Some questions for Biran to clear things up.

Hi. Forgive me for being a noob, and please don't flame me. I am not trying to be insulting or anything.

I have some questions. First off is an order of power type thing. In terms of evil power rank, where does Chaos, Mangus, the 4 fiends, the hell king action figure guy (the one hell BM overthrough), the other dark gods, the creatures of the earth fit. Also in the power of good, Bahamut, ?sarda?, creatures of the earth, raven and other gods fit?

Also in total power and authority who is the highest and most powerful? Chaos, the good equivialant to chaos, sarda (but isnt he a human?) the humans, the earth creatures, BM, Bahamut, mangus, the 4 fiends, etc?

I am confused on the whole 8 bit theatre power structure thing. Thank you.

Dude... mangus has got nothing on Cytrus!!

Ok, let me take a crack at it...

1- Sarda
2- Chaos (and its equivalent for good)
3- Bahamut ( And equivalents )
4- The Fiends
5- The Earth Creatures ( Mystical of nature but natural, not created or from other dimensions )
6- Black mage (as solo)
7- Dwarfs and Elves
8- Humans

Makes sense to ya?

I don't think 8-bit really HAS a power structure.

6- Black mage (as solo)

You overestimate BM. Sure, he talks a big game, but he isn't nearly as powerful as he would have you believe. Remember, he can't hit a mountain with a Hadoken, or more importantly, a person standing at point-blank range. And I think he used his other spells maybe once, and his melee abilities are truly awful. Yes, even stabbity death.

Also, remember Fighter is the greatest swordsman in the world, Thief is the greatest thief, and RM is, well, I guess he's the most disconnected from reality in the whole world.

Let's not forget that the Nexus has been unbound... (or whatever)

BM should be much more powerful than his fellows. That has nothing to so with his effectiveness, sadly, so they are probably still even.

I thought only DBZ had power ranks. Well, DBZ and those who didn't learn from its mistake.

Seriously, don't worry about who is stronger than who, just enjoy the story. If you're susceptible to advice.

Let us not also forget that BM and Thief went on a fiery rampage across Dwarfland. As I doubt Thief has the power to make Dwarves spontaneously combust (without a match), I would hazard to guess BM did most of the work in that scenario.

Also, missing the mountain was just a crit-fail. It says nothing about his skill that he failed miserably that one time.

Hey admittedly he can't hit anything but that doesnt make it any less powerful. Ie in the early episodes he annihilates the entire Giants forest with a Hadoken thats pretty damn powerful.

In regards to BM... He's the universe's whipping boy. It's practically a law of 8-Bit Physics; "Everything that happens does so in order to hurt Black Mage." It doesn't matter how destructive you are; the bottom of the food chain's still the bottom of the food chain.

Beyond that...

I'm inclined to agree with the transparent royalty on this one.

Bm is MORE powerfull then many... BUT, he only Genocides when its not necessary...
