DEATH BATTLE! Discussion Thread (All-time Death Battle Spoilers Alert)

[TMaakkonen]

Modern DB is surprisingly accurate unironically barring a few matchups here and there like Omni-Dock. It's certainly strange.

Actual results and winner sure, but even reasonings are flawed enough that you could probably find notable oddities in every modern MU.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

It's the main antagonist from an analog horror on YouTube.

Well im siding her out of loyalty if the pfp wasnt a given

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Another example of people being dumb, reaction or combat speeds dont equal travel speed, Kratos isnt know for travelling fast

 

[Huzy]

He should've thrown his son to the top of the mountain and then jumped to the top himself because that's how compelling stories and games work.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Ofc they gotta ask him in desperation lol

I thought it was that one girl from Shield Hero.

Common mistake to confuse the two

God of War if it was written by Zack Snyder:

 

[Deidalius]

lol, theyre baiting BAITING for a definite response from him

 

[Deidalius]

The mountain warps space and time, it is actually bigger than our universe. It is so big that someone who is quintillion times the speed of light would take hours to cross it. That and it is full of enemies that can fight you at quintillions of times faster than light so in the end a journey to the mountain top might take days, months even.

...all of that for my omniversal queen Reimu Hakurei to blitz and reach the mountain in an attosecond. She would solve all of Kratos problems in a single night.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

So Ghost Rider vs Spawn we are clear on the winner unless Death Battle brings something new for the latter

 

[Greatsage13th]

A banger theme by the great priest, ZUN.

 

[TMaakkonen]

LolMarvelCosmology makes GR stronger at peak, but Spawn might have hax to survive GR's. VSW Profiles mention omnipresence, time travel and holy manipulation, but it depends are these fraud powers or real, or are they enough still.

he's a priest?

More like a nickname than the actual occupation.

Well we gotta wait and see

This RPG game straight up copies other characters and isnt subtle either with it

I want to date Satoria.

I feel like these designs would've a lot better if they were more legally distinctive. Like referencing the character is cool and all, and its probably the main draw of the game, but this is basically just be copyright infringement

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Dont think the intent is to be a reference only given how they all look

 

[CharlesZaGreat]

It isn't, clearly, since they use the exact same symbol's (Turtle Hermit Gi and Wings of Freedom) that are from their series rather than creating off-brand one's. Jotaro and Dio straight just have their stands. I feel like more legally distinct designs would make this appealing because the idea of shonen action heroes getting rule 63'd is kind of cool.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Im surprised there was no kind of sue so far due to the blatant copyright

Really?

 

[Stefano4444]

This thumbnail got a chuckle out of me, not going to lie. But the video itself? You can probably what type of video it is.

Lets me guess, its not even about Death Battle itself but its just shit-talking about Dragon Ball powerscalers and how they wank the series and how pathetic the verse trully its compare to "legit" universal busters like Chad Kratos?

 

[CharlesZaGreat]

So, the idea of a Death Battle fighting game is always popular, but I want to see who would be prioritized with a limited roster (While characters from repeating franchises are allowed, I think we'd go for the main rep from a series being prioritized. Let's go with a base roster of 32)

1. Mario
2. Sonic the Hedgehog
3. Mega Man X
4. Cloud Strife
5. Link
6. Ryū
7. Jin Kazama
8. Terry Bogard
9. Felecia (No Morrigan Aensland yet)
10. Raiden (Mortal Kombat)
11. Ragna the Bloodedge
12. Sol Badguy
13. Doomguy
14. Dante
15. Frank West
16. Leon S. Kennedy
17. Asura
18. Kratos
19. Samus Aran
20. Joker
21. Son Gokū
22. Ichigo Kurosaki
23. Naruto Uzumaki
24. Satoru Gojō (No Yuji, but Gojō is popular as hell)
25. Makima (No Denji, Makima is popular as hell though)
26. Giorno Giovanna (Jōtarō Kūjō seem like the more obvious pick, but I wanted to use the most recent protag that has appeared in the show)
27. Natsu Dragneel
28. Astro Boy
29. Ruby Rose
30. Spider-Man
31. Superman
32. Optimus Prime

Season 1 (Tracer, Luke Skywalker, Pikachu, Aang)
Season 2 (Kirby, Leonardo, Terminator, Sora)
Season 3 (Pit, Batman, Samurai Jack, Vegeta)
Season 4 (Kenshirō, Bowser, Shadow the Hedgehog, Lucy)
Season 5 (Chun-Li, Iron Man, Darth Vader, Mai Shiranui)
Season 6 (Bayonetta, Spawn, Misaka Mikoto, Alex Mercer)

(I'll let you decide future seasons)

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Was it a popular idea?

I saw recent twitter post about it and there's a whole deviantart concept

 

[CinnabarManx421]

I see a lot of people saying Ghost Rider will stomp cause they scaled him to Galactus in Vs Lobo, but from what I remember they never scaled him to Galactus, just mentioned that the Penance Stare worked on him.

Zarathos scales to the likes of Odin and Galactus

 

[ShiftCtrlAltDeleteTabFn]

From what I recall, the context for this scene is that Kratos and Arteus are going to this mountain to spread Faye's (Kratos's wife and Arteus's mother) ashes. It's supposed to be a somber moment, and there's no need for Kratos to move that fast here.

(That's also ignoring that reaction speed and movement speed are very different things, especially in video games).

 

[TMaakkonen]

Funny enough Spawn's suit apparently is like a Venom, biological being, which rather infamously managed to counter Penance Stare.

No

Zarathos or Ghost Rider without Johnny Blaze limiting him is scaled to Galactus via fighting Mephisto

Penance stare was never argued to be done on Galactus and the scene showing that is just from the 90s cartoon of Fantastic Four

Which i brought up several times pages ago, im curious if Spawn symbiotic like suit will prove to be preventing Ghost Rider killing him with that

 

[HenshinIntervention]

His Hellfire alone can bypass dura and attack Spawn, unless Spawn has resistance to getting his soul attacked directly.

 

[Loh67867]

Spawn does resist soul manip

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Spawn does resist soul manip

Devouring it, but destroying it?

 

[BlackDarkness679]

 

[Loh67867]

Devouring it, but destroying it?

...Isn't that the same thing? Especially for Zarathos, who literally eats souls iirc

 

[HenshinIntervention]

Spawn does resist soul manip

So all it comes down to is AP because Ghost Rider has an ungodly amount of resistances as well

 

[HenshinIntervention]

Devouring it, but destroying it?

If you eat something, do you not destroy it?
