DEATH BATTLE! Discussion Thread (2024–2025) (All-time Death Battle Spoilers Alert)

[Emirp sumitpo]

Yeah that ep was a solid 9/10, speaking as someone not too familiar with both powerscaling wise. Fairly in depth without being convoluted. I only wish the fight's ending ended with a little more of a bang, but otherwise, really fun episode.

 

[Tyranno223]

the alternate scenarios in the verdict were great too.

Yeah, that was a nice surprise to get in the post-analysis.

 

[Lord_Farquaad69420]

I only like billcord more cause my goat lost........pure bias I know. SHit was magnificent. And bowser winning from outhaxxing makes sense. Happy they gave eggboy the a/p advantage

 

[Tipper17]

BowserEgg is easily the best episode of 24 and its not even close

 

[XXBenShapiroXx]

It was easy prediction.

Good lord theuser is going to foam for the rest of the time, they used lowballing a lot for Eggman. Time to see OmnimanBardock 2 in here again.

I think this fight, since it's genuinely debatable, will go over much better, especially givne the fight animation fcks hard

Certain fans were going to be upset regardless, which is fair to a degree

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

I think this is the best animated fight of all time ngl.

 

[AnAverageUsername]

The peakest of fictions

 

[The_Unknown_Warrior1]

Jesus Christ, that episode was INSANE! The animation absolutely slapped hard as ****, the fight choreography was amazing, and I thought that the guys who played as Eggman and Bowser did a superb job as the two villains.

And to be honest? The fact they acknowledged that Eggman and Bowser are comparable in cosmic stats to each, multiversal and having incalculable speed, was a pretty big W in my opinion. I'm genuinely satisfied that Bowser won because, as I hoped for, it felt like a decently close call.

Also the fact that Sage and Cubot and Orbot didn't die is already enough for me to say this episode is great, best Sonic character since Shadow still gets to live.

 

[sanicspood]

Did they seriosly ignore Lightman and the Egg Field because they just assumed it requires prep? Lame as ****. Oh well, I was prepared for this for months.

 

[0ホルスファルコン将軍0]

Bowser prevailed because his army was more devoted, possessed more potent hax, was physically stronger, and had more methods to deal with Eggsman Hax. And next time is Among Us vs Fall Guy.

There is already comments in the Youtube comments section and the subreddit that they forgot that Eggman’s Hardboiled Heavies and EggRobos can pilot a lot of the mechs for him and Sage could send them all to cyberspace etc but that’s just throwing more to the pile of what ifs, I am just personally curious why they were so scared to give either combatant immeasurable/infinite speed.

They didnt really talk about it being debatable, relegated to black boxes if even that.

 

[Theuser789]

I've come to make an announcement, Eggman is a certified fraud. He couldn't even kill a single goomba permanently in that entire fight. That's right, all powers, no wins, no kills. He's not even World 1-1 level!

On a more serious note, I had the biggest grin on my face the entire fight, GOD I LOVED IT (Also the lack of actual child murder is a nice cherry on top of this 10/10 sundae)

Didn't Neo kill Jr?

I'm talking about within the community.

 

[Lord_Farquaad69420]

Didn't Bowser win every category outside one? So that means he won speed, stregth, etc.

he won the stat advantage against eggman himself lmfao. Eggman with high end weaponry > bowser, it's just bowser had more weapons with hax

 

[Detective_Blizzard]

Didn't Neo kill Jr?

Jr was just kicked out over the horizon, Mario characters have that happened to them every Thursday for sport events

 

[Theuser789]

No, I don't, especially when the reasoning was just Ultraguy's bad arguments from a year ago. Oh well, at least I am finally free of these threads.

 

[Peter_"Quicksilver"_Maximoff]

So, whose strongest in S24 so far, Bowser or Joker?

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

Didn't Bowser win every category outside one? So that means he won speed, stregth, etc.

Unless I'm mistaken their main speed calcs were comparable (quadrillions vs quadrillions)

Bowser won physical stats but their cosmic stuff was equalized, which is kind of all that matters stats wise.

I am personally satisfied with their explaination, the episode’s analysis can easily be 10+ minutes longer with the sheer amount of shit they have at their disposal but they did the broad strokes well enough.


I can’t honestly hate the research of this episode.

But my guy didn't win

 

[Detective_Blizzard]

Didn't Neo kill Jr?

I retract my previous statement, you can literally see him at the end unharmed when he destroyed Eggman's flyer.

No kids were seriously harmed in the making of this death battle

.............we heard of DB or JJK fans not reading. Get ready for vsbw users now.......

No, I don't, especially when the reasoning was just Ultraguy's bad arguments from a year ago. Oh well, at least I am finally free of these threads.

..............Can I unironically call you salty cause the mu was always debatable but your acting like it should have been an eggman stomp. And acting like the epsiodes shit when it was peak fiction

A lot of people don't think Bowser can actually win

You of all people make fun of people being salty?

 

[0ホルスファルコン将軍0]

Your generational hatred of Death Battle was genuinely amusing to read, I will miss you and I mean that in the most sincere way.

Read that last part.

With how debatable this is, it's bound to happen. I directly acknowledged that.

I ain't knocking anyone who is upset Eggman lost

 

[Detective_Blizzard]

A lot of people don't think Bowser can actually win

No, actually a lot of casual people thought Bowser could run in and solo Eggman's entire army with Bowser's own being worthless fodder.

 

[Lord_Farquaad69420]

IK, but user's reaction to the episode seems more out of spite than actual critism aside from the verdict

I think the G1 blog did it better, but whatever. I knew Bowser was going to win for months, now. Everyone who said I was too much of a doomer for relying on what the MAIN RESEARCHER said were wrong, too. It was literally just his arguments but retooled.

That one King Boo locked in, mid life crisis my ass

 

[Dust_Collector]

Honestly my favourite part of the fight was the fake out death, like for a solid second I even thought that was it until suddenly it was like "oh yeah Dry Bowser lol".

Very happy that, even though it's unfortuently another loss for Sonic, the stats and respect were there. Quadrillions x FTL and cosmic level Super Sonic (And by proxie Eggmans best tech), FTL base characters. Very nice.

their arguments were pretty similar to the g1 blog though? Bowser outhaxes.......

What were your particular issues with Ultraguys arguments for Bowser/what way did he downplay Robotnik?

 

[Redite250]

I'm just happy both sage and bowser jr survived

 

[XXBenShapiroXx]

IK, but user's reaction to the episode seems more out of spite than actual critism aside from the verdict

Sure but be sure to be careful to not generalize, there are some fair points to be made, regardless of how it effects the outcome

 

[Detective_Blizzard]

Would like to point out, this all technically make it an Orbot, Cubot, and Sage win since they all get a better army

Stand proud Orbot fans, you beat the Metal Sonic fans

 

[Lord_Farquaad69420]

Sure but be sure to be careful to not generalize, there are some fair points to be made, regardless of how it effects the outcome

I do think they downplayed both. But I'm specifically referring to user's complaints

 

[EJthe24th]

What were the stats for the Eggman and Bowser?
