       On-site description: "The purpose of this wiki is to index the
       statistics of characters from a wide variety of different
       fictional franchises."
       Reliability: 6/10—has some dependable calculations, but suffers
       from usual wiki problems, has a fanbase who usually don't know
       what a good argument is, and often gives absurd figures for
       anime. Also uses power scaling too often. However, it is very
       comprehensive and is a suitable secondary source. Always find
       another, more reliable, source to check with.
       Messed-up tiering system
       This is a common complaint. Patrick Ryan explains the problems
       here
  HTML https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mPNB-HcnfrTOBFZ23e3vNnRIct7k6PaIb41QD4FJQWw/edit,<br
       />but the doc has not been professionally evaluated. Suffice it
       to
       say that they use random joule levels way too often (for
       instance, Multiverse-level characters must be able to
       significantly affect/create/destroy at least 1001 universes; why
       choose that particular number?) and their dimensional tiering is
       dubious.
       Massively over- or underpowered ratings
       Kingdom Hearts Tarzan
  HTML https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Tarzan_(Kingdom_Hearts)
       is
       ranked at High 6-A, and supposedly faster than light (yes, you
       heard that right) because Sora is Massively FTL+
  HTML https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Sora_(Kingdom_Hearts)#Powers_and_Stats,<br
       />because he dodged and deflected "lasers". But those lasers
  HTML https://imgur.com/gallery/wULnr2f
       behaved nothing like real
       lasers. They traveled at maybe as fast as Nerf darts, and they
       looked more like plasma. Obi-Wan Kenobi
  HTML https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Obi-Wan_Kenobi
       is High 7-C,
       which is Large Town level
  HTML https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Tiering_System#High_7-C:_Large_Town_level,<br
       />for seemingly no reason except scaling from other characters,
       who in turn scale from him
  HTML https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Anakin_Skywalker!
       
       Never trust their character speed rankings. If you want to
       know why, check the Wiki out.
       Also, since almost any idiot can edit or post there, calcs
       like this
  HTML https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Vrokorta/How_to_Train_Your_Dragon:_Kinetic_Energy_Feats<br
       />can be found there, and are taken at face value by some users!
       Inexact destruction calculation methods
       The wiki actually admits
  HTML https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Calculations#Table_of_Destruction_Values<br
       />that they use slightly questionable guides for destruction
       calculations. For instance, they use shear strength for
       fragmentation, which is probably not right
  HTML https://vsbattles.com/threads/the-problem-with-destruction-values-we-use-staff-only.73631/,<br
       />as it ignores the complex realities of how materials interact
       in
       real life. However, the values are close enough that they can be
       used for rough approximations, which are often all you need.
       Power scaling
       VS Battles Wiki use power scaling way too often. Just because
       Bob beat Joe in a fistfight, Bob is stronger. But there's lot
       more to it than that! Maybe Bob got lucky, or he has better
       form. If a character is listed as "Massively Hypersonic",
       chances are
  HTML https://www.reddit.com/r/CharacterRant/comments/7v79w1/vs_battles_wiki_delenda_est/<br
       />it's because another character in that universe dodged
       lightning
       once.
       Other problems
       Reddit
  HTML https://www.reddit.com/r/CharacterRant/comments/9yocux/why_do_people_hate_the_vs_battles_wiki/<br
       />has a thread on this.
