Our favorite robot boy is going to be fighting Megaman in the upcoming Death Battle.

I had heard about this. Never watched a Screwattack Death Battle but I'll probably check it out when it comes out.

I read through some of that forum. Got to page 46. I wasn't quite familiar with some of the lingo cuz this isn't something I'm into but there was some good points on either side. A lot of what I saw seemed to be mainly focused on Megaman though.

I don't know who would win.

I've seen a couple of these. Thought their Superman vs Goku was good but I have a feeling they're going to give this one to Mega Man but it's really hard to say. Especially since I hear people complain they tend to get details on characters wrong. Mind you, don't really want to see either of them killed XD

That's mostly from people who didn't like that their favorite lost. Most of those same people claim that Screwattack have a biased against Anime, which is just some butthurt fanboy garbage as there have been several Death Battles that were won by anime/manga characters.

That had better be ture :o That's the only reason I am watching at all. I know someone did a knockoff that I never finished watching in which Atom lost...

I don't know much about Megaman, tbh (other than it's one of THOSE platformers, and is considered to be rather difficult even amongst its own kind). But to be fair, what little I do know seems to stack the odds in his favor, no matter what iteration of Atom he's up against. I mean, Atom has some remarkable tenacity, but, idk.

Sometimes these kinds of things are decided by popularity. Idk if these are done that way, but it seems unlikely in this case.

If that was the case then Goku would have won his fight with Superman.

Hm, idk. The Boy Scout has a lot of fans, I reckon.

While they do certainly fudge their facts, I'm still certainly glad that Atom won. It was fun to watch, as well.

Beware the butt guns...

And hey I'm one of them but most fan fights I've seen between the two ended with people voting for Goku over Superman.

Good video! Obviously, not everyone is going to be pleased with the outcome of these videos (especially in this case with Mega Man arguably having a bigger fanbase than Astro Boy), but I thought the outcome made sense. Atom is a pretty tough and durable little guy.

Also, props to Screw Attack for using the Japanese names for the characters, even if they pronounced "Ochanomizu" wrong (they pronounced it Oh-kahn-oh-mee-zoo instead of Oh-chahn-oh-mee-zoo).

As for Goku vs. Superman, I will say that the outcome of that Death Battle made sense to me as well even being a huge fan of Dragon Ball. The other forum I frequently visit, Kanzenshuu (probably the most authoritative Dragon Ball site on the internet) helped by giving facts about Goku to Screw Attack for that Death Battle. I wasn't displeased with the outcome of that video because I know that Superman is incredibly strong, even as Post-Crisis Superman. The only reason people thought Goku would win is because he was the more popular character in the poll BBally mentioned and because he is incredibly strong to the point where he has battled almost evenly with a god. I like Goku and Dragon Ball more than Superman, but I believe Superman would beat Goku in a fight to the death. Just my opinion.
