So, I finally got my hands on a copy of this masterpiece on the steam port (Which started out awful but eventually was patched into quality), and it was really good. You know, save the part where I loaded it onto a new computer and the sound became this nightmare, but either way.
As I looked upon the profiles and the calcs again, with a bit more detail then before... I realized.
The calcs are utterly wanked.
Queen Zeal's moon sized mountains
So, this uses the world map to scale the mountains in Chrono Trigger to be the size of the moon. Which, is a bit absurd just as an opening, but this is a fantasy world, they can do what they want.
... That said, the same map also portrays the market place as being over 400 Kilometers long, something you can walk end to end of within the span of a few seconds
Seem like an exaggeration? Let me get an image I made way back.
The market is 11 pixels, divided by 1024 makes for a discrepancy of 0.0107421875
Times 40,075 km for the circumference would make for 430.493164063 Kilometers.
... For a normal medieval marketplace. Needless to say, the world map absolutely should not be used for feats like this, as if we do, we'd be utterly bloating the results to immense degree.
But wait, there are yet more.
The Day of Lavos
... Yet again, using the worldmap, which is horribly inconsistent. Case in point, it has the rocks, which are a bit smaller than lavos, clocking in at over 300 Kilometers across.
... Which is a bit weird, considering that when you actually go to throw down against Lavos, he's big, sure, but nowhere near the size of an entire country staring you in the face. It's not like there are many specific statements about how big he is in lore, I remember one statement about him being "Enormous", which, sure is a bit weird for something that's no bigger than an elephant, but it also really doesn't justify a continental size like what's suggested here.
Side note: This would also make Lavos distinctly not Class T in sheer size, but not like anyone cares about lifting in Lavos matches.
But wait, there is yet one last one that could maybe, possibly, save the 5-A ra- no.
Cross' Meteor Shower
Now, I haven't looked through Chrono Cross yet (nor do I have any idea why they'd scale to the cast of Trigger), so perhaps there's some better feat I don't know about however. This one, is not that feat.
So, the thing is apparently size of a forking continent based off a shot where it's extremely far away from earth and it's simply perspective distorting the sizes, you know, bigger things (like a planet) are smaller farther away. Once it actually reaches the enemies you're casting it on, it's like, a meter wide at best (which gets 7-B results)
But wait, I'm not just done destroying the AP. I have more.
a space flea rolls around at the speed of very fast
This is actually valid calc wise, but, I don't really see any reason this shouldn't just classify as travel speed. It's just Lavos picking out earth among the planets, and setting a course. You don't need high reactions to go through open space, much less if you've plotted a course ahead of time to make sure you don't crash into anything.
So now what
As for what they should scale to? All here
Individual blasts from the rain of destruction are 6-B, the party takes them to the face pretty easily. Sub Rel from the flight speed of something they're actually shown somewhat navigating.
