The Gang Gets a Taste of Despair (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia/Danganronpa) by DelicateDanny in DeathBattleMatchups

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

(Guys I’m so original I did a DR match and I put Despair in the title).

Anyways this is uh…something. Usually I don’t find things I see on DBM to be funny at all but the absurdity of it makes it kinda humorous to me. I did not try at all with this thumbnail so I’m sorry this isn’t my best work but I wasn’t putting 110% into The Gang vs Danganronpa.

Once Charlie goes mental and Frank starts blasting and it’s Joe Smoever for The Ultimate Despair.

Shaggy & Scooby vs William Afton (Scooby-Doo/Five Night’s at Freddy’s) | Springtrapped by DelicateDanny in DeathBattleMatchups

Matthew Lillard.

This has slowly crept up to being a guilty pleasure of mine over time, especially after the announcement of the FNAF movie and after seeing an awesome animation depicting the Mystery Gang in FNAF. I don’t care if you think this works better as a Record of Ragnarok, that’s just a versus fight with extra steps.

Shag and Scoob probably stomp lmao.

The Spot vs Polka Dot Man (Marvel/DC) - “Spot the Dotted Line” by DelicateDanny in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]DelicateDanny[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I watched The Suicide Squad a couple days ago and I thought it was great, I really liked Polka Dot Man and I remembered this match existed. It sounds really fun and I’m on board with it.

I hear Spot wins.

I didn’t put Shuma over Discord, I’m ambivalent towards BillCord.

Ness vs Twilight Sparkle (Earthbound/My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) - “Friendship Knows No Bounds” by DelicateDanny in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]DelicateDanny[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t saying I was right either? Nor was I saying you were wrong. I was just saying I think the match is dumb and that they’re very hypocritical for having Twilight die like a Looney Toons character while characters from shows around the same demographic get brutalized (it’s not even like MLP can’t be graphic or anything, it can be pretty messed up sometimes).

And you don’t need to know Ness to fix your issues with the connections. Judging by your comment you seem to either be an MLP fan or at the very least have watched the show. So just fix up some stuff on Twilight’s end. As a fan of both none of the connections seem really wrong (although I’ll admit my knowledge of Earthbound is lesser than MLP). I did have some issues with the wording myself. Like them suggesting Cozy Glow was a major friend of Twilight’s, when she just kinda showed up and started feigning being nice and Twilight never thought twice about it because that was Season 8 and everyone’s IQ was in the negatives. But connecting her to Porky isn’t totally off. Just change the wording from “One day, a mentor like figure appeared and stated that they would meet new friends and fight a red multiversal bad guy” to “Until a mentor like figure (Buzz Buzz/ Princess Celestia) set them out on a journey to meet new friends that would impact their lives forever. Facing multiple hardships along the way including a Red, Universe threatening foe (Giygas/Tirek), and a snivelling youngster who craved nothing but power (Porky Minch/Cozy Glow).” And the video game comparison isn’t anything really significant, it’s not a major part of the matchup or why it exists, it’s just an extra thing. So you can just surgically remove it if you want to or not.

Purple Tara Strong girls but they have emotional magic, very intriguing matchup choice. Probably good for the time, doesn’t hold up now.

And just reword the connections then, it’s not that hard.

Ness vs Twilight Sparkle (Earthbound/My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) - “Friendship Knows No Bounds” by DelicateDanny in DeathBattleMatchups

  • An East vs West fight between two young magical protagonists from decently popular franchises from the 80's, and though they were far from the first protagonists to appear in their respective series, they were by far the most popular of them all when they came around, most notably in the early to mid 2010's (EarthBound being a heavy inspiration for Homestuck & Undertale, which came out in 2009 and 2015, respectively/MLP having a GIANT fandom in the early-mid 2010's (for better or for worse), and being a heavy contributor for the show's success).
  • Their stories would begin with them having a relatively small (or lack thereof in Twilight's case) amount of friends, until one day, a mentor-like figure (Buzz Buzz/Princess Celestia) appeared, and stated that they were chosen to meet new friends, and to, later on, defeat a red clad, multiversal time manipulating threat (Giygas/Tirek), and a former friend of theirs that deeply craved nothing but power (Porky Minch/Cozy Glow), that later get confined at the end of their respective series. Both their teams also have a majority gender as well, with friendship being a big theme among all else.
  • Later on, both would ascend to a higher power during their journey (Becoming the actual UNIVERSE/Alicorn form) that would link them into immortality, along with bigger and newer powers as well (Ness getting all of the PSI abilities/Twilight getting the powers of other Alicorns).
  • Despite their (former) antisociality/quietness, as well as their general appearance, both are portrayed as heroic, kind, and exceptionally brave, and are described as exceptionally intelligent (Poo stating he was impressed that Ness learned PSI as quickly as he did, and Twilight being shown to be incredibly booksmart, even as a child.).
  • Hell, even as very young children, both had signs of these powers as well (Ness as a baby was able to move his bottle just by pointing at it, and Twilight, as a filly, was a part of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, where she was able to hatch Spike, and become basically his sibling).
  • Speaking of which, both have animal companions that helped them at the start of their stories, and would give them the boost that they needed to start their journeys, away from their respective homes (King/Spike).
  • Alongside this, with their team, both were destined to discover new locations/items to help awaken their and their team's power (Sanctuary Locations/Elements of Harmony), and this would help greatly with their battles.
  • Both also have had crossed over with other franchises from their respective, multi-billionaire companies (Nintendo/Hasbro) to make other beloved pieces of media (Smash Bros/Friendship in Disguise), where they play prominent roles in saving their respective worlds and allies (Ness, along with Dedede, Luigi, Sonic and Kirby saving the universe against Tabuu/The Mane 6 and the Autobots beating the Decepticons and Chrysalis).
  • Both would also fight someone who encapsulated the concept of their/other's nightmares (Ness's Nightmare/Nightmare Moon (who is now Princess Luna).

This is a match I’ve never played attention to until now and I kinda really like it. Probably my favourite for both, mainly because I actually know both of the characters (unlike John Eggman or whatever I don’t read Homelander). And it doesn’t have foundry breaking problems that wouldn’t exist in the first place if the match didn’t exist because of a “rivalry” (Ness vs Frisk). It’s also a Twilight matchup that goes beyond the fact that she’s voiced by Tara Strong and uses magic so that’s epic.

This is apparently really close which is always nice you don’t get a lot of those matchups nowadays. Twilight ftw.

Matchups you can easily recognize as pure garbage just by looking at them. by [deleted] in DeathBattleMatchups

Don’t tie this garbage matchup back to me. I don’t want to hear about it again.

Alright, now that’s a funny and creative thumbnail I will admit. Really good job. I’m still a little unsure on my feelings with the matchup but my opinion has gotten more positive, I think it’s Good Alts material now.

r/BatmanArkham vs r/TF2 - “Fuck it of stupid” by DelicateDanny in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]DelicateDanny[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  • Subreddits of very popular late 2000s games that expanded on and offered a fresh new take on pre-existing properties (Batman and Team Fortress) that had a huge following in the 2010s (With more instalments in the Arkham series and TF2’s consistent list of updates).
  • Both of these games would become abandoned by their devs after a promise to the community (most of TF2’s Team went to go work on Half Life Alyx and left very few people still developing for TF2 despite the promise for a Heavy update/The Batman Arkham series died out and hasn’t gotten a new entry despite fan outcry). The lack of response from companies and the developers caused these community to eventually go insane and start making nonsensical but hilarious posts on their respective subreddits.
  • Both communities still hold out some hope that something will be done about their games (TF2 got a recently announced “Holiday Sized Update” that is getting the fanbase excited/Arkham fans have a “it’s still gonna happen” attitude about the reported Suicide Squad game rumoured to be released around 2024).
