Cell vs Amazo sounds like it has extremely strong connections but probably wouldn’t be a lot of fun.

Not really, since alot of other Nintendo dark copies don't really have alot in common with each other aside from being dark copies of Nintendo characters
DS vs DB tho can stand on it's own, it has connections, animation potential and a GODLIKE music potential because of Dark Bowser's theme in BIS (Seriously, that has to be one of the best final boss themes).

Oh no, itd be kinda memey fight and practically just pseudo-Nintendo BR but it might be fun.

Dark Bowser had no official Art so he died sorry Loh :V
- 6,738
- 13,767
I'd rather use official art. While not all fan art, I dont like some fan arts used in TNs.
Which reminds me how Bomberman has fanart used in current DB TN lol
Technically Subarashi-man & NEW! Broly as well if counting everything but... yeah. Super doesn't as many fights as one would think.
- 3,794

I mean, Dark Bowser has some good fan-made renders that you can easily find
These ones are pretty cool for example
- 6,738
- 13,767
I mean NGL eyes on those, especially on top, aren't that good. Bottom one is passable I guess.

I mean that DB is a business comment exists in the same reality as a Popeye vs Saitama fight. I don't think Popeye fans are gonna jump on me for saying Popeye hasn't been relevant in decades.
Also completely unrelated to my above comment but another awesome fighting game fight would be Zangief (Street Fighter) vs King II (Tekken).

Doesnt King have better opponents to fight with?

I would almost bet money that Saitama was in Top 10 most requested new characters for DB.

Yeah but again was Popeye

Dunno who else would work.
Tiger Mask would probably be too stompish but then again so would Zangief thinking about it.
King II trading hands with Jack-7 probably puts him a good bit above other notable FG grapplers.
I sleep.

Even then... its Popeye.
Sure, maybe you dont know all of his details like I didnt but... its Popeye. He is nowhere near obscure in west.

"Deciphering Discord" was even my dream name of this track. I'm so happy. This is like Will of the Drill but for me.

Speaking of which, werent we supposed to get a Popeye movie?
- 6,738
- 13,767
Cancelled for Emoji movie.
Might get made going by newer rumors but the fact that happened is oof

Damn, biggest let down I've had today, rip Popeye movie

If we ever get Hit vs Sakuya (or just Sakuya in general), I hope Touhou Luna Nights is used. If not for research, then at least for Sakuya sprites.

I'm going to be frank and say I know friends who collect comics who were asking me who Popeye was. He really isn't too much in modern pop culture as much as Saitama or even Megatron. Aforementioned movie cancellation being a prime example of that. King features probably more laser focused on the Cuphead show they're working on rather than Popeye liscensing.

I mean it was one of his popular fight... though not his most by a long shot. Probably Saitama's biggest (that's not superman or goku) would probably have been Sans, as stupid as it may sound. Probably would have been a better match and gotten much higher views, but they didn't pick it.
If you want to talk about matches no one has every actually asked for Storm vs Korra also happened this season.
- 6,738
- 13,767
Fair I guess. I'd say say in 90s Popeye would have been more relevant, but that was still 22+ years ago, ****. This might be modern bias but Popeye is 93 years old.
Its Goku or Superman.

I think Omega from Mega Man may fit better than even Copy X as Cell's opponent.
And no **** Super Skrull and Amazo, we had enough DC and Marvel characters, even Dark Samus would be better at that point.

The last time Popeye wasn't stuck in syndication/direct to DVD/low budget YouTube hell most of the people posting in this thread likely weren't around (80s).
- 4,851
- 5,939
I specified not Goku or Superman for a reason. Yes they're his biggest match up, I know that, but the connections for those are terrible and it's only discussed because Superman and Goku are seen as strong not because they have connects. If you ignore all the fights that are just "Saitama vs [Strong Character]" funny skeleton man is probably at the top... or Hulk maybe but like he still kinda falls into that.
- 6,738
- 13,767
As much as I seem to "hate" comics, I cant lie that SS & Amazo are some of the better opponents for Cell, fatigue be damned.
So DB, surprise me ala Carnage vs Lucy and gives a weird pick pls
- 22,766
- 49,508
Popeye is a ******* icon
yeah he isn't relevant that much in the modern but its lets not act like he some literal who tier his videos on youtube has bigger views than majority of Saitama MU outside goku and superman
not to mention Saitama being popular as hell to be on the DB also helped it
- 6,738
- 13,767
You dont just "not count" those. Its like not counting Goku vs Superman or Mario vs Sonic. They are far more popular than other bad fights like Maul vs Carnage.
Which is great how we dodged a bullet lol
- 22,766

THIS
It's weird how folks will bitch about Capeshit MU yet will scream for more
- 4,851
- 5,939
But "Goku vs Superman" and "Mario vs Sonic" have connections, Superman/Goku Vs Saitama is just "Would this strong character beat other strong character?" which is the kind of match death battle should never do. It's matches that are more popular as arguments about characters abilities rather then a debate between the actual characters, it's a fight like Flash vs Accelerator, a match that has been discussed but not actually for the match but an excuse to argue about how character function.

I cant help it Cell fits best with comics characters. Might as well not use him then I guess lol
Realistically "business" DB is not going to touch a sub-sub Mega Man franchise that wasnt even shown in Smash, so I cant see Copy X happening.
Dark Samus is... not good but might be ok if we have to stretch it.
We already talked how some DBZ characters just dont have matches and Cell... well, kinda is that.
Besides the problem with comics is not only over-saturation, its that most fights chosen after S7 have been so-so on average. Theres plenty good comics MU but we get the not great ones. That, on top of high usage, is a problem.

Yeah, but Saitama vs Goku/Supes is waaaay too popular, even when they are trash. Probably the most popular trash suggestions.
