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

Okay, but how?

Because she fought and defeated them?

Because she fought and defeated them?

...? The only Tier 2 atm is Aesir, who is superior to both of them.

hes not tho, there have alrady been massive multi-page threads explaining this

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

So Bayonetta is 2-C?

Might’ve slipped my mind then. Low 2-C or just 2-C then?

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Theyre being downgraded to 4-A actually

Now i know 100% you troll, since that isnt a thing to happen from the convos i saw

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Low 2-C

 

[WeeklyBattles]

oh no im 100% serious about this, theres an entire dicord server for it

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

Low 2-C

But the top tiers are 2-C?

 

[Oleggator]

The last few hours it was Shadow vs Ryuko.
Now it's Dante vs Bayonetta.
The events are changing pretty fast.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Then screenshot if that is legit, as i dont believe this is a thing

I personally have Dante above Bayonetta.

And Joker above both.

@The_Smashor

Is there shadow sprite like in WW vs AS?

 

[Oleggator]

I only finally started to play earthbound.

Don't know when I'll start playing those games... especially persona 5 which is PS3-4 exclusive

 

[Dust_Collector]

Can't believe people care about Bayo vs Dante when Link stomps both of them smh.

Also I really hope they use the Sonic Battle sprites for Shadow. I may not like the GBA Sonic games but god damn they went HARD on the sprite work, shit looks good and they'd be fools to use anything else.

Get Royal, or Strikers. Latter can be played on PS5 iirc.

Does he?

The problem is Ryuko doesn't have some good sprite in contrast.
If they will be same sized that would be weird

 

[BlackDarkness679]

@Cropfist
Taking a screenshot of the parts were that was talked isnt hard

 

[Peter_"Quicksilver"_Maximoff]

What have i came back to lol

 

[Dust_Collector]

Does he?

I was mostly joking with that statement, but a good argument can made in Links favour. Well, composited Link anyway, it becomes way harder to argue with any individual one.

True, but man I really wanna see those sweet, sweet Battle sprites.

No only saw a custom made one on DA

Fuckery

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

Some interesting things in Shadow’s trailer

• They’ve already mentioned Sonic’s Sub-Relativistic feat and the Light Speed Attack
• They’re using Shadow’s in-game power-ups, which I didn’t expect at all

It should not be on Discord in the first place.

 

[NotoriouSoda]

Why?

Just why to everything that happened?

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

Dante vs Bayo is apparently extremely contentious

I have been telling you the later for two days bro

 

[Oleggator]

Also sword wasn't from black knight and just mentioned as pun I guess.

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

Literally everyone in the entire universe but Weekly says Shadow stomps. Those radio messages from space? Aliens saying Shadow stomps in this matchup.

Anyways, what animation style do you think it's going to be in? Shadow obviously works best in sprites, like most Sonic characters, but from the Riot Rumble I saw Ryuko's sprites are kinda jank.

I"m guessing 2D animation with hand-drawn stuff, sorta like Lee vs Sanji or Wally vs Sonic

So that tells us that he'll have the speed and versatility advantage even in base

 

[Tipper17]

Cause why not?

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

Does he?

Composite Link beats Dante, not Bayo, due to blitzing the former and being blitzed by the latter.

 

[Cropfist]

Seeing them actually use Shadow's unique stuff makes me happy.

 

[Comicgyal]

Link vs Bayo would be pretty interesting to see

3D would have been the easiest option given Ryuko's lack of sprites, but I don't think it would have as much potential.

If Bayo gets a runback I'd prefer her to fight Kratos, honestly

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

For reference, the black hole feat they mentioned was placed at Mach 260,664 in MvS2, nearly thirty times greater than Ryuko’s speed feat (Mach 8,937), so it seems like Base Shadow already holds a hefty advantage.

Honestly I think they could do a pretty good 3D fight between the two of them, if they stylized it like Might Guy vs All Might

To be fair, Ryuko's feat is lowballed a fair bit, but the point does still stand.
