>Finally fills up a general discussion thread

We did it bois

 

[DMUA]

Iirc Augustine collapsed a massive concrete bridge using her powers, but not sure how to rate that. Also it would only scale to Concrete users

Didn't they do that via a strike or just generally something that isn't lifting?

The best lifting strength feat I can think of is Augustine making herself into a sizable concrete monster, but that's not all that heavy. I dunno how exactly heavy it would be, I'd need to calc it, but yeah

Also, I think Alden's feat might be inflated liftingstrength wise too

I should start calcing this stuff

 

[DMUA]

Also

this has aged in the worst way possible

 

[DMUA]

Actually, now that I've done a little bit of homework

even if they did move around the weight of an entire bridge, that's still only Class M

And even then, Alden only effected a portion of the bridge and his golem might be struggling to even get into Class 100 if I put my effort into calcing it

The Beast might not even be Class M, but, again, all these things require calcs

 

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

Also

this has aged in the worst way possible

That it did friend, that it did.

Anyway, about lifting strength, agreed. Me and the other guys who did the original verse revisions kinda rushed passed that. Though the class 5 is legit since Cole can toss around cars in the second game along with being able to bench press a Ravagers jaw open.

It's just the other stuff that needs calcs.

 

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

Also, David should probably get class K via ripping Conduits in half by tearing them up by their spines.

 

[DMUA]

Yeah

I think if I get to work tonight or tomorrow I could make a blog on all the good lifting feats (Alden making his thing, The Beast being big, and Augustine making her thing)

 

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

No rush

A good chunk of the verse is gonna need revisions, so we're probably better off going slow

Also I'm working on 2 other verse revisions

 

[DMUA]

wow, that was a long day, but it's finally tomorrow

That said, is there any good way that you guys can think of to measure John's sizability with? Cause I'm about to go forth with a pretty rough thing, but if there's anything else you can immediately think of, all ears are online.

User blogMUA/InFAMOUS: Various lifting strength feats

Whenever everyone's had a look and we've all said we can't do much more than this about it, I'll make the downgrade of downgrades

 

[Schnee_One]

What happened with lightning?

 

[DMUA]

Everything

Like, imagine everything that could possibly go wrong

That's what happened with lightning

More specifically...

>Current and Voltage were previously inflated by an absolute ton, using positive lightning instead of actual lightning. Bringing the right numbers lowered even EOS lightning to 7-B

>Using the blasts that lightning leaves behind doesn't cut it anymore whatsoever, as IRL, 1 inch wide lightning can leave a blast that's definitely bigger

>We don't even know if the equation makes sense whatsoever in retrospect

And that's the summary.

 

[Schnee_One]

<We don't even know

Whelp

We should start the downgraded now shouldn't we?

 

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

Something something worst day ever

So I'm guess lightning math is out the window? If so, I guess we're stuck with the Ray Sphere feat and the storm feats to scale.

Is it still worth checking out how Karmic Overload effects the ratings? Or does the lightning revisions make it not worth it?

 

[DMUA]

Considering the very formula as a concept is in question and Karmic retribution is an all out 100% attack anyways

Yeah I think making a CRT to downgrade AP and lifting is all we can do here

 

[DMUA]

Thread:3397010

 

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

I'm laughing cause I joked about this exact scenario happening months ago, but that's only because I know that when I stop I'm gonna start crying and never stop for the rest of my life.

 

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

On the plus side of these downgrades, now we can have inFamous vs OPM. That's bound to get some spicy stories.

 

[Schnee_One]

Do we? Is OPM high enough on the scale?

 

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

Iirc they have some scaling chains from a couple 12-30 megaton feats so it should be fine

 

[Schnee_One]

All I know is Vacuum man, who basically no one else scales too.

 

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

Yeah, you're probably right

 

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

Interesting concept that I got from Remnant: From the Ashes. Since we already know that Conduit animals exist (a concept that I really wished was explored more in the sequels), what if there were Conduit plants?

I could see it working like Remnant, but instead it's the RFR spread by the Beast and such that activates the Conduit gene in plants, lead to a whole plethora of issues.

 

[DMUA]

Well now I just want a game where you play as a dude with a conduit dog

 

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

That sounds cute as **** ngl

This happened

 

[LSirLancelotDuLacl]

"Imagine Cole pulling a Negi and becoming lightning itself, roiling and powerful storms coming wherever he went, thunder striking into the ground as he would appear at the impact point, lightning incarnated like a demi-god."

Mentioning what I said in the lightning calcs downgrade stuff because it feels like a really cool aesthetic for Cole in some sort of fanfic, or just in general.

 

[DMUA]

Yeah that would be cool

But it probably means they'd have to revive him with the lightning bolt that hit the ship at the end of inFAMOUS 2

 

[LSirLancelotDuLacl]

With years of time, I doubt a single statement could stop a single revival of such an ubiquitious character, honestly.

 

[DMUA]

Especially considering said character canonically has resurrection

His heart completely stopped after the original RSB, and came back online 5 minutes later

A bolt of lighting directly hitting him would likely charge him up to life, or maybe at least get him into a coma so he has an opportunity to wake up after the events of Second Son

 

[LSirLancelotDuLacl]

Welp, seems like I can't send the comment I wanted to initially. Wut?

 

[DMUA]

Cole does this in the Canon comics

 

[LSirLancelotDuLacl]

Yeah, I remember that scan from the first discussion thread.

 

[DMUA]

Either way reviving Cole is trivial if they feel the need to

 

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

Some people people get their powers from radioactive spider bites

Others, from scientific experiments

Some are even born with them

But Cole? He blew himself up and died for a few minutes in order to get his superpowers

 

[The_Wright_Way]

That's true in two ways.

 

[DMUA]

At least he died too fast to have crippling PTSD like Trigger events in Worm

 

[LSirLancelotDuLacl]

I mean, PTSD is like almost necessary unless you are a second gen Cape in Worm.

And then everyone wonders why there's more villains than heroes hue.

 

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

Not too mention he developed his powers via:

Electrocuting himself repeatedly

Absorbing Blast Cores which put such a strain on his body that he passed out from the pain

Getting the shit kicked out of him in fights

Having tar thrown on him to build up a tolerance

I guess Cole really learned to love the beating huh?
