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

[TMaakkonen]

Ahh fighting games, don't play them so I'm neutral on who wins in them.

Its such a blessing when you are neutral in VS rather than have interest in franchise featured.

Is any poor soul here Naruto fan?

 

[Cropfist]

Venom vs Crona is surprisingly good thematically and it should not be in Top 4 worst of S7 eps.

It would have been good enough if they gave Venom the madness.

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

I only made it up to the pain arc, I still need to finish it

It's not it's just decent fight
Ain't no where near the worst when BatGwen, Zuroki,WonderRa,Sindery Exist

Also There are researchers who are now into Guilty Gear Lousy and and Liam are fans of it now

 

[TMaakkonen]

Oh yeah despite good theme its only... really average. They somehow did the too dark BG again with Venom.

yeah lol to me it just in the area alright/Decent tier of S7

So what fights you want to see personally?

 

[TMaakkonen]

Well, I since I'm fan of Ratchet & Clank, I'd want Nefarious to be in... but I don't have PS5 so lets not talk about him(not like anyone else has).

I'd like more Digimon but most popular MUs they have aren't my cup of tea. I guess rivalry stomping Millie is fun but poor Arceus I guess.

Sir Daniel is cool but too niche and will very likely get stomped.

Bill vs Discord also sounds interesting.

If anyone can get a match for Patapon, they'll be crowned as Master of Based.

Honestly, I'm mostly just along this ride, hoping to see cool fights. S7 was rough but its not all bad. They also did Wario vs DDD which I did request, that was neat.

I guess because of Carnage vs Lucy I am fond of MUs that look dumb but actually work, like Maul vs Akechi. Or maybe its Chorus of Carnage is why I like it. DB doing soundtracks was a great idea.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Didn't Tekken 7 release way earlier than Ryu vs Jin? So it would be just wrong then, not outdated.

June 2nd of 2017, feats where there, they simply favored Ryu for no reason on his stuff like with Yang

 

[Tipper17]

DB doing soundtracks was a great idea.

It's practically there greatest idea

 

[Tipper17]

June 2nd of 2017, feats where there, they simply favored Ryu for no reason on his stuff like with Yang

I mean the researchers weren't all in for Ryu it was Debatable with them and it came down to a vote which Ryu only beat him by one IIRC

 

[BlackDarkness679]

The problem isn't that TTT2 is or isn't canon (honestly by evidence it seems ok to use) and that Heihachi beats Geese, its that despite TTT2 & Jinpachi 45 Gigatons feats Ryu would still apparently beat Jin.

If they honestly believe that, there better be a good reason for that, nothing from the games or comics have anything matching the two feats they had for Heihachi

Tho they lied on saberwulf vs talbain fight about the speed overall, talbain says he is on his way to surpass light in speed (so he didnt yet) and the robots flight, so this may be another case too from mixing too many mediums of a series and making up feats

Going by what Heihachi vs Geese had, i really dont see how Ryu stood a chance even if they scaled him to Akuma feat which comes short even if they went with the lowest value of jack feat calced

 

[BlackDarkness679]

And its not like HvG had new feats since RvJ either and they still used TTT2 stuff despite what little skepticism there was or the laser beam speed which they said in pop ups being sub rel only to say later its just high hypersonic without explanation as to why

Idk that's them frankly

I mean folks can change there minds on characters stats
It's been three years since that fight
This site changes there mind on various stats near 24/7

 

[TMaakkonen]

Its probably really just the Akuma meteor feat. Maybe Honda feat meant that Akuma's feat is plausible.

Because frankly DB does use bit too highballs currently. Steven Universe is not consistently Dwarf Star level. Lex being universal consistently is also a bold statement.

But in the same episode, remember Star Platinum punching at 1 million tons but cant hurt a 1000 tons dura Kenshiro? And never was brought up in post fight reasons

Same with sub rel going high hypersonic there

I said it before S5 was the Growing Pain season
You can tell they were trying to get the hang of Calcs keyword trying

Lex has several herald level showings though he's still weaker compared to characters like Superman and Steven does have consistent Dwarf Star stuff via the Cluster.

…Well yeah, High 5-A Steven only applies to his strongest state that he assumed in one episode…

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

I remember one with shout mon that was fairly even, don’t know about it
Also this one

Also I remember seeing a patamon match, but I also forgot it

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Its probably really just the Akuma meteor feat. Maybe Honda feat meant that Akuma's feat is plausible.

Then they break their rules of canonicity by using a crossover feat not even base akuma does, also e honda is shared and questionable, either way nowhere near the previous one

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Anyway

 

[The_Smashor]

aaaand OPM's back to High 6-A.

 

[TMaakkonen]

In 1 day worth of topic? lol

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

The reasoning for the downgrade wasn’t too great

 

[The_Smashor]

oh god OPM's gonna be the new High 6-A era Sonic, isn't it?

 

[The_Axiom_of_Virgo]

Meh... it's only a matter of time until OPM gets a solid tier 5 or above feat, so I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[The_Smashor]

Yeah, Sonic had several. Still was a bitch to get the wiki to consider them.

Due to all the offsite wank, OPM is a verse I'm sure a lot of people want to be weak.

 

[TMaakkonen]

Tier 5 is peanuts compared to OPM wank outside lol

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

TFW when gag character when not actually gag

 

[Stefano4444]

Speaking about OPM.

Battle Beast VS Lord Boros (Invincible VS One-Punch Man)

 

[Tipper17]

Speaking about OPM.

Battle Beast VS Lord Boros (Invincible VS One-Punch Man)

Ya know i get the connections: Both wanting to find a worthy opponent but there's something about it that i don't vibe with personally

 

[Stefano4444]

Why? You think that both had more interesting options or that the characters don't mix well in a fight?

 

[Kontororou]

Utterly random thought, but is Sakuya Izayoi vs Celebi any good as a matchup, or is it just "no connections beyond time manipulation"? I genuinely don't know if the matchup is good.

If you include Mystery Dungeon, it's a fair matchup going off the sites ratings, since both can get to 2-C.

 

[Tipper17]

Options wise Boros has Fu from No More heroes 3 but the game haven't been released yet
Don't know for BB I prefer someone more Primal for him something that shares his brutality
Fight Wise eh I think it could be fine

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

I’ve heard Fu vs Homelander or Psycho Goreman, dunno if those are any good

The latter same deal with Hit but at least has the set up for it with Alien Assassin hired to murder some Maid thing

From what i've read the connections are just "Time,huh?"

 

[Loh67867]

I've just realized that Hit vs Sakuya is on the same level with the shit like Ness vs Sans in that sense that they both have one connection, but still probably good animation and music potential
Except for some reason everyone doesn't treat Ness vs Sans seriously(I'm not telling you to, just saying), but ******* Swan himself likes Hit vs Sakuya, that's bullshit imho
