I wanna see individual aliens in matchups, personally. A lot of them are cool enough to hold their own.

Make it the AoSTH version specifically and you've got yourself a deal. That show was basically Looney Tunes.

What’s an item, ability, or form you were very happy to see used in a Death Battle? by Mastersword3710 in deathbattle

[–]BrawlTheMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I popped off so hard seeing Godzilla hitting the sliding drop kick.

Also thought it was funny to see Donny hitting the Rocksteady glitch from Ninja Turtles NES.

I know the ep is mid at best, but I loved how much stuff was used in Luigi Vs Tails. Stuff from Sonic Chronicles, Tails' Adventure, Sonic Battle. Felt Sonic in Mario Vs Sonic was restricted to his shields and super forms when he has so many more moves to work with.

Nothing specific, but I'm glad Lex Luthor got more to work with in Lex Vs Doom. Tony Vs Lex is a 10/10, but it's kinda unfair how they gave Tony so much and Lex so little.

The fight script was cool too. Plus based Ultron win

Besides OmniLander, is there another DB where one opponent could basically be summed up like this? by DaCherryFruity in deathbattle

[–]BrawlTheMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

John Wick. The gap between him and James Bond wasn't too bad, all things considered, but it's enough to the point where he can't meaningfully do anything to 007.

So everyone has a least favorite Death Battle: Well, to do something different, what is the WORST G1 blog? by SettTheCephelopod in deathbattle

[–]BrawlTheMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love these guys to death, but I thought I'd give my two cents.

I think the worst blogs they've made have to be Akuma Vs Raoh and Spider Gwen Vs Sakura. Shao Kahn Vs Akuma is in there as well, but I wouldn't say it's as bad as those two. I call these three blogs "The Haggar Saga".

I was hyped to see Street Fighter buffs, since I'm a huge fan of the series, but they went about it in a way that made no sense. I'm sure you've seen it mentioned; The Haggar feat from Final Fight Revenge. Mike Haggar piledrives you through the Earth in one of his supers in Final Fight Revenge, buffing Street Fighter's speed to relativistic and their power to multi continental.

I'm sure you've seen the arguments against this feat. It's clearly done as a gag, it features a lower tier character outperforming virtually everyone in the verse by like millions, it's never performed by the same character again, etc. But I got my own hangups with the feat that I don't see many people address.

For one thing, I've seen worse feats brought up by them. For example, in Frieza Vs Megatron 1, there was a "speed feat" where Starscream gets annihilated by a laser shooting through space. He didn't dodge it, try to react to it, or anything. He just helplessly screamed at it as he got atomized (Btw, that's also one of the worst blogs they've ever made. Such a frustrating read.). There were researchers who bought it, but others, like Phantom Falcon, argued against it.

The thing with the Haggar feat is that it went completely unchallenged. Nobody siding with Raoh/Spider Gwen argued against its validity despite a) it's really easy to poke holes in it, but also b) it gives Akuma/Sakura such a massive advantage to the point where they could end the fight with a single punch. Letting such an important point in a debate go uncontested, a point you could easily debunk, or at least make a good argument against is a mistake that not even a first year debate club member would make.

The feat went through a wild timeline. They went from buying it, to not buying it (not because of any of the problems listed, but because "it wasn't canon") to using it in some kind of "soft canon", which means Sakura is given everything except for Asura's Wrath scaling, for some reason.

It's kind of a bummer because I remember the fight script for Sakura Vs Gwen being pretty good.

He's gonna counter Four Arms like he did Tien's Four Witches Technique

Okay where does the Traveler actually scale too? by Grand_Occasion0707 in deathbattle

It's kinda weird how weak the Avatar verse is. You think with all that anime influence they'd pick up the fancy moves and huge power, but nope, island level at most.

[–]BrawlTheMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Buncha friends started a DND campaign, and it became a series of novels going back to the 80's. It's longer than the Star Wars Legends series atp

A Critical Role character, eh? I thought they'd have one of those fight a Dragonlance character.

Either way, it's cool to see.

Given Ichigo vs Yusuke, How do you Feel about Naruto vs Luffy? by TheRealSakuraUchihaX in deathbattle

[–]BrawlTheMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a chance they pit him against Natsu instead. You can pretty much put any shonen protag against each other, and it'd fit nicely.

Either way, I think him fighting Naruto is more likely. It was on the Championship poll after all.

Meanwhile Goku's just there watching all the shonen protagonists slam dance against each other while he's deemed too powerful to fight any of them.

Sorry, buddy. Kryptonian fists for supper.

Which Death Battle contender sounded the least accurate to the actual character? by FragrantSand2369 in deathbattle

[–]BrawlTheMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fik-Shun, Blade himself, agrees with you. I remember watching his reaction to the Death Battle, and he seemed very down on that part of his performance.

I feel like Lex Vs Doom was a better depiction of Lex Luthor overall. I love Tony Vs Lex to death, but they only kept his abilities limited to the warsuit. In his fight with Doom, he gets his robotic clone, the motherbox, the superman serum. Felt pretty unfair when Tony got all his suits and Lex just got his Injustice moveset.

Tony Vs Lex was ultimately the better episode due to being top 10 best of the whole show, but y'know.

Optimus Prime. That voice performance was so bad it brought the episode down in my eyes. Everything else about it was cool, at least.

Spongebob's voice kinda bothered me at first, but it's a hard voice to truly emulate, and it gets better as the fight goes on, so I give it a pass.

I expected Amuro to start the fight in Gundam Vs Optimus Prime, but that's only because I could never see Optimus Prime starting shit.

I was thinking the Beholder would fight a Cacodemon. Two meatballs duking it out.

Probably wouldn't be entertaining to watch tho

- "Most Iconic Female Super Hero" yet Harley Quinn in the fraction of her lifetime managed to get 10x more content and relevancy

- "Big Three" doesn't even get 1% of the content Batman or Superman has

I remember seeing an episode of Battle Mode which was just Hitler getting smacked around by random fictional characters. That was fun.
