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

[Tipper17]

So new MU making rounds: Thoughts on Saiki vs Squirrel Girl?

Meh

 

[Tipper17]

So let me get this straight, you people want to see character who beats opponents off-screen... get an animated fight?

:VVVV

Don't look at me I could care less for squirrel girl

 

[ShrekAnakin]

With the game awards, it tells me three matchups that I think could do well on the show:
Eve vs 2B, Clive vs Velvet, and Wukong vs Amaterasu. They feature hot faces, games featured at the awards, a character who's in Tekken, and a game getting a sequel. Would be peak.

 

[TMaakkonen]

Fighting games havent done that good in views lately so maybe not.

I'm all in for a Final Fantasy match that moves on from VII, especially as the moment for both Lightning and Noctis already passed by.

How strong is Wukong btw?

Nicher genre sadly

 

[Jimmy.robinson.5099]

Anyway Any guess on next year mu

I imagine we'll get at LEAST one more TOC MU. Exactly which, though, I'm not entirely sure: a fair few of those MUs have all been getting referenced in recent eps, it feels like, and being independant now might give them more leeway on what does or doesn't happen.

 

[TMaakkonen]

Funny enough, we are getting back to back losers of 1st ballot. ToC MUs might have to wait a bit more.

 

[Chianli]

So weird anton doesnt have a profile (or summit games in general)

 

[ZeNoviceArtist]

Anyway Any guess on next year mu

Kratos vs Asura.

 

[ZeNoviceArtist]

x to doubt

And on the note of the Game Awards, Razorfist is back on his bs and I love it:

I don't know who that is.

 

[LegendariumOfLies]

Witcher 4 is strange. People are naturually making the conversation about how Ciri looks and the whole woke vs anti-woke argument (probably just uncanny valley from using a new engine), but I am more interested in the lore incosistencies (doens't teleport, uses witcher potions, using magic?). After the whole drama with CP2077, I ain't excited and not pre-ordering.

 

[TMaakkonen]

A lot of realistic trying looking games do have some uncanny feel to them.

DJ said he will is up for them and i doubt Death Battle wont attenpt 1 or 2 of them at least next year, Fatal Fury releases next year, Tekken has S2 planned and Street Fighter got 2 more characters till mid of 2025, also the league of legend fighting game too, strike while they still go it running

Gotta find the right mu to act on

 

[TMaakkonen]

Well, for next year we have confirmed:

• KratosAsura + 1 unknown
• MCDoomguy + 1 unknown
• HD Luis fight
• MahitoShigaraki + 1 unknown
• AangTraveler(if they keep this order)
• AshYugi + 1 unknown
• Torrian 3D fight
• SimonKyle in December ( + 1 unknown for 2026 January)

If AangTraveler is pushed for this year, we know half of this season. That leaves handdrawn fight & Torrian fight, as well as 4 unknown MUs. Everyone start your theories up lol

Like did they have capeshit filler in cutting room floor before RT closure.

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

Anyway Any guess on next year mu

I wanna say Gordon vs Isaac

 

[TMaakkonen]

I am wondering that is there non-zero chance RT/WB forced DB to do so many capeshit MUs :V

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

 

[AnAverageUsername]

You know, it feels fitting to start the year off with one of the most anticipated fights (KratoSura), and end it with one of the most anticipated fights (SimonKyle)

 

[NotoriouSoda]

…

Kyle is going to win isn’t he?

 

[ZeNoviceArtist]

I will confidently say Liu Kang vs Jago is the Torrian episode.

 

[Tipper17]

…

Kyle is going to win isn’t he?

Who knows speedy mention Kyle is under research for the most part and said for who said he wins never looked on his stuff so who maybe maybe not

 

[BlackDarkness679]

I will confidently say Liu Kang vs Jago is the Torrian episode.

Dont hope too much and be disappointed after

 

[Accelerated_Evolution]

It's funny to see that Bugs Bunny had straight-up/explicity Low 2-C feats and scaling at the 40s, yet, none of Mickey Mouse media (As far as i am aware) contains any Cosmic feat that actually scales to the characters

Mickey VS Bugs seems like a stomp in strength/durability, although you can unironically scale both to Immeasurable in speed (Even without KH for Mickey)

Updating this: Mickey actually has Cosmic feats!

1. Goofy destroys a japanese sun
2. Pete gets slammed on the moon so hard it gets destroyed
3. Big Bad Wolf survives after being smashed through several planets

I'm iffy on considering the first feat legit due to the sun's weird shape.

Pete's feat probably gets around 5-A or High 5-A due to KE while Bad Wolf's feat is 5-B. Although they are far from being close to LT's Low 2-C to higher feats

I love this matchup but it sucks that Tooru will have no anime to draw from until like 2028.

Pfff, 2028? Good luck with that if SBR is released in batches

Doesn’t really matter how Ciri looks in the trailer tbh, every Witcher game had the characters look strange in the cinematic trailers compared to their final appearances on release.

 

[Loh67867]

I don't know who that is.

I've seen people on r/okbuddymetal calling him the Nostalgia Critic of metal and honestly I could never give a more fitting description for him

 

[AcidSilver]

Does Amaterasu even have a way to kill Wukong?

 

[Tipper17]

Man

I've seen people on r/okbuddymetal calling him the Nostalgia Critic of metal and honestly I could never give a more fitting description for him

Sup long how's it been

[Flashlight237]

Among Us vs Fall Guys is currently sitting at five thousand views away from reaching a million views.

That actually goes very hard, not going to lie. It really makes Shin Godzilla look so godlike and unstoppable.

I mean, like, isn't practically every out-of-game Fall Guys material a shitpost? We have two separate Fall Guys height figures (one where the Fall Guy is a six foot tall penguin skeleton creature and another where the Fall Guy is a two foot tall plush toy). I think that's the primary reason why the Fall Guy was never indexed on this wiki.

[Maverick_Zero_X]

Okay unless DB uses those shaky Outer arguments for Simon this doesn't seem debatable anymore

 

[TMaakkonen]

Trying to predict what 5 categories they'll use for KratosAsura, I presume it might be these:

• Strength
• Mobility
• Skill & Experience
• Survivability
• Powers & Versatility

Strength, DB will at bare minimum say they are equal at universe level, but considering Kratos actually has le statements, they might even give Kratos a coveted "4D+" because Yggdrasil is beyond space and time. Kratos W

Mobility, Kratos might have equal reaction speed if not more, but Asura in general rushdowns faster and well he does have that planet form, even if reactions are same, that range gives more commanding mobility, Asura W

Skill & Experience, despite being older, Asura generally is more straightforward while Kratos has learned to control his rage, leaning Kratos W

Survivability, in theory if Kratos gets AP he should get this too, but lets not forget other aspect of this, regeneration is on Asura's side, Kratos heal wounds and impales but Asura regens more, this might be Tie since their survivabilities are different.

Powers & Versatility, and yeah Kratos has more abilities that Asura doesnt resist all, and Kratos can be argued to resist Asura's stuff, Kratos W

I guess this makes sense if they use statements and scaling for Loretos.

 

[Loh67867]

Sup long how's it been

I'm fine, I didn't visit the thread for the most part because of just kinda losing interest (Not in DB but the thread just kinda being boring) and also obviously personal life shit and all that (Recently one of my IRL friends was completely gone, he didn't respond to the calls, was offline and me and the rest of my friends just had no way of reaching out to him. Considering the fact that we live in Ukraine that was worrying as fuсk. Then this asshole types out a message like nothing ever happened lmfao. Obviously glad that he's fine but man, that made us all just stressed out).

Asura might be old, but he spends a lot of that time dead

 

[TMaakkonen]

Asura might be old, but he spends a lot of that time dead

I vaguely remembered that, but wasnt quite sure if that was accurate.
