Okay, so,

Raw Power: As impressive as "nearly destroyed the planet Finnary" sounds on paper, it... has no Calculation... or point of reference... or anything, really. Meanwhile, Taiga apparently scales to 20.831 Exatons of TNT, or 20831 Petatons, literally thousands of times what I'm only allowed to assume is Mackenzie's... four and a half. Yikes.

Toughness: See above. Basically, any Win Condition contingent on dealing damage is about as likely to happen as me IRL being able to chop down a brick wall with a razor, as that's what trying to cut through durability thousands of times your paygrade (even with fine-edged/armor-piercing weapons!) is basically trying for.

Intelligence: Taiga's technically more consistent, but I'm inclined to throw this bone slightly in Mackenzie's direction, if only because tactical/combat knowledge is more likely to be relevant in... combat. And it's a one-step difference, each way.

Range: Uh, Mackenzie. By a lot. Kilometers vs. Thousands of kilometers, even for a less-used category, isn't a joke.

Stamina: ?? All I have for either is "Extremely High", and Mackenzie doesn't even have stamina feats listed.

Physical/"Lifting" Strength: (sees both have no Lifting Strength feats and are basically equivalent in the category to ordinary people) tiduslaugh.mp4

Battlefield Control: Mackenzie's got a dedicated ranged weapon, a hella range advantage, portals, bullet hell, and summoning in his pocket for this. ...Taiga counters almost all of it with that aforementioned durability advantage, plus locking down large areas with black ice storms, turning all of Mackenzie's fire attacks into black ice, and her own bigger, badder summons. The RWBY-esque Glyphs may not trump straight up portals since she lacks true flight in this form, but between their dual purpose as traps and her athletic training they should at least in theory open the odd window or few for a proper attack between Mackenzie's portal-spam into a more cozy range.

...really, this feels like a cool-in-concept fight that suffers from a misleading AP disparity, because High 6-A is a dickish tier where the highest and lowest people are literally thousands of times apart. Technically, if it's alright with you all, I can put this fight on hold until this whole "nearly destroyed the planet Finnary" thing gets a proper Calculation to its name.

Until then, a couple more questions for @Maxl: One, what is Mackenzie's Mind/Soul Manipulation do, and how does it work? Two, what are his best feats with it? Three, how likely is he to use that in character?

What about his Spatial Manipulation and Sealing? (Same questions there.)
