User blog comment:Supersonicstyle13/Top 10 Worst Death Battle Episodes/@comment-2218433-20200109125850

I will say this, I don't agree with Sephiroth VS Vergil being on here. The argument that it's "flat out wrong" seems like a product of the battle being outdated. Given the 6 month gap between Sephiroth VS Vergil and the announcement of Devil May Cry 5.

Also, the claim that "very little thought was put into this fight" is questionable, it certainly seems to me that they needed to do the research to understand certain aspects relevant to the fight, such as how Supernova works. I don't think you could just gloss over that, and then have it be an element in the Death Battle.

Plus, they clearly had to take into consideration that there were several feats for Vergil through the use of slow-motion to depict the absurdity of his strength and speed. I'm sure that required at least some thought.
