I don't think some people are getting the point here. Let me highlight the overall point that this rule is trying to make. I've already said mentioning the Tiering System of VS Battles would cause confusion and I was right as seen.

What the rule is pretty much saying - '''Basically, the rule is saying that you can't use a character's Attack Potency/Destructive Capability to solely justify why a character wins. The VS Battles part is mostly irrelevant to the overall rule, but it is still based on it for that you shouldn't believe someone like an Island level beats a City level just because the Tiering System puts Island level > City level without other factors being mentioned. This isn't to discredit VS Battles or any other fictional VS Debating Community. The Tiering System can be used, but you just need more justification outside of one character being stronger than the other. That's as simplified down as I think you can get here.'''

And no, we aren't going to be naming an "official tiering system" for this site if anything. That would honestly be WAY too much trouble if that were to happen. Saying we use the Omniversal Battlefield Tiering System over VS Battles for official tiering again has no reasoning. If anything, this is what I like to call the silent expectation where it's just expected that you use the VS Battles Tiering System since most people use terms from there and it is very widely known (even to the people with their own Tiering Systems). I do think mentioning VS Battles for this rule does seem a bit out of place, but the overall point regarding it being mentioned is not the point of the rule to discredit it solely again. Look at the explanation then you will understand.
