Without it, a character like Touka Satomi would be completely unstoppable just because she has Mind Manipulation on a High 2-A scale, without showing other powers. To be honest, abilities like Mind Control don't have a defined dimensional power, and cannot apply to dimensional scaling at all. You can either control the mind or you can't, the type of being is irrelevant in most cases (there are still some cases where a Mind Control would not work, for example if the character has infinetely superior speed, or has a much deeper insight of what is happening which would allow him/her to resist the trivial control of a mind that has already evolved to levels where human's mentality already breaks, thus surpassing the possibility of being controlled by conventional means as the mind shifts to something much more profound and greater (for example, Umineko characters); or like Seb said, when a character is High 1-B to 1-A compared to even a 2-B, the latter simply cannot comprehend the High 1-B/1-A beings).

But anyway, i still fail to see the problem with this thread. Think it this way, Touka is unstoppable, but only against characters who just cannot do anything to her at all/have no resist to Mind Control/have little-to-no hax, however Touka's Mind Control wouldn't work against characters who can resist it/who's nature is beyond the principles of cause (Touka's Mind Control) and effect (the opponent being controlled by her Mind Control).

Not just that, but if a character has some serious OP abilties that can counter Mind Control (for example Existence Erasure, my point in my first comment), then the win guarantee is negated.

Mind Control doesn't automatically make you an excessively overpowered enemy, but logically it's still a way to win a fight depending on the scenario; if the opponent is just so bad in terms of hax that he can literally do nothing against Mind Control and additionally he/she can't even resist Mind Control, than win through Mind Control is a logical way of winning, an easy one, but still usable.
