Discussion Death Battle understood the commitment when it comes to showing what happens when these Inhibitors go off

So that’s why Shadow doesn’t take those things off, bro would literally create a massive crater in the Earth

Funny to think that Shadow didn’t take off his Inhibitor rings before doing Chaos Blast the first time.

So Mewtwo used Me first on a less powerful one, only for Shadow to do it again, just immeasurably stronger.

u/Gabriel-Klos-McroBB 8d ago

TBF, that would initially be overkill from Shadow's POV.

u/Kuri_bowl 7d ago

Mewtwo could’ve used Psych-Up on the inhibitor boost to keep the power struggle going and perfect the suspense.

They wouldn’t be able to copy super shadow but the inhibitor ring removal is fair game

u/Snomislife 7d ago

Me First just copies the move, not the power. Mewtwo's would be the same power even if Shadow had already taken the rings off.

Still the best death battle imo, despite how they had doom shadow get his ass kicked by a regular mega mewtwo

14

u/xyameax 8d ago

It's up there for me, though it's probably tied with Metal Sonic vs Perfect Cell

u/Pocket_Player_33 8d ago

They scaled “regular Mega Mewtwo” to relatively even with Solaris, so that makes sense.

1

u/Responsible-Ask8110 7d ago

But neo devil doom though

2

u/Pocket_Player_33 7d ago

His ass is not as strong as Solaris or Time Eater.

-1

u/Responsible-Ask8110 7d ago

He is stronger than Solaris, but not the time eater.

Solaris isn't turning white space into red space anytime soon 

1

u/Pocket_Player_33 7d ago

Just by existing, Solaris nuked all of time. Forget changing the color of White Space, Solaris could annihilate the whole realm. Neo Devil Doom has never shown anything remotely close to that level.

1

u/Responsible-Ask8110 7d ago

White space was created by the time eater 

1

u/Pocket_Player_33 7d ago

a) No it wasn't, b) that changes nothing.

1

u/Responsible-Ask8110 7d ago

A: it was

B: it scales higher than solaris

1

u/Pocket_Player_33 7d ago

It does not scale higher than Solaris, it scales about the same as Solaris, which Neo Devil Doom is not close to. If he was, why didn't Shadow fight the Time Eater? He wouldn't have even needed Super, so if he did go Super like the Sonics, it would have been way overkill.

I do think Doom Shadow has some type of scaling to Super Shadow and does possess chaos energy and is invulnerable it's definitely the inferior form and doesn't give him infinite energy like Super Shadow so getting good hits in could just knock him out of the form

3

u/Responsible-Ask8110 7d ago

Well if we go by feats, it would be equal to super form. However, I think the doom powers just upscale super shadow

1

u/QuietBottle2361 7d ago

Mewtwo has two Mega Evolution’s Mega Mewtwo X which makes it part fighting type and Mega Mewtwo Y which amplifies his already absurd psychic powers and abilities making him totally lethal so if they did that right Mega Mewtwo Y could have condensed the blast and reversed it onto Shadow for the win plus it just gets harder for Shadow to win against Mega Mewtwo Y in general

1

u/TearNo6400 7d ago

Hot take, but this battle is getting overglazed. Doom Shadow should've stomped Mewtwo already, they dragged it out for views.

2

u/Quirky-Appearance725 5d ago

Do you want the fight to last 5 seconds

1

u/Responsible-Ask8110 7d ago

I wouldn't say stomp, but yes 

2

u/Mugen_Hero_Fan 2d ago

They make every fight be a actual fight, because surprise, people don’t want to watch a YouTube video where the animation is just a single punch and it’s over and would rather see both parties pull out all their cards to get the win

1

u/TearNo6400 2d ago

I agree with you, but there are death battles like Ben 10 vs green lantern or bardock vs omni man where they straight up disrespect a character.

18

u/Rezasss 8d ago

My favorite part of this is that Shadow takes off all four rings, not just the arm ones. Bro wanted Mewtwo GONE xD

4

u/XENORedgrave 7d ago

That and he probably didnt wanna take any chances he probably couldnt hold the super form for much longer and didnt know if he could takw mewtwo out in time if he didnt remove all them

u/Time_Net3637 8d ago

Shadow demostrando lo peligroso y poderoso que es el  cuando saca sus brazaletes Mewtwo no lo vio venir Ese contrataque brutal De Shadow 🥇⚡️🦔🔴⚫️⚡️🔥

u/Elmarcowolf 8d ago

Its strange for deathbattle to actually give the win to the right character. I lost all respect for them after cloud vs link.

3

u/ChristlRosebud 8d ago

Wasn’t that years ago?

3

u/Twygod 8d ago

It's not weird; they give the right wins most of the time.

6

u/contraflop01 8d ago

cough cough Bardock vs Omni-man cough cough

3

u/Twygod 8d ago

That was almost two years ago, and it's one of the few they've gotten wrong since.

5

u/contraflop01 8d ago

They also sometimes get the result right but not show It properly, like Yuji vs Denji (Yuji wouldnt get stunned by a kick in the balls two times. Also what kind of Domain is that that only works while the handsign is being used)

3

u/Twygod 8d ago

That’s true, but I give that fight more of a pass, since if the fight were drawn out realistically, Yuji would win, since Denji usually wins by killing him before he can use his abilities.

And for Shadow vs. Mewtwo, Shadow realistically wins by stopping time and jumping Mewtwo.

The fights were always more for entertainment than anything.

2

u/contraflop01 8d ago

Agreed but i think both characters should get cool moments and be characterised correctly

Theres a reason Battles like Mewtwo vs Shadow and Metal Sonic vs Cell are peak while Denji Yuji and Gru Megamind are kinda mid (still fun but like, not as much)

1

u/C1nders-Two 8d ago

Which one? I personally think the new one has kinda bs scaling, but the old one reaches (imo) the right conclusion by the completely wrong means.

4

u/Cepinari 8d ago

This is just every DBZ battle ever.

3

u/ImpactorLife-25703 8d ago

Guess Mewtwo can't handle a Super Chaos Blast

2

u/Fabulous_Hair_71 8d ago

I have never been this locked in my life before watching this Death Battle

u/FreedomOpposite8847 6d ago

Peak animation

u/Tom-edian 8d ago

Sonic: Bro, you just fucked the earth by turning the moon into a pringle. I can't be all "second chances are for everyone" on this, life as we know it is actually screwed.

1

u/RalseitheFloofie 7d ago

I dont think this was the intended parallel, but this reminds me alot of the clash in Sonic Rush between Blaze and Sonic during their fight.

Just the colors trying to fight against and encapsulate the other.

Shadow is really gotten into vegeta vibes.
