Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
Spoilerfrom what was demonstrated, you can, its just widely accepted that the one doing the cutting isnt doing it fast enough to outpace the regeneration. Shadow is so far beyond her speed that it really shouldn't of been a question of if he could speed blitz paste her. And as I said in this thread, a LOT of Shadow's feats was done with his limiters on, including the ones when he went super. Him without limits in super is something never seen, but if he can tank the collapse of a reality with limits..

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
There is talk of new feats, of which I have no knowledge, but Lex Luthor did lose to Iron Man last time.
So, "scales to Superman" isn't massively indicative of auto-win, I guess. Also, Doom is somewhat comparable to Iron Man -- even being Iron Man not too long ago.

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
Hmm. Doom vs. Luthor is an interesting one.
Both have reality-warper-level feats, although I'm pretty sure that in both cases, they had outside buffs.
I'd probably give Lex the edge in terms of sheer brainpower- the dude is the supergenius' supergenius. Doom, on the other hand... his trump isn't his intelligence (which is admittedly insane, even by comic book standards)... but rather his raw will. Once Doom has set his mind to something, it seems like the only thing that can seriously stop him is him changing his mind. And occasionally RICHAAAAAAARDS!!! of course. He's flat-out ignored Killgrave's control from point-blank range, continued his single-minded pursuit of his goal while in the middle of being ripped apart atom by atom by the Beyonder, choked out a lion with his bare hands while stark naked, and so forth.
Doom also has his robot armies of various sorts. I don't know of Lex having anything equivalent to that, unless they allow him parademons from his time ruling Apokolips or something.
Tough call- my instinct says 'Doom', but Lex is definitely still a contender.

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
SpoilerConsidering they didn't even mention how it worked, I'm not inclined to think they presented the info correctly. They also didn't go over the sheer stupidity of Raygo still managing to speak and talk after having her head cut down the middle. Her regeneration isn't based off being faster than what is damaging her, it still happens like normal regeneration, IE, getting cut up, and healing after you've been cut up. It just doesn't happen automatically if you cut both side simultaneously
I'll grant that complete eradication of Ryuko would work, but that's at planet busting levels, which before this episode I didn't think Shadow had. Mind you, I'm still not 100% that Shadow does have that. The moving pieces of the planet feat is not nearly as impressive as it sounds, because the planet wants to do that anyways. It wants to fall back together due to gravity. It only isn't do so in this specific scenario because of some sealed monster Eggman unleashed. Using the Chaos Emeralds is just restoring that seal, it has nothing to do with power at all. Also their math was wrong because they didn't subtract the Outer core's mass as well as the inner core.
So to calculate it, they should be calculating the force of gravity the planet is exerting on itself and subtracting that from the force Shadow needs to move the planet in the first place.
EDIT: Looked into the planet moving feat, I'm really not inclined to give it to Shadow. For starters, Sonic wasn't the one to do that either. It was putting the Chaos Emerald in a specialized Temple that allowed it to happen and that Temple was needed to charge the gem in the first place. And it metaphorically 'heals' the planet by doing so, so you could argue the pieces aren't being moved by force either.
Oh and from the same game, Sonic with all 7 Gems, was only able to blind the monster that tore the Earth apart in the first place.Last edited by Forum Explorer; 2021-03-22 at 11:35 PM.

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
Spoiler: This time!Once again, I'm not convinced they were wrong with the result here. I just think they picked the worst possible way to go about it. Once they decided they tweet confirming Kill la Kill was shadow's favorite anime was canon, which considering it was from the official twitter in an "ask a character a question" context I think is a fair assessment, then it was already over. Just say he uses that knowledge and his super speed to end her and move on. Instead they start playing 4d chess against themselves trying to justify this brute force approach that arguably doesn't work and only shows off how ignorant they were of the finer details of both series.Thanks to Linklele for my new avatar!

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
It depends, Ultimate Alucard had three million extra lives, multiple powerful thralls he could call on to make life difficult, as well as his own power speed strength and weaponry. Im not sure what the official ruling was for alucard at the end of his series, he absorbed schrodinger and had to get rid of his millions of lives, but I think he got everywhere and nowhere as a passive ability meaning he doesnt die because he wasnt there to be killed or some such thing.

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
In order to kill the one from Hellsing, you have to destroy his entire body so that not even a single drop remains. Integra herself mentions that it pretty much requires you toburn him to ash.
Then do it again.
Whevener Alucard drinks someone to death, or absorbs the spilled blood of a recently slain individual, he absorbs their souls.
In addition to gaining the memories and powers and being able to summon them as familiars, if Alucard ever takes enough damage to die he can substitute one of his familiars for his own soul, releasing it the afterlife in order to instantly resurrect himself to full strength.
For most of the series, he has over two million familiars, including soldiers from every time period between the 'death' of Vlad Tepes of Wallachia and the modern-day as well as several other vampires, several horses, and an actual Hellhound, but the highest number of familiars he is ever known to have is Three million, four hundred twenty-four thousand, eight hundred sixty-seven.
Unless you're talking about someone who can casually spam nukes or someone who is a big enough threat that Alucard elects to summon his familiar's as an army(thereby allowing more than one to be destroyed at a time and rendering Alucard vulnerable) you're not killing him.
And that's assuming that you don't rule that epilog "Alucad spent 30 years killing all of his own familiar's until the only one left was the soul off Shrodinger" as being Alucard at his peak, inwhich Alucard is unable to die and can be in a theoretically infinite number of places at once.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

That does make a good point for Hellsing Alucard, Castlevania Alucard is no slouch, and has a lot of Dracula's powers, but... Three million is a lot.

Hmm... I wonder - if they're going for new-character-with-a-movie youtube algorithm clicks - they'd just do Castlevania's Alucard v. Morbius.
Well, presumably Castlevania's, because Hellsing's wouldn't be a contest.

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
How about the Blacklight Virus from Prototype vs Alucard? 3 Million is a lot, but I don't think Alucard can kill something that can survive a nuke. And the Virus doesn't get tired.

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
It depends on if it's Mercer or Heller. Mercer is more iconic, Heller's game wasn't that popular for reasons that I personally think are stupid.
Spoiler: Side RantJesus christ, Alex's thought patterns and emotions are molded on those of a sociopath, he explicitly doesn't understand humans, has some weird views on death due to the fact that the people he absorbs still exist within him, and he's literally a virus. God Damn, him becoming the big bad planning to infect humanity with himself in order to forcibly evolve them into a collective superorganism in order to make the conflict stop is a logical progression of his character arc. Especially if you read the comic. If you think the sociopath that beats people to death so he can eat them despite that being unnecessary.
Not to mention I don't think anyone played the original prototype for the plot. They played it to experience what being a Resident Evil End boss was like and to karate kick helicopters.
Prototype 2 was a mechanically smoother game with a more sympathetic protagonist, more of the destruction and power fantasy that people played the first game for, a more straightforward memory absorption storyline, and fewer plotholes. People are just butthurt that their fanfics were invalidated.
Now, to be fair, Activision screwed over the game, refusing to let Radical do some things and deliberately withholding the PC Port even though the majority of poled players wanted to play it on PC and used its 'lack of commercial success despite its very high sales for the month of the release as an excuse to shut down Radical and redistribute their resources, so the game probably could have been better if it wasn't being used as a scapegoat to shut down the creators, but still.
Heller, meanwhile, is much stronger, due to being infected with the virus after it's absorbed a hell of a lot of DNA from both humans and various redlight and blacklight infected mutants and being designed specifically to absorb the powers of other infected. And much more stubborn, to the point of being able to resist being absorbed by Mercer, even partially absorbed Mercer in response, out of sheer bloodymindedness.
But I'd still give it to Alucard, Alucard is just that much stronger, and while Alex survived a nuke it blasted him apart and it's implied that he would have died if that crow hadn't eaten him. Mercer is vulnerable to both bullets and the natural weapons of various mutants, even ordinary zombies that aren't much stronger than a normal guy. Alucard would tear him apart and eat him.
Heller would last longer due to his much more powerful defensive options and much greater regenerative abilities, but he'd only be delaying the inevitable.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
Personally, I didn't like Heller because while in narrative terms he may be stronger, he was weaker in gameplay; you had less forms to choose from, leading to a lot less variety in gameplay. Or, well, not less forms exactly but removing a form I liked (Musclemass) for one I didn't (Tendrils) didn't endear it to me.
I also didn't like his bulkier design at all. "Mercer" was sleek for good reason; it looked cool in motion and made the bulkier, more grotesque transformations stand out more. Heller meanwhile looks like a Left4Dead 2 Charger half the time.

Spoiler: This timeDoom wins. Lex was physically superior but Doom had counters for most of his abilities and the ability to take them for himself.
Spoiler: Next timeTekken's Heihachi Mishima vs. Final Fight's Geese Howard. I've seen that fight suggested in the past, and apparently Geese is the stronger.

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
Honestly this fight was a confusing muddle that made little sense overall, and the next one has two characters I care nothing for as I never played those games.

Geese is stronger than Heihachi? I mean, he definitely is in terms of challenging fighting game bosses, but of the two I think Heihachi is shown to be more durable.
Like, Geese died falling from a building. Heihachi survived being tossed miles from an explosion... and a lot of other things.
Tekken is pretty goofy.

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
My knowledge on the subject is third hand, from a person who was doing a video on a new fight for every franchise Death Battle has ever used. For Final Fight he picked Geese and put him up against Heihachi; then said he was told Geese wins. So take it with a grain of salt.
That said, I can see how Geese wins purely through the scaling Death Battle has already used for their fights. Terry beat Ken, who's equal to Ryu, who beat Jin, who beat Heihachi. Geese is weaker than Terry, but I assume they're still in the same general league.

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
Also, IIRC, Geese is canonically immortal... Or at least able to come back from the dead (not very clear what/how it works... It may take years). That tower fall when he supposedly died??? It's an insanely tall tower, and it happened after he was defeated by Terry, one of the strongest characters in the Fatal Fury/Art of Fighting/King of Fighters' universe.
That said, Heihachi's least impressive feat of endurance is surviving being thrown down a giant cliff... And he did get quite a bit of power creep since then, specially from Tekken 5 and forward. The stunts he pulls in Tekken 7 are pretty insane... At one point, he catches a bullet with his teeth, if I'm not mistaken.Last edited by Lemmy; 2021-04-07 at 10:04 AM.

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
I guess that makes sense...
I'm not super well-versed in SNK lore, as the chronology and canonicity of events is a bit of a mess and I'm not a huge fan of KoF either.
Heihachi might win simply because he's had a couple extra decades of canonical power creep, then.
EDIT: However... It's worth noting that Geese is canonically alive in KoF '96, which takes place after his supposed death... And that he's implied to be dead in a later game that takes place in an alternate timeline... So make of that what you will.Last edited by Lemmy; 2021-04-08 at 08:02 AM.

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
That's largely what I was thinking. Though Iamyourking's point that DB's weird power-scaling malarkey might make anything Heihachi himself does irrelevant, as it'll just be ranking other characters through a mystifying six degrees of Kevin Bacon kind-of-way.
I mean, Geese Howard is technically in Tekken 7 as DLC. So, if you really want a conclusive match-up, just versus him with Heihachi.Last edited by Kitten Champion; 2021-04-08 at 08:25 AM.

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
But not canonically... Unless Tekken, Street Fighter*, King of Fighters, Final Fantasy XV and The Walking Dead take place in the same universe.
Also, if we did that, whichever character I pick would be the winner... . Admitedly that would be only slightly more arbitrary than DB's "research" and conclusions.
*: Akuma is canonical, but Tekken and SF are still treated as separate universes/timelines.Last edited by Lemmy; 2021-04-08 at 12:25 PM.

Re: DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?
After doing some research, I think Heihachi is going to get the win.
Strength: Geese is Large Building level, Heihachi has beaten Mountain level.
Speed: They can both dodge lasers, but Heihachi consistently does so whenever he fights Kazuya or Jin.
Durability: Geese died falling off a building, Heihachi fell a similar distance then walked back up. He's also fought in an active volcano and endured the lasers he failed to dodge.
Skill: They're both highly experienced, but Heihachi is older. Not a major factor.
Tricks: Geese has the edge here at least, through projectiles and superior counterattacks.
Also of note: One of the factors Death Battle used for giving Ryu the win over Jin was scaling to Akuma. They mention that Heihachi has also fought Akuma-and survived the Raging Demon-in that video but otherwise don't consider him to be a factor. Heihachi still lost that fight, but if they're going to scale Geese to Terry it would be fair to do the same with Heihachi and Akuma.
