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

[Dust_Collector]

For Bardock vs Omni-Man I think it'd be cool if they have Bardock have a vision of the fights ending but much like in the special it's vauge enough to not spoil who the winner is.

Forever stuck as skins

It kinda sucks because it's only a skin for the custom character, would be cool if they did Darkstalker skins for the main cast like they did in 5.

 

[Dust_Collector]

Oh and also cool thing in regards to Princess Zelda MU's, the new game more than likely doesn't affect any of them lol. Girl probs gets no upgrades from echoes of wisdom unless you buy that she has and is using the full power of the complete Triforce in BOTW / TOTK in which case she'd now be tier 2 I guess.

Death Battle Predictions: Omni-Man VS Bardock

“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.” - Gilbert K. Chesterton ...

g1dbteamblogs.blogspot.com

Holy mother of stomps, Batman! But yeah, I think everyone was absolutely expecting a Bardock sweep despite what the previous G1 blog tried to claim.

By the way, I just realized something: so given the sheer gap in power between Bardock and Nolan, wouldn't Nolan be causing more harm to himself than Bardock if he tried attacking me? Because maybe I'm misremembering something here, but I could've sworn that there was a mechanic in the Invincible comic where being massively above your opponent makes it so that they mutilate themselves trying to hit you.

Yeah that's a decent number of times where if someone hits someone noticably stronger than them then they at best harm themselves and at worst, like you said, mutilate themselves

 

[Joycap]

22. Dunban vs Baiken

very well.

Right, because wasn't there a panel where this character tried biting down on Thragg and essentially shattered all his teeth and jaw trying to do so? If that's the case, and with the absurd gap between Bardock and Nolan, Nolan would likely cause his arms to blow off from punching Bardock at immense speeds

yep

depends on big the gap it'll be in the episode

Want to be the first one to share this

Damn, that's brutal.

Kinda reminds me:

I personally don't like when the winner of a fight was in the wrong in the senario (obvious exception for villians usually). Whatever the opposite of catharsis is? That's how I feel when it happens.

Doesn't happen a lot but...eh, pet peeve.

[ShrekAnakin]

Doesn't Death Battle use volume scaling?

They still do pretty sure. The calculation for the Dragon Ball multiverse just changed over time to get more accurate.

[AnAverageUsername]

Alright but Yu Narukami vs Twighlight

She's cooked, Yu has Megaten scaling

 

[Kontororou]

Alright but Yu Narukami vs Twighlight

When Yu vs Aiba (Digimon) exists?

 

[PonePoster]

Who even knows anymore lmao. I feel like they secretly do consider the DB macrocosm being infinite behind the scenes, but just use calculable stats for the analysis

 

[TMaakkonen]

And just in case, Nolan himself also got splat effect when he fought his superior.

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

Depends from what I’ve heard

When Yu vs Aiba (Digimon) exists?

Just an suggestion, not a big myself fan but eh

 

[AnAverageUsername]

Depends from what I’ve heard

Those people you've heard from are hacks then

Like, oooh, the Persona series is in the same universe as SMT IF.... and Devil Summoner (both it, Soul Hackers, and the Raidou games)

Yu, and other Persona characters, have Megaten scaling

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Tiki said they consider uni busting feats as tier 2 like the site if pointed to affect space time and such last they were here

 

[BlackDarkness679]

And just in case, Nolan himself also got splat effect when he fought his superior.

Imagine if they do something like the dramatic finish with Janemba vs Gogeta where former hits the fusion in the head and doesnt flinch either and mix the splat effect

 

[BlackDarkness679]

I always get stunlocked by Tekken cutscenes because I keep forgetting that it does that thing where everyone just speaks their native language but everyone understands each other anyway.

And thats why they have automatic translation as an ability for themselves now

 

[Imaginym]

A literal reverses of the previous blog lol! (I'm not surprised too).

Previous blog?

So like MLP don’t got any outer arguments?

Pretty sure the highest you can argue MLP is High Hyperversal

 

[CharlesZaGreat]

 

[AcidSilver]

To me it feels dumb to have folks pay $500 to pitch a mu when others can do so without giving up much in return

It doesn't help as mentioned most of these mu would be hard to sell to the general audience

Yeah. More power to the people doing the pitches but if I'm gonna drop $500 to make a pitch, I wouldn't do one that the average person wouldn't give a shit about. I mean be real here, do you think any non hardcore DB fan will care about a video from a character from Thems Fighting Herds? Or Winx Club? Or Plants vs Zombies? I personally love Horrigan vs Smasher as Fallout's intro to DB but I'd put better odds on Din vs the Courier happening before that one. Maybe if it was done back when Edgerunners was all anyone talked about but we're way past that.

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

Tbf Winx Club might become relevant again if the 2025 reboot succeeds

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

Damn

 

[PonePoster]

Tbf Winx Club might become relevant again if the 2025 reboot succeeds

Speaking of: the protagonist of Winx club is probably Twilight Sparkle's best MU. Either her, or Sailor Moon imo

I just pray to GOD PLEASE I BEG OF YOU that MLP returns to being at all quality 2025 onward on its own reboots. There's been some leaks from Hasbro about their plans on the brand, and apparently they're wanting 2026 to be the year of the Pony...........

Gonna be real bud, Gen 4 might end up being an anomaly when it comes to MLP content. Gen 5 crashed and burned and I don't got hope for anything else.

 

[TMaakkonen]

Yeaaah ngl other MLPs have been bit nothing burgers. At least VS wise.

 

[Imaginym]

Just reading the G1 blog now.

"his Super power level won’t be used to scale him to Toei feats, and vice versa".

Disappointing.

It's not like it's higher dimensional stuff, but wasn't there star-related stuff in the Secrets of Starlight episode?
Allura's abilities are neat, too. Mind Manipulation, IIRC. I also recall her flash freezing the majority of a cave near a beach in a recent episode, so she has decent range & potency on her temperature manipulation. Just off the top of my head, I'm well-aware this isn't anything like, freezing lava or stars, or whatever bajillions of degrees that characters like Natsu use.

On the topic of Gen 5, here's the General Discussion Thread for MLP:

My Little Pony: Thread of Harmony

Yeah Pinkie’s Toon Force isn’t good enough to fight someone on that level lol Arale vs Bill Cipher then?

vsbattles.com

Although, rather dissuadingly, the recent posts are hoping next generation is better & linking to a revision/upgrade thread for Discord. Of course.

Not abilities & powers, its the characters that are practically getting 0 reps. I cannot recall any MU requests from G2-3. I technically have seen G1 request but even then pre-G4 MLP MUs are just not it.

Doctor bros, Rick is gonna get Superman scaling. It's so Doctover for us. The Death Battle curse is real.

Dont tell they make a multiversus comic book

Everyone is getting superman scaling lol

Yes. Only two issues so far though.

Didn't everything in Gen 5 start because some pony cut in front of another pony in line at a restaurant and that somehow lead to everybody being racist?

As funny as that would be, no that's not what happened. Some unnamed unicorn started popularizing racist rhetoric that eventually spread all across Equestria which eventually culminated in "terrible things" which can be assumed to include a race war since things go so bad that Twilight had to seal away all magic to make everyone equal.
