[@leechee5596]

An interesting note for onryo in the onryo vs pinhead section, when demanifested, she has no collision with the survivors. Stretching this idea a little bit, sadako could probably just avoid pinheads chains by demanifesting, since that seems to be his only true way of injuring people. Another, more extreme version of the onryo demanifesting concept, is that onryo might actually not be in the entity's realm at all, she might just be a projection of her psychic powers that "manifests" in the entity's realm, Hence why the only things she touches in the game are the ground, window vaults, and her tvs, everything else is influenced by her psychic power, even injuring survivors (with the ring and some words), so onryo might not actually be physically in game, but instead a concept that stems from leftover psychic juice, so theoretically she should be impossible to physically harm (I'm not sure how to apply this idea to pallet stuns though, maybe the entity just has rules in place?). But we also must remember that lore wise, pinhead is the creation of Leviathan, a torture deity that is probably as strong as the entity. So, yeah... I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

[@theARoberts]

Great point about her not having collision, this is exactly why I think she could just demanifest to avoid any of his attacks. Your thought on her not actually being in the realm but a psychic projection is very intriguing. She does have a psychic connection with the Entity, so with my limited knowledge of her lore from the books, I suppose it is at least possible that she could manifest herself in the Entity's realm through the connection she has with the Entity, without having to be physically present, as you noted she never physically interacts with Survivors except for pallet stuns. I definitely think Pinhead is super strong, but I've been convinced that Onryo is stronger.

[@tofferooni4972]

I think she is stronger than Pinhead, but weaker than the Leviathan

[@Boon.Oreo6042]

@@theARoberts In the original book and the original movie Sadako is long dead and the one that presents herself is a psychic manifestation so really she's already just a manifestation of psychic powers even before being brought to the entity's realm

[@Synnabelle]

I think the entity just applies a pain to the killers that scales with the relative power when they get hit by a pallet or a locker stun, DS etc. Cause nemesis can straight up tank shotgun shells but a pallet makes him reel back? I think the Entity is just acting like a haptic suit that regulates and monitors each killer so they all stay within the rules of the Entities game. If the Onryo isn't actually in the Entities realms and is instead projecting. Perhaps the entity is doing the same back to make sure Sadako doesn't "cheat"

[@painandsuffering7130]

Personally the Leviathan argument convinces me in this one. I think Sadako’s connection to the Entity is matched if not unmatched by Pinhead’s connection to the Leviathan. Then of course you can argue which of these beings is stronger, but I would go with the Leviathan as he practically runs actual hell. Because of that I also don’t think it really matters if Sadako has a physical form in the realm or not, Pinhead’s main job is torturing souls of those he dragged into hell, so I think he has experience with dealing with the dead. Also when it comes to Roberts argument about Sadako manipulating person’s physical form, I don’t think Pinhead’s physical form matters that much. His body has already been broken and mutilated when Leviathan created him, and we saw many times that Leviathan can just reshape the Cenobites however he sees fit so I think whatever she did he would just kinda respawn.

[@thehomelander28]

The spirit vs wesker argument is simple to explain. Spirit is undead and she can be in a different plain of existence. However, she isnt always there and still has a physical body. A body that can be touched and hurt, based on palet stunts etc. Wesker is a superhuman and beats spirit already in all physical aspects like fighting, intelligents, strenght, speed. Yes, wesker cant hurt spirit when she is in the other realm but that doesnt really give her an advantage. He just has to wait until she is physical again. In physical form she has no way to even harm wesker let wlone kill him. Hell, she wouldnt even be fast enough to touch him. And yes she is undead, but u just said beat in a fight. Wesker doesnt need to kill her, he just needs to beat her and in my opinion he is clearly more capable in every aspects in this fight.

[@theARoberts]

This is one of the best explanations I've heard, thanks for sharing! I don't know yet if I'm convinced because Spirit is very fast, granted Wesker is very fast himself. I like that you pointed out what I said about others that Wesker wouldn't have to kill her, just defeat her, so I'll give you that for sure. That said I still think Spirit is fast enough to phase in and out of existence, repeatedly dealing damage to Wesker with her sword (I'm thinking specifically of her mori here). But that said, you have tipped the scales closer for me than I was before.

[@thehomelander28]

That's a fair counterpoint and the mutations would definitely make it more difficult for her to do so. I'll admit, I have not played RE5 yet unfortunately, but doesn't Chris beat Wesker? I'm going off that understanding and assuming that if Chris could do it, Spirit could in theory. If that's incorrect or if there's more to the story that I don't know because I haven't played the game let me know (don't worry about spoiling it for me, I do plan to play it but spoilers don't bother me for a 14 year old game 😂 It's only my fault if I haven't played it by this point)

In RE5, Wesker casually bullet times full automatic fire and catches RPG warheads.

I would like to believe that if Dredge is in a locker, Huntress could just grab him like a hatchet

[@Sheer_Force]

The Dredge has no competition here I'm not gonna lie. It's got a void full of meat slabs. I hear your argument about defeating the limbs but they are really just a point for the trials in dbd to not instantly end. The Dredge devoured a whole town when it became the druanee as just the cloud of smoke and made the limbs out of their corpses. The Dredge just devours things and that's that.

[@theARoberts]

So I'm gonna admit that my bias for Plague drove my thinking there. Dredge absolutely takes her and there's no way it should have lost to Wesker. I agree it's just too powerful. I don't think it could beat Onryo or Pyramid Head, Pinhead is a question to me too. But most of the others, the Dredge should have no problem.

Oni vs hag as a matchup could actually go either way in my opinion it just depends in what kind off fight we are talking about if killers are allowed to have their setup time before actually going against each other hag would actually would have an upper hand based on her hexes and traps, both her and trapper would actually be a LOT stronger than they actually are, however if this is a gladiator type off fights which based on votes it probably its a no brainer oni wins

[@Sarre_Casme]

The Hag can use hexes to win the fight but that she have to have prep time to summon the Entity or a force like that to help her kill the Oni who's just a human with blood fury but she doesn't have that time she died

[@theARoberts]

I always base my thinking on imagining they're in a normal trial-like environment (just Killer v Killer instead of Killer v Survivor), in other words Hag would have at least until Oni found her to set up her traps, so some measure of set up time.

Another reason why pyramid head is one of the strongest killers is because he is one of the only killers that can actually damage the entity because with his trail ability, if you look back, you can actually see what looks to be the entities flesh.

[@bezel95]

Could someone explain to me Pyramid Head’s dominance? In Silent Hill 2 he is slow and eventually gives up and stabs himself after James survives fighting two of him. PH is a manifestation of James’ shame and guilt, his form based off a painting James saw when he visited Silent Hill on vacation. Now I’ve only played the first four games so I don’t know much about him beyond that, but I really don’t see him as this unstoppable supernatural juggernaut, the only reason he exists is because of James, and James wins in the end. I don’t see how he would be as dominating as people say, because shouldn’t he only pose a threat to James, as PH is his own personal demon? I dunno, please educate me.

[@reisegger4845]

@@bezel95 pretty good point, but this is the dead by daylight universe. The ghost face here is a lot different than the scream ghost face. They’re basically two different universes so you can basically say the same thing for pyramid head.

[@theARoberts]

@@bezel95 Great question, DBD changed his lore to no longer be dependent on James' guilt, or, as I read it, even on feelings of guilt at all. He is slow in SH, but more in a lumbering unstoppable force sort of way. And, as I understand SH2 lore (because I haven't played it myself but I've read up on it) he doesn't give up, James comes to terms with his guilt and Pyramid Head is no longer needed and kills himself. The idea, as I understand, is that the only thing that can defeat Pyramid Head is Pyramid Head himself after he is no longer needed. But within the Entity's realm he's always needed. On top of that, he's likely stronger than the Entity itself, given that he can completely disobey the entity through his cages and secondary mori. Hope that helps. I'm also happy to be corrected by any SH fans if I got any of that wrong.

[@theARoberts]

I never thought about that being the Entity's flesh, interesting. I also didn't mention that he can disobey the Entity, which also suggests he's very, very powerful.

[@chaotix7275]

Yeah ARoberts is right. He didnt give up, he really just wasnt needed. Before the fight James says something along these lines: " I was weak, thats why i needed you, to punish me for my sins. But now its all over, now i know the truth. Its time to end this. "

[@pyrover4148]

I don't know if they changed this for DBD, but Pyramid Head's home lore gives him a crippling weakness, in that he can only manifest to target somebody with intense guilt, and can be instantly defeated if they move past that guilt. Myers in particular should have been the end of him, because his inability to feel anything would leave Pyramid Head incapable of manifesting, as there would be no guilt to form around.

[@Sarre_Casme]

Myers would just ignore his jugement because Evil don't care about being judge

[@theARoberts]

So in true Silent Hill lore, yes, PH only manifests out of James' subconscious guilt and need for punishment. They had to readapt that lore into DBD so that it's no longer dependent upon feelings of guilt but upon the deserving of punishment (at least the way I read it), otherwise it makes no sense for him to be in DBD at all.

[@Sarre_Casme]

@@theARoberts Some survivors feel guilty like Jane and Felix about their father or Meg because she will not be with her mother for her last moments so I think PH take everything that make the survivors guilty and use it to punish them

The dredge doesn't necessarily need the appendage because it seems in the folk law version the druani it has a more psychological affect, and the mass itself can indeed physically kill people. However I'm not sure how much they based the dredge on the druani. So I might be wrong

[@theARoberts]

Interesting for sure, I can definitely see that being the case. My poor Plague, her odds just keep getting worse 😂

[@lukebell4738]

"Dredge" is the killer nickname given to the Druani. It's basically a lesser god to the Entity, or maybe even the Entity itself. By itself, it's a ghost that manifests as a dark mist, but it gets power through the aftermath of evil. It gathers dead bodies then uses the various parts to form a body for itself, which it uses to interact with the physical world.

[@EmeraldStar0135]

Myers technically can die, as proven in Death Battle vs Jason, it's just really hard to kill him and I think maybe if you give Nurse enough time to figure out how to kill him and she keeps at it then I think she would win, also she is pretty much a ghost or spirit so Myers cant even touch her.

I think a lot of people just-- straight up don't understand Onryo in the slightest. People think she's Samara from The Ring, and people think she's "just some angry ghost" like Spirit. We didn't just get movie Sadako who's insanely strong, we got *Book* Sadako. She's *easily* the strongest killer, without contest. It's very hard to argue that even Pyramid Head would have a sliver of a chance. You'd have to pit Sadako against The Leviathan, Mind Flayer, or Silent Hill itself in order to have a remotely fair fight. She's like an anime character that just keeps getting new forms and powers, where it goes from something simple to being able to blink and delete planets. She can literally manipulate your DNA, create and destroy dimensions, and canonically has made a KZbin channel. Pyramid Head should be quaking in his boots, because even he wouldn't dare challenge the KZbin algorithm.

Wesker is a very complicated case in terms of power. If we’re gonna take into account his feats shown in RE5 we already know this man can casually dodge bullets, is extremely agile and has strength comparable to that of tyrant like Nemesis. We can tell that Wesker has similar strength to tyrant because just like the Nemesis, Wesker can fling away rockets that are shot at him even in a weakened state. Also, assuming that Wesker’s strength is greater than that of Chris Redfield than he should be able to push that 30,000 pound boulder with ease. With these feats alone in my opinion Wesker is already more powerful than most of the killers. He’s practically untouchable if he’s focused and has immense strength. The only characters I think that could possibly stand a chance against him are maybe the supernatural ones, since Wesker can’t technically kill them. But I still think he can beat them though. I’d definitely like to know what everyone else thinks about this comment. Happy to post and give my insight!

[@TheTerrorNavigator]

One more thing I want to say is that I believe the Onryo can definitely beat Wesker since all she really has to do is look into his eyes. I don’t think Wesker’s sunglasses can save him from a curse. It’s just not happening. I don’t think pinhead would be able to touch Wesker no matter how many chains he tries to summon. I think Freddy can beat him though, assuming that they’re both in the dream world and Freddy is more powerful than him. Pyramid heads power is very hard to quantify. I personally think Wesker is more powerful but I don’t think he could actually beat Pyramid head since he’s not mortal, he’s literally the concept of penance. So maybe a draw?

[@theARoberts]

I've been convinced that Wesker is definitely a top the list of human and superhuman Killers, but probably would struggle with many of the supernatural ones. I agree he stands a chance against Pinhead, though my vote would still be on Pinhead ultimately. Some of the comments have made me think he could probably outlast Spirit because of his speed and ability to dodge bullets. But I still think he would lose to Dredge, Onryo, and Pyramid Head. Those three are just unstoppable. Wesker is intelligent, fast, and strong, but RE5 proved he's still stoppable.

[@OwlpoAnimations]

@@TheTerrorNavigator I feel like the concept of penance would be very strong against Wesker. Wesker has done a lot of fucked up shit, so Pyramid head 100% wins. Wesker was also brought by the entity, unlike Pinhead who just arrived. I think Pinhead would still win the fight, but it would be close.

[@dyllon5211]

@@OwlpoAnimations that’s interesting! Although I’d argue that Wesker doesn’t seemingly have any repressed guilt for the things he’s done, so does Pyramid Head still have that advantage? My next concern is if Pyramid Head could touch Wesker; PH is heavily hindered by the weight of his head and knife while Wesker can dodge bullets point blank. In SH2, which admittedly isn’t the best demonstration of PH’s feats, James Sunderland can evade his blade with ease. So an argument I’d make is that Pyramid Head’s slow attack against Wesker’s incredible ability to dodge, the only hope Pyramid Head will have is if he can grab Wesker…in which case, it’s a test of strength, which they both have a lot of.

[@Darkslay3rexe]

I believe that the wesker vs dredge fight is pretty close but wesker doesn’t have any true way to put the dredge down for good. Wesker is smart enough to know he shouldn’t get close so he might abuse his speed to take away his appendages without touching him but wesker does have overexposure to light/darkness due to the viruses modifying his vision. Dredge could just use nightfall to get the jump on him and consume him. Also dredge could (as seen in lore) could hypothetically just turn into a big void around the trial and wesker would have no way to escape the mass.

[@theARoberts]

Those are my thoughts exactly. There's a possibility it just ends in a draw or an endless stalemate. But Wesker cannot defeat the Dredge so if someone has to win then I've gotta vote Dredge. Unless Wesker has endless endurance, the Dredge will eventually catch up and consume him.

[@zatripper6674]

It’s true the Spirit is a ghost. But in order to interact with the world of the living she must become tangible, even if instantaneous. And I’m telling you, the millisecond she manifests near Wesker - whether in front of him or behind - it does not matter. He is too fast and his reflexes are too quick, and even worse he would sense her coming. And he definitely knows of her because he is too smart. He would roundhouse kick her into the void if she ever attempted to attack him.

Thing is that in RE5, it's shown he can be snuck up on even when he knows who he's facing.

[@MildlydepressedLucario]

For Myers VS Nurse this is how it plays out. Nurse looks around for Michael, Michael hides and stalks the Nurse. Waits for the right time to attack and gets a good slash or stab, rinse and repeat. Or if she finds him first, she blinks to him and attacks him but then goes into fatigue. Michael recovers quickly from the slash and then immediately grabs the Nurse and proceeds to mori her. Fatigue is what gets her killed, or the time it takes to blink away.

[@the_shadowphoenix]

It would come down to the godlike characters like Dredge, Executioner, Onryō, and Pinhead. Then it would be a stalemate. Even then, if we assume Sadako has a physical form (I'm not familiar with Ringu lore), I'm of the view that the Dredge would absolutely win. It's an ancient being that feeds off of evil and dark thoughts, and it can use literally anything for its body. It traverses dimensions and can't die. It wins in this matchup against these four.

[@blackturtlesoul7387]

Honestly... I'm going to agree with you on this. Pyramid head did lose to James Sunderland twice( their first encounter doesn't count). Pinhead... is a demon figure who enjoys inflicting pain and suffering so dredge would have a field day around him and then probably body him. Onryo? I've no idea on her but she's brimming with negative emotions so dredge will be perfectly fine to give her the Maurice(Sorry if this isn't how you spell the horse's name) treatment

[@painandsuffering7130]

I agree with the stalemate. I honestly think the four of them would just give each other side eyes and go their separate ways to hunt humans, because humans are who they are really interested in and they would just find fighting each other pointless. And as all of them are there basically for fun, out of their own volition, the Entity couldn’t force them to do anything they themselves didn’t want.

[@theARoberts]

You're correct that they would be a stalemate technically speaking. But someone has to win. I see the argument for Dredge, and he just won the original characters only tournament which I 100% agree with. However, Pyramid Head is only able to be defeated by himself technically speaking (which happens when he no longer has a purpose) and Onryo is a psychic projection of herself into the Entity's realm via her psychic connection with the Entity itself, which not only means she's incredibly powerful, but also not actually there to be able to be hurt. So she could inflict damage to the Dredge but not receive any herself (this is of course assuming I've interpreted her existence in the realm correctly)

[@hermitvii5757]

I feel like people are taking in game mechanics to litteraly for characters like Spirit. Sure she can be walked into in game or pallet stunned but that's obv for balancing reasons. Characters like Sadako also can be stunned by pallets despite being spiritual beings. It's also litteraly just her name The Spirit, she's clearly meant to be a ghost. No amount of bullet timing feats or advanced IQ is helping him beat something he can't touch.

[@theARoberts]

I see the point about the pallet stun being for balancing reasons. I've made a similar point before on other scenarios. I think the one thing that might make me think Spirit can be hurt is (if I remember correctly) her pallet stun actually sounds like it hurts her, where Onryo recoils but doesn't sound in pain. Spirit's also able to phase in and out rapidly without cooldown in her mori, so many have pointed out her cooldown as a weakness, but that's clearly just gameplay balancing to me.

[@mattcocobetter492]

So on Oni vs Hag, I didn't vote, but I can understand why some people voted hag. Yes she is a thin twigly old... thing. But Oni is essentially just a spirit of pure blood list. Hag before being turned into that thing, had been taught many charms and hexes, and basically let the use of those evil hexes become a part of her. Fist vs fist, Oni destroys. But hag would definitely be more of the sneaky trap type using her hexes and charms. Which, supernatural power is more likely to harm another supernatural being.

Perhaps Hag with her various hexes, illusions and teleportations could run circles around an enraged Oni, but I think he actually stands a better chance without the rage boost. He is a samurai hardened by battle and knows about war tactics and strategy, if he kept a cool head long enough he could probably see right through her illusions and figure out she gets her power from totems.

Some of these matchups were definitely a popularity contest 😅 Spirit loses to Wesker??? I THINK NOT

[@theARoberts]

I know right?! I'm excited to see your video on this topic!!

[@Nepu_Nep]

I think the argument behind Spirit vs Wesker is that really neither one could harm each other. While as spirit could never feasibly land a blow on Wesker, Wesker could still theoretically find a way to harm, subdue, or simply outlast spirit. It's a way by attrition, but it ends with Wesker on top 100% of the time

[@theARoberts]

I definitely see your point on that. I would still personally argue Spirit is fast enough to land a blow, but describing it as a war of attrition I would 100% agree with, one in which I can see your point of Wesker outlasting it and finding a way to subdue her.

[@MrLeninMan]

I’m not really too sure just how fast the spirit can move but it would definitely be near impossible for her to hit Wesker, as we’ve seen some of the fastest speeds Wesker has gone at, he is able to move so fast that it seems like he is teleporting. For reference, take a look at the cutscene in RE5 where Jill and Chris confront Wesker at the Spencer mansion, he seemingly teleports from one side of the room to the other to dodge their bullets

[@Killinsworth]

Yeah, while wesker has no supernatural way of damaging her (Though the resident evil series has given some of the viruses some supernatural abilities, just with a very fake-sciency way), Spirit has no way of damaging Wesker, with his speed of both dodging and reaction being good enough for bullets fired from trained soldiers.

[@juanpineda8698]

Don't forget he has shown in the series he can regenerate, and she doesn't have any supernatural way to prevent that either. A sword going very fast can't do as much damage as an rpg shot to the face which he's shown to easily shrug off during his fight with Chris and Sheva, or even hit him since he's able to dodge bullets.

[@ProVoiceActor1Dubs]

Me personally I don’t think Sadako or pin head could really beat each other… it’s like a powerful object against an immovable force, as the only thing powerful enough to harm pinhead is the lament configuration and his “god” that runs the realm he is from, whereas sadako is by all extents and purposes “dead” so you can’t kill a ghost, and she can’t really hurt pinhead as he’s on an entirely new level than what she herself goes against…

[@theARoberts]

You're not wrong there. The big 3 (Pinhead, Sadako, and Pyramid Head) are really completely unstoppable. So in reality they would all be at a stalemate. But since someone had to win it I think Onryo had to take out Pinhead IMO

[@Demrogeron]

As much as i love wesker there is just no way he BEATS dredge. I get that dredge probably couldn't get him either buy any damage wesker does to the dredge wouldnt actually hurt it. Like even if wesker chops off an arm, that wouldnt hurt the dredge bc the dredge is just the black mist. It would literally just bring the rest of the arm back and replace it with one of it millions of victims' arms. Eventually wesker would have to get exhausted and dredge would get him. And that could make dredge 10x more powerful

[@theARoberts]

My thoughts exactly!

[@Moghster6969]

[@leonelpreciado147]

I think that the dredge should win because the dredge can teleport to the lockers which means he can't get hurt by any killer if they try to hit him he will teleport to the lockers.

[@theARoberts]

Gameplay-wise, that's a fair argument 😂Lore-wise though, pretty sure they'd just break the lockers apart with whatever weapon giving him nowhere to teleport to.

To be honest he wins not only because of thst

[@leadman7600]

[@CadaverCA]

The "Myers wasn't immortal until the 4th movie" is a very cop-out argument since Myers in the first movie AT LEAST is a super human, while Trickster is man with knife, Myers would absolutely be able to withstand his knives

[@weskintime4177]

Using the scaling from the versions of each character in the game (not composite) the winner is Dredge as he draws power from an entire extra dimensional space. Next is Myers as he has the first three movies and (based off the Laurie costume) the new trilogy. Third is Freddy, followed by Wesker, then Nemesis, then Pyramidhead, then Pinhead, then Oni, then Knight, Huntress, Trapper, Plague, Artist, Hag, Bubba, Blight, Demogorgon, Hillbilly, Doctor, Trickster, Spirit, Twins, Wraith, Nurse, Slinger, Legion, Pig, Ghostface, and Clown. Spirit is weak as hell as she can be stunned by pallets meaning she is not immune to damage. Using composite the only killers that matter are Pinhead, Freddy, Michael, Dredge, and Ghostface. Mostly using scaling from their own series and crossovers (which is how Ghostface > 2/3 roster when composite, thank you CoD Black Ops Cold War for fucking the scaling). Pinhead in his own realm in the comics is just outright universal and same with Freddy (Necronomicon absorbed). Myers in the comics is unable to truly die as he can posses other people turning them into the Shape (Halloween 3 comic where Laurie killed him), Dredge has that whole dimension powering him and Ghostface would have all the CoD shit.

[@Sinrix]

For power scaling beings for killers, Pyramid head is some fucked construct being more so a protector but his lore is nuts, pyramid head would definitely be 2nd most powerful being a literal demon however i could see him winning due to the fact if he is this by choice that means the other cenobites could invade and also partake in combating pyramid head, demons vs a construct would be an interesting concept, onryo is probably the 3rd strongest imo simply due to her being a ghost virus psychic but loses to pinhead just because he literally counters her, would give wesker 4th simply due to his strength speed stamina intelligence and powers, then i’d say dredge or plague, i do believe plague could infect dredge and melt the limbs that it would use to move however killing dredge is impossible since it’s fog but incapacitate imo is winning which is why i think plague should win and why wesker would defeat dredge because wesker could infect the limbs and maybe even forcing it to obey him

[@theARoberts]

I do appreciate your thought process in all of this. I'm not sure I'm with you just yet that the other cenobites could invade the Entity's realm. Also, how do you think Pinhead counters Onryo?

If you factor in lore and not just in game mechanics, the Hag is probably the best character to go against Oni out of the entire cast. The Hag is a witch, before she became a cannibal she was learned in protective charms and other spell work. She was the first character to introduce hex perks so we can also gather she knows how to make them. Oni, being a demon, would make him vulnerable to being banished, warded off or cast out by the hags magic. It's the physical plane killers like huntress and hillbilly that would make short work of the hag. I think she takes it against the likes of Oni or Spirit.

[@bezel95]

Oni isn’t even a demon, he’s just a very angry human. Frankly I think Oni would do better against Hag when NOT in rage mode so he could think more strategically when fighting around her hex magic, illusions and teleportations.

[@theARoberts]

Definitely an interesting take and I have been convinced since posting that I underestimated Hag in that fight. That said, Oni isn't a true Oni from what I understand, but rather the Entity's interpretation of an Oni based on Kazan's hated nickname, in order to keep him angry. So he's actually less supernatural than a true Oni. But, that said, Hag's hexes could still be very formidable if she has more (which I definitely assume she does) than the Survivor oriented ones in game.

[@sibsart2039]

I don’t remember it specifically, but from what I understand Ghostface also has the Entity’s favour, his method of killing with stealth and stalking is something it agrees with and is best for extracting hope and feeding the Entity, and unlike Myers and Pig he doesn’t bend the rules of the trial in any manner, and is also one of the killers most willing to stay in the Entity’s realm. Unlike the Twins, who only stay there so Victor and Charlotte can stay together. His cloak flapping is also directly from the Entity’s constant influence I believe. He doesn’t beat a majority of the killers due to pure physical skills difference, but I can atleast see him beating the twins lol, especially since while separate they’re one of the most vulnerable killers to exploit getting the drop on, which Ghostface is also going to be able to cause in the first place by potentially luring Victor away by vanishing into the shadows.

One thing I don't agree on is your argument for Blight vs Legion, Blight destroys one legion memeber I get that, but we don't know how Blight captured all of the Legion, he could've just waited till they were all alone, to take them one by one, which he can easily do. I don't know if Blight has a lot of intelligence, but he did capture other killers, so I guess he is smart enough to know that he could possibly be stopped if he tries to capture all of them at once.

[@Collosus]

Ok since I love discussions revolving around who is stronger in lore (powerscaling for short) I will go trough each matchup and say if I agree, and if I disagree I am going to give my reasoning. Also I dont have all the information about the characters here so please correct me if there was some wrong information here. Round 1: 1. We dont really know the speed of either Dredge or Wraith so I assume they are equal speed. That means Dredge just has to hit Wraith a few times and its a pretty quick match. 2. - 5. Agreed 6. In the realm of powerscaling its usually a rule that the opponents have to at least be able to interact with each other (unless we talk about characters that are dimensionally higher but that will come later) so that a super powerful being doesnt get defeated by a regular ghost just because it cant be interacted with, because then machups will become lame. This rule is called verse equalization and if you apply it then Wesker wins. But its your video so its up to you since its your video your rules. 7. If it takes place in the Entitys realm then there are way too many hiding spots for Ghostface to just sit and wait for the perfect opportunity to strike. If its an open field then it can go either way ( would be more towards twins) but if you really want for Ghostface to win, we can take some feats from the new Scream movie trailer where he is shown to be able to dodge shotgun shells at a close to medium range. So with that reaction speed he is the clear winner. 8. Agreed with the result but not with your reasoning. Blighted skins are only cosmetics with no lore implications so to use that into the argument, while also saying that other characters beat Blight even if they themselves have the same skins seems a bit contradictory to me. But yeah Blight is mutated so he is either faster or stronger then peak humans or maybe even both. Combine that with his abilities and normal humans with knives stand no chance. 9. Agreed 10. You just found a new type of overkill with that matchup 💀 11. Agreed. Since its the layout of the Entity there are too many spots to put up traps. 12. Agreed. 13. Overkill again 💀 Round 2: 1. The same with 6. 2. Now if Weskers mutated arm can somehow withstand Dredges effect then he could just continuously use that until Dredge cant fight anymore. However that is a big if and even then we dont know the full extend of Dredges powers. 3. - 9. Agreed Round 3: 1. Agreed 2. Removing survivors or himself from the realm cant really lead us anywhere since that is basically teleportation. The same with Onryo. Now if ,,de manifesting ,, can effect the laws of physics or any other law of the universe then that easily makes her the most powerful character in the game, but there is to little information on that to speculate that far. Anyway this could go either way. (After further research she does not have any law manipulation powers. 3. Agreed 4. Since there are so many types of immortality in fiction people started to divide them into types for these kinds of arguments. We see that he is immune to stuff like temperature, bullets, poison and so on but someone like Pyramid Head that can warp reality should not have that big of a problem. (Side not after checking the wiki for Pyramidhead he has type 1,2 and 8 of immortality so yeah this is an easy machup). Round 4: 1-2. Agreed Final and Bonus round: Agreed Some things to add: So I searched about Onryo and Piramidhead and I found out they are so called ,,wall level,, so in the grand scheme of things, not as powerful as I thought. With all that being said all I see here are Luffy victims. If you know the character you know why I am saying that.

[@Collosus]

Wow that was a handful to write.

[@theARoberts]

Love the detail and thought you put into this comment, thank your sharing all of that. Love seeing your thought process and explanations on it. A couple things I'd add in response, Wraith v Dredge, Wraith is technically faster than Dredge, base speed in game they are the same, but cloaked Wraith moves even faster. Regarding Ghost Face and Twins, it is in the Entity's realm, which does have some open fields, but a lot of hiding spots too. Ghost Face is also an original character to DBD (i.e. not the same from the Scream movies). They licensed the mask, not the movie. Regarding Blight, skins actually do contain lore bits in this game. Some questions remain on what is canon or just for fun. DBD is multiversal as well, so skins can work within lore that way. All that to say, there is some lore to be pulled from the blighted skins. Fun theory about Onryo, she may not even be in the realm at all, she's very possibly just a psychic projection of herself into the realm through her psychic connection with the Entity. All in all, great conversation mate, really appreciate you taking the time to write all that out. Happy to chat more in the Discord as well.

[@Collosus]

@@theARoberts That is an excellent response. Honestly I didn't expect you reading the whole comment since I wrote so much. But the fact you did and gave such a concrete response makes me happy. I do have something new to ask though. Since blighted skins are part of a larger multiverse, doesn't it mean we should specify which versions of the character we are talking about? It is actually a big issue in stuff like superhero comics because of the absurd amount of transformations and power ups they get. Anyway this was a really engaging conversations and would be lovely to talk in discord about topics like this. We could even try to make the fairest machups between DBD characters, and characters from other video games or media like movies and anime.

Shredding flesh like butter, she would TKO pretty much all of the human cast. Oni can run, and collect blood. He has a big wooden whacking stick and a selection of swords. Hag could snap his weapons in half like children's toys, example being the doors, pallets, and concrete or metal flooring on some maps. That leaves a fist fight with a running giant. He has been to battle with samurai that fought him with human limitations. But I doubt he could tell the difference between a phantasm and the real deal. He slams against nothing, and next thing you know. There is a mangled claw hand dug into his rib cage like a kid digging into an unattended brownie tray. Same goes for Trickster, Huntress, Pig, Bubba, Ghostie, Slinger, Doctor, Twins, Trapper, Clown, and Legion 4 on 1. Wesker might stand a chance, but chances are, Hag might just eat on his Oroboros arm like a slithery all you can eat buffet. These RE viruses mutate whatever they infect, who knows what it could turn Hag into if she actually willingly ate some of it. Hag would def lose against some of the fellow magical reality bending creatures though. Wraith, Dredge, Spirit, Nurse, Onryo, and Freddy can just waltz past her hexes like they don't even exist. Which case it's over for her, can't really eat what isn't in your plane of existence. I think of Hag kind of like Gluttony from FMA. She consumes indefinitely and indiscriminately. If she can fit it into her mouth, it is gone. The entity made well enough sure that was the case. This is her feeding grounds, and just like Meyers. She loves to play with her food.

I also took Demo getting killed by the sword in S4 as him having been weakened by the fire first, but if I am incorrect in that, and the sword was all that was needed then I would definitely change my vote and Huntress wins.

I’m not super well versed in the lore of DBD and I’ve never played as Hag and I don’t face her often so my thought on Hag v Oni is can the Hag bleed? Cause if not I think the fight against Oni would be much more close since he’d be stuck as just a big strong guy with a sword essentially

[@theARoberts]

So I would say Hag most likely cannot believe, which would be a big nerf to Oni's overall power. However, I still think without his rage mode he greatly overpowers her (unless of course she has unknown hexes that could directly counter Oni's strength)

[@indianwarlord6935]

Spirit is too weak to harm wesker even if he couldn't touch her. It's like if an invisible baby was trying to beat up a pro mma fighter. A sword slash isnt going to do anything to him.

If we are doing movie lore than the cenobite is the strongest Since the only way to kill or defeat a cenobite is another cenobite But if dbd lore than I see why he would lose some Also if knight is a match it would be more difficult since he has 3 ghost guards and if oni or spirit fought knight knight could win since ghost vs ghost because of his 3 guards

[@theARoberts]

I'm doing my best to think of this from the perspective of source material lore + DBD lore (with probably an emphasis on the DBD side given I concievedof this happening in the Entity's realm). Thus the most powerful being in its own universe may no longer be so in the Entity's realm. I would totally conceded Pinhead is safe in his own universe, but in this case I think he's at least slightly less powerful than Onryo or Pyramid Head. That's at least where my head is at right now. And 100% agree, Knight only lost so badly because he had to go against Pyramid Head. Against any of the human characters, even some of the more supernatural ones he and his crew would stand a much better chance and no doubt win some.

I can completely get behind most of these. Myers would be dependent on whether it's the immortal or mortal version, I'm not as familiar with my Halloween lore but I believe DBD Myers is technically the mortal version, so I'd agree if so. I've come to agree that Wesker would beat Spirit, but I agree high diff. The only one I disagree with is Dredge, there's no way I see Wesker wining because Dredge's appendages are not actually the Dredge, and there's no way for Wesker to infect black fog. Technically, I could see it being a stalemate, because the Dredge would have a terrible time trying to catch Wesker, but I just don't think Wesker could even harm the Dredge. All the others I think you got pretty spot on.

[@cathemeraltheenby6840]

I'm sorry but There is NO way that Hag is taken out that early, especially by Oni. Hag is in the Top 5 most powerful killers, if interested then have a good read of my little rant... Note, I will talk about perks in this but not from the gameplay perspective but rather from their description. 1. Totems and Perks Hag is the owner of the totems in the trial. Not the Entity.No other killer is powerful enough to alter the entity's realm in the way Hag has. Lore-wise this is because her family lived in an area where magic, in particular luck magic, was commonly practised, making the Hag more supernatural than most of the other killers, especially the human ones (only ghostface may be an exception as he has the entity's favour). Oni has his own totem perk, but against Hag it wouldn't work. Blood Echo causes his victim's suffering to be inflicted on others. Hag, however has Devour Hope, the description"a hex rooting it's power on hope.the false hope of survivors ignites your hunger" meaning the longer the fight with Oni goes on, the more powerful Hag becomes. Ruin's quote says "a curse is upon you, it will be your ruin" meaning Oni has already been weakened going into the fight , he is NOT at his full power. Third seal inflicts blindness, but blindness in DbD just takes away aura reading so in this scenario let's assume that Oni's vision is impaired. Oni has Nemesis which would just make him more angry in this fight, and Zanshin Tactics, which has the quote "within your enemy's strength is weakness". However, this won't help as Oni's hope is made to become HIS weakness. Not to mention the curse Hag's ruin has put on him. And anyway, Zanshin Tactics is more of an analytical ability to detect weakness rather than a magical curse, which Hag has plenty of. 2.L ore As mentioned before, Hag, her family and village is deeply ingrained with magical power. The Oni, however, was only a samurai. A very skilled samurai with a questionable sense of honour, but a sword wielding psychopath nonetheless. Upon being killed by a village mob and taken by the entity, the Oni received his magical connection to his victim's blood. The Hag, however, had her innate ability amplified. Now, reading the in-game lore makes the Hag sound around 15 but BHVR confirmed that all characters are 18+, so Hag may instead be an 18 yr old magical student. Despite this Hag is still far more powerful than Oni, from a lore perspective as Oni's power still had to be gifted to him by the entity. 3. Power and add-ons Oni's power is very strong, but with one massive downside: it has to be charged up with his victim's blood. Hag was slowly eaten alive by her cannibal captors and it is largely presumed that she is dead. As such she has no blood to power Oni up. From here it is no longer Hag Vs Oni, it is teleporting Corpse Witch Vs Samurai Ghost with no power. When we introduce add-ons the Oni STILL has no advantage as his add-ons still require blood. Hag's add-ons can give her multiple advantages, for example Rusty Shackles - gives the Hag an opportunity for a surprise attack. Waterlogged Shoe - makes the Hag faster and the triggerer slower, which seems to be bad for a samurai don't you think? Scarred Hand - turns the Hag's mud phantasms from portals into decoys, Oni can't beat Hag if he doesn't know which is which Mint Rag - Hag can teleport at will, meaning the Oni will never get a single hit on her. That was a bit long but hopefully you can see how Hag is far, far, far more powerful than Oni in particular and the majority of the other killers in general. Definitely in the top 5 most powerful. Her perks weakens her opponents and makes her stronger and she can use her add-ons to drastically change her ability when some tweaks are required.

[@theARoberts]

I love the sheer amount of thought that you put into this one. Definitely makes a great case for Hag for sure. Thank you for this.

[@tarveshvideos]

Can't agree that Pyramid would win this one. Pinhead is not only a similar tyype of entity to Pinhead, but his basic kit has a larger variety. Telekinesis, chain summoning, telepathy, realm transference, extreme regeneration (which is why the Cenobytes constantly mutilate themselves), super human strength/durability (though the strength/durability could be argued to be a wash with Pinhead's). He's also mastered every magic spell ever conceived, and has gone toe-to-toe with Lucifer, yes SATAN HIMSELF, and survived. An angry spirit and punisher of the damned isn't touching Pinhead.

[@theARoberts]

I can respect this take. My understanding on Pinhead's non-DBD lore is somewhat lacking, I do admit. That being said, how do you think Pinhead would be able to damage Pyramid Head or Sadako?

[@tarveshvideos]

@@theARoberts he likely wouldn't bother. Seeing Pyramid Head for what he is, he'd likely just sideline him by punting him to another dimension, or using a spell to warp his body into a twisted puddle of flesh (he does some really crazy things with magic in the books to get a woman to give birth to an abomination). For Sadako, he'd likely look down on her as some base spirit regardless of how much power she has. He'd probably settle on turning her strength against her by using her pain and rage as conduits to her mind and trap her in a mental prison where she could only lash out at phantasms made from her own thoughts. He's on par with the most powerful of Biblical creations; Lucifer. And Lucifer nearly unseated God. Sadako and Pyramid Head simply can't stand against him.

The reason that wesker beats spirit is because spirit can't attack while phasing, and wesker is nigh unkillable so wesker would just have to wait for spirit to attack, and while she's on cooldown wesker turns her into drybones

[@YJL186]

he would just fly through her. she actually can't be harmed if you exclude gameplay and go by lore. he has no way to even harm her despite his feats.

[@theARoberts]

I have been convinced Wesker would defeat Spirit. She takes a physical form within the realm and he's too quick to be able to hit him with her katana. That said, her mori shows that she is actually able to phase back to back with great speed, so her cooldown is primarily gameplay necessitated.

[@wheelchairsam75]

i think a good matchup would be the blight vs the demegorgon, because the blight has restrained and injected most of the killers with the blight, like the oni or nemesis, so he could fare well against demegorgon, but blight still doesnt have a super effective way to injure the demegorgon

[@stopmotionyoutuber4599]

Every killer in this game starts with "The", also Oni is the second strongest killer in the game right behind Pyramid head. Onis are known to fight Gods, i feel like he could beat someone whos obsessed with tourture porn "Pinhead"

[@theARoberts]

Thanks for that! So I see what you are saying about Oni, however, he's not a true Oni of lore, but the Entity's interpretation of an Oni to mock Kazan and keep him enraged. In DBD lore the Entity is certainly stronger than Kazan, but Pyramid Head, Onryo, and Pinhead are all equal or even more powerful than the Entity. Pyramid Head doesn't have to play by the Entity's rules, Onryo has a psychic connection with the Entity and she projects herself into the realm, and Pinhead is able to remove Survivors from the realm completely, indicating not even he is trapped there.

[@TomRobertGaming]

Okay so Spirit isn't always etheral, she has a physical form we know this due to the fact that surviors can drop a plank of wood on her face and it hurts. Wesker (By my calculations) runs at 6.9x the speed of sound, he can repair his damaged cells thanks to Uroboros and the other drug he injects himself with, he can catch rockets, dodge bullets. Now spirit wouldn't be able to kill Wesker due to these things, but Wesker couldn't kill spirit either, it's a stalemate. Although when spirit is in her pysical form, Wesker would apply the beatdown. So he could win the fight, but not kill her Edit: Wesker couldn't do anything to dredge yet he is too fast for dredge, so stalemate, or dredge wins. Either one. EDIT: Nemesis DESTROYS Wesker like that isn't even a fight, Nemesis is nigh unstoppable, no matter what Wesker does to Nemesis. Nemesis would mutate and push forward, the only thing Wesker could ATTEMPT is trying to destroy the Ne-a parasite with Uroboros which is like a 50/50 but other then that. No Wesker doesn't beat Nemmy, not even close

[@theARoberts]

I always refine my thoughts after discussing things in the comments, so I’ve come to agree that Wesker, while he couldn’t kill Spirit, could likely defeat her for the reasons you noted. I agree that Wesker v Dredge is potentially a stalemate, but because of the arbitrary rules I set up for this tournament, someone has to win, so Dredge. I’m actually surprised that you think Nemi would beat Wesker. Isn’t Wesker more advanced than Nemi? (I haven’t actually played RE5 yet so I’m a bit ignorant on this version of Wesker)

[@TomRobertGaming]

@@theARoberts Nemesis is near immortal. Wesker was actually defeated by a rocket launcher at the end. Nemesis survived way too much already and his mutations are ridiculous.

[@thehomelander28]

The Dredge vs Wesker fight is a little harder to come around. Dedge is the incarnation of evil and suffering. Basically a god himself. Wesker on the other hand has all the pros i said before and i still stand by that. I think he is faster, smarter, stronger in every way tgen dredge. So the wuestion, what can wesker really do? Well i see two possibilitys: 1. As u said with plague, the dredge has physical limbs that should be able to be hurt or even ripped off. Wesker would be more then capable of dealing with that and leaving dredge with no physical limbs. So in result, dredge wouldnt be dead but he couldnt hurt wesker anymore. I see that as a win for Wesker. 2. If we go with the RE games aswell, that isnt weskers final form. His uroboros can mutate to a massive extent to increase all his attributes even more. With that, he could simply crush the physical parts of the dredge and never even let him near him. As another side point, the physical limbs of dredge should be able to get infected by Uroboros. So that would be a huge advantage aswell. I hope i made it a bit clearer for you why Wesker is more dangerous then you maybe thought at first.

[@corgi-w-852]

Personally I am seeing everyone defending Wesker and I agree. As stated, you don’t need to kill to win so Wesker could just beat her in the fight and pin her limbs down because she does have a physical form! But people need to remember that Spirits physical form is constantly phasing in and out, so how is Wesker supposed to even hinder Spirit? To knock out one of her arms he would need to get the multiple pieces of her arms and also somehow figure out a way to keep something that is constantly phasing in and out reality stuck. And most people are saying that she couldn’t hit Wesker because she’s too slow- no? She’s one of the fastest characters, and in her other realm she moves even faster and makes it impossible for Wesker to hit her! I get his mutations but comeon, there is no way-

[@theARoberts]

All your points are solid and illustrates why this one is so tricky. I love that you point out how fast she is (evidenced by her mori). Wesker is fast too, so I think she'd have a hard time hitting him, so ultimately it might become a draw. But someone had to win for the purposes of the list😂

[@wheelchairsam75]

the fight of onryo and freddy depends where it is at, if it isnt in the entitys realm, then itll be even, if it is in the entity real, then freddy is dead

[@theARoberts]

Agreed that the venue would have an effect, however, I viewed this as happening within the Entity's realm, so my vote is Onryo. Also, Onryo is a psychic projection of herself, so even in Freddy's dream world I think she'd have the upper hand, because that would mean she's already in his mind to enter the dream world at all (at least I would think this is how it would go based on what I know about her)

[@theARoberts]

I certainly hear you on the strength of Pinhead, I agree. That said, I think you are WAY underestimating Onryo, lore-wise she is incredibly powerful and has a psychic bond with the Entity itself. Yes, gameplay wise he's stronger so if we go off of that alone then of course he wins. But factoring in the lore of the source material + DBD, Onryo is more potent than Pinhead, even as strong as he is. She can demanifest to dodge his chains and doesn't have to even touch him to break him with her mind. That's where I'm currently at on this at least.

[@Sinrix]

@@theARoberts yeah i understand that point, however if we go with what his abilities in full are, he can actually teleport anywhere unlike the game where he is restricted to the box, can also de manifest himself this is even shown when he vaults through the survivor perspective where he just walks through the windows, the last thing onryo would want is to get close to a demon who’s job is to take souls to hell since she is a soul herself, he is immortal and is immune to pain and can summon other demons and cenobites, in other words he could turn all of the entity’s realm into hell and which their job is well to take souls

I kinda see the reason people voted hag agents the Oni. While the Oni may be stronger physically hag has the advantage power wise. Her power doesn't need blood to charge so if she can trick the Oni she could try to wear him down to exhaustion, but would that work or not depend of witch interpretation of the Oni you take as in some stories some Oni are almost like gods. If it's the kind of Oni we have in the game then The hag is done for how do you want to tier a god like being. Plus even if she has a fighting chance if she get hit it's over, the Oni get his power and smash her down literally, it's not like her traps can help her get away since for her to tp to one they need to be triggered. Over all I do agree Oni would have more chance to win. The Hags only chance are only if, sorry Hag players.

Nightfall 60 seconds is more than enough time for the Dredge to clap Wesker in the dark This could go 50/50 i guess

[@theARoberts]

I've been won over to think that Wesker would probably beat Spirit (or at least there's no way Spirit could beat Wesker with his speed). With regards to the Dredge though, the Dredge can use non-biological things for its appendages as well, evidenced by the winter or doll cosmetics, so it becomes an endless threat even if Wesker could destroy the fleshy bits. The Dredge itself would eventually overwhelm him I think. But I also like what you said about Nightfall being an advantage for the Dredge too.

My personal opinion, Blight wins hands down, by the lore behind the blighted skins Blight defeated most of the killers, one of them being Pyramid Head, the winner of this video, he is one of the only beings that can harm the entity really bad, and he also broke his way into the entity realmente survived out of the trials for a lot of time like the observer, also the entity grants him a lot of favours, either bcs It likes Blight or bcs It fears Blight, and I believe more on the second option since the entity does nothing at all when Blight hunt down the other killers to experiment on them, hell, he might not even be stuck inside the trials and actually move outside them

[@theARoberts]

That's fair, to be honest I'm less read up on Blight's lore currently. That said, even with the blighted skins I'm not sure that means Blight "beat" them. He would just have to get in fast and close enough to inject and run away. We know that Wesker was willingly injected, and even ones like Pyramid Head and Nemesis clearly just became stronger because of the serum.

Wesker I guess would then fuck off and find some exorcists to deal with her ass I guess but thats lame.

@@Moghster6969 Probably just stalemate. Neither can hurt eachother. Maybe Wesker can tear through literally every piece of human gore that dredge has collected but I don't know if that'd actually kill it as Dredge is just the black mist controlling the bodies so I dunno

Bro... A vacuum beats dredge

😂 Last time I checked though there weren't any vacuums in the Entity's realm

Whenever Onryo tries to Mori Pinhead, he'll just go "F U, IM INTO THAT SHIT," and then kink her into oblivion. You can't really kill a Cenobite. I think the fight would be a stalemate personally.

😅Honestly, you're not wrong that it would be a stalemate... but someone has to win by my arbitrary rules 😂
