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

what is the consensus on Shulk vs sora anyway?

 

[ZeNoviceArtist]

I kinda like Shulk vs Lightning ngl.

 

[AnAverageUsername]

Replace Sonic with the entirety of SMT and I'll admit I feel your pain

Square up then, lol

what is the consensus on Shulk vs sora anyway?

As a MU? It's a pretty fun fight with great animation, OST and banter potential plus it's very debatable who wins since both can be easily scaled to 2-B with conservative scaling with both reaching tier 1 with more liberal scaling and don't even get me started on the hax (literal BS fate "no you" stuff).

In terms of popularity? I actually don't know, I still believe Shulk Vs Lightning (FF13) has some kind legacy behind it plus Sora has other opponents too iirc.

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

just people ******** on him and putting up against spite matches

from what i can gather people have a hate boner for gear 5 Luffy because of the toon force stuff in the community

Yeah Luffy has Toon Force and thanks to Bugs Bunny, Bighead (The Mask) and Popeye it's still one of the most NLF abilities in fiction which draws a lot of ire and salt, so Gear 5 Luffy ended up as the Meg Griffin of the Toon Force users in a few Vs circles for peeps who hate the ability to bully in spite matches (even tho Luffy's current Toon Force is quite minor and has a time limit, in other words actually balanced).

Good idea, everybody spit on Luffy!

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

As big of a stomp as this would be, having DevilArtemis and Moro collab for this fight would be a fire animation.

 

[Tipper17]

Damn it

Honestly, I'm fine with either Cell match-up mainly because afaik they haven't really utilized Metal's copy ability at all and it would be cool to see Metal use moves like the Kamehameha.

 

[The_Unknown_Warrior1]

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

The second one was adorable.

 

[Joycap]

what is the consensus on Shulk vs Sora anyway?

Prefer Shulk vs Stocke for obvious reasons, and Sora is a bit more Rex than Shulk. I would not be upset if Shulk vs Sora happened, though - as we prevent Shulk vs Lightning in this timeline (you already know my stance on that MU, I won't repeat myself)

Square up then, lol

 

[Joycap]

Actually, does Sora even have any other MUs that aren't Xenoblade ones? I'm genuinely curious.

 

[Bigdongus]

“KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY SON”

That was a great moment

True, it's unfair to compare the newbie to veteran gods among toons

 

[Dust_Collector]

In a slightly better timeline Sonic Team would've made Shadows Doom Wings ability only give him one wing to match his jp va for the movie

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

?

Lebron is gonna dunk on Sora, literally

Garou using it would hit harder

get this 2021 joker outta here

Let's just do Metal vs Garou at this point.

 

[Gyra1524]

Erm, actually it's only 7 months old.

Wanna play some KOF?

 

[Tahoy49574]

When we bully the site enough into accepting town level or higher Spidey.

When does it start ?

 

[Tahoy49574]

Shoutout to Rhino for having nearly 10 outlier fights against Planetary characters tho, what a beast

How many times does it have to happen in order to not be considered an "outlier" anymore ?
I've checked and the site allows Sandman to scale to Hulk and The Thing to a degree

 

[Crowman123]

Do you think that all episodes promised in the Kickstarter will be released by the end of 2025? They said that they want to do 1 episode/month at the absolute mininum.

 

[Joycap]

This

This 100% has to be a gag MU. I defy you to tell me otherwise

There are 12+ confirmed matchups left to do, so probably not.

Justin Beiber VS Rebecca Black has been unlisted, nothing of value was lost. I even hate the episode for moral reasons, it is just abysmal dogshit sprite animation and painfully unfunny.

I barely knew Justin Beiber and never heard off Rebecca Black (at the time), I just thought it was dark American nerd culture humour I was thankfully ignorant of. Watched it once, thought it was pitiful and moved on then years later when a few peeps brought it up here, in retrospect we were disgusted that two real life people (that were teens at the time) were treated like that.

Nothing of value was lost indeed.

Not new anyway besides I do not understand the attention to this
Nobody casual or hardcore folks gives a shit about the episodes existence nor do people who despise death battle cares about

I guarantee no one would even acknowledge the episode peeps just shut up about it

Reminds me of a south park episode about how awfully we treat celebrities

Let's be real nobody cares
This was a time folks said and done worse and done shit about those two during the whole hate craze for them
It's entire existence is a speck of dirt
