It was decent, but again, the episode was just a pity win so their fans can say they aren't biased. There's no way Shadow could even lose that fight.I guess I shouldn’t even have to ask about your guys’ thoughts on DB’s research and scaling for Shadow in that episode then…?

Wait, really? Even with them showcasing Shadow to be above planetary to “arguably universal” and vaguely FTL?
- 9,150

Base Shadow being planet level and Super Shadow being universal is fine and the episode didn't need more. Eggman vs Bowser will be the real deal.

They can also apply to cards and players, I imagine verse equalization would make jewels work on other items too.

Granted, they DID accept that, but even then that was hardly what was mentioned for the most part tho…
Then again, I guess they wanted to do a Deku vs Asta and make it seem closer than it really is for some reason

It's a thing DB tends to do, they'll often not use the highest ends for the winner if their low ends are all that's needed to win. It's basically to throw the loser a bone.

Figured. Let’s see what’s in the upcoming DB then…

So, traveling between timelines physically is not immeasurable speed right?

Apparently so

That’s weird, in theory that can’t be done with quantifiable speed cuz of the dimensional gap.

Believe so, yes

It's impossible to not have bias within oneself. If you like stuff, then by default, you have bias.

........what really? They were?

I feel like it would be good to give an example of them saying this, as an accusation without a source just feels like a rumor to be honest.

Like I said it was just something several people brought up in the DB discussion thread when one of their casts or Q&A's came out, it's like the only thing I remember from the time besides Weekly clogging up the thread with a thousands post arguing that Ryuko actually beats Shadow.

Dude, you just triggered a series of memories I had lodged in consciousness and made me remember the weeks Weekly spent in the DB Discussion Thread trying to argue that Ryuko beats Shadow for dubious and borderline nonsensical reasons.
Though I think Weekly was especially at his best whenever he was in a thread involving RWBY, the lengths he would go to arguing W's for RWBY characters were popcorn consumption levels of entertainment.

Interesting how he pops out of a white hole after getting sucked in, which is one of the theories for what would happen if you were to somehow survive getting sucked through a black hole. I thought Knuckles already resisted black holes on his profile, but if anything, this seems like support for 4-B Adventure base forms, right? Can you convert this to Imgur please? I can add it to my next CRT as a minor addition.
Speaking of which, I still have a lot of profiles to edit with the new revision lol. I just can't get into it due to how much stuff I'm working on and the limited amount of time I have on my laptop. Sorry Shake, but I won't be of much help with it for some time.
I thought the same thing at first, but verse equalization flies in the face of that, unless you have proof I'm not aware of.
- 9,150
- 5,692
Yes.
True. That's what I am saying. It can't be denied Death Battle is biased if powerscaling is subjective.
- 2,661
- 1,483
I agree, but then what's your point with the sun disc? Is it subjective or is it objectively wrong to you?
MysticMania
He/Him- 1,038

My point, as well, is that claiming bias does not matter, as all living beings inherently are.
- 9,150
- 5,692
It's proof Death Battle can make certain characters lose if they really want to. So, bias.

I don't mean this rudely but they didn't "make" Bardock lose, anymore than anything that ever decides a winner and loser. They sure did decide they feel Bardock loses, but, no alternative to decision besides indecision and drawing out of a hat, really.

Everyone has at least some degree of personal bias effecting them in VS Debates.
It's something not everyone's ready to hear or realize, but it's true.

The only way you can screw up with a calc like the Sun Disk is on purpose, so they purposely made Bardock lose, yes.

I'm bad at math, so I assure you I can screw up the sun disc very unintentionally.
- 9,150
- 5,692
Nope. You have to purposely wank it and assume everything on its highest end to get results even near Death Battle's.

Honestly Death Battle being so grossly incompetent they can't even do a calc right isn't much better than they being biased.
- 383
- 285
I agree with the sentiment but I'd just like to say that we're the people who made moving a chunk of the earth a high 4C feat. So I don't think we have much ground to stand on here.
- 9,150
- 5,692
Tbf at least we explain that with the planet being huge. I don't think the Sun Disk had any real explanation.
- 2,661
- 1,483
Their explanation is that the Disc would have to be this huge is order to cover up the sun of a planet implied to be even more massive than Viltrum (as indicated by the aliens on it being superior to Viltrumites as a mere by-product of having adapted to its gravity. Can't say I agree since I'm bad at math too, but they did have a reasoning.
This is no different from Dragon Ball calcs that are nowhere near as controversial for some reason, except we have more of a leg to stand on. The continente moved at sub-relativistic speeds, and 0.5% of the "star piercing power" of the Eclipse Canon is explicitely only enough to destroy a city on that planet. This, on top of its multiple moons and large islands explicitely invisible from orbit.

This still doesn't reach as high as the calc actually did.
- 383

I guess so but there's a small error there. The eclipse canon at the time wasn't powered by the emeralds since Sonic was in his super form so it wouldn't be 0.5% of the star piercing power. But the canon can still destroy the world without emeralds according to Geralds journal so your point still stands.
Also this is irrelevant but it's crazy that silver swatted away a city evaporating death ray like an absolute boss and still got knocked out by room sized explosion.

Verbatim said to be how much power the cannon had to shoot

Nevermind your right turns out I was reading a poorly translated version lol. On the topic of math it's funny that 1/200th the power to blow a hole through the sun is city level according to that story.

Spectacle-wise it's the best Sonic DB,by far. All the others are kinda jank in one way or another.
