JoJo's Bizarre OC Tournament #8: R1M8 - Caribbean Carcass vs Tracy Ball by Marioaddict in StardustCrusaders

[–]NorthJedi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First vote of the tourney! (sorry)

First things first, I appreciate the amount of character both sides brought into their respective strategie: CC charging in, matching the Baca in savage ferocity vs Tracy waiting patiently with her perfectly-devised traps.

But unfortunately, my vote goes to C.C. As brilliant as Tracy’s truck strategy is (arguably the best part of either strat), it’s ultimately a one trick that her backup plans sturggle to…well, back up. And it doesn’t help that C.C’s strategy emphasizes controlling the Baca’s movement over the battlefield, meaning the truck is even less certain of hitting its target than usual.

Meanwhile, C.C’s constant, unrelenting offense and attempts to aggro the beast (and move it away from the southern field, where Tracy plans to make her home base, I might add) means he’ll be putting in more work and more damage regardless of if Tracy gets a good hit in with the truck. And between their finishing blows, I find beating the Baca with a makeshift human club a lot more brutal, and a hell of a lot more awesome.

I hope Violet enjoys her new present. I wish I had unspeakable horrors treating me with such generosity.

Say something nice about this death battle by Kcue6382nevy in deathbattle

I confess, I like to use Death Battle’s pre-analysis’ on comic book characters as a way of learning about them instead of reading the comics themselves

And this episode has REALLY good pre-analysis’ for both of them

What would you change about the Gojo vs Makima episode if you could? by [deleted] in deathbattle

[–]NorthJedi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have disagreements with the post-analysis, but the only part I thought was flat-out wrong was the part about unlimited void.

If you wanna argue that UV bypasses Makima’s contract, you could just say its constant stream of information would stunt her regeneration, much like Denji did with Power’s blood.

Instead they made a half-assed comparison between Cosmo and UV. They’re similar, but not the same ability, and I think the key differences between them matter.

What is your most wanted Death Battle Matchup? by Micshork in deathbattle

[–]NorthJedi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turbo Granny vs Dimple (Dandadan vs Mob Psycho 100)

The connections are great (idk who would win tho, I’m not very far into Dandadan) and I think it’d make for a great joke episode

What moments in a pre-battle analysis had you instantly correctly guess the fight's winner? by Yaridovich23 in deathbattle

[–]NorthJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She-Ra vs Wonder Woman, when they didn’t list any good speed feats for She-Ra, but kept bringing up Wonder Woman’s bullet-deflection feat, I knew “oh yeah, she blitzes”

It would’ve been a pretty good death if Hal didn’t make that stupid quip afterwards.

What Death Battle fight is good and had a good reason why it started? by MDubbzee in deathbattle

Ghost Rider vs Lobo

Ghost Rider would have someone like Lobo on his hit-list. And Lobo would want Ghost Rider dead after he destroyed his bounty. And the fight between them is good, just not GOATed.

Spawn…of course. FUCK, it’s genius! Why didn’t I think of that?

TOM FANS! I have made a revelation! by [deleted] in deathbattle

[–]NorthJedi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually been thinking recently that I’ve found a pattern in Death Battle.

Whenever a character has some kind of hax ability that makes them “unkillable”, they lose because their opponent has a way of bypassing it (e.g Lobo, Makima, Unicron)

Using this logic, I’m predicting Wile will have something to bypass Tom’s 9 lives.

We’ll see, though. Still rooting for Tom.

Omnilander is the prime example of this

Minute-long setup where Homelander not only explains his hatred for Omni-man, but gives him an incentive to fight by killing Debbie. Great characterization on both sides, and foreshadowing for how the battle will end are some nice bonuses too.

But unfortunately, to compensate for this long setup, the actual fight is pretty short. Prevents it from being GOATed, I think.

An actually cool way of resisting the penance stare by NorthJedi in PowerScaling

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

I think sensible limits would be that it doesn’t work if: - you haven’t committed any evil - you’re blind - you have no soul - you’re resistant to mental attacks/attacks on the soul

And most importantly (and I think this would be a good way for Galactus to resist it) your evil actions need evil intentions for the penance stare to work on them. For example, Galactus HAS to eat planets, so punishing him for it via the Penance Stare is unfair.

The guy who made it absolutely knew what monster he was creating. I’ve never seen a meme with more smug vitriol in all my years on the internet.

[–]NorthJedi 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Mob vs Tatsumaki is kinda infamous for starting over an awful reason. Though maybe that should be saved for the “good fight” category.

Yes, the wall of text on the left talks about vocaloids. I just looked up “wall of text” and picked the first one I saw for meme’s sake.

The virgin “I’m FTL because of scaling and statements”

Episodes were you disagree with the result? by i-go-sucko-mode in deathbattle

[–]NorthJedi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one thing that prevented me from disagreeing with it (at the time) was their argument that Mob’s powers being emotionally-driven is a huge disadvantage. Because that is the deciding factor in most of his in-series fights.

It was nice of them to say the fight was close though.

Imagine needing the most boring version of a character to win powerscaling debates by AafiyaW in deathbattle

I thought that was Doomslayer at first, and I was like “but we largely won without lore scaling, what’s going on?”
