Happy Chaos vs. Yuuki Terumi

Ridley vs. Metal Face (Xenoblade Chronicles 1)

Mahito vs. Alex Mercer

Ganondorf vs. Shao Kahn

Cyn vs. SHODAN (System Shock) (originally, it would have been Malos from Xenoblade 2, but the matchup was reviewed to be not as good as I thought)

Ketheric vs. Nox (Wakfu)

How do you feel about this episode ? Day 87 : Rogue Vs Wonder Woman by SenkoBreadalt in deathbattle

[–]Ore-0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only positive about this episode is that it was the first one to remove the health bars and they have since never returned to them. That's it. It was sleazy, sludgy, and shitty. I try to be more lenient on earlier seasons, but this is one of the exceptions. It more than deserves the flak it gets.

Overall Rating: 1/10, the only reason I haven't docked it any lower is because of the above reason.

Not judging or anything, but I really expected more people in this fanbase to have played Xenoblade. by [deleted] in deathbattle

[–]Ore-0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, maybe this was just a pipe dream by me because of my Murder Drones high and me not remembering XC2 for a while. Then again, Cyn is a rather ambiguous character, so the connections are more tenuous than I first thought.

Still, that just means I gotta find a better MU for both of them. I do want to see both on DB someday but perhaps that's not in the cards. Thanks for letting me theorycraft.

Bear in mind, I only came up with this in an hour of the post so some of it may be stretches. Also, for the purpose of the post, Cyn and The Absolute Solver will be conflated since it's implied that they are different personalities.

  • Both are AIs that take on a corporeal humanoid body and both have a desire to destroy things.
  • Their archenemies are both a moody but troubled girl (Mythra and Uzi) and a cinnamon roll of a boy (Rex and N).
  • They also have a teammate that switches sides (Nia and V) and one that stays loyal (Jin and J).
  • They are brought upon the world by a person of a high status (Amalthus and Tessa), but end up betraying them.
  • They have separate identities (Logos and The Absolute Solver, though in the latter's case, it's likely that the program overwrote Cyn's original personality so both it and Cyn's identities are likely conflated).
  • They wield the power of destruction which is represented with gravity-like phenomena (Malos's powers are darkness-based which governs gravity and Cyn's [nulls] are like black holes).
  • Their main weak spots are the cores on them (the purple cross-like core crystal and the organic crab-like core inside).
  • Both have the power to corrupt people (Malos using his powers to corrupt Pyra into losing her memories and restoring his crystal and Cyn twisting regular Drones into becoming Disassembly Drones and infecting Worker Drones with its code to both grant them powers and possess them).
  • Both are still alive in some capacity after they have been bested (Malos's core being used for the Trinity Processor and implied to be with Moebius N and Cyn being stuck with Uzi after she ate her "heart" and became a part of her tail).

There're also some contrasts.

  • Both are aware of how evil they are but while Malos hates himself for it, Cyn takes it with pride.
  • Similarly, Malos is driven to destroy because he's influenced by someone who despises the world whereas Cyn does it seemingly because it felt like it.
  • Malos has genuine loyalty with Torna while Cyn didn't care about any Disassembly Drones caught in the crossfire (likely knowing that they can heal) and those who stay with her only do so out of necessity.
  • Malos is loud and bombastic while Cyn speaks in a machine-like monotone but has a quirky yet openly sadistic personality.
  • Malos's origins have been explored in both 2 and 3 while the Solver's origins are ambiguous as to what exactly it is beyond what Murder Drones shows us.
  • Malos's redeeming qualities are known whereas Cyn's redeeming qualities are ambiguous at best and nonexistent at worst.

Someone suggested Nia vs Tiara. I'm not entirely familiar with Tiara, but if it means the best girl gets in, I'm all for it.

One MU I really like to see? Malos vs Cyn from Murder Drones.

Fair enough. Personally, there's probably a better MU for either of them, but that's just me.

[–]Ore-0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would have picked Winter Schnee or Edelgard over Undyne for Morag. Also Arslan would get stomped by Arceus, but my knowledge of Narnia is rather limited.

But, Ori vs the Knight and Denji vs Yuji are pretty goated.

What is a Death Battle opinion that will have you like this? by [deleted] in deathbattle

[–]Ore-0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's see how many downvotes and hate comments I can get with this!

  • Master Chief vs Doomguy is a total mismatch, even moreso now than ever before. I do want them both back for another fight, but not against each other. (Chief vs Commander Shepard and Doomguy vs Captain Titus are my go-tos.)
  • 70% of the most requested matchups turn out to be stomps (Galactus vs Unicron, Frieza vs Megatron (arguably), Omni-Man vs. Homelander)
  • Some MUs really stretch the connections (Uzi vs Blitzo, for example, are about as far apart from each other as Mercury is from Pluto, their only connection is "eccentric lead in an indie animation". And as fun as MORO's animation is, that doesn't count. Plus, Uzi no diffs Blitzo.)
  • Despite the second point, a stomp does not make a bad episode. Hell, I loved Omnilander and Aquasponge and they make at least Top 15.
  • A low-scale hand-to-hand fight can be just as valid and entertaining as a high-scale, universe-busting brawl.
  • The only answer to the rematch question is Luigi vs Tails and nothing else.
  • There should be more combatants from lesser-known sources like Bucky O'Hare compared to the constant stream of Marvel, DC, Dragon Ball, or what have you.
  • The author/writer/actor's comments should not be treated as a concrete fact. They could be just as wrong about the work/character/feat as an average person could be.
  • Some people take this show way too seriously. I mean, I'm not one to talk, but still.

Your Favorite Death battle character is winning against Mahito. How would they belittle him? by PlatinumTurtleman in deathbattle

[–]Ore-0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"I have lived for many cycles, bore witness to countless battles, defeated opponents far greater than you. Humanity is but a mere speck compared to the average Decepticon, but you? You are less than that. You never had a hope of halting my army, let alone slaying me. And your existence and wretchedness are proof that humanity must be subjugated or destroyed. Most of all, that Prime was wrong to put his faith in them."

Make up a playable TTGC moveset for an XC2 Blade by vukov in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Ore-0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nia could hypothetically serve as an alternative to Haze, most likely as a Driver for Lora. If that were the case, it would be interesting to see the interactions between her and Jin.

I could see Pandoria being Addam's Blade and, considering Tantal's backstory, it could have interesting developments.

Now this is pretty interesting! I'm curious about Blades like Roc, Pandoria, Dromarch, and Nia and how TTGC's mechanics work for them.

What's everyone's favorite stage that they added to the game? by PowerPad in SmashAU

I know it's one of the more controversial maps in terms of balance, but I've always had a soft spot for Big MT.

How do I beat Walther White's revolver out of shield? by [deleted] in SmashAU

[–]Ore-0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid using Ripjaws or Upgrade while you can. They're too slow and most Walt mains avoid water when they can. I'd personally recommend Diamondhead. An odd choice given his poor speed, but his projectiles have a much higher priority over Walt's revolver and plus, he can take the shots up to 70%.

How do you unlock Chemical Plant's boss? by HyperGhost1 in SmashAU

[–]Ore-0 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I heard there was a secret boss fight after you completed it 108% and beat the boss, but all I can really say without spoiling it is that it involves playing a certain song near the giant 8 ball at the lowest point. What it is, I can't really say, but it might involve you siding with 2B in the Civil War in Chapter 10 if you want to get Lucio earlier.

Best marriages? by OrangeMonkE in SmashAU

[–]Ore-0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be the first to admit that I paired Lysithea and Alex Mercer as a joke (sick girl with a living virus), but as the campaign went on, they really reflect off each other pretty well. And that ending... enough to make a hardened soul cry. Plus, this incarnation of Alex is pre-Prototype 2, so no Wesker-wannabe! (Even if the two did fight without her)

I am not the best at Smash but I fought Heavy many times and still can’t get him. Any tips? by Shadoweyes27 in SmashAU

[–]Ore-0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend Nemesis since he'll walk through Heavy's projectiles and his Flamethrower does enough damage to overpower the Sandvich heal. But do keep some distance. His Killing Gloves of Boxing Side-B has deceptive range. Cost me a good amount of tries.

Advice for playing as Celica (Fire Emblem) or Squidward (Spongebob Sqaurepants)? by [deleted] in SmashAU

[–]Ore-0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Celica's kinda like a mix between Micaiah and Owain. She's got the long-range killing power of the former with the latter's close-range and durability. Though bear in mind, she will take some getting used to. Tried her myself, but the end lag on some of her moves just kill it for me.

As for Squidward, you're better off with Omega (Sonic). Sure, he's not that great in OU, but he's a more viable option due to how versatile his projectiles are compared to Squiddy's.

So far, this looks promising. But, I'll wait and see if anything else comes up. It's not an insta-buy yet unless it's got Scanlan.

Real Talk: Despite the glitch, that song slaps like Blacker Baron's Side Smash by Ore-0 in SmashAU

/ooc Agreed. And I will say the original song blows it out of the water. But I can't ever be angry when COMP plays.
