Does [だけど] have some grammatical function with [ほど]？


I saw this combination in the following part of a story:

> ステータスを見る限りではブラさんすら負ける **ほどだけど** 、ブラさん的にはそんなに脅威ではないっぽい？

I read that normally ほど is used in several patterns, [for
example](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/53329/what-
does-%E3%81%BB%E3%81%A9-mean/53331#53331) "A + ほど + B" to mean "The more A,
the more B" and could have their meaning easily changed changing with what
comes after the hodo by "[itself](https://maggiesensei.com/2012/10/10/how-to-
use-%E7%A8%8B-%E3%81%BB%E3%81%A9-hodo/)". But still I can't connect these
information (if it's true) because with だけど, in my point of view (up to now)
だけど is normally used in form of conjunction (alone) but being used straightly
after hodo, makes my head confused.

**Context**

There were three subjects in the scene, with one their being the subject in
the quotation above (being mentioned before the quotation by itself).




I think it is けど rather than だけど in the first place.

The overall structure is

  * ステータス...だ + けど、+ ブラさん...?

ほど by itself means degree. As a pattern AはBほどだ can be translated _A is about
B_ or _A is such that B_.

The implicit subject of the first clause is status, so it translates:

  * Looking at the status, it (=the status) is such that even bura-san can be beaten

This should usually worry bura-san. The second clause says (the speaker's
guess of being) otherwise, so it is connected by けど= _but_.

**[Edit]**

In above, it would be more precise to consider the person with that status as
a subject, but I think in general it does not make much difference. To be even
more precise, you have to consider what quality is being talked about.

  * Looking at the status, his/her strength/ability is such that he/she can beat bura-san; or
  * ..., he/she is strong/good enough to beat bura-san.

As another example, consider

  * 私の息子は大きくなって見上げるほどだ

which translates

  * My son has grown up, he/his height is such that I have to look up (to see his face).

To get a proper translation, you have to think about all the implicit
elements, of course. But in terms of understanding the sentence semantically,
`AはBほどだ = A is such that B` looks good enough to me.
