DEATH BATTLE SNAKE VS SERIES

Shulk vs Lightning (Xenoblade Chronicles vs Final Fantasy) - It's been requested for years, it's the most requested Xenoblade matchup, probably the most requested Final Fantasy matchup now that Link vs Cloud 2 has been done, it was a Community Death Battle way back when Torrian was still working on the show.ĭante vs Kratos (Devil May Cry vs God of War) - It's highly requested, it was a Community Death Battle, it's been long enough since the DBX for it to stand out (especially since it would presumably be 3D animated), both have had new games since their last appearance on Death Battle. don't want the Mortal Kombat character to go super-gory-over-the-top with the kill? For Liu Kang specifically, having him adhere to his Shaolin roots and try to end the fight non-lethally, or by having the fight end because of the environment (a stage fatality like the pit would be ideal) would be a nice callback to his characterisation from the original Mortal Kombat. Decently requested, Mortal Kombat is quite a bankable name for the algorithm, the crew are Killer Instinct fans, both characters have good 3D models to work with.Īs an aside, if we do get Liu Kang vs Jago, and Kang wins, I kind of. Liu Kang vs Jago (Mortal Kombat vs Killer Instinct) - Probably the most likely fighting game matchup to happen next year. If not, it would drop all the way down to 'don't count on it'. Note: This episode is here on the basis that a live-action fight is possible next year. Jason Voorhees vs Michael Myers (Friday the 13th vs Hallowe'en) - Been requested forever, huge legacy behind it, brings more original live-action characters to Death Battle, is the single best candidate for a Hallowe'en episode.

Hopefully they can make it stand out from the half dozen other Batman fights we've gotten. Decently requested for years, uses recognisable characters, decently debatable, this one's more likely than people think. Placing my bets now, this will be the season premier.Īnt-Man vs Atom (MARVEL vs DC) - Probably the single biggest requested MARVEL vs DC matchup at the moment (if not, it's definitely up there), offers a unique dynamic compared to other Death Battles, very algorithm-friendly given the MCU helped popularise Ant-ManĬatwoman vs Black Cat (DC vs MARVEL) - I'll say it now, our most likely bet for the next Marvel vs DC street tier fight. I'll be shocked if it doesn't happen next year. Very requested, uses very algorithm-friendly characters, it gives us the opportunity for a new Vegeta analysis (as well as an updated one for Thor), enough time has passed to forget about the bad DBX, and the crew themselves have said they want to bring Vegeta back. Thor vs Vegeta (MARVEL vs Dragon Ball) - I have very little doubt this is happening next year.

DEATH BATTLE SNAKE VS SERIES

It's been requested for years, Jojo's about to hit a new surge of popularity with the upcoming Stone Ocean anime, Persona 5 has been making gangbusters and broke the series into the mainstream like never before, Giorno Giovanna vs Joker (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure vs Persona) - People have been wanting a Jojo vs Persona matchup forever, and of that category, this is far and away the most requested. NOTE: THIS PREDICTION WAS MADE PRIOR TO THE SEASON 9 TEASER AT THE END OF SAITAMA VS POPEYE Let me know if you disagree with any rankings, felt I overlooked or left out anything about a particular matchup, or if I just forgot to include a matchup on the ranking. To my knowledge, it's been soft confirmed that Season 9 will have 20 episodes, so that may play into the rankings as well (although probably not too much).Īnd bear in mind that this is not a complete, definitive list. Also, to be clear, I'm not ranking the actual quality of the matchups, just how likely they are for Season 9. If your curious whether this is ranking matchups likelihood in general, or specifically for Season 9, the best answer I can give is somewhere in the middle. As the finale approaches and Season 8 of Death Battle comes to a close, I figured I'd take the opportunity to rank some matchups for the upcoming Season 9, and how likely I think they are.
