Dumb as **** btw but its worth noting he could easily catch her blade swings and there's a decent narrative arguement he's not in his primeI mean vendetta mid diffing doom fist
Doomfist, Primal Rage Winston (Base gets one-shot by Doom, so...), Vendetta (Beat an Out of Prime Doomfist?), and Mauga (1v1'd Doomfist in an all-out brawl to a complete draw), with Orisa being close behind those four.Like someone correct me if I'm wrong but current top tier heros are Doomfist, Winston, Genji, Vendetta, and there is an arguement for Orisa. Ilari and Sigma are featless
That just means he's a glass canon. Genji never used Dragon Blade on Doomfist tooDoomfist, Primal Rage Winston (Base gets one-shot by Doom, so...), Vendetta (Beat an Out of Prime Doomfist?), and Mauga (1v1'd Doomfist in an all-out brawl to a complete draw), with Orisa being close behind those four.
Genji only gets top tier status with Dragonblade, otherwise he was no-sold and one-shot by Doomfist.
That just means he's a glass canon. Genji never used Dragon Blade on Doomfist too
With his deflection feat against the titan omnic using his smaller sword and noncybernetic hand I think its pretty clear he's top tier strength wise
It makes sense, hes a ninja, strong and fast, etc
Damn, so top tier! We can watch as he literally cannot do any damage in real time!
You realize he's got no reason to scale to his sushiblade, right?Yeah he did jackshit with his shurikens and smaller sword, he doesn't use his Dragon Blade ult here. This potentially upscales Doomfist's durability, but I don't see how it locks Genji out of top tier territory given his other feats.
He's got no reason to scale to the sword he wields and swings? Also where in Storm Rising does it portray Genji being so much weaker?You realize he's got no reason to scale to his sushiblade, right?
Also, if he was a top-tier, he certainly didn't show it literally anywhere else, like him treating getting fisted by the maater fister much worse than Harambe did, or being portrayed as weaker than Harambe in Storm Rising.
a sword he wields and swings that is also portrayed as above all of his other shit and, let me remind you, is his ult in-game. Swords are allowed to be stronger than their users, and in fact IRL they usually are.He's got no reason to scale to the sword he wields and swings?
Perhaps Genji not having 500 health, not having the ability to stand in front of a Talon Heavy Assault without being downed in 0.5 seconds, and the fact he's comparable to Tracer. In fact, he's got more saying he's comparable to Tracer than he's got saying he's even sniffing Winton's ass in scaling, seeing as she's canonically his sparring partner.Also where in Storm Rising does it portray Genji being so much weaker?
Except we see Genji deflect the Null Titan's cannon shots back at it with his smaller sword and weaker hand, hard enough to damage its armor and stagger it enough to make it topple over.a sword he wields and swings that is also portrayed as above all of his other shit and, let me remind you, is his ult in-game.

Hey, does Reaper scale to how fast he can fire in Death Blossom? Does Winston scale to his Primal Rage self? If your answer to either of these is "no", which at least for Winston they 100% should be because Winston literally beat the guy that one-shot his base, your argument fails to hold water.

I'm assuming you meant >>>, but that's never what I was arguing. I said Genji was in the top tiers AP wise, not that he solo'd all of them. How many times do I have to clarify that?Oh, and for the record, part of what Doomfist was no-selling was Swift Strikes. So yeah, physical attacks. You ready to argue Dragonblade<<<Vendetta, Sound Barrier, Sonic Amplifier, Mauga, and Primal Rage Harambe?
Genji can be the point of scaling WITHOUT being a top tier.Except we see Genji deflect the Null Titan's cannon shots back at it with his smaller sword and weaker hand, hard enough to damage its armor and stagger it enough to make it topple over.
This is Vendetta to the Dragonblade with how your scaling would pan out.I'm assuming you meant >>>,
You're spouting Genji=Dragonblade. If you're not prepared to deal with the consequences of that, why bring it up?but that's never what I was arguing. I said Genji was in the top tiers AP wise, not that he solo'd all of them. How many times do I have to clarify that?
You're talking to a Blacksmith. Swords do not necessarily scale to their wielder. You can put a well-crafted two-handed sword clean through a human body or the skull, and it's possible with a one-hander if it's sturdy enough too. There's a reason standard European longswords are 9-C, not 10-B.So him cutting through its hand with his ult is already supported with his physicals, in this case his striking strength, so that argument just doesn't work because we straight up see its consistent.
Stagger=/=Cut something clean off. If you make Genji the point of scaling(which you CAN, IIRC the Torb mission in the Story mode you can eat shots from the Titan there), his blade would still be superior to his physicals, just not as much as it is right now.Not every ult ability is the same, some are physical abilities, some are gadgets, some are entirely unexplained. This is a nonsense false equivalence, because again, weve seen him perform feats on the same level when not using his ult.
Doomfist was a DPS first ya know. Also, I formally request that you find something scaling Genji above Winston. "He's a Glass Cannon!!!" shatters the instant you bring in Newton's third law.Also, gameplay mechanics and HP values is not at all a slamdunk. DPS Vendetta defeat tank Doomfist. In game a Widowmaker does more damage than a Dragon Blade slash, do we scale Widow to ******* 8A now?
hypothetically, yes, he can, but your arguments proving that's the case have been awfulGenji can be the point of scaling WITHOUT being a top tier.
This is Vendetta to the Dragonblade with how your scaling would pan out.
Any questions where I stand, now?
I'm saying Genji has other feats within the same realm as his Dragon Blade feats, meaning the notion he doesn't at all scale to it physically is blatantly untrue.You're spouting Genji=Dragonblade. If you're not prepared to deal with the consequences of that, why bring it up?
Sure, swords can scale above their wielder. I'm not arguing Genji can break the Dragon Blade over his knee, I'm arguing that he is not separated to its scaling to the extent you are arguing it to be. You need to put enough force into a sword swing to properly cut through anything.You're talking to a Blacksmith. Swords do not necessarily scale to their wielder. You can put a well-crafted two-handed sword clean through a human body or the skull, and it's possible with a one-hander if it's sturdy enough too. There's a reason standard European longswords are 9-C, not 10-B.
I argued he has shown physical feats on the same level. If you want to argue him cutting through its hand is more impressive then fine but those two feats are absolutely in the same ballpark.Stagger=/=Cut something clean off. If you make Genji the point of scaling(which you CAN, IIRC the Torb mission in the Story mode you can eat shots from the Titan there), his blade would still be superior to his physicals, just not as much as it is right now.
He's not anymore. You tried to use the gameplay argument that because Winston has more HP because he's a tank that's concrete proof that he's in an entirely different league than Genji, I pointed out that's dumb. You pointing Doomfist was a DPS first out only furthers how much of a nothing point that is.Doomfist was a DPS first ya know.
I formally request you find where I said Genji>WinstonAlso, I formally request that you find something scaling Genji above Winston.
How? Explain how? That just means Doomfist's gauntlet scales above Genji's deflection feat. Like if you don't want him to be a glass cannon than fine but pointing to Genji getting hit with the verse's most powerful weapon when he couldn't defend himself is not a slam dunk argument."He's a Glass Cannon!!!" shatters the instant you bring in Newton's third law.
Concession accepted that Genji is not as strong as his Dragonblade.I know where you stand, I just find it nonsensical. For the fourth fcking time, exactly where Genji places among the top tiers was irrelevant. This string of logic of 'Doomfist tanked swift strikes and Vendetta cut off a rusty Doomfist's arm so therefore she scales above the thing Genji never ******* used against Doomfist' is profoundly illogical
I'll defer to you though for if that'd be fine or not, since two feats to scale 95% of a verse can be iffy.snip
lmaoThis is Genji vs a Top Tier. His "glass cannon" self can't even put a damn scratch on him.
Anyways, I'm tired. Find someone to argue with that perhaps doesn't look at current Overwatch and shakes their head in shame. I'm gonna go back to verses and characters with actually usually good writing, and if I feel like it tomorrow, I'll laugh at this convo and just not respond.
Never argued he was superior to it, but he clearly has feats that put his physicals in the same ballpark.Concession accepted that Genji is not as strong as his Dragonblade.
In speed, sure, but if you have any Tracer feats where she is deflecting massive energy cannon blasts with her sword swings hard enough to make null titans stagger than I'd love to see it.Genji has nothing saying he's stronger than everyone else, he's comparable to Tracer,
Sure, I can do that.who's comparable to all these other *****, and chainscaling goes from there. If you want to push for it, find that thread that a standard for Volcanos was established that I made for OW, combine that with Genji's feat, and try to upgrade them to IIRC Low 7-B.
Still ends with "Low 7-B, higher with Dragonblade", so...Never argued he was superior to it, but he clearly has feats that put his physicals in the same ballpark.
...Did... did we just not read the uprising comic...? Or listen to multiple interactions...? They spar regularly. IIRC he spars with Brigitte too.In speed, sure, but if you have any Tracer feats where she is deflecting massive energy cannon blasts with her sword swings hard enough to make null titans stagger than I'd love to see it.
Uh, 'higher with Dragonblade' means it's still in the same tier as Low-7B, which backs up what I was arguing. So thanks?Still ends with "Low 7-B, higher with Dragonblade", so...
Genji says Tracer is the only one he has trouble keeping up with, clearing referring to her speed, and he compliments Brigitte on how hard she hits. Sure, they spar, but these are blatantly friendly playful interactions and it's highly unlikely that disciplined restrained controlled Genji is going all out against his friends. Tracer and Genji are comparable in speed because we seem them moving in tandem together during combat. Brigitte will need a bit more direct evidence but I'm not against a possibly rating....Did... did we just not read the uprising comic...? Or listen to multiple interactions...? They spar regularly. IIRC he spars with Brigitte too.

Sure was willing to pull out the Dragonblade and throw shuriken at Tracer though.Genji says Tracer is the only one he has trouble keeping up with, clearing referring to her speed, and he compliments Brigitte on how hard she hits. Sure, they spar, but these are blatantly friendly playful interactions and it's highly unlikely that disciplined restrained controlled Genji is going all out against his friends.
An interaction no longer in the game lolBut if you want to go down the voice line avenue, we can circle back to the voice line where Genji is not at all worried about fighting Doomfist again.
They would objectively be comparable if it was a 'Low 7-B, higher with Dragonblade' rating.Never argued they couldn't be in the same tier, only that they are not in any way comparable
Do... do you think that every time he pulls out the Dragonblade katana he is ulting?Sure was willing to pull out the Dragonblade and throw shuriken at Tracer though.
Okay, then my point still stands, Tracer is only comparable to Genji in speed, and Brigitte will need more than a playful voice line to get direct scaling to Genji.An interaction no longer in the game lol
You can be in the same tier without being comparable. Comparable implies relativity, and there ain't none here.They would objectively be comparable if it was a 'Low 7-B, higher with Dragonblade' rating.
A Katana is still a two-handed killing machine on an unarmored target like Tracer. So yeah, he can 1000% be serious in a spar, otherwise, he wouldn't be pulling out the same kind of weapon that practically KILLED HIM.Do... do you think that every time he pulls out the Dragonblade katana he is ulting?
Except oops, he can be in pain from her shots, and he's fully willing to bust out a damn sword for spars.Okay, then my point still stands, Tracer is only comparable to Genji in speed,
And what puts Genji above everyone else?and Brigitte will need more than a playful voice line to get direct scaling to Genji.
Except we have explicit feats showing his physicals are in the same ballpark. Have we been here before? I think we've been here before.You can be in the same tier without being comparable. Comparable implies relativity, and there ain't none here.
so you admit it wouldn't make sense for him to be trying to kill her?A Katana is still a two-handed killing machine on an unarmored target like Tracer. So yeah, he can 1000% be serious in a spar, otherwise, he wouldn't be pulling out the same kind of weapon that practically KILLED HIM.
the ninja is using a sword in a spar? no wayExcept oops, he can be in pain from her shots, and he's fully willing to bust out a damn sword for spars.
featsAnd what puts Genji above everyone else?
do you want to actually engage in any of my arguments or do you want to shit out strawman after strawman?Hmm? Oh, the feat? Damn, guess he could have AKTUALLY just soloed Retribution with no need of aid from anyone else! He's the stwongest and...
No, given I've had to repeat myself on multiple occasions I don't think you actually grasp any of my points.Do you see where this entire line of logic falls apart?
yeah, and genji does shitThere's hardly any difference between low-tiers and top-tiers here, it's the ******* who are featless and the ******* who do anything.
What's more impressive? Staggering someone by punching them in the face or lopping their hand off? There is a right and wrong answer here. "Comparable" when I say it means the two can trade blows without there being a major difference in strength, or they can gore eachother(See Reinhardt and OR-14s). Genji sure as shit ain't on the exact level of the sushi blade.Except we have explicit feats showing his physicals are in the same ballpark. Have we been here before? I think we've been here before.
Do you admit that a sword is a lethal weapon?so you admit it wouldn't make sense for him to be trying to kill her?
And you want to know what happened to those goons? THEY DIED. And they're wearing armor, Tracer wasn't. Either Tracer can take the hits(or Genji judged that she could, since he also threw shurikens at her) or Genji was done with her shit at that moment, since this was well before they were friends.also wtf kinda logic is 'oh he got killed by a katana so he will never use one again unless he's trying to kill someone or is being serious' like no, that's a contrived argument. genji used his katana to dice up fodder talon goons, he can use it in a casual spar.
Want to know what Ninjas actually would use in a spar? A Bokken/Bokuto or a Shinai. A wooden sword, in other words. Genji pulled out a real live lethal weapon on Tracer, spar or not, he was using force WAY beyond casual levels.the ninja is using a sword in a spar? no way
I don't know, why do you think Genji is a top-tier when the only shit putting him on that level is something other characters can demonstratably survive? Keep in mind if they didn't, Low 7-B would hold no water and would be contradicted. So...feats
do you want to actually engage in any of my arguments or do you want to shit out strawman after strawman?
You realize that "I'm repeating myself" is like 90% of debating right? You aren't some genius scholar and your word isn't always irrefutable truth. Half the fun of the hobby is there being opinions other than your own, and that there's almost always no 100% correct answer.No, given I've had to repeat myself on multiple occasions I don't think you actually grasp any of my points.
Which is why he's currently 8-C, likely High 8-C. Because he's active in doing things.yeah, and genji does shit
Top-tier implies he's above basically everyone else. He ain't. Regular combat grade omnics can harm people comparable to him. For people not currently solidly High 8-C, there really isn't a scaling chain, everyone sort of scales to everyone in one way or another.and for someone who thinks there is hardly any difference between top tiers and low tiers you sure seem dead set on barring genji from top tier with glue and popsicle stick mish-mash arguments
Not when that someone is a massive armored mech with a long ass cannon for an arm. Shitty false equivalences knee cap any point you could try to make purely out of it being built on a illogical premiseWhat's more impressive? Staggering someone by punching them in the face or lopping their hand off? There is a right and wrong answer here.
Except we explicitly see him not use the Dragonblade to perform a feat comparable to him slicing the hand off. Is there a difference, sure, but it's not a major one."Comparable" when I say it means the two can trade blows without there being a major difference in strength, or they can gore eachother(See Reinhardt and OR-14s). Genji sure as shit ain't on the exact level of the sushi blade.
This is sophistry and you know it. Most shit can be a lethal weapon. Genji using his katana in a sparring match against Tracer does not at all prove he's being serious enough against her to justify her seriously scaling to his feats. She doesn't have anything else remotely approaching even Genji's Storm Rising or Doomfist animation stuff.Do you admit that a sword is a lethal weapon?
Tracer is above Talon goons. Cool. Also even if they 'weren't' friends, they were more or less co-workers, so its stupid for you to try and pretend Genji would've just tried killing her at any given moment.And you want to know what happened to those goons? THEY DIED. And they're wearing armor, Tracer wasn't. Either Tracer can take the hits(or Genji judged that she could, since he also threw shurikens at her) or Genji was done with her shit at that moment, since this was well before they were friends.
So Genji is exactly following irl ninja traditions? That's your argument. The ninja whose a cyborg with a spirit dragon blade isn't following exact ninja tradition? Like... what?Want to know what Ninjas actually would use in a spar? A Bokken/Bokuto or a Shinai. A wooden sword, in other words. Genji pulled out a real live lethal weapon on Tracer, spar or not, he was using force WAY beyond casual levels.
What can they survive or replicate? His reflection feat? Do you have evidence of that claim?I don't know, why do you think Genji is a top-tier when the only shit putting him on that level is something other characters can demonstratably survive?
Why would Low 7-B hold no water and be contradicted if the entire cast didn't for some reason scale to damaging the Null Titan?Keep in mind if they didn't, Low 7-B would hold no water and would be contradicted. So...
This 'oh every opinion is valid' shit is hogwash, you are either actively grasping at straws, or just creating strawmen of my points. And after you so confidently announced you were done and that you were so above the discussion you wouldn't bother replying anymore, you've dialed all that up to eleven.You realize that "I'm repeating myself" is like 90% of debating right? You aren't some genius scholar and your word isn't always irrefutable truth. Half the fun of the hobby is there being opinions other than your own, and that there's almost always no 100% correct answer.
Well he has an argument for Low 7-B based off the deflecting Null Titan cannon shots feat.Which is why he's currently 8-C, likely High 8-C. Because he's active in doing things.
Top tier implies he's among the top heros of the verse. So no, not basically everyone else, I had clarified multiple times there are others who can scale to him. He's above most of the cast due to demonstrating feats far above baseline heros.Top-tier implies he's above basically everyone else. He ain't.
Like who? Tracer? Who you have so definitely proved fully scales to his physical stats and not just his speed?Regular combat grade omnics can harm people comparable to him.
Okay, well they can be in High 8-C if they aren't top tier or don't have any scaling to those characters, this isn't groundbreaking.For people not currently solidly High 8-C, there really isn't a scaling chain, everyone sort of scales to everyone in one way or another.
Damn so can Primal Rage Winston. Hell you could technically get killed by rando goon mobs so those basic mobs scale to Doomfist now.Gonna quickly add that Genji is in three of the main story mission things and can be harmed there, and that if we disregard the gameplay there you lose 8-C entirely lol
Sigma is the strongest, Vendetta, Doomfist, Orisa, and Winston are at the top, Genji and Illari are near the bottomLike someone correct me if I'm wrong but current top tier heros are Doomfist, Winston, Genji, Vendetta, and there is an arguement for Orisa. Ilari and Sigma are featless
Except, you know, deflecting the Titan's artillery with that blade hard enough to blow a hole in its armorYou realize he's got no reason to scale to his sushiblade, right?
Im already working on it, combined with the other dozen tier 7 feats they have nowConcession accepted that Genji is not as strong as his Dragonblade.
Genji has nothing saying he's stronger than everyone else, he's comparable to Tracer, who's comparable to all these other *****, and chainscaling goes from there. If you want to push for it, find that thread that a standard for Volcanos was established that I made for OW, combine that with Genji's feat, and try to upgrade them to IIRC Low 7-B.
Ya see, I don't trust you to actually do what you say you'll do. It's why I'm willing to suggest someone else do it, because they may actually be done by 2027Im already working on it, combined with the other dozen tier 7 feats they have now
Neat. I dont recall asking for your opinion on the matter. Nor do i trust anyone else to do it properly.Ya see, I don't trust you to actually do what you say you'll do. It's why I'm willing to suggest someone else do it, because they may actually be done by 2027
