Aaaaand there it is. "You're objectively wrong to enjoy the thing I currently hate, it deserves the worst, you deserve the worst, the agenda matters more than anything"

Keep it classy Death Battle thread, its only the fandoms you don't like that are the 'insufferable' ones. You guys are never a chore to skim through to check on update, certainly not.

Oh shit, it's Ichigo True Shikai! I didn't even notice that when I watched the video.

Anyway, I liked the episode. I don't really have a lot of emotional attachment to either character, but I had a closer connection to Ash, so I'm sad he lost, but I accept it.

Genuinely? I really didn't care for the action...a lot of it felt weightless where clashes and movement didn't carry anything behind the attacks...like Pikachu being blocked by Dark Magician's staff? Felt so limp...

The beginning of the fight animation was a lot worse than later parts of it (still, I think the part where Yugi summoned Horakhty and had Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl combine their magic to attack felt really weird and floaty, if that makes sense).

I'm not sure I'd rank this obe particularly high, it was structured a lot like how people compare Bowser V Eggman, but it really pales as an army battle. Wish I was more impressed but I'm just not...

I can agree with that.

As for blade vs buffy, that... was honestly a snooze fest. Analysis from what I can tell was alright at least, with a few neat gags, but right from the jump of the fight, I was thinking 'did this really need to be a Death Battle?'. Not in MU potential or dynamics per se (I know nothing of either character's greater history), but in direction (it felt like it wanted to be, for lack of a better term, it's own thing, when the great thing about current DBa's is that they actually get vaguely straight to the point). I find myself reminded of an Overly Sarcastic Productions video on idiot plots where 'some conflicts could be resolved with 10s of punch-free communication', and that's another one of my bigger problems with the setup, not helped later in where Blade is halfway through explaining why he shot that wanton sacrifice, only to stop randomly then get headbutted/thrown off by Buffy. It was also out of line for Buffy to wise crack about Blade's lost head, when the entire reason she wanted to pursue a fight was because of one girl lost to the vague cult shit.

As a corollary to the above - Compare in KratosAsura when Asura first throws a punch, to when the actual 'Blade vs Buffy' part of the fight actually begins. Keep in mind how KratosAsura is also dunked on for being slow and clunky. I think you know what I'm implying.

I've also heard it critiqued that Nightwing vs Daredevil felt too much like 'two actors trying desperately not to hurt each other', and that goes doubly here. The FX are quite evidently phoned in, and they look tacked on as a result. See again the above KratosAsura comparison, and how few attacks are thrown there, it feels similar in BuffyBlade IMO.

3 or 4 / 10 IMO. That race for the bottom is going to be close.

They shared the spotlight somewhat evenly with Ash's Pokemons and Yugi's card, wich made some GOAT pokemon seem like jobbers, Yugi's case is even worse imo, since we didn't even get Yugi's Silent Magician, who is one of his signature cards (The same one who defeated Atem.)
Funny how in the end hax/ability/versatility wasn't even one of the main factors, but raw Unga Bunga strength. Both sides just fought eachother in a slugfeast and a lot of counters/formations and special interactions between monsters and mons, as well as hax based wincons both fandoms hypothesized weren't even brought up, and at best shown as cameos.
Kinda wish it started more slow with both sides using strategy/versatility while keeping the playing field somewhat even as they one-up eachother to then devolve into raw ungabunga blasts from their stronger pokemon. Granted the characters looked very good, and while sometimes their movements seemed a bit slow and lacked impact the Top dogs for both sides did their job well.
8.5/10 for me.
 
Choreography and impact felt a bit weightless (a problem with most of their 3D battles to be fair) and the ending left a lot to be desired, but I enjoyed the research and all the Pokemon cameos/references.

7/10 me thinks.

8.5/10. Wouldve preffered a clash death instead of ash getting his attack redirected but what can you do

Agree, coulda at least have been a more iconic trap like mirror force, or the infinite damage loop Yugi pulls off in the DSOD movie. Horakhty's Dejeuse also seemed more like raw petrification hax as opposed to something with more power behind it. Wich is fine since it's like that in the anime, but for Yugi's strongest ace it kinda feels like Ash got done in by basic petrification hax.
 
that being said if pochito ate one the monsters, would that specific/card/monster be erased from everyones deck
 
buffy is also a fraud who needs a rift cutting spell she dosent know to cut dollar store adamantium (Day one of buffy slander)

Yeah if that's what the matchup is I'm kinda bummed because I like 'em both but at this point they're practically giving Ichigo a pity win here.

What are even the connections? They’re kinda ghost hunters? At least with Danny there the same age and have similar power sets plus coming back from the dead motif
