Death Battle Season Nine Discussion Thread (1) (All-time Death Battle Spoilers Alert)

[Jasonsith]

So the femboy is here, any MU for Bridget besides another femboy?

Yet another yo-yo user beside Killua Zoldyck and MegaMan.EXE.

Bridget vs Astolfo or (not quite a fanboy but a medieval noble style boy) Venti is almost locked in.

I am so happy my main is back.

Watch the arcade mode have dialogue that scales Bridget to the top tiers somehow, thus winning him every matchup he has

[greymerlion2]

Kazuya vs Wesker is looking more and more likely.

 

[Loh67867]

Friendship ended with Hit; Dave Strider is now Sakuya Izayoi's best opponent.

Hit was never her best MU, lol

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Kazuya vs Wesker is looking more and more likely.

KOF15 announced new season and new game for another one of SNK series (fatal fury), so still hope Iori gets the chance and Swan still wants someone else besides Wesker, since he says its unfair

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Quick glance at twitter and this pops up

This has 'Sakurai can't post anything without people thinking it's related to Smash Bros' vibes, lmao. And I say that because I saw that tweet and my brain instantly went "Tekken confirmed for DB!??!?!"

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Kazuya is next clearly, the 3 generations gotta debut, depends how much they wish for other iconic characters to make it afterwards

And people still want genuinely Liquid Snake vs Albert Wesker and Iori Yagami vs Kazuya Mishima - one way to make one stompy and boring matchup into two relatively more interesting matchup (from a vs debater perspective).

Normies are likely indifferent and the first impression of "being good with Albert vs Kazuya" is likely not easy to be replaced (while Iori vs Kazuya is also good this left Albert behind).

Kazuya is next clearly, the 3 generations gotta debut, depends how much they wish for other iconic characters to make it afterwards

My personal bias say Penny vs Alisa, Kuma vs Bewear, Kao the Kangaroo vs Roger Sr and Kangaskhan vs Roger Jr are also good. Also Riptor vs Alex. Or Kazumi vs Ragyu.

 

[Tipper17]

Oh right, it’s a friend’s OC, not mine, I was just interested in a potential MU for them.

This should have a ton of lore for the character and his world in it. The one I’m talking about is the one with the blue gi, but I wouldn’t mind MUs for the others either.

Oh ya friends with this guy

 

[Tipper17]

Also Kazuya is definitely next
Jin and Heihaichi already got on so it makes sense for Big K to make his appearance

 

[greymerlion2]

Oh ya friends with this guy

Huh, small world.

My personal bias say Penny vs Alisa

Alisa can msybe get in, but not any soon

Kuma vs Bewear

Same as above

Kao the Kangaroo vs Roger Jr

Chances of Roger are low

and Kangaskhan vs Roger Jr

As above

are also good. Also Riptor vs Alex

As above

Or Kazumi vs Ragyu.

Nah, Kazumi has been in just 1 game and 1 fight, from a character she cant scale to the degree Kazuya and Jin do and doubt Death Battle is capable enough to figure and explain where she is at stat wise

Let alone what she has in common with that character

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Characters that have big chances at Death Battle from Tekken are: Paul, Bryan, Nina, Yoshimitsu, Steve, Ogre (especially after the Netflix anime), King, Raven

Those with a maybe: Kuma, Law, Jack, Alisa, Anna, Hwoarang

Others are not too big or as well known in the series to get much of a chance

You wanna do the most well known characters from it and with enough material for an episode, so yah

 

[Loh67867]

I've made a track art for Sakuya vs Dave, this is my first serious track art and I like how it came out

 

[TacticalNuke002]

The true queen of Street Fighter is back.

Possible opponents:

King of Fighters: Angel, Luong (Both Juri wins)
Mortal Kombat: Mileena (Mileena win if she gets scaling to Kitana or optional equipment like Shinnok's Amulet and Shao Kahn's hammer, otherwise Juri win via Feng Shui Engine)

 

[BlackDarkness679]

How is Mileena winning exactly?

Also i still prefer Jolyne as her opponent

Why is Zero so much higher than everyone else when the matchup is the same as the others (Just "swords lmao")?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Why is Zero so much higher than everyone else when the matchup is the same as the others (Just "swords lmao")?

Legacy

Also, edgy sword-wielding long time rivals of iconic power-copying video game protags

 

[BlackDarkness679]

And? Whats that suppose to prove?

 

[Loh67867]

Why is Zero so much higher than everyone else when the matchup is the same as the others (Just "swords lmao")?

It's much more than just swords, my man

 

[TheStriker]

Legacy
Also, edgy sword-wielding long time rivals of iconic power-copying video game protags

rivals

"a person who is competing for the same object or goal as another, or who tries to equal or outdo another; competitor.
a person or thing that is in a position to dispute another's preeminence or superiority:"
Even with the most generous definition of the term it doesn't apply to any game besides maybe X1. Zero isn't X's rival he's his best friend, they don't compete, they work together, all the time

edgy

Zero tries too hard sometimes but I wouldn't call him an edgelord, specially not in the X era

of iconic power-copying video game protags

If the protags are half the theme might as well do X VS Kirby at that point

It's much more than just swords, my man

Zero leads the Maverick Hunters

Where or when is this stated? Pretty sure the leader used to be Cain and then X or Signas

rival

see above

Both started off as enemies to X and Kirby

Whoever wrote this hasn't touched a single Mega Man game in his life, Zero has never been X's enemy, the first thing you see him do is save X

they are usually allies but sometimes they fight them

Zero is ALWAYS X's ally, the only times they fought were when Zero was under someone else's influence (Sigma & Zero virus). not even bothering with the rest

fought evil versions of themselves

Ok and?

former legendary heroes who were sealed away due to fear of their power

If you're talking about MMZ it was mostly as a punishment after losing the Elf Wars, if you're talking about MMX Zero sealed himself so they could make a cure for the Ligma virus

seen as equals to the protagonist

Too broad, doesn't matter

grow bat wings

Not canon

mentor the main character

I wouldn't call what Zero does in X1 mentoring, I'd call it being a decent friend, I'm pretty sure it's very different from what MK did with Kirby

Zero has a history of having nightmares

Happened like once

gave sword to mc

Doesn't matter

rivalry

Doesn't matter

The only real theme here is swords and the GK/Omega shit, again, what makes it so much better than their other matchups?

 

[Jasonsith]

And? Whats that suppose to prove?

That Mileena once wielded Shao Kahn's Hammer, possibly meaning Mileena is "at least planet level, possibly universe level".
Meaning Han Juri vs Mileena is possibly another Akuma vs Shao Kahn.

 

[CharlesZaGreat]

That Mileena once wielded Shao Kahn's Hammer, possibly meaning Mileena is "at least planet level, possibly universe level".
Meaning Han Juri vs Mileena is possibly another Akuma vs Shao Kahn.

You can just scale her off of Kitana (Since she's an exact clone of her sister) who was able to harm Shao Kahn...Even though I think that scaling is really ******* stupid

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

I am so happy my main is back.

Watch the arcade mode have dialogue that scales Bridget to the top tiers somehow, thus winning him every matchup he has

Bridget will be the strongest femboh who ever was, unless I'm forgetting someone

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Since when wielding Kahn hammer gives them a tier, this aint like thor hammer, also hammer isnt standard for her to begin with

 

[BlackDarkness679]

You can just scale her off of Kitana (Since she's an exact clone of her sister) who was able to harm Shao Kahn...Even though I think that scaling is really ******* stupid

Its pis, liu kang in mk9 literally was owning her and was just playing with her and smiling, yet she somehow could beat Shao Kahn, she is also the same kitana from mk9, we are given indication they are from before Kung Lao was gonna get neck snapped

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Bridget will be the strongest femboh who ever was, unless I'm forgetting someone

Bridget vs Astolfo vs Venti vs Felix Argyle

 

[TacticalNuke002]

She was nowhere at Reiko's level and oneshots him the moment she uses the hammer. The hammer buffs the wielder. The Krypt guy also gets empowered when he gets it in MK11.

 

[CharlesZaGreat]

Yeah, but its not like Mileena's constantly has Kahn's hammer

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

Characters that have big chances at Death Battle from Tekken are: Paul, Bryan, Nina, Yoshimitsu, Steve, Ogre (especially after the Netflix anime), King, Raven

Whos Yoshimitsu have?

 

[BlackDarkness679]

She was nowhere at Reiko's level and oneshots him the moment she uses the hammer. The hammer buffs the wielder. The Krypt guy also gets empowered when he gets it in MK11.

Krypt isnt canon according to the writer of the story atm

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Yeah, but its not like Mileena's constantly has Kahn's hammer

This too, in the games she never had it at her

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Whos Yoshimitsu have?

Not sure tbh, one i remember is him vs the Soul Calibur Yoshimitsu

Didnt they already talk about having her fight Mercury Black?

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Who is that?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Who is that?

Mercury Black

Mercury Black is an antagonist in RWBY. He is a former associate of Cinder Fall and the former partner of Emerald Sustrai. Mercury is shown to be rather carefree and jokes around when in the company of Emerald, who he makes an effort to annoy. However, when it comes to matters at hand, he...

[WeeklyBattles]

Apologies, they did Mercury vs Chun Li, though thematically Juri is better
