Screwattack and Rooster Teeth are now one thing

[kurokotetsu]

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

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.

As the biggest Link fan I will jump to his defense and say a simple thing. If the best "equipment" was taken into account there would be no video. Link has had access to the complete Tri Force, that means a world altering no boundries wish. Which means that he could just wish CLoud defeated. Still after all there was tons of equipment missing fo Link too and it is just based on opnion so, why take it so personally? You think that CLoud should win. Some of us think Link wins, it just fantasy.

OT: I hop this menas good things for both companies. I liked what I saw of RWBY and I remmber a time where I saw SA (when they had the AVGN) and liked hteir content. Hope it is good for both.

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

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.

Oh yes, how could she possibly survive an attack that deals damage in fractions and literally CAN'T KILL YOU?! I'm amazed at how the Tifa fanboys are such fanboys yet don't know the mechanics of one of the most famous attacks in the game. AMATEURS!

This is interesting news. I don't watch much SA stuff but maybe I'll check it out now. Who knows? I gave Funhaus a chance and that paid off very well.

But that's the thing, it's not about which character you like more. FF7 and OoT are tied for my favorite game. I like both characters about the same. That has nothing to do with it. They were clearly trying to stack the odds in Link's favor, which is silly. I love Link, but Cloud is just more powerful. No one is taking it personally, we're just pointing out their bias when we see it.

I mean, there are plenty of characters that are stronger then Cloud. It's not about fanboyism. I like Cloud way more then Goku, for instance, but Goku would destroy Cloud, and whatever planet he happened to be on. If they had Cloud beat Goku in a fight then I would call bullshit.

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

Well, one sounds incredibly wrong and the other is illegal in some places, so I'm compromising with Teeth Attack.

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

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.

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.
/vent

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.

you my friend hit the nail on the head on why people are upset about this, they don't want their favorite character to die. I get that, but its like people are just using this as an excuse to ***** about cloud again(which they have every right to) instead of actually looking at both fighters. I mean yang is pretty much hulk with a shield, that's a little hard to beat with anyone who isn't designed to fight her.

Part of me is surprised to see that people get so irate over those death battle videos.

And part of me really, really, really isn't surprised at all.

Well I would like to point out that the planet Earth is still around for that, so I think it's safe to say that attack was bollocks.

I REALLY LIKE ONE CHARACTER! They need to be able to beat up another major character! THEY CAN NEVER LOSE!

 

[Fappy]

I still agree with the Cloud vs Link outcome because Link has item hax that Cloud just can't compete with. Tifa vs Yang on the other hand? Pretty obvious pandering, honestly. They overestimated Yang's durability and didn't even consider Tifa's. Was the only Death Battle outcome I feel was legit rigged. All the previous ones I disagreed with provided decent arguments at least.

EDIT: Seeing a lot of people treating this as one of the silliest curbstomps Death Battle has done. That's just not true. There are plenty of other hilariously one-sided fights, and not all of them are bad for it. Darth Vader vs. Dr. Doom is one of my favorites. Thematically, it's a brilliant match up, but anyone with knowledge of Marvel comics could tell you how that fight would end.

About Cloud vs Link...

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

Link beating Cloud didn't really have anything to do with the equipment...as Clouds starting set - considering his Limit Breaks - is more than enough to absolutely trash Link.

What made the fight complete bullshit, however, is that they called a game mechanic one of Link's Abilities: "Z Targeting". It's this "ability" that allowed Link to omni-block Cloud's Omnislash. The problem is that Z Targeting isn't some magical ability that allows Link to block in all directions in a single instant, it's a game mechanic that makes fighting in a 3D world a lot less cumbersome. Hell, it's even named after the N64 controller button that activates it.

That's why that fight was utter bullshit.

 

[Fox12]

Not to mention that nonsense about Link having an unbreakable shield. Nowhere is it said that his shield is unbreakable, it's just a normal hylian shield. Just because it's unbreakable in-game for obvious game play reasons, doesn't mean that it can withstand Cloud's attack. Given what Cloud has done, he could cut through that shield like a hot knife through butter.

I watch it for laughs and entertainment. "Generally" they do a half-way decent job, but even when they come up with what I believe to be incorrect results I don't really care all that much.

Oh yes, how could she possibly survive an attack that deals damage in fractions and literally CAN'T KILL YOU?! I'm amazed at how the Tifa fanboys are such fanboys yet don't know the mechanics of one of the most famous attacks in the game. AMATEURS!

Correction, it could not kill the FF7 cast. It seemed to be enough to wipe planets from the solar system and extinguish the sun. And seeing as how Death Battle likes to use destructive power vs. inanimate objects as evidence to measure strength (such as Yang's ability to take a punch that shatters a concrete building support), it should count just as much as any other illustration of power. In light of that, the assertion that Tifa is a glass cannon could not be more incorrect.

On a related note, it seems likely that Superman might meet his match in Sephiroth considering that Sephiroth is able to remove the sun from the equation.

Yeah, sure, it extinguished the sun. Which is why the sun still exists after the battle, or even during the multiple times he can use it in the fight. I mean, I guess I just didn't think about it at all!

Please, stop trying to justify this with nonsense. Supernova is NOT that powerful, it just LOOKS powerful. Tifa got beaten by Yaz in the movie, who just hit her really hard with his fist a few times. I don't know if Yang is legitimately stronger or not, but Tifa is not God. It'd be a close fight either way and your inane fanboy ramblings won't change that.

Well those funhaus guys are fucking terrible, so anything to make them appear less is a good thing. I used to like the RT podcast but only when it was Gus, Barb, Gavin and Burnie but for me they were never that great ... Don't like RVB, any of the shorts etc then RWBY started and that didn't impress me, the podcast started having the lesser knowns on (such as Kerry etc) and they are AWKWARD! Then Funhaus turn up and I find their comedy painful to watch.

Now I only watch the patch and the know but only if it's Meg and/or Ashley 'cos the funhaus guys presenting it is again painful but also weird. They have two people in front of the camera, like Meg and Ashley but then they have some guy who is never on screen but shouts into the vids (again trying and failing to be funny) AND some guy with glasses sat WAY off to the side, who is occasionally on screen but with them in the background, not even facing towards the camera ...

One, why do you need 4 people to tell one news story? And letter B, why is it recorded so weirdly? 2 on camera, 1 on a cut away camera and another disembodied voice.

Now, you're going to add to this collective of awkwardness by adding in people I've never even heard of? Should make for an excellent show [/sarcasm]

EDIT: decided to watch a vid of theirs to see what it's like ... 38 seconds to start 'cos they made the first 30 seconds an advert and 8 seconds for their own title card, not loving it so far.

Well it wasn't an awful video, was about wolverine getting shot in the junk by punisher but never really got me to watch another video.

Can't be a bad merger but it wont get me re-interested in RT.

Did the Earth not continue to exist after the first Superman vs. Goku? Judging from the rematch setting it does seem to be the case. Would that not mean that the first fight never happened then where they split the planet? So why then does it apply to this fight, but not that one? The permanence of celestial bodies is clearly not a requirement or even a consideration when it comes to how Death Battle chooses to illustrate power. Never claimed Tifa was god. Just illustrated that she can survive an explosion from a supernova. May not qualify her as a god, but it certainly is not a feat I would use to brush her off as a "glass cannon".

My god, the logic hoops you're jumping through to try and win this argument are amazing. You're now applying a set of logic from one non-canon source to justify the logic in the game. That's just pure denial, right there. Especially since you ignored my point that Tifa, CANONICALLY, was beaten in a fist fight by Loz (though I got his name wrong in my previous post). So I guess in the Final Fantasy 7 universe, Loz's punches, which knocked Tifa out, are stronger than the sun exploding. Or that any attack in the game capable of knocking her out is stronger than the sun exploding. Man, why did anyone fear meteor doing paltry massive destruction to the planet? Why did Sephiroth even bother with it when he could just explode the sun, several times? Do you see the insanity you're trying to pass off as proof yet? At this point if you can't, I can't help you, but I would recommend maybe some kind of medication, or therapy.
