Oh, and High 1-A is the same as 0? There is a big difference between nigh-omnipotent and omnipotent. No.

High 1-A is equivalent to 0 in all but name. Do not forget, High 1-A are in their own league compared to other tiers. However, they are listed as High 1-A instead of 0 due to a much more superior being above them.

For example, Yog-Sothoth is listed as High 1-A due to the existence of Azathoth.

Tier 0 > High 1-A (since they are boundlessly above all other characters).

The confusion comes when a tier High 1-A character from one franchise is compared to a tier 0 character from another, for eg: The-One-Above-All vs Yog-Sothoth.

In this case, it's particularly hard, since bar Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth would be considered absolutely supreme instead. Azathoth is boundlessly above Yog-Sothoth, but can the same be said about The-One-Above-All?

In other words, is boundlessly > all of Marvel also > boundlessly > all of Chuthu Mythos? Remember that these are characters whose power is too great to be comprehended, let alone measured, and they play on a level where words, logic and concepts are irrelevant (thus terms like "boundless" and "infinity" lose their comparative meaning).

It is impossible to say which character is stronger at a glance, and thus, a Tier 0 character does not insta-win against a tier High 1-A (the tier 0 character likely does win, but proper analysis is required before a judgement, and the end result is almost certainly indeterminate).

Keep in mind that this is applicable only for tier 0 and High 1-A. Against every other Tier (including 1-A), both tier High 1-A and 0 insta-win.
