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

[Loh67867]

Please god

Elaborate Vegeta v Nostalgia Critic to me so I can join the bandwagon.

Ok

Two perpetually aggressive people with absolutely titanic egos known for their intense rivalry with the more successful and beloved of their kind (Goku and The Angry Video Game Nerd). They get massive power boosts the angrier they get, achieving new forms never before seen (Super Saiyan Blue Evolution and whatever that Giant Nostalgia Critic was in the Ninja Turtles Christmas Video), but also get more powerful when they love something (Vegeta's "My Bulma" scene against Beerus and all the times the Critic got buffs from loving christmas). They will do anything to get one up over their rival, and will constantly call them out for no good reason. They are willing to and have in the past murdered their own co-workers (Nappa and... well take your pick for Doug) and are generally considered awful people in-universe. They have both had moments where they have become possessed by evil satanic powers (Majin Vegeta and The Critic when Satan possessed him) but were beaten down and able to overcome it. They also have befriended divine beings (Whis/Beerus and Santa Christ/The Devil). Also, both have blown up planets on a whim without a care in the world.

I'm more harsh for ideas in general, because DBs are limited, they have to be really good.

EDIT: Also Critic is for the Nerd.

My opinion: dungeons and dragon will never be on death battle.

2: Fate is unlikely to have a death battle because the casuals won't even know the lore of it. *It just doesn't get enough views.

I respectfully disagree.
1. Dungeons and Dragons will be on Death Battle some day because:
A) It is well-known in the West at least
B) It is classic within the table role-playing game. They need one or more representations and D&D is not even the hardest to represent (reason below)
C) It has animations, TV shows and movies so the audience is somehow knowledgeable about the title.
D) Also we have feats and footages.

2. Fate is likely to have a Death Battle because the audience is so huge and at least Fate has a definitive copyright owner. Screw the lore of it we can at least work on Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero.

If indie games can get into a Death Battle, those global big franchises are just underrepresented or even overdue.

If fan fiction and collaborative writing fiction can be argued to have a seat or two in Death Battle, those big names definitely should have more.

Thor-fans are ******* obnoxious.

It's worse in the Discord servers

 

[Tipper17]

Vegeta is kind of basic, so themes dont need to be super big. It does need to vibe well, which Shadow and Thor does, but I'm not feeling Dedede vs Vegeta.

Yeah that's the thing
Dedede is more of a shit post MU than anything
The other two fit like a glove

I can't take japanese take in heights seriously

 

[Seventy96]

Only few months

 

[TMaakkonen]

I want the timeline where we get kneeling Thors.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

For nearly 2 meters tall, Thor doesnt tower that much over somebody like Vegeta and i seen a size difference irl by peeps of these sizes

Vegeta's hair gives him like extra 20 cm lmao

I'd die happy if Fallout Equestria got in

 

[Mariogoods]

For DC VS Non-Marvel, I think the reason why DC characters win is because there are many non-Marvel characters which are not picked. Su Huan-Jen stomps Batman w/ Hellbat.

For indie games, Death Battle have Shovel Knight before. And Undertale, Deltarune, Touhou Project and more are saying hello.

For fan fiction, we should ignore many sans first. Then, the indie games I mentioned above have too many fan fictions. Maybe FC/OC Wiki needs assistance from VS Battles Wiki to better do CRT since outdated profiles have been a problem in said wiki.

 

[Dust_Collector]

It ***** me up that Vegeta is shorter than Luigi

 

[JohnConquest1]

Bias aside I do feel Fallout Equestria would place really high on fanfic choices, given how it's had it's own video games, music, and physical prints either released or still in active development.

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

Tails gets trolled for Death battle?

[Peter_"Quicksilver"_Maximoff]

I can see a sonic character coming this season. A Tails comeback or Silver debut maybe?

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Vegeta's hair gives him like extra 20 cm lmao

Even with that it still should be a bigger difference, the rendered images dont give an accurate 1:1 comparison

 

[RiloKileyFan]

We're gonna get Beast vs Goliath 2 before Touhou, Fate, or any of that will ever show up.

Also Vegeta vs Thor is such a bore. I hope it's not the mid season finale.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Tbf, many profiles there are dependent on the user who created their character and verses, as thats their work

Didnt do much on mines for a long time now

 

[Tipper17]

Tails has nobody for a runback let alone interest to see him back on
Knuckles as well unless it's Archie
Silver somewhat but that's assuming they don't have Omni man fight Bardock
Eggman vs Bowser seems like this biggest one to happen

We're gonna get Beast vs Goliath 2 before Touhou, Fate, or any of that will ever show up.

I wouldn't say that Touhou and Fate has a decent shot

Vegeta vs Thor has mid season feel to it

Yeah that MU is going be the Mid season finale

Yeah, it wasnt super accurate.

Dunno if this is, but I saw this at google:

Just replace it with Thor and Geets lol

Personally, I'd prefer SMG4...

There really isn't much a community for a fanfic verse, or one that sticks anyways.

If everybody had more time and dedication it could have been something i assume, but yah most of us got like studies or jobs, soooo

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

Kinda based

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Seems like in fiction its not a huge difference like irl, but whatever

Dear modern Comic Book writers,

You are not Anime. You do not need to give all of your characters new forms that make zero sense for them to have. Especially when the source of their power is so far above their normal power it's stupid, yet they end up fighting the same things as before, yet people still claim they're as strong as that source.

Sincerely, Versus Debaters who were already sick of your shit.

Wait a minute. Manga is Japanese comics. Anime is based on manga. The MCU is based on Western comics...

Is the MCU a Western anime?

Anime means animation, the closest to Marvel anime would be X-Men the animated series and other cartoons based on Marvel's comics
Or... You know, actual Marvel anime

Japan have live action for their mangas and such too, not as many as west, but they do, so no

As said above the cartoons/animated series of some shows are the equivalent of anime

 

[TMaakkonen]

Yeah, its just MCU What If thats anime :^)

Honestly ignorance of consistency is just as big issue.

High-end Bill arguments
