    Hope you all enjoyed the episode! Here is our research and reasoning behind the victor:
    SPOILERS BELOW
    Let's start off real fast by looking at where the characters came in for stats....
    Byleth
    AP: 21 Zettajoules (Byleth is able to one-shot Grima in Fire Emblem Heroes. Check out Robin vs Rosalina for more details on Grima's stats.)
    Durability: 21 Zettajoules (Taking similar hits to what he dishes out)
    Speed: Mach 9,700 (dodging meteor pulled from space)
    Palutena
    AP: 749.7 Exajoules (Her Glam Laser scales past Pit's attack power, as she is able to one-shot enemies that Pit is unable to.)
    Durability: 792.7 Exajoules (Palutena is able to survive attacks from Pit's most powerful attacks. Check out Pit vs Samus)
    Speed: Mach 700 (Her speed is a bit more vague. Although she moves around at pretty underwhelming speeds in her fight, given that she is actively granting Pit his flight speed, she SHOULD in theory be comparable. If we are being incredibly strict, she doesn't have any real speed feats, but for the sake of argument, we assumed she was on-par with Pit's speed.)
    Explanation:
    A battle of two green-haired goddesses! (Well, counting Sothis). This wasn't nearly as close as it would seem at first glance. While Palutena is a formidable magic user, her skills in combat were less impressive. She had basically every power available to Pit, such as automatically avoiding attacks and reflecting damage, but Byleth was just too powerful for these abilities to be enough to overcome the stat disadvantage. Byleth was about 28 times stronger and more durable than Palutena, putting him easily in the range that he could defeat her in a single attack.
    What's more, Byleth was also nearly 14 times faster than her. This would give him enough of a speed advantage to close the distance before Palutena had much time to react at all.
    Strategy-wise, Byleth is known to mercilessly go for the kill in an efficient way to end the battle as swiftly as possible. He would not hesitate to use every advantage he had to end Palutena's life the moment he was given the opportunity. He also is a master of many different forms of combat and strategy and likely out-performs Palutena in both of these areas.
    Even if Palutena were to get the time to let off a deadly attack or ability, Byleth has access to an ability called Divine Pulse that allows him to rewind the battle to any point of his choosing. He can do this up to 13 times before he runs out, giving him many different chances to end the fight. The same ability also allows him to stop time for about half a minute, and unlike the rewind he can do this an unlimited number of times. When this is combined with his stat advantages, he is just way too much of a threat for Palutena to handle.
    This is all without mentioning some of Byleth's most dangerous abilities, such as:
    Silence - This would stop Palutena from using any magic
    Miracle - Survive an otherwise lethal attack
    Renewal - Heal a sizable portion of his health each turn
    Distant/Close Counter - Damage any enemy who hits him
    Fatal Smoke - Stops enemies from healing
    Panic Smoke - Inverts enemy's positive stat buffs
    Ruptured Sky - Adds 20% of his enemy's attack power on top of his own. Given that Palutena's attack power and durability are equal, this means that even if Byleth had far lower stats, he could still finish off Palutena in a mere 5 hits through stealing her power. Between this and his time stops/rewinds, Byleth has some serious methods to be a menace even if ecah of his stats were dramatically lower than they are.
    This all comes together to form an opponent that is just too much for Palutena to triumph against.
    Byleth is the winner of this battle.

Also funny how meteor dodging was mach 5,830 with ike vs ricter but its now mach 9,700 now, just something I noticed upon reading the feats you put for the two and seeing why Byleth won. Fire emblem characters has some interesting power scaling.

      If you’re going to use Heroes, why stop at Grima scaling of all things? Heroes goes up to Multi+ with The Tempest, and there are also other god like beings in Feh that should be stronger than Grima. I am very confused. Also I highly don’t like using Heroes scaling in the first place as an FE fan.
      But all in all, a good fight. Really captured the personalities well

    The animation was good, but there were a bunch of little things that kept adding up. When did Byleth get his sword back after getting thrown out of the room? How did he get back (since it wasn’t done by a rewind)? The flurry of attacks with the Heroes Relics looked like teleportation rather than getting there through sheer speed (giving an idea of where he came from would have gotten around it). If it was by the time stop, then the purple particle effects would have helped clarify that. The choreography was good, but tiny additional shots to connect it together would have helped the latter half. I’m excited to see the next animation and the research for this.

    • @SunshineRey
      @SunshineRey 7 месяцев назад +15

      Sothis canonically can freeze and rewind time at will but rewinding is limited to 13 uses per encounter and Three Hopes makes it so Byleth can freeze time in a certain vicinity for what appears to be a minute to him in game so he probably just used that, grabbed the Sword of the Creator then froze time repeatedly to beat up Palutena with the weapons in his inventory since he’s able to carry up to six weapons in Three Houses (plus in smash, he just conjures them out of thin air so by smash logic, this still works). And, by what it looks like in this animation and how it’s used in Three Houses, the purple effect was probably only for rewinding time, not freezing it which, in Three Hopes, has more of a blue glow to it from Byleth’s perspective. Definitely would have helped to have him “teleport” with a flash of white and blue where he was and ends up, but in Three Hopes when he uses it against Shez, it doesn’t really change anything about the visuals to Shez except making it look like he can teleport. (I’m now imagining Byleth freezing time before falling off, slowly climbing up the edge of the cliff then running over to grab his sword then moving back to his original position for dramatic effect.)

    We can't forget that Byleth also has a goddess with him, Divine Pulse is just a broken ability, a lot of versatile skills, experience with every weapon, big stats and a strategic mind (man is literally a professor and commands an army later on).

    Genowhirl did a fantastic job on this one! Always loved how he's animated facial expressions and that really shines with the banter scenes here. Also massive shout out to the voice actors! It's always a treat to hear Jedi Exile's Palutena, and Sothis's VA did an incredible impression of Cassandra Lee Morris. Wonderful job all around!
    And now for a spoiler mark I don't know how many times to hit enter so here goes:
    RIP Palu but admittedly this isn't a surprising result in the slightest, Byleth and Sothis are both far more experienced in combat than Palu ever was, and even without going into lore feats like the continental flood what Byleth is directly shown doing in Three Houses is far more impressive than what Palu is shown directly doing in Uprising.

  • @illialidur8244
    @illialidur8244 7 месяцев назад +7

    Okay, so there are some comments complaining about the validity of the match because of the methods used to obtain the calcs. I’m gonna do my best to put them to rest, having little to no understanding of how they actually arrived at any of those figures.
    Firstly, let’s get the biggest thing out of the way. Palutena has absolutely zero feats. If you want to be really grimy, you can just say that she has a level of power that is impossible to quantify because it is never shown. You could even make the case she has no unusual strength or durability or speed and the like on her own and instead only powers up others since this is what leads to much of the core gameplay of Kid Icarus. This means, the whole fight has to be predicated on a good faith argument that Palutena likely has at least the same stats as those who fight for her. Is this certain? Nah. But it is necessary to even have the discussion, since a fighter like Byleth even when sticking to only the sourcest of source material has impressive scaling in terms of speed and AP. At least, for those who don’t know about FE scaling.
    Second, much like the last super contentious FE vs a God match with Robin and Rosalina, the fact is the winner isn’t strictly determined by stats. It can’t be, since one of the fighters this time literally has no provable stats. Byleth simply has better hacks than Palutena. The power of Divine Pulse is essentially Killer Queen Bites the Dust fused to The World, except Byleth can rewind and stop time for way longer at will instead of with cooldowns or activation requirements. This dude has the power of 2 major JoJo antagonists and he can spam it.
    Byleth with the power of Sothis can cut through like actual dimensions. He has full on mastery of space and time and magic and a god living in his head who can either channel her power through him or fuse her power to him, either way giving him the powers of a God. He has spent his whole life as a mercenary, constantly battling and never failing a job once. His tactical prowess is so good, he can instruct classrooms full of the brightest minds on the continent and teach them meaningfully on how to battle. While he isn’t as intelligent as Robin, he has many of the same skills and honestly some arguably better hax.
    Then, we have Heroes. Probably the most contentious part of this episode is that Heroes was mentioned in the comment for why Byleth won. If you disagree with Heroes being considered canon, take it up with the developers. I agree it’s stupid and it makes everyone’s scaling very inconsistent, but thems the breaks. IS makes these games and characters and they decided that Heroes is canon. If you want to put some sort of restriction on that, congratulations! Your argument is head canon and at best contrary to what has been stated by the devs. Your opinion will probably not be taken seriously since you are arguing canon material should be ignored because you don’t like it.
    The worst part is, the only think Heroes was used for was in giving Byleth comparable AP to Robin. Fine, throw it out, we literally don’t need it, Palutena is still featless and Byleth still has his very valid speed calc and an attack that scales off HIS OPPONENT’S power in the canon Heroes iteration of his skill. Even if you disregard all that, Byleth is untouchably faster, Palutena cannot be quantified anywhere nearly as highly as Byleth, he has all his skills and legendary weapons and to top it all off, bro can stop time, heat up some cup noodles over his own Fire magic, eat it, and then kill you all before resuming time. The only limit EVER shown in Three Hopes to his time stop ability was when he regained control from Sothis and forcibly deactivated it in order to save Shez. That wasn’t it running out, that was him stopping Sothis from using it against someone he didn’t want to kill.
    Being most charitable to Palutena and least charitable to Byleth, this fight is still a wash. Byleth wins 10 out of 10 times because he is still several times faster, has the ability to stop and rewind time, is a master of weapons, combat, and tactics, and is up against a featless opponent.

    • @esteban8471
      @esteban8471 7 месяцев назад +1

      Okay, so here are my personal disagreements with this comment:
      -Palutena has no feats. Yes, that's true. However, scaling her to Pit (which makes sense since they've fought and all) would put her far beyond Byleth's feats in power. Pit has flown interstellar distances and fought people who can move continental sized stations.
      -Heroes being canon does not automatically make the scaling valid because it contradicts the lore. You can pull 3H characters from all the routes, pre and post timeskip, and nothing really changes to their corresponding games. Characters literally meet future and alternate versions of themselves, and it makes everything ridiculously convoluted. Its inconsistent at best and an outlier at worst.
      But ultimately it doesn't really matter because no matter how you spin this battle, it's a stomp. Byleth stomps Palutena if you don't scale her to Pit. If you do, she stomps mainline Byleth without Heroes. Byleth stomps with Heroes. Its one sided no matter what.
      I think Palutena wins because of my aforementioned reason regarding Heroes, but ultimately these are just opinions. VS debating is subjective. Not everyone will agree on things because feats and scaling, like every other thing related to fiction, relies on one's personal interpretation. Byleth winning is theirs, and yours, and Palutena winning is mine. And that's fine.

    • @illialidur8244
      @illialidur8244 7 месяцев назад +1

      @@esteban8471 All in all, that’s a lot of valid points.
      From my perspective, even disregarding Heroes, Byleth should still have comparable albeit slightly lower AP than what was given for Palutena but considering his attacks can scale off enemy attack power, the difference is negligible.
      As for Heroes, you can SAY it contradicts the lore but you can also argue it doesn’t. In Heroes lore, you are pulling different heroes from different worlds and different places in their own respective journey. You could also argue that being summoned to the world of Zenith augments your power in some way. Either of these interpretations make it so Heroes doesn’t have to contradict the lore of other titles. Though I still agree using it to say “All FE characters are as powerful as the strongest being in Heroes” is really reaching, the fact is as long as the devs consider it of primary canon, there is no reason to argue it is less valid to use for scaling than other source material, such as Three Houses. There are a few versions of Byleth from Three Houses, Three Hopes introduces a couple more, and Heroes introduces a few more. They are all Byleth and nobody is complaining that Three Hopes shouldn’t be used.
      This is still all contingent on whether or not we allow Palutena to get credit for all of Pits feats and if we give Pit the more generous interpretations. Either way, Byleth can stop time and move around freely while strategizing. There are still perfectly valid arguments to be made that speed and AP don’t matter, since Byleth’s damage output could literally be zero and his AP would still be only 5 hits away from matching Palutena and his speed is whatever, but the second Palutena gets close enough it becomes immeasurable because he can stop time and move around in it at will.
      In the end though, you are 100% right that powerscaling and vs debating is very open to interpretation and the fight could go either way depending on your view of their stats and abilities. I think Byleth winning was right, but honestly the way they characterized Palutena was really funny in this so I was going to be happy either way. She seems like a fun character.

      @@illialidur8244 She is. Kid Icarus Uprising really made everyone a goober and they're all really charming. Although there are two points I want to point out.
      I think the difference between Heroes and Three Hopes is that Three Hopes is just an alternate story of Three Houses. An AU in every sense of the word. Heroes is just...a ridiculously convoluted can of worms. That's what makes the scaling so convoluted. You have characters who have died like Jeralt and Hector beat up the embodiment of death, and then there's the drug fest that's the cosmology with Yggdrassil and everything. Yes, its canon but its also just...really weird to talk about.
      I'm not gonna talk too much about scaling Palutena to Pit's feats but I do think that excluding Heroes, Pit would beat up any FE character in a fight. That's just my opinion and a whole other conversation in and of itself.
      And this is just a very minor nitpick, but Byleth can't stop time on his own. He can only rewind it. Sothis is the one who can stop time, and she's only ever used it consecutively in Three Hopes. And even then, Shez wasn't just keeping up but he even won. So I doubt time stop would be as much of a game changer if in universe people can "deal" with it.
      All in all, I stand by my opinion, but I respectfully understand where yours (and by extension Smash Bracket's) comes from. Good day, kind stranger.

      @@illialidur8244 I guess, but Sothis wouldn't do it like in Three Hopes since Three Houses Sothis respects Byleth enough to not take over. But that's not really relevant. And I'd argue giving Robin Grima doesn't really work because their "relationship" is way different from Byleth and Sothis's. Sothis was "conscious" in Byleth's head and could grant him power whenever she saw fit. Meanwhile Grima is "dead" and Robin more so just the means to resurrect him. Two completely different scenarios, even if it made for a cool moment in Smash Bracket. But I get what you mean.

      Likely because she's never done that before, the most she's done is create a giant projection of herself (which did happen in this fight).
      If she could turn giant, she definitely would've done that during her cannon battle against Pit, thereby forcing him to fight her in 'flight mode' and putting him on a 5 minute timer.
      And sure, a couple of other Kid Icarus deities could super-size, but there's nothing to indicate that all the gods have the same powers.

    When a character is almost featless and can only be seen as an omnipotent goddess, that only implies great power and implies they're most valuable asset is their knowledge of everything, nothing else. Although it could be fair to say that since Palutena can give both Pit and Dark pit those abilities at the same time and how Palutena can in theory remain as powerful as she is while giving Pit abilities, that Palutena could be at least twice as strong as you say as the same power is transferred to each person but that is purely an assumption based off of what little there is to know.
    Also doesn't her giant form increase her physical stats as Maduesa and other gods seem more powerful when giant? Wouldn't help her anyway but can that be said as a possibility?

      Heroes' canonicity is a messy debate, though some of the FE stat calcs do seem too generous in how they were interpreted.
      But Simon was pretty screwed against Ike regardless since many of his best 'feats' boil down to beating Dracula, someone he is specifically trained and armed to beat, plus Smash Bracket's rules are really strict about when scaling is applicable.
      If we don't see Simon destroy a universe or take an attack that was shown to have destroyed one, he won't get put on that level.
