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

[Hunterzillas]

Honestly as good as the MU is idk how could u make it work in a DB format as least make it satisfying for it given these Days

All you'd need to do is write some entertaining dialogue and throw in a couple of popular references. In terms of the actual battle, it would most likely play out like the ending of an episode of Columbo, with the detective putting Light in a position where he basically incriminates himself. Whether Columbo can prove Light is Kira or Light figures out Columbo's full name, someone will still die. If Columbo wins, Ryuk kill Light. If Light wins, he just writes Columbo's full name down.

 

[TMaakkonen]

If they are that desperate for Light vs Columbo, it should be a spinoff like Death Race.

I just remembered that was a thing when I was typing this :V

Lame, and beside it should Teto instead Miku against Suisei, they way more connected with their struggle

And on today's episode of "Joycap does cursed Xeno MUs":

Glimmer (XC3) vs Maki Nishikino (Love Live SIP Continuity, Granblue Powerset)
​

• Both are red-headed young women pulled out of responsibilities by mains insistent in their ways (Glimmer being freed from the Keves/Agnus war and Flame Clocks by Matthew/A, yet still initially wanting to return to her colony, and Maki being one of Riko's Pianist Kohai's before moving to Otonokizaka, and being goaded by Honoka into being a School Idol).​
• Both are technically from 'other worlds', when you take into account the nature of the Granblue crossover, and Glimmer being heavily implied to be one of Rex's children before the building of Origin.​
• In addition, both use forms of musical string instruments as weapons (Glimmer's Blade 'Kitharode' doubling as a violin to heal and shoot fire in varying capacity, and Maki's GBF moveset having (if I'm understanding correctly) a harp and piano).​
• Both have similar 'tsundere' personalities, with Glimmer (seemingly taking after Mythra, in that sense) not wanting to admit help from Shulk/Rex and the like after being freed from her Flame Clock (initially selling her location out to the Moebius W of 1000 years past), and Maki being too prideful to want to be a School Idol (partly as a result of her medical studies).​

@Artorimachi_Meteoraft I did a 'singing' MU one better

 

[Jasonsith]

Has this not been a Community Death Battle before?

... Wait it actually has not.

i Did not know that but thanks

Death Case
There are people investigating in mystery cases or engaging in court cases

• Light Yagami / L vs Columbo / Walter White
• Phoenix Wright / Makoto Naegi / MCU She-Hulk / Battler Ushiromiya (at least two matchups from any 2 out of these)
• Nightwing vs Daredevil
• A case battle with Detective Pikachu
• A case battle with Naoto Shirogane

Spoiler: contain very sensitive content

Not related to the debate at all - I am not caring about them for a while.

But the rap really boots some rythmn in me - what is the rap music coming from? I want to know the name of the work and the basic info - can be useful for other contents.

 

[Zencha9]

Ash Ketchum vs Yugi Muto fans: Why are you (this matchup) coming in front of me now I thought I were going with Ash vs Yugi

Simply pick a better match up GG

 

[WeeklyBattles]

So Dark Magician vs Jace isn't an inherent stomp?

Jace from MtG?

 

[Zencha9]

You theoretically push YGO to High 1-C. Low 1-C is based cross-scaling Atem/Yugi to Zexal and ARC-V dimensional shenanigans IIRC.

I'm cooking up Low 1-C versions of the DM manga and maybe duel links versions

 

[Jimmy.robinson.5099]

They do and apparently Ash still statsomps, at least in speed. Most people insist Ash destroys Yugi by blitzing before he's able to draw a single card

The thread itself has over 12k messages, so I CBA to dig through everything. Found this general consensus.

Makes sense to me, though admittedly IDK anything about YGO.

445 got the durability.

 

[Tots_Real]

Jace from MtG?

Yeah... what other character named Jace would make sense fighting Dark Magician?

 

[Joycap]

Ah yes, I recall you having a similar reaction to me suggesting Nia vs Eli.

I wonder which of Muse and Aquors girls I should find MUs for this (or next) week...

If I remember well, Seth has a muscular body and actually does exercise. He should be able to dodge all of EDP's attacks, tire him out and beat him.

But that doesn't matter, both lose to Paul Blart the mall cop. Paul solos both of them at the same time + their verses.

Adell From Disgaea 2.

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

Rip them if that's Archie

 

[OverlordDonnelly]

Rip them if that's Archie

I wish I could BS some explanation about them beating Archie, but the entire Nipponverse can only be pushed to maybe 6D, 7D at the most.

 

[Kirbonic_Pikmin]

I think Marx is kinda wildly low here, can’t say I like Buu or Broly much for her myself, I’d probably swap their places.

Bitchin. Did you commission these?

Yep

Yep

Doin the lords work. This fight's going to go hard, whenever it becomes an actual episode.

We'll see whether it'll happen hell I wouldn't mind a DBX first to test the waters and see what can work or not

So anyone actually knowing where the rap comes from? I try to search by typing in the lyrics but I cannot find the song. I thought this is much easier to do so nowadays.

[HyperShadic6500]

I see a 666: Satan Match i like. I prefer Kid Buu though.

 

[Deidalius]

I vibe a lot with Majin Buu vs Flandre and Lamberdelta (I don't know how to write her name) Lamber has a similar personality
Marx should be higher ngl

I've seen this matchup a lot. Why? Why is it a matchup? What are their similarities?

 

[Jasonsith]

Daily reminder

Flandre Scarlet has been introduced with so many alternatives
While people are pushing Sakuya Izayoi to sharpen her knives against Hit specifically and no one else

 

[Deidalius]

Daily reminder

What happened? Are they now able to regenerate? Time travel? Grow taller than planets? Create anything with their minds?

 

[ZeNoviceArtist]

Should power scaling matter in storytelling?

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Should power scaling matter in storytelling?

I mean, yeah, mostly if you're writing stuff to do with action. It's a way to present stakes in stuff like action, and inconsistent power scaling can often make things feel confusing and jarring.

Marx vs Flandre Scarlet
Video game boss characters who have skeleton wings encased with weird colourful diamonds.
Both have an insane personality.
Super easy to get close connections.

And to potential commissioners: Do have a duet and hire Futakuchi Mana for the commissioned music work.

Creepy little ***** who, despite their childish facade, are both deceptively old and incredibly powerful, worthy of fear from even the strongest in their worlds. They have similarly striking aesthetics thanks to their red and white color pallet, devilish tail, fangs, red eyes and unconventional wingspan. They are eccentric and jump at the chance to battle strong opponents, being are dreaded among their settings for their insane power (Flandre being generally feared by those who know of her and Satan being renowned as "The Genius Among Gods" and "The Toughest Guy in the Universe"). They are capable of duplicating themselves, healing quickly and generally obliterating all that stands in their path. Both reside in realms separated from that of the "real world" (Gensokyo and The Heavenly Realm), both are humanoid rather than human and have allusions to the event of Ragnarok (Flan's sword being named after the weapon that was used to burn the world in the event, and Satan being summoned in the Ragnarok). Both can use flames and fire (Flandere's sword being embroiled in flames and Satan's wings being fire), but while Satan can absorb and empower himself using the atmosphere of the Sun, Flan is weak to sunlight.

I see, I think it's a decent matchup.

Marx should be higher out of pure and unfiltered bias.

If only comic writers know this...

 

[Jasonsith]

The reason why people keep finding Brandon Yates and Therewolf Media instead of other cheaper choices
(2305 clicks in 7 days vs 203 clicks in 20 days)

I see, I think it's a decent matchup.

Marx should be higher out of pure and unfiltered bias.

Marx should be put higher (in the list of opponents vs Flandre Scarlet) out of pure outlook

Also Marx can carry views as a Kirby character.
Afterwards, (if lucky enough after this and possibly Sakuya Izayoi vs Hit, Remilia Scarlet vs Rachel Alucard and Cirno vs Jack Frost) Touhou Project characters will be able to carry views by themselves.

If only comic writers know this...

Some comics writers actually know this. Keyword: some.

And yes a clear mind in powerscaling helps write a more coherent story and not like you bluff about a monster just to be easily slapped and gets the readers and the other audience or spectators raging.

 

[Tipper17]

Should power scaling matter in storytelling?

Yes lol
Power scaling is essential to story telling to establish how strong x character is in comparison y and latter z

Without it you get shit like modern MK where beats everybody making hard to see who scale to wat
