Difference between Vs Battles and other vs sites

I think one of the biggest differences is that we don't jump the shark with assumptions.

This character is faster than this one? Well, that means he's unquantifiable above that, not a set amount of times with no basis nor support. That's what people tend to do, making long scaling chains based on blitzes and stomps to add multipliers and inflate the statistics.

I think our conservative nature is what makes us look elitist to people.

I mean, even to users outside the wiki, from second hand experience at least I can say that they normally find the powers and abilities indexed being accurate (Some of them have to be directly explained ofter, however, namely anything related to concepts and fate manip), the tier itself, on the other hand... is quite standard-dependant.
I personally found the Dragon Ball stats to be very accurate as soon as I got to this site. I was totally taken off guard by Pokémon ones tho.
 
I've seen cases where they find the Pokédex entries as just unreliable (Magcargo is the biggest example), so me trying to explain how they are usable and all can get heated, let alone how what to us is 2-A and High 1-B are mixed up a lot outside this place.

And obviously I have to always pull effort when I feel like bringing up absurd stuff like practically everyone in Kingdom Hearts being abstract entities or Mario being faster than Sonic.
 
Before this site I didn't have a way to index any character properly, just going by what I found more impressive and what death battle said.

Now, now I'm a better nerd... And that kinda help me to an extend irl...
 
Also, when I got to this site, I didn't get Tier 1 at all, or how there could be anything above what was described on 2-A. 2-A sounded like the max any character could go up to, yet this weird Tier 1 was somehow above it.

Honestly you have no idea how many times this has happened while I was on here. 5-C Finn the Human, 1-A Cthulhu Mythos (I actually believed in 6-D Yog before here), MLP characters beating up Superman and more. At least it was easy to see how one got to that conclusion though.
 
The BIGGEST difference is our priorities.

Other sites/channels have heavy priority towards Marvel/DC. THIS site has heavy priority towards anime and other eastern media, and not your Dragon Ball or HST or OPM. But Obscure anime/light/visual novels no one in the universe has heard of like Tenshie Slime, ID, Masada, and a bunch of other stuff no one has heard of.

This site is Anime centered mostly and the western verses that usually get attention usually aren't the ones you excpect like Marvel or DC

Blame the staff for that, they are a ball of otakus, especially you, Celestial Pegasus.

At least we also have a wide side for comics and all media in general, we already got most of the stuff you could argue to be mainstream indexed, some more stuff and we can rivalize TV Tropes in that regard.
 
To be fair, the heavy variety can be useful, I can make Looney Tunes VS Castlevania, MCU VS Spongebob, MCU VS JoJo, Marvel VS Disney, DC VS Cartoon Network, Rakudai VS JoJo, It's a spider VS Courage, Infamous VS OPM, etc

It's refreshing when everything isn't Marvel VS DC sometimes

I just checked to see if TV Tropes has a page on us... sadly no. Kinda wanted to see what they'd put under the YMMV section.

Apparently they prefer to just spite us on their Death Battle forum section.

I probably could work on it as I have an account there, but I still haven't made even a single edit there, and I probably won't until I find a way of getting in properly.

Maybe that's the reason every marvel CRT turns into a shitstorm
CRTs for Marvel and DC are boring at most, but those by no means are storms compared to other verses.

Just search up, VSBW sucks on either google or youtube.

You get PLENTY of people who roast us behind our backs

I mean, let's be honest, we do that a lot too. Just look up "vs battles wiki wank" and see how many threads of ours have us complaining about how other sites do things.
 
We also do something that some sites (at least in spanish) avoid like a plague: calcs.

What I've seen in communities I used to visit is that calcs are a huge no to them, because they think that finding dimensions is practically impossible unless your author is called Murata or Miura. They laugh at you if you use pixel scaling even.
 
Let's not go too overboard talking about the dramatic parts; we do get enough of that already. But they often use that as an excuse to do it more if we mention it here.

Dude, if you think Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken is an obscure anime no one has heard about, you don't pay attention to what the popular anime are at all.

Also, what does ID stand for here?
 
In the end, it will always come down to a matter of opinion, and conflict we always exist as long as said concept stands. That is the fundamental force of humans.

I'm so good at making speeches.
 
Well with my limited experience to VS Debating outside of this place, the difference are the profiles.

How they're structured is one thing, the other is that we use a single profile rather than multiple ones.

Also yeah, the Death Battle Forums in TV Tropes are nasty to this place like that.

Yeah, the wiki isn't really something that can fall as something with a narrative, and it isn't really noteworthy to get it's own UsefulNotes section like other wikis like Wikipedia do have.
 
As others have mentioned, we do our best to be evenhanded in featuring and being fair to a wide variety of fiction, rather than maintaining a very narrow focus in our interests.

We have also made an extreme effort to build and gradually improve on our systems and profiles over time.

In addition, we consider it very important to maintain a reasonably polite and respectful environment, so people from all the world, and very different cultural backgrounds, are able to collaborate well with each other.

I personally don't mind. As a troper myself, I know how toxic and biased the YMMV pages can be.

Technically it isn't an anime.
