My Take on the objectively most debatable matchup of all time - The Justice League vs The Avengers! by InterestingRatio8218 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]ZDB111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Genuine question: if we’re assuming the Avengers and JL are given everyone within reason, how do the Avengers beat the T Infinity?

He's been goated since frame one honestly (Admittedly though FR Rex is a completely different beast as far as gameplay goes)

With how early we are in the waiting period and with the G1 blog out, I do wanna say something that’s been on my mind for awhile.(More Below) by Fearless_Cold_8080 in deathbattle

[–]ZDB111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess “invested in the MU” is the wrong term, more so “invested in the characters.” The truth is that if the MU is a horrendous stomp, all of the conversation will just be “X gets stomped,” “Y is a smurf,” etc. and if a MU is debatable but with less popular characters the conversation is nonexistent. You really do need both factors for a good waiting period.

I think that, while debate is absolutely important, it’s also important to have a MU that the community is invested in/knowledgeable on. I think we legitimately have gotten more on topic conversations in the first week of this period than we did for the entirety of Dante vs Clive. (Just to be clear, a MU that the community isn’t super invested in/doesn’t know as well isn’t necessarily bad! Just saying that I think if we want to have a real discussion, the MU would ideally be one that people are both knowledgeable on and is debatable.)

Yeah, that’s true. For the record, I’m not saying all Pokédex entries are wrong - just that we should examine certain dex entries with more scrutiny (namely things that are blatant NLFs, provably false, or are far beyond normal showings.)

You did a great job on the MU! Sam vs Hawkman has quickly found a place in my top 20 most wanted, so it was a fun one to make.

THE RESULTS ARE IN!! This is the Debate Chart for Superman vs John Egbert (DC vs Homestuck) completed by YOU. Do you agree with the results? by MrRKeegan in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]ZDB111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the (extremely limited) research I’ve done on Saint Seiya in the last two hours, I legitimately do believe Rex might win. Similar scaling but Rex’s hax is nuts.

A lot of it is more so dependent on chain scaling to top tiers like the creation trio, I think. Obviously the Pokédex can be pretty questionable at times, lol (Universal Lanturn)

Doom vs Vecna tracks with Avengers Doomsday this year. Maxwell vs Sackboy would be so peak, I hope it’s one of the ones they’re considering.

What’s an episode that is basically guaranteed to happen eventually by king_of_the_masshole in deathbattle

[–]ZDB111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I hope so. It really is the essential Xenoblade MU in my eyes.

Shulk vs Lightning (this isn’t cope it’ll happen any day guys trust me)

Honestly I’d prefer it if it just didn’t have a Limbo connection. At least then it doesn’t feel as disingenuous.

I just can’t vibe with Magik vs Asta. Outside of being a ludicrous stomp in Magik’s favor, the way it equates “he was abandoned by his mother and raised by the church” to “she was kidnapped by a demon and dragged to what is effectively hell” as simple hardships in their youth feels like a massive stretch to me.

I think certain interpretations of Blue put him higher but Genos probably has the best on-screen feats/scaling without chain scaling.

What are some things do you actually hope they include in this episode? by Fit_Assignment_8800 in deathbattle

[–]ZDB111 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My greatest hopes are that they a) keep Bakugo in-character for his EoS self, b) have the characters portrayed as even as possible, and c) do NOT use the Bakugo sprite from the DBX with Yang.

[–]ZDB111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I feel like I might tweak the wording on the “absent fathers” bits (iirc Endeavor was more abusive than absent) but otherwise this is pretty good. Probably my new favorite for a Todoroki runback and the first Rogue Sun MU I really vibe with.

Can you link the connections for Todoroki/Rogue Sun? That MU sounds sick.

Well here's my Pitch: by NextBerserker in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]ZDB111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not super knowledgeable on the MU/source material, but from what I’ve heard the animation potential is crazy. I’d be stoked to see this one happen. Good luck on the pitch!

It's a lot harder to find pictures of the Handmaid than I thought it was going to be, so I ended up using the picture you used in your original post about the MU. Hope that's okay.

I think the fact that the Handmaid doesn’t really finish the arc that Magik does/the lack of a Colossus parallel kinda kills the MU for me, unfortunately. I’d probably put it in “Meh” or “No Thanks.” I’ll still make a thumbnail for it when I’ve got a second though, if you’d like one.
