Its people still request to them Wesker to fight Kazuya, are they really so stupid to think he can do anything even after tackling in the cast

It really better not end up Omniman vs Homelander route to occur just for the sake of getting them in

It’s literal just people wanting to see a cool fight animation, why you call them stupid for that?

Whats so cool about feeding a character with no advantages to one who one shot blitzed them, its about as bad as Mark vs Gohan, you dont get anything cool from an animation stand point, they even did a cast for it and they still request it

That’s the thing, you don’t have to animate it as a stomp. Dragon souls was a stomp, did I see you complain about it being a stomp? Was it animated as a stomp? Megaman BR was a stomp, did I see you complain about it being a stomp?

I know what they're going for, and if we were solely limited by those metrics then I agree, but Rexy didn't even do shit in that episode when she should have reduced Sue to paste based on the feats and scaling we have in Jurassic Park/World.

Kazuya Mishima vs Albert Wesker (Tekken vs Resident Evil): They think it's cool, but they note that thanks to Tekken 8, a lot of matchups about Tekken have becomes stomps.

This one and Ryu vs Jin were stomps before T8 anyway

So they believe now many of their MUs are unfair now, i assume they believe high tiers scale to a certain degree to top tiers (Mishimas) for that to be like this

Prob there most popular I assume
Ryu vs Jin pre t8 could've been debated given how the community scales Ryu even if ya find it stupid but it's there
Kazuya vs Wesker is just no reality kazuya ain't dogwalking in base from a crossover standpoint

Some matches are incredibly obvious, its no point to paint them in animation as if its fair

It was fueled mainly by Death Battle, cuz before that episode those trying to scale street fighter werent so braindead about whats counted for the series, now they spam the crossover meteor and udon comics as if its fine, the akuma episode used even more crossovers too and even the blog by one of the researchers counted various of them
 
Goku vs Superman is a more special match, even so supes notoriously holds back and goku goes from weakest to strongest forms as it goes, it makes sense some points have supes be pushed bck by him

It was still a stomp though, it doesn't matter if it was a legacy MU or something, Supes was pretty much the obvious winner. And yet, the episode itself was goated and the fight was fun as hell. Tipper mentioned that Wesker can't match Kazuya's more high scale stuff (idk if it's true, I don't play RE and Tekken), if that's the case then just say that. Say that the MU just has bad animation potential, because just having an obvious victor doesn't ruin the episode, as long as the animation can still be fun as hell.
 
Also, strange question, but what matches would become better tenfold if looked at from a story perspective, and not by logic?

For recent episodes, and I know it's crazy, but I think Omniman vs Bardock fits this bill. Like yeah with everything Bardock should have stomped hard, but I couldn't actually imagine him winning if say, Toriyama was writing it, you know?

Kratos vs Asura

Superman vs Scarlet king comes to mind (even though the MU itself is dogshit)

EDIT: I misunderstood the question, Kratos vs Asura's ending does NOT look good if looked from a story perspective

A matrix sorta character in a zombie apocalypse setting to you sounds like it matches to a character fighting in outer space on a falling meteor while bringing you into their personal dimension to perform a dbz style beam energy and blows up in your face and the dimension in question hosting celestial objects?

I am not familiar with either series, I just literally said this. If their fighting styles indeed just don't mesh, then say that instead of "muh debate" because DB at this point has done alot of stomp MUs of varying quality.

Another one I've just remembered (and also an actually good MU that is obscure, so I'm going to promote it rn) would be Mecha Sonic vs the Chasm. If you read the contrasts, it makes alot of sense for Mecha Sonic to take a W from a narrative point of view (And it helps alot that he also wins from a VS debating point of view).

Most of them shouldnt have happened and others were done in a way to compensate how obviously easy was to tell its unfair, like omniman vs homelander and spongebob vs aquaman

Yeah, sure, Dracula vs Ganondorf, Magneto vs Tetsuo and Popeye vs Saitama shouldn't have happened, got it.
 
look stomps are nothing new lets be real here

the real issue when it comes to stomp be whether either characters have nothing to play off each other to make up for as decent story telling or interesting fight perspective

another factor comes down to scale
EX: chief vs slayer is a stomp for the latter but slayer ain't nuking planets or stars everytime he fights hell he doesn't do shit far beyond what chief deals with in general
