"1. Make the fight fair: I see so many battles that just make me angry because the fights are not fair i dont care if the characters are relatable the fight has to be fair."

Okay, no. If they have connections, it's golden. Stomps CAN be enjoyable, for fuck's sake. I mean, we've had shit like Red and Zard VS Tai and Greymon, which was enjoyable but admittedly sad. You think I wasn't rooting for red, even though i knew he was fucked? Yeah, I was.

"2. Dont let your favorites get in the way: I see so many rediculous results in battles where they let there favorites win (one battle didnt even hide it having a poll with all the answers being the victor is cool) and even go so far as to not include the opponents most powerful feats, i know its hard to let your favs die by your hand and the workaround for this is to have a alternate ending."

Well, I mean sure DB fucks up. and admittidley they could have executed some DBs better (Mewtwo VS Shadow i'm looking at you.) Alternate endings are just like a way for the fans to feel good, dammit. Just no IMHO.

"3. Just beacause its a DEATH BATTLE doesnt mean DEATH has to be involved: What else am i supposed to say? its sad people let the DEATH overtake the BATTLE if realisticly the winner wouldnt kill the loser for example frisk from undertale goes against a goomba and frisk kills the goomba just because is a bad result with characters like frisk, steven universe, and spiderman realisticly if they won they would be hesitant to kill the opponent"

There's a fucking rule in DB, "All Killing Restraints are removed." I think you should have read that bucko. Also, neutral frisk says hello. Like yo, it just feels like you're angry just 'cause your favorite character lost. Like, they call it DEATH battle, not Friendly match. If you don't want a character you like dying, then take it to OMM or smth.

These are my 3 helpful tips to get you started on making amazing deathbattles im not an expert myself only having one WIP deathbattle i am smart enough to forsee these common flaws.
