Yep. They're saving alot more stuff for both in the actual episode. From the previews alone, it seems like both are equals. I except blade to edge out in certain categories though when the fight drops knocks on wood.

What is bad about it?

Is the consensus is that blade wins but is close or vice versa atm? Buffys preview was pretty good
- 1,283

128 novels to sift through?
With that amount, I wouldn't be shocked if they pulled an obscure feat from that which could cinch Buffy a win over Blade.
And that's coming from a guy rooting for Blade. Not because he's in Marvel, but because I saw some of his stuff and thought he was cool.
- 11,145
- 10,913
Blade has over 50+ years of comics they need to go over too. Dont count him out lol. And yes, its close, but blade does win imo, none of Buffys equipment have an effect on him because of him being a dhampyre and his body armor being durable enough to tank anything she throws at him, they're about the same stat wise....until you through in the fact Morbius bite him and he drank Draculas blood, his proto-adamantuim swords cut through her like butter, and his breathing gun could work on her if they buy the slayer ritual = black magic= demonic magic.

Does Blade have any resistance/immunity to Buffy turning him to stone?

Wouldn't the breathing gun still one shot with just its AP alone?
- 1,283
- 2,378
I ain't counting him out. Novels are just genuinely more obscure for peeps than comics are, and with her having 128 of them, I wouldn't be surprised if there was something buried in there that turned the tides in her favour.
Again, rooting Blade and prefer him winning, but I wouldn't be shocked if something like that happened.

I do find it funny they made Buffy lightspeed.

From what I can tell Buffy's profile here only covers content that's directly canon to the show (e.g the TV series, Angel spinoff and the Darkhorse comics iirc) however since DB does like using composites, we're getting buffed Buffy (kek!) with 100+ novels, videogames and other sources too.
I know it's VSBW rules to avoid indexing composite profileseven tho several verses and their supporters have circumvented this rule countless times lol but hypothetically what would a composite Buffy be capable of? since Blade is pretty self-explanatory: A street tier with herald level weaponry (just like Rocket and well he it got Stitched up so...).

She has alot of material that hasn't been checked especially the novels

That's what happens when a characters peak in popularity was before the majority of the current verse community was born.

Various characters have more to them then the surface level stuff, video game characters for example have a lot more info then the games give them credit from other materials, especially if its also japanese and may have untranslated stuff to it

Yeah Lightspeed Buffy is gonna sound like crackhead shit to any non-powerscaler fan of the show who hasn't touched the novels or comics. The show's fights are very grounded.

Buffy is a more egregious example than most I won't lie, but this is sort of just a subset of the larger issue that is powerscaling's scientific breakdown of feats vs what's actually happening/narrative importance. It's not like Blade, Wolverine or Spider-Man are purposefully portrayed as lightspeed in their laser dodging feats. It doesn't make sense in the wider scope of their solo stories any more than Buffy's, she just happens to be stuck in a live-action medium without a sfx budget.

Ya know, I get the distinct feeling they're giving all this highballing for Buffy so to make the MU more even if Blade ends up annihilating her.

They legit did the same thing with Ruby and Miles lol
- 52,671
- 46,918
Moreso for Ruby, probably!
- 988
- 2,572
Not really, at least for Ruby, they had to spiel a lot to try to get Ruby to FTL or using things she really shouldn't scale like that bomb, while Buffy (at least going by the previews) is just Oh yeah, she dodged light and scaled to a character who dodged it point-blank.
Can you even definitively call it a "highball" when most haven't read and powerscaled any Buffy novels, comics, or played the games to say so? I also don't really think it's comparable to either Ruby or Miles, at least Buffy has valid and viable ways to win that Miles didn't, without wank or, for Ruby, downplaying Maka severely to win.

Genuinely one of the biggest fumbles death battle ever did lmaoooOh, Happy Sundisk day, today is the day thr kickstarter area started off terribly

Yeah Buffy has arguments even from the old blog she only lost due to speed
It was such a fumble db would've saved themselves the trouble if they argued Nolan was faster and having a chance to wear bardock down and not include ssj to sell Nolan Victory instead of that messOh, Happy Sundisk day, today is the day thr kickstarter area started off terribly

It's not too surprising, unfortunately. When you have a franchise that's dead in terms of its reputation and influence going up against a character from a franchise that has been out of the limelight for years at this point in versus debating, it's no wonder why Ruby vs Maka hasn't gotten the same views as most other KS era epsiodes.
That's why, with all due respect to DB and everyone involved, I personally believe that Ruby vs Maka should've not been the 200th episode. It's a great episode, make no mistake, but I feel like there could've been better options for the 200th episode.

It’s Reddit, they’re gonna be mean no matter what. Just remember their wife is probably sleeping with another man so it’s alrightWhy are anti-powerscalers so mean?

Not really? Ruby has dodged light as well, she is very consistently FTL. And while i disagree with the bomb scaling, she has half a dozen other feats on that level that she directly scales to
Maka on he other hand was severely wanked, they scaled her to stuff she cant do on her own without being amped by her team
