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.

As your resident Xeno JRPG expert, I can assure you that, while MF itself has MUs, you'll have to take into account Mumkhar (or is it 'Munkhar'? I can never spell that bloody name...) as either his own, stand-alone contender for VS, or as a part of this MU as it stands. While I'm not one for Transformers myself (it's one of those series where I wouldn't know where to start), from what little I do understand, Starscream doesn't really have a pilot in the same way that Mumkhar pilots MF.

The second thing you have to keep in mind is that Mumkhar is by all rights a minor character, and is more of a contributing factor to Dunban's character arc (Mumkhar falling just before the Fallen Arm / Apocrypha arc). For this reason, he'd probably fall under DBX MUs, more than an actual, fully-fledged DBa episode.

Now, for the attentive among you, you may have noticed that on my Xeno JRPG MU charts, I put Tyrian Callows as Munkhar's MU of choice. And while I do think that a base-to-base fight has good relations (Traitorous psychos that left specific hometowns to ruin, in incidents that left veteran character with crippling injuries, and do the bidding of end-game, incident-scarred villains), it is primarily a placeholder due to the nature of Mumkhar's character, and (depending on how much you buy MF 5-B scaling) the stat gap in question.

Still, some food for thought.

Where can I see your Xenoblade charts? I’ve got a friend who is a huge Xenoblade fan, and I wanna hear some of his opinions on these MUs.

Yeah, I can see why Starscream vs MF doesn’t really work as a full DB. A DBX would be cool though, I kinda just want to watch the giant flying robots fight each other.

I can give this thread special access to the latest WIP version I have, I suppose:

Xeno_Matchups_Remake_-_Version_0.9.3.3.2.1_WIP.png


The main updates since last time are:

- XC3 MUs primed for its release, awaiting logistics of 7th party member(s). Noah also has Balder (Bayonetta) as one of, if not his main MU (as noted in my Custom Death Battle Taglines thread.)

- Various LoD MUs have been added, considering I beat the game last night (Ethel vs Rose, Sena vs Meru, and Albert being an HM for Dunban being the stand-out examples). EDIT: Nearly forgot Torna Jin vs Lloyd the Wingly... that one SLAPS.

- Captain Padraig vs The Gatekeeper being added as a gag MU I didn't even know I wanted until today.

- Kino and Nene (XCFC) being added to the chart with various minor MUs (suggestions appreciated)

...Until next time.

I’d kill for a 3D animated Sora vs Shulk. Especially because there’s a real possibility that they could get Shulk’s actual VA to voice him. The VA is really passionate about Xenoblade.

But is Adam Howden passionate about Death Battle and VS formats? Or is he too busy shilling Labour momentum activists, whilst being horny on main?

Umm maybe? I mean, they got Zuko and Ichigo’s VAs to reprise their roles, and I don’t see either of those two as particular versus fans. Probably just thought it’d be cool to have a chance to do the roles again in a semi-professional setting. Also can’t really speak for what Howden says on Twitter. It seemed pretty normal when I checked his recent.
 
BondWick is sprites, pretty sure that was mentioned.

Also, Warframe seemingly just wanted Excalibur or someone, it was DB team that suggested Excalibur vs Raiden.
