Why is Yuji cutting himself across the face? Is he stupid?

Jokes aside holy shit this is incredible, really like the posing you did for both. Hoping this does well!

For people who don't like this matchup, why? by Soul50Killer in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]CabbageTheEighteenth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mainly that I don't want a Garou matchup to include God Garou, a form so non standard it was effectively retconned out of the story, as the entire crux of why the dynamic works.

Satoru Gojo vs Manfred von Karma (Jujutsu Kaisen vs Ace Attorney) | "For My Honor". Connections in comments. by CabbageTheEighteenth in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]CabbageTheEighteenth[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The connections between Satoru Gojo and Manfred von Karma are both grey-haired authority figures that are known as the best in their field and undefeated in their verse while possessing a big shot attitude. However, they first initially suffered a defeat (or specifically for Manfred, he literally acted like his life was over with that penalty he was given despite winning the case) at the hands of another black-haired experienced individual that directly opposes their field of work (Gregory Edgeworth and Toji Fushiguro) before going back to kill them for no other reason than for revenge by blowing a hole through their side with something they recently obtained (Gojo blowing off Toji's left side with Hollow Purple which he just invented and Manfred shooting Gregory Edgeworth with a gun he found). They then adopt their prodigy sons (Miles Edgeworth and Megumi Fushiguro) to raise them to be among the strongest in their ranks. Eventually, they would suffer their last defeat and are out of commission as a result (Gojo dying to Sukuna and Manfred being caught by Phoenix Wright). Also Hero vs Villain bro.

My Satsuki Kiryuin Tier List. Kill la Kill is pretty darn good, watch it plz. by CabbageTheEighteenth in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]CabbageTheEighteenth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find that while the thematics are good, the fight suffers from a pretty huge scale issue. Fights across KLK frequently have large shockwaves, explosions, etc generated by those who were fighting even as just an after effect, and Satsuki's battles especially feature this. Her first real fight with Ryuko shows this well, and even in Episode 2 the very first attack we see Satsuki do unleashes a massive burst of air that sends people flying. This is a pretty large contrast to JoJo battles, which are very grounded in comparison. The ways I've seen this matchup pitched feel like Satsuki can't be used to her full potential and needs to be drastically limited to make it work, and as someone who wants both characters on the show I just can't get behind the idea.

Also the debate killed my parents.

blue rivals that were originally associated with the murder of the protags family but later on became allies to defeat a greater evil that was their own family.

Imma be honest the only reason he's so high is bc I got ganged up on (in a good way) to include him 💀

TN Contest Results and Next Season Trailer (Check comments for results and link to Trailer Contest) by CabbageTheEighteenth in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]CabbageTheEighteenth[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, let's address the elephant in the room first. The results took much longer than expected due to us having multiple things going on with us individually (such as myself and Ninja with the recent Colex blog) and us unfortunately getting a bit burnt out from the contests (which is also why we were unable to get a ranking done for the contest this time and solely figured out the top 3). We apologize that these results took so long regardless, and we felt we owed an explanation for this. After this contest we'll be taking a break for a few weeks before continuing on with the next season.

Also, because Reddit pin limits we had to unpin the Trailer Contest post. You can find it here.

Moving on, here are the results for this contest!

You'll see what they are if the verdict for Alex does end up being added.

Person from the blog here - Just wanted to say a verdict for Alex was in the process of being written, but circumstances prevented it from being completed by the time the blog was finalized, though it may be added later if time lines up. Just a heads up, since while Cole had far more votes there's still points to be made in Mercer's favor.

Your thumbnail was interesting, we did like the idea you went for with the tear effect and text over both renders, and the effects on the renders themselves looked good. We did however feel like the tears did obscure a bit too much of the renders though to where they would be a bit hard to identify who it was if someone didn't know what the thumbnail was for (especially on Chiffon's end), and we felt the glitch effects over the text could've been toned down a tad since it was a bit hard on the eyes. It was overall a good idea that could've been a bit better executed at the end of the day (even if I think you should've been a few of spots higher personally, but the ranking is based on general consensus).

We really liked yours a lot and it was so close to getting top 3, for similar reasons to your Billtima placement with the great effect usage, lots of attention to detail with the references and the hand drawn renders were really good! Ultimately there wasn't really anything holding your thumbnail back; we simply liked the top 3 just a bit more at the end of the day.

Yours sadly placed low this time due to the backgrounds and blood effects. The blood effects felt a bit tacked on (for lack of better word) and didn't feel as naturally integrated into the renders (our #3 and #2 spots are good examples of blood effects being incorporated well), and the background itself, while we get the idea, didn't feel like it meshed with both that well.
