I agree especially since like 99 percent of versus is stomps if you want the characters to have any thematic connections at all, and like some of their best episodes are stomps

Honestly, I wish DB just went with stats equalized or something similar so most fights aren't decided by raw numbers, but ability interaction, fighting styles, and skills. I feel that would make for more interesting analyses.

Balrog vs TJ is one of my favorite episodes because the analysis felt more geared towards character discussion than numbers, and I wish we got more of that.

i feel thats due to how things be in the Vs debate over the years less how x or y fight just X can create big boom so there ya go

Not only is this lowkey a great matchup, but another potential L for Ben, and from a Yugioh character?

The salt would be hilarious

On paper this sounds great, until more OP haxxy characters show up.
Unfortunately, unless you have a good stat trinity, better hax will almost always win with stats equalized. Skill would become irrelevant.

Please man, Ben vs Hal hurt me enough. I lowkey can't even look at Hal anymore without feeling some resentment.

At least Jaden is a happy-go-lucky character. They couldn't possibly make the ending seem spiteful unless they did it as a callback to Ben V Hal.

For the record I like Ben as a character more, but YGO as a franchise more so I have nothing to lose here
 
Ben 10 fans be like checking if Alien X can defeat Beast Boy transformed into Superdog so as to determine if Ben 10 would actually die to Beast Boy.

Ben 10 vs Danny Phantom has been a DBX.


... Does Vilgax die to Ridley? Does Gwen Tennyson die to Atom Eve? Or does Kevin Levin die to Satsuki Kiryuin or Colossus?

I mean, Hal's supposed to be a noble hero, and he still brutally killed a ten-year old Ben.


Honestly though, I genuinely wouldn't mind a Ben 10 runback if they treated him with respect, cause I gotta be honest, that ending felt spiteful as hell. Doesn't help that Liam's apparently said before that he likes setting up OP characters everyone wanks to lose, meaning that Ben literally got set up, and that I'm salty about.
 
I dont mind stompiness, unless its the usual because thats boring, as petty as it still is lol

OmniLander is fine, because they have not done that kind of MU before, so its sth new to feature in DB. Say Barb vs Gwen is not because its the 3rd Bats vs Spidey ep which is zzz

But uhh yeah its not stompiness why KorraStorm failed. The match was Ray vs Korra, as toxic as its origin is, thats what people wanted. Kinda awkward Ben's legacy pick was a dud. At least he is right next to Chad in dud MU picks :V

Tiki Said Warframe company was chill with the crew

Sponsored episodes would be great if it means DB can put more budget into those episodes. It could also give DB a boost in views from the relevant fandom.

i wonder what companys were offering Sponsorships to DB before?
more importanly which company would be likely to offer DB sponsorships?

Think someone mentioned Raid potentially trying to sponsor them before, and I fully subscribe to the theory that there's a pile of unopened letters from Raid asking for a sponsorship deal sitting in the DB office.

Is this the part where I mention Hal is also a bit of a far-right-leaner (in some stories, at least)?
 
Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara said:
Hot take but I think the definition of stomp is way too broad in VS. Literally everything has the potential to be a stomp because everything is subjective. And ultimately, it's really ******* hard to find MUs that are thematically interesting, popular, AND fair in most if not all categories.

I wouldn't even consider it a COMPLETE BLOWOUT here either since like, Raiden still has a wincon or two. Excal just has more and is more likely to achieve them first.
