Yangs durability correctedThis is a follow up to my exploration into Tifas abilities, here I will establish Yangs durability which is what Ben and Chad of Deathbattle! used as the reason to hand the win to Yang.

Its is 80 tons, at least.

Here is why, and that is COMPRESSIVE compared to FLEXURAL strength. Compressive strength is in regard to forces exerted against the top and bottom of the pillar, where the structure is strongest and meant to perform its function. Flexural strength is in regards to forces exerted against its sides, which is 10% the compressive.

In the video provided by Deathbattle! they used the max pressure the mechanical press could exert on an object rather than what the object actually withstood.

The press can exert 3,000,000 pounds of pressure, which when divided into tons (2,000 per ton) that equals out to 1,500 tons, however the pillar broke at 1,600,000 pounds, which equals 800 tons.

At 10% that equals 80 tons total.

Now I'm not making up the 10% fact, here is the page that provided it,
