Would you say Korra vs Storm is the curveball of this season or Po vs IF?

I mean, people at least WANTED and hoped for Po vs IF. I have literally never seen Korra vs Storm requested.

LMAO, Storm its regulary suppost to be Herald level?
Yeah, if they didn't scale Iron Fist to Universal+, i doubt they will do the same with Storm, not that it needed for her to win.

According to our Storm stats she’s Semi-Herald. Not like it matters since she seems to win even without scaling with that planetary storm feat.

Probably not per say but she is an Omega level Mutant

Korra vs Storm
Iron Fist vs Po was arguable this season
Korra and Storm weren't at all

Anyway as for my overall thoughts towards SK Vs Oni:
*The 3D animation was quite clunky and nowhere near as smooth Hulk Vs Broly nor as atmospheric as Ganon Vs Drac.
*The Raging Demon felt and looked quite underwhelming (Even tho it was ment to fail), I would've prefer Shao using his super charge into Akuma's RD teleport then both of them rapidly clash blows in the dark (The clashes progressively get faster with green and purple auras showing brief cuts of their final flurry before Shao blocks Akuma's killing blow leading into the Fatality finisher).
*I didn't like the environment destruction as it looked pretty janky, it felt like SK was knocking down legos instead of stone structures.
*That said the music was decent, the voice performances were serviceable and the sound design was actually good (especially with the visceral x-rays)perhaps some equivalent exchange shenanigans were done?
A 6/10 DB for me. Considering the potential both of these characters brought on top of the feats/lore backing them, the animation didn't do the MU justice and had quite a few missed opportunities (It kinda gave me WW Vs Thor/She-Ra vibes tbh, like it felt " incomplete and unpolished").
I dunno perhaps I'm being too harsh? But for a legacy matchup between two iconic fighting videogame final bosses the animation and even the performances from Wiz and Boomstick felt lackluster and didn't really live up to expectations nor hype the MU generated (It just "felt" like an average DB episode).
I don't think I have been this critical towards an episode in a long time (No disrespect to anyone who legitimately enjoyed it tho). I personally found it (Overall) bland but not bad.
Also I LOL at folks that wanted Akuma to scale to Asura yet Shao Khan by similar standards should get DC herald scaling.

Discussing which matchup is better is a thing.
Discussing which matchup the crew pick is another.
And Akuma vs Shao Kahn is on Youtube by now.
Has Emma Frost elsewhere reached Phoenix Force standard without being given 50% Phoenix Force? I mean, she can alternatively have Atom Eve, Gwen Ten or Fubuki.
Oh she is an Omega level mutant.
And does it make one sad the more OP character "looks less Mary Sue" here?
Sosuke Aizen made a literal showing at the end of the video (while only a statue of Madara Uchiha is shown). Does that mean... Rolls eyes
The list of Omega level mutants. Not long, but does have some differences in power levels. Oh Cable (Marvel Comics) is an Omega level mutant and he lost to Booster Gold (Post-Crisis) so we more or less know there is a floor on how "strong" some of the weaker mutants are. Oh Apocalypse clashed with Cable and he is not even classified as an Omega level mutant.
But never mind Storm still slaps Korra hard even with just her direct feats and "our (downplayed) herald scaling".
Which is back to where I left: why is Korra vs Storm so ugly while people sleep easy with Giorno Giovanna vs Ren Amamiya or Samus Aran vs Master Chief or such.

Still trying to figure out why they're choosing to do this matchup NOW specifically. Even putting aside my own indifference for the matchup, what about this matchup says "10 years of Death Battle?" Even if they were going to do this matchup, this season simply isn't a good fit.
It's not a legacy matchup like IronBat or GeeseHeihachi. It's not one with history with the show like MachoKool or YodaMickey. It wasn't a super requested matchup like LinkCloud2 or Blackflash. It wasn't one with ties to the research team like ShadowRyuko or DioAlucard. It isn't even really tied to a notable figure in the community like BlakeMikasa was to Y0UR0NLYMATE.

That quote is not literal and not supported regardless either, the black moons arent calcable as explosions, it was debunked anyway when SF got revised
Liu kang beat shinnok too and fought Raiden many times and put up a fight, using that as a reason against Kahn isnt even a good argument, Ksng is also one of the strongest characters and main one in the series even by Ed Boon word
That shang tsung who killed and took his soul is amped by kronika crown and he took raiden and fujin souls, let alone he beat Kronika too and only fire god liu beat him, regular shang tsung got humiliated by regular liu kang all time and in mk11 aftermath baraka stabbed him and wounded him bad, alao kitana moment is PIS, kitana necer shown feats near that level, let alone in mk9 liu kang beat her and he was just playing with her compared to kahn were liu kang was mad and bloodlusted on him, dont use that bad writing moment as legit reason ever again

This is a double win for X-Men lovers and LOK haters lmao
Built on the boredom of the masses though
And when it comes to debate, looks like Korra vs Rey is more debatable among vs debaters. Just the poll says otherwise.

Who ******* Knows i literally mentioned why do Korra at all this season
Korra vs Storm was a popular MU back in the mid 2010s given it even made it as a CDB but really ain't fealling it
- 14,021
- 14,201
If thats the crossover feat you compare it to, its irrelevant and not canon to the main games, therefore he aint beating anything
Character Analysis: Akuma(Feat AkumaTh)

If DB wants to be random and throw curveball matchups:
Fire God Liu Kang vs Kang the Conqueror
Fire God Liu Kang vs Kang the Conqueror
- 22,752
- 49,459
Bruh @BlackDarkness679 has criticized DB for whatever stupid ass shit they done
- 6,571
- 8,931
So I'm watching Akuma vs Shao Kahn on Youtube and to any SF fans, where are they getting these feats from? Outside the island stuff from the Alpha series, this stuff either looks to come from non canon stuff or the gameplay result of moves
- 6,901
- 4,320
DB did their best to make it so Akuma doesn't outright get stomped.

What? That's it? Sheesh, and compared to Shao Kahn's realm merging stuff Akuma is pitifully outmatched
- 3,948
- 5,758
The best akuma gets is island level shit. They wank the E Honda feat to levels never calc before and used the the outlier Mike haggar feat as well( both feats are outliers). And they tried to justify that stupid ass meteor feat made me lose all hope in their research for SF
- 6,571
- 8,931
I just got done watching Akuma vs Kahn and I gotta be honest, this may be one of the worst fights in recent memory.
The research for Akuma was ass, the voice acting was passable but not exceptional and sweet Jesus that final blow was so underwhelming that I could've sworn that they got it from Mortal Kombat vs DC

I mean.. VS is subjective. Only this site from what I know views those feats as outliers. Other places, including the RT have slightly less strict standards
- 14,021
- 14,201
For your info i do it for good reasons, its overrated af by people especially given capcom likes to do crossovers or guests appearances with them which many take ror granted and use it as canon, asura wrath being an example and thats been seen even before the meteor from the crossover
Also cuz DB with Ryu vs Jin had made it worse with SF getting high on their horse, along hurting a series that took them 3 years to fix some mistakes of theirs, let alone the idea of how they composite SF which makes people take it for granted
So yes i bitch about them on SF cuz of misinformation and feeding with a spoon to those believing shit like this, imagine how bad dragon ball, especially with goku had their reputation overall in vs community and how supes besides the wank, made his character seem like he is just a mary sue with no reason to like cuz he is just OP and thats about it
Think before you say something

Looking over Storm’s powerset don’t her abilities outright hard counter Elemental Manipulation?
- Firebending: Douse any fire attacks by summoning a downpour (or a flash flood/tidal wave) or snuff them with wind.
- Waterbending: Storm can disperse water into humidity with a gesture or alternatively flash freeze water. If Korra attacks her with ice, Storm can manipulate humidity to make it hot as shit and melt her attacks (her Cold Resistance is also potent enough to resist Iceman’s cold). Storm is also able to manipulate earth and fire, allowing her to generate lava bursts.
- Airbending: Storm is capable of quelling raging winds.
- Earthbending: Storm’s own Earth Manipulation + the fact that she hangs out high in the air with her Flight 24/7 renders this a bit moot.
- 912

Yeah, because it wasn't like SF was getting the short end of the stick prior to Ryu vs Jin...
- 912
- 1,715
Korra is literally getting fried next time
- 6,571
- 8,931
Or in other words:
Storm resists or outright nullifies any of Korra's techniques whilst simultaneously having plenty of methods to take out Korra? If this was their alternative to literally any other Korra matchup then they really scrapped the bottom of the barrel

Because they screwed it up with Ryu vs Jin then realise what they have done when working on Heihachi Mishima vs Geese Howard. That they needed to justify how Ryu overpowers Jin such that the speed is not a matter of concern (they also upgraded the top tier speed of Street Fighter such that SF god tiers are way faster than bullet catching)
They more or less do justice on Mortal Kombat (even if they may have actually downplayed it). They just screw it up at the Street Fighter department. Like is Cammy White country something and Sonya Blade planet? And does Chun Li defeat Mai Shiranui now?
Poor Amon had so much trouble doing blood bending and even if Korra arguably scale above that, Storm once gets disfigured and just acts fast enough to stab at the transmutation user and asks him to revert her back to normal.

Yes lol this is just Miles vs Static all over again
- 22,752
- 49,459
Like I said why do Korra at all this season
- 3,948

Didn’t static counter everything Miles had?

If i was defending DB i wouldnt complain of them on research to characters i know, let alone this match research on Akuma is what pisses me badly among an older match with SF
Also given most of your replies here, you aint worth much either, let alone you never were around here before as gar as i recall, so literally, who are you?

Early DB wasnt the best with their stuff, also as much as lowballed SF aint good either, its not as worse as the wank and all that came out after that fight happened, let alone how vs community viewed the series a little before that
