Unsure of a good way to make your fight more interesting than just "X Character vs. Y Character"? Check out our Official Submission Template for a few suggestions on how you can structure your battle with additional conditions and formatting to make it more interesting.



Rules - Wiki

  1. Be nice. Do not insult others, use derogatory terms, or resort to ad hominem arguments.
  2. Do not downvote. As this is a debate forum, we ask that you join the conversation, and not attempt to bury a point you don't like. If a post breaks the rules, please report it.
  3. Repost with moderation. We will remove posts that are duplicated in quick succession. We do not allow very similar posts on the same day, or an individual posting very similar posts every couple of days repeatedly. However, revisiting topics every once in a while is allowed.
  4. Do not make new posts more than 5 times a day.
  5. When making a claim about a character, be able to provide the source of that claim. A source can include the work of media that claim comes from, and the chapter, page, scene, ETC where it occurred. Refusal to provide details is considered posting in bad faith and can result in a warning or temporary ban.
  6. Do not post meta-topics without mod approval, except on "Meta Monday" when we open posts to general meta conversation. Meta-topics include conversation topics, tournaments, events, or other non-conventional posts. This rule will only be enforced Tuesday through Sunday.
  7. Do not use disruptive or gimmick accounts. Accounts posting with a gimmick or agenda in mind will be banned.
  8. Posts may not be overly broad. A post must identify at least one specific combatant and must include all combatants in the title. A post may not include "...in all of fiction" or "...in all of history."
  9. Posts must include sufficient details about the characters, the situation and the win conditions. Posts with low effort descriptions will be removed.
  10. Do not use disallowed combatants and modifiers. Topics not allowed in posts include "you vs...", "your favorite character vs...", "a specific subreddit or online community vs..." or "character with a [color] lantern ring vs..."
  11. Posts and comments may not be deliberately distasteful, edgy, intended to bait drama, directly insulting, or clearly written to evoke shock value.
  12. Posts and comments may not push a specific political agenda. Posts involving any real-life political figure will be removed.
  13. Posts and comments may not simply be jokes, memes, circlejerk or copy-pasta topics. Posts that are funny are allowed, so long as they are also a topic that can effectively be discussed.
  14. Posts and comments that target a group of people (including but not limited to race, sex, gender identity, religion, political affiliation) are considered abuse and will be removed and the poster may be banned.
  15. Comments must add to the conversation. Short comments like "Goku stomps," or a single image as a non-responsive reply will be removed.

Additional Guidelines:

  1. Include detail when posting. Try outlining arenas, special conditions, multiple rounds and specifying the universe/version of characters if you're looking for a good discussion. Again, please see the suggested template above for more details.

  2. Admit when you don't know. No one expects you to be a genius when it comes to every aspect of every character. Always admit it up front if you're unfamiliar with a character.

The penalty for breaking the rules of this sub, contributing to spam, trolling, or purposefully making things more difficult for the mods may include being banned. We issue warnings if we believe the user means well but we are not obligated to do so. You can be banned for a first offense. Report rule breaking and leave rule enforcement to the mods

Remember, the mods are humans, and we realize you're human, too. Be nice and we'll respond in kind. Apologies go a long way if you mess up.

The population in North and South America has the largest share of Swedish, Italian, Welsh, Scottish, Somali, Afghan, Burmese, and Cambodian ancestry. How will history change?

In this timeline, they would replace the original ethnic groups that migrated to the Americas throughout history.

In North America, there are 20% Swedish, 22% Italian, 19% Welsh, 8% Scottish, 5% Somali, 7% Burmese, 4% Afghan, and 3% Cambodian.

In South America, there are 10% Swedish, 39% Italian, 9% Welsh, 8% Scottish, 8% Somali, 7% Burmese, 6% Afghan, 9% Cambodian.

The United States, Canada and Brazil will still be established in history.

Anos Voldigoad, Gao Chuan, Kuromueina, Yue He, and Alovenus team up to take down Archie Sonic, Hoyoverse, Nasuverse, Dies Irae, and Umineko, can they take down those five verses or do they get crushed?

Anos Voldigoad (Misfit Of Demon Academy), Gao Chuan (Yin Tian Shen Yin), Kuromueina (A Wild Last Boss), Alovenus (Wild Last Boss), and Yue he (Marital Peak). These four characters will take on 4 different verses. I'm no power scaler by any means, and I'm more so doing this for fun, regardless of the result. I'd like to see how the community feels about this, mostly.

Could the 5 of them succeed in this venture, or do they get crushed?

Also, keep in mind that when I mean Hoyoverse universe, I also mean every property. At least these Zenless Zone Zero, Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Honkai Impact 3rd, Guns Girl Z, etc. I might be missing some, so if I am, let me know, and consider when I mean the whole universe of Mihoyo or Hoyoverse, I mean all of the properties or games they've made.

The same applies to the other verses in Nasuverse, Archie Sonic, Umineko, or Dies Irae.

The same applies to the characters in the 5-person squad.

If it's confusing, let me know. I'll try to clear it up.

So who'd win in this match up?

Android 16 (Android saga) Vs Final Form Frieza (Namek saga)

We can just say frieza never sustained the damages he needed to become mecha frieza and finds his way to earth a little after No. 17, 18 and 16 are freed from their capsules. One thing leads to another and he catches No. 16 alone and they both engage. Who wins?

I got money on 16, frieza was folded by SSJ Goku. 18 made SSJ Vegeta look like an amateur but couldn't scale to imperfect cell, and 16 was on par with cell

How do people even powerscale?

Guys, i'm flabbergasted, i've seen this video and i nearly Dell Down the chair

https://youtu.be/0sIMqffd9qA?si=-JdW54ZnPp9XxPBY

I mean, the guy is claiming Godzilla is MULTIVERSAL, yes, MULTIVERSAL! While showing feets of it destroying very small hills at most

The guy claimed the Armor Has the Power to tank the Power of black holes or something like that it Has Universal defense for that point, so logically you would need attack stronger than that to destroy that, right?

My problem? Godzilla blew the shot, it hit the the ground first and then it went for Armor, you see? If it could obliterate universe, it would, the moment it hit the ground

I mean, is IT so necessary to overscale each entiry to the outerversal in every settings?

If i see Godzilla to destroy a small Island, it is Island level. It is not outerversal because Author claims so, if you want to claim outerversal, create the story to support your claims

This Also goes for most video game claims, bruh, 2 characters fight each other in a forest like god of war, All we see is trees being broken, you can't claim they are MULTIVERSAL, like come on...

What do you think?

A normal person with the ability to slow down time vs. A world champion boxer

A regular person (18-40) with no boxing training is given the ability to slow down time (to any speed they choose). Their strength, reflexes, and overall athleticism stay the same.

Would they be able to beat a world champion boxer in their own weight class?

Iron Fist VS Captain Falcon. Who deals more damage with a single punch?

As the title says. Iron Fist and Captain Falcon meet at a bar and, after a couple drinks, get into an argument about the strength of their attacks - not enough to warrant actually coming to blows with each other, but enough to want a definitive answer.

So, they decide to settle it in a contest; some highly resilient superhuman who happens to be nearby (doesn't matter who, isn't really relevant to the scenario) agrees to take one full-strength punch from each person and decide which one hurts worse. Who does more damage?

Who would win in a Fight, MCU Scarlett Witch vs Jobu Tubaki?

Wanda has sensed a great power that she can obtain for herself hiding in the Multiverse so she uses her darkhold power to portal to the source, it was the Everything Bagel and Jobu. She wants to take her power and Jobu wants to take Wanda's because she thinks she's annoying and will kill her because of that.

Who will win this fight?

Magneto vs a boxer at point blank range

Lets say film version of magneto (roughly in his 70s); they're less than one meter apart in a bar; magneto spills a drink on the boxer and boxer starts throwing hands (it is not a sucker punch).

Boxer in his 30s; amateur level and has been boxing for 14 years. He weighs 180 5'10.

Both start standing; the crowd quickly disperses.

DBZ/DBS Earth residents vs Galaxy Planet

Goku, the Z fighters and the residents of planet Earth have to stop Galaxy Planet, a planet the size of the Earth, but has the combined heat and mass of a hundred billion stars each the mass of the sun. It's also light speed and is far away enough it would still take thirty minutes to reach the Earth. It can't collapse into a black hole because ki and magic rules.

Their goal is to either redirect the Galaxy Planet away from the Earth, push it away, or destroy it. Both villains and heroes are alive and at their peak for the respective saga stated, and would work together if only for their pride or desire to live (eg; Saiyan Saga has all Z fighters, Bulma, Vegeta, Nappa, the Saibamen, etc, and they all would work together. Same for the other Sagas)

Gods of Destruction, Angels and Zeno are not involved. Dragon Balls can't be used to affect the Galaxy Planet itself.

R1: Saiyan saga.

R2: Android saga.

R3: Buu saga.

R4: Resurrection of F

Bonus Round: Galaxy Planet's entire mass is transformed into ki and unleashed in the form of a large meteor-sized beam blast. Heat is still the same, but it would only affect entities making contact with it (if a person isn't hit, then they feel the typical heat of the day, but if they are hit, they get to experience the full heat of the Galaxy Planet. If the blast hit the ground, then the heat would naturally rise rapidly, but if not, then the Earth's temperature stays the same). The blast won't end until either the Galaxy Planet's entire ki/mass is spent, or the Earth is destroyed. Can all the characters from Dragon Ball to Resurrection F survive or push back long enough?

Bonus Round 2: could Moro absorb that much power? If so, how much power would he get by absorbing all that energy? Could he have won against Gas?

A US Aircraft Carrier and 2 Destroyers vs Every WWII Navy

The 3 US Warships are fully equipped, fueled sitting in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Vs

At their Peaks; the Navies of Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, the USSR and Imperial Japan. They don't get any more ships and are attacking. Their crews are bloodlusted and ships have infinite fuel.

The US Warships stay in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and a supply ship from the US with a Destroyer escort arrives every 5 days. The Opposing Navies start around their home ports, then go on the attack at the same time at the generally known enemy location.

1.5 year old lion cub vs a large 170lb male cougar in his prime

The lion cub wakes up only to find himself in the summer time of yellowstone national park he's 1.5 years old he's scared but also very curious he calls out to his pride but no response.

He thinks in the trees he sees another one of him, he let's out his little growl/roar to say hi and and tries to climb up to rub his face on his as show of affection. The cougar doesn't know what this animal is only that it looks like him but it's not like him and he's growling and trying to get up the tree. He decides to press the action and jumps down to meet his foe but the lion cub rolls out the way only getting a hard swipe to wake him up and realize this isnt playing its a real fight. The lion cub doesn't understand why this "other cub" wants to fight him but being an upcoming teenager he feels the urge to show him who's boss and happily engages him in combat.

Winner by death. 170lbs male cougar in his prime vs a 1.5 year old male lion, can the cub make the cougar understand why he's the future king of the beast or will the cougar beat this child in his place?

Somewhere on the Earth at random, drops a person out of a plane 1000 feet in the air. Can the Flash find and save them?

The Flash starts in NYC, where someone walks up to him and immediately convinces him that someone is falling out of a plane right now. Flash goes straight into action, but can't use any gadgets that'd give him info about where the person is.

It takes about 10 seconds to fall your first 1000 feet. Can the Flash circle the globe, find them, and rescue them from their fall in time?

What about 10 people?

What about 100 people?

This is "base" Flash with no prep time and no plan. Is 10 seconds long enough for him to pull out some Speed Force shenanigans and save the day, or does the Earth get one more human pancake?
