Oh Jocelyn has been promoted to IT Girl since MachoAid. What is she going to dish at the table at the cost of a possibly shortened DBX.

I mean, what else? DB doesnt show all feats. Even if there are flawed speed feats, what else could Exca be placed at?
 
I'm more wondeeing why they compared the meteor to the dinousaur ones, i mean sure it being gigantic probably would make it mountain sized but still, is there something i'm missing that allows that comparision?

Also when they mentioned armstrong punching lava up i remembered that calc for it that got country level lol

Warframe bros may be a stronger force for clout then we gave them credit for, lmao.

If nothing else, atleast their community can enjoy this episode, it's a way stronger debut episode than a lot of other fandoms got.

Also, Metal Gear stays winning with 3 fights atleast 9/10. Avatar fans are struggling for a single 8/10 out of 4 episodes.
Click to expand...
Yes, exactly. Warframe is promoting the episode to their base, which may have a lot of peeps who don't know Death Battle, so the channel may actually benefit from this episode more than we think. Any fans DB loses over this episode, will be replaced by new Warframe fans and the ongoing Omnilander success.

Agreed. A lot of new franchises don't have a strong debut in the series, so that's another W for Warframe.

and yeah Avatar fans need a big fat W and a good episode. too bad the next likely fight is Cinder vs Azula.....

look at people complaining about being a stomp, but if it had been genji, no one would have cared lol
Click to expand...
Exactly if it Genji or some other literal ******* no one would cared at all

The fight was solid at least 8.5/10


Even disregarding Warframe sponsor it wouldn't change the outcome

also i find it funny everybody (myself included) called Excalibur a literal who, but the guy scored 240K views on his preview, more than Raiden, and more than Thor, Tanjiro, Jinx, Harley, etc and a bunch of Season 8 characters.

True Excalibur definitely raised interest

Since we’re not getting teasers, anyone have any bets on what’s happening next season
Click to expand...
John Wick vs James Bond (Confirmed)

Mileena vs Juri (Need a fighting game match-up. This is highly requested and matches up with the Street Fighter game coming out soon)

Hit vs Sakuya (Second half's "what the ****" match-up, we've had Dragon Ball fights in both seasons halves before)

Fubuki vs Gardevoir (Keeping up the current tread of having a MidOne-Punch Man fight every season)

Black Adam vs Apocalypse (Team wants to do this, they haven't had capeshit in a while, so they must be going through withdrawal symptoms right now. ITS ABOUT DRIVE! ITS ABOUT POWER!)

Akame vs Killua (Requested, team might want to do a Hunter x Hunter fight but are probably holding off on Kars vs Meruem for next season and Gon vs Deku later on)

Naruto match-up (Throw a dart at the board and get one of hundred of them)

I can't believe they ****** over Raiden like that. He should've ******* One-Shot Excalibur right out the gate with his sword but they decided to be ******* idiots and forget how the HF Blades work. Why do I even bother anymore...?
Click to expand...
Exalted Blade should cut through HF Blade regardless but they didn't, so it's not great on either side.

People arguing he wouldn't use it from the start don't understand that his sword is the main part of his kit, all of his abilities are usable with Exalted Blade toggled and active.

Lightspeed reactions and combat speed are the minimum, Glaxion is a photon ray, Flux Rifles are lasers, Opticor is described as light, etc. All of these are blocked point blank.

in short, raiden was screwed in his only best aspect, and as far as I can see relativist warframe is the least you can give him.

Pretty sure they granted him Infinite Blade Mode given that the calculation they provided was for that.

Animation was a solid 8-9/10 to me, only issue is that the hosts interjecting messed with the pacing.

Rip for the High Frequency Blade nerf, Raiden probably can’t cut through Adamantium anymore by Modern DB logic. Then again the HFB and Misty Knight’s gimmick were never 1:1

anyway wolverine would surely win with actual research, via solar system level adamatium claws and scale to some marvel light speed shit.

The fight at the end is just for entertainment, if it wasn't Dio would've exploded Al within the first second of the fight. And no, Raiden doesn't one shot lol.

I mean there's literally a Relativistic Feat in Metal Gear that we don't use because it applies to Old Man Snake and Liquid Ocelot where RAY dodges REX's Light Speed Laser.
Click to expand...
a minimum as the speed of light, surely it is much higher if you really want to give the higher speed to both and even then excalibur would surely win in that aspect.
 
XSOULOFCINDERX said:
I don't understand why they didn't have Raiden use Quick Draw, it's literally shown to be faster than Blade Mode when Sam used it to Blitz Armstrong'd Hardening where as Raiden couldn't even do that with Blade Mode.
Click to expand...
Fights are honestly just for presentation, but I understand what you mean. Raiden could have been argued better, I just believe the outcome doesn't change when it requires additional caveats to make it fair for Raiden.

My problem with that feat is that we scale RAY's entire leap as distance moved when the laser had already traveled the gap and is burning into the wall behind it when RAY is out of the way, it's worth something but not nearly as impressive as it looks.

I know this because I looked into it after the match was announced, I remarked on it in another server even and someone else seemed to agree with the sentiment so it's not like I'm crazy.

EDIT: I do believe the laser to be a legitimate laser definitely though.

tbh looking at the mid season in retrospect has made me realise how inconsistent this season has really been. We had an absolute banger premiere, a couple of episodes that held up for their own reasons, a healthy curveball, and then the rest of the season decided to just procrastinate for no reason. What's up with that?
