Hey, you guys think if OPM ever hits uni Meltan or Zygarde would be a neat opponent for Black Sperm?

I just noticed that DBC is only 10 episodes away from 300. Wonder if they have anything planned (I don't watch DBC, so I don't know if they've done anything before)...

Pinhead (Hellraiser) vs Griffith (Berserk)
Just going to put this one right here, hopefully spread the word a bit. Cenobites vs Godhand would be sick as hell to see, and be possibly some of the most gruesome stuff in Death Battle history.

I think Alucard and Knuckles were more shock than fear. Dragonzord & Tommy Oliver was more of a panic as well.

I've heard some people say that apparently it was never confirmed to be the premiere, just that they were doing it this season, but I have no idea how valid the claims are.

Anyone else miss how they used to only reveal one character and we were just left wondering who their combatant was until it was actually revealed?

Not bad seen it before but again Griffith lack of a real fight makes it eh
Pinhead (Hellraiser) vs Griffith (Berserk)

Vegeta didnt show fear more of Pissed and Annoyance

I hope not, Saber has better matchups that make more sense.
Giving this MU a 59% Chance of happening this season

I see what you did there. I think.
Kinda? It does generate talk but lots of people were impatient. It's better off as a lineup trailer or mid-break reveal like Beerus and Batman.

You know what's worse?
Desk of Death Battle only generates ~34k clicks in the first day and ~180k clicks over 2 weeks.
Which is outperformed by many DBX and even Death Race episodes so it is not a good choice for keeping clicks.
Really should have done DBX instead for the sake of maintenance discussion.
Cost is another issue however so maybe DODB is there to save up costs from animators and after scene staff members.

I remember they tried pulling that shit for Hawkeye, before just immediately laughing and saying he was obviously fighting Green Arrow.
If I had to rank my preference for reveals,
No fighters revealed > Both fighters revealed > One fighter revealed.
I definitely prefer the mystery, but if I'm being told what it is, I'd prefer to know all of it.
- 23,031

I mean if ya bringing in a character like Saber ya need someone peeps know to carry the episode with her
The only characters that can do that are
Erza
Luke Skywalker
I argue but kinda being generous there
- 23,031
- 50,373
Nope
I don't mind them revealing combatants as long it's not too many of them and if there ones with many MU

Not really, no. I like to know what's coming up so I can get properly excited for it, it also makes the pre-release discussion of who would win more fun when you.... actually know who's gonna be fighting who.

It was probably a budget things. DoDBs probably take less to make than a DBX. They're mostly using research they already would have found during the research required for a regular Death Battle episode, and can just re-use stuff from past episode's research or even upcoming episode's research. The animation isn't super intense either so I doubt it costs a crazy amount.

Whose the writer?
- 1,311
- 3,606
I guess it comes down to whether you prefer discussion surrounding possible episodes, or discussions surrounding a certain MU. I’m a fan of both, so I’m happy regardless.
Call me a pessimist, but I’m not holding out much hope for crazy episodes when Chad “Macho Man vs Kool Aid Man” James is saying it.

Apparently someone named Josh, who from cursory research, is most likely Joshua Kazemi. He wrote Goro vs Machamp, Winter Soldier vs Red Hood, Red vs Blue, and Yoda vs King Mickey. That's a solid lineup of episodes, so I'm actually pretty excited for the next episode whatever it may be.
You can check this post for the comment.

Fair enough but point is there's probably probably a few curveballs were expecting

Archie, he has some reallly wacky stuff from crossovers, especially his scaling and he'd have hax from stuff like Riverdale mysteries which would give him a mountain of cursed and supernatural artifacts to use, it'd basically be the weirdest version of AP vs Hax

Likely the reason.
Who are the Archie and Lupin you are exactly talking about?
Chad "Macho Man vs Kool-Aid Man" James is not bringing the best matchup.
And so is Ben "Korra vs Storm" Singer.
But how do you feel towards Hershel Lousyton and Liam Swan? They whom terms like "Lousy Wank" and "Liam's Wank" spawn from?

Archie Andrews and Lupin the Third, who else would I be talking about?

Likely as "good" as Wamuu vs Akaza.
Or we can try Chiya (Urara Meirochu) vs Shaggy Rogers

Out of curiosity, I've seen Shaggy vs Luigi a bit, with composite shaggy is it fair?

I didn’t think of it before, but the Blue Beetle film coming out could give us a Blue Beetle episode in Season 10. Either Rex gets fed to him, or Geo Stelar returns for a 1 on 1 episode.

Unless we're low balling Luigi/using some low tier versions, no probably not.
