Last time RT grew we got Funhaus which was cool and am looking forward to seeing what this brings.

Doesn't ScrewAttack and The Escapist have the same parent company?

OT: And now, we know for a fact that Yang vs Tifa Death Battle was rigged as fuck.

 

[MatParker116]

Both owned by different MCN's Fullscreen in the case of RT and SA, Defy in the Escapists case.

It seems Defy also owns GameTrailers but for some reason on ScrewAttack's site there's a link to go to it, not sure what's up with that.

Founder used to work there and yeah people are gonna be pissed.

Considering that nothing that yang has ever done has comes anywhere close to the level of this:

And yet Tifa can survive that, yeah I would say that Death Battle (as we'll as Cloud vs. Link) is way off base. To a rather staggering degree in fact to be anything other than rigged.

Hand animated fights decided by personal opinion and entertainment value, rigged you say?

Surely not!

As long as Fox always beat Captain Bucky'O'Hare to death all is well. Although Doom guy should have totally nailed Master Chief, not the other way round.

The fuck did I just watch? Two minutes for a single attack? I'm beginning to remember why I hated FF7. Not to mention I don't remember that fight at all.

Yeah, because anyone who thinks that Screw Attack would kill one of Monty Oum's characters is a complete sucker. They had that tribute to him at the end of the Samus vs Boba Fett remake which was just a remake of the Haloid credits. Yet there would be a single chance they would animate Yang's death?

I know! Pissed me off that they screwed with the integrity I've come to see in Death Battles that they basically wasted Tifa on a fight with Yang! Yang laughed off Tifa's entire offensive! Tifa didn't have a chance! Squash matches suck! X(
I'm not mad that Yang won, or Tifa lost, I'm just not at all liking the way it all went down, and by the rules, a dead character can't fight anymore, so they wasted a really good candidate for a death battle just to hype one of their own characters! Tifa's research was sloppy, too.
I'm really hoping they don't continue this trend.

[TristanBelmont]

Well they have the same parent company sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

In all seriouslyness, I can't fucking wait for collaborations between all these nerds.

 

[CrystalShadow]

So... Important question...
Is the new thing called screwteeth? Or Rooster Attack? XD

Oh, please. I knew the outcome as soon as they showed that Yang survived a terminal velocity fall and they described Tifa as a "glass cannon". I knew at that point that Tifa couldn't do enough damage to overcome Yang's defense and that she couldn't survive Yang's counter. And if you doubt that, you can check out her fight with Loz in Advent Children. Taking that into account there is no way she could handle Yang's full force.

That has never been a rule. Ever. If that was a rule, Batman wouldn't have been in a second Death Battle.

They also stated in the preshow that they "hate using RPG characters" because half the point of a RPG is player choice. With FF7 characters there's literally no limit to the spells a character could have and plenty of those would turn the tables. They struggle to remove "Player input" from the fight. They even stated in the post show that there were plenty of materia that would have made it Tifa's win. I can personally think of about a dozen that would have crushed Yang.

Listen guys. I'm the biggest FF7 fan on this site. I literally play the game every year. I actually like Advent Children. I don't even hate Dirge of Cerberus. I will be buying a FF7 themed PS4 and the remake's collectors Edition even if I have to buy two copies of the game.

Tifa lost fair and square. Deal with it.

Now, the Cloud vs Link fight was BS. There's no way Link could defend against Omnislash. He's not more skilled than Sephiroth.

Coulda sworn it was a rule. If not, then my bad, but there's still no telling when Tifa'll get utilized again.

I don't care what they said pre-show. If they didn't like using her, then they prolly shouldn't have. <.<

Of course there's plenty of materia that could've helped her win. The issue is with what they gave Tifa, there's no way she could have won. It wasn't "fair and square" because they knew Tifa didn't have a chance, and used her anyway.
Again, it's not that Tifa lost, or Yang won, it's the vastly unbalanced matchup. There's no way it could have been interesting. Yang could have taken Tifa's offense all day, every day because Yang gets no defense boosts, and with everything she had, Tifa couldn't even KO Yang so she couldn't use her semblance.

Death Battle, to me is about the glorious fight, and the struggle to win. Yang had no struggle. She simply curbstomped Tifa after laughing off all 7 of her limit breaks. The fight was nowhere near even meaning the fight, IMO, wasn't fair.

They never said they dislike Tifa. They merely said that figuring out RPG characters is a pain. Think of it like this. What would they do for Sheperd in a Death Battle? His/Her sex isn't even standard. His/Her abilities and personality vary wildly from player to player. He/She would be a nightmare to use in a Death Battle.

Food for thought. If they gave Tifa Destruct materia, it would have been a curbstomp in her favor. Like I said, there's dozens of materia that would have let Tifa win. Easily. (Shield materia)

However, they try to take player input out. To do this, they used Dissidia where Tifa is a playable character. In that she uses fire attacks and ice magic. So they used that to figure that she personally favors fire and ice materia and gave her that. It's extremely common materia in the game, so there's no question that she could have access to it. The idea is that if Tifa doesn't know what she's up against, this is her default.

Struggle? How many Death Battles have you watched? Plenty of them end up amounting to one person owning the fight. Spawn versus Kratos, for example. Kratos never had a chance in that fight and the analysis made it clear.

Honestly, this sounds more like you're upset because a character you like got killed than anything. I like Tifa, too (FF7 fanboy), but she lost the fight and I'm okay with that. I'm also okay with Goku losing. Twice. Though I do think they did the rematch a bit too early based on what we've seen in Super so far.

I probably wouldn't mind their opinion pieces if they weren't so heavily rigged. Giving Link all of his best weapons from every game, while giving Cloud his crappy starter set? I mean, they aren't even trying to hide it. I feel like they just have an ax to grind. Besides, even with the odds stacked in Link's favor, Cloud would have wrecked him. I love both characters to death, but lets get real.

I don't really like Screw Attack, and I don't know much about Rooster Teeth. I guess it's good that Monty's work is being continued, though. My sister will be pleased. I'm sure he would have wanted it that way, and his fans will be satisfied.

I'm also okay with Goku losing. Twice. Though I do think they did the rematch a bit too early based on what we've seen in Super so far.

Again, I'm aware materia could have helped Tifa immensely. I basically agree with what they gave her since even in Ehrgeiz that's the sort of stuff she used. I didn't expect her to use Knights of the round on Yang, or some absurd high powered materia. I expected an honest to goodness knockdown, drag out fight that couldn't possibly have happened because I don't even understand why Yang was bleeding since she took everything Tifa threw at her in stride with no further injury.

I've watched all of the death battles, and they could actually hurt eachother for the most part. They were basically built up to make it believable that the fight could go either way from start to finish for the most part. Again, Tifa used everything she was allowed to have, and it was an absolute joke to Yang. This was probably the most one sided fight they've ever done, and it feels corrupted even further because it was used to promote Yang, and RWBY, and the fact that the show, and character were tied so close to Death Battle.

Goku Vs Superman was different, IMO. It's a massive internet meme that they decided to settle. Twice. I get that. It had a point as to why it was the way it was.

Look, I love RWBY, FF7, Yang, Tifa, Death Battle, Oum, Dead Fantasy, etc. but this match was all wrong on so many levels. It's not that Tifa lost, or Yang won it's the circumstances of it. If the fight were fair, I'd be far less bothered.

 

[Drathnoxis]

Yang had no struggle. She simply curbstomped Tifa after laughing off all 7 of her limit breaks. The fight was nowhere near even meaning the fight, IMO, wasn't fair.

I've never seen Death Battle, but I thought I was following the argument up to this point.

Spoiler: I was pretty sure Yang was a dude.

I was pretty sure Yang was a dude.

If that wasn't the match, it should have been, because that would have been pretty sweet!

Spoiler: Nah, Yang from RWBY. A powerhouse blonde boxing dynamo with gauntlet shotguns powerful enough to rocket propel her through the air, intense strength, and immense durability.

<youtube=MFI0w5QWDh8>

I recommend the show.

I almost thought you meant Yang from Street fighter until I saw the pic.

I'm not sure if your Yang would qualify to fight Tifa, or not. It kinda depends on how Death Battle would see different final fantasy games interacting since same universe don't fight each other, and arguably the Final Fantasy series is one universe, or something... but hell, I haven't remembered the death battle rules for crap so far.

I recommend Death battle. For the large part, they research combatants abilities, and generally pair them with someone with a similar theme in a fight to the death.

I also recommend the little sibling show One Minute Melee which is like Death battle but faster, not necessarily to the death, and there's basically no research involved.

Fights are usually exciting, somewhat hyper kinetic, and usually somewhat even, though I don't often try to predict who'll win, I just enjoy the factoids, and seeing the fight.

 

[Shinkicker444]

People actually take that "Death Battle" stuff seriously? Even with their 'research' its mostly just fan interpretations of things, since it's impossible to make things fair, so of course its going to have bias.
