Jonathan scaling to DIO because the latter is using the former's body would be a great case, if it wasn't due to the fact that it could be argued that the surplus strength might come from DIO's vampire head and powers.

Because it's cool and doesn't contradict the source material. Besides, it's not like DIO needed it to kill Alucard

I still think scaling DIO to Star Platinum is the dumbest shit.
"Could take hits from Star Platinum" my ass, dude was getting torn apart by his fists.

Well yeah but that’s the thing, he was taking the hits and not dying from them. He got ****** up sure but it still speaks to his durability.

The fact that DIO wasn't instantly turned into pink mist lends credence to the scaling however.

I think it speaks more to his immortality. Like the examples they used are bad and imply DIO would be comparable to Star Platinum, when they shot Star Platinum caving DIO's skull in.

I think they were mostly trying to say if DIO could take a hit from Star Platinum and not die it would be pretty hard for Alucard to damage him at all.

It is even more tragic since the "modern DB's streamlined, corporate approach to everything" is meant to bring in more views and profits, yet the "questionable" stances by Rooster Teeth (and Warner Bros and Hollywood in general) with and the tweaks of rundown format has led to reduced views and profits for the recent episodes.

For intros, it might be bit DCAU-y, but Joker stealing Sweet Tooth's ice cream and him being ******* pissed about it silently is good shit.

I was being technical because if we were to be accurate to source, we'd use Joker who is more accurate to comics.
But yeah it is obviously a good thing its DCAU-y lol

Jonathan wont say that, he is way too gentleman-ish for such language, only time he swears was when hitting his head and Araki censored it i think

It was more of the fact he didnt get killed and was durable enough to survive, especially when SP did a full on barrage on him before absorbing Joseph blood

Every masterpiece has a cheap copy:

That's not really a Durability feat, that's more of a Stamina feat if anything since he could barely move after that until he got Joseph's Blood.
- 12,608
- 12,577
It is durability, if he did that to any minor villain, they would be tomato paste, that aint stamina at all also
- 24,427

I think what bothers me is the phrasing, what they're saying goes against what they're showing feels wrong.

He literally had his Skull Caved in and he literally couldn't use his legs because of that. He doesn't scale to Star Platinum, especially the Pissed Off Jotaro Amped Star Platinum that caused said crippling to begin with. It's more so his Immortality keeping him alive.
XSOULOFCINDERX
They/Them- 19,397

Exactly.
- 12,608
- 12,577
Let him try that to any minor villain pal, their skull would be crushed to bits, immortality has nothing to do here, an immortal can still die from too much dmg done on them

Look, the point is DIO scaling to Star Platinum at all when he basically got stomped by it is just wrong, I don't care for what reason it was but he still had a fist going inside of his Skull causing him to lose function in his legs ergo Star Platinum exceeds his Durability no matter how you spin it. I honestly feel like it's more Plot Armor than anything else that let DIO survive that attack since his Healing Factor was hella nerfed at the time.
- 12,608
- 12,577
Or Dio was lucky to be a vampire which made him above normal humans, dont try to throw plot in here, cuz that can be turned back at Jotaro wgen he got caught in moments Dio would have killed him if he felt like it
- 12,608
- 12,577
Either way Death Battle had Dio comparable to him, so unless it changes in the future, that stays

Hey @Joycap you up for a challange? So recently, the director (at least I think that's what his role is) of Dark Deception (that one game that's basically "what if Pac-Man was a first-person horror") did a Q&A livestream on Youtube. One of the questions asked was "Which boss enemy would you want to see in Death Battle?" His first answer was Joy Kill:
Joy Kill
*evil laughing* I'M BACK!Haha, look at me! You're in b-b-b-big trouble now, squishy!Ha ha ho, I can eat way more ribs with this body!Joy Kill Joy Kill is the seventh boss enemy in Dark Deception, making their first appearance in Chapter 4 in the level "Mascot Mayhem". They're an amalgamation of...dark-deception-game.fandom.com
And his second answer (as he thought it would be funnier) was the Chef Monkeys:
Chef Monkeys
The Chef Monkeys are the first boss enemies in Dark Deception and Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals. Chef Monkeys appear to be slightly larger versions of the Murder Monkeys, sporting a blood-stained chef's coat and toque, a red neckerchief, and a large brown handlebar mustache above their...
Admittedly, since the game is still in development, I don't think anybody has taken the time to do calcs or anything (though I know one of the normal enemies is fast enough to keep up with an ambulance), but I figured I would try to see if you got any matchups of the Xeno-variety, since that's kinda your thing. Sorry if this is a bit sudden, though: I literally just got done watching said livestream, and when I saw that question, you were the first person to pop to mind (for some reason).
I'd just say 'look up Xenosaga's various Gnosis' and call it a day. Enemy mobs aren't really my thing

He will lose it mid-fight, but he will be fine. Meanwhile how good is Tanjiro without his blade?

Why are people saying DIO doesn't scale to Jotaro/Star Platinum? They literally matched each other blow for blow and DIO didn't immediately get pulverized. Besides, The World and Star Platinum were literally stated to be similar stands.
Saying they don't scale is literally the dumbest shit.

The stands scale, but it doubtful that Dio physically scales to his stand

People are saying DIO himself doesn't scale, everyone is fine with The World scaling but DIO himself being on that level without his stand is what people take issue with.
