Memes and Joke Matchups What's the worst example of this?

This is how I feel about a lot of Alastor matchups, especially Alastor vs Calypso which I just learned about today

Literally and uzi MU

It's either she Slaughters or gets slaughtered and it's really unfortunate because she is so much potential but her matchup spread is

ASS

What do you think of Uzi vs Penny (RWBY)?

Two antisocial teen bots find unlikely friends and along the way gain powers beyond their comprehension.

Uzi certainly out scales Penny in power output but Penny is more then capable of one shoting Uzi in return, their speed tiers are very even as far as im concerned, and their versatile tool kits make for overall decent fight potential.

It's very much glass cannon vs glass cannon which we don't have enough of.

Nope, Murder Drones gets to Planet Level which nobody in RWBY scales to.

I feel like you neither read a single word I said or fully understand the why and how of MD's scaling.

Scaling higher in power matters little when they can oneshot you back. It's like two street level guys fighting, doesn't matter if one's carrying a pistol and the other's carrying a missile launcher both still kill.

No one's shown destroying a whole planet in one move in MD either, at most we see Cyn blasting a continent to small moon level of mass off Copper 9 WITH massive prep.

Null is the strongest ability on hand and is mostly reliant on being anti material mostly being island to subcontinent level in explosive yield.

None of the Solvers other abilities scale anywhere close being building level at best.

We literally see drones throwing punches that send shockwaves across entire planets not to mention literally everybody, even minor characters, survived their planet exploding.

So yeah. Penny is screwed.

u/Chemical_Raccoon2778 Feb 12 '25

Um, no!? The only things that sent such shockwaves was again Uzi and Cyn's Null attacks, I'm puzzled where you even pulled that out from.

And I wouldn't call that last one a feat at all, it was less of a blast and more that a tectonic plate was just popped off. The building Teacher was in held together just fine an even the school bus was relatively unbothered. Don't be here trying to convince me a SCHOOL BUS has planet level durability.

The tectonic plate wouldn't be hitting the bus or the teacher, it would instead be getting an incredibly small portion. Thats like arguing a real life earthquake is only human level because humans survive it....

...that said, they also don't scale to the blast because, again, much smaller blast radius, so you're right on that overall. (That said, we see Cyn catch a null and she's physically relative to the rest of the cast, those same nulls cause the big cloud parting shockwaves , so theres your higher scaling for you. That said, it's fair to say "that's just her catching it with the solver powers, she shouldn'y physically scale" and to that I say, agree to disagree.)

Have a good day, i genuinely really appreciate you scaling MD without glaze or downplay cus jesus the scaling scene for it is so fucking toxic.

Thank you, it's good to hear that at least someone was listening~

It's rough hitting a brick wall of a debate, but it seems like a natural instinct to upscale that people just can't comprehend down scaling to reason.

Good day to you to!

It's fiction, it's absolutely possible for a School Bus to have Planet Level Durability because it's not realistic and it isn't trying to be. Don't try to use realism on show about murderer vampire robots, please.

u/Chemical_Raccoon2778 Feb 12 '25

Realism? Psh I guess it's realistic compared to pulling feats out of you bum like you're doing.

Murder Drones has went out of it's way to show how frail it's world is, from Worker Drones being pierced by as little as a pen from an ordinary man to none of the architecture being anything impressive and it was consistent at this.

The chunk of the planet was flung off not really blown up, most of the buildings and pretty much everything that doesn't need air survived it.

There's no Easter Bunny, there's no Tooth Fairy, and there's no Murder Drones planetary level durability!

You do you, I guess.
