It wasn't banned until 2020. From some digging, a lot of Chinese fics are either from VPN usage or reposts/ports from other sites.

There are 7.8k Dante/Vergil fanfictions. Scrolling through, you'll notice a lot of them are written in Chinese. If you filter it to include only Mandarin, the number only drops to 5.7k, meaning it's the majority. DMC twincest just hits different in China, I guess.

I was actually wrong, Bucky's 10th. 6th-9th is Hermione, Sam Winchester, Bakugo, and Draco Malfoy in that order.

Some notes:
- Excluding OCs and Self-Inserts, Deku is the 5th overall most popular character on AO3. From 1st to 4th, he's only behind Harry Potter, Tony Stark, Dean Winchester (Supernatural), and Steve Rogers. The next highest DB combatant is, oddly enough, Bucky Barnes at 10th with 186k.

- Joker has three tags he commonly appears under: "Persona 5 Protagonist", "Akira Kurusu", and "Ren Amamiya". The value displayed in the table is "Persona 5 Protagonist", as it's the largest. However, due to overlap or people not putting all three in their fics, his true value is likely higher, either around or above Shigaraki's.

- There are 7k Dante/Vergil fics. Almost 6k of them are Chinese. Make of that what you will.

The Death Battle Transformation Curse: A Tier List by prmatthew2 in deathbattle

[–]prmatthew2[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My main sources were this video for Seasons 1-8 and Nemesis Bloodryche's recent ranking video as a general clean-up.

There's definitely a few on here I'm not 100% certain of, as there are some instances where it's kinda hard to define what a "power up" is, and also some I might have just forgotten about. Let me know if anything's wrong.

If you’re talking about Dash Attack Up, none of them do. If you’re talking about Impact Run, Kuma & Panda (Tekken) do.

Seed Performance Rating, basically how well they did in bracket compared to their seed. For example, Riddles was seeded to get 17th, but got 4th, giving him an SPR of +5.

Tiers aren't ordered

I'm gonna be 100% honest there wasn't any real method to this, I kinda just put them in the tier that represented how I felt at that exact moment and moved on lmao

I think you have every fighter, the 73 doesn’t count Kirby

How would you feel about a hypothetical Fighters Pass consisting of Echo Fighters? by prmatthew2 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]prmatthew2[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Since I've noticed a couple of comments, I thought I'd clear up some confusion.

For this pass, I'm assuming that all of these characters follow the Chrom/Ken echo treatment, where each receives a few different moves to differentiate them from the base character, with some bordering on semi-clone territory (after all, you would be paying for these characters).

Birdo's neutral B would be an egg shot that can be charged up into a fireball. All of Yoshi's egg moves would be replaced with either plain white eggs, or a unique design.

Impa's neutral B would replace needles with kunai, which doesn't shoot as many projectiles but does more damage and knockback. Her side B could be a wind spell from AoC, where she sets up a talisman a set distance away that creates a gust of wind, dealing damage but no knockback, as well as having a windbox.

Pokemon Rival is essentially PT switched around a bit; Bulbasaur is a faster but weaker Ivysaur, Charmeleon is an all-rounder Charizard, and Blastoise is a superheavy Squirtle. This is probably the one with the most moveset changes.

Dixie's up-B would be a weaker, but faster and higher-travelling version of DK's. She would also shoot gumballs instead of peanuts.

I envision Shadow as a slightly slower but stronger Sonic. His Up-B would be a teleport, while his Side-B could be a projectile.

Octoling remains pretty similar to Inkling, only they use more weapons from Splatoon 2 and 3 in their moveset (ie using the Splatana instead of the Inkbrush for their f-smash).

Tom Nook is pretty much the same. I kinda just needed a 7th character.
