DEATH BATTLE

How can Stephanie kill that which That which doesn't exist

But I've been having dreams of that live action Ninja Turtles show created by Saban that doesn't exist. How does that make sense?

Actually, if you put the Turtles up against the Power Rangers, the "Both sides know each other" rule would kick in for the first time ever, thanks to a crossover between The Next Mutation' and In Space, where both acknowledge the other is fictional.

Season 5 hopes:

• Yorha 2B from Nier Automata vs Megaman X
• Noctis from FF-XV vs Cloud from FF-VII
• Frank West from Dead Rising vs Jade from Beyond Good And Evil
• Michael Myers vs Jason Voorhees
• Gordon Freeman from Half Life vs Isaac Clarke from Dead Space
• Duke Nukem vs Serious Sam
• Samus Aran vs Commander Shepherd
• Doom Slayer vs Master Chief Rematch
• Solid Snake vs Adam Jensen*
• Viewtiful Joe vs Wonder Red or Scott Pilgrim*
• Cloud vs Lightning or Noctis*
• Link vs Aloy or Lara Croft*

You mean Shepard or we not talking Mass Effect?

And if it is Shepard, you clearly want Shepard to be murdered. Horribly.

(Not that they'd ever do Shepard as much like the Dovahkiin and the Vault Dweller, he/she doesn't have a specific canon skillset)

Nice match up. Would also be a treat to see a return of the extremely shoddy analysis they used for Zero Vs Metal Sonic. A blemish on an otherwise good season that logic was.

Never played Mass Effect, but thematically - bounty hunter known for saving the galaxy from a parasitic life form and space pirates versus military hero known for saving the galaxy from a parasitic lifeform. The former's gender was groundbreaking for its reveal, and the latter's gender has served as a standard for gender-neutral storytelling. They both wear armor that looks cool as sh't. Samus doesn't talk much and Mass Effect, far as I know, was heavy on dialogue.

I would have said Samus vs Pharah since they look alike and they're both "badass armor chicks with missile launchers," but Shepherd seemed like h/she'd have a bigger feat pool.

I take it you didn't like Zero vs Metal Sonic, then.

2B vs Megaman X, too, is thematic. I like the idea of two androids, male and female, each with blasters and swords, and ethical dilemmas, and partners who bail them out of the first boss battle in their respective games fighting each other.

The fight was cool and the results I do like, coz fuck Sonic. But the analysis was... really bad.

The whole "Zero has survived an explosion that matches the one that killed the Dinosaurs" is BS when you've played the game. The Shuttle Zero was in survived (At least its cockpit did). Zero didn't tank that explosion. The Shuttle did. Similarly, the whole "Megaman is FTL, and Zero being built to surpass Megaman, he must be more than FTL" is so full of leaps of logic and outright nonsensical logic, they might as well have said Zero is a Jedi due to owning a Laser Sword.

The Reapers aren't really parasitic. They're a regularly-scheduled extinction cycle. Every 50,000 years, they sweep through the galaxy and exterminate all developed organic civilizations, clearing the slate while leaving undeveloped organic life to spread, grow, replace it, and be culled in the next cycle.

Why.

So that they won't be killed by robots.

...yeah, that makes as much sense in context. The third game kinda dropped the ball on explaining that one.

We had to bomb the village to save it.

Specifically, the way the game explains it is that there's a concern that the longer a species is left to its own devices, the more likely it becomes that they will eventually develop an intelligent AI. In the event of a robot apocalypse, grey goo scenario, etc. the AI could end up exterminating all organic life in the galaxy.

To avoid this scenario, the Reapers cut off the development of civilizations before they have a chance to reach that point. New Reapers are created as sort of shrines to immortalize those races that were exterminated. Each Reaper is like a set of initials on a high score board if the player was shot in the head immediately after entering them.

Since you already said that the third game dropped the ball I have no problem saying 'dats dumb'

A) We're off topic

B) Mass Effect 3's ending is still a verboten topic.

It's super dumb. That's what happens when you throw out your entire plot in the third installment of a trilogy and then have to go back and try and come up with new answers for everything.

They were building up to something about Dark Matter, the heat death of the universe, and stars plinking out too quickly as a result of the series's titular Mass Effect technology, but then the third game came around and they were like, "Nope, scrap everything. Make up something else."

One again, "Mass Effect 3's ending is still a verboten topic" on the board.

As in it is against the rules, please stop.

Huh? I thought that topic had been discussed plenty of times without outrage after the whole release of the game was thing of the past

My ideas

Wonder Woman vs Bayonetta

Noctis (Final Fantasy) vs Gilgamesh (Fate/Stay night)

Midna (Legend of Zelda) vs Blaze (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Hiei (Yu Yu Hakusho) vs Grimmjoww (Bleach)

Why Noctis? I feel Gilgamesh vs Gilgamesh is a far better match up.

I kind of want to see a Disney character. Stitch's abilities are pretty well defined, how about him?

Zero did look visibly affected by the collision, so the feat shouldn't be entirely attributed to the shuttle. Surviving the explosion of a missile point blank and surviving his entire lower body and one of his arms blown off are more impressive durability feats for Zero anyway. The "Faster than X" bit is bullshit though, especially since X can keep pace with an Awakened Zero just fine.

Anyway, Pyron vs Frieza would be a really great match to see.

For Noctis V Gilgamesh, Gil stomps just like he almost always does.

For Hiei V Grimmjow, was Ichigo moving at Sonic speeds when he first unlocked his Bankai V Byakuya?
