how would you define peak human as compared to superhuman?

Peak human: Reaching your physical and/or mental limits as a person. (If that sounds right)
Example: Slowing down then eventually stopping when doing something like pullups or pushups.
Superhuman: Going past your peak to reach a goal (slightly similar to adrenaline)/suddenly doing something normal man can't do regularly.
Example: Small Kid saving adult from drowning, lifting something that one person can't move on their own.

Human Peak: 18
Superhuman: 19
Nobody's going to get this reference, and I don't care.

I think it might be talking about clearing Sasuke 18 versus Sasuke 19.

Is that really a fair comparison considering how the designers sort of failed at 18?
I mean 5 injuries from the first obstacle, rotation trick to the Log Grip. Didn't even know the Pole Maze was even a maze until 19. Jumping Spider had a huge runup for a jump that's barely there. Bungee Bridge, A litterally unfailed stage one obstacle (isn't that the first time in history no one has failed a stage one obstacle?), Not-So-Great Wall. Flying Chute there wasn't even a jump. Hell, the Final Climb was the only one they got right the first time because there was litterally no way to mess it up.

If you ask me that would be quite painful. Although now I don't want to know what makes that spray sticky..... |

Teenage boys with too much free time on their hands  But no, one of the classicaly perceived opposites to sex is......Dungeons and Dragons. The highest any unmodified stat can go is 18, so that's sort of the peak natural ability. Anything above 18 could be considered superhuman. FWIW, 10.5 is average. I told you you wouldn't get it, and I was right. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll have to go watch Midori's Days to figure out what you all are talking about. |

Teenage boys with too much free time on their hands "Free Time". That's a new one. Guess I haven't heard all the Inuendo I thought I had  We're too busy with more interesting stuff for geeks. |

Well excuse me if my RPG experience is restricted to games where level 18 is a good average for the 4th-5th town in the game. You usually have to be ~lvl. 45-55 to even thinking about challenging the final boss.

A Level Cap should be somewhere between 80 and 100. Not 18.

He said stat, not level. Though I suppose in the sort of RPGs you're referring to, the stat cap would be something like 255.
talladega: You can almost universally do it at level 1. Or whatever the starting level is.
