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

I get that but Silk Song is still one of the biggest games of the year, it should be represented more in comparison. I get wanting to support 33 but all this does is propitiate the stereotype that game journos are bad at games and didn't give one of the biggest games of the year more props cause they got filtered to hard.

That's kinda the whole problem though, in order to give those props you'd have to purposely rig it in order to allow that. Like nothing about this continues the stereotype that game journalist are bad at games since this isn't a skill thing nor do we have any reasonings to assume it, one game just dominated harder in all categories than the rest.

Damn near anyone aware of Clair knew it was going to steal the show at every corner, with only a few things that it could be rivaled at. Sure Silk Song is one of the biggest games of the year, but so is Clair, Hades 2, DK, Kingdom Come 2, and Death Stranding 2. This year was just legit that stacked that games being filtered was just to be expected. Any other year one of these would've been filtering out it's competition
 
Like, this exact same thing is going to happen whenever/if GTA 6 comes out. Unless we go full No Man's Sky or Cyberpunk 2077 with the release this is basically going to decimate any competition regardless on what it faces. Those games may well be some of the best in history, but sometimes there's just no comparisons when comparing mountains

Those would've been useful against Jotaro.

No they wouldn't have, because if you read the part, you'd know they state, verbatim, over a dozen times, DIO was doing everything in his power to stay out of range of Jotaro because he's hypercautious and knows that if he gets within 2m of Jotaro, Star Platinum would cave his skull in (which when exactly that happens, Star Platinum caves his skull in).

So do tell, how is DIO using biomanip, mind hax, life force drain and absorption, and a few dozen other abilities that duraneg but need him to make contact to do so, when the entire fight was spent around how he can kill Jotaro without entering Star Platinum's range? Which by proxy is also his range for those abilities.

This is rhetorical, they wouldn't have been useful, Jotaro is about the single person on the planet at the time they wouldn't be useful against because he can't even get close to him as he can move in stopped time and mangle him.

Tell me what would happen if DIO got close to Tanjiro instead.

The Game Awards are an awards ceremony predominantly decided by game insiders (journalists). It's not rigging when there's a couple hundred people who all know each other, that's just how these kinds of events function. A group of people who all know each others names make decisions based on their similar tastes, as well as on the way others are voting.
What I'm saying is that a group that could fit in a school auditorium should try to diversify their taste even a little, so they don't look like a unified group with one brain. There's a reason why most people don't actually give a shit about the awards and only care about the reveals, because most people can just intuit that this isn't really a good representation of the gaming public at all and the awards part is just Geoff and his friends to jerk each other off for 3 hours.

Wild how Gabe Newell did nothing and won. Steam is truly the IRL Mary Sue

Don't interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake as they say. When your competition is constantly shooting itself in the foot until theres a stump left, gaining good will becomes a LOT easier. Especially when you actually do what customers like

That would imply that Steam has in any way tried in the last decade and a half and haven't just been coasting off the stuff they already have. Steam's greatest strength (and weakness) is it's ability to stay the same and refuse to change.

Like the things that wouldn't have worked on Jotaro?
Click to expand...
i mean... Tanjiro can't move in Time Stop... so flesh bud or hyposis are an easy GG

or Flesh Freezing, or turning him into a Zombie, or absorbing all his blood till he is dry

People like to meme on part 1 for being weak but like... DIO's part 1 abilities are still pretty OP in modern JOJO... like, there are many stands i would argue he beats just by being a vampire lol

Those are all things he resists or DIO couldn't do mid-Time Stop.

And that's assuming he has all his Part 1 powers.
 
 
Omegabronic said:
I see no resistances to bloodsucking or Flesh Freezing, nor hypnosis or flesh buds


I mean... he does, but you don't even need to go there

Edit: also i am pretty sure he can just... use TW to stop his heart or choke him
Click to expand...
Even if any of those were in his Standard Tactics, even just DIO not having the AP to break his skin is enough for most of these, nor would Hypnosis work on someone like him since he's not used it on pretty much anyone else but the two, electing to just pay his Part 3 minions shitloads of money to kill Jotaro.

Nah, even the first vampire we saw on the series can just... suck on touch, Dio didn't had wounds afterwards... piercing is not a nessecity

I mean... i don't see any mind manip resistance, DIO would eventually do it if nothing else works

I mean... yeah? He did use flesh buds tho, so he would use vampire abilities if he felt like he needs it

Also... choking would just win

A billion free actions because of time stop so he gets to do whatever he wants free.
Even without time stop, a billion free actions because he's literally 10,000,000x faster than him.

So, regardless of calc validity or stats, basically everything would happen, free.

Freezing is actually extremely standard for him, it's just useless against Stand users because you can't freeze stands (without NPI) and they're the main issue in Part 3. In fact, this has actually been commented on, the only reason Dio doesn't use his vampire powers in Part 3's final fight, is simply because Stands made them obsolete. Outside of Stand fights we see him use them all the time still, hell flesh buds is even a new and improved version of his vampire powers. Which is actually technically speaking his lead.

Dio doesn't need to break skin to freeze what? Not a single time he's ever froze involved breaking skin. Nor would it given the mechanics of it involve temperature withdrawal and flash vaporization.

Numerous of his minions in Part 3 were actually mind controlled in various ways such as Enya, Nijimura's father, and it's stated thousands more across the planet had spores in them.

Also for "blood sucking", please do not forget Dio has bio manip and fusionism, in fact, every vampire does, they don't need to "break" the skin, they can fuse with it directly to drain. Ironically Dio himself was a victim of that one time.
