Azmuth's a whole different case. He's even smarter than an Ultimate Galvan, which already implies he's beyond what the race can even evolve to.
Well yes, but actually no, we don’t know how the Ultimatrix works (Unless you want to appeal to WoG, but that would only do more harm than good since according to Dwayne, an evolved alien is just a simulation of if you placed a normal alien in the harshest environment possible and left it to evolve for a million years, meaning it would almost always only evolve physically to survive in these environments), so there’s no reason to say that an evolved Galvan would be incomparably above a normal Galvan in terms of intelligence (no, Albedo’s self-ego stroking does not count as evidence)
Besides, even with that aside, base Albedo seems to be much more intelligent than Graymatter; outside from the fact he overwhelmingly has MUCH better IQ feats, there’s also the fact that despite being genetically linked to Ben and all his other transformations, Albedo’s Galvan transformation turns him into his original Galvan body instead of Graymatter, and his intelligence does not visibly increase while transformed as a Galvan, implying the Omnitrix actively recognizes that his current intelligence as already superior
Eh? Four Arms beat the crap out of Looma with 3 attacks, and Loma was more powerful than ger entire race in 1 one versus every other members of the species at the same time.
Already addressed this in another comment comment
Fourarms was lwk getting his ass whopped until he used a massive piler as a weapon to knock Looma out (even Rook mentioned that Fourarms "couldn't take much more of this"), so it doesn't really put him on par with her, it's like if i knocked out a stronger opponent with a baseball bat, it shouldn't put me on par with them
Also, when did Looma solo her entire race? I don't remember that at all...
Whampire also defeated Lord Transyl in a matter of seconds, who's was the most powerful and royal leader of the entire Vladat race.
When was Lord Transyl stated to be the most powerful Vladat? Just because your the leader of race doesn’t inherently mean you’re the peak of the race
Buzzshock overpowered a forcefield that the entire population of Megawatts couldn't breach by themselves, and a big etc.
I'm not actually sure what particular instance you're referring to, could you give the show + episode and season number?
Excuse me? The Omnitrix has detected the variability between two Gourmands just because they LOOK different, but are genetically speaking the exact same race. The Omnitrix is detecting it, that's out of discussion.
What says they're genetically the exact same? The Purk and Murk are a completely different subspecies of Gourmand, saying they're genetically identical is like saying we're identical to Nethirthals, it just isn't true, Viltrumites on the other hand seem to have nothing distinguishable from humans aside from the fact they're implied to lack/don’t benefit off adrenaline, even they’re powers isn’t really a genetic thing since it comes from their atoms rather than DNA
Sure, Ben will not know all those techniques just by turning into him, but he has his own tricks based on his bigger and wider experience as a superhero, and he's been shien replicating the techniques of different species that he never saw before or didn't even know his aliens could do.
Diamondhead was overpowered by Tetrax in OS despite Diamondhead canonically being stronger and Clockwork was overpowered by Maltruant in OV despite being upgraded, Ben is very prone to being beaten in same species battles even while having big advantages due to skill gaps (Well, outside of the Dyawn Mcduffie era since the recalibrated Omnitrix and Ultimatrix seemed to give him instant knowledge on the species he transformed into)
Also, something like Mark's ear clap technique would end the fight instantly if Mark landed a clean hit with it, giving Ben no time to adapt
With what purpose, exactly? Everything in the verse is Ben scaling to it directly, not from "As the best member of the race, he should be able to do this". Actually, most of other samples scale from Ben.
There's no intention with downgrading the Verse with the potential CRT, it be just to remove this outdated information, i do think a lot of Verse needs a downgrade though, specifically with the Tier 3-4 stuff, but that would be a discussion for another time
