Shuuma vs. bill is not really bad, he just doesn't feel good about the existence of discord.
but cthulu vs shuuma is my real favorite for the latter, I feel his lovecraftian side would work perfectly.

Well... Just let Senju/Kurama take their following wins against DC if they can. After all if both can one shot each other... You may still argue Isley may win against Kurama for Kurama being slower (if you buy relativistic DC street characters in the first place), but Senju is the faster one even if giving rel speed to DC so yeah Isley has no chance winning against the 1st Hokage. Which will add one more victory against DC by a non-Marvel.
I wonder if they intentionally make commissioned mesh-up music like that, like the more "battle-themed" battle music will be made when the real battle is scheduled to be produced and aired.
Sometimes matchup choice is kind of tricky. One can inspire or ruin the other character when it comes to character alternatives.
You know Shuma-Gorath vs Bill Cipher is cool, but then we have Discord vs Bill Cipher and then we do not have good alternatives for that dragon pony.
Then Starro has Gargantos (that Marvel octopus thing at DSITMOM) and other characters aside from Shuma.

Then I kind of feel pity when I read the discrepancies among the ACGN fans. I mean, I have personal favorites and some are from verses not niche at all.
The main problem with too many niche MUs (I mean real niche verses and fan fiction and not verses who are actually popular worldwide but not in the radar of the research crew) is that people would just act like Shadow and say "hmm, who cares" and try to walk/drive away.

Alright, Smash Bracket released Ken vs Terry.
You need to watch this episode right ******* now.
I don't care if you hate this show. I don't care if you hate the other episodes of this show. I don't care if you're morally against this show. I probably have a lot of the same issues with it that you do. This episode is still worth watching all the way through despite that.

I’m not even done with the episode yet but wtf. “Stats must be directly shown to be comparable. Simply beating and opponent in a fight is not enough to scale.” Lol what? How is beating a guy not enough to scale to them?
- 15,707
- 11,450
It's a bit more complex than that. There's actually some genuine scaling in this very episode (Albeit barely)

So a character could beat someone with Moon level durability to death with their bare hands but cap at Wall level under Smash Bracket rules

Okay, now they're just ripping off Death Battle...
Also, how was Kirby abused this time?

Fights was was nice I give it
I feel the mixture of 2D/3D style switch wasn't all that great given the 3D part feels too amateurish
- 15,707
- 11,450
Not actually. You simply need to do noticeably more damage to them than that attack. I don't like it but it's better than nothing.
Yes, because Death Battle invented Ken vs Terry as a matchup, and nobody but them is allowed to do it.
- 15,707
- 11,450
At least the 3D part didn't overstay it's welcome. And personally, I'm impressed the hand drawn stuff wasn't shit.

woah ken vs terri DB only has 2.1 mil views and it's more than 5 years old...wtf.....don't ever have someone convince you say DB is dying....because even if in their peak they had under performing episodes.

Just by playing with direct feats onlydoes not mean research is bad but just really their own game
(that if very well executed)
Animation and story is nice. Totally fun to watch as a more search fight.
Well does it have to go with the surface area or volume rules? Like in real science how spider webs and silk are said to be super strong but still able to be torn apart by bare hands of normal humans?
I remember when some pals promote their favorite matchups. With different levels of success and failure. Even personal esteem or harm. (Look at the blazer ball dude on Jill Valentine vs Aya Brea and the Yoshi THE DBW admin on Noel Vermilion vs Aigis) I am neither.

Yeah lol idk whether it was a bit too short or KOF wasn't much popular like it is now

Episode was alright. I don’t really have any investment in these characters anyway. Not sold on their explanation of Terry beating gods means he wins, just seems a little too vague without telling me what those gods are capable of. Especially since they didn’t bring up Ken fighting people who can launch you to other planets like in the analysis.
- 15,599

They pulled a “X beats Gods?” Damn Kirby and Pit should solo the Bracket /s
- 15,707
- 11,450
Apparently, that was Ken's main durability calc.
As for the gods, that was maybe for casuals? idk.

I'm not asking you to like it. 70% of it is shit. But Ken vs Terry and Mewtwo vs Sephiroth are worth watching IMO. They're also some of the only ones that don't have that "How dare you believe in the common consensus you ******* idiot" tone of some other episodes.Smashor please stop trying to make me like SB.
Terry's almost as high as he is on-site, and I'm pretty sure Ken is even higher.

No offense but Death Battle does a better job by actually mentioning what the said god can do (like the Verse hurricane in Heihachi Mishima vs Geese Howard).

Terry beating gods is a wonky statement because he hasn't done that canonically. The only notable character he beat was Geese and Geese survived the fall from the building in the KoF continuity. Canonically, Team Japan take down Rugal and the Hakkeshu and Sacred Treasures take down weakened Orochi, Team K' takes down NESTS, Team Elisabeth takes down Those From the Past, Shun'ei takes down Verse and Shun'ei/Isla take down ReVerse and Otoma=Raga.
Terry is very featless in KoF lore honestly. Even Kukri should be stronger than him because SNK Heroines is canon where Kukri creates an alternate dimension and turns Terry into this.

They did include Terry beating Mars in the anime, IIRC.
I think the idea was more to portray that the things Terry has fought are ultimately more impressive than the things Ken has fought and was either phrased poorly or was an attempt to convince absolute casuals who know nothing about versus to try and pre-emptively prevent people from saying "Noooo Ken should have won because I know about Street Fighter and not KOF!" type stuff.

Idk how strong Poison Ivy is, but maybe Yuuka Kazami from Touhou? It's a stretch and probably a stomp but who knows.
- 6,904

Poison Ivy is base Batman tier and gets carried by plant summons, aphrodisiacs and poison. Any self-respecting Touhou character should smack her zero difficulty.

Just starting it out now and cmon man how is a show so ******* strict allowing the usage of the orbit feat dude
- 15,707

Most of Smash Bracket thus far has been before they refined their ruleset. Currently it's still strict, but not impossible to get scaling.

Hey dude, we all have that matchup we'll shill till the end
Sorry I couldn't resist. No hard feelings Jason

It was less about getting the scaling and more about how I thought that was widely considered to be a massive outlier feat within the franchise by most of the community, I remember DB got called out on it a bunch, and they've discounted other outlier stuff like the DK Moon punch before as well.

I'm the sole proponent of Fleetway Sonic vs Kasen Ibaraki and probably a couple other MUs like Takayuki Yagami v Wei Shen, Kirby vs Toutetsu Yuuma, and Kiryu Kazuma vs Shizuo Heiwajima.

Ken vs Terry DB actually had a serious disadvantage in views. It was re-released and original ep was deleted, which severely cut its views. Because Ken vs Terry wasnt a big match, it didnt have really big legs.

Same except Ninjago vs Tenkai Knights and Marie vs Weather Report
