Intelligence: Chen Ran (Chen Ran should take Knowledge Application via usage knowledge as a novel writer on deducing the husband and wife's murder with Cheng Si, also him using wordplay to trick that officer guy with Cheng Si, NCPS is no debate Chen Ran takes via immediately adapting to hell, Cognitive Abilities surprisingly goes to Chen Ran. Light may take PSI but Chen Ran should take WMI via processing and predicting each of the people's reasoning skills, all while scheming himself- all while battling people who were also scheming. Around 2-3 layers of thought process which should maybe take against Light. If I'm spewing bullshit, then Light may take Cognitive Abilities.

Fluid and Crystal (if we go by that kind of intelligence, still both to Chen Ran)

Theory of Mind: Chen Ran (immediate profiling on that officer guy, youth, that guy with the Lie Killer skill)

Social Intelligence: Light Yagami

Self-Management: Light Yagami (Chen Ran needs cigarrettes)

Thinking: Chen Ran (Critical, Divergent, Creative, Abstract- basically all already)

Reasoning: Chen Ran (All- his deduction on people unable to lie in hell is already impressive, his inductive during chapter 4, his abductive during the 6 - 11 was great as well (Deductive too).

Planning: Light Yagami (The fake notebook swap in Part 2. Or Memory Loss)

Strategy: Chen Ran (To get rid of the guy with the Lie Killer skill)

Tactics: Chen Ran (Youth tactics or on Lin something something is great.)

Manip: Light (takes Direct and Emotional. Chen Ran takes Indirect, Logical)

Deception: Chen Ran (Bluffing, Concealment, Misdirection?) Light takes Acting Skills and Fabrication)

Field Skills: Light probs

Counteraction: Chen Ran

Feat Framework: Chen Ran

Overall? Chen Ran wins mid-high diffs.

It's crazy how good he is already- tho, that maybe cuz I scale Light a bit low compared to others.

Why are we even complaining? Each time, it gets worse and worse. More shitty features in the free versions while blocking everything. It's like CapCut by now- and? They won't listen, they had never been after the new age vertification.

Side characters - The fuck do I even need say?

SPK members (except Near) - They're pretty good. Not..... enough feats for me to say they're underrated.

Misa - eeeehhhh, most of her schemes are basics, she has low SI. So maybe a bit overrated. But her EM and EE are surprisingly underrated

Matt - Actual bum. No feats, can't even did his job and lost with the whole 'what are you gonna do, shoot me?' Even as a lowlife bum who can't even run without needing his Coke Zero, I can confidently say I'd win against Matt

Watari - Same with Matt but at least he has some feats- bare bone feats but it's something.

Misora - My queen. In all fairness, she.... kind of has nothing unless you use Comp Material- and even then, it barely gives her much stuff.

Minoru - Slightly overrated in Foresight. No feats in most categories except for Planning, Tactics, Deception. Good Indirect, Emotional, Logical.

Ryuk - No scheming feats but I feel like he'd go insane in Counteraction considering at least, my point of view, he was able to know Light's thoughts and plans throughout the entirity (I could be wrong). SLIGHTLY underrated.

Rem - Actual Misa victim and it's canon.

Near - He's underrated imo. Deduced X-Kira and you consider MT, Near is goated in scheming, even if you ignore the fact, the fact he was able to deduced Kira is Light and was fighting alongside Mello against a smarter Light.

Mello: Same reason as Near imo.

B - Controversial but I feel like he's underrated imo. He's not T2 don't worry, He's like a good T4, above Mello but below Near. Some categories like Reasoning, FSIQ, Strategy, Tactics, Field Skills of his are overrated. Everything else is really good (I don't need to talk about his SI- do I even need to say it?)

Light - oh boy..... uh, I'd say not underrated but he's not overrated. His Part 2 is way better than his Part 1 (which I feel like no one acknowledges that for some reason). Part 1 Light is overrated. PArt 2 Light is underrated

L - Maybe SLIGHTLY overrated. He's still T1 in verse. Just that he doesn't mid diffs Light. Maybe high diffs and very high- it's clear both of them are mostly equal- just that Light's fuckass ego gets in the way whenever it's about L and his sexiness.

ANyway, here's my random take

Intelligence, Self-Management, Thinking, Reasoning, Sensory, Overall Tactics Adaptability, Field Skills (close ig), Counteraction: Ukai

ToM, SI, Scheming, Manipulation, Deception, Foresight: Yokoya

Ukai very high diffs imo

He needs more offensive strategy. It's either defensive or ones where it just helps him escape (mostly in part 1).

Intelligence, Reasoning, Overall Tactics, Sensory (could be wrong), Adaptability: Shirube.

EI, SI, AC, Thinking, Scheming, Manipulation, Deception, Foresight, Field Skills, Feat Framework, Counteraction: Kijirou

I have weird thought circling around my head

take character A and Character B

Character A no diffs the fuck out of a team of mid tier SCD opponents (in all categories for the team), like they win so bad the mid tiers might became their lap dogs atp. Character A had no advantage while their opposition had most of all their advantages.

Character B extreme diffs their high tier opponent but loses in the end. their opponent was begging, whimpering and having nightmares about Character B during their matches/ meeting. their opponent‘s ideology and thought process changed after battling Character B. both of them have no advantages for each other, equal.

so which character is smarter. A or B?

FSIQ, EI, SI, Thinking? (Unsure), Sensory, Field Skills, Manipulation, Counteraction: Frost

AC, Reasoning, Foresight, Adaptability, Intelligence, Feat Framework, Strategy, Planning, Tactics, Deception: Tsukumo

Tsukumo mid-high diffs.

It could be higher but just because Frost has little to no good scheming feats, I can't rate him high. Can't even say he's a good immovable object character considering how Moon beats him and how Frost needed help from people just to stop the mass panic.

I'm currently watching someone playing story mode GTA V and ngl? Trevor and Franklin has decent low tier feats atm (Michael included but I'm still questioning some parts.)

that's all i'm going to say

I'm not asking if it's a high tier or low tier feat, just how hyped you were when reading or watching them think or do their stuff.

I wanna try to branch out to more characters.
