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

It's so funny that Goku himself is in the 0-3 crowd, and all to the same guy!
Is just sad actually, atleast other characters who return just still be in a L streak had a chance against their opponent.

Except Batman, he kinda loses all his episode without outside equipament.
 
Do we really count it being 0-3, when DB themselves say GvS1 & 2 are outdated?
Outdated Ls are still Ls

It's funny when you both don't like Dragon Ball and like DB fanboys crashing out over Goku holding a third L in a row

Me who actually thinks Batman still beats Captain America.

Yes because otherwise results get wacky.

I dont like it, but there were 3 different episodes where Goku lost. Being remake doesnt negate prior result. I also count BobaSamus2 as different ep, even if that one seemingly doesnt count.
 
Archaon vs Lich King.
Or, Nagash vs The Jailer

And it is entirely on Archaon's side, because Warhammer Fantasy stuff is sometimes hard to come by, has some lost media, and there's a lot of random shit you need to go through, like old games and comics, to fully research them. Same with Age of Sigmar

And Nagash vs Jailer forces both that, plus doing the uo to interpretation BS of Shadowlands.
good lord what i wouldnt give for these match ups
 
I got interested after seeing Cuphead vs Death be a semi popular matchup on reddit so I decided to see if I missed something from Cuphead that would make it a debatable fight and Cuphead gets absolutely wrecked bro. Even on this site Cuphead is small city level with supersonic speeds while Death is universal with FTL speeds and like 10x the amount of abilities that Cuphead has.

I don't want to sound dismissive or anything but how did this matchup get any kind of traction with how much of a stomp it is?

Which Death is being used and how is popular is the media he is from?
 
A question i always had, but what's the most brutal DB matchup yall can come up researchwise?
Not as in the original material being bad, but just involving series that are really hard to powerscale, as in lots of material to research + Material that's hard to get + Highly non linear content/cross scaling + heavily dependent on interpretation?

I think something like Fujimaru Ritsuka vs Digimon Cyber sleuth protagonist is one of the most hellish matchups ever made in that sense. But does anything top that?
The last few pages here had a pitch for Jonesy vs Richtofen and I could not fathom a more fitting hell to put the Death Battle researchers through than to force them to play through every single update of Fortnite and every installment of CoD, on top of reading through all the supplementary material featured in both their games.

That's not even covering the licensed crossover material which are official canon to Fortnite's story or the powerscaling of feats due to the multiple timelines chicanery from CoD: Zombies lore.

How death Uni?

You can check his page on here: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Death_(Have_a_Nice_Death)
The 2nd to last boss, Time, has a statement of wiping out a timeline manipulating enemy with a wave of his hand.

Even if you don’t buy that, there’s a basic enemy that canonically shoots nuclear warheads at you that you can completely tank. The ending of one of the boss battles even has Death completely tank a massive explosion
 
Oh its Doovad, he did first part of CellMetal.

...Deadass, how much has AangTraveler been talked here? Its even worse than BakugoRezen lmao

I mean what's there to discuss most here probably either haven't played or haven't kept up with Genshin to talk about anything noteworthy and essitantly everyone here assumes Aang will lose. BakuReze at least was a "meme" match from two popular shonens.

AangTraveler probably will be better than BakuReze anyhow.

Yeah.

Its bit funny, AangTraveler has been known for 23 months. Almost 2 years of boogeymanning. Its probably 3rd most confirmed DB since GalactusUnicron & RubyMaka lok

Everyone already complained it these months. We truly are in "just get it over" with phase. I am curious to see will it truly match the big 3 modern view failures, or will it be just standard view failure A or B.
 
Yeah, if anyone else remembers, MachoKoolaid, BlaseMikasa, KilluaMisaka are modern eps that failed to reach 1 mil views in months. Does anyone remember if older DBs struggled like that? And can AangTraveler escape this fate?
 
The thing I never understood is that if they wanted to do a Genshin Impact matchup why not just do Xiao vs Illidan? It was evidently popular enough in their eyes to be a part of the first ever Champion's Poll and from what I understand (though I could be wrong) it's not a massive stomp like Aang vs Traveler. You get to have your genshin matchup, it's not a giga stomp, you don't gotta deal with the optics of a beloved cartoon protag getting fed to a gacha character, and it lets you use another WoW character instead of bringing back a character who already had a matchup.

I don't think it'll view that bad, I'd argue Aang alone is more notable compared to everyone else you mentioned especially in a verses sense, that's not even taking account Genshins general popularity and the Avatar movie that releases the day before the fight.

True, but AangTraveler being a views bomb was one of the biggest things talked last 23 months for it.

I mean Kickstarter funds did start to wind down after it was announced, and it only recovered after HulkGodzilla was announced lol

Because that matchup is a stomp. They'd read the Illidan novel, and oh shit, you get to chapter 19 of that book and Illidan is shown blowing up a planet. And the Burning Legion is repeatedly shown and stated to be blowing up planets in the same novel.

Is there anything Illidan doesn't have the edge in besides maybe speed, actually?

My guess xiao isn't that good introduction to the series compared to Aether and they likely didn't show much interest in the mu afterwards
Tiki already said Aether vs Aang is good mu to introduce Genshin compared to the rest so like why not that
 
It is cosmic irony that supposedly GeatsNero is a terrible MU to start with those verses :V
That's because it kinda is lmfao

Geats is nowhere near the first Kamen Rider and Nero is like, a side to main character in 3 games across all of Fate depending on the route. Shirou or Gilgamesh are better looks into fate.

They had the Lich King at like island level when he fought Sauron. Haven't Illidan and Arthas fought each other? Well the hell did this planet level shit come from? They even bring up his fight against Illidan.

This is one of the reasons I didn't want Geats to win. This is the first intro for both of these settings and everyone is gonna get blasted with "THESE CHARACTERS ARE SUPER MEGA GIGAVERSAL WITH THE 1000 HAXES INCLUDING HAXES WHERE THEY MAKE YOU DIE OF KIDNEY FAILURE IN REAL LIFE".

Honestly most of the people saying that are reactionary purely because of Genshin, a game most people complaining haven't played.

Also, iirc, the whole Kickstarter thing happened during or around a big hurricane or something, which would explain the "losing money" thing, but either way that doesn't say anything. Most people who paid for the Kickstarter are definitely not a part of the DB casual audience. Have you seen the pitches and how much money it costs. DB fans have a lot of money to blow.
