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

"When DB gave a you a free w"

After watching Bakugo vs Reze, I need to ask a very simple but mind consuming question that I've had for awhile now: why can't Death Battle just be honest during a post analysis and say the fight was a complete stomp? Like they had to purposefully downplay Bakugo's physical stats (seriously Death Battle? Are we just forgetting that Bakugo scales to Deku who has fests in the Teratons?) and give Reze a modicum of an advantage in stamina/regeneration to make it seem like it wasn't a complete wash, but anyone with half a brain cell and a modicum of knowledge about MHA would know that Bakugo's sheer stat advantage would vaporize Reze in mere seconds.

I don't mind if an MU is a stomp as long as it's entertaining and well made, but what I do mind is when try to paint it as being far closer than it actually is. Just be honest and say that it's a total stomp, don't try to act as if Reze ever stood a chance when she was never going to win.
 
Dind't they say Bakugou is hundred times fast and stronger, and Reze stamina wouldn't matter tho?

I guess they wanted to make it seem like Reze had some chance to win, to please the Chainsaw Man fandom, so they wouldn’t complain too much about her being put in a fight she couldn’t win or for thme to accuse DB of being biased in favor of MHA.

I personally don't really care about them not bringing up the cloud-splitting feats again when using Bakugo's own feats is much more interesting imo and is more than enough to convey how much stronger he is.

They could have done both.
 
Anyway, Gru VS Megamind next time. Definitely not in my top ten matchups i wanted to see, but at least we finally going to get something more unique and actually interesting.

For sure we are going to get some interesting scaling, things like Gru scaling to Minions who can survive the Moon getting split or Megamind reacting to Metroman's spaceship while travelling across interstellar space.
 
Did you see how much we bitched about BakugoReze being a stomp? They want to avoid casuals thinking that.
I think even a casual viewer, someone who's a fan of both MHA and CSM, could be able to tell they were downplaying Bakugo to early story feats when they know for a fact that he has far more impressive feats later on in the story. Plus it contradicts the scaling of earlier DB episodes because people know where they put Deku, yet they're going to ask why Bakugo wasn't scaled to Deku.

Frankly: I really don't care if the CSM fandom had cried foul over Bakugo winning with non downplayed stats or thought DB was being biased. It doesn't take much research and knowledge to learn that Reze never stood a chance and needed her opponent to be handicapped just to be given a chance.

Yeah but here's the problem: last year's season had Shigaraki in it, someone who Bakugo scales to. And where did Death Battle scale Shigaraki? Country Level, so you don't even need to scale Bakugo to Deku's past stats because of Shiggy.

Like honestly, lean into the fact it's a stomp... rhats the whole point of this Match Up

Oh, I forgot to quote.

Wiz: Impressive, but compare that to Bakugo fighting Shigaraki, who could react fast enough to catch light beams with his bare hands.

Boomstick: That's over a thousand times faster. And that was before Bakugo's Quirk awakening that made him even faster than that!
Boomstick: If this ever became a war of attrition, Reze had it in the bag. Stamina goes to Reze.

Wiz: However, it's unlikely it would ever get to that point. The biggest factor in this fight was always going to be their raw firepower.
Wiz: And the difference is obvious. Based on calculating their sizes, Bakugo's 300 kiloton explosion was over 100 times more powerful than Reze's two kiloton blast.
Wiz: Or just over two megatons of TNT, five times more powerful than the Typhoon Devil, and way beyond anything we've seen Reze do.

Boomstick: And this was Bakugo before reaching his full power in his fight against All For One!
Wiz: Against someone as powerful and fast as Bakugo, she would not get the chance to heal consistently, or perhaps at all.
Yeah they downplayed Bakugou, but what they give was enough to say this is a stomp. I think.

They could just say Bakugou scale to Shigaraki, but they probally think It was not nescessary.
 
I more our less refereeing to how conservative they are with CSM scaling and calcs, makes me think alot of Denjis feats and scaling people love to use will be put underneath a microscope.
 
Mahito was put at nearly a thousand times the speed of sound while Reze was put of over five hundred times the speed of sound (To make matter worse, they mention relativistic Jujutsu Kaisen in a black box for the higher tiers). Mahito was placed at over eight hundred kilotons while Reze was over four hundred kilotons. Things aren't looking too good for Denji

They mentioned that the scaling of Reze won't be possible with Pochita, so Reze doesn't scale to anything with him
 
Well, the animation was actually good and the music too for such a stomp, nicely done, but lets just not do MHA for a while now

We had 3 characters get fights they were stomping and we had the next 2 be lowballed a lot from the first one to seem fair, have other franchises get their screen time, this one is overdone now

Also at least with Gru vs Megamind there can be talks what they get and where they scale at, a lot of unknowns that sparks some talks
 
Gotta be honest, I really liked Ichigo VS Yusuke, but I do find BakuReze to be overall better, mainly on the character side of things. Ichigo, for the most part, was just there while Yusuke stole the show and carried it. On the other hand, Bakugo and Reze did some more noteworthy things: Reze running while headless, choking out Bakugo, and pretending to be a civilian to bite Bakugo. While for Bakugo, it was his maneuver to chuck Reze, his worry over civilians, the sweat exploding from her body, and the whole ass aura-farming he did at the end.

Soul Outsider is better than Bang Bang Bang (it's still good tho).

Both have weapons that can one-shot the other whether through hax or through raw power. That meteor feat from the show upped the chances of MM winning this by a lot since before he would've gotten manhandled by the Mega Minions
