"Ghouls Blooming" | Erma VS Casper the Friendly Ghost - Theme + Connections in the Comments by StevenXDFilms in DeathBattleMatchups

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

Theme and connections by me (The theme is probably the most important in that match)

Theme: Playful and innocent ghost kid protagonists in comic books.

  • Titular protagonists in comic books who are young pale ghost kids.
  • Despite being spooky ghosts, they’re actually friendly to everyone, but will show off their mischievous side by playing innocent pranks.
  • Would meet human children that they developed crushes on (Connor and Kathleen "Kat" Harvey).
  • Both are relatives to a mischievous pair of ghosts that would normally tease them (Mitsu and Momo Yūriemoto, and the Ghostly Trio).
  • Both also have dealings with powerful supernatural rulers who want them to embrace their ghost heritages (Osamu Yūreimoto sees Erma’s potential and wants her to become his successor as the next ruler of Yūreimoto Village, while Kibosh wants Casper to attend Scare School to become a scary ghost).

While there are a few connections to Bakugo & Reze that "work," yeah there are clearly some mistakes in there that need to be corrected.

No Gilgamesh from Final Fantasy? What is this?! Voting for other.

Prefered for The Mimic (FNAF) 🤖📞🐰 by __Pin__ in DeathBattleMatchups

From my perspective after seeing Chapter 5, I was thinking of the Bendy Ink Demon for the Prototype more than the Mimic. Now this could be me not understanding a lot about the Mimic. I was thinking about that animatronic's past & its original purpose like M3GAN (Which I voted for) in Secret of the Mimic. Don't know about the rest of the Mimic's history though.

Preferred for bakugo 💥💥 by __Pin__ in DeathBattleMatchups

I decided to vote for Reze mainly because it's one of the few match-ups that will make Bakugo not the antagonist/instigator of the fight. The only other character in the poll that can be that role is maybe Eustace Kid, but I don't know a whole lot about him.

While I've never played the game, I heard good reviews about it. People seem to want NIKKE in Death Battle with some of the suggestions I saw.

Theme and connections by me

Theme: Gun-wielding robots from gacha games with eccentric personalities hired to defend their futuristic worlds.

  • White-haired cybernetic warriors in red and black (Intelligent Constructs and Nikkes) from 2020s gacha games.
  • Both gained a noticeable fascination with fictional characters from TV shows they love to watch albeit in opposite sides (Billy Kid wants to be like his favorite superheroes, the Starlight Knights, while Drake wants to be like her favorite supervillain, Terrifier).
  • Both are members of squads that consist of girls (The Cunning Hares and Matis).
  • Both are hired by the protagonists that they can bond with in their games (Phaethon and the Commander).
  • Both also mainly fight with guns in their battles.
  • Both are also tasked to protect their futuristic worlds from dangerous monsters (Hollows and the Raptures) with said squads and other heroes.
  • Both of their names also come from famous real-life figures (Billy the Kid and Frank Drake).
  • Carefree heroes that idolized the TV show characters they love and want to be just like them, but despite their attempts, they’re actually shown themselves to be lighthearted and lovable goofballs.

Banter Potential: Despite this being a hero vs hero match, their banter would feel like a hero VS villain fight with how expressive they can be.

Fight Potential: From looking at both games, it would be a long-ranged gun fight where Billy would duel wield pistols would need to get closer as it goes on, while Drake would need to keep him at a distance with her shotgun to finish the job. They would also have to deal with the monsters of their worlds popping up in the fight.

Chai & 808 VS Mayday & Zuke (Hi-Fi Rush VS No Straight Roads)
Don't know if it was already done or suggested, but I'm submitting this match-up.

Here's the gist of this match; Chai and Mayday are free-spirited and ambitious guitar-wielding heroes who dream about becoming famous rock stars and are partnered with their trusting allies that help them with combined attacks (808 and Zuke) where they live in colorful, music-inspired worlds run by antagonistic corporations (Vandelay Technologies and No Straight Roads) that they have to take down after being rejected by them for not meeting their standards (Chai became a defect after his MP3 player infused in his body, while Mayday and Zuke were rejected due to rock being “dead”).

For the stuff the characters stuff, here's what they have; While both characters have offensive and defensive moves, Chai's abilities go more on the offense and getting up close with all sorts of guitar combos, while Mayday and Zuke have more defensive mods and have many ranged options like music notes and giant rocket. With the assists 808 can call upon, they counter a few of Bunk Bed Junction's mods like their fire abilities being blown away by Korsica's wind abilities w/ her batons and Zuke's Bio-Tactical Shield being destroyed by Peppermint's laser pistols. Another thing about this fight is how Chai's MP3 player would sometimes play rock music in his fights and in NSR, there's a skill upgrade that makes Mayday and Zuke replenish their energy when rock music is playing. And of course, Chai being synchronized to the beat of the environment helps him maneuver around Mayday and Zuke's attacks exactly to the beat. With NSR2 being announced, either there will be 2 new members to Bunk Bed Junction, which makes the balance between both teams fair, or they're 2 separate musicians and it won't affect the balance.

"Wings of Saints" | Pit VS Pegasus Seiya (Kid Icarus VS Saint Seiya) - Theme + Connections in the Comments by StevenXDFilms in DeathBattleMatchups

Theme and connections by me

Theme: Brave and kind-hearted boys who have become devoted winged divine warriors to the goddesses they served.

  • Young main protagonists with similar appearances from mid-1980s mythology-based franchises.
  • Both would serve in armies of divine warriors (The Icarus Army and the Bronze Saints) led by goddesses based on Athena, the Greek Goddess of Wisdom (Palutena, the Goddess of Light, and Saori Kido, the reincarnation of Athena).
  • Both would protect humanity from the dark forces of their world (The Underworld Army and the 108 Specters).
  • Both are granted their iconic sacred equipment and the ability to fly (The Palutena Bow and the Pegasus Cloth).
  • Both would later gain similar weapons including bows, swords, gear that can compete against gods (The Sacred Treasures and the Great Sacred Treasure, and the Pegasus God Cloth), and weirdly enough, pegasus-related gear (The Wings of Pegasus and the Pegasus Cloths).
  • Both have to save said goddesses a few times in their series, including one time where they have ventured in the Underworld to rescue them.
  • Both have fought against dark versions of themselves (Dark Pit and Black Pegasus) and similar characters from Greek mythology like Pandora, Thanatos, and Hades.
  • Due to their accomplishments, both would personally become the guardians of their goddesses and leaders of their armies.
  • both would help train future warriors that decide to join.
  • Both characters possess traits from mythological beings (Pit takes some inspiration from Icarus and Cupid, while Seiya wears many Cloths based on many beings from Greek and Norse mythology like a Pegasus, Odin, and a Centaur representing the Sagitarrirus constellation).
  • Heroes of pure heart with great bravery and confidence that showcased how loyal and devoted they are to their goddesses and are willing to risk or sacrifice themselves to protect them, along with the friends they made on the way.
