So, after some discussion, a new set of rules has been established when it comes to Versus topics that should hopefully help some areas of discussion to become less stale or make specifications easier.
1. No overly one-sided matchups - Pretty evident. There's not much to discuss for a matchup...
Let's say that each time an attack with the power and intent to completely destroy a planet was released, it sent the individual at the centre of it back in time by the same amount as Bardock was. For clarification, this is only for attacks intended to destroy the planet and not the general...
There's no denying that after the timeskip, most of the main cast have become pretty bland, underutilised or disappointing compared to their past selves. That said, which would you say has been the most egregious?
I'd say Luffy without a doubt takes the cake. Having been completely defeated on...
Let's say you were given the chance to create a single story arc to help salvage the series' quality somewhat. What would be the premise and how would you execute it?
A few rules:
- You can't ignore or retcon the previous events in Super and the arc should include some of the plot points Super...
The most iconic Jump villains are brought together in a battle royale to see who remains supreme:
Freeza (Dragon Ball)
Post-Marineford Blackbeard (One Piece)
Rikudo Sennin Madara (Naruto)
Part 1 Shikai Aizen (Bleach)
Peak Raoh (Hokuto no Ken)
Part 3 DIO (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)
Gemini Saga...
Due to time travel shenanigans, Thanos encounters some heroes on Titan as he did in Infinity War. Whilst the versions of Iron Man and Dr. Strange from that time are present, there are a few more replacing the Guardians of the Galaxy. Those are:
Awakened Thor (Ragnarok)
Professor Hulk/Green Chad...
Many would take Trunks' speculation on Vegeta's actions as fact, but should we really? Even ignoring that Trunks is far from the best judge of fighting, Vegeta not using it seems inconsistent with what he's shown prior when backed into a corner. Against Goku and Freeza, his first course of...
And ended the series within 5 years as he originally planned, going purely with the ideas already outlined and cutting out any he thought of along the way, how would that affect the series for you?
"I was going to finish ONE PIECE within 5 years. Every crew joins before Grand Line. (1- 1.5...
Boo from the most recent chapter of the manga runs the gauntlet. The battle takes place on the ToP stage with ToP rules. Manga versions of all characters, obviously. His opponents are all aware of his chocolate beam and any prior knowledge they may have on him, whereas Boo has no intel he...
100% Freeza

Pui Pui

Dabura
FP Perfect Cell
Post yours.
Totally not a combination of several hot topics of power debate in the Boo Arc rolled into one.
Couldn't think of a better thread as part of SSJ's challenge, so...
After the Freeza Arc, the humans became pretty much background decoration as fighters. How would you prevent this?
A few ideas:
* Limit the powerscaling - Pretty simple. You want to avoid them being swallowed into irrelevancy by power creep, don't have power creep in the first place and find a...
Not counting Beerus since he wasn't really a "villain" per se, which villain would you say was the best, or least worst, out of the 1-dimensional baddies who've had their 40-60 minutes of fame?
I'd probably say Garlic Jr. His goal being to avenge his father and gain what he believed his father...
If you took some of the general plot points of DBO, be it the main story or the lore, and used that as the basis for rewriting Super's anime, would you have found Super to be better?
I for one would much prefer the background history of DBO as the start of the series. It'd remove the general...
In this scenario, Goku was the one who died, Kuririn fought Daimao and was left almost dead before being brought to Karin-to and enduring the Choshinsui. Kuririn gets the same boost as Goku did and Daimao can't power up beyond his initial prime level. Kuririn also has access to the dark Kinto'Un...
Let's say the mystery of his introduction remains such with Cell not completely dropping the ball in telling Piccolo everything and instead said nothing before his retreat. The Z-Warriors have no idea what this creature is or how to combat him. How would events transpire now?
At Marineford, Jimbei was hyped up and portrayed as being pretty high tier, being stated to have been an equal to Ace and managing to block and endure an attack from Akainu with the full intent of killing Luffy. On Fishman Island, he tied with Gear 2nd Luffy and the fight with Wadatsumi...
One Piece VS Hunter X Hunter match up
Enies Lobby versions of Luffy, Zoro and Sanji. All of them start off in their upgraded states (Gear 2nd, Asura and Diable Jambe), with Luffy being able to use Gear 3rd if necessary and its weakness still applying. The Royal Guards have no prep time and...
In this scenario, Kuririn collected the Nyoibo and Dragon Ball before watching the finals. Tambourine instead only steals the Budokai contestant list, with the gang finding the Mazoku symbol and Roshi informing them of Piccolo Daimao. With Goku not rushing off and Kuririn still alive, how does...
