Why I won't verse equalize

Obviously the only correct answer is that I should use verse equalization when it nerfs the character I want to lose but not when it nerfs the character I want to win

Gonna be real Daffy Duck absolutely kicks Madara's ass

I knew verse equalization did not make sense when someone said naruto would ve able to use domain amplification to get past gojos infinity lmaoo

Verse Equalization is one of those things that proves how broken the power scaling system has become since it is full on operating under it's own rules and not the actual rules set by the respective stories.

I hate verse equalization. For example, when it's done with haki and chakra, usually biased debaters would use it to not only give someone resistance to Conqueror's Haki, but also try to say that since they'd most definitely have haki and all 3 types it'd be GGs. It's a crude example, but it happens. It's an excuse to take some advantages away while gaining some for your side of the conversation.

Verse Equalization only makes sense (for me) if you want to write a crossover fanfiction.

Suddenly, every frustrated vs battle argument I’ve ever had has come into memory. You’ve completely changed my mind lol

Verse equalization needs to be kept on a short leash. Magic goes with magic. Spirit goes with spirit. Science goes with science. Things like Chakra, which are reliant on extra parts, don’t go with anything. Devil fruits don’t go with anything either (their origins are still shrouded in mystery), but their elemental matchups (like magma > fire, rubber > lightning, etc.) still need to be taken into consideration.

Haven't watched the vid yet so I can make a guess and see how right or wrong I am. First, verse equalizing is done carelessly and used to give unfair advantages to characters or series. Second, the mechanics of a particular power system should not grant characters abilities they do not have, or interactions that should not be possible. Third, it is used to dismiss the discussion on how competing power systems would theoretically interact and is used as a shortcut to get to the meat of the discussion, the actual fight characters and fight itself.

One of the first and best explanations of this topic. Great work

I love this video, your points are incredible. I just feel like the example you chose at 11:13 was a little poor since we saw in Naruto and Boruto that the Rinnegan cannot absorb REAL sources of fire and lightning etc. That's why Sasuke's Kirin ability is so useful since it creates a real lightning bolt instead of chakra being molded into lightning. The logia users of one piece are all literally the element after all so if Ace were to blast Nagato with a flame fist, he would not be able to absorb it since it is not artificial fire. Love the video though <3

wish i could go back a day to rewatch his videos because they are amazing.

Honestly always enjoy your content, keep up the good work! Great explanation about the issue that many people don’t seem to understand about verse equalization

Now, there is something I think we can all agree on one thing: stats equalization is the most stupid thing ever, what's even the point of "power scaling" if we remove the "power"? Isn't that then just a battle of hax?

Have not seen your channel before, but you perfectly described the position I've had for a long time, so instant sub.

I 100% agree with the whole video but specifically the “if you equalize it automatically nerfs one side and raises another.” I remember a YouTube video I watched awhile ago where it was the seven warlords vs the akatsuki and almost every battle ended up being “in a normal fight it’s the warlords and in a equalized fight it’s the akatsuki.” That was just an example that I remembered as I watched the video.

My problem with equilazation is they often assign weaknesses to abilities from a universe that lack them because the opposing universe has them. The biggest one for me is saying you can break out of Aizen's Kyoko Suigetsu because you can break out of genjutsu. When Aizen's Kyoko Suigetsu doesn't possess the same baseline mechanics that allows people to break out of genjutsu. You come into a verses battle with your own weaknesses, you don't hoist new weaknesses onto your opponent.

This is a great video, man. Even though I partake in verse equalization myself, I have to admit it does gets frustrating whenever someone tries to equate certain power systems that have wildly different mechanics just because of superficial similarities.

Funally a person who understands that if a person has zero chakra they can't be put in a genjutustu because it manipulates the chakra in their body it's why madara couldn't do it to guy because his chakra was too violent

This is why i love your powerscaling, you actually make the fights accurate
