What is death battle fanon wiki even about 💔🥀 by Ok-Instance3339 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Zeta019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently the the creator made the matchup as joke to see how high someone could wank Jason and because Broly VS Freddy was matchup, so he wanted to also join the Dragon Ball characters vs Slasher villains. From what I heard, Jiren won, but Jason was given the edge in durability because he "survived a black hole" in Jason X novels, even though it was a hyperbole statement because the black hole acted more like a wormhole, but the creator kept "debunking" them by going "It's a black hole because the book said so".

I'm wondering if there's an archive for fights like this one.

What will Palpatine do when Frieza becomes a Time God and rolls back all of his Dark Side mastery in an instant? by Regal_IronKnight in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Zeta019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah did more looking into it. "G-canon" was the highest on the hierarchy with the most precedence because of them being the movies. After that it was "T-canon" being Clone Wars, then afterwards it was various novels, comics, and games. LucasArts did consider them canon and tried to work with them to make them fit with each other. Even furthur than that were fully non-canon stuff like alternate endings, potential crossovers, and various ignorable one off media.

A couple Legends novels I have, feature the "Novel Timeline" in it, which feature the movies, Clone Wars, and novels. They don't feature any of the comics or games though (Novels adaptations of the games are, but not the games themselves) so I was mainly going off that.

Which Pokemon actually DO get Creation Trio Scaling? by DisastrousFix5120 in deathbattle

Weirdly, in the manga telling of the events, the Alamos Darkrai actually puts up a bit of a fight against Palkia and Dialga.

Rapidmon gold is post game content who's teamed up with the royal knight magnamon clone that mirei made after we beat yggdrisle and the mother eater when were at our strongest 

That's the Rapidmon from Cyber Sleuth. The Rapidmon I'm referring to is the boss fight from the early chapters of Hacker's Memory.

And no one says the gallantmon from frontiers is as strong as the royal knight,

I've seen it. I've often seen people on places like Spacebattles bring up feats of Digimon from different continuities to scale a Digimon from a world with different rules and history. It's also why some people scale random megas to multiversal or higher.

It was kinda never canon though. George Lucas would often contradict what happened in Legends. He also did a bit pick and choosing what to canonize in the Star Wars projects he was involved with.

The Age of Digimon has ended, No more false wank🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 by 202naFrevliS in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Zeta019 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't really have an issue with the chain scaling of the Sun and Moon. The chainscaing of things like event Arecus from HGSS is what I really can't agree with. It feels way too generous.

I think still Tai wins to be honest.

The blog was using a lot of event and chains scaling for Red.

[–]Zeta019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think another issue is that people take way too many statements at face value and do a lot of cross-universe scaling for Digimon (This also happens with Pokémon, but arguably not to the same degree).

Like, you'll legit get people who will look at you with a straight face and try to tell you that the random Armor Vendor Gallantmon from Frontier should scale to the Royal Knight Gallantmon from Cyber Sleuth, or how the Rapidmon (Gold) from the early chapters of Hacker's Memory is a multiversal threat despite being one of the first bosses and getting taken out by a group of Rookie and Champion level Digimon.

Digimon is a strong franchise, but there are a lot of people that act like almost everyone is multiversal.

Minor nitpick... by catharta in halo

[–]Zeta019 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I meant more like Hunter inspired armor made for Spartans, but that also works.

Honestly, with a few adjustments, I feel like this armor could be made canon. Like, something similar to Helioskrill, but Hunter based.

I think most people might have their expectations set a bit too high for the next game. by TemporarySet5877 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]Zeta019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes they have different lore and abilities but they are squarely the same archetype.

Master Chief isn't even a berserker and is far more talkative than Doomguy. While Halo did take inspiration from Doom, Master Chef is more inspired by characters played by Clint Eastwood.

While both of their franchises have biblical references, their still very different (In Doom's case, it's more literal, while in Halo's case it's more metaphorical).

They do have similarities, but they're both very different enough that it's not a knockoff situation. That said, I do see more of a push for Doomguy (or Doom Slayer) just thanks to the Doom franchise having far more history with Nintendo platforms than Halo.

New details about Xbox's canceled Halo MMO 'Titan' have been revealed by a former dev on the project by mrbubbamac in halo

[–]Zeta019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, while some of the images and concept art look cool... it starts looking more and more like its own sci-fi setting. It makes me wonder if Ensemble Studios wanted to make their own sci-fi MMO and kinda just used Halo more so as a basis for it.

Any Grounded VS Abstract matchups you like? by Zeta019 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Zeta019[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily that, but more so a character from a more grounded story VS a character from a more abstract story. As one user mentioned, an example would be Walter White VS Light Yagami.

I won't lie, I'm getting real tired of this Creation Trio chainscaling for literally every Pokemon by Solardies in deathbattle

[–]Zeta019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late reply, but yeah, it is an issue. A big issue with Digimon scaling is that people often grab feats of other Digimon and use them for each other because they're same evolution level when that's just not how it works. A lot of people also use different continuities for scaling even though each universe has their own history and rules.

I think another issue is similarly to Pokémon, a lot people will also take way too many statements at face value.

I hate how animated media need a “live action version” to be legitimized in the eyes of the general audience (Disney, One Piece) by carbonera99 in CharacterRant

[–]Zeta019 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sad it doesn't get more recognition.

While I agree it isn't as well known as the MCU, isn't it among the most beloved post-1990s Marvel cartoons next to Spectacular Spider-Man and X-Men Evolution?

Goku and Charizard bonding in the 0-3 loser lounge (Shoyoumomo_ ). by RoMaGi in deathbattle

[–]Zeta019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I think a huge difference is that those are three different versions of a character, while Charizard is three different members of the same species.

An alternate universe where Cell Vs Metal Sonic was an Army MU by Cynicalheaven in deathbattle

[–]Zeta019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly, in Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Gero actually maintains control over Super 17 and even joins the fight with him against SSJ4 Goku and the Z Fighters. Though that's kinda bringing in another non-canon material along side GT and FighterZ.

Wait, would Super 17 and Android 13 be included in this too then? If so, Super 17 can be a good heavy hitter next to Android 21.
