Forget the common shit, what are some of the more obscure fight ideas you've seen?
>>151704564I think Akainu vs Gaara would be cool. Not sure how obscure it is.
GoKU
>>151704590>lava vs sand>oh geez I wonder who would winNow I kinda want to see Crocodile fight Akainu.
Found this offsite, zero clue who either of those two are, but it was alongside Undertale AU matchups so probably another fanon AU one
battle of the keikaku meidos

This one image has more value than every AI tourney listroon has posted combined.
>>151704643Non zoolander version
>>151704627That's Mason Gleeful from the Reverse Falls AU on the left
>>151704654We need more Bleach match ups.
>>151704659BASED! Here's another image worth more than AI tranny shit.
>>151704623I just like earth elemental users with related to dogs (red dog is Akainu, Shukaku is a tanooki or raccoon dog) introduced relatively early in the story as an antagonist and became the leader of powerful military organizations (Fleet Admiral and United Ninja Front General or whatever, and both reached a new position after a timeskip, being Fleet Admiral and Sunakage). Gaara would also fucking hate Akainu so it'd be cool on that level. Gaara wins btw.
>>151704517>Ebenezer Stooge and his fake accounts aren't spamming the Sephiroth vs Vergil comment section>People bitch about the outcome, but there's not one guy in particular living in the comments.Vergifag was right. The problem is mostly salty Dante self-inserters. Not even Vergilfags bitch as much as Dantefags. Ironic, considering Vergil is the cold, edgy, resentful, and troublesome jerkass, while Dante is supposed to be the funny, relaxed, and lazy guy.Let's check Clive vs Dante. Oh, here they are. Someone called SrJaime loves to bait Ebenezer Stooge and his fake accounts. Dantefags, boy. And more salty losers in the recommendations.
>>151704700roflmao. No he doesn't win.
Hope he gets a turn next season. Who would be the best matchup?
>"Who's that "Pokemon"?!>"HORAKHTY! GODDESS OF LIGHT!"
>>151704709Gaara has Boruto scaling bro it's over>>151704730Ryu from Street Fighter
>>151704730>>151704755The main character of Shenmue.
>>151704730Wei Shen from Sleeping Dogs, or Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue, or wait for Nagoshi's new game. Or some Grand Theft Auto dude.
>>151704755What fucking scaling? One Piece nowadays is already large continent to small planet, any "scale" you could find for Gaara gets denied by massive stat and elemental advantage Akainu has over Gaara.He could be moon level, it doesn't matter. He can't do shit to Akainu and Akainu would just tuurn his sand into glass.
>>151704703At this point, it's obvious that Ebenezer will keep pretending to be different people, spamming, and fighting anyone who baits him in the comment sections of Dante's Death Battles for even more years to come. Maybe he's one of the DMCfags banned from Vsbattles, since the DMC hoax was uncovered 2 years ago, exactly when he started to show up.
>I can solo all of Gundam, you know. Where's my match-up? I'm the best eva pilot in my franchise.
>>151704783Naruto is fraudulently chainscaled to planet level FTL+ by VSBW too broGaara buries Akainu under a planetary amount sand and crushes him>He can't do shit to Akainu and Akainu would just tuurn his sand into glass.Well considering his sand holds up to planetary level heat...
>>151704816
>Inb4 DC KO decides to give us Sword of Superman Superman where he becomes DC's version of Eternity.
>>151704783Gaara actually has sealing via Magnet Style so Akainu gets fucked by that and Naruto can be wanked higher.
Reminder that not only Torrian thought of Dante vs Clive. Don't go blaming him for that flop.
>>151704882In Torrian's defense, the combat director for Final Fantasy XVI and Devil May Cry V was probably the one who actually drove the fight into the spotlight.https://gameinformer.com/feature/2023/02/28/final-fantasy-16-clive-beats-dante-according-to-former-devil-may-cry-dev-ryota>His answer, with a sly smile and a laugh: Clive. >Suzuki says Clive’s Eikonic abilities, which allow him to tap into the power of Eikons like Phoenix and Titan, give him the ultimate edge. And just for fun, I asked who would win in a fight between Clive and Nero. >“Clive.” >There you have it, very specific fans of both Final Fantasy and Devil May Cry 5 like me; Clive wins.
>>151704827I'd just assume only the high tiers are planetary, not Gaara.Even if he was planetary, One Piece isn't too far off from that anymore, so the lava>logic would end up comming into effect.
Akainu would make this chair for Gaara to sit on.
>>151704564Unironically this would have been a pretty fun match cause then we could have bullied homestuck fans by saying that "now that they got a rep we don't have to give them another".
>>151704937>lava>logicBut Gaara's sand has taken lava before and also stuff like Madara and Momoshiki's fire or lightning
Do you guys think Ebenezer stalks us? The Dantefag is even one of those autists who pay Death Battle. On the other hand, imagine paying DB only for them to kill off your self-insert.
I'm the only person who cares about this but since views have been coming up, the new ERB is at 699K views after a day and a few hoursFor comparisonhttps://web.archive.org/web/20250923111605/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgRzzGsEtCkRuby vs Maka was at 728K views after basically this same timeNormally I'd just attribute it to ERB doing a historical matchup and DB doing a bigger one but Ruby vs Maka is a niche idea, it's fucking RWBY, it's insane to me that ERB got outperformed by a Death Battle like that. What the fuck happened?
>>151705017Both channels are dying.
>>151704974he's too busy being sealed in the cuck pyramid
Fucking hilarious to me that Naruto and One Piece are both scaled to planetary level. Yeah, these continental and island at best verses are so strong.
>>151705091what about that one guy that split the moon in the naruto movie
>>151705031Nah, I've been autistically looking at DB's views on archive for the past few days. DB has dropped off slightly but basically remained consistent, the performance this season is basically in line with how DB has performed for a decade now (smaller episodes get about 700K to 800K on their first day and then gradually climb up to the 3 million+ range over time, bigger episodes get 1 million on the first day and end up at 5 million+). DBs have always really benefited from long-term views, which is why older episodes have accrued so much, but if you actually go back to your average season 2 episode they performed pretty similarly to modern episodes. The ad block change is the first thing to actually impact DB's view counts from what I can tell, and even that's just the view counts and not the actual audience number.Meanwhile older ERBs used to get 4 million views on their first day. It's an absurd drop-off.
I regret not screenshotting G1's Smurf posts before G1 killed their old blog. The guy endlessly spammed comment sections by himself. I don't know what it is about DMC that attracts so many salty autists. They really are the Sonic fandom, but for emo manchildren.https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/151612548/#151612782
>>151705102That was hollow I think but still pretty good, definitely continental to moon scaling makes sense for Naruto, and planetary is skeptical but not a massive jump from thereStill likely untrue and I can't imagine Gaara or Hokage Kakashi blowing up a moonI will never stop laughing at planetary One Piece, that shit's hilarious
>>151705118tbf ERBs had fucking huge lapses between videos. DB at worst just goes on like 1-2 month breaks at the end of seasons, maybe a minor delay for uploads if animation isnt done. I like ERB but damn if it's not tedious waiting a million years for a new vid, especially if there's not even like a teaser on who is upcoming in future stuff
>>151705154What even is the source for planet level one piece? Does anyone even go to space there?
Maybe it's not Baryon Mode Naruto. Maybe it's this bird.

>>151705190Endgame Luffy might be planetary all things considered given the recent arc
>>151705118Just as a random example of this (cause archive is annoying to use for youtube channels, here's what Metal Sonic vs Zero looked like three days after release, which I think is a good example because it's basically your average stock 2D episode with two moderately well known but not all star level characters. It got 1.1 million views, which is actually lower than any episode of the indie era pre-ad block changes. You can see in the sidebar that the other season 2 fights performed pretty much in line with the episodes from this year, getting 2 to 3 million views after a few months and some of the bigger ones reaching past that.

>>151705441Samefag response incoming
A shitty 2d fight that outperforms expensive modern DBs doesn't sound bad. Maka, Buffy, and Clive's fights likely made them lose money, unlike Zero vs Metal Sonic. Worse yet, they don't have Rooster Teeth's wallet to rely on anymore whenever they produce a flop.
>You forgot to add the gigachad image.

The most ridiculous thing about this is that Joey getting a holy deck is far from the most batshit insane thing that could potentially happen in Yu-Gi-Oh
What's the most recent episode that had a verdict people thought was largely accurate only for new material to come out making the fight completely lopsided on the other end or material was re-evaluated/resurfaced making the episode wrong in retrospect even back then?
>>151705502Now gullible idiots have to pay for Death Battles to exist. I wouldn't call that an improvement. It was better when RT had to pay for everything. Well, you can blame only yourself if you fell for it.
>>151705477Buffy vs Blade was definitely the most expensive to make but I wouldn't be surprised if it mostly came from Ismahawk

>>151705376Ben partially blamed the verdict but really, it's an oldfag normalfag fight like Boba Fett vs Predator or He-Man vs Lion-ONot really relevant to Death Battle's audience or general viewers who skew younger >Melanie Mac as KimberlyI'm still surprised she used to be normal
>>151705477It didn't outperform them is the thing. Something like Metal Sonic vs Zero did the same as, if not worse, than your average 2D filler fight DB does all the time. The way the ad block reduction works is that it's not an actual change in the audience, it's just Youtube no longer counting viewers using ad block as adding to the total. It's why the actual ad revenue received from videos didn't change, because all the viewers who were no longer being counted were already using ad block and so weren't giving money anyway. DB evidently hasn't notably reduced in audience size.Of course, it's still a bad thing because having a lower view count looks worse to sponsors long-term, but DB is probably making about the same money overall. If anything it's probably good for them that this happened during the stretch of episodes subsidized by the Kickstarter money so they have time to adjust without it immediately affecting them.Also the episodes under Rooster Teeth were probably more expensive just because they had more people working on them.
>>151705634HulkFAGGOT
>>151705641>YOU'RE DELUSIONAL!!!Cope.
>>151705376>One of the most expensive fights>No Ismahawk backing them>Had to hire multiple VAs and create entirely new modelsHow many "popular" fights do you think they'd never do unless it was a passion project since views matter more now?Team fights are probably off the table unless they're okay with reusing official audio clips or if the combatants are mostly mutesIf Geats vs Nero bombs that'll probably make them cautious on doing more Fate or Kamen Rider
>>151705605IIRC Ben said on a fireside chat that Buffy vs Blade on its own could have drained most of the Kickstarter money if they weren't careful, so they basically called in a bunch of favors they had been saving up for it. It was also a passion project on Ismahawk's end.

So what is Death Battle gonna learn from Ash vs Yugi regarding booking?I think the success between that and Bowser vs Eggman means they'll probably have another army/team fight next year as the big blow out
>When Dark Yugi entered the World of Memories to relive his past life as Pharaoh Atem, Dark Bakura commenced a Shadow Game. Using a diorama of the ancient Egyptian city as a game board and cards representing people and items, they controlled events happening in the World of Memories. Dark Bakura played with the intention of stopping Atem from defeating Zorc Necrophades in the replaying of his life and resurrect Zorc into the modern world. Dark Yugi played to regain his memories and defeat Zorc again.Is Bakura outerversal
>>151705645Eh it's an oldschool matchup but even in that vein it did way worse than it "should" have. Power Rangers had just had a blockbuster movie and Voltron Legendary Defender was currently airing to pretty big success. I can buy the verdict had something to do with it but it was probably a combination of factors.
>>151705694Honestly Ismahawk probably benefitted from the fight more even if it bombed
>>151705799>So what is Death Battle gonna learn from Ash vs Yugi regarding booking?Nostalgia is a powerful marketing force. They should do a Harry Potter match.
>>151705758>Odysseus vs SinbadOne's a war hero, and the other isn't. >Cu vs LancelotI feel like Arthur would be better, for thematic reasons since they're both from the British Isles, and Lancelot was primarily a French invention. Plus the Irish v British shitposting would be fun.
>>151705799It means that they need to use actual mainstream and iconic characters that people care about for big matches.
>>151705799I think next season will do even worse than this one from the get-go. Their hits are becoming more limited, and now their videos are struggling to reach even 1 million views. Yugi vs Ash was an outlier, not the norm. Expect future episodes to do even worse than Clive vs Dante and Maka vs Ruby.
>>1517058151. The movie bombed and even fans didn't like it (Ben did though)2. Legendary Defender fans didn't care for the original show (and the years since haven't been kind to it, Voltron is back to square one)3. Yeah, verdicts MIGHT play a role in thingsOmnidock would probably have done better had Bardock won It's still a fairly costly episode even if the models they made can look jank
>>151705672>t. Nikofag
>>151705799I don't think it really changes anything, they clearly expected Ash vs Yugi to do better than average. DB has always scheduled their seasons as big tentpole blockbuster fights interspersed with smaller niche matches in-between.DB has already done most of the big legacy fights but the trade-off is that they can do new trending stuff and get good views, and there will always be something new and trending to cover. JJK is basically a free goldmine for them so expect a Sukuna fight or Gojo runback next year.
>>151705799Ash v Yugi was a legit playground talking point back in the 2000s, it was huge. The only match-up DB could pull up that would reach Ash v Yugi again is doing an Evangelion match-up
>>151705870>2 JJK FIGHTS>2 MHA FIGHTS>2 CSM FIGHTS>2 DS FIGHTS>2 OPM FIGHTScapeslopbros what the FUCK happened
>>151705815Eh....it's a playground match up but I'd argue it's different because it's separated by generationsOne is 80's and the other is 90's and the themes are shallow because it boils down to Americans being sheltered when it comes to mechaHad Death Battle been ran by Filipinos it would have been Voltes V vs Voltron or Combattler V instead
>>151705896Is evangelion actually still popular? Who would they have fight? Shinji vs Eren?

>>151705941Shinji vs Heero if they want Gundam backThat was apparently a thing in the 2000's going by a quick Google search even if it's among Shinji's least thematic fights

Dunno which ones they could pull off.
1 million views is already becoming the new average, just like years ago, it used to be 5 or 3 million. Members are suckers payin' just to keep a zombie around.
>>151705941It's iconic and basically forever popular, an Eva episode would probably do generally good but not amazing. Opponent might be the weaker link depending on who they choose, I don't know how Heero would go over.
>>151705959Hulk why you trying not to laugh bruh that's disrespectful as shit
>>151705941Wing Gundam Vs Unit-01 is the big one.It's a Skills vs Stats match. Heero is the better pilot by a landslide compared to Shinji, he has a better computer system, and is more agile, but Unit-01 is stronger and literally cannot be damaged by Wing Gundam
>>151705972Youtube changed the algorithm to favor AI slop.
>>151705968>>151705981>>151705994Would they do such a literal who matchup?
>>151705971Thragg would be hype but his fights curb stomp him and he hasn't shown up in the show even if he's already popular on the internet
>>151705941>ErenWhy the fuck do people keep matching Shinji and Eren? The titans were being taken out by Industrial level tech. The tech gap between Shinji's eva and Eren's universe isn't even close, especially considering by the time of the Rebuilds, Shinji went full Super Robot mode in Rebuild 2.0, and even in the original Unit-01 was a beast. Put Shinji up against a Super Robot pilot, or someone from Gundam.
>>151705941Heero Yuy and Wing Gundam Zero VS Shinji Ikari and Evangelion-01.
>>151706006Nothing to do with AI, it's part of their war on ad blockers. Youtube algorithm actually seems to like Death Battle because it always got on trending. Even Killua vs Misaka was on the trending page when it aired.
I'm fine with their decline. If you didn't invest money into them, you shouldn't be worried.
>>151704590>I want *major characters from two incredibly popular anime* to fight, is that obscure?tbf though if Gaara beat Akainu while losing to Toph that would be some fucking hilarious bullshit.Realistically though Akainu sweeps easy, Gaara has no win con while Akainu can pretty easily get past the sand through sheer firepower.
>>151706009Gundam Wing was the most popular one in America because of ToonamiNot sure about it nowBen himself kind of thinks it's overrated though, he prefers UC stuff
>There's ai slop here in the threadsMan, these threads are beyond ass now.
>>151705941Kiryu is commonly paired with Eva Unit-01 even in official material
>now
>>151706036Wing got its 30th anniversary trailer, maybe it's possible. Although, composite Shinji (especially the Rebuilds) carries him hard, and practically a stomp against Heero.
>>151706009Gundam Wing is millennial core, it's the reason Overwatch did a collab with it in the same season as Cowboy Bebop.A lot of the comments on Ash vs Yugi are "I'm 30 and this made me tear up great video" so this would hit a similar audience.
>>151706009The popular ones are kinda ass, stuff like Shinji Vs Eren(Shinji stomps) or Unit-01 Vs Gypsy Danger. (Unit-01 doesn't even get hit).The only non-Shinji or EVA-01 fight I ever see is Asuka fighting the mech from Darling in the Franxx, Strelizia
>>151705971They used Reverse Flash already too, who I'd argue was propelled by memedom into being more popular than a good chunk of these characters.Absolute Batman could maybe be good. Is there someone who's gaining fame from Marvel Rivals? Groot? Jeff?
What's gonna be the "We know this episode is gonna flop but we're doing it anyways because we think it'd be fun" fight for next year?I'm thinking Skeletor vs Lord Zedd
>>151705799>>151705896With Yugi vs. Ash being a success in terms of reception and viewership, it's possible they might do more Saturday morning childhood cartoon/anime match ups. Jaden is definitely on their radar now, too.
>>151705190Literally someone using the Straw Hats' travel time to argue that the One Piece Earth is like 3 times larger than our own and things cascading from that implication.
>>151706019Unit-01 still kicks Wing Gundam Zero pretty hard, but it's evened up by the fact Heero is a absolute beast of a pilot and Shinji is kind of ass. Heero's skill can keep him in the fight until Yui steps in and goes full wing sprouting god mode
>>151706062Reverse Flash is one of those cases where the DB probably boosted an already growing meme. Goku Black vs Reverse Flash picked up a shitton of views over time.
>>151706075Jaden vs Dan from Bakugan would be cool, problem is Bakugan isn't that big of a show as GX in terms of nostalgia.
>>151706075He's on the radar but might not be a priority since Yu-Gi-Oh's most popular season is still it's first
Rei Vs Lapis is taking off for some reason
I could see another Mario match next year. Luigi vs someone.
We know they're probably starting off with Ichigo vs Yusuke next year, which is simultaneously a boomer millennial fight and also a trending currently hot topic anime fight, so it will probably do well.
>>151706075He’s definitely below Kaiba on the ladder.
All this COPE about the channel's decay makes me think that there are paying members among us.
>>151706155>among us
A FNAF match is unironically inevitable. I could see Freddy Fazbear vs Huggy Wuggy or CatNap.>>151706125Everyone's below Kaiba on the Yugioh ladder besides maybe Joey.
It's weird knowing the vast majority of episodes Death Battle did back then they'd never do today because views matter more than ever.Hell even the stuff people demanded like Ratchet vs Jak or fuck it maybe even Snake vs Sam because they'd be bad for the algorithm.
>>151705941>Significant people who are scientists that connected to their mechs? Yui Ikari and Juzo Kabuto>Brunette love interests? Sayaka Yumi and Mari Makinami>Secondary Ace Pilots who rivals the MC as a professional? Asuka Soryu and Tetsuya Tsurugi>Estranged relationship with their fathers? Gendo Ikari and Kenzo Kabuto>Emotionally autistic girls who are related to the MC? Rei and Lisa>Crack/Gay ships? Kaworu Nagisa and Duke Fleed>Angel vs Demon themesMight be a literal who match-up, but it's the only thing I could think of for Shinji.
>>151706066Aang vs Traveler is basically that, I never saw anyone talk about that matchup before DB randomly put it on their Kickstarter.
>>151706172Funny you mentioned Ratchet vs Jak, I had its page up. Here's how many views it had a year and three months after it came out. Basically Ghost Rider vs Spawn tier views.
I skimmed the Yugi vs Ash fight, the rules were just as arbitrary as I imagined they'd be. I can't say I envied the position the team was in, it was always a retarded idea for a fight, but even then what they landed on was pretty odd and didn't really feel true to either series.
>>151706194Isn't Getter Robo vs Mazinger Z the boomer match-up?I see the appeal though
>>151705835>One's a war hero, and the other isn't.There was a ballot banter that brought up an interesting equalizing factor. Boats. Odysseus probably commands a bireme or trireme from 8th century BC. Sinbad probably has a dhow from 8th century CE. That's about 1600 years of tech in between, in addition to what the crews would probably be armed with. I think it adds an interesting enough wrinkle.>I feel like Arthur would be better, for thematic reasons since they're both from the British Isles, and Lancelot was primarily a French invention. Plus the Irish v British shitposting would be fun.Possibly, but I'd like Lancelot to have a match where he truly shows off his relatively lesser known berserk side and I think Cu would be the perfect opponent. Plus, they're more directly comparable as the most famous of the warriors while Arthur is a king more comparable to Finn McCool. I think Finn has more themes in common with Arthur as well. There's also some fun contrasts with Lancelot's oneitis and Cu's manwhore status, Lancelot getting upstaged by his illegitimate son while Cu kills his, and as you said Lancelot is a foreign fanfic insertion while Cu is entirely native.
>>151706209>Basically Ghost Rider vs Spawn tier views.And they are never reaching that number of views easily again. The drop between Maka vs Ruby and the previous episodes isn't something that will go away. People aren't going to give up on adblockers just for Death Battle. That's stupid.
>>151706209There's a bunch of Season 1/2 fights that have millions more views than you'd expect simply because of age but I have to wonder if the landscape on YouTube was different back thenYou cannot convince me Tigerzord vs Epyon, Ryu Hayabusa vs Strider, Leonardo vs Zitz, Fulgore vs Sektor, He-Man vs Lion-O, etc would've still accrued the same amount of hits within the same timespan had they come out today Yeah I know most of these characters were more relevant back then compared to today (and arguably a vast chunk of Death Battle episodes we thought were accurate a decade ago have aged poorly in the research department) but stillHell, Joker vs Sweet Tooth probably wouldn't be as successful today even if Twisted Metal has that streaming show and Joker is....the Joker
Sailor Moon Vs Goku WAS a huge legacy match (and apparently they were originally going to do it in S2 before swapping it out for Goku Vs Superman 2), and there's also Goku Vs Sonic. They kind of blew the last big well of legacy matchups by making Goku fight Supes 3 times. I've heard Sailor Moon Vs Goku(canon versions of both) is extremely debatable nowadays somehow
>>151706207It's the>We thought *Insert Fanbase* would actually care episodeAlong with maybe Fate and Kamen Rider if Nero vs Geats does poorly
Mr Frog matchup is totally happening btwSo is Peter vs Homer
>>151706304A ton of people commented on Joker vs Sweet Tooth when it came out purely to complain that "uMm aCtuAlly Sweet Tooth is the car and Needles Kane is the guy"
>>151706304I think it's just a shift from classic vidya and cape skew to modern series skew, there's plenty of episodes from that era that still aren't super high for how old they are. You look 7 years from now and I'd expect something like Shigaraki vs Mahito to be past 10 million. Plus the internet was slightly tighter back then so it was easier for things to spread.
>>151706316Omnidock is a fight that SHOULD have drawn dimes because Dragon Ball consistently performs well and Omni-Man vs Homelander was a smash success but then Bardock lost killing the momentum.Not helped by how the research was very off to put it lightly >>151706337Most people actually young enough to matter here don't even know what Twisted Metal even isWhen some YouTuber (I think Alpharad) made a video on PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and played as Kratos only to find out Needles is his rival he was just utterly confused Hell, he's probably more recognized for being used as a model for those bs mobile game ads
>>151706387>Most people actually young enough to matter here Go spam 6 7 somewhere else, underage.
Is this the moment we collectively realize and agree Ben was right about Cole MacGrath vs Alex Mercer?
>>151706316Goku Vs Sonic works if you composite them. Goku Vs Sailor Moon works if you don't composite them.And I think nowadays Naruto fans want him to fight 18 Year Old Goku, like, from the end of the original Dragon Ball before the timeskip to Z.
>>151706402I'm in my 20's
>>151706403Tbf I think Colex actually did surprisingly well, and that was before they removed early releases to help with impressions too.
>>151706403What's his view and why is it correct now?
>>151706316Basically all the remaining legacy match-ups at this points are either alts of characters they've already done (Ash Vs Tai, Ash Vs Red, Goku Vs Sonic, Goku Vs Naruto, Goku Vs Sailor Moon) OR just random ass medicore Marvel Vs DC matches. They've done most of the good ones.
>>151706316How bullshit is Sailor Moon in comparison to Goku? I'm curious
>>151706424Ben thought the fight was one big meme in the community and that "nobody" really wanted it because both combatants were irrelevant Cole vs Alex basically set the stage for the big voted fights more or less being dedicated niche fandom satisfiers rather than dime raking hits
>>151706304>Joker vs Sweet Tooth probably wouldn't be as successful todayDitto. Dante's comeback is another indicator of this season's fallout. I expected everyone to ignore the obligatory RWBY fight and the terrible live-action battle, but I didn't expect Dante vs. Clive to do arguably worse than both. It did horribly compared to his first fight.
>>151706316Speaking of them, Sailor Saturn Vs Raven was the most popular request for both for years, but after people realized just how high they scaled Raven nobody wants her back anymore.Raven could solo almost all of the Marvel Universe at this point she's no fun.
>>151706461>terrible live-action battle,Dude Buffy vs Blade was great
>>151706322What does doing poorly mean in the context of a niche matchup chosen by around 2000 people?
>>151706463The Raven scaling was some actual bullshit too, it's funny how going too far into that directly just makes a character look lame, especially when Raven very clearly is not portrayed as a major cosmic power in DC like Phoenix is in Marvel.
>>151706442She's outstated these days in raw power, but Serena is a hax queen and it's unclear if Goku at his strongest canon form (True Ultra Instinct) could even keep her down when she's at full Lambda State - Serena-Cosmos brokenshit.
>>151706403>>151706453Nah, he was wrong about that.
>>151706482It means the series as a whole is tainted and will be seen as less of a priority for future episodesThere's a reason a researcher came out and said if we wanted more mythology fights, Wukong vs Hercules had to do well
>>151706463Sailor Saturn is the one that deletes the universe if you kill her right?
>>151706403The other options were garbage anyway
>>151706437The big ones left are the weird/difficult to portray ones that they've just been avoiding because DB hates doing unconventional fights.Star Fox vs Rogue Squadron is a big one, as is any variation of a Zerg, Flood and/or Tyranids army battle.
>>151706463It definitely was not, Raven always had more popular opponents, Phoenix included. Phoenix and Scarlet Witch were the two matches Ben said they most often saw for Raven back in 2018.
DMC went from 14 million views to 7 million, and now it cannot get even 2 million. The same goes for the Goku fights. The performance of each SvG episode is another obvious sign of the decline.
Best Henry Stickmin Opponent?
>>151706437Eh>Han vs Kirk/Chewbacca vs Worf>Dumbledore vs Gandalf>Minecraft Steve vs Terrarian>Aragorn vs Jon Snow>Zerg vs Tyranids/Starcraft race vs equivalent W40k race/Warcraft race vs equivalent Warhammer race>Peter vs Homer>Odin vs Zeus vs Ra>Lion vs Tiger>Donald vs Daffy/Mickey vs Bugs
>>151706515Wukong vs Hercules did pretty good didn't it? It's over 4 million. It might have picked up more views over time.
>>151706522....holy fuck you're right
>>151706541You just posted him
>>151706463>but after people realized just how high they scaled Raven nobody wants her back anymore.Blame it on Swank. >>151706528It also didn't help that the DB idiots thought glazing and sucking DC's dick would help them become rich.
>>151704730Guy from Sleeping Dogs, Shenmue, Nagoshi's new game or Mafia.
>>151706548Steve Vs Emmet got spitevoted HARD because people want Emmet to fight Jesse from Story Mode.
>>151706542>Lion vs TigerAlready solved that
>>151706559No, blame Speedy, Raven is his waifu
>>151706437>>151706526>>151706542Legacy match-ups in a vacuum aren't good enoughIt has to be something normalfags, YOUNG normalfags would care aboutBoba Fett vs Predator is a big legacy fight amongst normalfags and even the tripfagggot was surprised by the sheer amount of artwork dedicated to it and it did.....alrightHell, Blade vs Buffy and Maka vs Ruby are legacy fights and we saw how that turned out
>>151706542I'll give you 2, 6, and 9. The rest of them aren't big ticket OG True Legacy. And they aren't doing IRL animals, get Tierzoo to do that
>>151706542Dumbledore vs Gandalf would be hilarious because realistically Gandalf doesn't have an answer to Avada Kedavra outside of Eru letting him cheat death and come back (unlikely in this specific context) which would almost certainly piss off LotR fans.
Finn the Human and Jake the Dog vs Mordecai and Rigby would be something normal fags care about.
>>151706548What what the fuck we missed out on a dragon fight? That's bullshit.
>>151706586Maka Vs Ruby aged horribly. When Monty was alive and suggested it it was really fair since scaling was done completely differently, Maka got several orders of magnitude stronger thanks to scaling changes.
>>151706614Kratos vs Asura was much more important to teach the audience. Be a better man.
>>151706442She has a magic wish stone, like imagine on command no cool down Shenron
>>151706364Do young zoomers and alpha (normal ones, not perpetually online ones that infest Death Battle's discord and come up with dimeless fights) even have fresh vs debates that aren't centered around seasonal anime?When I was growing up we had Ash vs Yugi, Danny Phantom vs Ben 10 or Jake Long, Gandalf vs Dumbledore, Mewtwo vs Frieza (yeah, we were retarded), Naruto vs Aang (again, retarded), etc
>>151706548>DeathwingYou mean the jobber that my BELF Paladin defeated in Cata?
Suggest some fights that would bring in the zoomers and bonus points if the zoomer favored character would loseHornet (Hollow Knight) vs Erina (Rabi-Ribi) or Hornet vs Curly (Cave Story)
>>151706614IIRC Ben said they were trying to animate multiple heads before RT died hinting they were gonna do Ghidorah vs Deathwing anywaysHow's Warcraft lore scaling turning out these days?I remember the consensus being Ghidorah wins but Warcraft is severely underlooked in vs debating so it's true power was a mystery box like Buffy
>>151706646>and bonus points if the zoomer favored character would loseDude verdicts do matter If the more popular character going into the fight loses it's actually bad for the ad revenue which Death Battle desperately needs If Sweet Tooth beat Joker the episode would probably have struggled more
>>151706631It's probably stronger than that since Shenron very specifically is limited by the power of his creator and whatever rules his creator puts on him (which is why the main characters couldn't just wish for Vegeta and Nappa to die on their way to Earth, for example, since they were far stronger than Kami, or why Goku was able to just refuse the wish to return him to Earth after Namek blew up).
Here's Vergil vs Sephiroth after exactly 10 days. Just did okay. I think this one picked up more views retroactively when both got big memed media.
Thoughts on this matchup I came up with?
>>151706646Aqua and Kazuma (Konosuba) vs Saito and Louise (Familiar of Zero).>>151706649>Warcraft lore scalingDunno man, I clicked out after Shadowlands. All I know that Deathwing can crack the world, plus Old God magic, plus if you include the Demon Soul as part of Deathwing's arsenal.
>>151706586Asking for legacy fights aimed at a younger audience is something of a paradox, isn't it? That requires insane luck to catch a flash in the pan of a older property becoming popular again. Their best bet to catch the flavor of the month wave is probably Bakugo vs Reze. Trying to figure out which anime is going to be the upcoming flavor of the month is a task for madmen.
Sailor Moon is like, a fundemental part of the universe, the hope and inherent goodness in it, I'd argue in a lot of ways Superman has WAY more in common with Sailor Moon than he does with Goku
>>151706673Yeah but it's funny.>If Sweet Tooth beat Joker the episode would probably have struggled moreNah. Also not sure why you're stuck on that episode specifically.>>151706649>How's Warcraft lore scaling turning out these days?Messy. The player characters have already essentially defeated eldritch gods and cosmic entities, not much room to go further.
>>151706698All I remember, been a while since I've read the manga, is that there was another threat towards the end of the Manga, which was Sailor Chaos.
>>151706586I feel like EVA is a pretty safe bet
>>151706682>Saito and Louise (Familiar of Zero)Shit, haven't seen those names in a dog's age. Does Space Battles still masturbate to fanfic of Louise getting humiliated?
>Everyone keep using Shigaraki and Bowser's episodes as evidence of the channel doing fineThose happened before Youtube's bot and adblock purge, which is what's killing their channel. You can no longer use those two episodes' numbers as evidence of Death Battle still being healthy.
>>151706692>Bakugo vs Reze.The problem is that its appeal hinges on Reze winning which she just.....doesn'tIt's not even debatable, Bakugo just obliterates herIt's like Omni-Man vs Homelander if Homelander wonIt's like why the fanbase is split over Kevin McCallister vs Ghostface because if Kevin loses and Ghostface breezes through all his traps, it'll just be a grown adult (possibly two) just stabbing a child to death in his own home
>>151706676wall level Bejita is stronger than Kami?
Sorry if this is flooding the thread but I think this is an interesting string to look at, this is circa May 8th 2019. Marvel vs Marvel was a huge normie bait fight timed at exactly the right moment so it's a good reference point.
>>151706709Pretty much, Eva is their safest bet, and maybe Gundam Witch from Mercury. The literal biggest question is which Eva character, and who's their opponent. Maybe Eren, just to make it popular with normal fags.
>>151706702>Nah. Also not sure why you're stuck on that episode specifically.Because it's a classic case of when "popular character vs significantly less popular character" could still perform well because the former carries the latterNot so much now after Dante vs Clive
>>151706727At least with Ash vs Yugi you can kind of bullshit it as a monster summoning vs monster summoning fight, Lelouch literally just needs to tell Kaiba to kill himself.
>>151706723>The problem is that its appeal hinges on Reze winning which she just.....doesn'tDoes it actually? I thought the stan wars seemed pretty back and forth. There's likely a fair number of people who would like to see Bakugo win.
>>151706747They wouldn't do a Warhammer one, mainly because of the THREAT of being sued by GW
>>151706676Couldn't they wish for the life support system to fail on their ships?
>>151706745Or it was made back when people still cared about Death Battle and there wasn't so much retarded power scaling fatigue.A generational shift happened my guy, people that grew up on flash animations of Sonic goring Mario or Scorpion and Ryu fighting to the death because the later walked through a magic portal don't care anymore.
>>151706702>Messy. The player characters have already essentially defeated eldritch gods and cosmic entities, not much room to go further.How does that affect Deathwing?I remember reading Deathwing threatening the planet is more impressive than it sounds (which says a lot) because the planet was actually the body of some cosmic being or whatevert. Doesn't know shit about Warcraft and I'm going off of foggy memories
>>151706632Uhhh...Freddy Fazbear or Springtrap vs someoneSans vs someoneFortnite guy vs someoneMaybe something specific for MCU/DCUIt's difficult when outside of seasonal anime everything else is just circling.
You know how Beerus Vs Sailor Galaxia was a thing?Goku is weaker than Beerus, meanwhile Galaxia is weaker than Chaos and Chaos is weaker than Sailor Moon at her absolute most busted. And Usagi similar to Goku has a vague even more broken Future Form. Usagi/Serena at the end of the Manga acheived a Lambda State, which was even stronger than Chibi-Usa's Sailor Cosmos....despite the fact Chibi-Usa and Sailor Cosmos were the future version of Usagi(just from a dark timeline).So if Sailor Cosmos from that timeline is that broken, and present day younger Sailor Moon's Lambda state was even more broken that that...what the fuck is present day Lambda Power timeline Sailor Moon going to be like when she becomes Sailor Cosmos herself and is fully grown ruling Crystal Tokyo?(Oh yeah Sailor Moon kind of sort of becomes monarch of earth and everyone goes along with that)
>>151706753>Does it actually?Again, Omni-Man vs Bardock would've performed better had Bardock won
>>151706789
>>151706786They bluntly said a massively lowballed Beerus was stronger than a wanked Galaxia though
>>151706744Eren is screwed without the Rumbling, and if you give him that you give Shinji Third Impact and he just melts him.Also for some reason most Shinji matchups composite him while most Asuka matchups stick to NGE.
>>151706632>Do young zoomers and alpha even have fresh vs debates that aren't centered around seasonal anime?As a zoombro, Kinda? They all involve new anime. Bakugo vs Reze and anything JJK are all I can think of.
Take your most wanted episode Find a way for it to be so expensive it bankrupts Death Battle and forces everyone to get real jobs
Composite Adam Sandler vs Composite Dwayne Johnson
>>151706780Bendy vs Cuphead would have been perfect 5 years ago. That shit has reuploads with more views than most Death Battle episodes of the era. Now the iron is Ice-9 cold.
>>151706632>Do young zoomers and alpha even have fresh vs debates that aren't centered around seasonal anime?As a zoombro, Kinda? They all involve new anime. Bakugo vs Reze and anything JJK are all I can think of.All the matchups you listed involved media that ran when you were a kid.
>>151706776Power scaling is in this paradoxical position where it's simultaneously more popular than ever but it's heavily gentrified and crossovers period aren't that special because Fortnite happened
>>151706815Easy. Hire the actual Undertaker.
>>151706803I was saying that mostly to shut down the "Beerus beat Galaxia so Goku beats Sailor Moon" argument. Usagi at her strongest can wipe the floor with Galaxia and dealt with worse after her, Goku at his strongest can't beat Beerus.(And even then, yeah, Goku outstats, the problem is actually keeping Usagi dead. She could keep returning until Goku is exhausted and no longer has enough ki to resist being erased from existence...she can totally do that)
>>151706632We literally got one a couple of years ago in Gojo vs Makima and before that in Omni Man vs Homelander. They're around and easy to spot if you're clued in.
>>151706769Probably, but uhhh don't worry about it uh ki or something.>>151706777Eh. Deathwing threatening the planet was because Deathwing was powerful enough that he was literally reshaping the surface of the world (which the devs used as an excuse to completely remake the original continents questing experience), what you're probably thinking of was Sargeras essentially thrusting a massive sword into Azeroth, which was slowly killing it because it had pierced the slumbering titan that was resting in the planet's core or something along those lines.Regardless Deathwing is more of an apocalyptic threat than a genuine planet destroyer, from what I recall.
If Death Battle does run out of money what's stopping them from begging for more through Kickstarter?
The only thing I know about Sailor Moon is that apparently Tuxedo Mask's death got more and more toned down with each version (It was less bad in the dub than the sub anime and was even worse in the Manga)
>>151706866Tuxedo mask dies?????
>>151706806>Eren is screwedPretty much, the fight is going to centered around how wank can Berserk Unit-01 (T.V. series/Rebuild composite) against the Founding Titan. Along with Giant Naked Rei against the Founding Titan.>While most Asuka matchups stick to NGEKinda unfair, considering Asuka in the Rebuilds gets the most wank to her.
>>151706850>>151706833>Aren't centered around seasonal animeOmni-Man vs Homelander does count though even if both combatants are from the 2000'sFunny how the fanbase hated that fight upon reveal and assumed it was another Amazon Prime sponsored episode
>>151706859Diminishing returnsThey won't need another Kickstarter though, some anons showed a few threads ago that every episode should be making a profit if it gets past 1 million.
>>151706876If I remember correctly, he dies in the first season, and dies in the last season (comes back to life btw). Funniest part of the Sailor Moon is that Tuxedo Mask had to talk to Sailor Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto to STOP bullying his girlfriend, because at that point they (Mostly Uranus and Neptune) doubted Moon.
>>151706586Legacy for zoomzooms is fucking Freddy vs Bendy.
>>151706866That's accurate.In the dub he just leaves forever on a plane to America and is written off the series. In the sub he leaves on a plane, and it's later revealed that he was killed off-screen by Galaxia.In the Manga, Galaxia murders him while he's getting on the plane, right in front of Usagi, who is so traumatized by the event she blocks the memory out and convinces herself he got on the plane fine and is in America...and then gets confused and concerned when he never responds to any of her letters or writes back...
>>151706780Springtrap vs ChuckySans vs The Judge (OFF)>>151706789>>151706796I can't imagine at all how this ends in anything but a stomp for the Straw Hats.
>Ben....Ben bro...DUDE MY FAMILY IS GONNA STARVE BEN - Chad probably maybe
>>151706597I would take the L if it means troons seethe at Harry Potter winning. Tolkien wouldn't care about fanfiction so why should I.
>>151706911>BendyLiterally who??? Zoomerbro btw.
>>151706933>Tolkien wouldn't care about fanfictionDude he fucking seethed over anything that deviated from mythology or fairy talesI respect the man a lot but Tolkien's "wisdom" comes across more of an old guy going "not muh" over everything
>>151706930Gru vs Megamind will do goodLight vs Columbo is a bonus episode but will probably do goodAang vs Traveler will probably flopGeats vs Nero will probably flop but there's an off chance it does better than expected given the fanbases like powerscaling
>>151706786Yeah that happened.For context, Sailor V takes place from 1991-1992 and Sailor Moon's main story from 1992-1995. She founds the Empire of Crystal Tokyo in 2000 and by 2005 has unified Earth(she goes by Serena instead of Usagi by that point).
>>151706961
>>151706745I don't think Dante is as big as some think he is. I would put him around the same level as Vergil in terms of popularity, who fought Sephiroth, and remember, DMC vs FF got only around 7 million views. It's likely that Dante only did well in season 3 because his fight came out exactly when Bayonetta was released on Smash. Take away Bayonetta or the Smash novelty factor, add 7 DB seasons of gradual decline, and you get Dante vs Clive.
>>151706979This isn't hugely better but that's a region locked reupload
>>151706542>Peter vs Homer Already happened.>Lion vs TigerTiger stomps hard.
>>151706815>Georgia the state vs Georgia the countryThey sued by both.

>>151706542Isn't Zeus the only one of those three that's actually immortal?I mean Odin is kind of immortal but only thanks to magic fruit.
>>151706983It was posted earlier in the thread but Vergil vs Sephiroth only got 1.5 million views after 10 days.>>151706677DMC stuff boosted over time.
>Ben..Ben my man...we only made it through the Winter because Ash vs Yugi..when we had three duds in a row my kids had to eat old boots from the dumpster. BEN WHY DID YOU THINK AANG VS TRAVELER WAS A GOOD IDEA!?
>>151706938Proves my point, zoomers span a large spectrum (both spectrums kek).
>>151706442Toriyama goku losses against takeuchi usagi given the sailor superior speed, hax, and energy levels. Mangaku is pretty weak.
>>151706966>Sailor V takes place from 1991-1992??????
Is Assassin's Creed still popular? Maybe they could rake in some of those AssCreed fans.
So basically>before ad block views stopped being counted DB was doing same as always>after led to a like 30%-ish reduction>they should still be fine but will need to do more zoomer shonen fights if it becomes an issue?
If Vergil vs Sephiroth had been released precisely when the latter was announced for Smash, that episode would've gotten over 10M. >>151707027>DMC stuff boosted over time.And now look at how Dante vs Clive is fighting to reach 2M. Or Maka vs Ruby. Worst performing fight of the season.
>>151707043Assassin's Creed Battle Royale used to be one of the most popular match-up suggestions back when it was just four to five guys in hoods running aroundNot so much anymore

>>151706961Geats vs Nero would've gained better chances had Fate/Extra Record come out already instead of staying in development hell.
>>151707031Check out the Kickstarter thank you vid they did. Chad looked rough in it lmaooo. That nigga is basically doing this shit for money.
>>151706961Anon, there is literally no way Geats vs Nero does well. Neither series is particularly big or even well known outside of Japan. This is made worse by the fact that this isn't even a proper matchup, it's literally made up via fan votes on a tourney post. The only reason you even see pics of the mu is explicitly because of DB, no one made them regularly
>>151707073>Fate/Extra RecordThe new Nero game and her death battle will flop. I've no doubts.
>>151707062>Battle Royale>5 guys Altair, Ezio, Connor, Edward, and Arno? It's a toss-up, but the real finale in that match-up would probably be Connor and Ezio.
>>151704564Who's that fighting henry
>>151707078>Chad's family is gonna have to hunt Caribou with their bare hands because a bunch of autistic fucks with too much money and too much time voted for a dimeless fight

>>151706815>Gordon Freeman vs Isaac ClarkeHire Keanu Reeves to voice Gordon
>>151707031>BEN WHY DID YOU THINK AANG VS TRAVELER WAS A GOOD IDEA!?Columbo, man. The Bleach fight will likely also flop, mostly due to Bleachfags hating DB. Maybe they should try getting real jobs, since also Torrian has a kid.
Maybe DB should do celebrity match-ups like they did in S1. Justin Bieber vs Rebecca Black like, just for those controversial views.
>>151706833What really helped Bakugo vs Reze catch on is that the fanbases for those seasonals are constantly at each other’s throats on twitter. A lot of matchups today that fail to reach notoriety are because there's no rivalry or resentment building it up. Superman vs Goku used to actually be a real argument, not some friendly sporting competition where the winner's fans open wide for the loser's cock after the battle as a pity. It's so rare now to something build up like that naturally
>>151707106Torrian actually made it in the industryThe animators who haven't are kind of fucked if AI doesn't burst Musicians can live off of commissions...maybe Does Swan want to do theater acting or is still a bartender?Chad is unironically probably in a better position than Ben concerning a resume since he did other stuff at RT but probably not by much
PoC and Netflix killed the DMC hype. It will be at the earliest 4 years till there's a new DMC game.
Bakugo vs Reze and Goku vs Sonic will SAVE death battle
>>151707088Problem Sleuth, the titular stickman detective protagonist of a parody choose your own adventure webcomic hosted on MS Paint Adventures. In some freak coincidence of fate, his webcomic and the first Henry Stickmin flash game were both released in 2008.
I don't understand what the actual numbers are, someone just give me the rundown on if DB is making its budget back or not
>>151707136>Torrian actually made it in the industryAnother anon said he's going back to being a DB animator. Maybe he lied though.
>OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR BEN! I DON'T CARE IF IT'S CRINGE YOU WILL DO SKIBIDI TOILET ON DEATH BATTLE SO HELP ME!
Now that DB is dying, who's willing to fill its niche. Even if you end up around a 100k average channel. What will be your philosophy and matchups?
>>151707142Has it better than Ace Attorney fans eating scraps of absolutely nothing.
>>151707124>just for those controversial views.SvG2 is literally what hurt their channel the most, and what made normalfags drop them.
>>151707129True. I've recently entered into the Chainsaw Man circles because of the new movie. There is a huge rivalry with especially JJK and secondarily Dandadan. We all hate each other. There is constant daily beef. I'm dubbing CSM, JJK, and DDD as the big three of our time.
>>151707124Ben would rather let Death Battle die He regrets Bieber vs Black and immediately marked it as cringe when they made a tier list
>>151707156He was, Torrian works at Respawn. He's still friends with the DB team and wanted to do a match for them in his spare time.
>>151707156It would be real weird of him to go back to Death Battle animation full time instead of being employed as a legit animator by Respawn.
>>151707074Biden economy hit him hard

Thoughts on Luz Vs Akko?
>>151707164I will pay Chad 100 bucks for a Cameo of him saying DB is for faggots and to subscribe to my channel. The first fight will be Skibidi Toilet vs Minecraft.
>>151707164>Now that DB is dying, who's willing to fill its nicheMany anime indie channels are doing stuff like Saitama vs JJK and that sort of stuff. We had Vegeta killing Superman and Hulk in one of those.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M17PLdBMcbk
>>151707164Versus matches are always going to be a finite thing when the passion behind doing the research/animating the fight runs out. I'd probably do a few match-ups I'm genuinely interested before calling it quits.
>>151707171There's a whole generation of viewers who never saw that episode thoughA vast chunk of Death Battle's audience straight up does not remember when Goku vs Superman 1 first droppedThey don't remember the OG Screwattack G1 site, the original G1 blogs, the podcast where Swan and Ultraguy allegedly called Ben and Chad slurs, the original Wily vs Eggman rundowns with each individual subordinate, the gag reveal of Cloud's opponent being Aerith, etc because they were too young
>>151707164With trump's economy, death battle isn't the only that's dying anon
>>151707208I'd rather they do Diana vs Amity
People counting views got to remember Death Battle reaction content only blew up in 2015. (Specifically it was Luigi Vs Tails and especially the Pokemon Battle Royale, doing 2 high profile normie safe matchups back to back helped a lot). Prior to that outside of Goku Vs Superman they didn't get talked about much and weren't utterly dominant in the VS Community the way they are now.
Caine vs Monika incoming to milk that TADC hype train.
Maybe DB should do a 2B vs XJ9 fight just to rake in the waifu fags. Even though the fucking scaling is off, it'll probably draw in attention for people.
>>151707203>Omni Man vs HomelanderHow was that a controversial fight? It was an obvious stomp match. You missed the point of the discussion.
There is literally nothing wrong with being a lolicon.
>>151707240Wow, DB are assholes for killing off other people's livelihood. How will SuperDee362 buy his food now if every matchup DB is a flop?
>>151707254I mean that there was no episode that ever made normies drop DB, they're not a monolith. The best performing episodes have always just been the big topical matches timed right like Omni Man vs Homelander or Thanos vs Darkseid.
>>151707261Speezenator...
>>151707261Not now, Bejita/Dante/Hal fan, we're discussing the future of the DB.
>>151707208That's one of those matchups that is kinda of screwed by timing. If Amphibia and The Owl House came out 5 years apart, Akko would be Luz's matchup 100% and Anne would be fighting....eh she's got a couple options actually (Movie Sonic, Fone Bone, Kris Dreemurr, I like Hikaru from Magic Knight Rayearth best). But the Amphibia and Owl House fandoms are just way too tightly linked to not do that.
>>151707240To be fair, people stuck with channel due to being a remnant of a better era of YouTube. And their rise of popularity coincidentally aligned with the jeetification of the internet as a whole, where normies gathered around non jeet communities.
>unprompted pedophilia by listtroonNice exhibitionism reveal, faggot.
>>151707164Spoony will bring Deadliest Character back from the ashes, you’ll see.
>DMC stuff boosted over timeWhy did this flop so hard then?
>>151707251They should make Jenny GAPE whatever Murder Drones bitch people want her to fight.
>>151707251Is My Life As A Teenage Robot's popularity still strong? I can understand 2B's popularity, but is XJ9's popularity still as strong?
>>151707287You know that was a parody series right?
>>151707303>Is My Life As A Teenage Robot's popularity still strong?lmao fuck no
>>151707290NTA but wasn't the point that Sephy v Vergil picked up views over a long span of time? It's been a month and Clive is less known than Sephiroth.
>>151707305Nigga, and?
>>151707290Because again, a popular character cannot carry a significantly less popular character anymoreLast time it happened was Carnage vs Lucy
>>151707303I'm 19 and have never watched a single episode
>>151707318Does Simon vs Kyle count? That episode did pretty well for two completely irrelevant characters. Kyle isn't even called Green Lantern in the title.
>>151707240Death Battle only became THE Vs Community after that(really solidified by about 2017). I was constantly googling VS Matchups of various characters in 2011 and 2012 as a kid and I never saw Death Battle until I eventually stumbled onto Batman Vs Spiderman on the bottom of a google results page. As late as early 2015 you were still getting mostly Mugen results.
>>151707178MHA is always in a war. CSM, JJK, Boruto, DS sometimes they go after One Piece or Invincible. The weirdest one was when they somehow clashed with Sonic.Exe
>>151704564I can't wait for geats vs nero to flop so they letting stop asking discord retards astroturf SNCA bullshit
>>151707326That fight was carried by:>The Gurren movies being a few years recent>Kyle being dubbed as the greatest Lantern >Mostly Green Lantern adjacent from Ben vs Hal
>>151704624Why does this keep getting posted? Is there something bait worthy about this?
>>151707290Dante was carried by Smash/Bayo overlap. As they said, otherwise, his fight would've performed equal to Sephiroth vs Vergil.>>151707318Exactly, Dante cannot carry a Death Battle by himself. Honestly, I'm beginning to think Sephiroth and FF7 remake carried his DB more than DMCfags think. But if Vergil vs Sephiroth had overlapped with FF7 Remake's announcement or his Smash trailer, it would've killed it.
>>151707326The DB Community just really, really, really wanted that one. (They WERE going to call him Green Lanturn in the title, it was going to be Green Lantern Vs Gurren Laegan like in the teaser, but the diehard fans told them not to)
Endeavor vs Shou Tucker.
>>151707359Autism
>>151707351It'll only flop if it flops to the extent where membership payment doesn't make up for the bombing
Remember the threads were semi-celebrating DB's death pre-KS then when it was a successful campaign, the detractors started to clap back. Then immediately after the early reveal of Omnidock's result practically deflated the hype. I will say that this is the most entertaining era of DB solely based on the internal drama of its survival. It's teetering on alive and dead and that uncertainty is definitely hitting the crew.
>>151707239I think Eda's bitch sister Vs that chick with the floating cubes is the more popular one. (Can someone give me the names I forgot)
>>151707363>The DB Community just really, really, really wanted that one.That's like what? Only a thousand retards who pay Death Battle? How many voters did the last island polls have?
BBC vs White culture would do extremely well.
inb4 Death Battle gets sponsored by the SaudisWhat episodes do we get?
>>151707393Around 1000, I think
>>151706437>>151706542>one of the greatest legacy matchups>it'd be a guaranteed flop if they actually did do itI seethe
>>151707389Lilith and Croix?
>>151707368Tranny thinks it'll bait his ashfag boogeymen but it never works. He usually samefags it, too lol.
>>151707397Allah vs the trimurti
>>151707363>DB CommunityWhat was their reasoning, again? Literally when I first heard of Simon vs Kyle I was baffled. What's the connection?
>>151707409>Around 1000, I thinkDeath Battle is fucked. I also do recall around 1000 on the Nero poll.
>>151707411>>151707389>Croix I hate that bitch like you wouldn't believe
>>151707397Allah stomping the Trimurti, or Ali ibn Abi Talib stomping Krishna or Rama
>>1517073932200 votes on the last poll, so accounting for other members probably like 2500ish
>>151707078If Geats vs Nero bombs it'll be a pyrrhic victory since it wasn't even the most popular match-up idea for both series'
>>151707397Definitely a Grendizer match-up
Freddy Vs Pennywise or Freddy Vs Killer Bob?
>>151707397Ronaldo vs Messi (Composite)>>151707432Strong and green willpower (Spiral isn't even that). Also more likely a stealth Benfag runback.
Who can allah beat?
>>151707440>>151707431>Death Battle pissing off the vast majority of IndiaThe jokes write themselves
>>151707444>2200 votes on the last pollThat's how irrelevant they are, huh? They have to survive from 2k reta- donators, to fund their seasons because of AdBlock killing their ad revenue.
>>151707326>irrelevant>SimonSimon is one of the most popular main characters in anime.
>>151707480Saudi money>>>indian tears
>>151707460Freddy vs Pennywise would draw more dimes
>>151707486Anon, it's okay.
>>151707437>>151707411>>151707389Croix can literally erase peoples memories, and has a pollen that can steal peoples magic. Lillith is cooked
>>151706815>spear and fang vs San and MoroLiterally have it be a ten minute fight with extremely high quality 2D animation, with some studio la cachette animators hired for the episode.
>>151707493>>151707460I don't even know who Bob is
>>151707486>AdBlock killing their ad revenueThe Adblock changes explicitly don't affect ad revenue, the fact that ad revenue stayed the same is how people realized it was due to Adblock in the first place.
When was the time that DB started doing respectful deaths?
>>151707513They need 10 sponsors for that.
>>151707474Baal even if that's a mirror match
>>151707528Twin Peaks
>>151707531Depends how you look at it. Jonathan vs Tanjiro maybe.
>>151707531Jonathan vs Tanjiro and Magneto vs Tetsuo, so early season 9
>>151707531Yoda vs King MickeyIIRC Ultraguy went on record about why they had Yoda show up as a force ghost in the endUr-example is Raven vs Horse because Ben didn't want to traumatize kids who clicked on the episode
>>151707549Baal/Moloch has jewish kabbalah magic at his disposal. Missmatch
Does Ben deserve to come back?
>>151707460Freddy vs Candyman
I for one cannot wait for death battle to die. Shit hasn’t been good since season 6.
>>151706816Composite Sandler is for Composite Jim Carrey
>>151707531First instances are All Might vs Guy, Tanjiro vs Jonathan, and Yoda vs King Mickey.
>>151707361Dantefags are butthurt that without Bayofags, their self-insert did worse than fucking Ruby. It's not like they can do Dante vs Bayo again, because one died weeks ago and the other one has a fanbase that actively hates DB. That's it for DMC and Bayo in DB. Great handling of both franchises, DB.
>>151707535The point was to make it expensive as fuck.
>>151707574If he has new material sureComics probably won't give him thatIt's not like Transformers or Power Rangers where their comics are mostly close enough to be composited with an evergreen depiction, the guy writing it outright compared the take to Absolute DC so odds are it'll be too distinct for a composite
>bayonetta carried danteThis has to be the most delusional mindset someone has unironically had in these thread
>>151707578>Shit hasn’t been good since SvG2 and Gaara vs TophFTFYThe Bieber episode was also bad but that one was more of a mean-spirited outlier.
>>151707577DB doesn't have the balls to do it correctly
>>151707612You have to understand Bayoschizo has been seething about this shit for a decade now, it's not going to end at anytime soon
>>151707567I mean nobody has a problem with Evangelion
>>151707612The Smash inclusion, retard. Keep up with the posts. Dante's first DB overlapped with a Smash announcement.
>>151707604Post yfw this guy gapes alien x
>>151707633He's started going back in time to look at comments on old Death Battle videos to find some kind of conspiracy shit, dude is unhinged
Reminder Sonic RAPES and GAPES Goku and his entire verse
Bayo did carry Dante. BTW she should've won but dB is gay
Imagine if the kino that was Raiden vs Wolverine was done today. Instead of an actually interesting conclusion with speculation on how the Murasama would interact with admantium given how other similar materials react with it. We’d have gotten outerversal Wolverine skeleton with infinite speed from tagging Thor once. And the animation would be by devilartemis and thus shit.
Given that romans raped jews harder than trump is raping the economy, doesn't this mean that jupiter/zeus is stronger than yahweh?
>>151707649uh the db has more views than Bayonetta's actual Smash trailer.
>>151707633>>151707612Hi, Ebenezer. Are you going to keep spamming Youtube comment sections and pretending to be more than one guy? SrJaime must be feeling lonely without you. >>151704703 >>151704806Also, are you the smurf dude from G1? Did you cook the fake scans?
Dante vs Bayo did well because it's a classic well known rivalry fight and had a good animation so people rewatch it and share it a lot which stacks up over 10 years. It's not that complicated
>bayoschizo>Scoutschizo>gamerafag (MIA)>Nikoschizo/ohnofag>listroonWho else can join our big schizo avengers team?
>>151707644Evangelion did it for artistic purposes
>>151707694dude
>>151707706Does Otto count or is his schizo tendencies too specific to certain episodes and twitter?
>>151707694nigga Dante obviously should have lost both of his fights on DB and should have fought Spider-Man or some shit, but you need to take your meds
>>151707719Otto is a tripfag aka attention whore
>>151707684Smash Ultimate alone has around 37 million sales. Add also 4 sales. Also, Smash ads are everywhere, not just Youtube. And Nintendo has multiple channels for each region. I think the sales speak for themselves. Mario, Zelda, and Steve are the only IPs with more sales than the Smash, IIRC. Only characters not carried by Smash.
genuinely what is it about bayonetta that she has multiple fans like this lol
Why hasn’t DB used Eva yet? It’s one of the most influential anime of all time.
>>1517077122 open browsers or a phone can do the trick. We aren't new, Ebenezer/Dantefag.
>>151707735Smash boost is overhypedI'm dead serious by the waySmash Bros has never actually directly helped carry a series in a meaningful way
>>151707739Bayo is stronger than Dante. The dude who made the characters said so
>>151707739>multiple
>>151707739Coomers tend to be very mentally ill.
>>151707735Smash boost is legit a myth. There's no actual evidence for it. Fire Emblem was localized due to Advance Wars, not Melee.
>>151707739simps'feminists'bayonetta should have beaten dante so they've allowed this victim complex to fester for 10 years instead of letting go same thing happened with tifa which is why you still see that one retard, but you rarely see this happen with gaara because people generally like the character but aren't fucked in the head about it since he isn't a hot woman
>>151705021>>151705373>>151705457>>151705539>>151705656>>151705729>>151705936Kill yourself listtroon.
>>151707739Ebenezer, what's up? You thought you could pay Death Battle and spam comments without people noticing? Or do you prefer to be called Donnie? Mark? Memes? B3Truth? Smurf?
>>151707739Troons, unironically, look up the comorbidity between dysphoria and narcissism
>>151707773Don't forget, Fire Emblem was gonna die until Awakening happened
Two weeks ago you were seething over a random Death Battle wiki post and now you're having a schizo meltdown over YT nobodies and stalking them, are you okay Bayobro?
>>151707785What?
>>151707762>Bayo is stronger than Dante. The dude who made the characters said soIt's a Dantefag who pretends to be many different people, see >>151704806 >>151704703 >>151704517He's been doing it for years. We are annoying him on purpose. He's also a DB member, so even more reason to bully him.
>>151707769> attractive women badDbgaybro..
>dante mindbroke an anon THIS hardOuterversal feat? Why was this not factored in against Clive?
>>151707821Clive mindbroke Barry so it would have evened out yet again.
>>151707622t. Mr. Enter
>>151707779Bayonetta should've beaten Dante because she's stronger. Nothing to do with her being attractive
I never realized how apt this thumbnail actually was, Bayoshizo needs meds
someone bait the makimabro into coming out I want to see that fight
>>151707708I'm pretty sure Anno read that one book on Kabbalah that was a fad in Japan in the late 80s and just rolled with it
Bayonetta would probably just lose to Makima, how does she get around the mind control?
>>151707821>dante mindbroke an anon THIS hardNo, the other way around. A Bayofag named Sergio or SrJaime mindbroke Ebenezer Stooge. SrJaime baits him, so Ebenezer created multiple fake accounts to pretend that other people agree with him. He started doing this 2 years ago. These are all the same people. He has to be one of the guys banned from Vsbattles.
>>151707158I was there when Chad said this.
>>151707852Unironically she can't desu
>>151707706Beyonderbro as Thanos
>>151707857This is autism incarnate.
Bros... they found me out...
>>151705005cont. I'm glad the spamming Dantefag got to drop exactly before I left. Luring him out was worth it. Dude, who the fuck pays a Youtube channel to kill off his self-insert?
>>151707633Dante vs Bayonetta was inaccurate Sure and so is a good chunk of episodes that came out back then either in retrospect or because of simply being outdated with new materialBomberman vs Dig Dug, Toph vs Gaara, Ryu vs Strider, Ryu vs Jin, Tigerzord vs Epyon, Pikachu vs Blanka, etc but we don't seethe over it because it's been YEARSHell it makes less sense to seethe over it because the research team who run the show's verdicts now always hated the verdictBayoschizo's the second worst case I know of someone not letting shit go
Reminder they confirmed Gaara vs Toph came last when they did the rematch poll last year because everybody knows its wrong but literally nobody cares enough to actually want to run it back as opposed to just giving Gaara a new opponent.
>>151705394>>151705409Kill yourself listtroon.
>>151707918I don't think people want to see a blind girl get crushed to death
SrJaime and Ebenezer (probably not even their real names) can keep bickering over this pointless debate for all I care. Let those two kill each other. The rest of the fans have nothing to worry about. Death Battle is in decline, the Bayofags are vocal DB haters, and I doubt Dante will get another fight before DB shuts down.
>>151707969G1 had her lose to Terra iircThough yeah I don't think anybody wants to see Toph lose
>>151707918Atla and the naruto fandom don't have animosity with one another, so that helped a lot.
Give me realistic estimates for how much longer DB will last.
>>151707979Yeah they did and wrote a script of her being burned by lava IIRC
Toph beats Gaara easily. Cope
>>151707874Funny thing is that it was a Vergilfag who exposed his autism, not a Bayofag. Even DMCfags shit on each other.https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/151207058/#151207174
>>151707901It's the fact a hot woman lost when she shouldn't haveYou see the same behavior with Tifa, and while I've never read JJK I feel like Gojo vs Makima was probably wrong/debatable enough that we also have an insane Makimafag who sharts up the thread every so oftenI guarantee if Killua beat Misaka or whatever we'd have a similar schizo based on that episode as well
>>151707918Are you saying Gaarafags are...better men?
We NEED more match ups with moe cuties! That'll save death battle.
>>151707992Honestly if they play it safe they could go on indefinitely Just have mostly bangers, a few passion project duds and maybe a risk here and there and they should be goodThe bangers need to hit thoughAt least one or two Bowser vs Eggman tier fights to carry the momentum
>>151707992Being real I think it's likelier it would end from Ben losing interest and not passing the torch than it would from money concerns
>>151708004
>>151708002>You see the same behavior with Tifa,That's who I was referring to when I said Bayoschizo's the SECOND worst person when it comes this lol
>>151707992Views wise it should be able to go on basically forever. Realistically I'd say 5 more years before Ben and Chad call it quits.
Are Benfags still ragingly bitter over Ben vs Hal? Wonder how many DBs we have with a large portion of people still angry months/years later
>>151708002>Gojo vs Makima was probably wrong/debatable enough Moreso debatable, G1 had Gojo winning by only a single vote I think. The Makima bro's arguments for her winning are awful though.
>>151707992They could have lasted another 15 seasons, easy. But they OMNOM'd all the top matchups as fast as they could, and now they're leaning heavily on powerscaling retardation that annoys and turns off normies.They'll be lucky if they last two more seasons in this state.
>>151707992Whales are willing to pay and blue chew has many customers in red states
>>151708030Some areMost moved on even if they disagree stillKuro even got the "Time Huh" shirt and referenced it in his comic
Isn't DB doing fine and we can calc it to be doing fine
Post matchups only your /cunt/ will understand.>Tiga vs Kuuga
>>151708030You still see people argue about it when it comes up but it's also been kind of embraced as a meme.
>>151707857>They all misspell Kamiya the same way.
>>151708030It gets brought up when people get mad about DB. When people were seething over Clive's win for instance a lot of DMCfags were crying about how Ben vs Hal meant DB had no validity. On it's own, I don't think Benfags really care or even disagree with the verdict anymore because people are now very aware of how retarded comics scaling is
>>151708057It's fine now but have you noticed there's been an upward trend of YouTubers retiring despite seemingly doing fine?What makes Death Battle so different?
>>151708057Trump's economy is making small businesses wary of their future. So I don't blame ben/chad if they quit in the coming years
>>151708057They should still be making a profit on every episode so they're not at risk. They might just do more shonen fights to balance out the ad blocker reduction.
>>151708003TheyJustMovedOnPeople tried memeing Charizard losing another fight but actual fans don't give a shit because most of Charizard's fanbase's infamous reputation came from how hostile they were to OTHER Pokemon
>>151707852Bayonetta is stronger than any devil in csm so makima would likely just send her to hell? Im sure bayo can just break out though and wipe Japan's entire population if need be.
Remember how they outright said that WB made them do the capeshit spam for years? That was funny.
>>151708085There were whales who paid over a thousand dollars for their favorite web series to continue. This is why death battle isn't going to die through conventional means. Rich autistic whales will pay whatever price necessary for their hobby to continue existing.
>>151708130I thought the only request they got was for a Mortal Kombat episode which is how we got Johnny Cage vs Captain Falcon?
>>151708130AFAIK the only episode they ever said Warner Bros told them to do outright was Johnny Cage vs Captain Falconhttps://rtarchive.org/watch/death-battle-with-commentary-2019-7-2They talk about it here but Warner told them to make an episode to promote MK11 and they had to make it in a few months, they decided on this because Ben wanted to use Cage and Falcon
>>151708143Whales are how we're getting dimeless fights like Geats vs Nero
Makimas mind control isn't even good as angel was able to break out of it even momentarily to try and attack her
>>151708153>>151708148>WB thought a fanfiction show was a good way to promote their upcoming gameNo wonder they were bought out.
>>151708163Trust fund, dubai going, upper class whales will fund the most awful, degenerate, and disgusting MUs while they share the videos with their friends at the day program
desu the fact the Members make up a large part of earning back costs mean DB might want to pander to them a little
>>151708192They mention it in the commentary but they were confused when they got the request because MK11 was out in a week and the episode wouldn't be coming out until summer at the earliest, so they just decided to loosely time it around RTX instead.
I wouldn't be surprised if Death Battle going all out with legacy matches was half of them trying to keep the show afloat and half being them covering as much ground before sinking
>>151708203That's why Nero was even an option. If they thought it was such a dimeless fight that it would tank the show they could have just not put it on. Since it's a members event the point was to let members pick what they wanted.
Why so much doom posting about dB dying
Imagine the timeline where Netflix had also bought the rights to DB
>>151708211iirc Ben admitted part of the reason they did Goku vs Superman 3 in season 10 was because they could see the writing on the wall with Rooster Teeth and wanted to do it just in case the show died for good as a send-off.
>>151708230>squid game episode>stranger things episode
>>151707779>same thing happened with tifa which is why you still see that one retard>He thinks it's just one retardTifa is way too popular and iconic for just one person to hate her rigged Death Battle. All those dislikes aren't just from one individual... Unlike Ebenezer's comments.
Its a good thing db kept going and made Kratos vs asura which is a way better episode than goku vs superman 3
>>151708227Because trump's economy is heading to a recession. So the question is: are whales and blue chew going to fund this fanfiction show during these difficult times?
I donated to the KS, if they do another one I won’t donate again.
>>151708281They could also take gambling sponsors which are something that brings infinite moneh
>>151708227The adblock purge killed Death Battle's views. From the last 4 fights, only Ash vs Yugi did well. And even that MU could have done better if it weren't for the purge.
I remember thinking to myself post-Roosterteeth death about how DB for better or for worse, represented general powerscaling consensus for its respective time periods, and how it'd be interesting to see for how long it'd be gone until Ben figures out Patreon money so it is funny that it basically immediately happened, just with Youtube Membership instead
>>151708249The second Disney Princess Battle Royale the Musical happens is the moment we'll know it's the end (Unless it's announced before hand)
>>151708294>donating to the kickstarterTsk tsk anon. Do your part to SAVE copyright law.
>>151708030Superman has Goku, Flash has Sonic. Every Justice League member needs to brutally murder some non Marvel character to earn that fanbase's eternal hatred. First match up that comes to mind is Batman vs Finn the Human but the remaining AT fans hate Finn anyway so that wouldn't work.
>>151708304I gave db like ten dollars during yugi va ash going live so they should be good for the next twenty years
>>151708299>have a lot of underage fans>sponsored by bluechew, Adam and Eve, gacha games, hims and various gambling sites
>>151708339Didn't Ben say they got a weirdly high number of actual purchases on all the viagra products
>>151708337>I gave db like ten dollarsEnough to feed Torrian and Chad's kids.
>>151708360>>151708360>>151708360
>>151708339Good, fuck them kids
>>151708349>Death Battle viewers aren't manly enough to satisfy womenNo surprise the fandom is filled with incels, since most hate the female vs female episodes.
