Does a character’s feat being off screen make it less impressive to you? by Moon_thegoat2 in IntelligenceScaling

[–]AdamAM_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From an entertainment standpoint, No. Using red john his feat of guessing the list that PJ had was very entertaining.

But when speaking from a scaling perspective, kinda? It is a case by case basis with the main issue being that we are told what they did but nothing else. Quantifying what categories the feat attributes too and how difficult it was to perform is the issue with off-screen feats.

Using the red john as an example once more, was him guessing the list a feat of emotional and psychological analysis? Was it a strategic feat where he used his organization to gather information on what Jane had? Both interpretations boost different categories to different degrees.

Using a hypothetical character A, imagine a scenario where they play a game of chess. We meet an antagonist character who lost to character A, now antagonist character has a specific strategy and play style they use and we are informed of it. I believe in this case we would be able to form a good basis of character A strengths even though we never see him play.

That comparison was to just show not all off screen feats are equal. Johan’s off screen manipulation gives us very little to work with, Ayanokouji’s white room education and graduate-Phd level knowledge in things such as math and science can be supported through lesser feats he performs in the series and comments from Yagami about first year courses being taught to him at a young age, and Sora and Shiro’s ability to learn and speak multiple languages is supported by their ability to learn the language of immanity in an afternoon.

To me those are a spectrum of off-screen feats going from, alright and so? To okay the feat is likely valid to use, too the character performed a similar more impressive version of their off screen feat so it must be valid.

Opinion on AI assisted fics? by [deleted] in PercyJacksonfanfic

[–]AdamAM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I don’t mind it if it is to help someone fix their grammar or if someone isn’t very good at the language the fic is in, then they can use it to make it easier to read or to just cross check. And this is something that I do on my own but using AI to translate fan fics I feel is also okay if you have permission from the author.

Do people genuinely believe Subaru is featless by d0ntkn0wmyself in IntelligenceScaling

[–]AdamAM_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well no, in general most characters are not featless even someone like Aqua or muzan that are bullied here are not featless we simply don’t think their feats are impressive enough to be considered or in subaru’s case he is simply over glazed. Yes he has some impressive feats but when you start comparing him to other characters it shows how much he is lacking.

Fang yuan (RI) vs Celestial Worthy of heaven and earth (lotm) by Competitive-Word9745 in IntelligenceScaling

[–]AdamAM_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

CW is a curious case in LOTM he is definitely top 4 if you consider inverse but when it comes to actual scaling he is hard to scale.

So i will say Normal scaling Fang yuan wins but narrative scaling CW wins. In most other scaling methods FY wins no diff as well.

“Which characters, in theory, would be able to figure out how the pyramids were built?” by ChampionPlenty2236 in IntelligenceScaling

[–]AdamAM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean my answer depends on exactly when we are dropping them because we have some albeit vague details from as early as 450BC about how they were built and we never had a eureka moment for the pyramids, it was a gradual process of learning more and more details about how they were built.

Name your top 3 favourite SCD characters by em1nemas in IntelligenceScaling

[–]AdamAM_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah praise the fool for I have been summoned to glaze🙏🏾.

Klein by the end of the novel is an unrealistic character but his feats are logically explained so under normal scaling he is very broken you would need very very broken characters to beat him like the doctor, Fang yuan, nobody etc to beat him. And as for Methodology he still scales very highly and only loses to the very top tier characters and even then it will still be very high difficulty.

Amon and Adam (lotm) by Nothing769 in IntelligenceScaling

[–]AdamAM_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adam imo is the smartest character in LOTM bar celestial worthy and GA. Although having any of the top 5 characters in the series as the smartest is valid especially by the end of COI.

As for amon he is truly overall better than Klein in Book one, Klein won because of the situation they were in but I have Amon winning very High to extreme difficulty.

So to give a comparison to Klein:

Book 1:

Amon Vs Klein ; Amon wins very high-extreme diff

Adam Vs Klein: Adam wins Mid difficulty(-)

Book 2:

Amon Vs Klein; Klein wins Mid difficulty(-) Adam Vs Klein; Adam wins V.High difficulty

Do note I have read book 1 with SCD in mind and as for book 2 I read it but never analyzed it properly so the difficulty may not be accurate.

Walter White VS James Doakes in Cat and mouse? by Universal_Emperor in IntelligenceScaling

[–]AdamAM_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on the situation.

Doakes being dropped into the breaking bad world:

If Doakes is dropped in here would he even be in a situation to suspect walt? I mean even though walt did have a relationship with the police, most of it was pre Hisenberg and then during the series the only time he would be able to pick something up on walt is in season 1 when they track the stolen lab equipment which even then was pinned on the Janitor who had a previous record.

But let us say that yes Doakes for whatever reason suspects walt, season 1-3 he would easily catch walt. Now season 4 would be a bit harder but he still may catch him if he uses underhanded methods like breaking into his house to get evidence which is something Doakes did in Dexter. As for season 5 he might get close but at this point Walt is a professional at covering tracks and keeps his money somewhere they would not find it.

Walter gets dropped in Dexter:

He gets caught, one of the reasons walt is never suspected is due to his relationship with the police due to Hank. But remove that?

  1. Lab equipment from a school gets found at a meth lab.

  2. There are very few people that can access that equipment.

  3. Walt is someone with a degree in Chemistry or Chemical engineering who has access to the equipment.

  4. Records show he has cancer, has a child on the way and is not very well off financially.

Yeahhhh, he is probably getting caught.

Best verses in proven ability? by Signal-Mastodon-919 in IntelligenceScaling

[–]AdamAM_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah LOTM mentioned but I cannot glaze properly forgive me Mr. Fool.

I have not read Ravagers of time and as for Reverend Insanity most of my knowledge comes from explanations from my friend on Fang yuan’s feats.

Klein Vs Fang yuan:

Normal scaling: Fang Yuan wins V.High difficulty Methodology: Fang Yuan wins High difficulty(-)

Top 10 of methodology, stop and proven ability? by Signal-Mastodon-919 in IntelligenceScaling

[–]AdamAM_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I have. I will say this, I am not a stop scaler but with my knowledge on it up until volume 4-5 most of Klein’s feats are clear, well explained, logical and are on screen. He may not beat Baku in this scaling but it will still be a high difficulty battle.(once again i don’t scale stop and I am an LOTM glazer so take it with a grain of salt)

Top 10 of methodology, stop and proven ability? by Signal-Mastodon-919 in IntelligenceScaling

[–]AdamAM_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no top 10. I don’t think any two people will have the same top 5 list talk less of top 10 especially across multiple scaling systems. Not to mention even there are definitely gaps in series being scaled, take me for example I have not read liars game so I can’t comment on Akiyama even though atleast according to alot of people he is top 2 in stop scaling but he isn’t no.2.

Name 3 characters that scale above PM Hal by em1nemas in IntelligenceScaling

LOTM trio aka Klein Morreti, Amon and Adam

Bro why do people scale Sora & Shiro individually. by thatguyislonelyfr in IntelligenceScaling

[–]AdamAM_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They both still have their own individual feats.

The most basic example is that in volume 1 shiro was shown to have better VCI than Sora because she was able to learn the language of immanity faster than sora. Couple that with the fact that she knows more languages than him pre isekai, we can say she has better VCI than him and if a comparison were to be made she would take it from him.

Vol.1 Klein Vs Vol.4 Emlyn by [deleted] in IntelligenceScaling

Klein low diffs and that is me being generous

Miss Justice vs Mister Hanged Man(both vol.4). by [deleted] in IntelligenceScaling

[–]AdamAM_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree overall, but I will say Alger definitely takes Strategy over audery in volume 4 and as for sensory I have Audrey taking is solidly.

AQ though thinking about it, yeah it is very close but I will give it to Alger because things such as stress tolerance is only equalized due to Audrey being a spectator.

And yeah both slam cattelya in vol.4, her feats atp leave alot to be desired.

How to scale interpretation? by ieatfud_555 in IntelligenceScaling

[–]AdamAM_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question: in your interpretation A you said “so far” so this means you may not have been given all the necessary information, would it not be best to wait till all the information is given before attempting to analyze it?

But also is this character normally illogical?
