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

[Jasonsith]

Master Chief got beat up by a guy who wasn't even a super soldier. The devs didn't even know MC was the main protagonist of the series, just some guy in the armor meant to be a vehicle for the player.

If anything, this shows how much the legacy claim from Samus Aran vs Master Chief is moot.

Sorry for having a Halo 5 where Master Chief is such bullied and not giving attention to past feats.

Now, maybe a COD vs Halo Death Battle is more interesting. Ideas?

CoD doesn't really have iconic mascot, do they?

 

[Jimmy.robinson.5099]

So, who wins?

 

[Cropfist]

Not sure who Whammy is, but it reminds me of this

 

[AlephNullscp]

For some reason I can't post the image of my Dr. Clef MUs tier list, so I'll just put it in the form of a normal list:

1. Dean Winchester (Supernatural) The One
2. Tricky the Clown (Madness Combat) Good Alt
3. The Distortion (The Magnus Archives) Fine?
4. The Doctor (Doctor Who) Eh
5. Jack Slash (Parahumans) No Thanks

CoD doesn't really have iconic mascot, do they?

Captain Price is the closest they have to a mascot. Probably the most iconic CoD character.

Edit: We are talking Call of Duty, right?

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

Yeah

 

[Tots_Real]

Does cartoon network even have a mascot?

Teen Titans Go all day every day... or plank

Huh, I see, I guess maybe Cartoon Network shows don't really have longevity compared to spongebob, but i guess they don't really need it as they are good how they are
I'm guessing the longest running show is TTG so now Spongebob has to fight them

It has the highest number of episodes, longest running would probably be PPG because of special and stuff

So, who is spongebob gonna fight in DB?
if death battle is able to keep up the video with Viacom doing their thing

Homer Simpson, Buggs Bunny or Aquaman... maybe a pokemon. Yujiro Hanma

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

Nah, spongebob is fighting the demifiend

 

[Loh67867]

Doesn't Pepsiman literally stomp him? Cool Spot is very small

 

[OverlordDonnelly]

I don’t think Yusuke really dies in any of his matchups, atleast according to DBs current opinion on Yu Yu

A bit late to reply, but Yusuke definitely dies to Reimu, even if I'm not a fan of the matchup.

I'd still like to see it just to get 2hu in DB though

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

Oh yeah, forgot about that matchup. Yeah Yusuke gets flicked in the head and dies

Spoiler: Yu yu hakusho, probably should add spoiler incase someone still hasn't watched it, idk

Something like this

 

[BlackDarkness679]

I made a request for a better render

Current version TN of Kazuya Mishima (Tekken / Capcom) vs Iori Yagami (King of Fighters / SNK Playmore)

Give them connections as well to the match, they were also told in here or other thread

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Folks don't care and stomps never stopped DB for the most part

They have a match just as good if not outright way better literally then that one, which is more arguable and has more potential

Plus nemesis vs pyramid head is a better RE match to do next, was a community fight and both characters are in dead by daylight which caused hype in that game, nemesis being requested since pyramid head made it in there

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Besides what connections does wesker have with him anyway, as far as i know of RE lore, its their Corps affiliated with, experiments and leather jacket, basic eh

 

[Jimmy.robinson.5099]

Does cartoon network even have a mascot?

Does Shaggy count? I hear he gained God powers at some point...

 

[Nero415]

Besides what connections does wesker have with him anyway, as far as i know of RE lore, its their Corps affiliated with, experiments and leather jacket, basic eh

Two physically empowered, video game antagonists who debuted in the mid 90s, both are the owners / CEOs of dangerous corporations, are known for their glowing red eyes, monstrous transformations, being among the fastest characters in their respective games, their desire for power to destroy a man they hate as well as "fix" the world as it currently is, and both have a biological son who's trying to make amends for the sins of their fathers. They both also have a history of falling in volcanoes and now oppose other rival organizations. They also started out as heroes before revealing that they have evil intentions all along.

 

[Jasonsith]

Let us help oddmegaman make this a reality:
Giorno Giovanna (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) vs Sabrina Spellman (1996) (Sabrina, the Teenage Witch)

Spoiler

[YES THIS HAS CONNECTIONS!]

Connections: Both are blonds who had unusual births (Giorno was the son of DIO, a 100+ year old vampire and Sabrina was the daughter of a warlock and a mortal), they were very absent from one of their parents, when they became teenagers, they learned about and awakened a power that was dormant in them (Giorno's stand Gold Experience and Sabrina's magic) [If there is more or if I got something wrong please tell me]

Yay, May or Nay (As an alternative to Joker VS Giorno)
Roots?
Track Name?
R8 the TN
Would you rather have a stand or the ability to use magic

 

[Nero415]

^No offense, but that MU sounds awful.

 

[The_Smashor]

Eh, I've seen worse.

Not quite a MU I expected Giorno to be in. I rather prefer Alex Russo from Wizards of Waverly Place to be Sabrina's opponent.

 

[Oleggator]

I'm pretty much ok with match up, though may I head a bit more of the other potential. In animation, research, music.

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

Now, maybe a COD vs Halo Death Battle is more interesting. Ideas?

Masterchief vs Jango Fett

 

[Joycap]

"Old Hala is here to make you holler!"

ngl I did NOT expect this one to be as bloated as it was. Ask away as to why, with usual suggestions.

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

a lone warrior who journeys far and wide, killing dangerous quarries for a living. He belongs to a mythic warrior race, and eventually his heart will be softened when he runs into a child on the run from hunters.

 

[Nero415]

Prefer Mandalorian vs Goblin Slayer tbh

 

[Joycap]

Decus and Alice (Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World) vs Mercury and Emerald (RWBY)

• Both work generally in duos (hence the thumbnail)
• Both are associates of the narrative(s) main evil team (Salem/Chaos Syndicate and Richter/The Vanguard respectively)
• Both have an 'illusion' aspect, related to a major inciting incident in their respective series (Decus disguising himself as Lloyd to destroy Palmacosta and kill Emil's parents, and Emerald using her semblance to trick Pyrrha into overreacting to Penny, killing her and giving Cinder an opening to monologue in front of the fall of Beacon).

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Two physically empowered, video game antagonists who debuted in the mid 90s

Ok

Both are the owners / CEOs of dangerous corporations

Ok

are known for their glowing red eyes

Only Kazuya left eye glows red, iirc Wesker has both

monstrous transformations

Ok

being among the fastest characters in their respective games

Kazuya isnt really known for speed, if it was power that would be better

their desire for power to destroy a man they hate as well as "fix" the world as it currently is

Kazuya wants to destroy the world/conquer it rather then fix it, much like how Jin did in Tekken 6

and both have a biological son who's trying to make amends for the sins of their fathers

Fair enough

They both also have a history of falling in volcanoes and now oppose other rival organizations.

Ok

They also started out as heroes before revealing that they have evil intentions all along.

Kazuya was more of an anti hero

Again, none will want this, giorno vs joker is fated to happen, like ryuko vs shadow was despite all the odds from others

 

[Cropfist]

Wesker vs Mercer is better.

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

Wesker vs Mercer is better.

Mercer ******* God-Stomps Wesker.

 

[Tipper17]

Episode 148 (Batman VS Tony) - September 12th

Episode 149 - September 26th

Episode 150 - October 10th

Episode 151 - October 24th

Episode 152 - November 7th

Episode 153 - November 21st

Episode 154 (Penultimate Episode) - December 5th

Episode 155 (Season Finale) - December 19th

So Dio vs Alucard will take place on October 24 near Halloween

 

[Tipper17]

Mercer ******* God-Stomps Wesker.

And Mercer has Cole anyways

 

[Joycap]

Only Kazuya left eye glows red, iirc Wesker has both

Kazuya wants to destroy the world/conquer it rather then fix it, much like how Jin did in Tekken 6

Kazuya was more of an anti hero

If I may (and as you might have seen from my Hala MU chart posted a little while ago) I put Kazuya in 'fine', and it got to me thinking... would any of the Fighting-type Mega Evolutions (Lucario / Loppuny / Heracross / Medicham / Blaziken) be good Matchups for him? Specifically Medicham or Blaziken, it'd be a bit of a curveball to throw.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

For Kazuya a good opponent needs to have either backstory elements familiar with him, choice of clothes, demonic powers, daddy issues/messed up family and the like

Doubt the pokemons do

Really? Because Goro vs Machamp exists, and I don't recall our 4-armed duck friend having a "backstory" so to speak. Are we not just writing off every Pokemon MU on a misdemeanour, by that logic? Though if you want to say "trainer plus the respective Mega", then that is research I'm more than willing to do (I mean my last two charts have been Alolan trainers, so...).

That, and (in spite of my lack of familiarity with Tekken) I think seeing Mega Evos vs Devil Gene would be the shit to see in animation. File that under 'demonic powers' and transformations, I suppose (have you seen some of the dex entries?).

 

[XitSign]

Can soneone go through every DB matchup and make a list of fights that aren't complete stomps?

You know, so we can visualize how DB doesn't care about a fight being a stomp? And we can stop responding to every matchup idea someone has with "it's a stomp" like that matters?

It's almost like a more depressing FRA train

 

[Loh67867]

demonic powers, daddy issues/messed up family and the like

So basically Alucard from Castlevania?

 

[Loh67867]

Wait a sec, Alucard vs Kazuya might actually work, lmao
Both are protagonists of PS1 games that are half-humans with demonic powers that lost their mothers and want to kill their fathers (Dracula and Heihachi) that come back all the time and are also main antagonists in their series.
Not as good as Iori or even Wesker, but still kinda works lol, too bad Alucard stomps so hard it's not funny

 

[Joycap]

Funny you should mention that knowing how Wiz/Boomstick have handled canonical composite. Alucard would probably still stomp if it were the Netflix one, because of his scaling to Trevor.

Netflix vania' still dabbles in dimensional / time travel, and for that reason, I'm scratching my head wondering why death is only put at Building level.
