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

[Derpmaster9000]

No, that one is 100% sponsored and they said as such.

If they truly lied about sponsors this'd be far bigger deal. But as far as we know atm, OmniLander is not a true sponsor ep.

My sides will die from laughter if after making this statement on Twitter, Omni-Man vs Homelander ends up being an episode that says 'Sponsored by Amazon' at the beginning or end, lol.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Wouldnt be surprising, since they can be hypocrites at times, like research

 

[TMaakkonen]

Weeell, the actual quote is:

So there's a rumor RT forced us to make Omni-Man VS Homelander. It's false. Rooster Teeth has NEVER demanded we make any specific match-up a Death Battle. Neither has any sponsorship/partnership we've agreed to; in fact we've declined multiple sponsors for this very reason.

Technically accepting a sponsor isnt same as RT forcing it. Reading comprehension is hard :^)

 

[Thebrawlbro]

They legally have to say if they were sponsored. They can't lie about that.

Also, man some people are thick in the head if even them outright saying they wanted to do this episode isn't enough to convince them they weren't forced.

The problem is, most people weren't saying that RT was forcing this. They were going more the Amazon route, in which case, if this episode is sponsored by them, then yeah, that's a wrap.

 

[TMaakkonen]

Tbh there was both "RT forced DB to do this" and "its a sponsor ep" claims. Ben only addressed the former, which people absolute said even in this very thread.

Didn't say there wasn't people saying the former, I'm just saying I saw far more people arguing the latter.

I still say its a sponsored episode since they @'d both series twitter accounts in their post announcing the episode

Regardless if it's a shill episode or not, like Boomstick said "we gotta eat". Sides YT in general is already a platform that's long fallen from grace, you gotta take any worth while opportunity while it lasts (not including the ones that are too good to be true).

Still an one sided predictable stomp all the same but at least the production values are top notch.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Preview is good, but it better hold up the greatness from there

All that is fine, could've made it little less obvious though

[TMaakkonen]

Unironically couldnt you say VS Community is massively more popular thanks to DB? :V

 

[CharlesZaGreat]

Anyone else think Ben has kind of a cute face?

 

[TMaakkonen]

Dont make me bring my Bonk - pic again.

 

[Peter_"Quicksilver"_Maximoff]

lol DB is one of the reasons why

 

[BlackDarkness679]

lol DB is one of the reasons why

And with how they create wank and lowball or misinformation on a series

 

[Dust_Collector]

Stan Lee's video where he rants about people who constantly ask who'd win in a fight should've destroyed this mistake of a community, but unfortunately it didn't

 

[Thebrawlbro]

And with how they create wank and lowball or misinformation on a series

Nah that’s VBW

 

[Tipper17]

lol DB is one of the reasons why

Doesn't change the truth

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Nah that’s VBW

Death Battle does too, or we ignore the low and high stats they give certain characters

Everyone is guilty of it time to time

 

[Peter_"Quicksilver"_Maximoff]

I'm innocent

[Jasonsith]

Weird.

Death Battle Cast is still not out yet.

---

When this is out


Estelle Bright vs Lucina

 

[TUHTPeaSkull12]

let's not act innocent, we also do things like giving more benefit to a series, and to others we are completely strict and tend to reduce their feats from our point of view to make it "consistent".

there is no need to act like we are better or worse, this is mere subjectivity based on our tastes lol.

also to be fair, this place like many others gets filled with toxicity (and quite a lot) sometimes so i can understand the feeling of "the vs community was a mistake".

 

[RiloKileyFan]

VS was a mistake. Implementing VS on every IP in existence was the bigger mistake.

 

[Livinmeme]

VS was a mistake. Implementing VS on every IP in existence was the bigger mistake.

Suggverse avoided vs battles taking it actually seriouslly.... by being a totally vs focused series

 

[CardboardSlime]

Anyone else think Ben has kind of a cute face?

I thought his face is dumb.
If you know, you know, iz joke

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

Hey bros, what are the chances Pucci makes it on to death battle and he fights Hunter Zolomon?

 

[Jasonsith]

Hey bros, what are the chances Pucci makes it on to death battle and he fights Hunter Zolomon?

When Enrico Pucci comes to Death Battle, he will fight Kirei Kotomine.
When Domenico Pucci comes to Death Battle, he will fight Nami or Storm.
When Hunter Zolomon comes to Death Battle, he will fight Homura Akemi but even that chance is challenged by Homura Akemi vs I-No or Kurumi Tokisaki or Sakuya Izayoi or such.

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

When Hunter Zolomon comes to Death Battle, he will fight Homura Akemi

Alright now how would you react if Jason was right?

 

[Foxthefox1000]

I know we might be getting Predator but is there still a chance Jason VS Michael will happen this season? I ******* hope so cause both would also be new franchises

 

[Jasonsith]

Jason Voorhees vs Michael Myers? Nice Halloween episode. And one overdue. Can put this along with say Buffy Summers vs Blade or Simon Belmont.

Estelle Bright vs Lucina

I wonder how many calculation blogs or cosmology blogs are there for Legend of Heroes series.

From the currently existing calculation blogs so far we only know BOS Estelle is a shy 9-C and bullet blocking tier, mid-game Estelle can scratch hopefully tier 8 and post-Trails in the Sky Estelle may eventually share High 6-A to 5-C with Emma.

 

[The_Smashor]

I made a thumbnail for Dart Monkeys vs Pea Shooters. No list of connections or anything I'm just proud of this.

 

[TUHTPeaSkull12]

sometimes you don't need connections... sometimes you just want to make a cover for vs. because you want to.

Decided to replace Mogul vs Grodd with Mogul vs Vandal Savage in my Archie sonic MU chart, cuz it's way more themathic than Mogul vs Grodd
Both were ordinary beings that came in the prehistoric age (Mogul was a hunter in Mobius’s prehistoric age and Vandal was a cavemen in the prehistoric age of 50,000 BC). Sooner both were automatically were powered with magical energy that granted them tons of power and immortality (A Chaos Emerald all of a sudden managed to embedded in Mogul’s chest that granted him tons of power and immortality and Vandal was bathed into a radiation of a mysterious meteor which all of a sudden gave him tons of power and immortality). Their power would soon lead them to become rulers (Mogul used his new power to claim control of the surrounding tribes and Vandal used his power to become the leader of his new group of people called the Illuminati). Their immense power was short lived however (After the Ancient Walkers caught Mogul being mad in power, they cursed his Chaos Emerald so that his plans always failed and once Vandal tried to use a device to try to pull an asteroid into earth, the Flash reversed the device which lead the asteroid to fall back on Earth with Savage having his power decreased and having his immortality drained). They would soon become imprisoned/sealed away but later on managed to escape (After being sealed into the Master Emerald, he would manage to hex Mina and once Eggman shattered the Master Emerald to feed Chaos, he would eventually escape and After being imprisoned on Hell Planet of Salvation Run, he managed to find the mechanical workings of the planet and once an attack lead by Parademons occured,Savage along with the other prisoners escape back to Earth)

I mean Dart Monkey & Pea Shooters are from puzzle games where you place "turrets" so they kinda do vibe in a way?
