Hey, didn't I say that there was no official statistic multiplier? I honestly don't list stats like that because I'd rather leave it up for interpretation. You interpreted that it was roughly a 2x power boost, let's leave it at that. But I can't fault you for properly analyzing the different things in my series for information.

The main thing you should know about High Tension is that it's different for Smash and his family so it's not exactly a fair comparison to begin with. With High Tension's power, generally people who use it start off with a perfect balance of power and control over their own life energy. Meaning that the type of energy bursts and skills that Smash uses would have come naturally to anyone else. However, if they had 50% power and 50% control in the beginning, then any Corliss would start off with 75% power and 25% control. This is the reason why Smash couldn't hold the form up for any significant amount of time until he was trained by someone who'd mastered High Tension already. Until then he had to make do with what he had and focus on developing the form as a whole to make it last longer.

That being said, it may also be safe to assume that everyone has a different sort of multiplier, depending on the person. One could have 200% base power, another could have 175%, and another could have 225%. But one thing's for sure, the balance in power and control is normally very consistent.
