Death Battle Discussion

Does anybody else here besides me think Popeye vs Saitama is actually still a more one-sided version of Superman vs Goku overall?

@Maddie @Doronbo_Shirake @OtherGalaxy @Claudio Swiss
No because beating the author is trivial IMO, it's universal vs (now) multi-solar system level.

Goku vs Superman 3 was Multiversal+ vs Outerversal (According to DB), for similar justifications. They had Superman as 6-D IIRC? Still haven't actually watched it.

As I understand, as of Infinite Frontier there is no actual Godsphere anymore, so that means New Gods are as powerful as their Godheads normally right? If that's the case, well Superman beat Trigon.

watch them accept both but also treat presence tier Trigon as valid :skully
H-how?
 


Dormmy probably wouldn't get it in the actual Deathbattle (since it's a temporary power-up) but I would love for them to discuss the time he was amped by the Cosmic Axis (albeit along with Umar) and defeated Multi-Eternity.

So Liam did bring it up for Dormammu. But didn't really mention the context... (Cosmic Axis power-up).

H-how?
theres some comic that ive seen people bring up repeatedly where Trigon “faces the Presence” except what actually happens is the presence, in the form of a dog, offscreens Trigon so I don’t know why anybody would actually scale him seriously like that
 
i don't recall superman ever beating trigon
It's in Infinite Frontier. There is one story where a bunch of enemies break out of the Phantom Zone, including Trigon apparently. He just casually beats and imprisons him off screen like it was no big deal.

Overall Infinite Frontier Superman is just broken. I still contest GvS1/2 and I think even the vague wank stuff for late Rebirth wasn't really solid enough for Superman to beat CC Goku, but after Infinite Frontier it's simply a game changer.

nah, superman at his best is pretty cracked, I don't see the saitama and popeye gap as being as big
Infinite Frontier did what Convergence and Inifnite Crisis softly did to the fullest extent and Superman is just a straight up composite and any (legitimate) feat he did across any incarnation is now 100% valid and not an outlier according to the new canon.

Like I said, I still think CC Goku beats Earth-One, Post Crisis, and Post Flashpoint Supermen prior to Death Metal, but after Death Metal Goku is simply fucked.

Well I'm not basing my take on what Death Battle thinks in regards to whatever scaling they gave Superman at his best (or Goku for that matter) in their third match-up (fuck that noise).

But how each debates between the respective pair of characters would usually go outside the show on average.

Still haven't actually watched it.
Neither have I. Guess I ain't the only one.

Still wondering if I should watch it before or after Galactus vs Unicron.

And so is Popeye.

One of the main reasons I'm saying it's more one-sided is because apart from Popeye's utter toonforce reality-warping and more broken hax than the other three combatants by and large (excluding the wankiest interpretations of CAS Superman at least), Saitama is easily the weakest and least durable and haxed of the four combatants by a light year.

I'm with you on this, I meant peak as in Supes best feats overall (which I guess are now available to him at all times)
 
@OtherGalaxy

What did you think of the Sneak Peak? I think the sprites look awesome, very detailed.

And apparently Giorno’s pose on the throne is referencing a pose Dio made in the first Jojo opening
 
as much as I hate DC Comics beating Marvel Comics I don't think Dormammu has this. Trigon is Godsphere level in his true form.
Trigon is always in his “true form” he’s not a new god he isn’t a multiversal singularity. He’s universe level in feats and multiverse level scaling from weaker and comparable characters. It tips in Trigon’s favor but it’s not a stomp.
 
@Maddie Also if Death Battle had Superman at 6D in his peak in Superman vs Goku Round 3, that would make Clark just Complex Multiversal at best, not Outerversal (which would be transcending an infinite-dimensional hierarchy or the very concept of "dimensions" altogether).

And if we used the concept and logic of dimensional-tiering in its loosest application, regardless of in-universe context, Popeye beat up Ogbert, a 7D being (and yes I heard Popeye's verse does consistently use the word "dimensions" for their verse and there's 8 to 9 dimensions at least I believe?):


By DB logic, wouldn't that make Popeye higher?

Either way, Saitama is still the weakest and least haxed of the four characters thus making it more one-sided.

Any single being we see that comes from the Sphere of the Gods has a Godhead form we simply don't see or care about. This includes Nekron (Who in a Green Lantern comic explicitly stated he had a true form they never see), Neron, Death in Where is Thy Sting (Again basically spelled out that it all happened in the Sphere of the Gods, New Gods, all the pantheons in Skyland, etc. Trigon rules his own space in Hell, he exists on the same ontological level as Darkseid. Just because we never saw his Godhead true self doesn't meant it doesn't exist because it logically must given he resides in Hell.

At best you can argue we only ever see his emanation throughout the comics, including an emanation of Hell. Kind of like how before Final Crisis we only ever saw an emanation of Darkseid and Fourth World. owever that doesn't mean Trigon doesn't have a Godhead self in the Godsphere because he logically must. You could argue that against Dormammu, if Dormammu beats the emanation he automatically wins because the Godhead can't actually directly interact with lower existence without crashing it (I believe that would be the result of Thanos vs Darkseid). However there is a Godhead of Trigon and unless Marvel cosmology goes crazier than I remember, he's not beating what a Godsphere level being is.

You're putting up a whole lot of false equivalences as you tend to do Maddie so I'm gonna break this down for you one by one
Any single being we see that comes from the Sphere of the Gods has a Godhead form we simply don't see or care about. This includes Nekron (Who in a Green Lantern comic explicitly stated he had a true form they never see)
Nekron's past is a mystery we don't know where he came from other than the fact that he's amorphously darkness and death incarnate

, Neron, Death in Where is Thy Sting (Again basically spelled out that it all happened in the Sphere of the Gods, New Gods, all the pantheons in Skyland, etc.
Neron is the devil ofcourse his true form isn't some blonde dude wearing a cape, he's a shapeshifter.

Trigon rules his own space in Hell, he exists on the same ontological level as Darkseid. Just because we never saw his Godhead true self doesn't meant it doesn't exist because it logically must given he resides in Hell.
That means precisely jack crap, because Gant Morrison specifically referred to multiversal singularities as just the New Gods (and later scott snyder included Perpetua) existing in a higher dimension doesn't mean there aren't copies of oneself across the multiverse, Max Nobu himself said this when he excluded Perpetua from that statement (meaning he and the monitors have them as well and we see multiple medias with otehr monitors as well) obviously the CW Anti-Monitor from their COIE and the recent Tomorrowverse's Anti-Monitor are not the same ones as the one from the mainline comics.

No he doesn't the only beings that have been officially confirmed as multiversal singularities are the New Gods, the 5-D imps, Perpetua and for obvious reasons the Presence and the Writer.
