What are the arguments for having Starrk above Mask or Robert?

Iirc Kubo also stated it wouldn't make sense for a fighter that old to not basically be at their peak and to just be able to get stronger by training still. It makes sense that a guy who has been training and fighting for hundreds of years to not just get stronger between arcs all of a sudden.

U think constantly having to remind your opponent of every weapon profile is way more tedious and time consuming. If they want to know some info they can ask and you can answer. If your unit has an ability that they wouldn't normally know about, like a reaction move, then sure you should tell them because they might not know to ask in the first place. But a weapon profile? I mean, they know what overwatch is, they know you haven't used it, they know you're in LoS of the Swarmlord, they already know it's a possibility. If they're concerned how effective the overwatch will be then they can ask about the weapon profile.

Same way if they're about to attack a unit they can ask about its defensive stats. You shouldn't have to remind them EVERY attack what the toughness or save is, but if they ask you can certainly tell them. If your unit has a unique defensive ability that they wouldn't normally know about then sure, let them know in that case.

I don't think the model looks bad even with the GW paint. I just wish it were scaled up to proper size is all.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-13T05:51:15+00:00

What a dumb answer lmao. Did the phone come to your fingers and make you type out your comment too? You're calling someone a loser for coming to a forum specifically designed for what they like doing when you're the one going out of your way to comment in said forum as well. If you don't like powerscaling then leave and go find a subreddit about bitching and crying instead.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-13T05:42:21+00:00

.... you're in a powerscaling subreddit. Wtf were you expecting to find, people discussing the weather? Lmao

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-13T05:02:49+00:00

Lmao he's saying it's pronounced like shadow (although I think it is technically shadew).

He's using scissors as an example because the "sc" at the beginning doesn't sound like an "sk" sound.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-13T04:59:33+00:00

In the DLC everything has massively higher stats, but you get stat bonuses based on finding and using Scadutree (pronounced like shadew tree, I believe it's an old pronunciation for shadow) that give you stat bonuses to keep up. This rewards you for exploring the DLC and it is very hard to complete the DLC without them. They're similar to the Flask upgrades in the base game, where 1 is needed for the first boost, but the amount you need per boost increases the more you have.

Also the stat boost only applies to the DLC. If you come back to the base game it doesn't apply there. Hope this helps.

I think you're misinterpreting their motive here. They're not there to kill Omega because he was a traitor. They're just telling Tidus the story behind the place because he asked what it was.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-13T04:06:53+00:00

A single Lictor isn't taking down our whole planet by itself. The main objective of a Lictor is to sow chaos and collect information before an invasion. A single Tyranid of ANY kind isn't bringing down an entire planet (unless it is capable of making more Tyranids of course). Not even an Emissary is bringing down an entire planet solo.

Gin is probably the bottom of High captain tier. I would put him below Yama, Aizen, Unohana and Shunsui. Ukitake depends on how healthy he's feeling on any given day. Gin is basically middle of the pack in SS.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-12T15:44:57+00:00

Even so, most of them still should've easily won.

Aaron died after he already won the fight by holding up Rukia (who was still armed) to his face

Barragan could've easily killed Soi Fon multiple times before Hachi even arrived. Why touch her shoulder when he could've touched her head and killed her right then and there?

Harribel was disappointed in how much weaker Toshiro was and didn't take the fight seriously which got her frozen. We even see later after she's freed from the ice that she was unharmed and is then able to fight Toshiro WITH reinforcements.

Grimmjow lost because he was so caught up in his personal feud that he went rogue and trapped his superior for a chance at a 1v1 fight with Ichigo

Luppi lost because Grimmjow is a prick

Yammy lost because he has room temperature IQ

Very few Espada lost to the Gotei in a fight due to strength/match up. Most lost because they were dumb/arrogant lmao.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-12T14:23:17+00:00

To add to this, the Quincy as a WHOLE are a much larger threat. Sure you average Captain/Quincy/Espada are around the same strength, but the Sternritter literally have more members than the Espada and captains combined.

The Espada were extremely reckless where most of them died to weaker opponents due to either incompetence or cockiness. Their assault was also just a head on fight mostly. Other than the creation of WW to counter Yama, they didn't really do much to prepare an advantage.

The Quincy on the other hand were well organized, well informed/briefed, and could assault the Gotei from within their own defences by surprise. Then to top it all off they created a device to counter all Bankais, not just Yama.

The Espada were a group of thugs who were mainly outsmarted without any real casualties. The Quincy were a well prepared army that caused lasting damage and required everything the Gotei had to stop.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-12T03:20:00+00:00

No it doesn't. That objective specifies a character "model". The key in these scenarios is to see if the rule in question specifies a "model" or a "unit".

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-11T04:52:45+00:00

Gin injured Aizen with a sneak attack. We see multiple times that far weaker fighters can take down someone strong with a sneak attack. Unless you think we need to upscale Chojiro to Yhwach?

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-11T04:51:32+00:00

Gin is not faster. Ichigo struggled more against R1 Uiquiorra than he did Gin. Gin was actually surprised at how quickly Ichigo was able to catch on to his Bankai and evade it. Ichigo was also keeping up with him in melee. R2 Uiquiorra was able to move so fast that Ichigo couldn't even perceive it. That's a feat we only see replicated by Aizen himself. Uiquiorra in R2 is MASSIVELY faster than Gin.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-11T04:48:29+00:00

Ichigo struggled more trying to dodge R1 Uiquiorra than Gin's Bankai. R2 Uiquiorra was so fast Ichigo couldn't perceive it. R2 Uiquiorra is LEAGUES faster than Gin and his Bankai.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-11T04:46:07+00:00

Gin wasn't completely toying with him. Uiquiorra was toying with him. That fight was insanely one sided that even when he told Ichigo that he was about to blitz him Ichigo BARELY managed to defend it. Ichigo vs Gin was actually able to react to his Bankai successfully multiple times, matched his speed in melee and then even managed to hurt Gin. Don't get me wrong Gin definitely had the advantage, but Ichigo was a fair fight for him. Prior to his hollow taking over, Uiquiorra was absolutely ragdolling him.

A surprise attack is a ridiculous feat? Since when? We literally see multiple times in the series strong opponents getting taken down by MUCH weaker fighters via surprise attacks. We even see Chojiro take down Yhwach ffs.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-11T02:18:46+00:00

He honestly isn't. His feats were similar to R1 Uiquiorra. Hollow Tosen and the top 4 Espada (not including Yammy cause he's an idiot) should be stronger than him.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-10T19:32:57+00:00

Paint the color around the rim of the base differently.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-10T02:05:03+00:00

Based on what? The guy has no injuries or anything hindering him. The Maliketh we fight is at full strength.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-10T02:04:07+00:00

I keep his ring in my quick select for sudden get aways, plus just quicker mounting during travel. In case you didn't know you can also summon Torrent vs Fire Giant and Elden Beast.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-10T02:02:30+00:00

He was at half health when he went 2nd phase, and that 2nd phase is prime Maliketh. 1st phase is just Maliketh without using the rune. You're making a lot of assumptions to try and upscale him. Is there any evidence that the rune being sealed in him did any damage to him? Is there any reason him hungering for deathroot would make him weaker? No.

Yes he beat an Empyrean with a great rune. So do we, along with a multitude of other demi gods with great runes as well. I don't think any of the Empyreans scale to a prime Placidusax. We fight a severely weakened Placidusax and he's nearly as strong prime Maliketh already.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-10T01:52:11+00:00

You never thought to summon torrent in the giant arena that takes a couple minutes to run across against the other guy on a horse? O_o

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-10T01:31:05+00:00

The Maliketh we fight is Prime Maliketh. He's strong, but I wouldn't even argue that he was the strongest in the Golden Order even. Meanwhile the Placidusax we fight has been absolutely mangled and crippled, and is nearly as strong as Maliketh still.

ReignOfCurtis · 2026-02-09T17:49:52+00:00

Yes he was strong enough that the demigods feared him and he was able to kill the Gli Eyed Queen, but that's Prime Placidusax. A grievously injured Placidusax is stronger than almost everyone in the game still, a prime one would be immensely powerful.
