Death Battle Season Eight Discussion Thread (2) (All-time Death Battle Spoilers Alert)

[Jasonsith]

Oh Alfred Pennysworth... Why is nobody talking about him when they want a DC loss against a non-Marvel? Lots of combat butlers will love slaughtering him.

Because everyone likes Alfred.

He's right you know^^^

Alfred does get so much love to the point people spare him for a conquest of finding a loss for DC against non-Marvel.

Any popular MU's that you guys just don't like one bit?

For me, there's John Wick vs The Bride (Kill Bill)

I understand that it's super thematic, and the set up could be really nice for the animation, but they actual choreography for the fight doesn't really mesh well. John Wick is all about gunplay and Beatrix mostly focuses on h2h and swordplay. While she does carry a gun, she rarely uses it, so this mostly comes down to one opponent needing to do act differently in combat than they usually do.

This fight isn't impossible, I just don't see Death Battle pulling this off.

The fight can be close though (kay John Wick is stronger for the reinforced glass shattering feats) but otherwise they are very even. And John Wick can use a sword so a brief gun fight followed by a sword fight and martial arts fight is totally feasible and exciting. Both can use surroundings to their best so fights like that will be awesome.
Just it has to be live action or 3D model with great mocap actors but those talents can be hard to find.

Bruce: "I told you Tony, you didn't want this fight and now you must paid the price"

Tony: "Heh... h-how much!?!"

Bruce: "Too much for you to afford"

Bruce then sues him

And proceeds to by stocks in both Stark Industries and Lexcorp now that both CEO's have mysteriously passed away

Still needs Superman and others to teach him to chant the Life Equation just in case a certain cosmic tyrant comes up.
Likely needs to bargain with a certain monarch of Latveria.

He better watch out, heard that Doom guy is a mighty mean haggler

 

[BlackDarkness679]

We know somehow I-No >= Homura >> Sakuya > Hit >> Kurumi > Dio > Diavolo. And yes Akuma Homura will be canon so there is no excuse not suing that form.
Just do we have more well-known time stoppers or just... time manipulator characters?

Doesnt mean you use a form if a character cant use it normally or isnt standard, temp amps or such are a thing and Death Battle had moments they didnt use such stuff on various characters matches

 

[The_Smashor]

Also, can we talk about how the rock the size of Manhattan was probably an exaggeration on Tony's part? Like, he's Tony ******* Stark, "The size of Manhattan" absolutely sounds like a turn of phrase. There's no way he knows the exact size of Manhattan and then proceeded to figure out the rock was that size.

The comic scans for the feat, before the feat and after the feat thanks. Then we can determine.
Remember, sometimes we come across verses with a lot of statements (sometimes circling statements) with almost no comparable direct feats. Now there is a feat where size can be determined.
And if the statement with the dimensions comes from Iron Man, likely the calculations by a person aided with state-of-the-art AI are good enough to determine the size of the rock right?
Just my 2 cents.

They can spell the specific verse sure. (Miles Morales vs Static and Wally West vs Archie Sonic say hi.) Otherwise the main canon will be used. Unless one wants to argue Rebellion is non-canon at all. But then PMMM Rebellion is a story written by Mr Gen Urobuchi and acts as a sequel in the television series so there is no excuse to consider that as non-canon.

Any popular MU's that you guys just don't like one bit?

Gohan vs Invincible
It's literally a diet coke version of Gohan vs Superboy and even worse Mark has nothing to offer that Superboy can't do

Outside connections the MU is straight up

Not a fan of Satsuki vs Kevin/Bruno either

 

[Loh67867]

Any popular MU's that you guys just don't like one bit?

Hit vs Sakuya

 

[TMaakkonen]

I guess closest to "dislike" are:

Trunks vs Silver, Rouge vs Sly, Piccolo vs MM, Meta Knight vs Zero, probably any Gohan fight.

Really, they are relative to their popularity bit too meh/boring. They should've done em ages ago, seems like time has gone from them as they are not that popular anymore it feels like.

I guess some comic MUs are like this too, like Catwoman vs Black Cat and whatnot.

Maka Vs. Ruby...again

Maka Vs. Ruby...again

Maka vs Ruby's connections are kinda surface level, but the episode being a thing was literally someone's dying wish so it's pretty clearly gonna be a thing.

 

[XitSign]

I mean it wasn't just any "someone"

I know, and I've accepted it will happen, I just have 0 personal interest or hype...

 

[The_Smashor]

To be fair seeing Maka fight just about anyone would be at least a little hype.

 

[Tipper17]

I Fairly understand not being all excited over Ruby vs Maka especially at this point if it feels like there just waiting for Ruby to get any possible upgrades to rival or surpass Maka

 

[The_Smashor]

IIRC it was specifically requested they wait until after RWBY ends.

 

[XitSign]

I did love Soul Eater, getting to see Crona be reconized by DB was pretty exciting.

But something about it being Ruby just does nothing for me. I'd love to see Maka and Soul, especially seeing them animated the black blood dress thing, but with them fighting...anyone else?

Then again I'm the Banjo guy so what I need for hype is hard to pin down

 

[Derpmaster9000]

Don't really see Ruby getting anything that'll give her an edge over Maka. Just can't, not with Miles and Kerry's writing track record anyway.

I remember

Fair lol we been what 8 volumes and they barely have any worthwhile upgrades since

 

[Nero415]

Maka vs Ruby's connections are kinda surface level, but the episode being a thing was literally someone's dying wish so it's pretty clearly gonna be a thing.

The connections surprisingly aren't surface level from what I know. Someone went in depth on them.

Any popular MU's that you guys just don't like one bit?

Yang vs Bakugo (RWBY VS My Hero Acadamia)

It actually one of my most wanted MU and such fight should definitely be on live action, or if not 3d should work too.

 

[CinnabarManx421]

Damn that was… better than I was expecting. I think they portrayed both of their personalities really well, minus Bill really going hard on that Chicken Wing joke that was kind of annoying. But the animation was super good. The research I won’t bother touching on cause subjectivity and all that.

None claimed it as non canon, you cane up with that, i said just cuz something is canonz doesnt mean they will include it for the character arsenal, as it can be a temporary thing or not standard use for the character

 

[Hunterzillas]

What's a unpopular Mu you like that others don't seem to understand

Gilgamesh vs The Emperor of Mankind.

I'm starting to replace that idea with Reinhard Heydrich vs The Emperor, but I still love the first MU, and it's disheartening knowing that no one else favors it.
