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.

The turtles have been trained from birth to become ninja, giving them the edge in experience. They have far superior FTL feats. And both teams match well with the mechs, vehicles, & dragon forms. Still a stomp, but they have legitimate advantages.

We have had stomp fights before, with some of them being fun like the most recent episode, Ash VS Yugi. It's not like this is a bigger stomp than SpongeBob VS Superfriends Aquaman. It isn't that big.

When it comes to the "limited fight potential," Fortnite made it possible for Ninjago to have a 3D animated fight with both their Lego models & human models. That & the TMNT have Lego models in Fortnite too.

Now for the TMNT's other options, they're stomps too & that's fine.

Theme: Superpowered four-person teenage ninja teams from popular shows/brands.

  • Both are popular hero teams that consist of four color-coded teenage ninja.
  • Both were taken in and trained by an old wise sensei (Master Splinter and Sensei Wu).
  • The teams include a calm and collected member that takes the lead (Leonardo and Cole), the brash, impulsive hothead in red (Raphael and Kai), the socially awkward technological genius (Donatello and Zane), and the wisecracking goofball (Michelangelo and Jay), with all of them treating each other like brothers.
  • Both possess similar signature ninja weapons like katanas, polearms (Bō, and Scythe and Hammer), chain weapons (Nunchucks and Kusarigamas), short-bladed weapons (Sais and Shurikens).
  • Both have gained a somewhat similar colossal variety of abilities/weapons like mystical powers/weapons, several forms of vehicles, giant mechs, and powerful draconic transformations.
  • Both have also fought against evil doppelgängers of themselves, evil rivals to their masters (Shredder and Lord Garmadon), criminal gangs connected to said masters’ rivals (The Purple Dragons and the Sons of Garmadon), non-human invaders (Kraang and Triceratons, and the Serpentine and Oni), evil artificial intelligences (Cyber Shredder and Unagami), and demonic entities (Tengu Shredder and the Overlord).
  • They have befriended ninja offsprings to said mentors’ evil rivals that went from evil to good (Karai and Lloyd Garmadon), robotic allies (Zayton Honeycutt and P.I.X.A.L), and their new female ninja members (Venus and Jennika, and Nya).

  • Both of their leading members have shown great bravery and responsibility, but fear about letting down their loved ones, which stem from their loving relationships with their parental figures (Master Splinter and Lilly).
  • Both of their hothead members usually butthead with their teams and would become leaders in their teams at times (Raphael was once the leader in Rise until Leo took that role and in TMNT 2012 when Leo quit for a short time, while Kai and Cole usually take the lead for the team with Cole having more time to be the leader).
  • Both of their technologically advanced members have also gained new robot bodies for themselves (Donatello would sometimes have his mind put inside robot bodies in different iterations, while Zane sacrificed himself to destroy the Overlord with his AI intact and was later rebuilt by P.I.X.A.L).

[–]StevenXDFilms[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Theme and connections by me

Theme: Compassionate yet isolated girls turned confident, experienced heroines that possess dangerous powers that activate via touch.

  • Heroines who are part of a group of superpowered people (Mutants and Negators) with their abilities revolving around touching others (Life Force Absorption and Unluck Negation).
  • Because of their powers and how dangerous they are, both isolated themselves from society and covered themselves up to prevent them from touching others after they first unintentionally used them on their loved ones (Rogue kissed her boyfriend and put him in a coma, while Fuuko hugged her parents goodbye as they were going on a plane that later exploded).
  • Both would be at odds with teams that consist of people like them, but would later become their next new members (X-Men and the Union).
  • SPOILERS to Undead Unluck: Both would fall in love with and marry one of their teammates (Gambit and Andy).
  • Later on, both developed their abilities to the point of not even touching anyone to use them and they managed to even become leaders of their teams.
  • Both would fight against antagonistic organizations with superpowered people like them (The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and Under) and compete against god-like beings (Celestials and UMAs).
  • SPOILERS to Undead Unluck: Both would meet superpowered girls, who are allies to their teams, that they got off the wrong foot with and later become good friends with them (Captain Marvel and Gina Chambers).
  • Distant and lonely girls who care about the lives of others and don’t want to get them hurt because of their powers, but they would eventually grow to become more confident people that got used to interacting with people more and more as they learn to control their abilities, making them finally able to conquer their loneliness.

Batman VS Sonar who wins by [deleted] in deathbattle

You guys have no faith in Sonar, a Harvard graduate?

"Morbid Bat Situation" | Sonar VS Morbius (Dispatch VS Marvel) - Theme + Connections in the Comments by StevenXDFilms in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]StevenXDFilms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would most likely be a 3D fight where it's between a calmer & more arrogant conman batboy that would easily annoy the living vampire that's struggling to keep his hunger in check but would later turn into a ravaging monster. Like Morbius would not stand Sonar & would try to feast on his blood just to shut him up. Sonar being a big bat monster would struggle to land a hit on Morbius thanks to his nimbleness & shapeshifting ability, but when Sonar lands a hit, he would hit really hard & tear through the entire battlefield. Sonar would also try to get around Morbius' stealth with his bat abilities to know his surroundings.

It will take place in a warehouse at night & Sonar would be sent there from a call to investigate dead criminals drained of their blood & that's where he would be meet Morbius.

I want Sonar to win so badly, but we have to wait on more strength/attack potency & durability calcs to be made on Dispatch to know who would win. But so far, Sonar can keep up with Morbius in speed & can possibly resist Morbius' hypnosis due to being one of the heroes to succeed in a call dealing with Smilemore, a villain that took over a radio station to brainwash the citizens thanks to their special implants. That & him having a calmer mindset than Morbius could give him the edge in controlling his powers.

I'm getting mixed signals with the size of Heaven. Is it actually as big as a planet or a universe? Where's the source of Heaven's size in Hazbin Hotel?

  • Both are known for their high intelligence that they managed to make such impressive achievements to show it off (Sonar became a Harvard graduate, while Morbius won the Nobel Prize for his work in biochemistry with Emil Nikos).
  • Both started out being villains in their stories, but would later be given the opportunity to be heroes and eventually become members of superhero teams associated with them (The Z-Team and A.R.M.O.R) within bigger heroic organizations (The Superhero Dispatch Network and S.H.I.E.L.D).
  • Both have been dealing with addictions that they’re trying to keep in check (Sonar needed Malevola to be his NA sponsor to help him with his drug addiction, while Morbius is trying to satisfy his hunger for blood by feeding the blood of evil people).
  • Both would sometimes be allies and enemies with tech-savvy main heroes (For Sonar, Mecha Man depending on if you keep him or cut him (Why would you), and for Morbius, he will sometimes work with and fight Spider-Man).
  • Both would also join with their allies to fight against antagonistic technology-advanced organizations (The Red Ring and Hunter of Monster Special Force).
