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

Wally West vs Archie Sonic could have been much better. I didn't like Way Past Flash, I didn't like the length of the fight, and I didn't like the flash model.

I didn't dislike the fight, it just was a let down because of all the build-up from the debates.

 

[Tipper17]

Anywho

I do think it would fit, i think the Hulk model looks like something that someone made for a DB Fighterz mode, in my opinion it would be a perfect opportunity to use Fighterz Broly

Maybe

I agree with the length mainly it should've been longer
Good fight but could've done more with both characters Abilities

I think they didn't have enough lines coming from either character, from the trailer it looked like there was gonna be lines thrown between the characters

 

[Cropfist]

I didn't like how they literally coughed something up last-minute to make Wally win.

 

[Tipper17]

Alright heres mine but mainly opponent wise
Booster Gold and Gray were perfect opponents for Cable and Esdeath
Booster especially plays off Cable better than Trunks could have
Danny vs Jake were done well in sprites and said sprites capture there cartoon selves well

 

[Jimmy.robinson.5099]

I hate how accurate this is...

 

[Loh67867]

Danny vs Jake were done well in sprites and said sprites capture there cartoon selves well

It is well done, but it would still work better in hand-drawn style, it was a wasted opportunity to make Genos vs Warmachine a hand-drawn episope

 

[Loh67867]

Booster Gold and Gray were perfect opponents for Cable and Esdeath

Nah, Trunks would be a better opponent for Cable, but Trunks' most requested opponent is Silver, so yeah, they didn't really have a choice

 

[Tots_Real]

I mean it makes sense, Warner owns both Death Battle and DC

 

[Tipper17]

Eh not really
For a connection standpoint obviously
But animation potential eh while not bad and can still be good Trunks and Cable wouldn't have much to work with Interaction wise and Trunks probably wouldn't bounce off well Cable versatility like Booster could

Connections are the most important things in a match imho, it would be less funny than Cable vs Booster, but i still think it could be better

 

[Loh67867]

Also, in my opinion the research in Cable vs Booster Gold was trash when it came down to Cable, they didn't even use half of his abilities

 

[The_Smashor]

I mean it makes sense, Warner owns both Death Battle and DC

Wait, Warner owns Death Battle?

 

[Loh67867]

Wait, Warner owns Death Battle?

They own Rooster Teeth and RT own DB, so basically, yeah, they do

 

[The_Smashor]

Dang. Still, I doubt they'd be so petty as to change the results in their favor, espesially since they aren't responsible for the Comics (What's mainly used by Death Battle)

 

[Tipper17]

They are but there not the end all to be all most of the time
Besides Like look at most fights recent DB fights
Galaxia vs Beerus-both were versatile and can play off each other's abilities
Hulk vs Broly-Both were your typical muscle head brawlers
Roshi vs Jiraya- versatile and and can play off each other's abilities
Trunks is practically generic compared to Cable stuff
Would be fun yes better debatable

Also, in my opinion the research in Cable vs Booster Gold was trash when it came down to Cable, they didn't even use half of his abilities

I agree on that
Tho lets be real DB can't use every ability a character has when there own series barely has them use it majority of the time

 

[Tipper17]

Dang. Still, I doubt they'd be so petty as to change the results in their favor, espesially since they aren't responsible for the Comics (What's mainly used by Death Battle)

I mean WB executive wanted them to use Johnny cage in season 6 and he lost to Captain Falcon
Ben even mentions business has called DB to use there characters on the show

 

[Loh67867]

I agree on that
Tho lets be real DB can't use every ability a character has when there own series barely has them use it majority of the time

I understand, but they missed so many important abilities that could make the battle more interesting or even the ones that could give Cable the win

 

[Tipper17]

I understand, but they missed so many important abilities that could make the battle more interesting or even the ones that could give Cable the win

Obviously I agree given the prediction blog mentions that as well
I'm just saying Given DB has deadlines and not High Budget on the show meaning they can't use every ability for said character and even use ideas for the said character

 

[Hunterzillas]

Alright heres mine but mainly opponent wise

Danny vs Jake were done well in sprites and said sprites capture there cartoon selves well

I agree with all of this ^

 

[Cropfist]

I mean it makes sense, Warner owns both Death Battle and DC

It...it's all coming together now...

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

Wait, Warner owns Death Battle?

Wiki say, "Rooster Teeth is a subsidiary of Otter Media, which is itself a subsidiary of WarnerMedia"

 

[Tipper17]

You know this shit with WB ain't New Right?

 

[Cropfist]

Hey, guys. Which opponent of what matchups do you think could have been better individual to fight?

Like for example, Esdeath should have fought Satsuki or Cable, imo, should have Trunks.

Also, the world would be a better place if Green Lantern fought Nova like he should have.

 

[silentgodomega]

Also, the world would be a better place if Green Lantern fought Nova like he should have.

Damn what you have against Richard Rider? I don't think he even currently has the power set he gained during Annihilation which would have made it a fair match.

 

[Tipper17]

Also, the world would be a better place if Green Lantern fought Nova like he should have.

Nah if anything Blame folks not having better opponents for Ben
Hal was the better fit
Besides John Stewart exist for Richard anyways

Makes me feel bad for Ben and his crew. They work hard but don't get much in return sometimes

Never forget the time they admitted they made a mistake and everyone gave them crap for it.

 

[Thestrikingzebra]

Wasn’t that for 18 vs Captain Marvel?

 

[The_Smashor]

Correct.

 

[silentgodomega]

Wasn’t that for 18 vs Captain Marvel?

Ye, that was what I was referencing.

 

[Thestrikingzebra]

What would everyone’s reaction be if instead of Mikasa vs Blake we get Nia (Xenoblade 2) vs Blake

 

[Tipper17]

Never forget the time they admitted they made a mistake and everyone gave them crap for it.

Yeah I can t blame them for not bothering to do so these days

 

[silentgodomega]

What would everyone’s reaction be if instead of Mikasa vs Blake we get Nia (Xenoblade 2) vs Blake

You would get a "Is that the one with a Scottish accent" and "Okay but why though" from me.

 

[Thestrikingzebra]

It’s a Welsh accent but yes. The matchup is actually super themeatic, even more so than Blake vs Mikasa. It’s just that it’s a huge stomp for Nia.

 

[Jimmy.robinson.5099]

I mean it makes sense, Warner owns both Death Battle and DC

And they say Disney are the ones we should be worried about.

 

[Stefano4444]

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

Oh, I have a hot take (Or maybe it's just something people haven't thought of)

In Meta vs Carolina, Epsilon should have had to fight Omega and/or Beta after Carolina killed Maine, since The Meta refers to the A.I. collectively and both Omega and Beta can jump from armor to armor. The rest of the A.I. wouldn't really be an issue since, even though they wouldn't be killed when Maine died, they'd still be stuck in his armor. It can be argued Beta wouldn't do this for spoiler reasons, but Omega would absolutely try to take over Carolina.

That would've been ******* awesome to see.

 

[Cropfist]

What would everyone’s reaction be if instead of Mikasa vs Blake we get Nia (Xenoblade 2) vs Blake

The same, indifference. I would only care if Blake fights Akame, which is unlikely.
