Power Levels
- Your power level is basically your videogaming ability relative to the average gamer, who is taken as 1.00.
- Your power level will vary according to several factors: gaming experience, IQ, concentration, training and natural talent. Injury will decrease it.
- If you have a power level less than 1.00, you are a below-average gamer; if you are above 1.00, you are an above-average gamer.
- If you play any amount of videogames, then you are most likely somewhere between 0.60 and 1.40.
- Nobody has a power level less than 0.00, while 99.9% of individuals rank less than 3.00.
- Gain a power level of roughly 3 or higher and you can jump to Super-Tetris Level 1. Jumping a Super-Tetris level will give you a hundred-fold increase in power level, and usually a bit more besides.
- Gain a power level of roughly 500 or higher and you can jump to Super-Tetris Level 2. This will give you another x100 boost.
- Gain a power level of roughly 550,000 or higher and you can jump to Super-Tetris Level 3 and add another two zeroes to your power level.
- Of course, in Universe 1 (in which the entire StickManStickMan saga takes place) it's impossible to reach STL3 under your own power. You can power up
as much as you like and it won't work. This is because U1 was restructed to prevent anything like the Zero Crisis occurring again.
- The only way around this is to find an existing STL3 - for example, the Oracle - and persuade him to give you his power. This, as you can imagine,
almost never happens.
