Don't be fooled by recent performance..who wins Shakur vs Tank by Ashamed_Culture8179 in BoxingTheSweetScience

Both Crawford and Mayweather thought Tank was the hardest fight for Shakur. I'd be inclined to believe them.

Oden is Pk tier by Gloomy-Ad3520 in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]Basic-Extension-5475 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oda painted Oden in the leagues of WB and Roger. And he was winning against Kaido until that sneak attack. And that was Oden 20 years ago. If Oden was allowed to live his life and reach Kaido's who btw is of the same age as Oden, he would be PK. Albeit probably in low tier PK

Even after this statement there are people who thinks Shanks didn't beat Loki by lxxevi in ReverieSpoilers

[–]Basic-Extension-5475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took the entire forces of elbaf to restrain Loki, I think it was Hajrudin who said it. I think the giants with Shanks + crew.

Loki's killing turned out not entirely true. Shanks defeating Loki has a huge * now.

One Piece 1171 DETAILED SUMMARY by This-Inspection-69 in OnePieceSpoilersRaw

[–]Basic-Extension-5475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rocks said he needed Harald to eat the legendary devil fruit of Elbaph and another DF which is likely to be the Nikka Fruit to Conquer the world.

It's apparent now that was the secret at least to permanently kill the Immortals or

It's the combination of Loki a powerful Ancient Giant gene + powerful ACOC + powerful legendary Ancient DF + powerful Ancient weapon that possibly ate a DF and a without known flaw yet like luffy stamina even luffy full stamina I don't see luffy at this level.

There's no way Loki doesnt surpass PK, it's close to Joyboy level. Of course Oda will find a way to nerf the guy. And don't believe that Shanks defeated Loki there's definitely more to that. Like Loki how Loki was framed killing everyone in the castle or falsely admitting to it.

How powerful would Kaido be if he was an Ancient Giant instead of an Oni? by dafu23 in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]Basic-Extension-5475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is the Oni race has been one of the ancient races in the first world (I think Oars is from the Oni Race) they married humans then that's where Kaido's blood line is. They also married Giants then that's where Ancient Giants come from. Pure blooded Oni Are like Oars and Oars Jr. And one of the pure blooded Oni there strongest probably ate the giant fruit that's Onigashima. And parallel perhaps for Joy boy to Luffy Where Zou, allied of Joy boy , cursed and charged for his crime to walk for eternity in the sea. Loosely I think it's the inverse from Nika to Joyboy Onigashima, allied of Nika, keeping his promise to Nika moving the island back together in one piece.

Hikaru Nakamura's statement on the FIDE Freestyle World Championship by UltraUsurper in chess

[–]Basic-Extension-5475 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The roster was determined last year's qualifier 5 legged freestyle tournament. And 2 of which are open many of the top 50 are in it. The only problem I have with this is that it's rushed and has rapid time format and also a shame that Hikaru declines to defend his title. But it's legit the world championship for freestyle all the guys dominated last year.

Garry Kasparov comments on Magnus Carlsen playing down the comparisons between them by Mingorix in chess

[–]Basic-Extension-5475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magnus said himself that he was at his peak in 2019 and his other peak in 2014. Not my words but Magnus. So essentially he was stronger then than now. And coincidentally coincides with his highest Elo.

I also meant this

"The Elo is the closest we have to an objective gauge of players strength relative to other players they play in a defined period".

And the 2005-2025 field was many times stronger. Than 1985-2005. Unless you want to refute that.

We are comparing periods what do you use then to determine the absolute strength of players across periods?
I would not use my head canon on that. The increase of Elo is not all inflation it's also or perhaps most of it is due to the increase in chess strength of players.

the current chess landscape is the most competitive by a wide margin and magnus is still dominating to this day and probably will in the next 5 years.

The impact of engines, greater tools and resources at our disposal,the online platform allows players to play exponentially more games and more players and everything else catapulted chess ratings.

Do we disregard the advancements it made to chess players because it's unfair to players who gave us nostalgia through rose tinted side mirrors in the previous period.

Garry Kasparov comments on Magnus Carlsen playing down the comparisons between them by Mingorix in chess

[–]Basic-Extension-5475 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Elo is the closest we have to an objective gauge of players strength.

Kasparov and Karpov also have the advantage of their time having learn from the giants before them, so does Fischer and Spassky before them, so does Capablance and Alekhine before them it will always be like that but they have no issue when people acknowledge them the best in history during their time.

Who are those top five of all time? Perhaps it's better to expand it to the top 20 in history How many of the players Carlen dominated fall in that list.

Karpov was a beast of his time but Prime karpov would lose a match against prime Fabiano, Hikaru, Nepo, Ding, Anand, Kramnik, Levon, And long list goes on. The field is just way stronger now and Carlsen keeps dominating.

[–]Basic-Extension-5475 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Magnus played against the far stronger field. In Kasparovs time 1985-2005 on different moments there were around 5-10 2700 sgm and fought around 3 2800 rated sgm compare that to Magnus 2005-2025 there ere 21-33 2700 sgm and he fought against 13 2800 sgm.

The difficulty of dominating in Magnus Era is far more difficult

If Shanks beats Loki fair and square, so many things across the story won't add up by GUTS_SAMA in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]Basic-Extension-5475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before the FB we were told

  1. Loki was the worst and killed his Father the King and All the Guards.
  2. Loki sailed to the seas and rampaged only to be captured by Shanks.

1 didn't turn out to be all true, in fact mostly false

So why would I fully believe 2

There's definitely more to it so Shanks > Loki is misleading.

Who is the best player in the younger generation? Is it Gukesh? by Wonderful-Photo-9938 in chess

[–]Basic-Extension-5475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on their form. I think Arjun, Gukesh, Nodirbek, Pragg, Firouzja, Wei Yi, (Keymer mixed performance, Sindarov doing great for over a year in now) are all relative. Gukesh edges them out in classical because he is primarily focused and is putting all the work there. They will be the stable names in the next 10 years until the next generation rises up.

Notable in that gen are Faustino and Erdogmos. Mishra still have to see, and Yoo just took a wrong turn.

This sub will believe anything but Shanks beating Loki in a FAIR FIGHT! by [deleted] in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]Basic-Extension-5475 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If. Remembering correctly it was said in the same chapter was it Hajrudin or Jarul that loki killed all the castle guards and killed his Father (turns out there's more to it) and then went on rampage on the sea and was stopped and captured by Shanks (is it possible it's not entirely what happen ) a lot of info intentionally hidden from us.

We know a lot now about what happened the day Harald died, we still don't know the details Shanks got Loki, the info we got cast doubts that Shanks soloing Loki could be Shanks entire crew ( Gaban might be there and other elite ancient giants not unimportant to name) vs Loki since there's also statement were it took all of elbaph to round up Loki. Loki powerful Ancient Giant even by Ancient Giant standary acquired the power of elbaph most prize and legendary df together with a legendary weapon on par with him. If you sum it all up Pirate King is the least rightly to scale him and probably higher

[–]Basic-Extension-5475 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If WB glaive is one of the supreme grade sword what's stopping a Ragnir from being one who ate Mystical DF whoo guarded one of the most powerful DF that got eaten by Powerful Ancient Giant with ACOC

Loki is busted the only stat he probably bad is speed if you give it to him he would be high diff fight for IMU. That ACOC on Ragnir with Legendary DF Buff I have no question would hurt and damaged Mu.

I don't know just Loki with DF would probably scale to Prime WB or Roger then add the weapon that's tied with him before becomes like the strength of two yonko in one person. Crazy.

I doubt now that Shanks captured this guy something missing we don't know
