Every change the engine has had, in plain English. When a rating is wrong we say so, change it, and write down what changed — because a battle engine nobody can check is just an opinion with extra steps.
Changes to the engine itself — not one character, but how every fight is decided.
The engine can now handle fighters who win by changing what is about to happen — destroying an attack before it lands, and undoing their own death. Previously the only way to record that was to call it reality warping, which is a much bigger power and mad
Characters who crack planets with a punch can now finish a fight with one. The bar for that was set at a level Superman and Thor did not quite reach, which left them unable to kill anyone by hitting them.
Healing quickly no longer protects anyone from having their mind shut down. It never made sense — there is nothing to heal when the attack floods your head rather than damaging your body.
A soul anchor now counts for what it is rated rather than a flat maximum, so a character with a weaker one is no longer as hard to end as a character with the strongest.
Characters who are tough but killable can now actually be killed. That weakness was being ignored for anyone above the street tier, which quietly cancelled it for thirty characters.
A fighter with a weapon can now threaten an opponent who is tough but killable. Before this a rifle could kill an ordinary person but could not hurt anything sturdier, which left two in five armed fighters with no way to win.
A fighter who can genuinely hurt someone now has a way to win, even against an opponent at their own level or above. Before this, nearly half of mid-tier fights had one side with no route at all — which is why some ended with neither able to finish.
Being clever now counts for much less in a fight. Only characters who genuinely out-think opponents mid-combat keep a high rating — planning something brilliant beforehand is a different skill, and nine characters lost the rating entirely.
The engine can now handle being killed without being hit — a name written in a notebook, a death spell. Toughness is no defence against it; only not being alive in the ordinary sense is.
Two ordinary fighters who can each kill the other no longer end in a draw. Whoever is harder to hit and quicker to read the fight survives the exchange. Genuine stalemates between beings who cannot end each other are unaffected.
How hard a character is to permanently kill now scales with how strongly they are anchored to existence, instead of every anchored character being equally hard to remove.
Someone said a result looked wrong. Here is what we found — including the times we looked properly and disagreed, and the times you found something we had not fixed.
“because molecule man literally already beat god emperor doom. he just stripped him of his power by thinking lol dr. ”
“Because molecule man literally defeated god emperor doom”
“Yeah this is one of the most horible takes than I have ever seen. Himelander's best feat is destorying a plane. Meanwhile Deku has been shown to be able to punch so hard he can change the weather on the other side of the world for a solid WEEK, move and react…”
“im sorry I don't know who 2B is,but I think the king in yellow wins I mean (insert what 2B even is) vs a literal god who wrote a play that made people insane”
“Doesnt wolverine have the phoenixs power?”
“because saitama is know to be as fast to even faster then light, he has survived attacks that seem impossible, he has fought threats that could destroy the world or solar system, sukunas power in only restricted to city level, saitama is so powerful that the …”

“light can find the identity of heisenberg”
“gojo would pull his domain out instead of reliing on infinity you messed up what gojo would really do”
“yuta would use rct wjich is deadly against mahito wether yuta can preceive the soul or not”

“Yet another mistake on switching the characters' and their abilities... This one gives Iceman's powers to Plastic Man and vice versa...”
“Hancock is not a 'her'”
“Once again, your winner is described as the loser in the summary. This mistake happens often.”
Ratings that were wrong, and what they are now. Newest first.
Shigaraki's Decay was recorded as though it were an object he could be separated from, which meant anyone able to banish him got a free off-switch. It is his own hands, so that is fixed. The engine now also understands that a power needing bare contact cannot land on someone far faster — he keeps his strength against them, but not Decay.
Wally West in the Mobius Chair had no speed rating at all — the engine was measuring the Flash on how fast his chair flies. He is the fastest speedster alive and in this form he outran the Speed Force itself, so he is now rated for it. He can also now str
Scarlet Witch was rated as a minor magic user. In Multiverse of Madness she kills Black Bolt, Reed Richards, Captain Carter, Captain Marvel and Professor X in minutes and takes Kamar-Taj on her own, so she is now rated for what she actually does. Her old
Mahito had no speed rating at all, which made him far easier to keep away from than he should be.
Thragg had no speed rating despite outpacing every other Viltrumite. He is now rated for it.
Doom is now credited as the trained fighter and duellist he is.
The Hulk had no speed rating at all. He leaps miles at a time and catches things in mid-air, so he is no longer treated as though he stands still.
Naruto had no speed rating whatsoever, which is why fast opponents were walking through him. Six Paths Sage Mode dodges attacks moving at light speed, and he can fly in it.
Superman is now credited for the fighting he has actually been taught — by Batman, Wonder Woman and others. He was being treated as though he had never learned to fight at all.
Yhwach was rated as a reality warper, which he is not — that put a bracket 8 fighter on the same footing as Zeno and the Beyonder. The Almighty is now recorded properly: he sees what is coming, destroys threats before they land, and can undo his own death
Anubis has been researched properly against the Egyptian sources. He no longer has powers over souls or the ability to banish, neither of which he does anywhere in the mythology. He gains what he actually does: he commands an army of messengers, and he be
Losing the Phoenix no longer reduces Jean to nothing. She stays a formidable telepath and telekinetic without it, so separation costs her the amplification rather than the fight.
Cosmic Armour Superman is no longer treated as borrowing his power or depending on a suit. Being built for a purpose is not the same as being switched off, and nothing has ever switched him off.
The Spectre is no longer weakened for needing a host. Without one he has still killed and destroyed at full force, so the host guides him rather than powering him. The Spear of Destiny still counts against him.
Wolverine was carrying the same Phoenix dependency twice. It is recorded once now, and it cannot be triggered simply by preparing for him.
Dark Phoenix is no longer switched off by cutting her from the Phoenix. Her instability is psychological, and exploiting it now takes preparation.
Wanda is no longer switched off by cutting her from an outside power source. Her instability is her own, so exploiting it now takes a psychological approach and preparation.
The Sentry is no longer switched off by having his powers cut from an outside source. His fragility is psychological, so it now takes a fighter who can get inside his head, with preparation.
Legion is no longer switched off by having his powers cut from an outside source. His instability is in his own mind, so it now takes a fighter who can work on him psychologically, and it takes planning.
Running out of cursed energy has been taken off his sheet. Six Eyes is exactly what stops that happening — it is why he can hold Infinity up indefinitely.
The Rumbling has been taken off his sheet as a combat move. It flattens a world over weeks — it is not something he does to one opponent in a fight, and it was letting him beat people who can simply fly away. His control over Titans has gone too, because
His arrogance is now something an opponent can exploit — it is how Kratos got hold of the Blade of Olympus.
Sealing now works on him the way it does in the story, and his boasting is something a clever opponent can use.
Given a real weakness for the first time — Godzilla left him dying, and only outside help saved him.
Renamed to say what the sheet actually is: the flying and the strength are the dragon's, not hers. And a dagger still kills her.
Given a real weakness for the first time — until now there was nothing an opponent could use against them.

Five separate Kratos entries have been merged into one. They were the same character rated five times with slightly different numbers, rather than genuinely different power states.

The flag button under every result is the most useful thing on this site. You do not need to explain yourself — “Naruto’s faster than that” was enough to find a character with no speed rating at all. Sign in first and we will credit you here by name.
