Bowser VS Eggman (Mario VS Sonic) | DEATH BATTLE! (REACTION)

[@SpencerBPD]

Roosterteeth (their parent company) got shut down. RT was the big reason Death Battle’s got blocked for a lot of reactors. Death Battle is independent now so there should be no issues.

[@danielstevens7644]

R.I.P Roosterteeth love em or hate em they were internet royalty and brought amazing contributions to indie animation

[@anthonychessar7179]

.....after so many years of RT absolutely sucking balls(starting around 2015 or so.) I would absolutely NOT call them "internet royalty". Just a nastolgic channel that was good at first but got worse and worse as time went on.

[@agenttennessee]

@@danielstevens7644 I blame when the entire company got acquired. They had the money to do a lot more things but it felt like so many things lost the magic that a couple of idiots sitting at an xbox arguing could bring.

[@that_mexican_guy3980]

Does this mean all there series will no longer continue?

[@danielstevens7644]

@that_mexican_guy3980 no they are trying to find different people to acquire them notably RWBY has been acquired by Viz media and Death Battle and I believe two or three other shows went independent

[@burbusburbus8782]

Also the blocking issue might have been due to rooster teeth (the previous owners of death battle). Now that they're independent, you should be fine

[@burbusburbus8782]

Characterization of Bowser caring for his minions is fantastic Holds them in place to protect them from infinite Gets the classic "dad power boost" when jr gets hurt Stands in front of the SUPER DEATH LAZER to protect his minions.

Not to mention he pays better.

That's family right there bruh. He actually gives a damn about his troops.

[@JustAPrinnyDood]

[@amiiboyy539]

Did he just say Willy instead of Wily?

[@KenDaKingArrives]

​@kristophersy773 They refused to give us a real winner because they had three criteria for victory: who died first, whose machine did the killing, and who had the last machine standing overall. So given how things transpired they just laughed it off naming Metal Sonic as the winner instead

[@Broomer52]

He doesn’t always show up but whenever he does he proves why Eggman decided to make a copy of his greatest enemy. Metal Sonic is just that guy

[@joshuafrazier3904]

Which is wild since Infinite and Sage should have been putting in just as much work.

[@Fang1st]

There's a really fine line with Metal Sonic and how he's used. Either he's a filler enemy to be used as canon fodder or he's the most dangerous enemy you'll ever face, it depends on how the writers feel at the moment, lol.

[@23dayslater95]

Same with Sage and Infinite 😂

[@ludonymous526]

By the time Jr. was hurt, you know this is where Eggman just dug his own grave.

Eggman technically didn’t even dig that grave cuz metal was carrying that

26:46 Beam so strong it killed yo camera

[@PatM1893]

I've been playing Super Mario for 27 years and beat Bowser countless times from 64 to Wonder. I was so anxious when the episode came out and screamed of joy when Bowser won. He's just the GOAT of villains.

[@joshuafrazier3904]

Fair but I’m here seething in the corner at how underpowered Infinite was. Like seriously I love metal sonic but bro should not have needed to carry the team on his back the way he did when infinite is right there and upscales a post Generations sonic which is insane. Furthermore he upscales a Super Sonic from Sonic generations theoretically he upscales two working together since he’s supposed to be stronger than the time eater. I’m sorry but like Metal Sonic has to be in the locker room after the match like “You guys were trash!!!”

[@isaiahjackson3800]

[@anotherrandomguy8871]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@joshuafrazier3904I’m not even a big sonic fan, but yeah I know that Metal sonic must be giving infinite and all the others the RDCworld locker room treatment with how much everyone else underperformed. Not that I blame him, if I were metal sonic I’d be mad too. You mean to tell me that you transcend time, and have whooped sonic, even in his super form, yet I’m the only one’s carrying this fight?

[@OtomostheCrazy]

Love how Bowser and the royalty allied with him are all fighting alongside the troops, rather than standing back and watching from a distance

[@charlesbishop3170]

If you think sonics dark, you're absolutely not ready for kirby.

[@t5hammer871]

Also in terms of armies: pound for pound, Eggman’s is better in terms of raw power but Bowser’s can think independently and can come up with their own strategies/team up spontaneously to get an edge. Thats the problem with single-mind armies: you better hope your general can out think and out-plan your opponent because your troops certainly can’t

[@Ledecral]

Sage can somewhat think for herself, but you’re right that it comes down to eggman in the end. The only reason she thought the final boss unbeatable in frontiers is because she was told to not factor the possibility of Eggman and Sonic working together.

[@gxstly]

@@Ledecral Another example of why Eggman lost, he is poor at working with others so Sage inadequately computed.

[@LordTyph]

A flexible army holds more inherent potential too. Remember, the first casualty is the battle plan.

[@omnipresentl1316]

If you look closely you can see that Metal didn't die from the beam struggle but instead from a broken back from carrying his whole fucking team.

[@joshuafrazier3904]

Yeah metal Sonic is in the afterlife pissed off at Infinite for not doing shit despite being one of the strongest in the army.

22:30 Infinite increased gravity. King Boo, being intangible and thus unaffected, thought on his feet and used it against them. Meanwhile, Bowser didn’t do anything because he was busy, using magic to sustain his troops and prevent them from being crushed.

[@peteypiranalover]

Fury Bowser (big paint black Bowser) is from the most recent 3d main canon. Bowser's Fury the second campaign for switch Super Mario 3d World. smash bros Melee is called Giga Bowser... don't worry your saying it off the cuff. I understand. BTW did you know. That form is what Sakurai thought 8bit Bowser looked like when fully modeled. He was disappointed when the form we know today was finalized. He gave his idea for what Bowser was supposed to look like a smash bros powerup, to seem more like a serious dragon instead of cartoony.

[@zombielandtay4827]

Bro sonic and Mario get like that for no reason these games should be this powerful 😂

[@ScreamingmadJoe]

They actually did do eggman vs wily back in the day. It’s one of their very early videos though so it’s not as in depth or as high quality as this is but it’s still very charming

[@banettebrochacho5636]

Death battle actually had to change its formula slightly a few seasons ago to get around copyright issues, so it makes sense that DB would have had copyright issues in the past

[@franklinreed7614]

SegaSammy doesn't let Sonic Team have fun with the games anymore. So while sonic characters haven't gotten weaker, they haven't exactly gotten stronger and in some cases, Sonic Team has to straight up ignore specific feats, or retcon them entirely, like Hyper Sonic. They say this is to avoid the issue with most Shonen anime with the whole "Next Tier Power-up" issue, but it's more likely that SegaSammy want's to distance Sonic from being compared to Dragon Ball. To which I say, you can't undo power creep. At this point you might as well embrace it, the sonic series would be way better off for it. You have multiversal threats like Solaris and The End being treated like nothing. Conversely you have Nintendo who essentially told the team who made Mario Wonder to take as long as they needed and that they could essentially do whatever they want. So I don't doubt it that the Mario Universe has become Stronger than Sonic's. So this Death Battle is pretty accurate I'd say.

[@Thepictureguy-h8g]

Not only that but Mario is primarily 2D, so they give the cast new items and power boosts to keep things interesting. Things like FLUD, Cappy and Wonder flower come to mind.

[@zoidsj]

Fun fact Metal Sonic didn't lose from Bowsers Beam, but from his back breaking from carrying Eggmans entire army.

[@Whineanddine52]

Bowser put himself in front of the death lazer to protect his people AND Eggmans forces. If that isnt a show of character, i dont know what else is

Metal Sonic and Sage carried Eggman like crazy. She even survived and is plotting in Bowser in the post credits scene.

[@uniconwizardsb1122]

In an ironic twist, Bowser, the turtle, was always stepping forward. To fight the horde of toys- I mean robots, to shield his soldiers from Infinite, and even tanking the Death Egg’s blast head on. Eggman on the other hand was constantly playing the defensive, hit and run tactics and rockets behind force fields were all he had to offer. It was only a matter of time before Eggman ran out of space to run and Bowser caught up to him.

I knew if Bowser beat Metal Sonic, he already won..i dont believe the sage hype. Also, they already did Eggman vs Wily & Metal Sonic won lol

[@joshuafrazier3904]

Sage could have been useful if she locked in and brought one of the Titans that could have actually been a game changer since it would be a vaguely super sonic level teammate but the real person throwing was infinite because the dude should be stronger than the time eater which is insane because it means the base form sonic he fought was twice as strong as his super form from generations which again beat something that ate the whole timeline. If Metal Sonic in super form scaled anywhere even close to Sonic’s super form in Frontiers than he and Infinite should be able to like body Solaris with mid difficulty and if that’s the case then Bowser has no right to win hell if Metal Sonic’s super form is relative to Sonic’s from Frontier than he should solo Solaris and Infinite should be relative. Like I can not stress just how done dirty infinite was cause ain’t no way the dude who is stronger than the time eater and multiple different super Sonic’s lost to a thwomp. I really don’t care Bowser won I just feel like Eggman’s side was throwing specifically Infinite. Honestly you know in the afterlife Metal was pissed at having to carry the team so damn hard.
