vs (running the gauntlet) Akiyama vs Usogui arcs with Minor Explanations [Akiyama will have every Advantage and Disadvantage of baku]

Post image
9 Upvotes

Abandoned Building Arc : Fails Very High Diff(+)

Akiyama might be able to defeat The Gunman and 3 Musketeers however he can’t defeat Rodem who is guided by Qtarou or charm Yakou .

Poker Shark : Passes mid Difficulty

Akiyama can reason put about the casino and if he accompanies kaji can make Nowa ensure a match between him and ikki after beating Aniki.

Hangman Arc : Fails High Difficulty

Akiyama can find a way to defeat Ikki after reasoning about the eyes however his won’t be as effective due to lack of enough manipulation (assuming Kurama’s contribution,which in all honesty wouldbnt be a thing),furthermore the missile will be launched either way as he wouldn’t be able to teach and make Marco overcome his past (partially) to be a able to beat Kyara.

Kaji’s Mother Arc : Fails Extreme Difficulty

Akiyama would be able to defeat Kaji’s mother but not make kaji overcome his trauma

Labyrinth Arc : Fails High-V.High (-) Diff

Akiyama can beat Yuukide but it’d be cutting a bit close and definitely not beat Amako and Minowa as he can’t : 1. Make Marco overcome his trauma to have him emerge from the chaos to beat Minowa,2. He can’t reason out Amako’s Synesthesia,3. He can’t reason or respond to the trap.

KY Declaration : Passes Mid diff(-)

Not to much to explain,he has enough SQ and such but he would fail the secondary task of making Mii Chan reveal Oshima’s crime thus making Oshima free.

Tower of karma : Fails Mid Diff(+)

He can’t beat Suteguma considering Baku’s condition,nor can he make Marco defeat Craig or prevent the money from being taken.

Protoporos : Fails Low Diff

Not much to explain,can’t resist lalo’s schemes or Hal’s plan to have him become Kaiser early. Air Poker : Fails Low-Mid Diff

He can’t beat lalo or reason about the nature of the game or motivate Hal .

STL : Fails No Diff

Not much to explain ,he can’t even revive from a near death.

Rules
1. Patrick and Dexter both work at CBI and Miami Metro but secretly form an alliance
2. They will keep their detective findings secret like in dexter
3. To ‘catch’ a criminal they don’t need to prove them in court. They need to outsmart the criminal and kill
him like dexter does

“In my youth I shined in the light of spring, horses trampled on flowers as fragrance of wine spread.

Love and hatred came with the waves, summer cicadas sang as I woke up in the middle of the night.

Planting red lotuses in the River of Time, going back in time with my tears run dry.

Through the vicissitudes of life I return to this stage, the myriad beings anticipate a life unbound by fate!”

Summary: Akane's "Perfect Future" plan will be measured against other schemes in SCD in terms of it's overall complexity. By "complexity" I simply mean how many elements to the plan they are, how many layers there are and how all those elements and layers interweave and connect with each other all in order to form one concrete plan/scheme.

VS X Strategy (Ayanokoji): Akane No Concept Of Diffs

VS Friendless Game (Yuuichi): Akane No Concept Of Diffs

Video by Tanvir.

With this, EOS Kang Jinhyuk should be First Saint level, meaning there are only a few more chinese character above him that isn't a fraud. And that's Niu Youdao, Lu Chen, Mu Zixuan, Mo Tan who are all basically on the same level.

Kang Jinhyuk almost cleared all the chinese characters by being above Chen Ran and Ang Xiao both around Very High Difficulty.

On this day Korean fiction was only a small margin away from reaching the very peak of methodology scaling of Intelligence...

Chen Ran appreciation post because he is lowkey underrated. Literally one of the smartest characters in fiction.

....

Okay that was a joke.

This was just my contribution since everyone is writing now😭✌️

But if it all goes well, these characters will arrive in the future.

As for my novel, truly the first step is the hardest step, I just did a lot of outlines and it's 5 chapters in length now, in terms of word count per chapter I can't decide whether I want 1200 or 1700.

Though I did write more chapters than the first five

but it is for later arcs.

As for scaling, I would let others do it and also criticize my writing once it releases.

1v1 Individually ofc. Also distribute the catagories they take against hal and give a brief about their feat from which arc start to finish.

IMO he clears all, except aki & akagi cuz I don't know shi about mahjong 😭 🙏 .

Chen Ran is only ch 256

The rest are main story EOS (current released).

Methodology: Chen Ran ch 256 >=< Akiyama > Tokuchi > Fang Yuan > Li Gang > Yuuichi > Light > Spectral Soul Demon Venerable Kill Path Theory > L >= Johan > Norman

Narrative: Li Gang > Spectral Soul Demon Venerable Kill Path Theory >> Chen Ran ch 256 >= Fang Yuan > Johan >= Tokuchi >> Yuuichi >=< Akiyama >= L >= Norman > Light

I'm a bit sleepy rn so the take might not be well thought out. The use of methodology in this post is defined as extradiegetic scaling of feat methodology and the use of narrative is defined as diegetic scaling of character outsmarting ability.
