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

[Dust_Collector]

I just realised why King Boo conjured a thwomp specifically, Infinite was increasing gravity around the area so the thwomp ended up plummeting down with way more force than it normally would as a result.

God this fight was cool.

Oh ye BowserEggman reached 1 mil views. Looking good.

Bro are you trying so hard to farm likes on VSBW of all places

You gotta check the sonic discussion thread, theuser is dooming all over the place, spouting 'bout how this ultra fella down plays the shit out of the sonic multiverse.

So much copium, so little time, wouldn't you agree?

But it's expected for a Sonic thread to be salty about the outcome. They're Sonic fans, they're gonna shill their guy.

That's not fair.

For weeks, several individuals in this thread mocked him for his guess that most of the arguments for Bowser winning in the Death Battle were from Ultraguy despite it being "from a year ago". But he was absolutely correct, many of the post-analysis and black box reasonings were from Ultraguy's ramblings on Discord.

From that perspective, User was vindicated and right all along. The majority of Sonic fans here are happy, let's not harp on the few who aren't to make them feel worse when we knew not everybody would be satisfied.

What else to expect from pathetic "more comments than upvotes" scrub :^)

Instead of stalking me, you could've just replied to me instead of shit talking on another thread I explicitly said I was going to unfollow. What a creep. But Death Battle fans thrive on people's saltiness to fuel their show, so this isn't surprising.

 

[Robo432343]

both of you cut it out

As long as they aren't being toxic to those who agree with the ep, let people be mad.

Mario and Sonic have a fierce ass rivalry, their fans do not like each other whatsoever. It's unrealistic and unfair to expect no disappointment when it comes to how heated these types of discussion get.

This episode is going to be or already has been largely well received, so those who are disappointed are already a minority, there is no need to pick on them for what could be reasonabe concerns.

I've been pissed at Death Battle before, I've been there.

 

[ShakeResounding]

Had a night to rest on it.

My main gripe is they used Dr. Starline's view of Dr. Eggman to seriously trivialize the complexity to his character as if Starline was correct despite him dying as a testament to pushing his luck. Let me rephrase.

They claim Dr. Starline's view of Dr. Eggman is correct, him being short-sighted and a sloppy planner... when the summit of Dr. Starline's arc was trying to claim the Eggman Empire for his own and literally failing because Eggman out-planned him like 3 times in the span of one comic (IDW Issue 50). They didn't even acknowledge Eggman's own statement of taking it easy on Sonic because of their rivalry. That made me genuinely face-palm and is by far my biggest gripe with the episode.

 

[XXBenShapiroXx]

My main gripe was that there was no passion kiss but other than that peak episode

What was your closest estimate for the size?

What was your closest estimate for the size?

Assuming a 30m height, dividing that by base height, and multiplying the result by base length, 12-15 feet

After a night of sleeping, I just thought of something that I think Death Battle did well. I absolutely loved how they showed the different mentalities of Bowser and Eggman when it comes to handling their armies, where Bowser is shown to be fighting on the front lines alongside them and having several instances where he's actively trying to protect them while fighting Eggman's army.

Meanwhile Eggman's in the back and ordering his troops, allowing them to be destroyed since they're easily expendable due to being robots (exception to this rule being Metal Sonic and Sage, the only two members of his army that he actively praises during the fight) and holding no quarrel in destroying them once he tried to destroy Bowser using the Death Egg.

So it's pretty interesting to see visually that despite being a giant turtle that breathes fire and tries to take over kingdoms, Bowser's shown to be a lot more empathetic and caring to those who serve him then an actual human being like Eggman.

Bowser jumping in front of his troops to protect them from the Death Egg beam was peak

Never thought these words would come out of my mouth but what are the scaling metas for Among Us and Fall Guys? Who is likely to win?

 

[The_Unknown_Warrior1]

Exactly. It's pretty telling that Bowser sees a moon sized space station firing down down at himself and his first instinct is to get in between it and his troops and his son in order to protect them, really selling the idea that Bowser's army loves him and he loves them back.



Just wanted to capitalize on the meme

Not even a day and the episode reached 1mil already

When I first saw somebody point that out in the Youtube comments, it changed my perspective on several moments. Yet some people claim they disrespected Eggman when this sort of thing is perfectly in-character. That's gonna be annoying to deal with...

Don't know exact stats, but I've seen a lot of people claim the Fall Guys actually have some solid arguments. Something about a Sword of Light, I think?

SNIP

A flaw of Death Battle is their inconsistency, and that's true of characterisation as well. Sometimes they get characterisation pretty on point, but damn is there some awful takes driven by their need to have characters either mirror or match each other.

GvS2 was the worst, for example.

 

[CNBA3]

Man, this was FUN! I like when Death Battle does something different, especially when using Armies for encounters like these! While I wish it could have been longer, it is more nitpicking, it is nice to see each unit and commander and vehicle getting their own screen time for what they had. In the future, I hope they do more of them!!! Galactic Empire vs the Imperium of Man even!

 

[TMaakkonen]

I dont like how they were more lenient with statements for Bowser and not Eggman. They really dont want to say to public that Super Forms are Immeasurable (and putting equal in info boxes is a copout) but Bowser's statement is a-ok to allow him to get universal hax range. Lame.
