Scaling is an important part in debates. Keep in mind that, without scaling, Pre-Super, Goku would be like island. A character matching another character in multiple occasions proves that they are comparable, and that they can be scaled to each other, without being "theoretical" or "an assumption."

Sonic matching Shadow, Skeletor matching He-Man, and Ryu matching Akuma, as examples, proves that they scale to each other, since their stats otherwise wouldn't make said scaling an outlier since they're almost even. On the flipside, Spider-Man doesn't scale to Thor or Hulk, because Spider-Man, otherwise, is MUCH fucking weaker.

Part of me thinks you all misinterpreted Death Battle. They use scaling... Just not uber-conspicuous or convoluted scaling (Like Birdie tanking a nuke scaling to literally everyone in SF).

Also-

"A few days ago, someone used such a scale to determine that Samus is faster than light. I made an attempt to debunk it, but he firmly stuck his ground saying that she is."

What were your arguments for non-FTL Samus? I'm curious, because that's the commonly accepted thing.
