But what about the higher tiers of grimm that I placed out? What would you think a SSS would be? Good question. I personally feel that S-rank and above should be where the scale begins to "fall apart" - like, on a scale of 1-10, where 10=A+; S=12; SS=16; and SSS=25. But that's not really the main question; it's actually what's the highest level enemies that "Master Hunters" could conceivably fight against groups of and win. That could be any where from B- to S-rank, depending on the system.

... That didn't answer anything, let me try that again: I think SS-rank Grimm would be not just immensely powerful, but are also anomalies among their kind - they are unique. These are Grimm who you can tell individuals apart with ease. There also would be less then 100 of them in my mind; perhaps even less then a dozen. They would be sort of like "penultimate final boss(es)", I think.

As for SSS-rank? Something of which there is so few you can count them on one hand. There might even be only one of them: the "Mother Grimm"; the "Ultimate Destroyer"; "Geias Wrath". Basically, when I think SSS-tier, I think of Vlitra from Asura's Wrath(Though possibly a fair bit weaker).

These are obviously my own opinions, and operate heavily off the assumption that the Animal-based Grimm seen thus far(even the Goliaths) are just the tip of the iceberg. Hydras, Dragons, Demons, and other Mythology-based Grimm are the real heavy-hitters.

... There is a reason the list I made uses numbers instead of letters, and why the lowest number is 1 - I have no idea what RWBYs level cap is. Really! I remember it being mentioned in the commentary for Vol.1 that at some point Ruby will cut the moon in half - or something, i-it's been a while.

Anyways, it's your list, and you should use whatever values you think are appropriate based on what you think the level cap is. Just bear in mind that I don't feel ready to set that cap right now.
