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

Cook that scumbag, 18. She deserves it.
 
Was AkumaKahn really our latest fighting game MU? Almost 4 years old. With 3.1 mil views, ShigarakiMahito essentially catched up to it already :V
 
I actually liked this episode a lot. It was 50% fighting and 50% wacky cartoon hijinks like I hoped. There were many gags that had me chuckling the whole thing (Wile slamming against his own painted tunnel twice and the little umbrella actually shielding him from a crushing object, lol). Honestly, I do get the criticism that the animation felt too tame or that lacked impact, but I believe that's mostly we compare the episode to the original episodes of Tom and Wile's cartoons, which if you guys remember are ridiculously well animated, amazingly fluid, impecable intensity and sharp timing.

I'm happy to see Deku back, but can't say much about Miles since haven't read his comics nor watched the Spiderverse movies.
 
Bro... Tom how did you f*ck up that badly...
"Send me Chinese game scaling, that's base Wile we're up against"

That aside, the episode wasn't kratos vs asura level bad, but i wouldn't consider it the best toon fight either. The animation was great, It kinda just felt slower and less intense than Scooby vs Courage, which is definitely the better toon fight imo.
Agreed

I'll probably have more to say when i rewatch it a couple times, but from the premiere, my biggest nitpick is that tom somehow loses all of his lives from.... 1 Death, which makes absolutely no sense lmao. The post-analysis seemed reasonable on my first watch, though they definitely weren't holding back with saying this was a stomp given that they say tom didn't have any wincons and got blitzed horrendously, which i found a little strange, since they normally do the opposite.
Yeah, i kinda of agree on that, although i can left this behind given it would be annoying and honestly kinda of lame to animate Tom dying nine times on the same fight 💀 (Plus the team would still need to save budget to show the variety of weaponry both have)

the little umbrella actually shielding him from a crushing object, lol
After EVERYTHING he tried failed, it's funny to see that the most simple object he had on his arsenal was the only one which actually worked, lol
 
Happy birthday Nermal.

Huh, it also seems Deku's return was as fast as Omni-man's, they both returned after 28 episodes. Quite fast.
I'm guessing it's because the anime recently ended (or was about to end) so MHA still has a lot of hype around and they have the story over for Deku's full analysis.
 
Idk if you guys noticed this, but the reason Coyote talked at the end of the battle was because he finally got a taste of victory, so he didn't need to remain silent no more

Not sure if i'm dumb and was the only one who didn't perceive this, but that's a pretty fun detail
I noticed and liked it, though I would've preferred Road Runner and Jerry spoiling his fun at the end and/or some cosmic event happening to mess with him
 
Next one is Dexter (and Dee Dee?) vs KND which is interesting. No Jimmy Neutron which is surprising. Isn’t that a stomp for Dexter with his better tech?
KND are capable of combating Father and I believe there has been technology used in the series with the intent of blowing up the Moon Base. So I can see them having a chance especially if Dee Dee is causing Dexter to job
Arent KND technology basically making stuff from like every day stuff around them, while Dexter technology is more kinda advanced? In crossovers he was praised by mojo jojo too

Dexter is way more impressive on a casual level, however just as a sword can be far more impressive than a gun in fiction so is the KND's 2x4 technology. They have flying vehicles capable of spaceflight, various types of hax, hell the moon base can even turn into a giant mech. Granted I don't think they ever go as high concept as Dexter who has stuff like a time machine, but they can definitely compete to some extent to sheer power and versatility. Just a matter of if Dexter's is better or not (I think he is by a good mile but it's not like he's fighting caveman tech)

Dont act like that episode was any good to begin with, senseless composite on Akuma, stiff animation and not to mention the community glazing Akuma and downplaying Kahn, which even here and the verse suffers from
 
Yeah, i kinda of agree on that, although i can left this behind given it would be annoying and honestly kinda of lame to animate Tom dying nine times on the same fight 💀 (Plus the team would still need to save budget to show the variety of weaponry both have)
In the cartoon Tom had his lives pulled by a vacuum and all that, so a single thing taking all his lives isnt any different
 
I think Nigel Uno has something more popular at the moment (I can't remember what), but Numbah 1 vs Kim Possible still comes to my mind whenever discussion KND. Well, that and Father vs Father
 
he didn't glaze it tho nor was about too
TIME TO GLAZE AKUMAKAHN

...weirdly I dont mind it too much. It has a lot of missed potential but I dont mind.

Also AkumaKahn outperformed previous fighting game MUs HeihachiGeese & SabrewulTalbain in views too. Fighting game MUs did not cook for views sadly it seems.
 



This MU actually seems cool. But it suffers the same issues as Kratos vs Asura, where you have to go deep into the legends' lore to justify Vader and Sidious not dying immediately.


Probably the most thematic option for Frieza and Palpatine (yes above even Xehanort for Palps)

Honestly same w Kishin Asura vs Sukuna but in this case you need to wank Sukuna just to make it even physically (Asura wins because his hax is insane but still)

At the time they done those there wasnt much hype going with their franchises, should have used honestly the chance when they were fresh around or when they announced stuff
