Death Battle - Analyzing weapons, armor, and skills on the Internet since 2010.

Yet again, another instance of "This character wins not because of anything they did, but because of what other characters did and we used vague scaling to give him numbers that we could use to say he did."

I thought the feats wanking was annoying but this scaling logic they've been doing is Dragon Ball Power Levels leagues of bad. At this point, you can't do proper match-ups anymore because as long as one person they fight and don't die against is in a character's lore, then that person will be more powerful than they should be every time.

What bunk.

Which is worse, incorrect application of research, or incomplete/incompetent research?

That first one wouldn't be so bad if Death Battle ever admitted to mistakes other than the semantics the pulled in #18 vs Captain Marvel, but even then Death Battle's picking and choosing of what material they follow is sometimes worse because it's genuinely cost some characters their wins.

Glacius only lost to Sub-Zero because they counted the Test Your Might mini-games as canon despite how absolutely ridiculous that is to pretty much everyone.

I don't know why this is so difficult, but I guess they're always going to muck shit up if they insist on having big numbers in their videos.

Isn't that just a habit of vs debating in general? I've even heard "power scales" and "power scaling" be used in context outside of Death Battle and vs debating.

I'm not denying that, but considering the topic is about Death Battle while also keeping in mind that these guys get paid mad bucks for it, third-party Power Level stans aren't in my range of fire on a Death Battle thread.

Good point. I take it you have high standards in this field.

I actually don't mind Death Battle, they've done a lot of fun videos like Dante vs Bayonetta, Spider-Man vs Batman, and Snake vs Sam.

Yeah, then I remember fucking Gaara vs Toph and I groan in disappointment. Goku vs Superman was fun to watch though, both the episode itself and the autistic screeching that came from it.

Death Battle as a whole is a fun little thing to watch, and I wouldn't mind any more well made shows like it. It's just people really take it too seriously or read too much into things like it's WWE.

I suppose that's just the nature of fandoms, y'know? People get very, very defensive about the things they like, to the point where if someone says X is better than Y in their series, they'll start debating.

In theory it's not necessarily a bad thing because it could foster relationships between communities, but that's me being supremely (and purposefully) naive, lol. One look at Goku vs Superman will show you that all these things devolve into is just stupid chimpanzees tossing shit across their yards at each other.
 
So you guys remember back when I talked about how the Death Battle Writers United members would screech if you didn’t support BLM? Here’s the latest example of their whining.

Oh, boo hoo. He called something retarded. How about you grow a pair and stop being offended just because he brought up a good point?

This has to be one of the biggest stretches I’ve seen on the server, and that’s counting the endless “X is actually trans” headcanons the users purport.

Normally I’d say Ky Kiske from Guilty Gear vs Jin Kisaragi from Blazblue, but after seeing how the channel treats Blazblue, I think I’ll pass. Broly vs Asura sounds pretty good, though.

Ghidora vs Blue Eyes White/Ultimate Dragon
Clare (Claymore) vs Guts
Train Heartnet (Black Cat) vs Usopp (One Piece)- Alternatively you could swap Train with Vash from Trigun
Firebrand vs Omen (Killer Instinct)

Just a couple of the one's off the top of my head. I imagine a couple of these would be stomp-ish but the spectacle would be worth it.
