They're still a business, so choosing two of the most popular fictional universes to go head to head makes sense if they want to make a profit

Oh, the business, it ******* sucks, but makes sense tho.

 

[Sorvoe551]

There's a thin line between integrity and compromise when it comes to business. The best ride that line carefully, but most have to cross it to survive

DEATH BATTLE Fight Previews S6:E8 - Shazam Thunders into DEATH BATTLE!

The "Original Captain Marvel" shows off his shocking magic powers for this upcoming DEATH BATTLE!

https://roosterteeth.com/episode/de...ws-season-6-shazam-thunders-into-death-battle

Ya Rooster Teeth episodes are free for 24 hours starting from 10:00 CT 1 April 2019 so... Gotta go fast.

And yeah Shazam does scale to Superman by being able to hurt Superman and taking hits from Superman.

So Shazam ~= Superman > Goku > 18 > Carol should hold.

 

[Peter_"Quicksilver"_Maximoff]

Eh, his magical attacks are a reason why he's able to hurt superman as supes has no natural defense against it. But it doesn't matter that much.

Death Battle as a whole is a joke at this point

 

[Peter_"Quicksilver"_Maximoff]

Captain Marvels base might get upgraded, she still gets smaked though.

To me, it's more about spectacle than anything else.

Captain Marvel vs Shazam/Captain Marvel should be a decently animated fight if nothing else, even if the matchup is quite boring.

They are more focused to draw audience attention and make a spectacular show than to bring up fresh ideas. However if fresh ideas could bring up good fights (and they actually know it) they would be more than happy to follow it. Just like how they believe the "fight" logo should be removed to make fights more "cinematic scenes" than "game replays".

 

[Sorvoe551]

If they come up with unique matches from obscure series, no one will watch it. They need at least someone recognizable to draw in people

Well bringing one super popular/iconic figure against another super unique character from an obscure series - that actually works in their eyes. (Looks back at Car-ditto)


As such I highly suspect Cyborg (Post-Flashpoint) would fight Noel VermillioÔÇÜ ChiseÔÇÜ Motoko Kusanagi or Alita (Last Order)

 

[TitanCrusher101]

Doesn't Cyborg destroy all of them?

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

No

 

[TitanCrusher101]

Blitzes the shit out of her^ look at her durability.

Edit: Didn't know Cyborg was that slow nvm.

 

[DMUA]

BlazBlue gg

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Look at her regen. Not to mention her passive abilities.

 

[TitanCrusher101]

Wtf is she?!

> Has super low durability

> JK she has Low-Godly Regen

 

[Jasonsith]

Wtf is she?!
> Has super low durability

> JK she has Low-Godly Regen

Noel has mid-godly regen as said in her profile.

And she has abstract existence. Good luck hacking into THAT.

Cyborg has reactions in picoseconds, that still keeps him at ~3,333,333 c. Still faster than Noel's mere 1.7 c. Just if any of Cyborg's attacks are meaningful at all.

 

[TitanCrusher101]

Typo, I meant Mid.

 

[TitanCrusher101]

If you guys were following the Accuracy Scale, the new one can be found here: https://vsbattles.com/vsbattles/2878021?useskin=oasis

 

[Jasonsith]

Quite unsurprising Cyborg destroys Alita (Last Order) is it not? Can understand the fact he blitzes her despite not tagging Superman and Wonder Woman. Also his AP scaling to "616 kilo FOE" IMP.

(But why Cyborg does not tag Supes and Diana in speed tho)

And if Cyborg can hack into Brainiac's ship, I believe few can escape from his hacking.

 

[MeleeniumRXJ]

Alita is gonna be in the next Death Battle??

 

[Peter_"Quicksilver"_Maximoff]

Blitzing doesn't matter if you don't have the AP or good enough hax to go along with it.

 

[Sorvoe551]

So the DB Cast hit YouTube and the preview of the fight has me concerned with their portrayal of Shazam, same problem with the upcoming movie: they're making him look like a 13-year old with superpowers, not a naive person with the WISDOM OF SOLOMON

Shazam was handled great in the Justice League cartoon from the mid-2000s. Though his screen time was short (1-2 episodes with a focus on him), it showed that he wasn't stupid, he just wasn't experienced with many adult factors of the world.

For example, the overarching plot of that season was Lex Luther running for president and Shazam commented to a news crew how he was glad Luther was turning his life around and built a nice mini-city for the homeless or something (SUPER obvious that it was a ploy to make Superman look bad). Shazam didn't realize that his comment would make the public think that the entire Justice League supported Luther, and Superman was super pissed about it because he was super suspicious of Luther.

This led to Superman and Shazam fighting and destroying the mini-city as collateral in front of everyone, giving the exact result Luther wanted and it was an amazing mini-arc in the show.

So yeah, otherwise, the animation looks pretty good so far

 

[Sorvoe551]

Also, Jason, your answer for Falcon vs Cage wasn't picked, but the one who was echoed some of your points. Didn't know Kintaro could survive a nuke

Ben did say in the latest Death Battle Cast that, since the (brief) departure of Torrian from Screwattack the animation teams have mined Easter eggs for upcvoming Death Battle episodes.


Also, when will this appear in Death Battle?

 

[Corgi_the_Gen_Z_God]

Anyone knows where I should start with Shazam on the comics?

 

[Corgi_the_Gen_Z_God]

Why I don't like Death Battle much.

 

[TitanCrusher101]

You guys hate on the show too much. Sure, they feature the two verses alot. However, if you think any show even compares, then take many seats.

 

[TitanCrusher101]

Anywhere is fine. DC is amazing like that.

 

[Jasonsith]

The coming Community Death Battle is said to be Handsome Jack vs Two-Face.

But for some reason the official Twitter poll has not been out yet.

 

[TitanCrusher101]

Without putting any thought into it (like it's needed) Handsome Jack stomps. Clever matchup, though. They are pretty similar.

 

[Sorvoe551]

Hm...future man with energy shields, electric arm guns that can one shot armored troopers, and a robot army on call vs an angry man with a pistol.


HHHHMMMMMMMMMMMM......

Exactly. Although, you have to admit, it's a clever matchup on surface levels. Their characters are pretty similar.

They have a tragedy behind their scarred face tho.

But that is still more spiteful than Tracer vs Scout.

 

[The_Smashor]

TF2 probably should be tier 8 via fighting Merasmus, who created the Carnival of Carnage, including the fairly large bumper cart sections.

 

[TitanCrusher101]

Yes, but at least the fight is a stomp AND makes sense. Most fights are stomps and kind of make sense a little bit or not at all!? Bomberman VS Dig Dug?!

 

[Jasonsith]

Power scale difference is what Screwattack tries not to consider in the first place when considering matchups.

But what backfires them are their weird research methodology (esp. in Season 1~4), lucky enough their animation skills make up for that.

 

[TitanCrusher101]

Yes, they're not flawless, but don't deserve as much hate as they get.
