Just going to point out two things for now.

First thing first:

"   just going to convert his lifting strength to striking strength "

That doesn't work in the slightest. Power-lifters who can lift 300 pounds have thrown their backs out carrying a briefcase. You flat-out can't say lifting strength is striking strength. That's a tremendous no-no, and the main reason most sites that track stats separate lifting and striking strength.

Second thing second:

" using powerscaling (AKA common sense and pure logic) "

Beating someone doesn't mean you output the same power they do- just like it also doesn't mean you're just as fast or durable as they are. It never has and never will, I have found forums on every site (vsbattles, narutoforums, comicvine, outskirts) you guys post calcs from cautioning people about powerscaling and how it's innacurate. And no, they are not full of people telling the writers they're wrong.

An example and another

Dhaos (The glowing dude in the first one) has vaporized human beings with his magical attacks, nothing is left whatsoever. Cress defeats Dhaos, does that mean Cress hits with enough power to vaporize humans? Of course not, Cress displays no such ability and never demonstrates that level of power in his attacks.

In the second link, we see the gentle giant unleash his power and send soldiers flying with a massive attack. Previously he was defeated by the party- are they as strong as him? Of course not, nobody in the entire party ever demonstrates that level of power in a cutscene or even in battle.

By powerscaling, the heroes are all above those villains purely because they defeated them- but otherwise they have zero feats to say they're capable of such. This is why powerscaling is flawed, nothing about those games indicate the heroes are stronger or more destructive than the enemies they took down. But purely because someone on the internet used the transitive property they're given feats they have never shown.
