So I have been thinking about this for a while now, and I feel like it needs to be addressed.
When we gave Sage mode a specific multiplier for it’s enhancements, why did we not do the same for the other various techniques that bolster one’s ability?
Some examples include the 8 gates, Tailed beast enhancements, and various other chakra modes that people have started putting together in order to make themselves the “Fastest” or the “Strongest” Kids on the playground.
I suggest we sit down and give these techniques a multiplier, just so we can have a more firm understanding of how fast or strong we actually are when compared to others using similarly natured boosts.
For those who would claim this to not be a relevant topic, we can look no farther than the Madara vs Shadow debacle. Their argument exemplifies the need to sit down and assign actual numbers so we may easily assess a situation opposed to giving half baked summations.
My suggestions are very rough draft, and I am welcome to suggestions that would appease the masses.
Gates: (Speed/Strength only)- First: x2
- Second: No boost, limited healing qualities
- Third: x2.5
- Fourth: x3
- Fifth: x3.5
- Sixth: x4
- 7th: x4.5
- 8th: x100+
Obviously this is a very rough estimation, but my logic is to maintain a bit of reason and fairness. We cannot exactly measure how much faster/Stronger Lee or Guy got without exhausting levels of research on par with that of some Screwattack videos, thus this is a simple alternative that would be easy to apply and remember for the layman.
Tailed beast enhancements. (Applies to Strength, Speed, and Chakra based abilities)- Initial form: x.5
- First tail: x2
- Second tail: x2.5
- Third tail: x3.5
- 4th tail: x5
- 5th tail: x6
- Sixth tail: x6.5
- Seventh tail: x7
- Eighth tail: x7.5
- Ninth tail (I.e Tailed beast cloak): x10
Now, I expect more arguments here than in gates, and that’s fine. My thought process is that there were obviously huge advancements in ability when looking at initial form - 4th tail, thus the more rapid expansion of power opposed to the 6th - 8th. When observing a Jink who utilized those forms without going into a full on transformation, it appeared that they were roughly similar to previous transformation in terms of how they were artistically portrayed. I think Killer Bee was the only one to use anything more than like...6 tails or something and that was in the fight with Kisame. During that fight, I only saw a mild enhancement of his power when compared to how he used only a 1 or two tailed form while fighting taka. So, I shot for that kind of scaling until the 9 tails cloak, which obviously gave some seriously ridiculous enhancements. I chose ten as to not break the system completely, but obviously this is very open for discussion.
EDIT: I do believe that the enhancements to one's chakra based abilities should be altered and discussed, because obviously we can't have a Chibaku tensei or some other massive attack increased 7 times over if they don that particular form.
Nature based Chakra Modes:- 5x enhancement. (Varies between chakra natures)
Now, obviously it’s kinda hard to put a number on these for a simple reason: everyone applies them differently. While the Raiton cloak makes you ridiculously fast, I think it’s the fire chakra mode that focuses solely on offensive and does not bolster your physical stats. Please don’t quote me on that, i’m merely going off what I remember off the top of my head. I would like the full cooperation of the community on this particular category.
So, go ahead and leave feedback based on what you think should be the value of each category. If I missed anything that needs focus, please leave the technique and what you believe the values should be so we may work off of that.
