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

[NotoriouSoda]

Get ready for another unfunny joke episode guys

 

[koopa3144]

They actually started to show clips of next episode in next times huh.

Ngl I hope this shot isn’t reflective of the next eps animation cause if it is things do not look good for AU vs FG

 

[Detective_Blizzard]

Found it


Also, some people are giving Fall Guys star level over this for some reason.

......... dear god, they are going to put AmongGuys on similar if not superior levels to that of Bardock v Omniman

just realized
did King Boo neg the phantom ruby because he's a ghos
so he doesn't give a shit about gravity

Could also be due to King Boo's similar manipulation of environments, meaning he's just used to that stuff

 

[Imaginym]

Oh I was just informed on important Fall Guys stuff.

FORTNITE SCALING
thanks JoshDosh for the tip

I wonder where this can take us.

I genuinely want to figure out where Fall Guys ranks. Among Us, too, sort of, but it's already been mostly figured out.

Well the logic, from what I'm gathering, is that the Dream Stone is stated to be the power of dreams themselves. And if there is an infinite number of universes in the Mario multiverse, that means there's an infinite amount of dreams which means Dreamy Bowser scales to an infinite amount of dreams.

So anyway you slice it, Pure Hearts or Dream Stone, Bowser's got plenty of power ups to contend with the Time Eater and other high end mechs like the Egg Wizard.

Does base Mario and Luigi scale to dreamy bowser and Bowser's speed is immeasurable. What were the arguments for immeasurable speed

BowserEgg is trending #1

BowserEgg is trending #1

Unironically would love to see the reaction to the average person out of the loop, since Bowser is a turtle I can see people seeing that and just going "He got another kid?" and others thinking it's some sort of Bowser and Eggman fanfic

 

[Arceus0x]

bowser jr getting a little sister would be pretty cute

Mario and Luigi fought and defeated Dreamy Bowser at the end of the game, so take that for what you will. Plus they fought against Zeekeeper, who's in the same ballpark of power as Dreamy Bowser so it's pretty consistent in Dream Team?

As for Immeasurable? I don't know much about Mario's high end speed scaling feats.

 

[Quibster]

Who are these two again?

The one on the left is Yukari Yakumo (Touhou Project) and the one on the right is Altair (Re:Creators)

 

[Dust_Collector]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Bowser vs Eggman the first episode in years to have a short animation showing the aftermath of the fight instead of just replaying the killing blow? It really only just dawned on me that they stopped doing those a while ago.

I think so.

Yes

 

[AcidSilver]

The boys just had their fight but now it's the men's turn to have their matchup.

Speedrun Mario vs Sonic.EXE

Well, the only PR that actually can interact with spirits is, Lightman.
So that might be why.

 

[CharlesZaGreat]

Archie Knuckles vs Piccolo for 2026

Speedrun Mario vs Sonic.EXE

Please, the men can have their matchup another day. We need the matchup of gods

SnapCube Eggman vs Devil Artemis Cell

So base bowser and even Bowser jr, kama, and king boo are all 2-A via scaling to Mario and luigi . I think because of Culex and Mario and Luigi dream team

 

[Tipper17]

Archie Knuckles vs Piccolo for 2026

No

 

[Tipper17]

[Darkmon_cns]

No

Piccolo would need new feats for that

to win.
But that was great.

Very much same

Spoiler

eggman needs a counter to boos and other ghostly beings and an answer to transmutation if he ever wants a rematch

SnapCube Eggman vs Devil Artemis Cell

Sarda the sage vs BnG Zero is far better.

[TartaChocholate]

Any MU that based on a fad (e.g Among Us, Fall Guys, Palworld, etc).

Spoiler: Random thoughts

We summoned the cringe, my friend.

Overall, I enjoyed the episde a lot. Kinda regret we didn't get Dreamy Bowser vs Lightman or Time Eater, but overall the battle was pretty hype. Can't really speak much of the research, having little familiarity with Sonic beyond some Classic and Adventure era games and being a casual Mario enjoyer, but I did find those sections pretty intersting.

Also glad that Eggman despite the vicious KO, didn't get a gory or messy death, and was more cartoonish than anything and that at least Sage made it out. Also Metal Sonic MVP, he was trouncing most of Bowser's army.

Yup, they stopped doing that a long time ago. It was a bit of a surprise. It's also the first time they added alternate scenarios with fully animated clips, I think.

There's some pretty adorable fanart on some sties of the two playing together.

Should we expect those moving forward? On Twitter Moro implied that was his addition (the alternative scenarios), and not something DB required.

If it was a touch added by the animator then maybe not? Unless there's some really positive buzz around them that makes DB consider keeping them in later episodes, at least. I personally thought they were great.

 

[The_Unknown_Warrior1]

Out of curiosity, has anyone been listening to Game Over on repeat since it dropped after the episode? It might be one of the best battle tracks to come out of Death Battle.

I think it might even surpass Princes of Pride as being my favorite track, period. I didn't think it was possible, but DB did it for me.

I say it helps DB arguments for certain my that may need this to show they did consider it

 

[Peter_"Quicksilver"_Maximoff]

Updated Overall Strength Tiering:
1.Joker
2.Bowser
3.Omni-Man

 

[The_Unknown_Warrior1]

Does that include information from black boxes or nah? Because Joker was put at 2-C while Bowser, at his absolute peak, was put at possibly 2-A so shouldn't he be in the number one spot?

 

[TartaChocholate]

It would be definitely be great if they kept them around, I wholehearted agree.
