The Superhero Database Classification number, or SHDB Class, is a number that represents the overall 'power' of a character. All traits of a character are used for calculating the Classification.
What it DOESN'T mean
This doesn't mean that a higher class would always beat a lower class character. But the bigger the difference in Class is, the more obvious it is who'll win in a fight.
How is this calculated
( INT^1.3 + (STR*0.5 )^2 + (SPE*0.5)^2 + DUR^1.6 + (POW + (SPS*SPL))^2 + COM^1.8 ) ^ TIER
Super Power Score and Level
Every Super Power has a score (SPS) that is used to calculate the Class. Each Super Power also has 3 levels (SPL). The level is set when connecting that Super Power to a character. The level determines the final score, of the Super Power, being used in the calculation.
This is how Zero wins. Last I checked.
Advantages:
Stronger
Faster
More durable
More experienced
Superior A.I.
A larger variety of attacking moves and weapons
Has superior options for both short and long-range combat
Sub-tanks heal him up, and Awakened Zero automatically regenerates health
A lot of options to reflect projectiles
Better time stop abilities
If given the Buster Shot and Elemental Chips, can burn, stun and freeze Metal
Has dealt with just about everything Metal Sonic has in his arsenal
Stronger powered-up forms (since Metal’s don’t give us any clear upgrades outside of Overlord)
Even without the forms, he’s got numerous ways of boosting his stats such as Chips and Cyber Elves
Has resistance to magnetism with the Spike Type W Chip
Flight options in Absolute and Awakened forms
Weapon energy replenishes over time in Black Zero form
Can become invincible in Awakened Zero form (relative to what X can dish at least, though based off their numerous battles, their stats are comparable)
And can you give him stats pls?
