Golden Rules of Power Scaling

[Power Level Guy]

Here's a set of rules I am trying to come up with. Let me know what you guys think.

The Nexus Framework Laws (1–23)​

1. Always Assume Full Power
2. All Fights Are Subject to the Percentage Gap System
3. Narrative First, Then Numbers
4. Bias Must Be Eradicated
5. Power Chains Come Before Numbers
6. Comparative Fights Must Be Analyzed
7. Multipliers Must Be Treated as Consistent
8. Power Level Is King
9. Maintain the Status Quo
10. Manga Purist
11. The Strongest Interpretation Must Be the Simplest One
12. Showings > Hype
13. Can’t Touch This Scaling Is Absolute
14. Visual Cues Are Data
15. You Must Be Able to Scale in Reverse
16. All Character Statements Are True Unless Proven Wrong
17. Death of the Author Is Valid—but Must Be Disciplined
18. Accept the Imperfections of the System
19. The Ki Blast Progressive System
20. Survival Feats Are Not Reliable Scaling
21. Plot Determines Power, Not Logic
22. When in Doubt, Scale in Reverse
23. Power Chain Priorities Must Be Preserved

 

[Aksil]

Why always assume full power?

 

[Warmmedown]

Can’t Touch This Scaling Is Absolute?

Plot Determines Power, Not Logic
SSJ3 Goku>Vegito

 

[Warmmedown]

Always assume full poder
Cell Juniors? It's not possible foe them to be using full power without killing the humans

 

[Power Level Guy]

Can’t Touch This Scaling Is Absolute?

More or less. AT is incredibly consistent in who can see and who can't see in terms of a performative feat not as a consistency thing.

Why always assume full power?

That's the narrative style the author uses.

Cell Juniors? It's not possible foe them to be using full power without killing the humans

So would you say there's some evidence suggesting they weren't using full power against the humans?

I don't know what Can't Touch This Scaling is. So you mean if character A can't see character B and Character Y can't see Character X, the % gaps between A and B and Y and X are the same?

The humans are much weaker than Piccolo, Vegeta and Trunks. If those three could barely defend themselves against the Cell Jrs, the Cell Jrs should be able to instakill the humans. Like what A20 did to Yamcha.

No, I'm saying when a character says he can't see, you can say that with a decent amount of certainty that the "can't see" gap is similar when it's used.

The humans are much weaker than Piccolo, Vegeta and Trunks. If those three could barely defend themselves against the Cell Jrs, the Cell Jrs should be able to instakill the humans. Like what A20 did to Yamcha.

The Cell Jrs should be able to 100% instakill the humans in a moment's notice. The only reason they do not is because they choose not to.

 

[SSJ2]

Top tier rules.

 

[GSM123]

The always assume full power rule is one that accepts lots of bending, but it’s on a case by case basis.

The can't see: so if piccolo and Krillin both say they can't see freeza move, tje gap between freeza and both of them is the same?

Cell jrs: choosing not to, how's that different to noy using full powrr?

 

[Power Level Guy]

The always assume full power rule is one that accepts lots of bending, but it’s on a case by case basis.

There’s no bend? People’s reading comprehension tends to go sideways when they read this rule.

 

[Power Level Guy]

The can't see: so if piccolo and Krillin both say they can't see freeza move, tje gap between freeza and both of them is the same?

No, like when someone says they can’t see it should be 1.5x gap at minimum, it could be much more.

 

[Power Level Guy]

Cell jrs: choosing not to, how's that different to noy using full powrr?

The Cell Jrs factually did not use full power against the humans.

The rule is about our starting place of our assumptions. Then the evidence determines where things actually end up. The rule just put you on the right foot for Step 1. That’s all it is.

 

[Warmmedown]

I used that example because there's no explicit statement like "that wasn't even my full power" or any later power up (unlike Nappa, say - where everything pointed to the assumption of him using FP (since it's made out that they can't manipulate their power level), but then he powers up a bit).

In that case what's a case where people don't assume full power but you think they should?

 

[Power Level Guy]

Exactly why I created the rule. It doesn't have to be explicit to know it's full power. It's assumed.

(unlike Nappa, say - where everything pointed to the assumption of him using FP (since it's made out that they can't manipulate their power level), but then he powers up a bit).

Not being able to trick a scouter is not the same as not being able to alter your combat ability.

In that case what's a case where people don't assume full power but you think they should?

None. Always assume full power unless otherwise contradicted. You need evidence to prove they weren't using full power.

 

[Warmmedown]

If there are no cases of people not assuming full power, why the need for the rule? It must have come up before.

About Nappa, I don't see the difference between not being able to change PL and not being able to register different PLs on a scouter. The scouter measures PL. The only difference is Nappa can't lower or raise his as much as the earthlings.

Establishing a default it’s paramount to success to this endeavor.

This is false. Ki-sensers have statements proving Nappa powered up multiple times.

We have statements and feats.

The Nappa who got burned by a 2,800 Masenko is not the same guy as the one who shook off an 8,000+ Kamehameha.

 

[Aksil]

I think Nappa is 4,000. Paragus being 4,200 isn't a coincidence. It's probably with let's make him around as strong as Nappa

The evidence goes against that idea. Nappa has speed feats that place him over 8,000.

You can argue that scene was just to create tension. As Goku before it without Kaioken was dancing around Nappa.
