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

[Theuser789]

How it did it go in the games?
Generations had Base Sonic Beat him

In Sonic Adventure it was just like any other final boss fight, so not impossible to beat but not super easy, especially since Death Battle takes the gameplay fight literally because of time limit, Gens base beats him, yeah, although only in the console version, since the Biolizard replaces him in 3DS

 

[EJthe24th]

Yoshimitsu i dont know, he is a classic that has been in every game so far, but its a matter of his opponent

You can have him fight Kenshi from Mortal Kombat.

Tekken 5 in total made 8.3 million

Tekken 6 made in total only 3.5 million

Well Jin basically becomes the villain in that game who starts ww3 (near the end you find out his intentions for it), you find out Heihachi pulled a part 4 joseph joestar with a swedish woman resulting in the josuke of the game known as lars, which fights around with an amnesia along his anime robot waifu alisa in order to put a stop to Jin and Azazel which is a deity who wanna destroy Earth for all the sins of the humanity, which also happens to be the origins of the devil gene

The main story is basically a beat them up styled mode with cutscenes playing eventually after a while, making you care for the death of a character you prolly dont give two ***** about and the boring moments in some of scenes

I thought it was cool. Then again, it is a matter of perspective.

I think mainly because while Tekken is popular in the US KOF on the other hand....Not so much
like the last KOF MU before Heihachi vs Geese was Ken vs Terry which only got-2Mil
in Compariosn to Ryu vs Jin which got-4.5 Mil

It's a shame though, KOF deserves more recognition compared to SF, MK, and Tekken

I always forget Kenshi is an option tho what connection are between them to be an option?

I thought it was cool. Then again, it is a matter of perspective.

I mean when i myself played it years ago i didnt really care much about, nowadays i just can see why people say the story started to be going downhill with it, tho imo its like okayish to me

It's a shame though, KOF deserves more recognition compared to SF, MK, and Tekken

Given Geese being in Tekken 7 and KOF15 is around the corner, the series can gain more popularity and all

Tekken again didnt gain much attention till Tekken 7 came around

 

[EJthe24th]

I always forget Kenshi is an option tho what connection are between them to be an option?

1. Both originate from from clans/heritage that started from feudal Japan.
2. They have different ways of swordsmanship (Yoshi's bizarre and unpredictability vs. Kenshi's Telekinesis/Telepathy and sound-over-sight).
3. Both grudges for taking away their loved ones (Bryan killed the Shida Clan and Qian Chi murdered Kenshi's wife)

I mean when i myself played it years ago i didnt really care much about, nowadays i just can see why people say the story started to be going downhill with it, tho imo its like okayish to me

That's nice to hear

True, true

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Even after 5 years i still see it look pretty cool animated

6:00 is where it starts btw

KOF deserves more recognition compared to SF, MK, and Tekken

Well KOF was a big name back then in Asia, esp. in late 1990s. Until SNK Playmore runs itself down the business and the fighting game business market is split by Capcom and Arc System Works.

How popular is Homestuck? I hear Dave Strider vs Homura Akemi as a matchup recently.

 

[CardboardSlime]

Not familiar with Homestuck, but I think it was really huge and popular back in the early to mid 2010s.

 

[The_Smashor]

The only thing I know Homestuck for is technically having the first song in Smash Bros that didn't officially originate from a video game.

Megalovania?

 

[The_Smashor]

Megalovania?

Yeah, since Nintendo and Toby Fox don't really acknowledge the Halloween Hack.

Also popular in South America and Mexico too wasn't it?

 

[Oleggator]

Well...
Halloween hack is despite of being hack, still a game (it's basically interesting alternative ending and way to make earthbound more spooky(though bloody winters is a little much I think) despite of being pretty edgy and despite of Toby Fox not liking it for that reason).

 

[The_Smashor]

It's also a fan game, and Nintendo definitely wouldn't officially recognize it. Not to mention, due to being a fan game, it's technically unofficial media.

 

[Oleggator]

Well, still a media...


But yes not official so I guess they're putted music originated on music... Though by that logic this is first not originated from videogame:

Because beggining is based on Mario Bros level start which is based on this:

 

[Tipper17]

Also popular in South America and Mexico too wasn't it?

Yep

 

[Thestrikingzebra]

I was gonna bring up that with Terry in Smash, that might help boost KoF’s popularity but it seems it hasn’t. At least to my knowledge. Perhaps when the new game comes out, fans who main Terry but haven’t played a KoF game may check it out.

 

[The_Smashor]

I know Terry really boosted my interest in KOF, but my toes were already a bit in the water from my time in the MUGEN community.

 

[Tipper17]

Still sucks that Heihachi fight only gonna reach a Mil views this week while Shaduko and LexDoom only took two-three days to get to 1Mil

 

[BlackDarkness679]

The characters in the previous battles are more popular and well known

From fighting games SF and MK are more well known then others

Blake preview

 

[EJthe24th]

Blake preview

Hmmmm. What's everyone's thoughts on this preview?

 

[The_Smashor]

Gunvolt does the whole "Discrimination against superhumans" thing infinitely better than RWBY

It's pretty good, it had some decently funny jokes.

 

[Jimmy.robinson.5099]

Hmmmm. What's everyone's thoughts on this preview?

Seemed kinda weird they used a feat from Volume 1. Unless that feat is actually pretty vital, which I honestly don't know...

 

[Stefano4444]

Hmmmm. What's everyone's thoughts on this preview?

Looks accurate, but its a preview so we will have to wait for the full episode to see how accurate/correct the analysis is.

 

[Stefano4444]

Speaking about RWBY and discrimination, do you think Adam Taurus VS Arlong (RWBY VS One Piece) could be a good match for a Death Battle?

 

[Oleggator]

Blake preview

Well, Blake is already high 8-C, not something wrong and I guess already enough to beat Mikasa

 

[The_Smashor]

Speaking about RWBY and discrimination, do you think Adam Taurus VS Arlong (RWBY VS One Piece) could be a good match for a Death Battle?

I personally prefer Copen, if only because it's unironically probably Gunvolt's best chance of getting into DB.

 

[Jimmy.robinson.5099]

Can't say. I've always been curious about One Piece, but... it's so LONG...

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

Can't say. I've always been curious about One Piece, but... it's so LONG...

It is WORTH IT

 

[BlackDarkness679]

It is WORTH IT

watch it bro it gets better after episode 74563463374

 

[Jasonsith]

Speaking about RWBY and discrimination, do you think Adam Taurus VS Arlong (RWBY VS One Piece) could be a good match for a Death Battle?

This is a free win to One Piece so cheap it rivals Blake vs Mikasa and Weiss vs Mitsuru.

Oh the preview straight out says Blake can tank more than a Thunder Spear can deliver. Good job and good game the "oriental blooded".

Adam wins tho

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

I’d rather read the manga personally, One piece the anime is a huge dedication

Do what you prefer, still i would recommend you to watch the G-8 Arc, it's a pretty good Arc despire be fully filler.

What connections the two have?

 

[The_Smashor]

What connections the two have?

IDK since I haven't seen RWBY, but the gist I get from it is that their extremists in their ideologies (Copen wants to wipe out every single Adept, bar none, while Adam wants Faunus to rule over humans) and are also edgy teenage anime rivals.

 

[Jasonsith]

Adam wins tho

Technically speaking Adam Taurus vs Arlong is neither an AP stomp nor speed blitz (unless lifting strength is considered)

But Death Battle cherry pick from our sites as they toot as they please and they can straight out have One Piece FTL+ and island AP so as to end the verdict.

That... How popular is Gunvolt verse exactly?

---

Raven (Post-Flashpoint) vs Marceline Abadeer is so one-sided I made a horrible pun.

 

[The_Smashor]

In America, not very, though it has a cult following.

In Japan, it's popularity is about on the level of most non-viral indie games like Shovel Knight. Lumen and Lola even get IRL concerts.

 

[The_Smashor]

You know, having talked about it for a while on another thread, do DC Heralds even have universal feats? Because I honest-to-god haven't found a single one that wasn't from a temporary power-up or taken out of context.
