Do normies really hate new and different series represented that much, they don't even get curious about said series?

So I just got back from playing the Mortal Kombat 1 story and Jago better run away so damn fast cuz even his possible cosmic scaling isn't going to save him.
Fire God Liu Kang even before becoming Keeper of Time is like 2-C to 2-A, same for Kronika's Crown Shang Tsung. Their final fight at the end of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath released so much energy that it caused the formerly singular timeline to split into innumerable timelines which canonised all possibilities. So the OG MK11 Ending is canon with Kitana becoming a Titan, Shang Tsung's Bad Ending for Aftermath is canon. Kano's ending leading into the MK Legends: Snow Blind movie is canon. Etc.

Oh wait does Scorpion also upscale from that? This may mean Death Battle is correct on Ryu vs Scorpion all along.
- 22,519

no because he's inferior to FG Liu

There is Titan Scorpion. Pretty much every characters has a comparable counterpart to FG Liu (with his time power)

Oh yeah, I forgot to add the whole "isn't part of Death Battle's charm is learning about new characters and series?" to my list of dumb things this community spews out constantly.
NO
It isn't
The main charm is seeing characters you're passionate about, or at least care about slightly and seeing them interact and fight each other in a crossover.
'Normies' only care about episodes featuring characters they are familiar with. They don't hate new characters, they just don't care and won't bother watching if it features characters they never heard of. And honestly why should they care? Oh boy I sure can't wait to learn about a new character from the hillbilly guy with a grating voice and his lame scientist buddy and see them making dumb jokes about said random anime girl I never heard of before!
What some people forget is a good chunk of the audience just skips the analysis and watches the fight animation. They don't give a **** of learning a new character and the community and crew needs to learn this asap.
Hell, I would say it's more about the matchup than the individual characters. Sure people know and love Stitch, but how many wanted to see him fight Rocket? A underwhelming amount of people.

Still risky so we'll never get to see Bridget on DB at all

Yes but you don't want to resort to using a different version of character reaching god hood than the one folks are more familiar with

Hanzo Scorpion, before MK1, has an ending burning Liu Kang timeline cuz his wife marries the Scorpion of that one, which is Kuai Liang Scorpion, let alone he would already scale from Raiden fight in X and 11, cuz thats actually consistent
- 13,899
- 14,030
Characters were already 2-C from well before this, realm merging and what not, MK1 literally just supports stuff already there before existing, which people choose to be ignorant cuz "hurr durr inconsistent, not scaling to physicals" bullshit
- 3,364
- 3,168
Sidenote, but the Black Hole feat Liu has would probably scale to Raiden and Fujin, since it's done by a Liu without his time powers.
That is if fatalities ever get accepted as usable.

Dont have high hopes when those who handle MK here think storm feats or melting swords are jaw dropping stuff and come up with excuses to tier 2

Does Hanzo not exist in the new timeline?
- 13,899
- 14,030
Unless the story mode shows him in there, there is no hanzo, current scorpion is kuai liang, whom was the young subzero before the game

Who would Primus’ MU be?

Think I've seen this post on reddit before lul, ngl Death needs to be put up against Bathory, as both of them defined their genres (Black and death metal) that evolved from thrash, both were playing the more standard styles of their genres but would both soon switch to something more unique (Technical death and viking metal). Also both of them have always-changing line-up with only one consistent member who happens to be a god a genius and everyone's husbando (Chuck and Quorthon) who also tragically passed away in early 2000's.Metal band vs metal band
I think it works way better than Opeth, plus for a band like Death I think you should pick a band who have somewhat comparable legacy to them (Not to shit on Opeth or their legacy or something but imho it's just not as big as Death) and if you want them to face another dm band, Gorguts imho would be a great pick, both played ordinary old school death metal in their early years, then switched to very technical styles in late 90's, creating some of the most influential and unique albums in their genres.

Maybe Red Hot Chilly Pepper
There is also obscure band Blind Illusion which is previous band of many Primus members

Where was this stated? Either way, if it makes stuff like the Champions ballet or whatever, it might have a higher chance. And besides, crew members or researchers liking or disliking an idea doesn't mean as much compared to actual push from the audience and requests. The inner community is getting a better chance to push for matchups sure, and crew can still pitch ideas as they wish sure. This doesn't guarantee or deconfirm a matchup however.
EDIT: I'm not saying I think Ky vs either of his big ideas are inherently likely either lol.

I did, actuallyYou've seen previous version
Also, no Suffocation vs Internal Bleeding in both versions? Cringe...........

I only maybe assumed Bridget due to popularity being a bigger pull for views compared to others (for more controversial reasons however though). But yeah, I can see I-No potentially now that you mention it. Has a big overarching role, and is fairly popular.

I have limited space.
- 22,519
- 48,471
Even factoring popularity it doesn't translate to views and vs clout nobody was gassing up the character in any scenario in the vs community or among normies
Like I said before it was never deconfirmed but said by the guy moreso if we're bringing Saber on the guy said it be easier to push Luke vs Saber as opposed to Saber vs KY given many know Luke and Star wars is a massively popular franchise

It's right after the ballot a months ago iifc
And ngl, the push on Ky vs Artoria are pretty low compared to the other Artoria MU, with the hype on Guilty Gear are died down recently as well

Where was this said though? Also I'm not trying to say anything is confirmed or deconfirmed either, but I can see Luke as likelier partly due to reasons you already stated.

Also peoples need to stop calling Artoria "Saber" as there so many of them now (Sigurd, Charlemagne, etc) since Saber is a class
Then again calling her just "Artoria" is also odd too as she has so many version as well, the mascot and the main class Saber Artoria, the MILF-I mean the wielder of World's Anchor Lancer Artoria, the Alternate timeline where she's a fairy of saviour Caster Artoria, the gag timeline Saber Slayer Mysterious Heroine X (Assassin), and so on
