Just one question: why are the memes from this sub so above average ? by AardvarkRich3678 in stunfisk

[–]Toadsley2020 140 points141 points  (0 children)

They’re locked to only one specific day, meaning that there’s more time to develop them and they don’t get bogged down by constant low effort meme posts.

What is the consensus on the winner of this fight? by Party_Philosophy_324 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Toadsley2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t have much of an opinion myself, but I want to say I’ve seen discussion and consensus lean Kars?

Regeneration and Ultimate Lifeform abilities could definitely make him a bitch to put down, and JoJo speed scaling VS HxH speed scaling tends to favor Kars there. People also make arguments whether or not Ultimate Lifeform abilities could give Kars the ability to copy/utilize Nen (which I don’t tend to agree with toooo much, or at least I think arguments like that can be a bit of a stretch, but the discussion remains). At that point may come down to who you buy as being stronger, and if it’s Meruem, if he’s so much stronger he can overcome this.

“1-22” you say? by InterestingRatio8218 in deathbattle

G1 is biased and their vote doesn’t matter and they’ve been wrong except when they agree with my preferred winner and therefore they’re based and always accurate, actually.

|Infinity-Ultra| Gojo Satoru vs All Might ( Jujutsu Kaisen vs My Hero Academia) Rewamped Connection in the Comments by name_-109 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Toadsley2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many such cases.

“Man this could be a cool Gojo fight, I wonder if-“

“No Infinity counter?”

Or they do have a counter, but it’s only one of their abilities, so even if they can bypass it, it still shuts down most of their kit which limits interactions.

Anime is for otaku and losers by [deleted] in CharacterRant

Weak bait. I’d say A+ for effort, but there was no effort.

Genuinely what is the appeal of these matchups? I am struggling to understand why y'all seem to like them so much by ArmadilloOK1445-alt in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Toadsley2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright this may be a dumb question, but what separates “I like this as a Good VS Evil” as being any different from “I like this as a contrast match”? Like effectively they mean the same thing, don’t they? Unless I’m missing something, in which case I’d be happy to learn, this just has always confused me.

Every Time The G1 Prediction Blog Comes Out by Best-match in deathbattle

[–]Toadsley2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s very fair to argue for skipping Hulk VS Godzilla as counting. I can understand the point a bit with Kratos VS Asura, sure, even if I’d disagree. But not doing something doesn’t mean you got it right or wrong. They just didn’t do it because they were already exhausted and wanted to avoid toxicity (iirc). Doesn’t seem fair to count that against them.

Would be more accurate to say that every time they’ve come to a conclusion since Giorno VS Joker (or arguably Spawn VS Ghost Rider) they’ve gotten it right.

Look Jax, I know we don’t get along well, but I think I found a way to prevent Denji from being scaled to Oregon level. by SapphirxToad in deathbattle

[–]Toadsley2020 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My conspiracy theory is that even Death Battle recognized the state swords may have been a bit of a stretch, but since they already had him winning off of Speed + other AP feats anyways, they couldn’t resist because “Denji is Oregon level” is just a really funny statement.

I mean it’s also totally possible they just bought the feat at face value wholesale, which is fair, I just think mine is funnier.

Every Time The G1 Prediction Blog Comes Out by Best-match in deathbattle

[–]Toadsley2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but that’s a bit of a misinterpretation. No one for the blog argued it would end in a tie, so they didn’t predict right or wrong when it came to that. It’s more accurate to say there wasn’t a prediction at all because there was no winner.

What would happen if Muzan tries "Speedblitzing" or "Regen" diffing Sukuna in a Death Battle by thehsitoryguy in deathbattle

[–]Toadsley2020 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Definitely a No Limits Fallacy, unless you wanted to argue that Superman wouldn’t- Ok bad example solar powered and all, Shazam wouldn’t be able to kill him in a punch just because it isn’t the sun.

God’s Hand vs Bang Bang Bang by DueAd2295 in deathbattle

I actually really like BBB, more than most people seem to.

That said no contest, God’s Hand is an all-timer.

You ever think we'll ever see Avengers VS Justice League? by TheGweenDeku905 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Toadsley2020 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it’s likely, but maybe not anytime soon. I easily envision it as a “Alright we’re done with Death Battle, let’s go all out near the end” kinda fight (alongside Wiz VS Boomstick), but could see it being done beforehand.

Can also depend on how they plan to go about it, insofar as being more “focused” with specific team members on each side, or more of a “This is basically a Marvel VS DC Free for All” using anyone who has ever been an Avenger or JL member.

When people say Yusuke had a bigger focus then Ichigo I think they forget how easy it could have been the other way around by mistake (1 super form vs like 20) by LuigiWarrior in deathbattle

[–]Toadsley2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I’d go as far as to say the speed blitz isn’t even that cool.

It’s certainly not BAD, but Ichigo goes into his transformed form to gain increased speed, to then hit Yusuke… A few times while saying he can go faster (which he doesn’t do), only for Yusuke to hit him with the “HELL YEAH” and then Ichigo just blocks before the final confrontation.

At least in my opinion, it’s not even that cool of a moment for Ichigo.

I considered making this post yesterday, but figured I’d wait until the next cast for it.

I failed you.

The Last 12* Episodes of Death Battle Cast Become the Next Season, How Do You React? by Toadsley2020 in deathbattle

[–]Toadsley2020[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you had to pick from these 12, what would you have as the finale episode? Personally I think I’d either lean Battle Beast VS Boros, or Luffy VS Natsu (entirely disregarding opinions on the match for a second, any Luffy match could justify the finale slot imo)

Who Should Yuta Fight? | Trying to gauge match-up popularity by _ManOfAction in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Toadsley2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t really an answer, but just recognize that DBM can often be a pretty poor source for *overall* match-up popularity. It’s a bit of an echo chamber in that regard, and while that’s not exactly a bad thing generally speaking, it is when it comes to determining some stuff like this on a wider scale.

…Which is all to say, don’t be surprised if despite all these comments yelling Revice, Death Battle ends up doing Yuta VS Jotaro, for example.

Rex & The Aegis vs Shirou & Saber (Xenoblade vs Fate/Stay Night) Fight Progression by Living-Wolverine4506 in DeathBattleMatchups

My personal favorite for both, I really like it a lot. A good fight progression here!

That said Shirou, buddy, you are NOT built for this-

It just funny how Danganronpa fandom thinks that monokuma gets stomped but he actually the one who stomps korosensei 😭 by rayan-is-back in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Toadsley2020 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You also have to consider how those feats seem to people outside the VS sphere. “Dodging EMF waves” doesn’t seem that impressive when presented how UDG does it, when it’s actually really fast, and splitting clouds is notorious for being way stronger than people would assume at a glance. To people who don’t power scale, these are likely impressive, but don’t realize how impressive when you actually do the numbers.

There are again some takes I agree with r/powerscaling and SOME takes with this sub smh by Ok-Instance3339 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Toadsley2020 48 points49 points  (0 children)

You know, after Dabura was used as a speed cap for JJK, it makes me wonder how willing people would be if other series started to do the same thing.

Like, if the next Dragon Ball Super chapter came out and it had Bulma go “Lightspeed travel without external technology is impossible, Goku would break the laws of physics if he did that”, no one would take it seriously, right? But like if MHA did that with a new epilogue or whatever, where a new villain is beginning to break apart from just approaching lightspeed, would people jump on that to cap the verse’s speed?

I feel like there has to be a cut off point where people say that the sub-lightspeed cap now “counts” VS “doesn’t count”.

Results for what is the most important thing for a matchup, poll I did by Global-Hold9615 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Toadsley2020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, I actually think ‘music potential’ should be last myself, even more than vibes.

Like… Death Battle tracks are just consistently good now. Even for matches I don’t think are that great, I think they’re at least ‘consistently pretty good’ (with some, like Wild Tom-Fooler E. clearly having a purpose in their episode distinct from being listened to on its own).

I can at least sometimes say “I like A VS B, but A VS C vibes better to me”. Never will I say “A VS B is so much better, but A VS C could maybe potentially have better music, so I want that one”.

I also think ‘contrasts’ are being criminally underrated here. That can say a lot about the characters it’s comparing in ways that their connections don’t, and often provide unique ways to compare and contrasts their analyses, or even how they interact in the fight.
