Is Spacebattles reliable?

Curious to know if it is.

They think fictional peak humans would lose to RL armed forces soldiers

No

I'd rather use vsbattles, they seem to be good at calculating feats and tiers.

Spacebattles is just like comicvine. So, yes and no? It depends on the person. Although they definitely handled their forums and posting better.

It's just a forum exactly like this one, it depends soley on the individual users if they are reliable.

Sometimes but they kept on downplaying RWBY against WW2 and WW1 from real life

Depends just like every other forum. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't

I think they try to use too much RL calcs in a setting where it has its own rules and what not, but that's just me and some can be stubborn.

uh huh

Too much like CBR.

Finally someone understands, there are more than one users in sites like these.

Yes, it is far better than comicvine and the debaters there are of a higher quality than Vine. Compared to vine, they have a penchant for using real science over almost everything. They do not stick with split durability as much as vibe nor do they wank characters as much as viners do. On the flip side, I'm not a fan of having likes.

@jashugan: After seeing this thread, I was totally waiting for you to make a comment on this. However, the thing about real life science is that a lot of animes/mangas, video games, comics, and cartoon (Mostly comics and cartoons) don't always follow the laws of real life science & logic.

Generally speaking their knowledge on comics is limited but they're better than viners at pretty much everything else. logic, calc even humour.

Yup, and durability types do exist.

@digitaldemon: of course they don't and that's why the site has rules for that and users know that

Because fan calcs are legit.

As most other have stated they're far more reliable on calcs and real-life science but they aren't really that different from CV, just less people which means less of the B.S. the Vine suffers from.

They're pretty good. Better than the vine for science and sci fi. The vine is better for comic stuff.

Overall, a pretty good site with some good people, generally less knowledgeable in comics stuff, but in most Sci-Fi stuff they are better than CV.

MUCH friggin better than VSBattles wiki, that much is true.

Honestly at this point I'd say they're better than CV.

Better than the rest, through that's just because the users are generally more competent than here. They still wank through, just not as badly and about different stuff

They're literally better than this entire site.

The users (mods included) on this site have no idea what they're talking about, and will circlejerk/wank based on which series they like more. It's complete cancer.

People at Spacebattles at least use arguments based on logic and reasoning, not fanboyism.

they believe that the American army can overcome the galactic empire.

the answer is no

@gabrielbelmont: galactic Empire are retarded.

About as reliable as trusting the special needs kid above me to do your math homework.

At this point can two turds be better than one another?

Basically a nerd and science version of Comicvine but instead feats use calcs which is why i hate it

Yes and No, some calcs are really good others aren't.

How can you compare feats without putting them in numbers?

Depends on the user. Connor Macleod, for example, is a very reliable poster.

Can't be worst then vsbattles

Spacebattles would be the best debate site on the web if they didn't ignore feats and quotes that they didn't like. Unfortunately they do just that which makes them a knowledgeable community with major bias.

They have some users that know their stuff, they have some that don't. It's just like any other debate forum.

@killbilly: What feats and quotes? Hancock would die against Superman and "omnipotent" is a term of hyperbole frequently used in fiction, in-universe and out-of-universe.

You seem to basically think Superman cannot harm Hancock because of hyperbole quotes.

What are you talking about?

@randybutternubs: One user in Spacebattles said that bankai Ichigo is only 2x faster than peak humans.

Here is the link -> https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/ichigo-kurosaki-vs-archer-vs-cloud-strife.113336/

@killbilly:

I agree with this one

pretty much the same with comicvine

A lot of times more than cv tbh.

SB seems to be a pretty good place for vs. debates. I was actually thinking whether or not I wanted to join there instead of CV.

Not a single forum is reliable

there will be either wank or lowball

It's definitely more reliable than this garbage site. The users aren't as prone to wank/circlejerking, but they have their issues with wank too. And it seems people there are more open to admitting when they're wrong. No one here does that.

Overall, Spacebattles is the superior website.

@watertaco: Why are you here then? Just to be salty?

I don't have an account on any site I consider garbage.

Yes and No. As stated above; they're pretty good when it comes to sci-fi and science, and we're better when it comes to comics and I'd say we're better with hax understandings. However, they're too overly reliant on Real Life science, logic, and laws when it comes to fictional setting.

Quite a few fictional setting will sometimes ignore certain scientific laws and logic. They'll chalk it up as unquantifiable or an outlier as it ignores certain laws of science. They'll also ignore how some fictional verses cosmology works.

When it comes to hax, we're superior here, in my opinion. Spacebattles full-heartedly believes (at least from what I have seen is some of their debates and having some debates with them on there) that higher physical stats can overcome hax. While, yes, that can happen depending on the verse and how said hax work, and if the said character can blitz the haxier character. However, if the lower stat character is faster and has hax that the higher stat character can't resist. Odds are that the lower stat character will win.

Example: Let's say we put a planet level character who is 6 million times the speed of light and he's filled to the brim with hax and he's up against a universal character who is only light speed and has no hax or hax resistances. Said planet level character is more than likely going to win by speed blitzing and hax the universal character to death.

Spacebattles would simply look at the character being universal and automatically assume he'll win by virtue of being universal when realistically he doesn't win.

So, all in all, Spacebattles is 50/50. I think they're reliable when it comes to sci-fi and science, but I think we're more reliable in the comic and hax department.
