I feel Guts vs Dimitri might be another Killua vs Misaka. Killua & Guts are well known but Dimitri & Misaka aren't.

Honestly I only know Dimitri exists because of Death Battle fans. I know nothing about him except that people want him to fight Guts for some reason.

It doesn't matter if Dimitri is from a famous series, you can be from a famous series and still be a literally who character.

The only fire emblem characters normies know are Marth and Lucina and maybe the other ones that appear in Smash Bros.

That being said, I should clarify that I don't mind Guts vs Fire Emblem dude. I don't know Guts nor the Fire Emblem character and I also don't know any good alternatives for either. I'm just pointing out it's cope to say Dimitri and Claymore girl are popular.
 
What Kirb said.

Yall are so ******* detached from reality that a mainline Nintendo franchise that has sold millions of copies and is something I see talked about constantly is considered """obscure"""", and yet I log in here every day and see yall promoting shit that's infinitely more obscure. If yall want your favorite anime or light novel or whatever to even have a shot at making it on DB, maybe don't bitch and whine whenever a decently series that isn't straight up billion dollar blockbuster material is picked.
 
lets see Dimitri comes from a series thats well known and have clout

Clare on the other hand has what exactly?

like be honesty how many are talking about Clare or claymore these days?

sure both are who's but which who has clout? which who has resources to pull from?

like honest to god answer me on that?

Dimitri is a main character from the million seller best selling entry of a major Nintendo series. Bro is literally on the boxart and the entire point of the game is choosing a faction to side with, and Dimitri is the major leader of one of those factions. He appears in the Smash Bros stage. There is no timeline in which he is a "who".

God the shit ya'll consider whos is embarrassing lol. We're never getting any franchise that's even slightly obscure at this rate lmfao.
 
how's it's lazy when Clare lacks any real resources to use outside going custom which what the weren't going for given wanted a
Guts episode in 3D
Their doing it for Guts! Why is it so hard to do it for the other character as well

They create entire fights animation for who characters sometimes so why is this suddenly a deal breaker?

I don't give a shit how many copies the game sold, I care about good matchups.

Neither Clare or Dimitri are household names, this is OBJECTIVELY TRUE, so make the better matchup an episode and introduce a new obscure series like you said.

Let Guts carry the episode if no-one is gonna know who the other character is

lets see Dimitri comes from a series thats well known and have clout

Clare on the other hand has what exactly?
Better story, better characters, better emotional moments, more connections, similar aesthetic, come from the same media form, both got shitty anime adaptations, better character growth.

Basically everything

because death battle isn't made of endless money and the peep who made custom models aren't there or left which make it harder and more costly
plus Guts has an existing 3D model

yes but again
how strong is her clout these days
how big of a name is she outside this community

we don't know what other factors played into Guts vs Clare not happening besides Clare lacking an existing 3d model

Spoilers my man

Also yeah I know why, it just sucks
Guts is a big enough character that they could reasonably still pull him against Clare a few seasons from now so I'm really not all that pressed about it. Gives us time to get Griffith against someone in-between.
Bring Guts back a 3rd time?
Aint that reserved for like the most popular characters?

Honestly don't believe that will happen
 
FE3H sold millions of copies, has been talked about constantly for like ******* years all online everywhere (its literally a meme that 3H discourse is completely inescapable) and Dimitri is one of the three main characters of the game lol. He's absolutely nowhere near who territory. Maybe not absolutely mainstream but we really need to re-evaluate what the **** a who even is.

And if someone tries to tell me Guts is a ******* who I don't know how people expect to get anything besides the most mainstream of franchises. Have fun with nothing but DC/Marvel and mainstream anime lol.
Kirb, I have literally never heard a word of discussion online about FE and I'm online and looking at discussions a lot. Unironically, the most FE discussion I ever saw was people simping over Camilla and occasional blurbs about Heroes here and there.

Maybe I'm wrong, but FE very much feels like a fanbase that keeps to itself, and that might hurt the episode. When a casual audiences' most "anime" game franchise they play is probably FF or Persona 5 specifically, FE likely isn't on a lot of radars.

But hey, I'm more than willing to be proven wrong if the episode performs well. I'm not a stubborn child who will kick and scream about it, and if it brings good viewership, then I'm glad!
 
I’m just saying, I see Clare talked about a hell of a lot more than Dimitri.
Guts though isn’t obscure, judging with all the virgins on the internet I’ve seen posting him

Edit:not to mention he’s not even popular in discussion of his own game, I’ve seen Edlegard a lot more too

Unironically if they did a remake of her anime rn I believe she'd lose her "Who?" status

The time the manga and anime came out screwed over any chance of popularity

At the time the Holy Shonen Trinity was in full effect and dicking on every other series at the time

I remember claymore being talked about in the late 00s and early 10s n lingered a bit in the mid 10s but how bad was the anime to screw it over in popularity
Also yeah HST popularity was at its peak
 
yeah FE isn't drawing clicks at all sorry

I predict like 1mil in a week for that episode if that, less than 1.5m in a month

look Darth Vader and Stitch didn't bring any decent views, like AVERAGE if you want to be generous, FE shitass isn't drawing views, Guts has to carry HARD and because he's likely losing, casuals aren't going to like it or skip it entirely.

I wish I could go where you are because if I see anymore FEH discourse idk what the **** I'm gonna do lmfao. When Engage came out I would see if discussed on social media frequently for like a month.
 
We’re never gonna have a DC Herald/Skyfather lose to non-Marcel, are we? Not even Marvel can consistently beat DC’s scaling.
Kyle would definitely lose to Simon unless either DB highballs the Life Equation or they wank the shit out of Kyle for some reason. (This is coming from a guy who massively prefers Kyle over Simon)
 
Also on Mahvel vs DeeCee

Its not that DC is blatantly > Marvel, the problem is that they are now just equal. Raven won via hax, not power.

The real problem is the absolutely insane equality chain this creates. DB now has:
Black Adam = Spectre = Trigon = Fate = Raven = Phoenix Force = Galactus = Apocalypse

Everyone is Tier 1, hell, 1-A I think by some of their words, unironically.

Yeah but that's because they considered the two to be even on the power department that the hax is what tipped the scales in Raven's favor.

Once again powerscalers are trying to convince me that something I never heard of outside of "Let's pit him against Gits" actually has a lot of fans and I've been living rock.

There's clearly only one answer: It's a government psy-op. The FBI is trying to gaslight me.

That being said I don't really mind that Guts is fighting Fire Emblem guy. Guys seems to be popular enough to carry an episode just by himself. I doubt most of the views will come from these Dimitri fans (Government agents)

I should mention that I don't think I push for matchups with unpopular characters. And if I do I have in mind that it's likely that they will never occur. It is what it is.

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd is one of the four main protagonists of FE3H, and like others said is far from being who. Not that well known compared to Guts sure but Clare is more forgotten (aka more WHO) than Dimitri.

The statistics backs this up.


The real obstacle is that very tongue twisting full name. Like three out of the four primary protagonists got their names so tongue twisting.

And since Three Houses are recent enough yet getting good materials to work on, I can see Dimitri getting into Death Battle first as a Fire Emblem candidate, aside from classic names like Marth and Corrin and Lucina and Anna etc.

This also paves paths for Byleth Eisner vs Rean Schwarzer. Some day.

Womens' rights
I assume you talk about Raven vs Phoenix.
But what is the matter in bringing that up? I don't get it.

I could literally care less about Fire Emblem in power scaling. I'm not even a fan of the franchise. But I'm not going to plug my ears and act like its some unknown who franchise when its a bigger deal than half of the shit we ask for on the show here lol. I have not seen constant discussion and discourse about this damn series for it to be something "nobody talks about" or Dimitri being never discussed even within his own game. The main thing people talk about regarding this game is who was ******* right LMAO.
 
@BlackDarkness679 They don’t use gameplay for feats due to it being inconsistent with what’s canonically shown. Kano survived numerous gunshots in gameplay but dies to a single shot to the head by a handgun in the story, hard to take anything in gameplay seriously when it comes to AP feats.
Im not talking of stuff like that....if you cant know what i meant about, then dont insert your baseless interpretation with that example

Also stuff like brutalities and fatalities are fair use especially when they got used canonically by characters
Yeah you kinda proved my point on why we don’t use Normal arcade mode stuff especially when it boils down to “beat the bad guy” and that’s it, which leads to a lot of inconsistencies with the scaling.
No you proved how you side a close minded mentality cuz you arent able to cross the line to scaling, street fighter uses an ending for justying the AP of certain characters even tho all start with Bison being beat, yet surprise for you and others, that scaling isnt used, instead a feat that shows how powerful the characters from earlier mentioned are, but its hard for to use your mind to figure out a crossing line apparently and instead we gotta use the excuse of inconsistencies to rule it out, even tho none used that ever to get such scaling
Not to the same extent that NRS and Midway have when entire storylines have been changed, backstories do not line up whatsoever with Midway, among many other things in the series that you’d have a hard time explaining why them connecting makes sense.
NRS starts with Midway trilogy games again to change events and stuff, so that they wont end up at armageddon again like Midway, that was the whole point of armaggedon Raiden, to warn his past and prevent this future

You have no excuse to claim NRS and Midway are like DC post crisis, pre crisis, new 52 and so on, not to mention the injustice and crossover game with MK is canon in NRS and Midway, let alone intro dialogues suggesting Midway and NRS are connected, with the Scorpion that is the champion of elder gods against the current Scorpion or the Shinnok from armaggedon against current Shinnok
This isn’t 2018-2019 anymore, times have changed.
And you think individuals living in that mindset dont exist around still, check around more often before you say stuff
Hah, yeah this shows how little you know on what’s happened on the site when we’ve had Marvel Heralds comparable to Thor at his peak in base form at Low Multi for quite some time.
Marvel had just a 3-C upgrade last i checked and no word was even told here it was succeeded to get them at tier 2
Plus Ant said in a DC upgrade thread that he’s fine with some of the DC heralds going to 4-A, possibly Low 2-C.
Where? Since Ant isnt letting something so big go through just like that given comics are strict in here
This whole “debating that DC and Marvel characters are universal or above on the site is a lost cause” bullshit is just that, bullshit.
I dont believe such a thing till i see it, especially after no word on this was told by anybody as far as i know

If I can cope my way into (eventually) trying to make 1-B Touhou a thing, then surely you can find a way to try making your own revisions work.

3.8 Million copies isn't a big achievement????

I think what people are forgetting with statistics is that you can do whatever the hell you want with them to say what you want with them (trust me, the last 3 years of global 'crises' have taught me that VERY well). By what metric are we measuring success? What is EXPECTED from these series? Were we in the board meeting when these series were pitched? Or are we just gamers and consumers who judge things in different and more refined ways?

HGSS Speedrunner Werster sums up my thoughts on this discussion pretty well in this video here:

 
Ngl, it seems kind of weird for them to say that Jean had no defense against soul hax when not only is the WHR Phoenix beyond all other cosmic entities who do have soul based attacks and defenses but its the being responsible for death and rebirth in the Marvel multiverse. Considering said life aren't a bunch of soulless husks when they're reborn, it stands to reason that the Phoenix does in fact have power and defenses related to the soul. The Rachael Grey thing wasn't the WHR Phoenix so it seems weird to say that a massively stronger version of Phoenix can't manipulate souls just because the weaker and lesser version of itself failed to do so.

Unironically, that is surprisingly decent argument to say Pokemon's mediocrity has affected sales negatively.

Unfortunately, current push is still in heavy millions and they push out a lot more games and merch, so they still get decent money at worst. Unless some CEOs get punished by "no growth grrrr" Pokemon might not change ways.

And tbh, I do wonder will Ninty have some problems for Switch 2. Game development takes so much, even with PS4-level hardware, Ninty might have to take more time. And god forbid Pokemon's 3-year dev schedule will not work if they want to grow games themselves.
 
I won't admit that Dimitri is popular until I see people who aren't corrupted by powerscaling talking about him and get hundreds of likes on any social media.

"Fire Emblem communities" don't count.

Until that happens, I will adopt the most reasonable conclusion: Dimitri fans and Fire Emblem fans are all government agents that want to lie to me about the existence of this so called "Dimitri"

Wake up sheeple.
 
Man, I think you all should calm down, I understand that some people didn't like that Dimitri was gust's opponent, but geninuously I ask, what's wrong with him, of course if you compare him to Clare on the level of thematic maybe he doesn't come close, but geninuously he's like their...second best Mu they could have picked, some of you seem to really go out of your way to make the next mu look bad like...yeah come on guys, since when have you ever cared if a certain character is popular? Genuinely surprised to see so much interest in whether the next character is "known" or not.

Like.. most of us post characters that others have no idea about, sorry to say but, literally if we're like now, 90% of what I've seen here are a "who?".. because truth be told, the casuals hopefully consume something that doesn't go outside the circle of what's really popular.. type extremely famous sagas might be unknown to people who only watch like a half a day lol.
