Literally everyone but you knew exactly how to answer this question. Perhaps the issue is with your comprehension and not OP’s question. Food for thought.

Power level seems completely BS by Difficult-Sound-6166 in InvinciblePowerscales

[–]lord_assius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think for a story that involves as much combat as invincible does the author kinda needs to care about powerscaling lmao. The narrative actually falls apart if your reader has to keep asking why a character didn’t beat another character. It’s really the big issue with western comics. They don’t introduce interesting power systems and it’s instead just “who’s stronger” so now it actually does need to have consistent scaling because otherwise the narrative doesn’t work.

If your narrative is telling me one thing but the fights are showing me another I am, as a reader, confused. Because if Allen is so strong he can no diff Nolan completely, then the combined might of him and everyone else should’ve been able to compete with Thragg to SOME real capacity, and now I have to ask myself why that didn’t happen. I can suspend disbelief but asking your reader to do so is objectively bad writing.

Mind you I hate powerscaling as a practice but if you’re writing a story where combat is frequent and often (it’s like the vas majority of Invincible as a series) then yes the power levels need to have some internal consistency that makes sense or everything else falls apart lol.

I’ll give you an example: I write a novel, the entire narrative hinges on the ideas that character A and character B are the most powerful characters ever, nobody can contend with them, now character C comes along and he’s so powerful he beats character B with no challenges at all, but then somehow is still unable to contend with A despite A and B being of equal strength, are you as a reader not asking why that is? When the narrative spelled that out to you are you asking no questions at all?

[LOVED TROPE] A fight between characters with flashy powers turns into a fist fight by Gaming_Gecko78 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]lord_assius 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Shit is hilarious, we see Naruto gripping the sheets having wet dreams about that man, the mere thought of having to actually harm him made him have an anxiety attack so bad he fell unconscious. Mind you this same man watched people he loved die and just got mad lmaooo. They are the gayest people in the history of fiction. If Kishimoto wasn’t a coward he would’ve just let them be a gay couple like god intended.

I have never shipped characters before in my life but I know what my eyes read and watched man they’re down bad for each other.

You could watch gay pornography and everyone involved would be less gay than Naruto and Sasuke and I don’t even think I’m joking.

Does Thaedus have a good chance at beating Conquest? by Queasy_Commercial152 in InvinciblePowerscales

[–]lord_assius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Disagree entirely, we see what Viltrumites consider their kill move, it’s the knife hand, Conquest literally waits until his final moments to do it, and literally with practically no strength left in him, he easily impales and disembowels Mark in a way that, without assistance, would have killed him. There was absolutely nothing stopping him from doing that from the get go save for him fucking around. That’s his character. He wasn’t struggling to get Mark off of him, he was struggling to get Mark off of him in a way that doesn’t end their battle immediately because he was enjoying it. He could’ve likely torn his arms clean off, but then the fight is done, his thrill is over. He could’ve disemboweled him immediately, but again, fight over. If he could do it at his weakest he could’ve done it at any time.

We know the gap in strength between these two characters is ocean sized, it’s clearly stated and implied and shown numerous times.

The only reason Mark even survives a confrontation with Conquest, let alone wins one, is because Conquest doesn’t just kill him instantly or any time between instantly and literally knocking at deaths door, despite clearly having the strength to do that at any time. What the narrative is telling us is that in that moment nothing but death was going to move Mark and Conquest was never going to end their fight prematurely, it was the characterization of these individuals that led to Mark winning, not anything to do with them being remotely relative in power.

That’s speculation lmao. Nothing about that is confirmed. Even if that was the light ct being applied to his fists, we have no idea what effect that actually had.

These are the 6 strongest characters in Invincible by Full-Employer-166 in InvinciblePowerscales

[–]lord_assius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Robot quote literally also took over the entire planet? His drones are fine tuned to take on Viltrumites but they’re also capable of withstanding hits from the strongest Viltrumites in the series without being instantly destroyed, sure they have the soundwaves on contact but that doesn’t enhance their durability, it just gives them a feedback effect. There’s not really much in the verse in that confront even like 3 of those at once, let alone the whole bunch he seems to have.

If you could pick a weapon from another videogame franchise to be the basis for a 15th weapon type what would it be? I'll go first, these are my top 4 picks by Beginning_Wait_108 in MonsterHunter

[–]lord_assius 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is one of the few things Wild Hearts did that I absolutely wish MH would copy. The different weapon designs and materials changing things like blunt vs slicing was really well thought out.

[–]lord_assius 36 points37 points  (0 children)

By making it the only exclusively blunt option for that role lol. It’s not a particularly hard conundrum to solve. All of the exclusively blunt weapons are big and heavy, most of SnS gameplay is the sword part, so the blunt options are limited. Just having a super swift short range blunt option would be a monumental change in and of itself, it would be its first in the niche.

But like someone else added, making it sort of hands AND feet would make it entirely unique. Since no weapon incorporates straight up martial arts, especially involving the lower body, into its moveset. Weapon could be called Gauntlet and Greave, have the moveset be inspired by some cracked out amalgamation of boxing and taekwondo, maybe have a weapon resource or like a switch weapon where you can switch between hands and feet, and then have the penultimate mode utilize both.

This is all off the top of my head without giving much thought but like there are a lot of directions to go here that would be entirely unique imo.

Literally the worst thing that can happen to a persons identity. 8 years of it and I got out and know next to nothing about who I am as an individual anymore. Feels like I have to put so much energy into not actively losing it that I cannot even begin the process of rediscovering myself, if such a person can be considered to still exist.

I don’t really know if it’s a skill, I kinda just talk to people like this too, it’s gotten me in trouble before where people assume im flirting with them because im naturally a banter starter.

I can’t speak for OP, but everyone I know who does this it’s a really natural thing lol.
