[0:00] what is power scaling is a question that
[0:03] is often asked by those unfamiliar with
[0:05] the concept but truthfully it's
[0:07] something you already do on a daily
[0:09] basis and you just don't know it how you
[0:11] may ask well let's talk about it now I'm
[0:14] sure everyone who is watching this video
[0:16] I can almost guarantee has once asked
[0:18] the question of who would win and who
[0:20] can blame you it has been a topic of
[0:22] conversation ever since the dawn of
[0:24] humankind whether your level of sports
[0:26] video games action movies or even if
[0:29] you're the typical person person that
[0:30] loves to measure themselves up against
[0:32] others you're probably subconsciously
[0:34] thinking about the most likely outcome
[0:36] between you and someone else duking it
[0:37] out which is just basic human instinct
[0:40] and that's essentially what power
[0:42] Skilling is in a nutshell since what
[0:44] you're doing is making a predictive
[0:45] model of a possible future between a
[0:48] contest of two opposing forces and just
[0:50] like any other means of making a
[0:52] scientific hypothesis we do this by
[0:55] utilizing all the present and available
[0:57] information about them in order to come
[0:59] to more precise conclusion or more
[1:02] specifically in regards to fictional
[1:05] power Skilling we observe the many
[1:07] different Feats and statements made
[1:09] about the two within a story to help you
[1:11] better predict an outcome but what are
[1:14] Feats and statements well Feats are more
[1:17] so the specific accomplishments made and
[1:19] or shown by the character while
[1:21] statements are simply written or stated
[1:24] declarations about them for example a
[1:27] fate would be seeing a character lift
[1:29] 100 lb while a statement would be saying
[1:32] he's the strongest guy in the gym now
[1:34] sometimes Feats and statements could be
[1:36] one and the same and it really depends
[1:38] on what's being shown or said to better
[1:40] analyze what the truth behind the matter
[1:43] really is which brings up the ever most
[1:45] important word in regards to these types
[1:47] of conversations which is context as
[1:51] context not only determines what the
[1:53] circumstances were that led to said feed
[1:55] or statement occurring but it's what
[1:58] provides us with enough information to
[2:00] determine what is most likely the truth
[2:03] behind what's occurring for those
[2:05] unaware context is defined as the
[2:08] circumstances that form the setting for
[2:10] an event statement or idea and in terms
[2:13] of which can be fully understood and
[2:15] assessed for example if this one random
[2:18] dude at the gym says he can lift as much
[2:20] as the muscle bro in the corner or run
[2:22] as fast as the track girl on the
[2:23] treadmill if you don't actually know who
[2:26] he is and what he's capable of you have
[2:29] no way of BU if Ying this declaration of
[2:31] strength and speed without having him
[2:33] demonstrate or prove himself however if
[2:36] you were given his background info or
[2:38] the context of who he really is you
[2:41] would have enough information to
[2:42] determine whether or not he's telling
[2:44] the truth without having to wait or ask
[2:47] him to prove his strength and sometimes
[2:49] we have to have these types of
[2:51] discussions Whenever there are two
[2:53] popular characters that haven't even
[2:54] fought within their own respective
[2:56] series and especially when two
[2:58] characters that don't exist in the same
[3:00] series that we would want to know who
[3:02] would more likely win if they were to
[3:03] fight since an official crossover where
[3:06] both series merge the cannon is unlikely
[3:08] to happen if not impossible these types
[3:11] of discussions are called inverse
[3:13] scaling and crossers scaling with one
[3:16] more delving into the rules and scaling
[3:18] between characters inside their own
[3:19] series while the other delves more into
[3:22] the exact quantifications and
[3:24] measurements of a character's abilities
[3:26] and strengths in order to better compare
[3:28] them outside their own series series now
[3:31] there's a lot of nuance when discussing
[3:33] the differences between these two types
[3:34] of scaling which you can find out in my
[3:36] first original video what is power
[3:38] Skilling or wait for a future video if
[3:41] you're interested and before we end this
[3:44] quick video I figured it be best to
[3:46] address the power Skilling Subs crowd
[3:48] for a second or as we have dubbed them
[3:51] as the anti- power skillers now whether
[3:54] or not you like to engage within power
[3:56] Skilling discussions is up to you and
[3:58] honestly you're not at all required to
[4:00] be from the community to power scale or
[4:02] be a power scaler especially since I
[4:04] said at the start of the video Power
[4:06] scaling isn't only limited to fiction it
[4:09] is not a concept you can simply pretend
[4:11] it doesn't exist just because you want
[4:13] to disassociate from it and yes the term
[4:16] itself power scaling is most often
[4:19] associated with scaling fictional
[4:21] characters but the idea of asking the
[4:23] question who would win is what it stems
[4:25] from if you ever talk about stuff like
[4:27] that you're actively engaging with it
[4:30] whether you want to admit it or not it's
[4:32] like saying you don't think math exists
[4:34] or hate math but then are asked a simple
[4:36] math problem and you answer you just use
[4:39] math and look I get it the community
[4:42] isn't the best and it gets incredibly
[4:44] toxic at times but what community
[4:46] doesn't when it comes to standing for
[4:48] your home team or whoever you favor the
[4:51] most this type of behavior isn't only
[4:54] exclusive to just the versus Battle or
[4:56] power Skilling communities and I think
[4:58] it's unfair to C everyone who power
[5:00] scills under the same lens and it's even
[5:03] worse to blame them for your inability
[5:05] to have your own opinions about the
[5:07] series and a power Skilling aspect yes
[5:10] there are some people that take this too
[5:12] seriously and yes there are some who
[5:14] take it too far no one denies that
[5:16] you're not better than everyone because
[5:18] you don't engage in a children's
[5:20] playground conversation just because you
[5:23] don't play of kids toys anymore doesn't
[5:25] make you any more or less mature than
[5:27] everyone else it's how you engage and
[5:29] present yourself within these
[5:30] conversations that determine your
[5:32] maturity in conclusion power Skilling is
[5:35] us trying our best to use the
[5:37] information available to us to make a
[5:39] possible future prediction or predictive
[5:41] model to answer the question who would
[5:43] win that's pretty much the general gist
[5:45] of it of what power Skilling is and if
