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

Status
Not open for further replies.
Semi-random question:
1. How much a chance PMD Grovyle vs Lucina is in the future?
2. How much a chance PMD Grovyle is winning?
3. Would you like it if (somehow, just in case) PMD Grovyle wins against Lucina and PMD Kecleon loses to Anna?

So since the pentagram turned out to be Misaka vs Killua, any guesses for the “kill them all treat them violently” on the cipher circle?

Since the Hunter x Hunter hint was purposefully meant to be cryptic, is there any chance that "treat them violently" could also be meant to be taken in a different way than initially intended? Like, maybe characters with medical backgrounds?

I'm just throwing ideas out there at this point.

Which Anna would we be using here?

Dude I didn’t even think about that, although I’m not sure if it explains the “kill them all” part
 
I guess we now know what this Star Sigil means.

So...what were you guys thoughts on Killua vs Misaka?
Click to expand...
Well since it's now out on YT, I'll say my thoughts and give it a 8/10. Hearing Killua being talked about gave me some nostalgia and Misaka honestly had a interesting analysis. Animation wise, there's some jank but i like how both strategize throughout the fight. The Fakeout and Death were good as well.

Does AAA appear in the analysis of Misaka? I heard that AAA would screw Killua more.

AAA and Level 6 weren’t granted to her no.

@Kirbonic_Pikmin alright for the ***** and giggles, thoughts Doomguy vs Reimu? Both results and as a matchup it’s self
Click to expand...
It’s DBX fodder imho, it’s a funny matchup but that’s really all it has. Reimu’s way to goddamn fast and haxxed for Doom Guy to really do anything to, she’d have a million ways to shut him down and Fantasy Nature would make her completely unable to be affected by him. The only aspect that might be close is AP depending on what you buy for Slayer.

Why is HxH such a weak shonen verse?
Click to expand...
It’s not really weak, but the fact it’s so ridiculously high scale is kind of half the appeal of its battles tbh

That just feels like Doom Slayer to me at least, but the pentagram being those two throws a wrench into it.

I'm going to be honest, this is a bit of a weird one for me to talk about.

The analysis is fine, and the Boomstick jokes are very... well, Boomstick. Not to mention what they've done with the editing of said analysis, being on par with Marvel/DC capeshit episodes for the attention to detail they gave comic panels (also the use of Tom & Jerry sfx were quite a chuckle). I would have kept the ending pun at 'she let him keep the change' though, similar to how people complained that Sanji's final line vs Rock Lee was 'overwritten'.

The fight itself I think had good ideas (the exchanges themselves on paper are pretty slick), but something about Misaka's voice just didn't land for me. I'd call Finty Kelly Lowe miscast (in a similar way to how I complained about Jenny Yakobori as Ryuko way back when), and while the only roles I recognise Britteny Karbowski for are from shows I haven't seen dubbed, I don't picture this kind of deep, forceful delivery from Misaka's origin role. Kiloua I can't really speak for, however.

I also found the ending rather abrupt (even if the idea is kinda nice), and the overuse of the coin feels a bit like how the Falcon Punch in Captain Falcon vs Johnny Cage was played abruptly near the beginning, and then thrown out again for the ending. Also, for as much as the frog tag is a running gag in Railgun for Misaka, the ending being that she's glad she murdered one young lad over it? I have no stakes in HxH, and even I can sympathise with any description of subsection of their fans spiking their keyboards in distain at the consequences of this fight for both characters. Sort of like how, to paraphrase Nemesis Bloodryche, 'Po was far too happy to tell Shifu he just murdered a guy'.

So far, this sounds like (mostly) all negatives, but far from it for that to be so. The fight is well paced, and the exchanges themselves were fairly excellent in concept and (in spite of the lacklustre voice delivery) well met in execution (the snake vs Rod Iron avatar being just as snappy as it needed to be). A part of me is wondering how the SFM/Blender team would have held up with this hybrid of hand-to-hand and varied powersets, if this were remade in 3D (odd tangent, I know, but it is worth inquiring).

This, and the OST is as great as ever. I don't exactly have Index/Railgun's OSTs fresh in my head (outside of the two tracks that would pass for Sonic OSTs, which is far from a bad thing), and even I found myself thinking 'yeah, this weird techno-drum and bass and light rock is the exact kind of thing I'd expect to hear from the series'.

Higher end of 'good' tier for me overall.

She sounded off through out the fight, the only part where I felt she sounded good was during the ending bit where she was measuring the height at which Killua was falling
 
AntAtom is Atom. (lol)
DarkSoulsSkyrim is Swords. (duh)
KilluaMisaka is either Beaker or Pentagram.
StitchRocket is either Beaker, Wave or Star.

Yeaaah, this might be puzzle even with all reveals lol
