So how do extra lives, like... WORK in a vs debate? In game they just reset you at a certain point, right? Iirc Bowser and other bosses sometimes remark about your past losses, so, theoretically, wouldn't it be a case of not "regenerating" fast enough for a match and count as a loss?

Thats what I'm trying to figure. The closest I can think is like Chosen Undead but even then CU could go hollow or the 'can't regenerate fast enough' like they used for Hulk vs Broly. Saying 'infinite lives' feels too much like something for a gag and a one-off feature to be used since by that logic, Bowser could just keeps spawning mid-fight or something

Resurrection?

Resurrection?

Yeah, but how long does it take for Mario/Bowser to revive? Is it ever said? If it takes too long/places Bowser back at a far away checkpoint then it'd count as a loss and not be useful per DB rules

Asta vs Nastu is better.

It probably is to actually get something out of Asta's anti-magic

But I don't care, Mash and Asta are both muscle bound freaks of nature that have similar backstories, I want to see them fight

Also it would lead into the even better match, Innocent Zero vs Lucius Zogratis
