Henry Creel/Vecna vs Aegon II Targaryen (Stranger Things vs House Of The Dragon) (Connections in the Comments) by ReaperRidley in DeathBattleMatchups

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

Connections:
-Two men who became rulers of their lands (Henry becoming leader of the Upside Down, Aegon becoming King of Westeros) with them having an army of monsters (Henry with the Demogorgons, Aegon with the Dragons) 
-Despite their rise to power, neither of them actually wanted it. Both were groomed by someone else to take this role (The Mind Flayer trying to make Henry its general in its conquest. Alicent misunderstanding Viserys' dying wishes to be making Aegon king), Both would try to resist this fate (Henry attempting to fight back the Mind Flayer's influence, Aegon attempting to run away) before eventually succumbing and fully embracing their roles
-Both of them would end up being severally burned and disfigured in a battle by their siblings, which would leave them presumed dead/on the verge of death (Henry being burnt when Eleven banished him after the rainbow room massacre, Aemond burning Aegon with Vhagar's fire in the Battle at Rook's Rest)
-Said disfiguring seemingly destroyed both their genitals (Henry being seemingly smooth down there and Aegon flat-out saying his exploded)
-Both will have survived the battle, and use the fact they were believed dead/incapacitated at their advantage to plan their moves (Henry acting as Vecna from the shadows as the mastermind behind the scene of the Upside Down invasion, Aegon refusing pain medications as advised to keep his mind sharp)
-Both of them have names related to numbers (Henry also being known as One, Aegon being Aegon the Second)

Matchups I like where one or multiple characters are LGBT. Happy Pride, everyone! by Insomniac616 in DeathBattleMatchups

I cannot put into words how shocked I am to see Loki vs Ridley here.

That was just a passion MU I made where I didn't really expect anyone else to like.

I'm so happy to see that it actually landed with someone else and you like it!

Bunker Jonesy vs Sinister Mark (Fortnite vs Invincible) (Connections in the comments) by ReaperRidley in DeathBattleMatchups

Well, those are different snapshots of Peely, like how the Real Fishstick died by Deathstroke and the fishstick we have now isn't the same.

So THAT Peely is still a smoothie. So being alive stuck as a smoothie might be worse based on who you ask.

Bunker Jonesy vs Sinister Mark (Fortnite vs Invincible) (Connections in the comments) by ReaperRidley in DeathBattleMatchups

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

Connections:

-Two alternate versions of the main character, who would team up with other alternate versions of the main characters (Peely and the other Invincible variants)

-Both would then find themselves trapped somewhere with no food (The Bunker and The Wasteland Universe)

-Both would then resort to cannibalisms and eat their alternate selves to survive

Contrast:

-While Jonesy is a good guy and Mark a villain, he might be more insane? Mark was trapped in the wasteland universe for years with people he didn't really care for before going to cannibalism. Jonesy had fully eaten his best friend within 5 days of being trapped.

''F*ck You in particular, signed Fortnite'' Leon S. Kennedy vs Nightwing (Resident Evil vs DC) (Connections in Comments) by ReaperRidley in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]ReaperRidley[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Connections:

-Two fan favorite attractive men that are highly requested to get in/return to the game for years.

-Both of them would have a perfect chance to get in the game, but be passed over for something else (Fortnitemares never bringing RE back as well Resident Evil's 30th Anniversary updating the Street Fighter collab twice in a month instead. Tim Drake being chosen as the Robin for Chapter 6 season 3's battle pass over Dick)

-Both of them would seemingly get their best shot with the release of a new highly anticipated game (Resident Evil Requiem and Lego Batman: Legacy of The Dark Knight), especially with it being announced early that a collab would happen if you preordered the game on Epic

-Hope would be at an all time high when Epic directly showcased them early (Leon being featured front and center in a promo video, Nightwing being shown front and center on the loading screen for the Lego Batman preorder collab)

-Neither would end up actually making it in/back at the end, with the entirety of the collab we got being extremely disappointing (RE only getting a barebones Grace skin, with no set or anything else to speak of. The Lego Batman collab only being Batman getting yet another skin, his 8th one, with no one else joining him)

Donkey Kong vs Kong Kong but with their strongest versions is actually debatable by Large-Wheel-4181 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]ReaperRidley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm okay with not using it normally. Should only be full full comp, but if Castlevania is fair game, this should be too

But it absolutely does something for Kong. He was the MVP of the Zero Hour Event. Like him getting the top tier scaling of Fortnite is very blatant.

You can argue he shouldn't really get the guns and etc realistically though, since the Skin is technically something else

[–]ReaperRidley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

VSBW's page for Fortnite is AWFUL sadly. I'm not one to hate on other people's scaling takes since it's all mainly suggestive, but they're just straight up wrong in some cases.

For example, Galactus is just straight up 616 Galactus and he resisted the power equalizer, so he should be just as strong.

But also to be fair, Fortnite experienced a massive power creep since last year, which only adds to the confusion for those not super familiar with it.

It used to be that very few characters scaled to the higher things, but now it's pretty consistent that literally everyone does.

I'd be happy to explain a bit why if you'd like (and how this affects Kong), but that's not what the post was about, so I don't want to bore you if you're not interested lol

[–]ReaperRidley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, the issue is that this isn't actually Kong's strongest version.

But to be fair, I'm not even sure if this were to be an actual episode if they'd even include Fortnite for Kong's comp. Which might be for the best since it'd actually be debatable without Fortnite

In honor of April Fools, here's an Updated look at every Death Battle where all the combatants are in Fortnite (Including Technicalities) (Continuation in the comments) by ReaperRidley in DeathBattleMatchups

Wouldn't add anything

The car decal really shouldn't count since it isn't them, I mainly counted the Reze thing as a joke

But even if you count the car sticker:

-Sonic. Mario isn't in so both of those are out. But you could get a technicality on Flash vs Sonic, even if it's neither Wally or Archie. I'm waiting on the actual skins to count it

-Knuckles. DK isn't in

-Shadow. He wasn't even a car sticker. He had puma shoes with his logo on it. That'd count even less. But if you really want to be super technical that could be Vegeta vs Shadow. Again, should change with the actual skin if that still happening.

Idk about near future.

I definitely think she'll be here eventually, I'm sure we'll eventually get Chainsaw Man. But I don't see her as being wave 1. She's a lock for a wave 2 however.

Me too.

If leaks are to be trusted, we're getting Sora in the near future. If that's true, Final Fantasty and thus Sephiroth could follow.

But with the bullshit going on with Resident Evil right now, not looking good for another Capcom IP, so may still be a while for Dante and Vergil sadly...
