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

It's kinda funny seeing people other places say Bowser uses his best magical abilities a lot which isn't true, and then seeing people here go with the opposite end of him being an idiot who only really does physical attacks which isn't true either.

What is true overall
 
What is true overall
Hard to say because he's... kinda all over the place. Certain subseries will be pretty consistent (Like the Mario & Luigi games he's usually punching, shooting fire, and depending on the game has like a third or fourth gimmick he'll pull out), then the 3D games will have him zoning Mario will projectile spam (Fireballs, those earth and metal constructs he just conjures in Odyssey, shockwaves), teleport around the arena, sometimes make barriers to stop Mario attacking him, make illusions, using power-ups, then the 2D games he justs shoots fireballs and sometimes throws hammers (It varies on the game, hell his tatics even somewhat change depending on when and where's he fought in games like SM64)

Mario Party he'll just be doing whatever, he'll just send like 20 minions to fight you and use magic attacks when he's like somewhere else entirely only to suddenly just drop in and throw hands, he'll make you do puzzles within a weird lava dimension, shoot lightning bolts, summon actual threats like King Boo, sometime's he'll just bullrush whoever, or pilot his koopa clown car or a giant robot he built of himself and shoot missiles, the weird block shit from MPDS. Paper Mario has him biting and using firebreath but also sometimes poison attacks and power null (And really good power null, as in you can straight up make you unable to attack physically if he wants to).

Like that man doesn't really have a consistent fighting style outside of using his firebreath and other fire based moves alongside whatever else he decides to do.
 
What is true overall
Generally uses a combination of brute force and fire attacks with an occasional extra magic power (Size Shifting, Teleportation, Lightning, ect) or a random machine or vehicle (such as Airships or the Koopa Clown Car).

While not a mindless brawler (in fact he's pretty skilled) the version of Bowser that pragmatically spams his best hax all the time is an invention of powerscalers.

That’s what I meant, calling him an “idiot who only claws-bites-firebreathes” was a bit of an exaggeration on my end.
 
What I’ve noticed is that a lot of Bowser’s wincons require him to have a Battle IQ/pragmatism comparable to Eggman or at least the mindset of a powerscaler but when playing his games even when he gets godlike power, he still defaults to a punch-claw-bite merchant. He…is kind of an idiot that would be carried by the likes of Kamek and King Boo in this scenario.
Yeah, Eggman is basically fighting a fanfic version of Bowser. And King Boo and Kamek get super wanked while Super Neo Metal and Sage get basically ignored.
 
Conquest has the same powerset as Omni-Man and is equal to him, so it's gonna be pretty similar to Omnidock debate-wise

... Except Nappa can only scale to Saiyan Saga feats, doesn't have any MFTL+ arguments, and can't go Super Saiyan so his chances are a lot worse
 
With S3 of Invincible coming somewhat soon who should win between Conquest and Nappa?
755
 
A Twilight runback sounds neat since she was technically done way worse than Ichigo or MvS2 Sonic

Not in a rematch against Raven tho, that chick beat the Phoenix 😭
TBH Twi doesn't have that many great matchups, which is a shame since she's literally the Mane character of one of the most popular shows of the 2010s.

I guess she has Bloom from Winx Club? Sora from Kingdom Hearts? Knowledge from Touhou? Sailor Moon?

...

Goku?
 
Unless they use this

Boros cant win

Best hope is also if Boros returns in either webcomic or manga to fight Saitama and have a reason to scale to the levels from cosmic garou
Even if they did the sun disk calc they got would still be higher I think. (even if it shouldn't be used)
 
It's possible they would use DBZA Nappa to make it more entertaining.
No I came for nappa, not abridged slop
Conquest's bloodthirsty ****** personality could make for some good character interactions tbf

Again gonna be honest there's legit no point of doing nappa vs conquest
Nappa only thing he did was stomp the Z fighters and getting rekt by Goku he has less shit to work with than ******* Bardock despite having more screen time

And the research would literally be the same especially when nappa can only scale to the good shit thru great ape at best

The only invincible vs dragon ball mu that remotely makes sense to do is invincible vs gohan but God knows thats a bad idea even ignoring the stomp factor 🗿
