I sort of looked forward towards Master Chief vs Doom Slayer and Samus Aran vs Mega Man X. More so after the seeming success of Fettator.

Samus: Boba Fett, wanna a rematch?
Boba Fett: Tell my children that I love them.

Also, Master Chief vs Doom Slayer will have the result changed according to new analysis method and new feats.

Tari VS Miko Kubota
For Tari, they could get the actual VA, Celeste Notley-Smith to reprise her role. For Miko, Monica Ray would be neat to reprise her role as well but I fear legal issues would prevent that so Kira Buckland would be my 2nd best choice.

We have a incomplete profile for Meta-Runner Tari, but we don't have a profile for Miko.

I do wonder if sponsors actively look at who they think their character can beat when requesting for DB.

Supposedly they mentioned while back that they have denied quite a bit sponsor fights. I wish we'd know what was denied.

At the panel they have rejected various sponsorship due to wanting full creative control of the episodes which cause

Well the crew did claim they would not "let the sponsor mess up with their research" or let the sponsor interfere with the verdict of the research (which means that if (say) the research crew decided that Hunter Zolomon would narrowly destroy Homura Akemi, Shaft could not pay to ask the crew to twist their research work). In their words they would not let the sponsor rig the matchup and the episode.

But the crew technically could pre-determine matchups that are popular yet could make a sponsor happy (say if they wanted to give away Homura Akemi a win they could first determine how many opponents that Homura Akemi could rolstomp (say Sakuya, Kurumi, ... Basically anyone not too close in strength like I-No or Hunter Zolomon), then have a script and tell Shaft to sponsor them because that could promote PMMM and make fans happy). I.e. They could make an episode that would somehow "just hopefully make the sponsor willing to sponsor".
 
Off topic but I've always disliked Reimu vs Madoka because it assumes Reimu is a magical girl, even though she isn't.

But you know which Touhou character IS a magical girl?

Flandre, apparently. flan vs madoka when
unknown.png
 
You know, after like 8 and a half seasons, you'd think they would have done at least one Fate or Touhou matchup, but nothing. I honestly think they've been silently taken off the table.

And besides, how else would they make room for the 9000 Marvel vs DC episodes?

I believe they mentioned doing Saber vs Erza at some point? So Fate is definitely still on the table, if not ouright confirmed (should've been Doom vs Gil but I'm not complaining). Touhou is too, Swan has unfortunately shown interest in Hit vs Sakuya, and it'd be kinda hard to overlook the massive success of Dio vs Sakuya. Plus, Touhou has always had a significant presence in internet culture.
 
If we count bonus ep and next time after that truly is BondWick (was this a spoiler?), then that means 4 eps in row without comics duo. Last time that happened was about 3 years ago in S6. Otherwise comics duo has been used at least within every 4th ep. Its a lot.

EDIT: Oops, meant 4th, as S8 had 3 non comics eps in row.

Tbf Touhou and Fate are complicated n shit
But as far we know Erza vs Saber has interest from them

Hit vs Sakuya has swan interest last year

And Ben stated recently verses like them are not off the table

Tbh I'm kinda glad they'll be doing Touhou this late, when their research is way better than it was even just a few years ago. I'd hate to see what Touhou would look like under early DB research.

Suika did not actually lift the whole 60 ton black hole off the ground

Tbh, I wish there were matchups they had done back when they had Torrian doing 3D episodes, we definitely missed our chance for some bangers.

A black-white thief, a doll-like girl who uses dolls and a purple girl who always stays inside a library?

Verses like Touhou and Fate have many things to dig and I feel that Death Battle Team will manage to do their best to cover the subject.

Sakura VS HI Dio is interesting and they have similar color. Wryyyyyyyyy

Not Saber vs Ky

Weak

Saber vs Ky is cool too but i find this one more interesting due to the contrast they have between their personalities and also because this actually seems pretty close, Ky just gets obliterated by Saber but Sol is around the same level with her, meaning that both of them don't instantly die

How Is Sol around the same level

Cole vs Alex should've been a Torrian episode, but now I'm not sure if it'll ever happen. Could be one of the teased 3D MUs this season though, who knows.
Click to expand...
Well Torrian is just too talented and too perfectionist. His works are masterpieces but that also means Hollywood would headhunt him sooner or later - oh Respawn already hired him away some years ago.

This already makes 3 candidates.
And there are some Buddhist lady, some Taoist lady, some ladies practising some other forms of magic...
While Reimu Hakurei vs Madoka Kaname may be too much a stretch to some (even though her spiritual powers are just some eastern forms of magic), she vs Sailor Mars or even Sakura Kinomoto can be matching and interesting.

Mariogoods said:
They are magical. They are girls. That's it.

Marisa has Lina Inverse.
Alice has Carl Clover.
Pachi has Yue Ayase.

I am sure Charlotte Aulin can be obscure to some but she is a potential candidate for Pachi.

Sure.
In fact a lot of matchups can easily be spawned from there.

Oh Sol is low 1-C with Adam Seed while Artoria is low 1-C to 1-C.

In fact Sol Badguy defeats Ragna the Bloodedge in Death Battle acknowledged terms (for the wrong reason tho) like Sol is 5-A but Ragna is only Low 6-B
 
BlackDarkness679 said:
Isnt Ky like his equal regardless? They are rivals and a lot of times characters like these are scaling to each other or are relative in power
Click to expand...
Sol Badguy is "5-A, higher without his limiter and with Dragon Install, Low 1-C with Adam's Seed"
Ky Kiske is "5-A, higher with Dragon Install"
Saber (Fate/stay night) is "6-C, Low 6-B with Excalibur" (as Kiritsugu's Servant, Shirou's Servant or Rin's Servant) and "Low 1-C, possibly 1-C" (as Ruler (Extella))
 
How we feeling about Metal Face vs Starscream? I've been playing through the first game, and holy damn, everything about this guy reminds me of Starscream. Though I have a feeling animating a dogfight between two giant flying robots would probably obliterate the budget.

I do think it would be a great first rep for Xenoblade, it dips into some spoiler territory but doesn't have to reveal anything truly big, and it could give them an idea of how to scale Xenoblade.

Plus, Starscream deserves a runback after that horsecrap he was put through.

Too bad this is "fine" only. Good enough to get "trending" again tho.

Last time we have an airplane dogfight... We have X-Wing vs Arwing. Mediocre at best.

Ok, I went and checked out what you were talking about and wow, yeah, underwhelming is kind of a generous term. I wasn't even aware someone lost until the voting thing came up.

Now granted, it's been two years, so maybe they've gotten better at portraying a dogfight. But if Metal Face vs Starscream is gonna have that level of quality, then I'm pretty ok with them not doing it until they've proven they can pull it off well.
