QuakingStar wrote: The stats were not flawed, they just weren't specific enough, they worked on a tier system and only cover base stats and to give exact stats for every character would be too hard so it was dropped after DB3. Kishi himself made the stat system. He decided who in base form was at what tier in whatever subject and P1 Neji was smarter faster and stronger than P1 Sasuke.

"Its so funny that people bring up the databooks (QuakingStar, Tau, etc) like the manga or anime doesn't exist, as if there is no proof in them." It's not funny, you're just salty. Do YOU even realize what the databooks are and what their purpose is? Yes there is flaws, but the whole damn books are not flawed, there are only certain things in them that are. The stats in DB2 and DB3 were not wrong at all, except for one certain flaw and that would be Choji regressing in seal knowledge by half a tier. I know not every single thing is flawed in the databooks but most of it is. The databooks have again and again contradicted the manga. The best thing its good for is character names and jutsu ranks. I know the stats are atbase form. I could care less if Kishi made the "stat system", he messed up several times. I could give you a long list of his errors that came from the databooks. For instance, Kisame has a 4 for speed and Guy a 5, yet Kisame kept up perfectly fine. Kakashi had a speed of 4.5 while Hidan had a 3.5 yet Hidan was on him. Kakashi had better speed and taijutsu than Kakuzu (according to the databooks) yet he was not winning in the close combat confrontation. Its a lot more I can go off of but I'm afraid I'm getting off subject here. Point is the databooks are hardly reliable when it comes to finding a person's strengths and weaknesses among other things and this is factual. Nobody is salty. I'm being practical. Use colkd heart facts seen through the series instead of the cheap way weith and most likely it being flawed. Anyways lets just move on.
