Ever since the Screwattack forums shut down, I've been feeling pretty lonely that we don't have a place to go talk about the upcoming Death Battles, so... here we go!
As it stands now, I think Roshi should absolutely trash Jiraiya. Roshi was dodging Jiren's blows in the manga. There is just no way Jiraiya can stand up to that level of wank he's getting from Toyotaro, lol.

Re: Death Battle Discussion Thread
There are millions who would sadly disagree with you, so come on. How else do they make millions of views off YouTube? It's how they make their profits. Seriously.

Re: Death Battle Discussion Thread
Ok, I don't think I've watched every death battle, but it seems like Ben really likes to take really stupid feats from cartoons to justify wins which really shouldn't happen.
Edit since first time I'm seeing this thread: Why did they shut their forum down?
edit number two since I clearly didn't think this through
What I mean by cartoons is like when video game characters like sonic or donkey kong do something retarded in a cartoon like tank a moon exploding, they count that, Obviously when it's a character whose medium is a cartoon like MLP or something, that's fine.

Re: Death Battle Discussion Thread
People were ripping videos from their web site, which was available only for First Members two days before its posting on YouTube, and sharing it with their friends via private message.
Ben disliked it because the people there actually challenged his views. He wants an echo chamber of people worshiping him.

Re: Death Battle Discussion Thread
That sounds like Ben. Instead of implementing something that would fix the issue just delete it because it challenges you.

Re: Death Battle Discussion Thread
I enjoy it for the really good animated fights. I think the research is shoddy at best and I have basically no faith in their results but the fights themselves are fun to watch.
Re: Death Battle Discussion Thread
I was there. Ben didn't hate his views being challenged. Hell, if you look at his road to 100 blog posts, he admits to many of the mistakes he has made over the years. He hated people being rude about it. Given that the forums were mostly dead by that point. The regular, active uses were barely hitting double digits. Also the forums were already on shaky ground when Screw Attack joined RT, the fact that they closed down due to people doing the wrong thing isn't exactly surprising.
Anyway. Latest one, I enjoyed it, though I gotta say I dunno how accurate it was. I barely know anything about Widowmaker, so she could have some feats that would of turned things around. Also pretty sure Carol is going to get her ass handed to her next match. I mean yeah there's the energy absorption thing, but when you're on par with the Man of Steel it makes you pretty tough to beat.
