Death Battle Season Eight Discussion Thread (2) (All-time Death Battle Spoilers Alert)

[Emirp sumitpo]

Surely Galactus vs Unicron for this season finale? I swear that's been "around the corner" for years now

Like that'll ever come.

I get the feeling they might postpone till next year because of the new Transformers movie in 2023. That and I get the feeling they're dreading doing it.

 

[Quantu]

Yeah that's a good point, hit when the stocks are high.

If they can do GvS 2, MvS 2, and have Batman get beat over and over again for the lols, I'm sure they can can do this

 

[TMaakkonen]

Next year is 10th season too.

 

[Tipper17]

Number of people who unironically believe, that Simon vs Kyle Rayner is gonna be a finale of season 9 is astonishing. Simon is decently known characer and Kyle is literal who character. Season finale always cointants very well known characters, that will give many views.
If Death Battle somehow makes this mu a finale, this would the worst finale in terms of views and overall hype. someone gets it

Simon vs Kyle is not really a MU I see happening this season let alone a finale

Like that'll ever come.

The issue for Galactus vs Unicron is the budget

Not to mention we don't whether they gotten new capable 3D animators

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

You know how some reviewers loved Saitama vs Popeye's ending? How Saitama is depressed and they actually tried to animate Saitama finally having happy emotions? In theory, that is a powerful emotional good idea.

In practice I feel jack shit because they immediately ******* RYONA him and have him scream in pain. Because ofc the man who killed Ben 10 brutally would do that to have vengeance on the guy casuals voted can beat Superman. Ofc he would voice Popeye and sing a goofy song to ruin the emotional moment. Ofc he would be giddy to feed Saitama before his series is even over. Yes, he would likely still be ****** but its pathetic how Ruby vs Maka is still delayed despite that being a done deal. And I dont care how that reason is technically due to outside things related to Swan, it still paints DB overall in worse light.

If that's true then Simon vs Kyle is probably gonna get messy

 

[TMaakkonen]

Past wont determine the future. I still wouldnt guarantee Simon's win tho lol

 

[Jasonsith]

I think that was a false rumour.

Togashi might just let it die tbh

It is more like a running joke because Togashi is infamous for having a long hiatus before making a good progress on Hunter X Hunter.

 

[Quantu]

Could've sworn it was a serious rumour lol. Shame, at least HxH would've continued

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

Shueisha and Kodansha are the 2 big Japanese manga companies.

Expect many well known Japanese manga series under their names.


Well we'll see if anyone would actually announce a matchup Wednesday SGT morning.

Spoiler: Season 9 Première

Put the matchup in a spoiler tab and I shall make a new thread within the next 24 hours.

does shueisha and kodansha own the magazine and stuff

that has konosuba and the slime manga thing or is Yen press their company (if yen press is their company is that how i find which company owns which series by looking at it on wikipedia and stuff)

The issue for Galactus vs Unicron is the budget

The issue for Galactus vs Unicron is fact, that they are aren't super popular among casual audience, and their mu won't give Death Battle proper views. But, upcoming Transformers movie will change that.
Same thing with Thanos vs Darkseid before Infinity War.
That's why Cole vs Alex didn't happened yet - despite being heavily requested match-up, nobody except of nerds cares about them.

I say Cole vs Alex would've done good numbers around S2-S4 era of DB but DB questionable choices cost the MU chances over the years to do very well

 

[TMaakkonen]

Its really the budget to show a cosmic battle with many battles.

I know MCU changed the perception of popularity, but Galactus is still a big thing, he was in Fortnite after all :^)

Well if we want crackpot theorize, the fact that last inhouse 3D was Blake vs Mikasa and we know that some of the team were fired, it really seems DB got hit hard, which meant no Galactus vs Unicron. I would almost say that Saitama vs Popeye might have been chosen to accommodate these problems. We might just not get inhouse 3D for a while too. Maybe thats why even bigger wait now.

What DID happen to the inhouse team?

 

[TMaakkonen]

What happened to Roosterteeth is the question.

They treated other animators bad is really short of it

As far as we know, 2D DB team is better, but they shared animators with RT. Like how Hulk vs Broly had RWBY animators on it.

 

[Jasonsith]

Useless, useless, useless... MUDA!

Rooster Teeth does not make good profits and the management team needs to cut costs. Then they heard that the 3D animation of Blake Belladonna vs Mikasa Ackerman is mediocre at best and some people have to be "accountable"...

They did not treat the behind the scenes staff well eh.

To be honest the OG RT animation staff do not get sufficient tasks so maybe a little man hour borrowing from them is more efficient than maintaining a big 3D team specific for Death Battle.

Oh definitely when u think about it the fact the fact the fact we were 2/4 in quality in regards of the 3D/Blender fights definitely shows how bad they were affected

Shit like this would put too much pressure on the Sprite and Blender team to compensate for the lack for the lack of in house team

 

[TMaakkonen]

Akuma vs Kahn was also probably last min addition, so it was rushed. If they had it planned from start, why do CDB 6 months earlier?

They already had fighting game ep in 1st half too.

Hang on, since DevilArtemis was on SFM team since S6, I thought they were free lancers. Were they actually officially part of the team? Does Blender team count as inhouse?

DA and crew do work with the crew
Also No that's why there the Blender team

 

[TMaakkonen]

In that case we might just get more Blender fights over inhouse 3D.

I **** with Galactus, don't know who Unicorn is but i do know he's from the transformers universe, which is dope, so it's a 7.5/10 on the hype scale for me. BTW the MU is confirmed to happen at some point.

 

[Peter_"Quicksilver"_Maximoff]

if you don't buy the shit dio, tanjiro wins, if you buy it jonathan wins... but i don't care about that mu, i prefer tanjiro vs hyakkimaru lol

Same, the fight potential is insane with that MU.

 

[Jasonsith]

Same, the fight potential is insane with that MU.

• Jonathan Joestar vs Tanjiro Kamado is sort of debatable
• Tanjiro Kamado wins over Hyakkimaru anyway you look at it
• Claims Tanjiro Kamado vs Hyakkimaru has better potential than Jonathan Joestar vs Tanjiro Kamado

Based

lumine vs the knight (female) is possibly my favorite genshi-related mu so far.

We always have

• Link vs Aether
• Amber vs Udonge or Cinderace
• "Raiden" battle royale

And hopefully more

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

You guys think we'd ever get a Eureka Seven character or battle?

Does anyone have a list of all the confirmed Brandon commissions?

[Livinmeme]

........ there is like 5 undertale MU tf

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

https://tiermaker.com/create/confirmed-brandon-tracks-v3-801120

All of those + Youmu vs Baiken, I know somebody over Discord who already commissioned it.

Also, didn't Jasonsith say he commissioned a few tracks? What were those, again?

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

There must be a lot of undertale fans in this fandom

 

[Jasonsith]

(I did apply. Likely stacked at the lower layers of the list so that he would need to clear the more requested ones on top first.)
Work I have applied

• Kirito (Post-Aincrad) vs Maple (BOFURI)

Works I would apply in the future

• Zoom (Hunter Zolomon) (Post-Crisis) vs Homura Akemi
• Walpurgisnacht vs Night of Wallachia
• Arceus vs Yggdrasil (Digimon)
• Hoopa vs Yukari Yakumo

Since he has closed his commissions for a while and he said his upper layers of requests are busy enough to keep him busy for a year I would only just wait until the chance of commissioning is open again. (... and the mould problems at his house are serious enough to keep him under-performing enough - his words. Quite an irony if he takes more commissioned works he would have more cash to spend to solve his mould problems, which in turn would increase his health and work efficiency which leads to creating more commissioned music...)

 

[The_Smashor]

I made some tier lists for Gunvolt characters. I'll post the rest as I make them.

Merak

The Big One: Sans (Undertale)

Bring it On!: Robbie Rotten (LazyTown). I also forgot to put him here, but if I had remembered this is where Linhardt from Fire Emblem Three Houses would be.

Let's Go!: Xigbar (Kingdom Hearts), Belphegor (Shin Megami Tensei)

Sure, Why Not: Komachi (Touhou), King (Seven Deadly Sins), Dexter Grif (Red vs Blue), Hilda (Fire Emblem), Demyx (Kingdom Hearts)

Hold On a Minute: Sloth (FMA 2003), Garfield (...)

I Don't Think So: Sloth (FMA Manga/Brotherhood), Sloth (The Binding of Issac)

I'm Out of Here: The Holy Grail (Persona 5)

Jota

The Big One: Sage Harpuia (Mega Man)

Bring it On!: Ira Gamagori (Kill la Kill), Mistral (Metal Gear), Hubert von Vestra (Fire Emblem)

[Tipper17]

 

[Jasonsith]

Jinx (League of Legends) will likely break the chain.
And Raidou Kuzunoha The XIV (Shin Megami Tensei), Yūki Terumi, Simon the Digger, Homura Akemi and any combat butler not Hayate Ayasaki... quite a handful of characters want to take the challenge.
