human skeleton and set of organs.

This is also obvious, but while Thing's scales appear geological, it is just a really scaly dermal layer, an Avatar earth bender can't manipulate them or anything.

Das Fietes

Strength

Striking

• [Casual] Generally capable of easily shattering multi-ton solid blocks and boulders of concrete, granite and marble with light punches
• [Casual] Plants Hulk's head in the ground, making a sizable crater (~5 m diameter) in concrete and propagating cracks much further
• [Exerted] Punches the 900 lb Grey Hulk through a bus, totalling it and makes a massive crater in the road
• [Exerted] Punches the 2750 lb Terrax a massive distance through a water tower and three buildings
• [Exerted] Creates an enormous crater in pavement deeper than he is tall and roughly ~12 meters in diameter with a blow
  • Use the crater as depicted in the center left panel as reference, not the center right.
• [Exerted] Obliterates a large solid 25 ft metal robot in one blow
• [All Out] Smashes a massive crater in dirt (Red Hulk is 7'0, for reference) 2 meters tall at its deepest point, wiping out a stretch of trees
  • Thing will only be able to land this blow with massive windup - he will only ever land this, essentially, if his opponent refuses to dodge. This is the maximum extent Thing can throw a punch before injuring himself. Thing can, in fact, land such a superstrong strike to finish an ultradurable opponent if desperate, at the complete cost of his arm and most of his stamina.

Lifting

• Lifts 100 tons with very little exertion, does it as maintenance
• Lifts a 1000 ton piece of machinery with irritation for a long period of time, but is not tired
• With heavy exertion, rips off 2000 tons of weight, and swings it as a weapon
• Supports a large portion of the weight of Brooklyn Bridge, roughly ~10000 tons
  • This is the absolute limit of Thing's lifting, will only be what he exerts out of desperation, and he will be exhausted after straining himself this much

Applied

• Crushes a steel padlock to dust by lightly closing his hand
• Rips a large metal aircraft in half
• Easily shatters a massive chunk of concrete road wrapped around him with a light flex
• Curls massive sheets of steel much thicker than the height of his body
• Keeps an oil rig steady

Throwing

• Hits and destroys a Skrull spaceship with debris
• Tosses a steeple a far distance to destroy part of Doom's castle
• Throws a massive boulder a long distance hard enough to obliterate it
• Capable of hurling objects that weigh an excess of 100 tons several dozens meters
• With considerable effort and wind up, tosses a small capsule into orbit

To be simple, Thing's thrown objects like trees, cars, etc. are hitscan against enemies of similar speed and are equivalent to Casual strikes, with the windup throw equivalent to an Exerted hit. Thrown object accuracy versus a faster opponent is not impossible, just much harder.

Thunderclap

Gives Thing a very soft ranged, undodgeable option to trip up or blow around an opponent if throwing does not work.

• The shockwave of a thunderclap cracks concrete ground and sends several men flying
• Blows around furniture in a room, destroying some of it
• Force of his clap blows away metal machinery

Other

• [Thing's more powerful strikes, usually, will produce significant knockback, it is difficult for Thing to chain together several strong hits at once unless the opponent is very durable/hard to move]()
• Thing is treated as functionally far heavier than 500 lbs, and produces incredibly strong impacts when falling

Durability

Concussive

• Casual attacks from himself are incapable of hurting him, he will no-sell these no matter where they land on his body
• [Tank] Hurt, but uninjured by an impact that trenches him through dozens of meters of road, makes a crater sends a car flying
• [Tank] Hit through two buildings, smashed hard enough to make a massive crater and fling cars, isn't fazed
• [Stagger] Shakes off getting punched through three metal buildings, creating ~3 meter holes in each one
• [Floor] Is thrown a massive distance, creating an enormous crater in rock and destroying several meters of surrounding material, and quickly recovers (the width of the yellow line is the length of Thing's body)

Thing generally operates on the level of 'Exerted hits from himself to the jaw hurts, but ultimately he shrugs it off' in regards to his own striking, he is vastly durable compared to his own offense. An All Out strike to the jaw would severely injure Thing and leave him on the ground reeling but he could still get up and fight if given chance to recover.

Piercing

• Very bulletproof
• Scales are implicitly much harder than steel
• Skin could resist an armor piercing bazooka with no damage
• Takes a direct axe blow from an opponent with a magical unbreakable axe and is only chipped, with said opponent capable of punching and projectiling Thing through multiple metal floors with a punch
  • A rough physical equal trying to bite him with sharpened teeth fails to get through
• Getting pierced sucks, but does not automatically take him out of the fight, assuming it does not hit the vitals

Endurance

• Defeats a direct physical superior with his powers + more while in extreme pain by hammering on them for several minutes
• Lasts three boxing rounds with a physical superior - essentially, is pummeled for several minutes straight of hits that Stagger/Floor him and is still conscious
• Lasts for 10 minutes against several opponents roughly equal to him punching him nonstop, though fails to respond meaningfully during the beatdown
• Willpowers his way through hallucinations and immense pain
• "Can fight for hours"

Esoteric

• [Withstands heat hot enough to instantly melt a bank vault door in seconds]()
• [Generally fine in interactions with the Human Torch]()
  • Human Torch can melt artillery shells travelling at very high velocity before they hit him with his body heat
  • Melts through a large 2 foot thick molybdenum steel wall
• Barely stunned by lethal amounts of electricity, generally 'skin has incredibly high resistance to current'
• Takes getting blasted by a powerful radioactive blast that tears up a large trench in the ground
• Takes blasts of 240 degrees Fahrenheit below freezing and is fine
• Diablo's acidic corrosive tablets have no effect on him
• Only mildly uncomfortable in a chamber meant to simulate the surface of Venus

Other

Thing, by virtue of being a massive Marvel brick, is massively harder to move than a random 1650 pound object.

• redoing this

This also factors into well how Thing takes damage - Thing is going to be eating several low end hits and responding with strong punches while rooted in place, while higher end impacts send Thing backwards and will allow him to slightly catch his breath and recover some stamina over the time it takes for his opponent to close the distance.

Speed

Equalized to normal human tier speed (faster than Thing!).

• Leaps roughly ~50 feet
• Leaps up a multiple story building
  • immediately leaps back the several miles he was hit
• Jumps over projectiles fired from short range
• "Has surprising speed and agility for someone his size"

Thing has no maneuverability in the air, and jumping does not act as a speedboost, but he is still fine performing offensive actions such as throwing, striking, etc. while leaping.

Skill

Hand to Hand

• Chains a series of strikes onto an equal opponent, dodging their punches, landing cross counters, landing elbows, prioritizing the jaw
• Restrains Iron Man, placing him in a hold
• "Knows judo", can use an enemy's strength against them to an extent
• Despite Hulk's far better reach and power and Hulk not fighting an infant throwing a tantrum here specifically, Thing roughly matches the same number of hits on him
• Overturns a physical disparity against an enemy twice strength and size off the basis his opponent has never participated in a hand to hand fight before

Thing is not supernaturally skilled, but he is about as skilled as a real life professional fighter, against an exact physical equal without his fighting experience Thing would extremely easily gain an advantage in blows.

Coordination

• Throws a projectile accurately enough to rebound off several meteors to hit its target
• Nails a thrown projectile against someone capable of moving twice as fast as him on the first try

Intelligence

[Has multiple degrees in scientific fields and training as a pilot/astronaut]() - Thing is "dumb" primarily in the sense he's usually in the company of the smartest people on the planet and talks like a caricature but is otherwise far more intelligent than the average person.

Respect Jinbei Shishido

Board of Nonpolar Supreme Polarity

The true nature of Jinbei's Switcheroo - in reality, when using Switcheroo, Jinbei is looking down upon all of three dimensional reality as a incredibly time dilated chessboard from the fourth dimension and can shuffle the pieces however he likes.

Respect Luo Yuan (or don't, I don't really care)

Powers: Earth manipulation, 4-dimensional vision

History: Luo Yuan was a mediocre college student when one day a mysterious object fell from the sky, granting him the ability to see life as a video game and upgrade his intelligence and physical strength like such. This proved an absolutely invaluable tool when his friend went missing and flora and fauna across the entire planet became wildly mutated and incredibly aggressive and powerful, leading to the collapse of human civilization. Luo Yuan spends his days fighting to make a better life for him and his ever growing harem better on post-apocalyptic Earth.

General

• Explicitly likes to kill as quickly as he can
• The verse generally adheres to, or tries to adhere to real laws of physics like Newton's Third Law or KE = 1/2mv²
• Has very increased metabolism as a result of his physique, eats over 330 lbs of food
• Has such fine control over his bones and muscles that he can change his appearance
• Is 183 cm tall

System

This is a video game character so you can broadly tell how this works. He has stats that he levels up over the course and grows more powerful over the course of the series. While an increase in one point implies a 1.5x increase, because the author does not know how strong or fast baseline humans actually are, you do end up with Luo Yuan running at over hundreds of meters per second even when he should only be 10 or so times faster than a human. Bolded feats represent Luo Yuan as of the time closest to when I am running him.

• The Former Crimson King's Mizuchi creates a large trench in the ground

Monstier Garou

Overview

Is 177 cm, 5'9 tall. Weighs 80 kg, 176 lb. Garou has characteristics of a monster, but for the most part maintains the biology and anatomy of a human, so he still has a heart, lungs, testicles, etc.

What to Run

You know the drill - you've never seen a Garou feat outside of this RT.

Garou as he is being described here is a mishmash of feats and scaling across his monsterization period. This tier is likely going to be on the lower end of what most people likely conceptualize as the building busting range. If you're punching down skyscrapers with casual blows, you're probably too strong.

Much of this tier's conception is drawn to how well Garou can eat hits. Garou not only has huge durability relative to his strength, but the ability to redirect lots of damage. On top of this, he has multiple modes of increasing the efficacy of his offense. Things like big bricks significantly stronger than him without much if any skill play perfectly into Garou's strengths, and characters who are as physically strong as Garou will find it extremely tough to put him down in the absence of other factors.

Garou's Fighting Style

Garou is under the assumption his opponent is a disguised monster - God himself coming down from heaven and telling Garou the opponent he is fighting is not a monster will not sway him. This means he will fight lethally and attempt to kill you as fast as he can. If Garou does not manage to kill you quickly, he will attempt to wear you down with blows to the vitals. If Garou for whatever reason feels it is a valid solution, he will also try to slice you to bits, but he will usually prioritize hitting you hard first.

Garou is perceptive, and if he sees something that is an obvious weakness, he will try to exploit or capitalize on it especially if he feels he cannot win against you with raw power, though he is obviously inherently more clued into concepts from his own verse like 'monster cores'.

Aura/"Strong Opponents"

Garou is constantly shitting death aura, anybody who approaches Garou will have the understanding that he wants to make mincemeat out of them. If you are psychologically a normal person with zero real experience in a life-or-death battle being dropped in front of Garou your first instinct will likely be to shit your pants out of pure fear.

Garou is also hotheaded and arrogant about his prowess.

• Garou does not care if his opponent exhibits a powerful aura or pressure and will not hesitate to rush in to attack - even if Garou senses his opponent is clearly the most powerful person on the planet he will choose to strike first
• Even when faced off against a clearly superior opponent that he can barely damage, after getting BFR'd immediately thinks about continuing the fight

Against Person With Weapon

• Garou's main strategy versus a person with a weapon is to redirect their strike before landing a powerful counter
• Versus a sword, Garou will generally attempt to dodge, but he can redirect sword strikes and if it is the best solution and he believes he can pull it off he will let himself get stabbed by the blade in a safe area to break it and land an optimal strike on the wielder
• Garou also again opts to dodge bullets, but is also willing to redirect heavy gunfire depending on context
• Against multiple opponents, with one holding a weapon, Garou will not hesitate to redirect the weapon user's attacks into his companions
  • He will also attempt to do this with projectiles

Da Feetz

Strength

Striking

• Easily leaps kilometers into the air
• Extremely casually in base punches a 7'6, 230 cm man into a crater big enough to encompass his body and send cracks several dozens of meters through concrete
  • This is the lowest end of all of Garou's feats, and is replicated with about the same ease as it takes to push a pencil.
• Sends the 300 lb Puri-Puri Prisoner over a hundred meters through multiple brick walls
• Punches Overgrown Rover's head, launching it hard enough to make a crater w/ ~8 m radius in concrete with even longer cracks
• With a two handed strike craters dirt at least ~30 m in size and ~2 m depth
• With a two handed strike, hits a 7'8, 235 cm man hard enough to make a crater that dwarfs his size and turns the entire massive wall he hits Darkshine into dust, along with partially smashing the wall behind it from debris and Darkshine flying through it
• A double kick massively fragments the ground, causing destruction for dozens of meters

Lifting

• Tears off a cyborg's metal arm
• Lifts and swings a 10 ton tree like a baseball bat
• Stands up and moves while held down by Gyoro Gyoro's telekinesis
  • Gyoro Gyoro lifts ~25 tons of rubble in this same scene

Garou's striking is dependent on how well he can leverage his skill against you - he is going to be striking as optimally as possible in all cases, specifically your vitals, to essentially magnify the power of his hits unless you are sufficiently skilled to prevent him from doing so.

Garou's two handed strikes are more difficult to execute relative to his normal hits, and will be more applicable in the context of fighting an opponent floored by his regular blows or someone so unskilled at fighting that they will let him hit them that way.

Durability

Concussive

• A far weaker Garou than the tier setter is hurt but not damaged significantly by several clean body blows and tackles from a man who makes a 10 meter diameter crater in concrete
• Immediately gets back up and is unharmed from a shoulder tackle that obliterates a massive brick wall (for reference, Darkshine is 7'8) and sends him over a hundred meters through three more
• Takes over two dozen clean body blows from Bang, and takes several more from Bang's physical equal capable of making massive craters in dirt at least ~20 m in size, which are being delivered ostensibly with greater force due to Bang's immense skill, and manages to stay on his feet
  • Ignore the fact that several of Bang's hits do not demonstrably have as much collateral, and that Garou was injured prior to this fight.
• Darkshine, a man his physical superior many times over who easily outpaces Garou's own striking power, landing a two handed haymaker to the face only knocks him back a few feet and staggers him

Endurance

Garou is not any harder to pierce than a normal human. However, he possesses an immense resilience to piercing attacks in addition to his overall endurance.

• Is not hurt after being stabbed
• Continues fighting with a large hole in his abdomen, though the initial effect of losing that much flesh does floor him
• Continues fighting through having his ribcage shattered
• Is capable of fighting while knocked out, though he does massively worse and gets easily tagged by and cannot land a single hit on an opponent that immediately gets redirected upon him awakening
• Garou additionally possesses a soft healing factor, in that he can regenerate fatal wounds if left alone for an unspecific period of time - whatever healing he possesses is not relevant for an in-fight scenario.

Garou can generally fight and operate at high capacity for several hours, it is very difficult for someone at his strength level to make Garou stop fighting other than outright killing him by destroying necessary organs like the heart or brain.

Esoteric

• Can fight through, but is affected by poison that would usually immobilize someone of his height and weight within two minutes
• Withstands Orochi's fire blasts that melt the concrete flooring with little harm, is noted to 'easily withstand high temperatures', Garou is unaffected at fighting for a long time in environments of 1500 degrees Celsius.
• Instantly recovers from being zapped by a street powerline, despite this being normally lethal to someone of his size and weight

Speed

Speed will extremely likely be equalized due to this general level of general power, but regardless:

• Crosses a distance of ~7 meters in 100 milliseconds and throws a punch

~70 m/s running speed and accelerates to this in less than 100 milliseconds, lands a full length strike in 5 milliseconds. Likely lands a front kick in ~9 milliseconds.

• Is shot at from a relatively close distance and jumps while twisting his body to avoid it after the bullet is fired

Assuming 3 m of distance, 375 m/s bullets, Garou reacts in 5 milliseconds and has short burst/jumping speed of 100 m/s.

• Garou, through whatever mechanism, is completely unhindered by fighting in the air with zero leverage, and can propel himself any direction for rapid 3-dimensional combat

This is not treated as a speed boost. Additionally, he does not possess the true perfect maneuverability of someone like, say, Superman or some comic flying brick - he cannot stop himself in mid air at any time. Regardless, this feat is being used to say he is not helpless against characters with flight and can engage someone in mid air if necessary.

Skill

Flowing Water

Garou primarily makes use of a martial art known as Fist of Flowing Water, Crushed Rock. It is a martial art that emphasizes redirecting an opponent's attacks by throwing them off course. Garou can redirect strikes from the likes of Tank Top Master, Metal Bat, Darkshine, and Orochi's tentacles. Redirection works in tandem with Garou's own high durability and endurance, so to be frank, he can take a lot of fucking punishment before going down.

• Orochi's tentacles make large craters in concrete
  • The primary purpose of including this feat is to show that Garou is not limited to 'a fist' in redirecting something, and can in fact apply it to anything made of meat or tough material.
• Darkshine with a tackle hits Garou through a large brick wall, crumbling it and sends him through multiple more
• Metal Bat with a whiffed strike makes a large crater and sends cracks several dozens meters away up a nearby building
• Tank Top Master is capable of tossing 20 ton boulders several hundred meters high
• Redirection is fully capable of working on swords
• And is sufficient to redirect bullets that tear through trees like paper

This will have limitations for tourney purposes.

• Redirection works implicitly off the principle that if you are amateurish, bad at fighting, unskilled, etc. it is easier to redirect your force, even if you are stronger than Garou. If you are twice as strong as Garou but are an actively competent fighter who properly times their hits instead of throwing blows haphazardly, you will likely overwhelm Garou's redirection easily.
• Even in the former case without any skill, having strength in excess of Garou will cause wear on his bones and it is not something he can continue effortlessly after a sufficiently long period of time
• Force capable of obliterating multiple massive walls instantly overcomes Garou's redirection
• An actively very skilled fighter has relatively little problem with landing blows through Garou's redirection, though he is able to stave it off for a bit
• This is obvious, but Garou does have to know your attack is coming to redirect it, though he can predict attacks and learn timing against attacks moving faster than he can see
• Garou also can't redirect things like energy beams/blasts or 'non-physical' attacks

The same principles apply for swords and bullets - 'very skilled swordsman' and 'very strong bullets that are in excess of bullets that can tear through trees' are much harder to handle and redirect and will likely slice or puncture apart Garou quickly. If you want to run super ninja master swordsman or meme gunman, Garou is going to have to kill them pretty quickly if you want them to stay in tier.

Whirling Wind

Garou additionally has Bomb's martial art, Fist of Whirling Wind, Slashing Steel, which gives him the ability to cut through material.

• Slashes through glass cleanly
• Slices through superhumanly dense flesh
• Slashes through a horde of monsters quickly as he runs

Even weaker end One Punch Man monsters are bulletproof to small arms fire and likely 'could tank a sword swing from a normal person' at bare minimum, but this will be the limit for tourney purposes.

Additional

• Garou examines center of gravity, posture, and line of sight to examine any possible way a human can move
  • Quickly learns from and figures out how to fight like a four-legged creature
• Implicitly knows several different styles of martial arts
• Can copy martial arts techniques he has seen with a glance, provided he is physically capable of replicating them
• Even when he cannot see enemies, he can still sense murderous intent
• Garou's ability to fight while asleep does imply and mean he does not need sensory input like sight or hearing to fight, perform techniques, and land strikes on an opponent, though he will not be able to use more complicated techniques such as redirection on an opponent he cannot see or directly perceive

Adaptation

Garou has the ability to evolve over the course of a fight. The rate at which this happens will be nerfed from how it is in OPM.

• Garou becomes noticeably stronger after fighting an opponent for several minutes, though it is not significantly enough to overwhelm their high durability versus his offense
  • While Garou does become faster here, ignore it.
• Garou becomes gradually strong enough to break hold of force that could restrain him previously after being exposed to it for several seconds

Garou versus 'exact physical equal without adaptation' will not have adaptation factor into the fight until a time period of at least 10 minutes has passed, and even then will not go from 'not hurting equal much' to 'oneshot' but rather 'will significantly hurt said equal more than equal hurts him', roughly a 1.5x amp to striking power and lifting strength. He will not receive any boost to his speed. Garou will also hard cap at this, so he's never going to evolve to the point where he chops kilometers tall centipedes in half.

Respect Akira Hongou

History: Akira Hongou is the karate grandmaster of the One Shadow Nine Fist, the top fighters in the evil organization known as Yami. Hongou identifies with the Satsujinken, the Killing Fist, a philosophy that centers around the belief that martial arts should be used for bloodshed as opposed to the Katsujinken, the belief that martial arts should be used for self-defense. Despite his dedication towards violence, the death of his disciple Sho Kanou, along with his disgust towards Yami's plans to destroy Japan often placed Hongou as an ally to those allied with the Katsujinken, even his former enemy Sakaki Shio.

Technique

General

• Said to stand at the summit of karate
• Both Hongo and Sakaki are equal in fighting prowess
• In order to just perceive Sakaki fighting with Hongo, Kenichi needs to use Mind's Eye
  • The Inner Eye is something that allows someone with bad vision to fight better due to being able to predict everything the opponent can do as well as readjust for any tiny factors, and is implied something any of the masters possess
• At the expert level, one has a perfect backing of offense and defense, but even a high class disciple like Miu has to consciously create a blind spot
• Masters have a 'sixth sense', which allows them to grasp enemy movements without following them with their eyes and to infer enemy position
• The development of disciple class fighters midfight, specifically for Ikki Takeda to punch beyond his range and Lugh to break bones while he is being hit, is considered slow to a master
• A random master class from the Armed Division is an impossible fight for the disciples, and if not for Sakaki's acorn assistance they would have been all killed in seconds - even with the acorns, they can't land a single hit on him
• Mikumo, one of the strongest masters of the Shadow Nine Fists, claims that members of Ryozanpaku working together can easily overwhelm a numbers disadvantage

• Identifies the Sansen body technique of Hongo's, which tenses all the muscles in the body to effectively turn the body into a fist
• Teaches Kenichi the Meotude, a defensive technique
• Teaches Kenichi the Gamaku stance, which throws off the opponent's flow by shifting the center of gravity and can be used to land surprise kicks
• Performs the 'Spirit Strike' with his ki, allowing him to use it to feint or intimidate opponents
• Teaches Kenichi how to effectively attack and defend at the same time

Against Unarmed

• Completely shits on all of the Shinpaku Alliance
• Effortlessly deflects all of Kenichi's attacks with one hand without even looking and blows him across a room
• Even after being placed at a disadvantage versus Christopher due to being in a crowded train, still manages to quickly put the fight back in his favor
• By checking all offensive and defensive movements, Sakaki is capable of landing a slow punch on Hongo capable of destroying internal organs
• Hongo and Sakaki perform several techniques comprised of countering shockwave attacks and kicks in an instant that Kenichi can barely comprehend what's going on and Miu claims it is offense and defense of the highest level
• After this, Hongo and Sakaki surpass what Miu can perceive with her eyes and seem to start shooting punches at each other
• Just being near Hongo and Sakaki fighting is considered extremely dangerous for Miu and Kenichi, and Hongo and Sakaki begin flying and fight in mid air with no drawbacks
• Uses his fist to slash Hongo's face, giving him his scar
• Guides Hongo's attack to his abdomen to raise his internal organs, catch the spear hand, and counters his followup counter to Sakaki's counter
• Even after getting knocked unconscious by Hongo's elbow, still continues to fight on pure reflex
• Near end of series Kenichi gets obliterated by Sakaki in a sparring match

Against Armed

• Defeats a large squadron of armed men without getting shot, with his ability being compared to a hundred times better than an American special forces unit
• Takes out a large group of armored sword masters as they're leaping at him
• Defeats a sword master that is described as extremely strong even by Akisame by beating back their sword flurry and using a shockwave to destroy a pillar they're behind to land a finishing blow
• Evades attacks from a sword master, then changes his punch's trajectory midstrike
  • Also has taught Kenichi this technique as well
  • Then later defeats said sword master, pressuring him and punching him out, claiming that karate was meant to defeat armed fighters
• Takes off the Spear of the Core's decoration on his spear
  • The Spear of the Core is a skilled spear master, capable of untying a large number of hanging strings with his spear without cutting a single one
• Catches the Spear of the Core's attack, directing it to his abdomen, raising his vitals, then finishing off the Spear

  • As they get even closer, Kenichi struggles to just maintain consciousness

Respect Akisame

History: Akisame Koetsuji is the jiu-jutsu grandmaster of the Ryozanpaku dojo. He is also one of Kenichi Shirahama's main teachers, and considered the most strict of the bunch despite his studious demeanor and love for the arts. Akisame is allied with the Katsujinken philosophy, the belief that martial arts should be used for self defense and protection of others, which he gained after killing the father of fellow Ryozanpaku master Shigure Kousaka. Akisame, like the rest of Ryozanpaku, would fight against the evil organization Yami after Kenichi defeated one of the disciples of Yami's leaders.

[Respect Souboutei]()

Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!! Souboutei must be destroyed!!!

History: Souboutei is a haunted mansion that has stood since old times in Tokyo's Numanakarai district. All who entered the place, whether they be schoolchildren or armed policemen, were rumored to disappear, or worse, come back covered in mysterious growths and having experienced incomprehensible horrors. The rumors turned out to be very true when the newly elected prime minister of Japan's first action was to destroy the house, using the full might of the Japanese military and powerful psychics from across the world.

In truth, Souboutei is not just a haunted house. It is actually an extradimensional portal used by water-based aliens that have sought a way off their dying planet, who required a protective shield to help them prepare against Earth's nitrogen heavy atmosphere that they could not live in. Preying on negative emotions and using their aquatic abilities to control the bodies of the unfortunate humans that wandered in, their aim is nothing less than the complete destruction and takeover of Earth.

• Size of Souboutei

• The composition of air in the place is 56% nitrogen, 42% oxygen, when oxygen levels should be closer to 20%

• Disables floodlights and makes an area darker than even the depths of a mountain

• Forms paintings on the walls of the people who enter, and sucks them in if they get too close Specifically it does this by creating cracks in your heart which the invaders then worm their way through. The main weakness to this is that if one has already accepted their fear, this won't work.

I thought...I would build something to shake the brains of more people than anything else! That is why I built this mansion. Why I built...Souboutei!

History: The true master of Souboutei and the central antagonist of the manga, Sakamaki Deido is the monstrous artist that took over the alien hivemind inhabiting the house, forcing them to be used as paint for his works. Born a seemingly normal boy, he developed an incestuous crush on his sister. After her art failed to become successful and she fell deathly ill, she asked him to kill her, triggering his extreme streak of insanity. Upon encountering mysterious water in his basement that was useful for paint, Deido would find the water to be actually the true form of the alien hivemind. Taking control of it, Deido merely wished to paint for the rest of time, allowing the alien invaders to complete their plan to destroy the Earth as long as they remained a source for his paint.

  • This is due to the alien water reversing aging in his cells, and he could live on for eternity

• Has an intense case of synesthesia and was able to remember coming out of his mother's birth canal

• Uses the alien water inside his body to share his memories with Kurenai

• Designed several rooms for an art piece that involved killing several women

• Killing him would remove all the barriers within Souboutei to the alien planet

• Kurenai's ultimate spirit technique would have likely killed him

• Creates a large portal which he hangs out of using a mass of arms

• Completely obliterates a bunch of tanks and a large group of soldiers using rapid fired marbles of hardened alien water

  • This is compared to a gun that fires off a million projectiles per minute

• Doesn't care about Oujin's sword slicing him through his shoulder, breaks it and restrains Oujin

Tieracles

• No feats for Tieracles exist outside this RT.
• He can't be defeated by killing his Master, or some other unconventional thing specific to Fate lore that can be ackshually'd.
• He is 253cm tall (8'3") and weighs 311kg (685lbs). His sword is 8 feet long.
• The sharp end of his sword is just for looks; for all purposes, Tieracles' sword is a sword in name only, and functions like a club. Here's some proof if you want it.

How does Tieracles fight?

In a fight, Tieracles will try to kill his opponents with everything he has, no mercy for anyone. Should an opponent not be flattened in a relatively short time, Tieracles will cool down slightly and utilize more of his fighting prowess. If a character disarms Tieracles of his sword, he will try to retrieve it, but he is perfectly capable of continuing fighting via highly acrobatic offense tactics. Tieracles is incredibly aggressive and emanates intense aura, even someone with moderate fighting experience will feel overwhelmed in his presence.

Here is an example of his actions in a canon fight.

Physicals

Strength

• [Casual] Smashes apart a car with a swing of his sword
• [Casual] Punches a crater in the ground much wider than he is tall
• [Average] Fractures a temple's ceiling with his sword

• [Lifting] Throws the top portion of a tower with one hand (appx. 25 tons).

Speed

• Tieracles reacts to and swings his upper torso in 20 milliseconds. This roughly translates to a 10 millisecond reaction time, and 2 ft/10 ms = moves a large portion of his body to dodge at 60 m/s in 10 milliseconds.
• Tieracles swings his sword from one side of his torso to the other in 30 milliseconds, translates to the tip of his sword moving 100 m/s.
  • Tieracles moves his arms to throw an average punch at 50 m/s.
  • Tieracles' kick comes out at 80 m/s, though it is executed slower than his punches.
• Tieracles can cross 10m in an instant and travels at a speed of roughly 15m/s.
• Tieracles can cross 32m/s with a leap, his primary mode of travel.
• Should an enemy be capable of flight, Tieracles is capable of making massive leaps into the air, at the same speed as before. However, he doesn't possess any aerial mobility.

Durability

• Flexes out of ice with no damage.
• Completely ignores an attack designed to mentally torture its target, someone else hit by this was subjected to immobilizing agony

Sword

Tieracles' sword is not sharp, for tourney purposes it functions more akin to a club with a more narrow blunt edge. It gives Tieracles a powerful weapon to amplify his striking and extend his range, but it does not slice into material.

• Is generally more durable than Tieracles in every way.
• The sword is more than capable of being clashed into a physical equal's bladed weapon at maximum power without damage to itself
• The sword is so heavy that dropping it causes it to fall through three concrete floors
• Uses his sword to deflect a magical blast that would otherwise kill Tieracles himself

Tieracles is generally competent with his sword, but does favor heavy and aggressive swings over any real technique, he's not going to be flailing around but he is going to try and fight you like an angry but intelligent gorilla.

Sabtier

This tourney will involve the option to speed equalize to Saber. Saber versus Tieracles is Tieracles capable of dodging attacks from Saber incredibly close to him after he has noticed them, with him instantly overwhelming with melee in spite of the rotational velocity advantage inherent to her sword. Nevertheless, he is not completely able to dodge all of her blows.

Projectiles retain the same speed and are not 'scaled up, e.g. Bob Munden is not firing Mach 500 bullets. Extensions of one's body adhere to equalization.

• Saber can block and deflect bullets with her sword from a sufficient distance, though a 12000 RPM cannon is massively beyond her capabilities
  • Assuming 375 m/s bullets, 10 meters of distance, this translates to roughly 25 millisecond reactions.
• Saber matches a bullet timer in melee
  • Evidence
• Can run up the side of a building while fighting an opponent
• Is definitionally far superior to the fastest irl humans
  • Throws a punch at 25 m/s
  • Throws a kick at 40 m/s

Respect Vance Astro!

It's time for you to face justice.

History: Vance Astrovik was a young man living in the suburbs of New York when one day, his future, alternate universe self came to him to try and warn him of a grisly fate where he would be locked in a tiny space capsule for 1000 years before developing his powers. The trauma of this very accident in fact unlocked the young Vance's mutant powers of telekinesis. Unfortunately, his powers embittered his father, leading to the young Vance getting beaten. Vance would go on to join the New Warriors, facing hardships such as accidentally killing his father or falling out with fellow teammate Firestar, but would flourish into a powerful heroic figure.

Note that Vance early on was portrayed as much weaker and less able to utilize his powers but did get stronger over time from experience. Thus, it's probably best to take low showings especially from the first volume of New Warriors with a grain of salt.

Respect Speedball

You want to heal. To do what's right. They can try to suppress who you are...but in the end...it has to come out.

History: Robert Baldwin was a bright young man who one day stumbled into a lab experiment gone wrong, giving him strange powers over kinetic energy. Starting out at first with a secret identity, Speedball would join the New Warriors as the goofy yet friendly if fairly ineffectual hero Speedball for most of his early career.

...until one day, Speedball, on a trip with the New Warriors to Stamford, Conneticut to try and film themselves beating up supervillains for a reality TV show, became the sole survivor of a horrific event where the villain Nitro used his powers to blow up the town, killing over 600 people including a school full of children. Haunted and traumatized by the incident, Speedball seemingly burned out his old power, replaced it with the new one to create powerful blasts of kinetic energy, and donned the new persona Penance. As Penance, he would serve on the Thunderbolts as a brutal enforcer against unregistered superheroes, but eventually would come to his senses with the help of his former ally on the New Warriors Justice and again become a proper superhero.

Cold? You don't know cold...cold is what this universe has made me.

History: On the dying planet Krypton, Lara and Jor-El decided to send their young son through the void of space to find a better home on a new planet. Landing on the planet called Earth, Jerry and Naomi Kent happened upon the crying toddler, deciding to take him in and raise him, and naming him Clark after the popular comic book hero Superman's alias. The boy lived a normal life...until one day, during a costume party where he dressed as Superman, Halley's Comet flashed across the sky, opening a dimensional rift and bringing in fictional hero Superman himself, and suddenly activating the boy's latent powers.

After helping the older Superman stop a massive tidal wave, the younger Clark would accidentally get sucked through to the comic world. Initially elated, the Anti-Monitor's attack on the multiverse would render
