Oh yeah, I definitely get it, but I see it as a fun exercise. I know it’s impossible to truly quantify, but sometimes just forcing yourself to simplify all your opinions/feelings/judgments on a matter down to a single number, giving it a grade, or multiplier, gives folks on the outside another avenue to try to understand the differences between the offerings. It helps sometimes.
Like a Metacritic score on a video game. It’s all subjective of course, and everyone has their own criteria, and maybe it’s pointless to even try to put a number on a work of art, but we do it anyway, and I’ve found those scores to be pretty helpful at times.
When someone tells me he went on a date with an 8 last week, and then went on a date with a 10, somehow that still registers something powerful in my brain, even when beauty is subjective, and based on a million different factors and preferences. We tend to powerscale everything, even when it doesn’t make sense to do so. There’s something very human about it.
I think it’s why anime fans endlessly obsess and debate over the comparative power levels of different characters throughout different story arcs and chart them out. It’s human nature.
So, simply take this as a question from a fan of the Sub Club universe. For the folks who’ve experienced the three main categories–Major, Custom, QTKS–how do they compare to each other?
If you guys just had to put a number/multiplier on it, even knowing the number doesn’t really mean anything, what would it be?
If this is too hard, Dragon Ball metaphors are acceptable, lol
