Which One Minute Melee Combatants should get on DB? (Tier List)

[@Minigolfwindmill]

Silver surfer is actually really cool because he's silver and a surfer and surfs in space

[@milanbeerepoot4260]

I hate him because he ruined my 100% run of lego marvel superheroes when i was 10.

[@MarkiplierMeatMuncher8]

so true

[@afoolishk9266]

To speak on Wesker, he’s a combatant who I’ve wanted on DB for years, but I agree that Kazuya isn’t the best matchup for him. I do think Liquid Snake is his best opponent though. It has just as many connections as vs Kazuya, but it also just has this weird campy, over the top vibe to it that I just love.

[@MidnightPhantom]

Based Wesker VS Liquid fan

[@luugyluugulite1656]

I can 100% confirm that most Shulk vs Lightning love comes from people wanting Shulk and Shulk only. Enough for this to be a most wanted episode, mostly because people want to see him. It’s just unfortunate that the stale end piece of white bread thematically makes the most sense for him.

[@robmacher3253]

I know it's not really where the main hype comes from, but i know that there's also plenty of Final Fantasy fans who just want to see any FF game that isn't VII.

[@theelderscout0314]

@@robmacher3253I can confirm that both of these things are the reason why Shulk vs Lightning is my 6th most wanted matchup

[@FookMi69]

Unironically, I think Homelander could work as an opponent for Wesker. They are both lab rats with god complexes who were genetically engineered by a pharmaceutical corporation and eventually went rogue and tried to fulfil their own nefarious goals. I also think that the fight itself isn’t entirely a stomp either. I do think Wesker probably wins though

Sans vs The Judge pretty much boils down to "Who's faster?", because there's next to no interpretation that lets Sans take more that one hit from Pablo, which in turn makes Pablo's hax useless due to being tied to the secondary effects of his attacks.

[@Actuallycorrect-eu5uz]

Kinda why I like Sans Vs the Judge the most if you scale both to light speed. Light speed Undertale isn't agreed on at all though and Judge gets their way easier.

[@dippin4dots]

Pac-Man vs Toriko is one of the most based ones, the most based being Pac-Man vs Galactus

1:32:49 If your referencing that one “debunk” of Gohan vs Ultraman Zero, everyone I’ve seen hated it, so they gave it new connections, is now near-universally considered the best for both, and rapidly increases in popularity every day.

I personally like Polnareff vs Benimaru from Kof. They're speedy, goofball adventurers who travel the world with a highschooler who has to put down the ultimate evil who which fought their ancestors. Also, Beni is just Walmart brand Pol in terms of design.

[@mm-ez6xn]

I am dying to see Frisk vs Batter or Batter vs Omori. The Tarnished vs The Gravewalker would be nice too.

[@zachspool]

Shulk is unironically one of the best JRPG protagonists ever. I don’t know Lightning, but I don’t have Shulk fighting Lightning cause Shulk is boring lol. Not really something I look at when liking match ups lol. I honestly couldn’t care less if the character is boring. If the fight is cool and we get to see Shulk in all his glory then I like it. And it’s a bonus that Shulk most likely wins so you can look forward to Lightnings appearance for that

I want Kenshin in DB😢 Kenshin vs Thorfinn is an all time fav mu for me

[@ectospassmta8493]

Kenshin vs Manji from Blade of the Immortal is really cool. Plus the conflict and interactions write themselves, with Manji looking for manslayers to hunt down and having an affinity for stealing unusual blades like what Kenshin has. But it's hard to properly tackle Kenshin without addressing the sins of the author

[@SushiGhost97]

@@ectospassmta8493 I never watched/read Blade of the Immortal so I wouldn't know, but it does sound like a good alt for Kenshin. As for the author, the best way to handle it is to simply not address it. Kenshin fans shouldn't have to be reminded of the horrible shit the creator did. They already know. Especially when people just want to talk about the character/story. Nobody ever mentions the Toriko creator when discussing his works or characters in vs debates. I feel like that should apply here as well.

[@ectospassmta8493]

@@SushiGhost97 I mention Toriko's creator every time. And it absolutely SHOULD be brought up so that people don't financially support the series since Watsuki still profits off of it and could use it to keep doing what he did. As for Blade of the Immortal, I HIGHLY recommend itm

[@SushiGhost97]

@@ectospassmta8493 If they're going to bring Kenshin in a DB, if they really feel like they have to mention Watsuki, then it's good to give potential new fans a warning about him and to not support his work legally(frankly all the Kenshin stuff I have is second hand from Ebay), but they really don't need to go into depth about it in an episode where Kenshin fights another Manga samurai. Just seems unnecessary given the context of the show. That being said: Definitely will check out Blade of the Immortal! Would be nice to find another Samurai Manga I like as much as Kenshin with none of the controversies surrounding it lol
