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

Phoenix vs Raven is still worse than this outcome-wise

True, but like besides that, this MU def has sides that do not budge. And sure, maybe some other debatable MUs are also like that, but Sentry's wincons are so much contested. I feel like say Megamind and Yuji sides were respected. Majority does not buy into Sentry.

Despite the fact that going by DB's modus operandi it works in Sentry's favor. Sentry's stat arguments are not consistent but they are just enough workable that they can get a pass. Meanwhile Prime's weaknesses and Sentry's abilities are notable enough to work, which also favors Sentry. So uhh yeah, Sentry likely resists Retcon punch and is close enough to Prime in stats, while Prime is vulnerable to Sentry's hax n stuff. But hey it is better than PhoenixRaven. That one really gets ignored because no one care about Phoenix enough to stay mad.

Idk, Sentry has a bunch of hax that basically could
overwhelmed prime, but it's ironic how prime can resist at most all of Sentry's powers, like molecular/matter manipulation,elemental Powers,mind/memory manipulation,disease,etc...etc, asíde of the fact that they are pretty much unkilliable in their own ways that a permakill kill it's complicarted for both sides that a temporally kill can still be effective in DB standards

The only proper wincon i can see for Sentry it's via corrupting prime to attack his own soul, but he has actually resisted that kind of stuff before.

Even then, the arguments of Sentry resisting the Retcon Punch for me are still very iffy at Best and are of on misinterpretation, ok , not saying sentry cannot survive the Retcon Punch at all, he can survive some effects, but it's doubtful of him surviving at it's fully extend.

Still, if its just a resistance, it will eventually be worn out. Sentry also has good regular regen to help too. If these guys are close in stats and in resistances, having more useful abilities could be an advantage enough to matter.

The same apply to Prime regeneration too, that he even regenerated from the guardians removing him atom by atom and he was just fine and Even come back from existence erasure too. And prime can recharge himself with Sentry's energy and viceversa that's still a stalement. And if one has more abilities that the other but he's counter's/resist all of it What does he have left to get rid of it?

Something I don't see people bringing up in this discussion a lot is the fact that Sentry also has access to CLOC. He's going to know Prime's weaknesses and everything so it's not like he'd be unknowingly charging up Prime with his attacks on top of having access to knowing what could actually hurt him like being weak to red sun radiation.

I know Prime has his '4th wall' knowledge of DC stuff but I don't think that extends to Marvel so it's not like he's going to know all of Sentry's stuff, but I could be wrong on that.

What is CLOC?

I know Prime has his '4th wall' knowledge of DC stuff but I don't think that extends to Marvel so it's not like he's going to know all of Sentry's stuff, but I could be wrong on that.

Thing about in universe knowledge of another series, it has to be stated or shown, cuz 4th wall awareness wont grant him knowledge of other franchises outside his medium, prime has no crossovers with marvel in the slightest right? Or anything of that nature he could be aware either is that so?

 

[SpecterSkater]

What is CLOC?

CLOC is Sentry's ai buddy that's a computing system that (I believe) Reed Richards helped set up that scans everything everywhere and everywhen to help tell Sentry where trouble is happening on top of giving him up to date analysis on things he's fighting. It'd be able to scan Prime's biology and give Sentry all the knowledge he'd need to know about how to combat him.

Yeah that was why I left myself open to being corrected on that front. I'm not personally aware of Prime being in any of the Marvel vs DC crossovers but I'm also no Prime scholar so there's probably a mini-event 6 or so years ago that had him arm wrestle with Gladiator or something.

It is, but still it's not that a major factor altogether, it can potencially tell Sentry what Powers prime has and his mental estate but idk if it can tell what kind of weakness prime has and given how prime is now more mentally estable...hmmm, and even it can actually tell prime weakness to the red sunlingth, his armor can convert it to yellow sunlight or recharge witn Sentry energy,


(And it's kinda implied he's a Marvel fan too so....)

I mean having total knowledge over what your opponent is weak to when your opponent doesn't is kind of a major factor. If it tells Sentry that his armor can convert energy Sentry can just... get rid of the armor. Prime himself can some sort of resistance to matter manipulation apparently but I'm pretty sure that doesn't cover his armor, and it's not like he can just regenerate his armor.

And Rick vs the Doctor showed us DB doesn't believe 'can reference the opponent in their own series' means that they have total knowledge over their capabilities that gives them an informational edge.

Oh god, it's the "power cosmic instantly knows everything" argument again. There's a difference between knowing something and then being able to actually do it, sentry can't.

Also it's only been like 3 months where we get confirmation that prime has read and knows about marvel. Canon 616 comics I might add

Huh. So it's kinda canon.... Neat

Yeah in the background we can see spidermans ASM run, death metal and infinite crisis as well.

We also see the sinestro corps run for prime later

Any of you guys play that new Suda game? Romeo is a deadman?
