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?).

[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]

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?
Click to expand...
They do care in a certain sense
Swan in his tweet just mentions how Kazuya stomps Wesker without Calcs and such
And they rejected certain MU before before previous combatants cause they felt the opponent for them were stomps

Anyways from today's DBC
Batman opponent will be announced on July 15th
Ben would like to bring Tifa Back
Ben Does not want Tifa vs Yang 2
Probably more to mention but what I got so far

And Ben vs Beast Boy
Click to expand...
I can see why, they themselves admitted in the Link vs Cloud commentary the didn't really know how to approach RPG characters for a long while, with that changing nowadays and maybe they think Yang vs Tifa becomes too stompy now. Yang also has other interesting matchups that can work very well like Leone or Bakugou, doesn't she? Though, I think a new matchup for Tifa should be left for far in the future. If FF is getting more battles they really should start covering the other games and other populart matchups.
 
Yeah, Ben outright says they had no idea about how to handle RPG characters back during Link vs Cloud. He also does outright say, yeah, Tifa would win with how they view them now. The main reason they don’t like to say whether they still think a verdict is right or not is it would make people demand them to redo a fight if they admit that the verdict isn’t right.

Can't really blame them. The times they openly admit they messed up something a lot of people jump at their throats. I recall it got pretty bad when they mentioned they got wrong a calc in Android 18 vs Captain Marvel. Their compromise in that regard seems to be to retroactively update their take whenever a character is brought up again. Megaman is a good example of this gradually happening.

I tried coming up with matchups for Yukari, since she is my favorite character ever. (Though that changes on a daily basis with Monika and Edelgard) But I was unable to find anyone that could perfectly thematically match with Yukari. Elizabeth is a decent option, but she still doesn’t fully fit Yukari imo. Gotta find someone else who’s past is mostly unknown within canon besides small hints thrown around with the existence of one character (Maribel Hearn) who’s also extremely powerful but incredibly lazy. They’re willing to see themselves as the villain if it means they can protect the thing they love most etc

So what did SB admit to being wrong in the video in short? I'm kind of too lazy to click on it myself
Click to expand...
Basically they realized that Fox's 66c speed feat apparently wasn't valid so Sonic won via that or something.

This also may imply they believe in Planet level Super Sonic since they gave Arwings Planetary durability.

Still mad they're totally blind to five statements and 2 direct feats for FTL Sonic.
 
Maverick_Zero_X said:
I’m more upset that Super Sonic wasn’t Planetary at bare minimum
Click to expand...
They gave Super Sonic the win against the Arwing, which they gave planetary durability, and I think they may have given Sonic planet via stopping the Arc.

I should also note they hyped the **** out of Fox before the fight. Remember what they did before Hulk vs Broly for Hulk? Well imagine if Broly actually lost that.
 
The_Unknown_Warrior1 said:
Yeah well YouTube generally does downplay video games, because apperantly they can't suspend their sense of disbelief of a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog being a cosmic level character
Click to expand...
There's still some who believes but not that much (I swear to God if someone would ever say to me again, that sonic is not even faster than sound because matpat said that...).
 
The_Unknown_Warrior1 said:
I mean doesn't just Base Sonic alone scale to Planet level characters? I know SB is allergic to the word scaling, but Sonic being that tier in base bare minimum has been a consistent thing since the Dreamcast era
Click to expand...
Yeah. They even said a Chaos Emerald powers his Sonic Wind, and single Emeralds have shown planetary feats, so even by their own logic Planet level base Sonic is a pretty solid thing.
