So does Sin have the potential to surpass Sol and Ky? Also where does Dizzy fit into all this and what going to be her role going forward?

Also Asuka mentioned A.B.A so if we get her next I would really love to see what she's been doing. After all sh hasn't been in any of the recent guilty gears, over a decade of waiting might finally be over for me. A.B.A or Zappa would be super awesome. I can't decide because I love both equally as their character are so weird but so cool.

Sin is one quarter Gear which is big, but has notably had the Scales of Justice removed from him and placed in Ky. Ky also has the Thunderseal, which is an incredibly powerful magic artifact. As long as Ky has that and the Scales of Juno I don't think Sin could ever surpass him, but if either or both of those things were ever given (or returned) to Sin then he could easily eclipse any power level that Ky ever achieved and fly straight up into I-No/Happy Chaos tier.

damn crazy stuff so basically the power in xrd that sin had before ky and sin had their transplant was ino/happy chaos level power? So I'm going to assume Ky in strive is on par with dizzy?

Sin was once manipulated by Valentine to almost destroy the world. By the time of Xrd I think he's already been powered down.

Sin is like 5 in Strive and Ky, when he wins against Sin, says that his energy output felt like he was fighting Sol. If he's already getting placed on par with Sol on the power scaling at 5, imagine what would happen when he's like 20 years old.

Sin, in terms of power/strength, without a doubt will surpass Ky and Sol very quickly. In terms of knowledge/experience, it will take him years to reach that level.

We never really see what Sol looks like at full power. He doesn't use DI often because of fear of losing himself to his gear instincts, and even then he doesn't ever go all out because of same. However, Justice was able to destroy Japan, and Sol is stronger than her. It's implied that he could potentially destory the world if he really wanted to, which would put him above "strongest in the verse" characters like Slayer and Bedman.

Power scaling is pretty loose in GG. Probably because raw strength is a boring way to decide fights. Case in point, Ky was able to single handedly kill multiple high level gears throughout the war, despite scaling with other humans at the time; he didn't win his fights with raw power, he won with a strong mind and dirty tactics. The way he puts it in Xrd, "the tactics needed for a human to beat monsters" (or something like that).

However, if we use feats as a measuring stick, Sin's Xrd IK scales below Dizzy's IK (which she performs so casually that it's an accident to boot), Dizzy canonically scales roughly with Justice a la GGX and AC+R stories, and Sol scales above Justice a la GG1. I don't really know where post-Xrd Ky scales because we never really see him do anything with DI except keep up with base form Sol in fights against the Sanctus and god form I-no, so I'm gonna assume he scales relatively low in terms of raw power, even with the increase from DI.

As for his quote against Sin, I assume he's refering to base form Sol, since he's never canonically fought DI Sol. Hell, I don't think he's ever even seen Sol's DI before.

I-no and HC are probably as strong as or stronger than Sol. God I-no is a reality warping god with the power to atomize all of reality and is definitely the strongest character in the verse, though Axl supposedly scales with her full power if he really wanted to (he has all the same reality warping abilities that she would have at full power, limited only by his understanding of his own power and willingness to use it).

Tbh, Sin doesn't come anywhere close to the levels of raw power being thrown around by the end of Strive. DI Sol is impled to be a planet buster, while Sin at max power can DBZ someone through a few mountains. Impressive compared to most of the cast, but not compared to the likes of Sol or I-no when they're going all out.
