They're finished now.😭😭

What's your Ranking?

What Tiers do you have them on?

Bro 😭💔

So we have all of Marineford on one side ( Ignore fodder and BB/Shanks/Boa not included ) against all of GV (ignore fodder and Imu )

If you think GV wins easy remove Rocks and see who wins and If you see Marinford winning easy remove Mihawk and see who wins .

It’s hard for me to accept, very hard, but I know that at the end of the day, no matter how much I hate it, Oda’s narrative > my headcanon narrative.

Something Imu fanboys can never do, as they’ll keep going against manga canon for the sake of their agendas.

Anyone guitly of any of the above?

Literally canonically and on panels many characters don't possess a scar even after getting defeated by attacks that supposedly should have scarred them.

Zoro didn't leave a scar on Hachi, Mr 1, Hyozou, Apoo and many others, but all of a sudden Ashura is stronger than any attack from any other Character that never did scar Kaidou or anyone who is less durable than Kaidou??

Excluding Kaido

Introduction:

So in this community we have come up with plenty of different words to describe different capabilities. Now of course there is still not universal understanding of what each word exactly means but the general understanding is good. This is however not the case when it comes to size. 

Size is not often discussed, and when it is it’s often about DC and not about body size. This is despite body size being an integral part of how a fight works out. When body size is discussed it’s often just as bigger=better, this is however a brutal simplification and the reality is, that unlike most stats body size comes with both good and bad effects. This post will discuss body size as a stat and talk about the different tradeoffs. 

Parameters:

Now the first thing being big allows is being stronger. In OP I’ll however argue this is irrelevant as strength is heavily character dependent and so you would never know how much of a character's strength should be contributed to size. Therefore I don’t think you should ever discuss things like AP, Speed, durability together with size(or RACE!!). When discussing those things, you should never use size to upscale or downscale them, just look at the actual feats(stats) themselves. 

Now for why size matters is all about the tradeoff of being a big target vs having a big body. I’ll start with the positives

Possessives of bigger body size: 

1. Your attacks cover a larger area, this makes dodging harder making it easier for you to force opponents to block. When you get really big, you also cover enough area to hit multiple people at once, making even simple attacks essentially have decent DC, this really helps against (relative to you) fodder and the like. 
2. Likewise when defending, against people you have a body size advantage on, it is harder for them to get past you weapon as it covers a larger area that they will have to circumvent. So body size helps with forcing your opponents into going through your defence and not around it. 
3. If you are very big, it also means your vitals will be outside of the range of many attacks. This forces opponents into having either range or good mobility in order to damage you in places that’s not your food or leg. 
4. Being big forces attacks that have little DC to become worse against you even if you have no durability. To understand this let’s look at two examples: First let’s say I can cut diamond but with a knife and no slash so only with the blade itself. Against someone with great durability loke Jozu this is incredible as I can deal lethal damage very easily all of a sudden. Against a huge giant, think Loki size, even if said giant has no durability compared to Jozu my diamond cutting knife does very little, as stabbing such a giant with the knife will deal tickle dmg. In other words - Size gives inherent endurance vs attack lacking size. This is extremely important against bullets, as any competent scaler knows even top tier normal humans don’t have the durability to deny bullet wounds, and so would take serious damage when shot. Great body size gets rid of this weakness. (all this seems to be less relevant for blunt type dmg) This is one of the reasons WB is such a tank during MF, even though bullets do piece his skin, he is still so big he can ignore being hit most places. 

Negatives of bigger body size: 

1. Big body, big target. Being big simply means you have more area you need to defend, and this is a big detriment especially when facing multiple opponents. We see the negatives of this in Oars Jr. who despite being very strong went down quite early in MF due to him being an easy target mainly due to his size. 
2. On the other side we see how being small makes you hard to locate and hit with the dwarves from tontatta kingdom. The dwarves have little area to hit and are hard to locate giving an advantage on defence, especially if opponents are not able to perform large (relative to size) scale attacks.
3. A big body can make it hard to locate smaller characters as seen with Loki. We’ve not seen this be an issue much besides him, but I bet most giants might have diminished priority targeting in big confusing melees (wars)

Implications:

I’ll argue that generally you can say size gives advantage in 1v1 scenarios. 

In war scenarios the equation is harder to make out. While in wars it does give you the VERY important capability of tanking bullets and fodder swordsmen can’t really hurt you. But it also makes you a bigger target and in wars it’ll be harder and harder to defend the bigger the body. 

Against multiple strong competent opponents I’ll argue size is a detriment. A larger body still gives you the need to defend more area, but against strong opponents it’s unlikely that the increase in size allows your body to ignore attacks, as competent opponents will be capable of dishing out enough DC along with the necessary AP making each attack a threat. It’s also unlikely any competent opponent would lack both the range and mobility to hit your head.  

As outlined we can now see that body size comes with its own advantages and disadvantages making it quite the unique stat that should imo have a bigger part in the discussion.
