User blog:AgentHoxton/AgentHoxton's Death Battles - Research Notes Blog

I've decided that I would probably be better off posting all research for my future battles under one single blog post as opposed to multiple ones on the Death Battle wiki. It would probably lead to a lot of spam blog posts by me doing that, so instead I've opted to just do my research here under one hug log of my Fanon Battle research. And of course, each part shall be sectioned off for each battle. So... yeah.

But same format as I used to on the DB Wiki, y'know?

(This will be for my battles from Season 2 onwards. You'll need to go to the Death Battle wiki for anything prior to that.)

History
A nurse-in-training prodigy of Planeptune, Compa first came across the legendary CPU Purple Heart (in human form, as Neptune) outside of her home by complete chance. She took her in and nursed her back to health, covering up her wounds, before discussing the recent events with her. After identifying that Neptune had amnesia, Compa agreed to help Neptune on her quest to fight monsters and the evils of Arfoire, and has stuck by her side ever since.

Compa has many moves to use when out in battle:

History
Amy Rose began her love for Sonic the Hedgehog having predicted her meet-up with her desired hero on the satellite of Little Planet using her tarot cards. She met the hedgehog in Palmtree Panic, but was subsequently captured by Dr. Eggman's then latest creation, Metal Sonic. She was taken to Stardust Speedway, where Sonic defeated his metal counterpart and rescued Amy, before proceeding to beat Eggman and free Little Planet from captivity. Since then, she had become Sonic's self-proclaimed girlfriend and has been following him ever since.

Feats

Advantages

 * Size advantage
 * Syringe is larger than Amy's hammer

 * Being stabbed by the syringe could prove fatal to Amy
 * Teratoxin could poison Amy and possibly kill her if weakened enough
 * Amy could easily be hurt by the energy bullets
 * Could heal herself in a tight spot
 * Large move set variety

Disadvantages

 * Slower
 * Not as much combat experience
 * Physically weaker
 * Amy's hammer could cause big damage early on

Advantages

 * Much, much faster
 * More aggressive
 * More combat experience
 * Phyiscally stronger
 * Amy's hammer could cause big damage early on

Disadvantages

 * Healing ability may not be on the same level as Compa's
 * Smaller
 * Syringe is longer than Amy's hammer
 * Being stabbed by the syringe could prove fatal to Amy
 * Teratoxin could poison Amy and possibly kill her if weakened enough
 * Amy could easily be hurt by the energy bullets

Who do I think would win?
Surprisingly, I'd actually say Compa takes it. Amy holds much more speed and power, but speed and power is only absolute, in this case. Besides, Amy is pretty small (in comparison to Compa, anyway) and so getting stabbed by that syringe of hers could actually do some pretty nasty damage in conjunction with the Teratoxin. Not to mention it wouldn't be much different from when Compa combats monsters with her friends. It's not out of the question, really, given what Compa's abilities are across the games - Yoshi VS Riptor happened, after all.

And I say this having gone into the research thinking Amy was the one going to win. Just goes to show how much research can change your views on things. Not to mention I learned a lot about the combatants (and some were TMI in the case of Amy x_X)

Do you agree with this research and my predictions for Compa vs. Amy Rose? Yes No Not sure

Who do I think would win?
Chains. Apologies to GTA fans, but I honestly cannot see Franklin winning this match. Even if it was Vanilla!Franklin VS Vanilla!Chains, Chains would definitely hold the advantage ball due to his experience and possibly even superior mobility. Franklin's only chance of getting an advantage is to steal a car and use it for drive-by shootings, which would help in any situation other than this one. Chains just trumps him in strength, weaponry and durability, and that will be what decides it here.

History
Peter Quill was born during an unusual astronomical phenomenon when many of the planets aligned. The man who claimed to be Peter's father accused his wife of infidelity and tried to kill him at a young age, thinking the phenomenon as nothing, but died of a heart attack before he could do so. One day, he and his mother encountered a light where two aliens emerged, killing Peter's mother and attempted to kill Peter in an attempt to "end the Spartoi bloodline". However, Peter was able to kill them and recover a strange device before escaping his home as the alien ships destroyed it. After being put in an orphanage (and promptly escaping), he became a NASA trainee astronaut. An entity known as the Master of the Sun visited the space station that Peter and his other partners were inhabiting, offering the role of Star-Lord to a worthy candidate. Quill had signed up an offer, but was rejected in favour of a colleague of his that he treated badly. Enraged, Peter disobeyed NASA's orders, stealing a scoutship and returning to the space station to take his colleague's place, and took up the mantle of Star-Lord.

After she awakens, she finds that her village has been ravaged by the spirits, even having her son being possessed by the spirit of Wrath.

Who do I think would win?
I don't know at the moment. The research seems to lean towards Star-Lord a bit more, but it's uncertain exactly how much of a lead he has over Pandora. I'm going to refrain from making the battle until a verdict can be decided. Let me know in the comments below on who would win between these two, and why. And it must be backed up with evidence where possible.

EDIT: I think that, now, I'm willing to give the implications from research the benefit of the doubt and say that Star-Lord would win. He has superior strength, agility and better defensive ability. His arsenal also has more overall destructive force behind it. Some of Pandora's arsenal alongside her teleportation is her only saving graces. Apart from that... yeah.

Do you agree with this research and my predictions for Star-Lord vs. Pandora? Yes No Not sure

He was seeking a new job when he came across the library of Merasmus the Magician. He unknowingly opened the Bombinomicon, which would have posessed him had Merasmus not stepped in, though the Demoman's eye was lost in a magical spell in order to keep the book in check.

 * Lack of depth perception

Who do I think would win?
On the one hand, you have Charlie, who is great at close-quarters combat but not so great at long range. He is great at strategizing and utilizing attacks well, but is not so great at keeping himself at his strategy and can sometimes be reckless. And when his emotions get the better of him, he loses the edge. On the other hand, you have the Demoman, where long-range combat with his Grenade and Sticky Launchers is his bread and butter, but can still fight up close if needs be. He is excellent at destructive play and can even set up sneaky traps if given the opportunity, but he isn't the best at close range combat and suffers from alcoholism, though I don't see that playing a huge enough part in this fight to change the outcome.

Speaking of outcome, it seems like Charlie's the superior close-range fighter... but the Demoman takes it, for me. Though it would probably take something like a trap to take Charlie down. The problem Charlie has is that he doesn't really have many ways to take the Demoman down for good, and even if he did, the Demoman would probably not let him do it. Not to mention that the Demoman has BOMBS. The only thing that I can see matching that is either the Sonic Boom or Sonic Break, which the Demoman could be able to avoid for the most part.

The classic short-versus-long-range fight here, but I think long range edges out and the Demoman wins. Even with his alcoholism and his one eye, he's more destructive and is able to keep up with Charlie. Though he's got the inferior fighting style, his equipment more than makes up for his weaknesses.

Do you agree with this research and my predictions for Charlie Nash vs. The Demoman? Yes No Not sure

History
Born to parents with superior intellectual genes, Albert and many other children were brought into the Umbrella Corporation's Wesker children project. Albert was shown to have a lot more promise over the other children in the project. Soon he would join the Umbrella Corporation as one of their key researchers, and even aided Chris Redfield and his allies in their goals. However, once he injected himself with the Prototype Virus, his humanity was drained and he began to lose control more than every before. With this, he set out on his goal to turn the human race into superhumans, and rule over them as a god.

Death Battle Info
Without taking into account what he got injected by, Wesker has his handgun on hand:
 * Age: About 49 years old
 * Height: 6'3" / 190 cm
 * Weight: 198 lbs / 90 kg
 * Occupation: Former Umbrella Corporation researcher
 * Injected with Prototype Virus and others
 * Wears cool sunglasses

Beretta 92F Custom "Samurai Edge"
But once Wesker injected himself with the Prototype Virus, everything began to change... he managed to become a superhuman. How? Well, as the Resident Evil Wiki's entry on Wesker puts it:
 * Magazine Capacity: At least 13 rounds
 * Ammunition: 9x19mm Parabellum
 * Made under specific requirements
 * Laser Aiming Module attached to frame

"...he possessed a special blood type, which largely acted as the reason why he was able to not only survive being injected with foreign substances such as the Prototype virus and later Uroboros, but also reap in all the benefits of the virus and none of the drawbacks."

Basically, he gained a lot of benefits from injecting himself with the Prototype Virus:

Prototype Virus
This also affected his body...
 * Superhuman strength
 * Hyper-accelerated speed
 * Superhuman agility
 * Extremely fast reflexes
 * Superhuman endurance

Who do I think would win?
Although Wesker appears much more powerful here, the winner between Vader and Wesker depends on two important factors - How much Wesker's skin can resist Vader's lightsaber, and how much resistance Wesker has against Vader's abilities with the dark side of The Force. I can see Wesker's skin being able to resist Vader's lightsaber for the most part, though it would definitely wittle down his defences even with his minor healing factor. Which leaves the question: '''How much resistance could Wesker's hardened organs have against Vader's telekinetic crushing? '''If Wesker could survive that, then I'd see Wesker winning. Otherwise, I'd say Vader would win.

And currently, the latter seems more likely. Love ya, Wesker, but the Sith Lord takes this one, I feel.

History
Monsoon is a former gang member whose childhood was revolved from the Cambodian Genocide. He joined an organised crime syndicate where it was rumoured he was involved in drug trades and human trafficking. He also gained skills in using sai, and far outranked other gang members. After being caught in a gang shootout and mortally wounded, his body was cyberneticized and gained magnetic properties, and from there he joined the Desperado Enforcement LLC.

Death Battle Info
He has twe sets of weapons of choice:
 * Height: 6'7" / 202 cm
 * Weight: Unknown
 * Occupation: Mercenary
 * Member of Desperado Enforcement LLC
 * Presumably wanted to enforce "full of shit" as a meme
 * Unknown facial features

Dystopia

 * Twin sai
 * Dagger-like truncheon
 * Used against swords
 * Primarily offensive
 * Traps and controls an opponents weapons
 * For stabbing, not slicing
 * Enhanced via magnetic fields

Red Phosporous Grenades
But his deadliest attributes stem from his magnetic abilities:
 * Used to disorient foes
 * Allows Monsoon to attack at multiple angles

Magnetism

 * Cyborg chassis held together by powerful electromagnetic forces
 * Powered by a generator
 * Allows picking up of large objects or objects with traces of metal in them
 * Pulls segments of his body apart
 * High maneuverability
 * Striking the generator will cut the electromagnetic forces

Feats

 * Able to hold his own against Raiden's Ripper state
 * Survived the events of the Khmer Rouge's rule
 * Able to avoid sword slashes for the most part
 * Unleashed Raiden's true colours
 * Picked up tanks and helicopters with electromagnetism

 * Lost to and killed by Raiden's Ripper state
 * Susceptible to EMP grenades
 * Can be disabled if the generator is hit

Advantages

 * Physically stronger
 * Fast and agile enough to keep up
 * Larger arsenal
 * High chance for Deathstroke to hit Monsoon's generator
 * Healing factor will help in the fight

Disadvantages

 * Monsoon's electromagnetic abilities could make it hard to reach him
 * Could be overwhelmed if Monsoon throws a lot of objects at him at once
 * Slower

Advantages

 * Faster and more agile
 * Monsoon's electromagnetic abilities could make it hard for Deathstroke to reach him
 * Could overwhelm Deathstroke if he throws a lot of objects at him at once
 * More elusive
 * Red phosporous grenades could help distract Deathstroke

Disadvantages

 * Physically weaker
 * Smaller arsenal
 * High chance for Deathstroke to hit Monsoon's generator

Who do I think would win?
Deathstroke. His arsenal and abilities definitely trumps anything that Monsoon could throw at him and his armour would help him hold out against most of Monsoon's attacks, even if Monsoon's sai could disarm or break his sword. His magnetic powers are the only thing that will keep Monsoon in this match, but if Deathstroke hits his generator, he could easily damage him or kill him if weakened enough. Monsoon would give him a good fight, but Deathstroke would win, ultimately.

S2E07: Kenpachi Zaraki VS Sol Badguy
(Shoutout to Shadow7615 on the Kenpachi info - he's been a major help with me understanding his abilities.)

History
Kenpachi Zaraki is the current Captain of the 11th Division, and the eleventh Kenpachi to be in this position. He spends his time in combat with a ruthless edge, though his intentions are usually for the best.

Death Battle Info
Being a Soul, Kenpachi has some pretty insane abilities: Kenpachi wields a Zanpakutō named Nozarashi, which he uses for most of his attacks.
 * Age: Unknown
 * Height: 6’6” / 202cm
 * Weight: 198 lbs / 90 kg
 * Race: Human/Soul
 * Captain of Gotei 13’s 11th Division
 * Awesome hairstyle
 * Master Swordsman
 * Hand-to-Hand Expert
 * Immense Spiritual Energy
 * Immense Strength
 * Immense Speed
 * Immense Endurace
 * Immense Durability

Nozarashi
Kenpachi also uses multiple abilities while in battle...
 * Kenpachi's Zanpakutō
 * Utilizes the Shikai Release
 * Initial Form looks identical to a Katana.

Kendo

 * Initially used as a Last Resort
 * Is commonly used to cut Opponents in half

Reiatsu

 * Kenpachi possesses Unholy Control of his Reiatsu
 * Kenpachi's Reiatsu is far above standard levels
 * Can be manipulated through Shock Waves, Energy Waves, etc

Eyepatch Power Seal

 * Used to seal a bulk of Kenpachi's Reiatsu
 * Doesn't actually hinder Kenpachi
 * Can be removed at any time

Feats

 * Very deceptive
 * Can carry 3 corpses without effort
 * Can catch opponent's weapons with a single hand
 * Has speed and strength on par with refined Masters
 * Bifurcated Giriko is a single swing of his sword
 * Survived Impalement, Near Beheading & Severe Wounds

Faults

 * Never achieved Bankai Release of Nozarashi
 * Never chose to learn Shunpo and Kidō
 * Defeated by Yhwach
 * Poor Sense of Direction

Death Battle Info
Sol and his blade, Fire Seal, has a good variety of moves...
 * 6'0"/184 cm
 * 163 lbs/74 kg
 * Real Name: Frederick
 * Alias: Haitoku no Honoo [Flame of Corruption]
 * Favourite band: Queen
 * Ironically Guilty Gear's protagonist, despite the name
 * Has a degree in particle physics

Move Set

 * Gun Flame
 * Shoots fire projectiles from the ground
 * Commonly mistaken for "girlfriend" when called out
 * Bandit Revolver
 * A forward-moving spinning attack
 * Riot Stamp
 * Springs off the wall and flies in foot-first
 * Volcanic Viper
 * Leaps upward, slashing with his sword
 * Dragon Install
 * Temporary enhances speed and power

Feats

 * Completely incinerated a huge Gear with a fraction of his power
 * Survived witnessing his past self die
 * Actual reason given: because he's Sol Badguy
 * Outran a missile and hung onto it with just his fist
 * Endured the soul-destroying atmosphere of The Backyard
 * Once stabbed through the shoulder, then used that same arm to swing his sword seconds later

Faults

 * Underestimates his opponents
 * Laziness?

Advantages

 * Stronger in base form in hand-to-hand combat
 * Nozarashi is equal if not superior to Fire Seal
 * Kendo and Ryodan would instantly kill Sol if needed
 * Faster
 * Reiatsu will help immensely during the fight
 * Taking off his eyepatch to unleash his power could help fend off Sol if he uses Dragon Install or uses his Gear Form

Disadvantages

 * Sol's durability is akin to that of Kenpachi's
 * Gear Form could overwhelm Kenpachi even at full power
 * Could easily underestimate Sol at first

Advantages

 * Strong and fast enough to keep up
 * Skills with Fire Seal could match Kenpachi's swordplay
 * Gear Form could overwhelm Kenpachi even at full power
 * May be able to counter smaller energy waves (or just avoid them)
 * Full power could destroy Kenpachi if Sol were to unleash it

Disadvantages
Who do I think would win?
 * Kenpachi's durability is akin to that of Sol's
 * Not too proficient in hand-to-hand combat
 * Kenpachi could catch Fire Seal in set situations
 * Has no equivalent of Kenpachi's Reiatsu
 * Could easily underestimate Kenpachi at first
 * Kendo and Ryodan would instantly kill Sol if needed

This is a very close match, and Kenpachi edges out against Sol in base form. However, what would it mean when Sol uses Dragon Install? Or unleashes his Gear Form? That would mean Sol would most likely overtake Kenpachi's base form. So it's 1-1. The deciding factor is Kenpachi with his eyepatch removed against Sol's Gear Form - their strongest known forms. And since Sol Badguy completely incinerated a Gear the size of Mt. Everest with only a fraction of his power, I'm inclined to say that after a very close match (and quite a number of transformations) that Sol Badguy would be the eventual winner.

One thing's for certain, though - this will be a match to remember.
