Anyways to pass the time post ya top 5 favorite MU and reasons for them
Sure, I guess I'll throw my hat into the ring.
5. Mordecai and Rigby vs Finn and Jake (Regular Show vs Adventure Time)
This is one of those "cartoon rivalry" matchups that has always just been pure fun for me. Two iconic cartoon duos from the same era and network, throwing all of their craziness at one another to see who can out-crazy the other. The track could sound like a blend of fantasy and 80/90s music, and the fight could jump significantly in scale like a Regular Show episode, while Finn and Jake take things in stride like they normally do. Overall, it's one of the most fun cartoon fights with lots of potential for animation.
4. Nemesis vs Pyramid Head (Resident Evil vs Silent Hill)
This is for me what Jason vs Micheal was for many others. Just a good ol' fashioned horrorfest between two of the most iconic monsters from survival-horror video games. I want to see the two fight in Silent Hill, seeing things transform and rust as the battle ensues. Like Micheal vs Jason, they can have Nemesis stumble into Pyramid Head because they have the same target, and it can just go from there. Music could encompass their themes and lean into the horror and dread of both series.
3. Takano Miyo vs Albert Wesker (When They Cry vs Resident Evil)
I deeply empathize with people who want matches like Walter White vs Light Yagami, because this is one of those matchups where everything lines up on paper,
but how does one actually implement it?
You've got two people who became obsessed with the end goal of becoming a God due to the influences of their adopted fathers who had, in some form, wanted to accomplish the same. However, Takano did so out of
extreme admiration, while Wesker had
pure contempt for Spencer. The death of said fathers would kickstart their desire to become God.
Both were taken away by family due to circumstances beyond their control. Both excelled in school, driven by their ambitions, and would end up working work with secret organizations. Both groups have a Pharmaceutical background which serves as a front for their true research of dangerous viruses, with some hoping to weaponize it. Both Takano and Wesker end up betraying all of their supposed allies along the way.
Both worked with parasitic viruses, spreading them across a village to try and achieve their Godhood (one physically and the other metaphorically). They both also hide in the shadows as they plot, rarely taking the frontlines once their plan is in motion.
Oh, and they're both evil blondes who wear a lot of black, from horror games. You also have a male vs female and East vs West angle to pull from, and amazing music from both series.
Again though, good look making an actual fight or animation. It doesn't seem possible whatsoever.
2. Bill Cypher vs Discord (Gravity Falls vs My Little Pony)
This one is self-explanatory, and I've talked enough above. Everything has been said about this matchup that can be said, and it's pure fun. Simple as that.
1. Fuka Kazamatsuri vs Sumireko Usami (Disgaea vs Touhou Project)
This fight, like Takano vs Wesker, is my baby. I have a lot of love for it because it just makes sense to me.
Two "dream girls" around the same age, who travel to a world filled with "monsters." Interestingly enough, both worlds themselves rely on humans in some way to continue empowering themselves and continue existing (fear and belief, respectively). Said worlds are much less modernized than the ones they originally come from.
Both threw the other worlds into chaos by arriving there (Sumireko threatened the border with her actions, while Fuka tried attacking the government almost immediately). This led them to befriend the protagonist of said series/game, who have/would in some way turn said world on its head (Reimu befriending Youkai as a shrine maiden, while Valvatorez overturns the entire government).
Both end up having bodies that they technically shouldn't have (Sumireko's body being a doppelganger while Fuka is an "unprinny," a prinny retaining her human form), and stay/visit the other worlds even though they shouldn't be able to. Sumireko travels through daydreams, while Fuka is
dead but remains convinced that she's just dreaming everything up.
Both series have great music, lots of crazy attacks and info to pull from for animation and research, and their fighting styles vary enough to spice things up. Fuka could instigate the fight because she's a hothead who would refuse to believe someone else is dreaming in her "dream." She could smack bombs at Sumireko with her baseball bat. Sumireko can redirect them with her telekinesis. Sumireko could throw out a ton of danmaku, which could be countered with mechas and lasers from Fuka.
It would be Bullet Hell absurdity vs over-the-top cartoonish SRPG attacks, getting bigger and bigger in scope. Hell, Sumireko could wake up mid fight and accidentally bring Fuka back to Earth with her!
I love this matchup, and it's just perfect to me.
Plus, you could call the track
Daydream Bereaver or something cheeky like that, unless you'd want to lean more into both series' lore for the track name.
