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

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

They'll probably aim for something like how they did Omnilander.

Ehhhhh... A little difficult due to how Warframe's story is presented VERY differently from Invincible or The Boys. You either ignore all the (spoilers obviously) stuff related to operators, the Zariman Ten-Zero, the Sentients, and like half the lore related to the Orokin by extension, or you just go '**** it' and spoil everything.

Like, a lot of VS related stuff is gated behind those spoilers. It's not like Omnilander where they still have their powersets with or without spoilers attached. The existence of operators alone is a HUGE thing that, in a VS scenario, is kinda hard to overlook.

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

Was the Predator based for this?

 

[Kirbonic_Pikmin]

Was the Predator based for this?

A little bit (?)

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

I like the preview, thought it looks a bit janky

 

[SomaKing13]

Was the Predator based for this?

honestly, as much as that movie was a shitshow, it had some great ideas, i just wish it didn't make it so the main civilization of yautja were engineering new stronger Yautja, as that was the WHOLE POINT of why the Yautja from Predators were exiled in the first place (they were considered "weak" so they resorted to stealing genetics from other species they hunted to become stronger, which was considered a huge afront to their culture)

which is also a reason why i dislike the episode just being vague and using "predator" because they are a whole vast group of people instead of generic faceless grunts ala Elites or Stormtroopers

 

[SomaKing13]

Holy moly, that's a lot of gadgets! Predator could give Batman a run for his money on gadgetry and prep. I can sorta see why some people think Predator is gonna win.

Yeah they are generally kitted out to the nines, and why they are also crazy good at prep time....which is why one of the best crossover comics of all time is Batman vs Predator, holy hell what a good comic

...and also why the best Arkham game of all time is Predator Concrete Jungle

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

So warframe is a lock in, any other predictions for opponents or series?

Probably characters from Destiny.

 

[Jasonsith]

Spoiler

Boba is just a boring returnee IMO, Maul or Grievous would've generated more buzz.....it sucks if it flops. Another 3D fight that flops will be awful and discouraging for the blender team. Imagine another 3D fight getting mogged by the capeshit sprite fight that comes up next (cough cough LinkCloud 2 vs Batman vs Iron-Man)

So yeah, no DBX this year, Ben hasn't mentioned yet. Desk of DB will come back on July 18. Ben said Boba vs Predator is the mid-season finale...sorta...he did not elaborate on what meant by sorta. Guessing there will be a bonus episode with WarFrame or something.

I hope Boba vs Predator doesn't flop, I would like more movie reps and would like the 3D animators getting a good performing episode for once in these past 2 seasons, unless you want to count Popeye vs Saitama with the partial 3D segment.

The preview looks okay, I do like the use of the weapons and tech so far.

Should you put a spoiler tab on this? I assume these breaking news come from the recent Death Battle Cast which is up only on Saturday 1:00 am SGT.

So warframe is a lock in, any other predictions for opponents or series?

Excuse me but why is Warframe a lock in?

Spoiler

Is that specifically mentioned by whom in the Death Battle Cast to come at Season 10 or even 9?

 

[SomaKing13]

i think it's because recently i think during their con, they had DeathbattleXWarframe merch

Death Battle x Warframe was being advertised on RTX lanyards iirc.

Wonder if we'll get in game cosmetics related to DB?

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

Does Warframe have any MUs?

 

[The_Smashor]

I don't remember if I posted this before, but I thought of a pretty good Modern Fiction vs Mythology MU.

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd vs Cú Chulainn
(Fire Emblem vs Ulster Cycle)​

• Both are legendary heroes with divine origins (Dimitri is a descendant of Blaiddyd of the Ten Elites, giving him Nabatean blood. Meanwhile, Cú is both the incarnation and son the Irish god Lugh)​
• Both lived in countries split into multiple territories (Fódlan was split into the Adrestian Empire, Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and Leicester Alliance. Ireland is split into four provinces: Ulster, Munster, Connacht and Leinster)​
• Both wield legendary spears carved from the bones of supernatural beasts (Areadbhar coming from a Dragon and Gáe Bulg coming from a Sea Monster), which are known to be incredibly deadly (Areadbhar can utilize Atrocity to deal effective damage against any enemy while Gáe Bulg grows barbs within one's body when thrown like a Javelin)​
• Each became known by a nickname based on an animal (Dimitri was nicknamed The Boar Prince, while "Cú Chulainn" literally translates to "Culann's hound")​
• Both at one point met another warrior who they befriended (Edelgard and Ferdiad), but many years later would be forced to kill in a war​
• Both are known for sometimes giving into a form of madness during battle (Dimitri getting his nickname of "Boar" from this, and Cú doing so via "Warp-spasms")​
• Both of them are able to continue fighting even after having taken immense damage (Even after a massive battle, Dimitri was able to keep chasing fighting and after Edelgard until he eventually collapsed from exhaustion. Meanwhile, Cú famously was able to continue fighting against an army even when fatally wounded with a magic spear)​

I used a Fate render for Cú since he's the only one who has any renders that really fit Dimitri at all. Smite Cú dosn't have any renders that I can find and SMT Cú dosn't really mesh with Fire Emblem's art style that well. As far as I can tell, Fate Cú has enough differences from the mythological figure to be a worse matchup for Dimitri, so that's neat.

 

[TMaakkonen]

God damn Toriyama said stuff about DBS Superhero.

Spoiler

If Cell Max was completed he would have been stronger than Broly lmao

Also Orange Piccolo is on par with Goku now.

 

[The_Smashor]

"If he was completed"

As if that means anything at all

since he never was

Yeah, it means nothing for actual stats due to circumstances.

Its just fun Toriyama flatout said that.

I'd personally prefer Cu Chulainn vs Achilles, but to each their own, I suppose.

Question guys

if the Genshin impact traveler aka aether/lumine gets added to death battle

what are the possible matchups again?

Personally my number one choice for both: Female Knight vs Lumine, although the connections apply to any genre you choose for characters.

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Female Knight

From where?

 

[TUHTPeaSkull12]

From where?

Guardian tale

 

[Jasonsith]

See.

Question guys

Opponents for The Traveler (Genshin Impact) eh
0. Link


1. Knight (Guardian Tales)
2. Aloy
3. Captain (Granblue Fantasy)
4. Byleth Eisner
5. Aang(?)

I shall leave up to you pals to create a close connections table for the above

 

[TUHTPeaSkull12]

You forgot Aang lol

It feels good to know that Knight vs Traveler is now a thing.

 

[Jasonsith]

Yeah, it means nothing for actual stats due to circumstances.

Its just fun Toriyama flatout said that.

Or it just let Cell Max get a theoretical "will eventually become Broly tier"

too bad knight has SOL reaction speed

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

Huh

Knight (Guardian Tales)

The Knight is the main protagonist of Guardian Tales. When the kingdom of Kanterbury is attacked by mysterious Invaders, the Knight is separated from their captain after being directly struck by a missile. The Knight ended up being saved by a mysterious lady before their demise, making their way...

They removed the sol reaction speed

Technically you can argue that knight has light-speed reaction, but it's a bit risky.

But depending on how you take knight's lightning feat it can be MHS+ to High Hypersonic.

but based on speed and AP on our wiki shouldn’t the traveler stomp?

Well I would say yes, if you take vsbattle lumine's stats she should win, although currently the profile only goes up to world 13, world 14 has some good feats if you are looking to scale to something a knight.

 

[Tipper17]

The movie stated he was kinda
Just no mind control

They said world 15 would be out in a few months, I'll save this for when it comes out.

Goro Majima vs Undyne

You thought Erice Ustumi bullying Nick Fury was funny. We have Goro bullying Undyne this time.

 

[Joycap]

Probably Rei/Akari (Legends Arceus) at a glance

My favorite Undyne MU

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

 

[Jasonsith]

My favorite Undyne MU

Thank you for your appreciation.
In fact, while Goro Majima beating Undyne sounds chad yet weird (considering Goro Majima is a "Yakuza" verse character while Undyne lived in Undertale where Frisk and Characters and Flowey exist)...
It is still less stompy on paper compared to say Pearl vs Undyne.

---

I don't know how good or bad it is: how good and/or likely is Albert Wesker vs Muzan Kibutsuji? It frees Kazuya Mishima to fight against anyone "tier 6" or above, and gives Demon Slayer an interesting win. Also Demon Slayer representation means cash cow so yay.

 

[Tipper17]

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

So I see that they're using stuff from the Video Games, AvP Games included.

 

[Loh67867]

Still can't believe how quickly this MU has spread after i posted it on r/dbm
