Apparently, you were too hasty and made an incorrect (half-truth) conclusion on the subject of what "verse equalization" actually is even when they explain it. I actually did have prior knowledge on this unironically.
There is no subject for "stat" equalization which would just be equalization. Even in the same definitions for equalization and verse equalization they include the same thing with the excluded exception that verse equalization includes equalization, but add in verse mechanics (not energies) such as Haki and Chakra. Your own scans prove this.
This is the sole point of verse equalization. You have equalization already but you're adding verse mechanics to the subject so it's not solely mechanics their talking about. Not to mention your scans are talking about attacks as well which are outside mechanics such as Chakra, Haki, etc (any of the sort). Seems like cherry-picking to me but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
First off I need to address powers to you. Powers are self explanatory just the abilities of the characters here. When they're equalized as the definition is suggested, their level is equalized as well and this can go for special based powers or just general physical powers. It's defined as physical even if you want to properly interpret that but that's the point of a equalization.
Your third scan says the exact same thing.
Second, your whole point of it only being energies is contradicted as they quite literally say "or"... Powers or energies which powers was already elaborated on but your same information source states the exact same for equalization which is "having the same equal speed, energy, and or power". They're quite defined the same and the same.
Moving on to your vsbw scan, at the bottom it talks about equalization itself taking place alongside Verse Equalization. And the definitions you're using contextually and specifically talk about exactly what the USER sets in place for the definitions here as it should since it's my poll. I already set in place what the general concept of what verse equalization would be for this poll so you're essentially beating a dead horse.
By `powers` or `energies` all the sources specifically mean energy types as chakra, ki, or Reiatsu. This is made evident not only by the examples they cite in the pages, but also the threads they are used in all those communities.
Saying equalizing 'powers' can mean equalizing physical stats in this context is nothing more than arguing semantics.
But well if you want to redefine the whole term and assign your own meanings by trying to fit new conceptions into it, then by all means be my guest.
By "energies" they specifically already declare it's like the same concept like Haki and Chakra, all that. But they separate 'powers' because powers in fiction are abilities, not verse energy concepts. They separate both the meanings by saying "or" which means they're completely different and if they were the same they would've linked them together. They already addressed it as the main word that they used and that was energy.
The consistent definition backed up by the same contextual word used in equalization uses powers the same way verse equalization does. They include each other as proven. It's self evident what powers is too.
Not really. I already displayed what powers are and it's self evident that it's abilities characters used being equalized together so they don't stomp each other. This is contextually what the entire text and meaning of what the word is.
Ngl i think bro was supposed to add stats equalization rather than verse equalization, Doffy negs even with VE
Stats equalization is verse equalization. If we went with what you said Hiruzen wouldn't stand a chance due to logia intangibility.
VE is the equalization of the way the abilities work being equalized somewhat (EX. Chakra = Ki, Shinigami are visible to normal ppl, Logia aren't intangible anymore, Demons can be killed without Nichirin) just so that the fight wouldn't be too unfair due to hax. Stats equalization is literally the equalization of stats, (speed is equalized, strength is equalized, ETC)
So did you just not read any of this? I already addressed how they're similar to each other and that they're the same thing. Powers is quite literally what sets their abilities together and their powers are reflected off speed, physical capabilities, nonphysical attacks, etc so it's the same. The definitions you used already explained the exact same thing as I just proved. There is no page on "stat" equalization because verse equalization and equalization itself compliment each other as the same thing that include each other. VE is primarily about verse mechanics being the same, but you don't know that it also includes equalization with stats.
Once again, I see hastiness over a subject that was already clarified against. Even after these same very scans talk about what the user puts in place for the polls and what the rules are for, it's just cherry picking unless you haven't read the entire source of information.
Spent the entire time arguing about the semantics of the conditional and did not actually address the topic.
True, but there aren't any arguments for Hiruzen here.
Were not really any arguments in general, which I find amusing.
What do you think?
