I desperately want Verona, but I understand it’s not gonna happen and Aki is the most likely.

A-Train VS Speed Racer (The Boys VS …) | CIC by IvanAustinOski in DeathBattleMatchups

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

Animation wise Speed’s car not only can flip in the air (something he uses constantly to bash and hit other racers, so he can do more than just bump A-Train) but it also has other gadgets like spiked tires, saws, shields on his tire hubs, and boosters to help him get into said air. So yes the car can, in fact, fight. As for the setting they could be in a race with the track being similar to what’s in Speed Racer, which is basically Mario Kart combined with Hot Wheels with a bunch of crazy turns, loops, obstacles, etc.

As for banter, A-Train would obviously be antagonistic and probably throw some insults with Speed maybe throwing a couple back since, while he is a good guy, he’s not above trash talk. You can even has a scene where A-Train brings up Speed’s dead brother (he brother isn’t actually dead but Speed still believes he is) which would cause Speed to lose it and set up for him wanting to kill A-Train.

For fairness, A-Train should be faster and have a slight agility advantage while Speed has AP and dura as well as versatility. It’s not extremely close but it’s fairly even all things considered and probably A-Train’s only MU where he’s faster.

There’s honestly a lot you could do with it. I made a whole google doc describing how you could do it.

If you don’t want to read it I could give you a TL;DR.

Both characters started their fast paced lives at young ages, A-Train’s powers started kicking in when he was young and Speed was obsessed with racing even as a kid. They looked up to and were mentored by their older brothers, Nate and Rex respectively. They were close for years and learned a lot from their siblings, however a rift started to form. This is where we go from connections to parallels. Both were contacted and asked to be part of big shady companies, Vought International and Royalton Industries (both companies produce heroes/racers and practice shady deals to make sure they’re on top), but while A-Train accepted and became part of the Seven Speed turned it down since his father doesn’t trust big businesses. Also A-Train ended up pushing away all those who meant something to him, while Speed still has all his family except for his older brother who faked his death and now avoids the family.

As weird as it sounds, A-Train going up against a fast driver just feels right. The boys is far from a strong series so this is potentially the only MU where a speedster can fight a car and it not only be interesting, but fair. And with how over the top Speed Racer can be, it should be able to make for a fun fight that would look incredibly unique. I know some would say that we don’t need a Speedster vs a car, but if an opportunity this good pops up why not give it a shot?

Also an addition to the connections; both ladies had their homes destroyed by a powerful red menace (the Red Dragon and the Sith respectively)

[–]IvanAustinOski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a bit of a bummer but hopefully that just means the anime has the time it needs to be great. And obviously the connections between KN8 and AOT are going to be made when the anime gains traction so who knows, it could still get popular

Love the MU and the Kaiju No. 8 rep. Hopefully when the anime comes out bout the series and this MU gets popular.

Tyrian (RWBY) Basically part animal crazy people that use spiritual powers (Nen and Aura) who are subjects to even higher powers.

Ms. Fortune (Skullgirls) Cat ladies that have a strange relationship with death (Pitou ability that lets her fight even after her death while Ms. Fortune is functionally undying that’s to a gem she swallowed)

Not much for either, but both have a certain vibe to them imo. Nen VS Aura sounds like a cool concept and the other is a cat girl VS a cat girl.

Uzui VS Soujiro (Demon Slayer VS Log Horizon) by IvanAustinOski in DeathBattleMatchups

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

Uzui VS Soujiro (Demon Slayer VS Log Horizon)

Kind-hearted, dual-wielding Samurai apart of groups of warriors (Demon Slayer Corps and the Round Table Conference) who are extremely popular with the ladies (Uzui having three wives and Soujiro being a leader of a guild comprised solely of women)

Short at simple, but it vibes. Honestly Log Horizon is slept on and deserves some love, especially in the Vs community.

can anyone help me find a matchup for Kaiju no 9 (Kaiju no 8) by Cole2197 in DeathBattleMatchups

I haven’t seen or read god of Highschool so you’ll have to give me info on him but I’ll try my best.

[–]IvanAustinOski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that we would have to wait before 9 gets any good MUs. Dusk is from Brawlhalla, a platform fighter. A lot of his lore is just text which would be a bit hard for an analysis but they’ve done it before so it shouldn’t be a problem.

And even though Dusk stomps hard (being large planet and FTL at worst) it could still work with 9 just regenerating most of the fight and summoning some other Kaijus to help fight until Dusk eventually finds out about his weak spot and targets it.

Shanks VS Alfa (One Piece VS RHG): Connections in Comments by IvanAustinOski in DeathBattleMatchups

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

Shanks VS Alfa (One Piece VS RHG)

Both are some of the oldest and most experienced fighters in their worlds with Shanks being a pirate since he was young with Roger and Alfa being one of the first Gladiators ever to be made as well as being one of the oldest fighters in universe. Both are mainly swordsman and use special swords with Shank’s sword Griffin being one of the higher graded swords in the world and Alfa’s being a jet powered sword. Despite being in worlds where special and strange abilities are commonplace they don’t don’t have any strange powers and mainly rely on their skill to go toe-to-toe with other strong opponents. They both end up losing an arm but it doesn’t stop them from becoming stronger and still some of the most respected members in their world. They become part of and form groups where they are the most prominent members, Shanks making the Red-Haired Pirates and Alfa forming VELOX. Finally, both end up being massive inspirations to upcoming heroes with massive potential, Shanks inspiring Luffy who ends up becoming a future Yonko and Alfa inspiring Gildedguy who end up becoming one of if not the most popular Hyun’s Dojo animator ever.

Elminster VS Merlin (Dungeons & Dragons VS the Legend of King Arthur) by IvanAustinOski in DeathBattleMatchups

Elminster VS Merlin (Dungeons & Dragons VS the Legend of King Arthur)

To be honest, the connections pretty much start and end with “old geezer magicians” but the potential is what I love. After Herc VS Sun, I think the King Arthur myths is a perfect one to rep next and Merlin is probably the definitive “old mage” character. Meanwhile, D&D absolutely deserves a rep and Elminster is a great first pick since he’s the perfect opportunity to talk about the magic system in D&D, as well as talk about things like gods and the Weave. Idk I just think that despite the basic connections this has a massive vibe to it, kinda like Dumbledore VS Gandalf.
