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

That matchup also felt pretty random? I dunno, but kinda aside both being rulers and the villains of two flagship series of Nintendo Bowser and Ganondorf don't really share that much.

It was not a random it was a popular MU back in the day even far as back in S3 when Ben wanted to do it then but couldn't due to higher ups thinking Dracula wouldn't draw which is why Bowser vs Ganondorf happened

My bad, I meant to say that Bowser vs Ganondorf felt rather random, not Ganondorf vs Dracula.

Moro sure is enjoying the BowEgg high.

AAA

This makes me so happy!

If Shredder gets a Sharingan, it would be so hype.

Ok I got no leg in this race, and I don't really care to dig any deeper, but from what I remember it was the lawyer's suggestion to go with a defamation lawsuit.

You know, those things that are notoriously hard to prove in court.

well it was that but also too someone on this thread mentioned, His lawyer basically did nothing but fold the entire case cause his ass was more interested in the fame and clout vs actually winning the fight lol

I was wondering, is the Fall Guys vs Among Us match going to be a 1 on 1 or a group battle?

It's a group battle, you can vaguely see it on the wiki.

I'm actually reading through a good chunk of the court docs as we speak... and my lord I don't know how anyone managed to decipher half of the shit that was actually going on here. That goes for both sides (defense mostly, but also some of Vic's stuff... he could have handled better (thanks Ty Beard for being a wet flannel of a lawyer! You're the reason the most damming affidavits on your side were kicked out on a technicality!))

I find it especially hilarious how the first request for TCPA clumsily crowbars in the affidavit of the Yost twins (that's supposed to be of benefit to Rial/Marchi). Like... Rial, you could still have attempted to turn this civil suit AGAINST Vic instead of throwing it out - the only one silencing alleged victims at that point was you. (Oh, and members of Kiwifarms actually found out that the Yost twins were actually living mates of Rial at one point. Say what you will about KF slurs, doxxes and Fedposting (I don't strictly approve of it either) - but they are RELENTLESS at archiving shit). Yosts sound like the complete opposite of "one of the 100s (that were never scrutinized for the sake of the case) with no ulterior motive or relation" if you ask me.

I've probably got the wrong hyperlink, but it's there if you know where to dig. I'll spoiler tag the most damming archive they have where Elizabeth (Libby) Yost refers to Rial as 'her big sister':

Spoiler

That's another thing: I counted 14 affidavits against Vic (only half-ish of which pertain to alleged Sexual misconduct), most of which were either thralls to Rial/Marchi, or had glaring inconsistencies like Emmett Plant, whose testimony is on behalf of another whose own Testimony/Affidavit does not exist, and Mary Reese who, despite alleging that 'a photo with Vic was made to "keep the peace"', said photo is also either apocryphal, or was straight up never submitted into evidence in favour of Rial threatening sceptics with her legal team (a natural response for the poor and traumatised! /sarc) and beefing with her hatedom on Twitter. The other 5 or so never went beyond allegation.

For another good balanced view on the case if anyone wants to know - I cannot recommend Celtic Phoenix's 6-part coverage of the lawsuit from the POV of early 2020 vociferously enough. If I ever make my own video/article of my own takes, I might want to get in touch with him, actually.

Jeez I forgot all about that Vic stuff

You got much of an opinion on it one way or the other?

 

[Joycap]

I'm a bit nervous to ask, but did something happen recently with Vic? I haven't kept up with him, as the whole thing seemed pretty open and shut.

In Feb 2024 he was ordered to pay $500k in legal fees between Funi/Rial/Marchi etc. - by April he had fully paid up. None of this payout was for distress or damages, yet despite this KV are running with it as an admission of his guilt when that's largely not how civil courts work (clearly they've never heard of Jackson vs Chandler...), and are now spinning it as him being a sex offender/being on a registry when he has not and currently isn't.

If any of this sounds like pre-24' stuff... well it is, but that was the final fact of the matter before it got fully thrown out.

 

[Joycap]

Actually, you know what...

I'm talking about Vic's case while people are bringing up that one Lythero 'widows peak' meme in the wake of BvE.

I may have an idea...
