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

Honestly, the current Asura characterization is fine. Its cliched, but it functions. Im not too fond of trying to do sympathetic in DB fights, but hero vs hero fights often miss with setups and are usually ehhh and frankly its not even the worst in DB.

...Storyboards Asura on the other hand would have been the single worst characterization in DB had they stuck to that like, god damn lmao

 

[Tipper17]

And Kratos harmed Titan mightier then that one or gods mightier then Helios, it doesnt matter, if the gap between gods and titans wasnt given it would be a different story

Then focus on those are easier to get the point across than a guy who got crippled by a sneak attack

He would still need to have the strength to prevent the squashing, also Hercules held the cosmos like Atlas and guess who beat him, Kratos did

We never got full on confirmation on Hercules feat let alone him mentioning doing the same feat outside implications
Kratos stopping him from killing is decent enough to justify the feat the rest not so much

The son beating the father in gow was established since start, all this questioning is ridiculous

It's not when we when we didn't see how the fight went down and even if it wasn't DB didn't present in a believable manner beyond trust me bros

It all comes down to presentation which DB didn't do a very good job at

 

[TMaakkonen]

Oh hey, the smirk had some origin huh

 

[Tipper17]

 

[TMaakkonen]

Yeah, they should have added that Kratos beat the primordial God of Death Thanatos, defeated Zeus who managed to become fear itself, defeated Garm who eat concepts like the 5th season and Thor punching snek back in time.

Also seriously not use Helios scenes directly cause Kratos itself killing Helios doesnt really support speed stuff that well lol

 

[The_Unknown_Warrior1]

Hell if we're talking about Greek speed feats: why didn't they scale Kratos to people like Atropos? The fact that Kratos can evade and tag the Sisters of Fate, who are required to micromanage and be extremely precise with the threads of fate, which are stated in Ragnarok to span all of life and time, in combat sounds far more credible in terms of speed scaling then just Helios.

 

[Lilixa]

well for simplicity yeah, since the feat is blatant plus no WOG or statement from secondary canon required.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Oh hey, the smirk had some origin huh

Apparently he did just 5 smirks/smiles across the whole series

 

[Lilixa]

I'm surprised DB does not mention this feat. very blatant feat no need WOG too

 

[0ホルスファルコン将軍0]

r/whowouldwin, r/whowouldwincirclejerk, r/powerscaling, r/characterrant, and r/deathbattle are being a lot more toxic than usual. And it is not the fun kind of salt, their brains just turn off when it comes to talking about lore vs feats.

 

[TMaakkonen]

The default is, that no matter what, every single lore feat for GoW bunk and wank and that its obvious. And they will not budge from this. There is absolutely nth GoW fans can do, esp. when they still keep posting Bruno's Twitter posts to prove Kratos is a fraud.

 

[Dust_Collector]

Honestly I'd get behind most people who don't think Kratos scales that high if their arguments were better. There are people that think the primordials aren't actually universal in size due to stuff like Ceto being small enough for her body to become the oceans or that stars in the greek world aren't that big given the sun is actually the temple of helios in their world so the stars being punched outta Uranus aren't that impressive either, which is fine, but 90% of the people who disagree with these just basically say "no it doesn't count" and leave it at that.

[TsukasayaEmmaDCD]

Honestly as well. It doesn't helped like most important stuff were regulated to black box. Such as mantra absorption iirc

 

[TMaakkonen]

Uhh they actually blatantly say that Kratos having multiple ways to absorb Mantra is major reason he was given versatility. Do you mean the fact that it seems Asura would resist such absorptions in some Reddit posts?

 

[TsukasayaEmmaDCD]

That and the black box saying why they think, Blade of olympus can suck up mantra.

Thoughts on Nu-13 vs Mélusine (Fate)?

 

[ZeNoviceArtist]

What happened to all the Fate profiles?

 

[TsukasayaEmmaDCD]

Nuked, due to rebuilding. last i know of, Melusine was like low 1-c?

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Outdated and not taken care of properly so they suffered from existence erasure

 

[ZeNoviceArtist]

Nuked, due to rebuilding. last i know of, Melusine was like low 1-c?

Were the profiles all outdated?
