Yeah it was a little odd that they felt the need to resort to stats. Surely it would've been enough to show that Sephiroth was capable of overpowering Zak instead of delving into their respective character screens, especially when they'd just presented a Zak strength feat around the same magnitude as Vergil's. But as you say, right result.

How do you figure? it might tell you Seph is some vague value stronger, but not how much. The stats say how much stronger one is than the other, and the door feat tells you what those stat numbers mean outside an abstract.

Right, but as other people have said those stats don't even really tell us that. And sure for DB's purposes 'this feat is above Vergil's feat, and Seph is at minimum slightly stronger than him' may not give you any specifics, but it's more applicable than relying on stat-scaling in a fake memory.

It gives us how much stronger one is than the other, and the door says how strong the weaker of the two is. The rest is multiplication.
