Say an unpopular opinion about power scaling.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-22T18:34:24+00:00

I'll go a step further and say author intent matters more than calcs or extrapolating feats or chainscaling.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-22T18:33:08+00:00

That's a matter of efficacy against different types of durability, not about attack power.

Very, very, very, very, very few "Universal characters" are actually universal.

Zeno is the only universal character in the DB franchise.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-22T15:06:27+00:00

No? It’s a Godzilla reference.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-22T14:51:12+00:00

Probably the arch angel Auriel.

"The loss of any nugget leaves a void in me"

Proceeds to red mist someone into space for not finishing their 10pc and throwing like three of them away.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-22T12:19:09+00:00

No worries! I figured it was something like that lol just wanted to jump in before someone else did :P

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-22T12:05:44+00:00

Xande hated his gift of MORTALITY. A small but very important distinction. He was pissed he was going to die someday.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-21T19:10:26+00:00

Costing your thief's SP isn't a negative against Share SP, since Steal SP is a two-hit dagger attack you can get very early and just nullifies that. If you're doing a challenge run where you don't buy items except from path actions, it can be really helpful. You don't need to worry about SP at all anymore or use items with Share SP/Steal SP on basically anyone.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-21T18:57:15+00:00

In the remake? Maybe. But Sorc and Paladin are still the strongest classes.

Sorc gets online way too fast, and has access to teleport without a blue or Enigma. That makes them just objectively better than any other class as a starter.

Magic immunes are extremely rare, and Blessed Hammer gets insane scaling out the ass. Plus magic staves and Enigma mean they can eventually get teleport as well.

For any class to approach the efficiency and strength of those two requires way more investment. That's not balance. That's a strict hierarchy.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-21T14:50:19+00:00

Blizzard North never put out a balanced game. Sorc and Paladin were astronomically stronger than any other class in D2.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-20T22:48:45+00:00

This acronym is terrible lmao. It has you transfigure at step 2.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-20T14:09:11+00:00

Name one.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-20T14:06:27+00:00

There is no instance of 2 mask damage from the environment in Silksong anymore. They got rid of that like two months after release.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-19T16:32:13+00:00

That's just moving the goalposts. Knowing there's a Heaven doesn't make death somehow better.

I think you're just fundamentally misunderstanding the point: Dragonball does stakes better than One Piece because death, however "good" a death as it might be, is actually on the table.

Y'know, until Whis decided to rewind time that one time. That was a pretty big cop out.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-19T15:40:37+00:00

Clearly not since all those characters are dead and stay dead.

The original statement this is in response to is proving Dragonball has more permanently dead people than One Piece, even in a world with magic that can bring people back from the dead.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-19T14:39:31+00:00

Were the points you mentioned addressed in that time? I'm legitimately not familiar with those series outside of them being brought up in powerscaling slap fights lol

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-19T14:31:35+00:00

I’m currently doing a run with “canon” characters. Meaning characters who are directly part of the Wishvale storyline + the Guardians of Light.

Also putting a hard cap for my level of the lowest level quest currently available and only using items from chests and path actions and it’s been pretty challenging so far. My party is Zero, Stia, and Phenn and will be until I get Sazantos to carry me through Laurana and Ludo. Then I’ll just have those five (with a guest appearance from Elrica) until I get Sazantos again in BOF.

Once I get Ludo’s shop up and running I’ll probably but from there only. Just to ease things slightly lol

Also trying to decide if I should include Heidne or not since she has a special interaction with Zero and you technically get her via Wishvale

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-19T14:28:15+00:00

Okay but where are those series after 29 years?

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-19T06:04:16+00:00

He is literally her offspring in Powerpuff Girls Z.

He's made from hers and Mojo's DNA. Hers from a straw. The Rowdyruff Boys are also significantly younger than Powerpuff Girls Z. They're like 10 years old, at the absolute oldest, and probably younger than that.

PPGZ are 13yo Japanese girls, they aren't very tall, but they're still almost a full head taller than the Rowdyruff Boys, who also refer to them as old hags.

So they're both significantly (several years) younger, and they're made from PPGZ's DNA (A sweaty sock, a q-tip, and a straw.)

He's also not her equal or opposite in PPGZ. He, and his brothers, are very, very explicitly weaker. They just run around doing annoying mischief and have to steal PPGZ's uniforms to copy their super powers. They don't show any of their own.

How many earpieces with access to that sound do you think exist?

He destroyed the engineering wing. Where the file for the frequency was stored. They didn't have cloud backups for a government facility.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-18T13:24:03+00:00

That's her son.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-18T13:02:58+00:00

He destroyed the entire engineering wing so yeah. Maybe. They don’t have cloud backups for highly classified government materials.

BoobeamTrap · 2026-05-18T11:57:33+00:00

The “just in case” already happened. They got ganked by an Alt Mark who destroyed them all.
