To be fair, fighting game canon is infamously tricky to figure out.

Death Battle Season Eight Discussion Thread (1) (All-time Death Battle Spoilers Alert)

Ok, so i made the most idiotic Death Battle Theory
On 3:26 the track begins sounding kinda like DBZ's intro, Rock The Dragon and the theory is that basically this track's instrumentals should've been originally used as a track for Goku vs Superman 3, but they cancelled Goku vs Supes 3 and instead we got Ryu vs Jin
Now you can put this theory in your DB icebergs or some shit like that

Fighting games aren't easy given a good chunk rely on scaling and would be boring to do rundowns on based on there limited appearances
Yep

It's more about having double standards rather than what can be replicated or not.

Depends on which you talking, Tekken isnt hard for example, but you gotta pay attention to certain stuff, there are some haxes found around that no one brought up to discussions
Where as something like Mortal Kombat with its timelines shenanigans or Street Fighter which shares a universe with other titles and having the chronology of all taking place differently, is harder

Looking at the recommendations for what media to check out for the next fight? Yes.
Edit: To clarify, recommended by Ultraguy who is a researcher.

If anything the manga is more canon than the anime because the manga is the original source material
- 15,706

Actually, in the case of Dragon Ball Super, the Anime is the original.

Dragon Ball Super manga isn't canon

They are both kinda canon? They draw from the same notes. But I think the anime should have more precedence over the manga. That or you should only canonize what is present in both materials and the first two Super movies plus Broly.
- 9,351

There is no prominent canon, they are two media which take inspirtation from Toriyama's script and are made by other people.
The Broly movie is canon to the manga and most likely to the anime too, it's just stopped before it.

From what i remember, the anime had to follow what toriyama says, the manga was free to do whatever they wanted basically, toyotaro was writtting the manga, toriyama was looking over only
- 9,351
- 8,166
Toyotaro still has to follow Toriyama's instructions, and the latter made some corrections and likely supervises all chapters.

Yes it is wtf
Don't listen to them the anime only existed to sell toys. Meanwhile toriyama works far more with the manga.
And this isn't bringing up the fact that the manga is better than the anime.

Ladybug is obviously too strong for spidermen at this point but it'll still be good to see.
- 8,853

The anime is also cancelled, unlike the manga who is still going with Toryama involvement
- 10,748
- 17,698
I don’t think it was cancelled, thought it just ended
- 14,026
- 14,207
So to you the moro arc was better then all of the anime.....let alone roshi getting ultra instinct or kefla and gohan as equals....yeah no bro
- 14,026
- 14,207
Also the anime needed to follow toriyama vision, the manga not as much, he looks over it, but it wasnt as strict with the anime, toyotaro has more freedom with it at the end of the day
Both are canon regardless, but they are different canon from one another, also the anime is in this case taking priority over manga

The anime was never cancelled. Of course we've been given no news of another season, but it is hardly cancelled, especially when you consider the fact that the Broly movie was far more in line with the anime than the manga, what with the portrayal of SSJ Blue as having an aura, being stamina efficient, and the interviews which stated Kaioken and Evolution were only left out because they wanted to avoid having Goku and Vegeta break their limits so soon after ToP (which makes little sense but oh well).
- 3,477

This is probably the best take away, both are canon, but the anime has more prominence, especially in matters of merchandise and extended canon.

Honestly the super anime was a joke compared to the manga.

That's not really saying much, that's like saying one week old garbage smells better then two week old garbage.
They're both garbage, and GT for all it's issues certainly felt more like a continuation
- 6,574

And what sucks more is that Super had some interesting concepts and ideas, but it felt squandered and was more like a DB fanfic then a official piece of media

Manga Blue only has an aura in its pseudo-kaioken state, in fact having an aura appear in Perfected Blue is outright stated and shown to be detrimental otherwise.

It also has evolved blue

Personally, I just enjoy Super for the thrill of the action, sure it gets annoying qhen the plot becomes an incoherent mess, but I never really enjoyed Dragon Ball for some grand Tolkein-esque story, Dragon Ball was only meant to be a comedic and light-hearted adventure + battle manga afterall.
GT...I know has its merits, but I can't lie and say I enjoy much except the occasional good fight. Whilst Super's plot feels like a mess, GT's plot feels like a boing mess. That being said, I have friends who enjoy its fights and designs, so there's no reason to get too hung-over it.

Indeed, which Goku does not have in either manga or anime (with the aura looking distinctly different from the pseudo-kaioken style aura in particular)

I get that, I just feel in comparison to the OG manga and Z it feels mediocre
