Power Scaling made EASY

[00:00] what is power scaling is a question that

[00:03] is often asked by those unfamiliar with

[00:05] the concept but truthfully it's

[00:07] something you already do on a daily

[00:09] basis and you just don't know it how you

[00:11] may ask well let's talk about it now I'm

[00:14] sure everyone who is watching this video

[00:16] I can almost guarantee has once asked

[00:18] the question of who would win and who

[00:20] can blame you it has been a topic of

[00:22] conversation ever since the dawn of

[00:24] humankind whether your level of sports

[00:26] video games action movies or even if

[00:29] you're the typical person person that

[00:30] loves to measure themselves up against

[00:32] others you're probably subconsciously

[00:34] thinking about the most likely outcome

[00:36] between you and someone else duking it

[00:37] out which is just basic human instinct

[00:40] and that's essentially what power

[00:42] Skilling is in a nutshell since what

[00:44] you're doing is making a predictive

[00:45] model of a possible future between a

[00:48] contest of two opposing forces and just

[00:50] like any other means of making a

[00:52] scientific hypothesis we do this by

[00:55] utilizing all the present and available

[00:57] information about them in order to come

[00:59] to more precise conclusion or more

[01:02] specifically in regards to fictional

[01:05] power Skilling we observe the many

[01:07] different Feats and statements made

[01:09] about the two within a story to help you

[01:11] better predict an outcome but what are

[01:14] Feats and statements well Feats are more

[01:17] so the specific accomplishments made and

[01:19] or shown by the character while

[01:21] statements are simply written or stated

[01:24] declarations about them for example a

[01:27] fate would be seeing a character lift

[01:29] 100 lb while a statement would be saying

[01:32] he's the strongest guy in the gym now

[01:34] sometimes Feats and statements could be

[01:36] one and the same and it really depends

[01:38] on what's being shown or said to better

[01:40] analyze what the truth behind the matter

[01:43] really is which brings up the ever most

[01:45] important word in regards to these types

[01:47] of conversations which is context as

[01:51] context not only determines what the

[01:53] circumstances were that led to said feed

[01:55] or statement occurring but it's what

[01:58] provides us with enough information to

[02:00] determine what is most likely the truth

[02:03] behind what's occurring for those

[02:05] unaware context is defined as the

[02:08] circumstances that form the setting for

[02:10] an event statement or idea and in terms

[02:13] of which can be fully understood and

[02:15] assessed for example if this one random

[02:18] dude at the gym says he can lift as much

[02:20] as the muscle bro in the corner or run

[02:22] as fast as the track girl on the

[02:23] treadmill if you don't actually know who

[02:26] he is and what he's capable of you have

[02:29] no way of BU if Ying this declaration of

[02:31] strength and speed without having him

[02:33] demonstrate or prove himself however if

[02:36] you were given his background info or

[02:38] the context of who he really is you

[02:41] would have enough information to

[02:42] determine whether or not he's telling

[02:44] the truth without having to wait or ask

[02:47] him to prove his strength and sometimes

[02:49] we have to have these types of

[02:51] discussions Whenever there are two

[02:53] popular characters that haven't even

[02:54] fought within their own respective

[02:56] series and especially when two

[02:58] characters that don't exist in the same

[03:00] series that we would want to know who

[03:02] would more likely win if they were to

[03:03] fight since an official crossover where

[03:06] both series merge the cannon is unlikely

[03:08] to happen if not impossible these types

[03:11] of discussions are called inverse

[03:13] scaling and crossers scaling with one

[03:16] more delving into the rules and scaling

[03:18] between characters inside their own

[03:19] series while the other delves more into

[03:22] the exact quantifications and

[03:24] measurements of a character's abilities

[03:26] and strengths in order to better compare

[03:28] them outside their own series series now

[03:31] there's a lot of nuance when discussing

[03:33] the differences between these two types

[03:34] of scaling which you can find out in my

[03:36] first original video what is power

[03:38] Skilling or wait for a future video if

[03:41] you're interested and before we end this

[03:44] quick video I figured it be best to

[03:46] address the power Skilling Subs crowd

[03:48] for a second or as we have dubbed them

[03:51] as the anti- power skillers now whether

[03:54] or not you like to engage within power

[03:56] Skilling discussions is up to you and

[03:58] honestly you're not at all required to

[04:00] be from the community to power scale or

[04:02] be a power scaler especially since I

[04:04] said at the start of the video Power

[04:06] scaling isn't only limited to fiction it

[04:09] is not a concept you can simply pretend

[04:11] it doesn't exist just because you want

[04:13] to disassociate from it and yes the term

[04:16] itself power scaling is most often

[04:19] associated with scaling fictional

[04:21] characters but the idea of asking the

[04:23] question who would win is what it stems

[04:25] from if you ever talk about stuff like

[04:27] that you're actively engaging with it

[04:30] whether you want to admit it or not it's

[04:32] like saying you don't think math exists

[04:34] or hate math but then are asked a simple

[04:36] math problem and you answer you just use

[04:39] math and look I get it the community

[04:42] isn't the best and it gets incredibly

[04:44] toxic at times but what community

[04:46] doesn't when it comes to standing for

[04:48] your home team or whoever you favor the

[04:51] most this type of behavior isn't only

[04:54] exclusive to just the versus Battle or

[04:56] power Skilling communities and I think

[04:58] it's unfair to C everyone who power

[05:00] scills under the same lens and it's even

[05:03] worse to blame them for your inability

[05:05] to have your own opinions about the

[05:07] series and a power Skilling aspect yes

[05:10] there are some people that take this too

[05:12] seriously and yes there are some who

[05:14] take it too far no one denies that

[05:16] you're not better than everyone because

[05:18] you don't engage in a children's

[05:20] playground conversation just because you

[05:23] don't play of kids toys anymore doesn't

[05:25] make you any more or less mature than

[05:27] everyone else it's how you engage and

[05:29] present yourself within these

[05:30] conversations that determine your

[05:32] maturity in conclusion power Skilling is

[05:35] us trying our best to use the

[05:37] information available to us to make a

[05:39] possible future prediction or predictive

[05:41] model to answer the question who would

[05:43] win that's pretty much the general gist

[05:45] of it of what power Skilling is and if
