Oh, don't be like that. They're still good generators of fun animations and interesting discourse, if nothing else.

If some bad scaling was this show's death knell, it never would have gotten a Season 2. As long as this doesn't become the norm, then I think it's fine.

God I remember having to try and run defense for that episode back when it came out because I was part of a RWBY themed podcast. That was rough.

Yang busts a pillar. Tifa tanks a supernova. Yang wins because Death Battle is owned by Rooster Teeth who made RWBY.

A few stinkers don't invalidate the bangers.
Real Death Battle OGs remember Iron Man vs Lex Luthor, a certified classic.

No, Yang is just stronger
Don't be toxic now. Defend the million dollar company.

Short answer: RWBY bias.
Long answer: everything wrong with early DB research + RWBY bias.

Yang literally has no hax lol
They had a banner advertising RWBY Volume 3 pop up as soon as Yang killed Tifa, too.

Guess what dipsh*t, they don't do any of that. They contract both those out. The only thing they do is powerscaling and writng both which suck *SS, Cope harder.

I was literally quoting their post analysis lol.
You’re taking this far too seriously, what I do nowadays is laugh at the dumb scaling, enjoy the animation and music and maybe laugh at the salt if there is any. If they use a character im emotionally attached to I’ll skip the episode if they lose.
I will say I kinda don’t want my most wanted MU to happen anymore because they could make it have the completely wrong verdict.

Time for a review (a little late I know
Liked:
*The representation of both characters in their respective sections, showing why peeps find them appealing also the presentation of the comic/manga panels is top notch.
*The ost for the fight is pleasant yet epic to listen to while having a fittingly intense atmosphere.
*The pretty clean cut scaling on what feats and characters both scale to (instead pulling a One Piece KEK!).
*The 3D models and voicing acting are pretty professional imo.
Disliked:
*The animation was a bit rough at times and the choreography seemed a little lacking (I get one of the characters is part of the flying brick archetype and Nolan using Bardock's tail as a weapon was cool to see but I felt like it needed more "OOMPH").
*Hella sus research/calcs between the glaring differences between the canon and the Toei destruction of planet Vegeta and the shaky sundisk feat that can be interpreted in several different ways plus other issues, the outcome had many holes (I'm not just saiyan that because I believed Bardock would win, I would've accepted Nolan winning if the setup made sense but the setup had one too many shaky foundations).
*The actual fight banter was hit or miss for me imo (60/40 on the miss end).
Overall a 7/10 episode and a perfectly serviceable season opener that will defo reach a million views in a decently short period of time but held back by a couple major flaws. Hopefully Kratos Vs Asura pulls off a better "dad battle" in the future.
Even the subReddit and Discord are saying that “okay, we know the music and fight animation is good but let’s not deflect to that when talking about the research or verdict”, if ride or die homies for Death Battle are putting aside the glazing of the music you KNOW the pooch was screwed.

Yeah, you're going too hard with the salt here, how can I enjoy my steak now!
But, seriously, you say they have bad scaling and writing, and while there have been plenty of stinkers throughout its history, to ignore the absolute bangers we have had is both nearsighted and childish. Saitama vs Popeye, Snake vs Sam, Goku vs Superman 3, Ironman vs Lex, I can go on. These are classics, with great stories to boot, and good scaling around these parts. Just lighten up will ya, especially when the only bad thing about this episode is the scaling, when it's story is also good.

Shit reminded me of Yang vs Tifa where Yang broke a pillar, thus >>> Final Fantasy.
Good times. Glad the research team stays consistently terrible at scaling.
