Obi-Wan doesn't need to be on the high ground, the high ground just needs to exist within the battle; Obi-Wan knows that when he has the low ground, he really has the high ground, from a certain point of view; see Diagram A. Look at his battle record: Maul: Has low ground, wins Example A Dooku: No high ground, loses Dooku rematch: No high ground, loses Example B. Greivous: Has low ground, wins Example C Vader: Has high ground, wins Vader rematch: No high ground, loses Obi-Wan with the high/low ground is canonically the most powerful Jedi. This is fact. Had Yoda not denied his request to battle The Senate with typical Jedi arrogance, Obi-Wan could have defeated Palpatine in the Senate building, which housed a variety of different altitudes; this was designed so that the Chancellor could always have the moral high ground in political debates. But Obi-wan didn't fight The Senate, and Yoda soon learned that you can't cleave the Sheev in a normal 1v1. It took the Tusken Raiders years of conflict against Old Ben Kenobi to grasp his superiority in terrain advantage, as you see them visibly flee in ANH when they realize he holds the low (inverse-high) ground; this was the optimal strategy against a near-invincible opponent. Yoda is shorter than virtually every other fighter, which gives him a permanent low-ground disadvantage; however, his saber-fighting style utilizes a flipping-heavy technique in order to negate this weakness for a temporary window. You'll notice that, after falling from the central podium in The Senate's building, he immediately retreats upon realizing he is on the lowest ground. You'll also notice that, while training Luke, he rides on him like a mount, to gain the intellectual high ground and accelerate Luke's training. Example D . Obi-Wan's defensive Form III lightsaber style synergizes with his careful military maneuvers; as he only strikes when prepared, he can always hold the strategic high ground. (The business on Cato Neimodia doesn't count.) You'll come to realize that this is why Commander Cody's artillery strike failed against Obi-Wan, when hundreds of Jedi were killed in similar attacks. Cody failed to grasp the strategic situation, as the Jedi Master's elevation was superior to his by hundreds of meters, making him virtually unkillable. (You'll notice that all the Jedi killed in Order 66 were on level ground with the clones, thereby assuring their demise.) Had Cody taken his time and engaged the Jedi on even terrain, he would have succeeded. Obi-Wan subsequently retreated under the surface of the lake, so that he could maintain the topographical low/high ground. This is why Obi-Wan is so willing to fight against impossible odds to the point where he thrusts himself in immediate danger; when your probability of victory is 1-to-10, you have the statistical (and therefore strategic) low ground, a numerical advantage when you use your point of view to flip the value to 10/1 . Almost losing is, in Obi-Wan's case, certain victory. (See Example E). As we all know, spinning is a good trick. However, only the Chosen One can spin outside of a starfighter. Palpatine tried spinning, but he lost due to this technique (but this was intentional, as losing gave him the emotional high ground when Anakin arrived). The reason for this is that spinning provides a yin-yang approach to combat (based in Eastern philosophy on balance), giving the spinner the high ground from above and below. Only the Chosen One can master the spin, as it is their destiny to maintain balance in the universe. This is why Obi-Wan was so emotional after defeating Vader on Mustafar; he expected to lose the high ground to the spin, but Anakin fell to the dark side and could no longer use his signature trick, becoming the very thing he swore to destroy. Additionally, Anakin told Obi-Wan that, from "[his] point of view, the Jedi are evil". This broadens Anakin's mind to the concept of relativity in the context of the moral high ground, a mere step away from tactical comprehension. Anakin doesn't hate sand for the reasons he told Padme; all Jedi hate sand, as the battlefield can rapidly change between low and high ground on multiple vectors, so your perspective must be from a certain three-dimensional point of view in order to comprehend who holds the high ground. This is the only reason why Obi-Wan killed Maul in Rebels. This is also the reason why Obi-Wan hates flying; there is no gravity in space, therefore there is no high or low ground from any frame of reference (This also negates the spinning trick, as noted in Example F). In ANH, Vader proves his newfound mastery by engaging Obi on perfectly even ground. However, Obi-Wan intentionally sacrifices himself on the Death Star, so that he could train Luke from a higher plane of existence, thereby giving him the metaphysical high ground Example G. Why was Vader so invested in the construction and maintenance of the Death Star? Because he knows Obi-wan can't have the high ground if there's no ground left. Image A. As seen through the events of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan was known to be on friendly terms with Senator Organa, whose homeworld held large quantities of mountainous terrain, the perfect habitat for a Jedi Master. Grand Moff Tarkin was already in position to destroy Alderaan as a first target, as the distance from Scarif to Alderaan was too vast to reach between the escape and recapture of the Tantive IV, even at 1.0 lightspeed. Alderaan had been the initial target all along, as Obi-Wan with the high ground was the primary threat to the Death Star. How? Because a moon-sized space station would have some form of gravitational pull, thereby negating Obi-Wan's zero-gravity weakness; Obi-Wan with the perpetual high-ground in a low-orbit starfighter would easily be able to fire proton torpedoes through a ventilation shaft, although the Empire was uncertain of the specific weakness of the Death Star planted by Galen Erso (who was a good friend). In Return of the Jedi, you can see that the Throne Room contains a variety of different altitudes; Palpatine placed these there to ensure Vader's defeat. However, Sheev failed to realize that his weakness was no ground, and should have covered that useless gaping pit which does nothing. A common misconception is the idea of a 'prostrate position' version of the high ground, wherein Obi-Wan lies flat on his back, giving him tactical superiority from his point of view. However, this strategy is futile, as for the high ground to come into effect, there must be a differential between parties on both the x-axis and y-axis to a moderately significant variation from both absolutes (Angles only a Sith would deal in). For Obi-Wan's high ground powers to be in full effect, he must stand between 15 and 75 degrees (π/12 to 5π/12 radians) diagonal from his opponent(s) on any quadrant of the area circle; this has been dubbed the Trigonometric Perspective Diagram. (Diagram B). The total effect for conventional high ground advantage can be calculated via the MetaComm Equation, or f(x) = lim 0→x π/12 | 7π/12 5π/12 | 11π/12 Ʃ(x) (2tan(x) / 3sin(x) + (log10Δ)) * cΦ Δ = distance on hypotenuse (meters) Φ = Surrounding Force [c (variable) * β (Earth Gravity) * (pressure (psi)/2.2)] 'x' refers to the angle of contact between the two parties on, with advantage being based purely on position on the Y-axis, as the vast majority of force users base their perception on elevation rather than spacial relativity. The power of gravitational force has great effect on the high ground; too weak, and the high ground holds no traction; too strong and the ground becomes the real enemy. Experimentation has proven that the high ground typically holds significant value between .8 and 1.4 β (Earth Gravities) with maximum impact standing roughly equal to 1.05. Pressure is equally important, as it is a surrounding force attached to gravity (the high ground has famously low impact in aquatic environments). Pressure(λ) is measured in pounds per square inch (psi), to be used as a gravity multiplier (or division if pressure is sub-atmospheric; Φ (Surrounding Force) is a variable defined as β * 2.2λ , with no metric value assigned due to its singular application. In situations regarding Obi-Wan and his relativistic point of view, you must substitute the Quadrilateral MetaComm Equation (the Jedi Master function), f(x) = lim 0→x minmaxƩ (2tan(x) / 3sin(x) ) * (1.2)cΦ [min = (|cos(x)| = 1) | (|sin(x)| = 1) + π/12 ), max = (|cos(x)| = 1) | (|sin(x)| = 1) + 5π/12 ]. The viable Φ field is expanded, as Obi-Wan has taken advantage of the high ground in so many different environments that he simply uses it more efficiently, and the min/max values apply due to his multidimensional point of view, evidenced by the Trigonometric Perspective Diagram. Additionally, the distance factor does not affect Obi-Wan, as spacetime can be perseptively compressed, giving him the ideal Δ value from his point of reference. In conclusion, Obi-Wan abuses spatial relativity and Taoist doctrine in order to always invoke his high-ground powers. To properly analyze the strategic genius of Kenobi, one must hold advanced knowledge in Philosophy, Mathematics, and Calculus-based Physics, and be able to integrate these topics together.

Donald Duck is the strongest being in the Final Fantasy power system. In Kingdom Hearts III, Donald Duck casts a move called "Zettaflare" which is a more powerful variant of the usual "Flare" cast. Flare is a common black mage ability in the wider Final Fantasy series, but there are more powerful variants of the spell seen in the games. Flare is a high level magic spell Megaflare is Bahamut's signature ability Gigaflare is Neo-Bahamut's attack Terraflare is Bahamut Zero's attack, it is also the attack used by Bahamut to reset the world in Final Fantasy XIV Petaflare is the final attack Bahamut SIN used in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Exaflare belongs to Bahamut Fury, Bahamut Prime, and Midgardsormr Zettaflare has never been used by any enemy in a Final Fantasy game. Granted, Kingdom Hearts is not in the FF series, but it does utilize many Final Fantasy characters and tropes. Specifically, the magic system in Kingdom Hearts is straight out of Final Fantasy with its magic tiers. As the flare tiers are based on Greek prefixes, we can estimate the amount of difference between the tiers. deca – 10^1 – 10 kilo – 10^3 – 1,000 mega – 10^6 – 1,000,000 giga – 10^9– 1,000,000,000 tera – 10^12 – 1,000,000,000,000 peta – 10^15– 1,000,000,000,000,000 exa – 10^18 – 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 zetta -10^21 – 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Which means Zettaflare is one thousand exaflares or a septillion flares. Which is goddamn insane. Especially since no one else in the extended Final Fantasy universe is capable of casting it. Not even the series' most powerful enemies have come close. Which means that Donald Duck is the most powerful being in the wider Final Fantasy universe and could probably nuke solar systems

The Anti-Skullgirl Labs were a series of top secret weapons facilities created by Dr. Victor Geiger in the year (unknown), under the authority of King Franz Renoir. Officially there were eight, each one simply numbered “Lab (1-8)”. Unofficially, there was a 9th facility known as Lab 0, that was likely secret even to the king himself. As their name suggests, the ASG Labs were designed to create weapons to fight the Skullgirl; an undead avatar of destruction who resurrected every 7 years. Before their skills were actually put to the test, however, the Grand War broke out across the world, and Labs 3 & 4 began selling weapons and soldiers to the war effort. Believing they A. Had no place in the war B. Could do more good with their advanced tech than just making weapons Lab 8, under the leadership of Dr. Avian, defected from the group, becoming an independant organization. It’s unclear exactly when, but Lab 7 eventually wound up collapsing (likely having something to do with their creation of Brain Drain), and the remaining members—an elite force of assassins known as the Last Hope—were transferred to Lab 4. Eventually, the next Skullgirl was born, and turned out to be none other than King Franz’s wife, Nancy. Immediately, the King ordered the ASG project disbanded. Most of the ASG Labs shut down due to this order, but Lab 4, lead by the Last Hope, rebelled, and formed an alliance with Lab 8 to carry out their mission, and destroy the Skullgirl. Both Queen Nancy, and King Franz died in the war, leaving the young Princess Parasoul on the throne. Parasoul mostly left the two official remaining ASG Labs be, despite their opposition to her father, and likely didn’t know of the third. When it came time for the next Skullgirl to rise, a girl named Mary, the Last Hope lead the charge. Unfortunately, they were completely wiped out, save for the lone assassin Valentine, who joined the enemy to save her own skin. As such, Lab 4 is considered to be destroyrd. In secret, however, she was working with Lab 0 as a double agent, hoping to create a weapon to avenge her fallen comrades. She was discovered, and once again turned on the ASG Labs to save herself, this time leading an assault on Lab 8, killing Dr. Avian in the process. Currently, only Lab 0 and Lab 8 are in operation, with the latter in shambles after Valentine’s betrayal.

There is a mite that lives in moths ears. It is so small that it drifts on the wind and then lands on a passing moth. It checks both ears to see if there is another mite, because two will prevent the moth from navigating. If it finds a mite already there, it will jump off and wait for another moth. And when I went to get gas today, after two months, the Chevron guy wasn't wearing a mask.
