What are my least favorite Death Battle episodes? (Seasons 1-7)

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, now it's time to rip Wiz and Boomstick a new one. I will be presenting each season lists with my least favorite episodes. The ones I really didn't like I'm going to fully rip loose on near the end. You need to see each lists first before then. Otherwise going straight to it will likely cause confusion.


Season 1

Justin Bieber vs Rebecca Black (I know it's a joke fight but still don't like it very much)


Season 2

Pokemon Battle Royale

Kirby vs Majin Buu

Goku vs Superman rematch


Season 3

Bowser vs Ganon

Mewtwo vs Shadow

Meta vs Carolina (Not a fan of Red vs Blue show)

Tracer vs Scout (a little too soon to use Overwatch at that time)

Deadpool vs Pinkie Pie


Season 4

Scrooge McDuck vs Shovel Knight

Android 18 vs Captain Marvel


Season 5

Black Panther vs Batman

Sora vs Pit

Ryu vs Jin (I'm still upset by this episode guys)


Season 6

Mega Man Battle Royale

Black Widow vs. Widowmaker

Aang vs Edward Elric

Mob vs Tatsumaki

All Might vs Might Guy


Season 7

Black Canary vs Sindel

Leonardo vs Red Ranger

Zuko vs Shoto Todoroki

Red vs Blue

Batgirl vs Spider-Gwen


I would say Batgirl vs. Spider-Gwen likely the best of the worst fights I chosen here. There's no point talking about why I don't like either Red vs Blue episodes. But there's a few particular episodes I'm personally not happy with. You could even say I'll become like AVGN ripping them a part. These are the episodes that are to me bottom of the barrel.

There's also no point talking about Justin vs Rebecca episode. It was created as a joke of course the animation was going to be done terribly on purpose. I am not a fan of any those celebrities featured in the fight animation. Alright, it's time to show the world the episodes that really sucks the most balls here.


Goku vs Superman rematch

I can understand doing this fight the first time. No one really given an definitive answer to the biggest fight debate question on history of the internet. Until this particular season finale of Death Battle. I actually felt the entire episode was beautifully done. I have reasons to not include it among my favorite episodes.

But was it necessary to doing a follow up fight? Sure, Goku gets to use his newer god transformations. At the same time, he still loses surprisingly easily to the Man of Steel. I recently heard, a lot of people are demanding for a round 3. Why waste what could've been a great episode? This is a fight no matter what gets added, Goku just can't compete with Superman, I'm sorry folks.


Mewtwo vs Shadow

Obviously not as good as Shadow's previous episode. Also, was it so necessary to kill Shadow off with a giant spoon? I really don't like this episode overall. They heavily played on Shadow's mind being easy to remove memories from. I am not questioning what Mewtwo himself could do. After all, he still is one of the most unique pokemons ever in existence.

This is easily the worst among Nintendo vs Sega episodes. The information could've been done better. The fight animation was garbage to me. This episode is just incredibly poorly made in my opinion. Even the joke bonus episode Mewtwo vs Vegeta was way better than this. This is one of the absolutely worst episodes they ever done period.


Scrooge McDuck vs Shovel Knight

I have a lot of problems with this particular episode. We have a recent game character going against an old comic strip character. He actually dates back to 1947 which is really not fair in this fight. He had more than enough to easily win this fight. Shovel Knight should've fought someone else than this spoiled, old, rich duck prick.

What really doesn't help the situation is many classic comic strips from that era have characters doing ridiculous things with ease. This also includes The Looney Tunes characters as well. My point is this duck was very broken as a character capable of virtually doing anything he wants. It wouldn't even matter if Shovel Knight had a super armor or some kind of transformation, he still loses.


Ryu vs Jin

I am very unhappy with how they went about this particular fight. This is a fight that didn't need any form of scaling. But of course, Ryu had to scale to Akuma!!! There's an ending in a Tekken game that confirmed the devil genes' potential was stated to be limitless. I wonder why something like this was missed?

Even so, anyone having these genes was stated to be ten times stronger than a normal human. It is true, Jin doesn't maintain control in his devil form. Oh okay, I don't question Jin didn't have a counter for that one move to wipe out evil. The animation was mostly solid, I'll give them that. But I just felt the entire unnecessary scaling make this episode come off bias.

My point is Jin was one of the most powerful beings in his universe. It is true that he has half that power with his father having the other half. Even half that power likely took Ogre down. Ryu's heavily depended on using ki should've got explained a bit better. He was more likely going to run out first. I also don't question Ryu had more experience as well as training under belt.


Mega Man Battle Royale

Honestly, it should be obvious what my main problem with this episode is going to be. We have fight different Mega Man characters facing each other. On paper, that concept sounds awesome. But in execution, it quickly becomes heavily unbalanced. They made it clear, two of them are simply way too powerful for three of them to handle.

It's hard to believe a digital Mega Man ended up winning that fight. Let's be honest, classic Mega Man had more of a chance against Astro Boy. Well know by now he also loss that fight. I think a proper battle royale was TMNT and Pokemon in comparison. At least, all the fights were near equals to each other.

Thus any one of them could've won that fight. But here, MegaMan.EXE had too much of an advantage. Honestly, this episode just felt like a waste of an episode to me. I will be honest, I didn't even look much into it while waiting for the episode. It was that level of boring to me. We do need more Mega Man fights but with plenty other characters.


Aang vs Edward Elric

I do agree with their results but let's be honest they just wanted to give Aang an guarantee victory. Originally, he was close of facing Luke Skywalker before he ended up getting replaced by Harry Potter. These two didn't actually have much in common. I could understand putting Aang against Captain Planet.

Sure he would've loss that fight but both of them represent the spirit of the world including mostly the same elements. Also, Edward himself should've fought Joseph Joestar. Now that fight would've been more entertaining than this. This is just one of those fights it easily could've been better with the right characters.

Instead we were given a mismatch that seem to be done on purpose in favor of Aang. Yes, Wiz and Boomstick I am personally calling you out. Now going back to Captain Planet fight, that would've gotten more epic than this in comparison. Even I knew as a FMA fan, Edward was going to lose badly here.

What are my favorite Death Battle episodes? (Seasons 1-7)

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, I think it's time to do a blog on what my favorite Death Battle episodes are. But I also plan on making my least favorite Death Battle episodes blog as well. I figured that way you'll get a better idea what I like as well how I view things in the long run. Also limiting it to a Top 10 would be too much trouble here.

Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Kakashi

Flash vs Sonic

Crona vs Venom

Sabrewulf vs Jon Talbain

Most of these almost everyone on the internet already said things I would've said on them myself. So I will leave it with this. Most of these are virtually timeless classics. You can tell when they really put all their hard work in among majority of these choices. Sadly for the flip side, I will be harsh about the ones I really did not like.

There's something Dragon Ball fans needs to know

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, rather than letting Death Battle to tell you the bad news tomorrow. Also considering we just had Christmas, mine was excellent thanks for asking. I figured to reveal something that isn't going to necessary sit well with you. Something that kinda makes the entire episode come off as a means to upset the fan base.

A few weeks after I wrote my best arguments why Hulk would win against Broly (DBS) blog. A friend pointed out something so huge I missed. But in the way some of you are thinking. It turned out a year ago, Marvel comics introduced an concept called the Green Door. Now not everything about it is fully revealed.

What we do know is people like Hulk has a connection to it through out the entire multiverse. Hulk can instantly return back to life after death through this. Which means even completely destroying Hulk will no longer give Broly the win in this fight. The perfect example being Scorpion from Mortal Kombat series.

The only way to truly kill Scorpion is destroy his soul. Which also ended up being the case for DC's Lobo. Hulk may even return stronger than he was before. Another critical fact I didn't notice at first but did get pointed out to me by a friend was Devil Hulk. I recall saying he's more of a mental threat. There's some truth to that yes.

Devil Hulk not only has all of Hulk's powers. He also has some of his own that makes him taking control much worse for Broly. For starters, Hulk's personality may differ that will affect how much intelligence he has. Devil Hulk is representing his dark side. Thus, one of his advantages over Hulk is having the human's side intelligence.

Which is a huge advantage since Dr. Banner so happens to be one of the smartest humans on Earth. Devil Hulk also has increased stats from regular Hulk as well as manipulating rocks. Which may or may not get use in the episode due to being from The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction game. Devil Hulk is a major game changer as well.

This side also affected by the Green Door as well. He is clever enough to use it like someone similar to Hulk once did to absorb gamma radiation from others to making himself more powerful. In theory, if Devil Hulk pulls this off, he potentially a lot more powerful than a fully composite Broly even if Kale got added to the mix.

So that would make him a case similar to Sephiroth from Final Fantasy series. Where his magic is directly using the life force of the planet. To sum it up, he has a virtually endless source of energy on his side. It is likely Devil Hulk could suddenly follow under that as well. Now I am not making this to add salt.

Believe it or not, you guys and gals have the right to know. Death Battle decided to pull an essentially rigged fight for their season finale this year. Which isn't fair to you all, I may have my differences from the fan base. At least, I was willing enough to reveal real information about the character. I knew wasn't going to sit well with all of you here.

Jack Red reviews Resident Evil 3 remake (2020)

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, finally a great enough deal for RE3 remake happened. I bought it on Xbox One to complete my Resident Evil Xbox One collection. Including Xbox 360 port of Resident Evil - Code: Veronica X is twelve Resident Evil games for that console alone. Sadly today's review is just the main game, I ran out of gold a little before I got both games.

At a later date not specify as of this time, I'll get some gold time to play Resident Evil: Resistance. For now it's time to complete the remake trilogy reviews. I actually got a lot to say about the game itself. I always been a huge Resident Evil fan since my child hood. Yes, I heard about two new Resident Evil shows coming in the near future as well.

Resident Evil 3 remake is a modern take on a classic late 90s PS1 game. Like RE2 remake, the game is vastly different. Honestly, not to piss off Capcom themselves but I didn't like how they went about this. Clearly they rushed right in making the game. Which does mirror what originally happened with RE3 following RE2 on PS1 many years ago.

I really felt they were going to add more stuff story wise to the game. They did change parts of how the story plays out. A few parts of it I did like such as Jill has to escape from her home following an ambush by Nemesis. I also liked they given us more sections to play as Carlos. Which if you know exactly what to do it does go by fast.

You know what else goes by fast in this game? The final section of the game it actually shorter than the final area of RE2 remake. Now we all knew even before Capcom confirmed it in an statement that the game was going to be shorter. Originally RE3 was shorter than RE2 just comparing one of four scenarios. It isn't much different for the newer versions.

I kinda liked this game's Jill but I still prefer the classic Jill way more. I came to like Carlos more than I originally did. I do liked Mikhail was given a bigger role. I even loved we briefly get to see Robert Kendo later on. Obviously, the game looks & sounds absolutely amazing. Maybe it's just me but the turning does need a little work.

They removed a lot of enemies from the original game. Such as Crows, Spiders, Brain Suckers, Sliding Worms and Grave Digger. They added Pale Heads and NE-a Parasite Zombies. At one point, you can come across an Licker in the police station as Carlos. Now I went into this expecting more puzzles. But what I ended finding instead is a handful of puzzles, even RE7 had more puzzles than this.

The cast did a great job voicing the characters. Dario was given a smaller role. Well he didn't have much to begin with. Originally, you see him twice with the later being killed by an zombie. However, we don't get to see what happens to him in the remake version. It is very likely he got himself killed by zombies. They made some enemies exclusive to some areas.

Which does took away from the overall experience. This wasn't an issue in RE1 or RE2 remakes respectively. Like turn on the power in order to set up a route. You must navigate through an area filled with Drain Deimos. They don't appear anywhere else in the game. Mostly in the sewers with a handful in different locations is Hunter Gammas.

Now I have to give Capcom credit, they made these things actually terrifying. They originally looked a little more humanoid. I liked the newer version looks more like an abomination that's difficult to look at. Also, they remove it's normal clawing attack to just an instant death move. They somehow made Hunter Betas look awesome in this version.

They are mostly exclusive to the hospital with one section in the final area has a room of containers being an exception. There is barely any Zombie Dogs this time around. There's just enough of them in RE2 remake. So I felt when I do see one or two of them a few times they're easy to deal with. One of my biggest problems should be quite obvious by now.

They decided to make Nemesis the only boss monster in the entire game. Originally Nemesis was majority of the boss fights. But two of them were Grave Digger's. For those that didn't play either version of RE3 or The Umbrella Chronicles. Grave Digger is a giant worm boss. Which was a precursor to Gulp Worm in Code: Veronica X.

Some of the boss fights doesn't have much to differ em. The final boss, I'll say it now was even more disappointing than Eveline at the end of RE7. There's also no mini games at all in this version of RE3. The reason being Resident Evil: Resistance is included with every purchase of RE3 remake. It doesn't help that game is getting updated & dlcs.

Well oh okay it doesn't have many dlcs itself. But it still disappointing especially compared to RE2 remake. Both games got the option to buy all unlockables. Keep in mind for RE2 remake, it doesn't include The Ghost Survivors mode. Which means you could start playing without having to unlock the hidden weapons & other unlockables.

The pre order deals are even a major gap. You virtually got a great set up for RE2's pre order. But RE3 only given you a costume set with Carlos' classic costume doesn't seem to be in the game anymore. The last thing added to that deal was buying Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. Really, Capcom why would anyone want to pre order it if they're force to get a movie that bad.

Story wise stuff like the gas station, a train and the police station happens at different times. They actually made exploring both the police station & the hospital shorter than it originally was. Originally, as Jill you have two options that will lead to you getting inside the police station. You could run away from Nemesis to find Jill's S. T. A. R. S. ID or defeat Nemesis to get Brad's S. T. A. R. S. ID instead.

Either ID cards eventually leads to getting inside the S. T. A. R. S. office. You can collect stuff while having to listen to an transmission. From that point leave the police station with Nemesis stalking you. They changed it to simply getting a key to unlock the S. T. A. R. S. office. You also can collect stuff but going out the door you entered from ends Carlos' first playable section.

It kinda is disappointing they made the police station this forgettable all of a sudden. Not even a Licker is enough to make up for that. The hospital is more about finding an cure for Jill. Which ends with Carlos fighting off zombies and a few Hunter Betas. Thankfully, unlike a handful of things in the original game is randomized.

There is none of that this time around. I think if we were given the option to spice it up by switching item & weapon placements would've made it more replayable in the long run. I also must give RE2 remake credit for including as a dlc the classic soundtrack. They later added in two free PS1 model skin costumes.

They do get criticize by people but I loved having em. Jill does get her classic S. T. A. R. S. outfit. But sadly, she doesn't have as close as many outfits she originally did. Now I know some ports of RE3 had a a few more outfits. My point is Jill now only has two outfits in the entire game. Even RE2 remake or the newer version of RE1 remake had more outfits.

You know what let's go a little further, RE0 did mostly add shirts for Rebecca. But they also added some of her outfits from a couple Resident Evil games. Billy was also given two Capcom character reference costumes as well. So I felt even RE0 went the distance with the outfits here. Honestly, RE3 remake did cut down a bit from Nemesis stalking you.

In this particular case, it's both a good and bad thing. The good part is you can take a lot of the game a bit easier knowing Nemesis won't be chasing you. The bad part is there are some good parts of it. It just felt like they were trying to recreate Ustanak. Even he was stalking Jake way better than Jill here. I could go as far to say when I was being stalked by Mr. X, I knew I had to prepare for what's coming.

I do agree Nemesis is trickier to avoid. He is notably tougher than Mr. X. His usage of weapons can differ from time to time. I loved Nemesis' new look a lot, I still prefer his classic look more. I didn't like Jill's new look as much however. To me, that wasn't Jill Valentine. Well excuse me for being a fan boy here.

Resident Evil 3 remake does have the shop option like in the original game. But unlike the original RE3, you get points from the main game. Oh okay for me that's a good improvement. The Mercenaries Operation: Mad Jackal can be unforgiving at times. They didn't seem to change up the zombies much. I will be honest this remake didn't do the original game justice.

They clearly just wanted to get it out the way to do a few more remakes among some of their classics. At least, they did a good job with the achievements/trophies. Yes, it is a still a little disappointing it is a smaller amount than those of RE2 remake. They did make it easier to travel around the maps. Which could be frustrating at times in the original game.

Like Chief Irons in RE2 remake, Nicholai doesn't hide how much of a prick he truly is. Unlike most Resident Evil games, it doesn't end with a final boss fight. Oh no they had to go out of their way to do something different. Sadly, what ends up happening is not long after killing Nemesis off. You'll make it to the roof top, Nicholai holding Carlos as a hostage.

You just need to shoot at him then the game is finally over. I can't argue they needed to do something different. But this wasn't the best way of ending the game guys. Now if Nicholai would've fallen through the floor that's so happens to be where Nemesis is. Then Jill fires the rail gun while it's in Nemesis' mouth killing both of them would've been sick.

I am not trying to say this game lacks depth. In a sense it does for a surprisingly lacking replayable value or the fact Resistance got the support it should've gotten. This remake was clearly given the bad end of the stick. There's a lot of Resident Evil fans who aren't happy with the game. Especially imagine the anger in those who loved RE3 more than the other games felt.

Personally, I do like the game itself. Sadly, changes to the story kinda made it more of it's own game than what it was suppose to do. Now I know how remakes works. They have to modernize a classic in a couple of times. Such as the events took place in a different year sometimes that may affect the location where it originally happened.

Some classic characters gets written differently that won't be familiar to the fans of the old versions. My point is this game to me felt more like an expansion pack to RE2 remake than it's own game. The overall length is even shorter than just one of four scenarios. Technically it still would be longer than someone very good doing The Tofu Survivor with all five characters in a row.

Resident Evil 3 remake is how you don't properly remake a true horror classic. I think Capcom got greedy & this was the result of it. This game should've gotten more done to it than what we actually gotten. Like having an section or two or maybe a few more enemies we could've faced. Maybe two additional boss monsters could've helped things a bit.

Honestly, I do liked their attempt at making the game scary. The dialogue itself was too focused on Nemesis himself. Jill even had a few bad lines including this one my favorite sarcasm. "Next time take the f*&^%() hint." What is this a dating show lol. Let's meet today's contest, Jill Valentine. Now Jill you have to pick one of three guys.

S. T. A. R. S. then Jill said, "I'll take him." I do like Nemesis was given an flame thrower. Now that was a great idea. I am just glad it wasn't the Gatling gun. Some versions of the monster had him wielding that weapon before. It just took away what made him so scary in the first place. The entire game felt like they don't want playing it for long.

Originally, they made RE3 harder on purpose to hope they could get another Resident Evil game to come out soon. In other words, they help the fans keep their mind off of that while wasting their time. Resident Evil 3 is a great game just not what I would say a great Resident Evil game. Good sure in a few ways it could be called a good game.

I actually was more blown away by RE7 in comparison here. Keep in mind, RE7 started using the RE Engine. Not many games so far used this engine including RE3 remake. I felt the voice acting was way better in RE7 as well. I did like early on in Jill's place did play a little like RE7 without the weapons. This game is one of the best 2020 games I played but also one of the biggest disappointments as well.

I could argue story wise Battletoads 2020 game had a more interesting story. Streets of Rage 4 is pretty much guaranteed to remain as my choice for game of the year. AVGN 1 & 2 Deluxe packed a lot more than this. RE3 remake is a game they could've worked with a lot of it's problems were fixed or removed altogether.

Why Hulk would win against Broly (DBS) on Death Battle?

 I just need to say I previously done predictions on this fight. But when I did majority of them in the past, it was only non canon Broly. I have taken time to look into this new, canon Broly. Honestly, it didn't change my argument up enough to matter.

Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, Over the years there's one particular fight debate that brought me the most pain. One that just the very thought of it causes me to lose control in rage. I am talking about Hulk vs. Broly, I knew for a few years they had to do this one. Easily, one of the biggest requests for both characters on their show.

Believe it or not, I'm actually siding with Hulk for this upcoming episode. I could lose everyone's time by listing every single Hulk feat on the internet. But let's be honest, you just need to know the ones that helps determines who would win in a fight. I am already expecting some unpleasant comments coming my way just making this.

I want to do the actual argument first before showing some of Hulk's feats. There's a reason behind doing it differently here. Hulk has a long history of overpowering his opponents, ridiculous regeneration & adapting to anything with no clear problems. The summary of all of my argument is Hulk virtually can survive most possible scenarios that could happen.

Also, Broly may get stronger as the fight goes on. But a lot of you Dragon Ball fans aren't paying attention to the very definition of what that means. Basically the longer Broly fights, the stronger he'll become. But let's say if there's some form of delay like trying to find Hulk. During that period, Broly's power stops increasing.

This is important because as long as Hulk's angry, his power constantly goes up. This might be difficult to swallow but there's actually more relating to his insane endurance that plays into that as well. For starters, as long he remains angry the basic stuff most living creatures do won't affect Hulk.

He actually could fight up to an entire week to still wanna keep going. This alone is level of stamina that doesn't exists within the Dragon Ball universe. Hulk obviously has more overall experience with DBS Broly not having much to go for research purposes. I will say this out of kindness, he has more going for him than Riptor & Rock Lee.

Hulk can adapt to anything he wants with plenty of ridiculous feats to back that up. For example, he can dig like a mole on steroid while beneath the ground I'm not kidding. Some of his fights notably shakes the world with feats to back this up. Obviously, Hulk is a confirmed planet destroyer.

World War Hulk was the highest record anger Hulk ever shown. Funny enough, more recently an insanely powerful version of Hulk called Cosmic Immortal Hulk. This particular version of Hulk is so powerful, he even defeated The One Above All. Now for those that may heard of or doesn't even know, The One Above All is essentially God.

The One Above All is the only thing more powerful than the Living Tribunal itself. Which is massively multiversal level of power with stuff to help back that up too. The power scaling isn't really necessary. This version of Broly is stronger than SSB Goku, SSB Vegeta and Golden Frieza.

It actually took SSB Gogeta to defeat him. All of them are more or less god level. Here's the sad, depressing truth to Dragon Ball fans. Yes, all of them are insanely powerful. But they are still short of Superman level characters like Silver Surfer. Even if they were on that level, many characters within that power class are god like in many ways.

Now let's bring in Galactus whose technically two power classes beyond that. Just using a small portion of his energy transformed people like Silver Surfer into Superman level beings. People like Odin & Thanos are still considered threats just no where near the insane level of power that Galactus has.

Keep in mind, around those power classes are definitively universal to possibly multiversal level of power. I say that because there isn't many power classes beyond the one with Galactus. Beyond him are mostly beings to help keep everything going within the balance like Death.

Beyond all of them is the Living Tribunal who easily has plenty of raw power to destroy universes. The entire point is Dragon Ball universe are lucky to one day officially be on Superman level class. Even if they were there, they still fail short for the obvious reasons. Now Hulk is a being that can overcome any opponent as long he remains angry.

One of his recurring enemies, The Abomination is usually more than twice as strong as Hulk. But loses majority of their fights is a testament to Hulk's insane strength. Oh I haven't even go to the really interesting stuff yet. Hulk can virtually survive anything you could possibly name.

Chances are a huge number of those that may apply to this fight is closed down to him. Not in the same way as Doomsday but you'll get the idea. The main reasons Hulk loss to Doomsday is he had no real way to putting him for good. Also, Doomsday adapts to just as many things as Hulk at a much faster rate.

This includes Doomsday being able to keep up with speedsters like The Flash. Which greatly allowed a mindless Doomsday to over whelm Hulk enough to kill him. However Broly likely won't since any major delays during a fight will prevent him from getting stronger.

Of course, Hulk held his own against a fellow planet destroyer rival, Thor. There's actual example he was once fighting with exploding planets & stars like it's nothing. This isn't something Dragon Ball characters have shown to do. Hulk also doesn't actually require oxygen to survive giving him a major advantage in this fight.

Yes, Hulk isn't what you may call an constantly developed character. In fact, there's a lot of confusion what to actually consider for some of his big fight debates such as this. There's times Hulk is dumber while other times has shown some form of intelligence. Obviously, the smarter versions could easily out think Broly.

Hulk once forced a nearly destroyed planet back together on himself to ended up saving it. Which lead to him becoming that race's new leader just before World War Hulk Arc happened. Broly does have aura that more or less acts like a force field. I actually found some proof that Hulk himself can destroy force fields with such claims.

One of which came from Dr. Doom himself. Whose virtually the second best science/magic user overall reputation. He once trapped him inside a force field he quotes that nothing in the universe could destroy it. Then you already figured out what happened. Hulk easily destroyed that force field surprising Dr. Doom.

Hulk has held his own against many powerful beings even some gods. I actually found two times that Galactus fired blasts at Hulk. Now Galactus is widely known for devouring planets. As stated before he's more on high universal level with his insane level of power. The really crazy part is Galactus usually shown in a hungry state.

There is little information about what a full powered Galactus would be. If I have to take a guess, Galactus would likely temporary be on multiversal level class. I say temporary due to his constant need of devouring planets to keep himself alive while being notably gigantic. If you think about it, both these characters are unusual for their species.

Broly had an unnatural amount of ki as well as having Legendary Super Saiyan form. In vice versa, Dr. Banner is a human that transform into his older self whose god like. Thus, his very existence on Earth ever since the day he became Hulk was unnatural to begin with. Most people that takes an fatal amount of radiation dies painful deaths.

Hulk can actually breath under the water removing any further options to kill him by suffocation. He survived re-entry from space a few times, he was clearly fine. If you think about it has survive the sun in a few ways as well removing killing him with heat. Now let's flip the temperature side to cold, sadly Broly isn't going to get far with that either.

As mentioned earlier, Hulk has ridiculous regeneration. He has survived all kind of things including stuff that shouldn't even be possible. A great example of this was a device to unmake anything it gets on. For a short while, it was working until Hulk's regeneration kicked in. I know what some of you are probably thinking.

"Broly could easily kill Dr. Banner if given the chance right?" Surprisingly, no because Hulk usually comes out when Dr. Banner's life in danger like the time he just got hit by a moving train. Rapidly transformed into Hulk to stop the train not long afterwards. Hulk has an unusual history of how fast he could transform from Dr. Banner.

Hell, one time Dr. Banner was severely burnt. But he was fully healed once he became Hulk shortly afterwards. A future Dr. Banner got devoured by insects then fully regenerated not long after that. Hulk has a more notable win/loss ratio since he's been around a lot longer. I deeply need to say DB usually keeps anime/manga characters with what's canon.

It is very likely they will be doing that two episodes in a row here. Now even if the non canon Broly were to get used. I still don't think he could kill him fully. Obviously, both of them can easily destroy planets. But Hulk did survive an Supernova created by Human Torch at point blank. He was fine but stopped rampaging thanks to his help.

An Supernova is much more than a massive ball of fire to some. An actual explosion that can destroy several stars & planets within it's path. We still haven't seen something this powerful within the Dragon Ball universe.. I do need to mention, there's only twelve universes in that multiverse while Marvel multiverse is essentially endless amount of universes.

For those that doesn't fully understand, we got a set number of universes for the Dragon Ball multiverse. Unless Grand Zenos wants to create or destroy more universes. There's a clear amount of universes which means a powerful enough force could potentially destroy it all much easier in comparison.

There's a lot of involve with trying to do that with an multiverse filled with infinite amounts of universes. Clearly, it means you'll need a ridiculous amount of force to destroy the multiverse. Which is way, way beyond the amount of force it would take out the Dragon Ball multiverse. Hulk can hold his own against adamantium and vibranium made stuff.

Both those metals are insanely durable. It may not be entirely clear what actually could destroy those types of metal. But Hulk had bitten and pulled off himself similar things made by them before with ease. A great example of this is all the times he fought Wolverine. Whose has fully has adamantium infused into his very skeleton including his claws.

I bring this up because anything made from those could harm Hulk. Otherwise, enough force could harm him as well. However, there's clear proof he can't be beaten to death. Which removes yet another option how Broly could kill him off the table. I know some of you are going to be like "Broly could blast him to pieces and not do anything about it claim."

Truthfully, when Hulk wants to do something, he gets it done. Which is one of the big reasons The Avengers themselves has trouble keeping him in check or even capturing him during his rampaging. Hulk can easily generate a lot of force a few ways. Overtime, Hulk likely going to become too much for him to handle with pure strength alone.

One of the biggest mistakes I see in people's claims is lifting and raw power may be types of power. But all of them work very differently from each other. Lifting involving well actually lifting things. Hulk once lifted an 150 billion tons mountain by himself. Raw power is the force of your attacks or how much could potentially take before being defeated.

Broly clearly has massive destructive potential as shown in one particular movie. But so does Hulk with more than enough to really back that up. Lifting however is something not as often used within the Dragon Ball feats. Yeah, you could lift a boulder with ki. But all you're actually doing is lifting the boulder with your ki not your actual strength.

Now Hulk has lifted all kind of things over the years. He is among 100+ tons class characters. Basically, these characters can easily go way better 100 tons. Hulk may not use ki, he still has a major one up on Broly in comparison. Broly was designed to virtually be the ultimate saiyan with ridiculous potential.

There actually exists a few versions of Hulk that could defeat Broly like Cosmic Immortal Hulk or Devil Hulk. Now granted, Devil Hulk was more of a mental being for Hulk than a physical one. Dr. Banner also gains some great advantages as well for having Hulk side. Hulk is immune to diseases as well as greatly uses up chemicals that aren't from his body.

Which greatly limits the option of drugging Hulk. Now this is more of something to happen in someone's parody of this fight than actually happening. Hulk held his own against Sentry who a Superman class character a few times. Even if Broly appears too fast for him. Hulk surprisingly has a history of getting caught up to people who actually thought they gotten away like Jack of Hearts.

I do see Hulk being able to do that at some point in this intense showdown. Hulk can easily survive in space while Broly likely dies without aura. I really could keep going on and on with a lot of reasons. I think it's time to end my argument. Hulk's regeneration greatly prevents Broly from killing him in most likely scenarios during an actual fight.

Hulk has superior physical strength by default. His anger simply removes his limitations of being a human possibly up to a week. Hulk can adapt to more things at a faster rate. Not to mention, if Broly were to stop fighting at any given time will stop increasing his power. I bring this up because the longer Broly fights, the less likely his endurance would give in.

The problem with that is as long Hulk remains angry, he'll constantly get stronger as the fight goes on. Even during that brief period making Hulk the worst out of the two to face in combat. Hulk usually doesn't fail to break anything especially when someone stated it can't be broken. Hulk can easily use his jumping or swimming to shorten the distance.

Broly is wearing battle armor that his species uses. But Hulk himself is virtually one of the toughest things in his universe to break. It doesn't even matter Broly can use his aura like a force field or constantly blow up parts of the universe. If Hulk is willing to fight back, he will regardless what may come his way.

Hulk not being able to fly actually an advantage because he can dig a tunnel rapidly in the ground. He also can easily surprise attack him with whatever he finds. Clearly, these two powerhouses are insanely powerful in different ways. Broly may have the raw power advantage. But lifting an 150 billion tons mountain is more impressive.

Also you could punch with more force but it just isn't the same as being punch by someone who can lift a lot more weight with ease in comparison. In other words, Hulk's punches will greatly hurt Broly especially overtime with his constant strength increase. Two particular enemies of his could not determine Hulk's strength limit.

We are talking about a man who once swim while carrying an island on his back, no this actually happened. Hulk's anger also determines the rate his strength goes up. If he's beyond piss like World War Hulk Arc, his strength is going up an insane rate. Broly is a trained saiyan warrior but he isn't as intelligent as Dr. Banner whose considered to be one of the smartest people on his planet.

Broly can't even count on diseases to kill Hulk since he's immune to them. Virtually, Broly has no choice but to fully destroy Hulk with a powerful blast. But the real question is could Broly generate enough energy to do that? Broly is more directly using his energy in comparison to Hulk. So a likely attack that potentially might kill Hulk is likely small solar system level.

Hulk had survived blasts from Galactus & an Supernova with ease. If Hulk could easily survive those than Broly likely can't fully destroy him. Not to mention, even the smallest part of him can fully regenerate his entire body with several feats to back that up. Hulk can easily survive the sun itself as well as the coldest things including the vacuum of space.

I know some people may mention "Broly broke several barriers during his fight with Gogeta." Believe it or not, Hulk has a few reality barrier breaking feats himself done more effortlessly in comparison. Not to mention, that happened because two insanely powerful beings fighting each other. Rather than the insane power of one to cause that. more of the case for Hulk's similar feats.

I should point out, this also leaves to other Hulk feats pages easy to miss those.

Yes Hulk once did something to affect the multiverse.

Now I couldn't find a more direction picture relating to Cosmic Immortal Hulk defeating The One Above All.

Jack Red presents Top 5 Reasons Why Soulcalibur VI is better than Mortal Kombat 11

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, this is not a joke post. I actually am here to give great reasons why Soulcalibur VI is better than Mortal Kombat 11. I put a lot of thought into making this blog entry. I'm always a huge fan of both franchises. I just can't help parts of MK11 could've upsets me. I don't question it's a great game because it is.

5. The set up for dlcs is a lot better in the long run

I know some people may take this out of contexts for being bias. Honestly, I am greatly not happy how the MK team is handling the dlcs. Let me break it down the best way I could. At the beginning of it was fine, we got the first Kombat Pack having six dlc characters. Then we get to MK11: Aftermath a few months later.

Although, you can get it in separate purchases. The then big deal just for that content was forty bucks? To clarify, it added another, shorter section to the story mode. You also get three dlc characters including RoboCop within the deal. It just doesn't feel justify in it's pricing. Sure, some MK fans could hit Soulcalibur VI's Season 2 Pass being thirty four dollars.

In it's defense, we got four dlc characters with Haohmaru from Samurai Shodown series. Each character also came with a lot of stuff for Creation mode. Which can be used on existing or original characters. Plus, two previous game's soundtracks are also included. To me, yeah the price is a little high but more deserving of it's overall value.

More recently, Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate that adds three more dlc characters. The new big deal includes everything including Shao Kahn. But then out of no where even before that update happened, we gotten three movie skins costume pack. Which is not included in that deal. Now rumor has it, even more dlcs possibly coming to the game.

Let's be honest, these dlcs are getting out of control. It is likely going to turn people against from buying em or even playing the game like myself. I actually felt having season passes like Killer Instinct, Soulcalibur VI and Tekken 7 works way better. For the most part, their prices are reasonable. You do get a lot with your money in comparison.

Oh yeah, you probably already know Kombat Pack 2 which includes Rambo from Rambo series. You would think that should've been Kombat Pack 3 because of dlc characters for 11: Aftermath. This alone cause some confusion as well. Not to mention, most of these dlc characters are gun theme making the game incredibly unbalanced.

4. More creative usage of Story Mode

I am excluding Libra of Souls since I will be discussing that story mode later on. Both MK11 and SCVI has a story mode. But Soulcalibur VI clearly went the distance with the concept. Especially having the tragedy of SCV's story mode made a great come back. Although, parts of MK11's story mode does allow you to switch often between two characters.

It doesn't seen to matter that much honestly. Soulcalibur VI doesn't just have a main story mode. It also has particular character's stories as well. Which does include stuff added through free updates & some paid dlcs. Now this alone adds more information to most of the characters. Keep in mind, The Witcher is canon in this game so he also has his own story portion.

You actually get a lot more story in comparison. A lot more interesting combat situations as well. It just felt like an unique take on the concept to me. This is more direct fan service here without question. You also get side stories that do connect stories of other characters as well. I also loved how it is set up to help get an idea when all of it took place.

3. More customizable options for character outfits

More recently for MK11, you can unlock a lot of outfits. But parts of them are somewhat similar to other ones in some way. I am not saying I didn't like a lot of them because I do. I just felt very different from picking what to wear to flat out creating an entirely new outfit for the characters. Which is more of the case for Soulcalibur VI.

You can use up to 100 slots for Creation mode. It gives you mostly creative control how to custom any existing character. You can go in many directions with what you have. But it gets even better than that. You also can customize the actual look of what you wear as well as your weapon to a degree. Which does include the basic texture look you want.

Yeah, trying to find a particular color can be a bit frustrating. At least, I have the option to do that unlike MK11. Also, you can change the color of their aura as well as the aftermath of their attacks too. You can truly be creative with custom stuff especially from dlcs you owned. By having that in the game, you have more reason to grow attached.

2. Being able to create your own characters

Now what's better than customizing existing characters how you want. You actually can create your own characters too. Which is entirely absent from that franchise since Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. Which was very bare bones compared to Soulcalibur III that came out a few years before. Even Soulcalibur IV that came out the following year had more going for that feature.

You can create entirely new characters or recreate some of your characters ever. Early on, Soulcalibur VI the team took submissions from many people for possible opponents to face in Libra of Souls. Let's just say there's some surprises in there lol. My point is this further brings out creativity within the fan base.

1. A story mode where you play as your own character

One of the biggest reasons Soulcalibur VI is better than Mortal Kombat 11 has to be Libra of Souls. This is it's own story mode where you play as a custom character of your choice. Believe it or not, the team confirmed this mode is also canon as well. In a sense, you could imagine yourself or a character you recreated to face such big name characters.

Yes, it does take hours to complete this story mode. But wait it actually gets better than it already sounds. Depending on your decisions mostly do you take the azure sword or the golden sword ones? Enough of one will determine which ending you'll get. Which means to fully experience this mode story wise, you have to fully play it twice.

You also can use the other character's fighting styles through out this mode. Of course, there is an easy leveling system to help when things get difficult. One of the coolest surprises is you actually can reuse stuff from previous runs in newer ones. Thus, you don't fully start all the way over making it easier to play it.

You also can switch getting SP points to use in Museum mode or more money for Libra of Souls to help you out. Another cool thing is you can decide to pick an icon you have available or choose to travel away from em. This does come with risks of being ambushed. If you lose any of those, your travel ends with whatever money used now wasted.

This allows more creative usage of the map system alone. I should mention similar to Weapon Master mode of Soulcalibur II. You may have to fight under such conditions that can be frustrating. This mode does have fights that because of a said condition makes what would've been an easy fight a surprisingly difficult one.

It actually feels like you're within their world as you're playing Libra of Souls. There's five chapters worth of story you can play. Even getting either ending, the mode continues. Either way you look at it, a lot of thought got put into this story mode. I would even say parts of it are more fun than MK9's story mode I'm not kidding.

Why Mysterio would win against Scarecrow on Death Battle?

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, a lot of people been requesting Mysterio vs. Scarecrow. As much they done so many episodes just those two comic book companies facing each other. This has to be one one of the worst I ever heard. It actually isn't even worth doing an full episode on.

To clarify, I am a bigger Scarecrow fan since child hood. Yet I will be listing a lot of Mysterio feats before I lay out my argument why he wins. This is should to be more about making it clear. Obviously, this would be a lot longer if I took the time to fully cover both characters.

http://i.imgur.com/FPhfubz.jpg?1


I just want to say before I break it down. I have a lot of respect for Dr. Jonathan Crane. Easily, one of the freakiest comic book villains I ever heard of. The problem is Mysterio was formerly a special effects wizard and stuntman for a big-name Hollywood studio.

He is skilled in using special effects, mixing chemicals, building machines, hypnotizing people as well as an escape artist. Let's be honest, Mysterio could compare somewhat to Batman himself. Batman does have a lot of that going for him minus the special effects stuff.

Scarecrow usually loses to Batman meaning he likely would lose to Mysterio too. Dr. Crane regularly uses farming tools against people. Obviously, Mysterio's technology allowed him to hold his own against some of Spider-Man enemies. Most of Batman's recurring enemies are mostly normal people.

In Spider-Man's case, most of his recurring enemies are in some way on early superhuman levels. Easily, being able to lift a lot more in comparison as well as tank much greater force with ease. Even comparing the speed difference, Mysterio being able to keep up with Spider-Man is impressive.

Scarecrow's greatest weapon being his fear toxin is sadly useless here. In many canons, he has shown creativity how to expose people. However, most those methods wouldn't work on Mysterio. For starters, Mysterio included a function within the suit to filter out toxic gases or other harmful stuff.

Scarecrow loves to watch people losing control in fear. Even if Mysterio were to be exposed while wearing the helmet. He used a particular type of glass allowing himself to see out of it while anything outside can't see him. Sometimes, Scarecrow becomes desperation wants to bring out fear in someone.

Which brings me to another major point, Scarecrow is widely known for being insane. This is largely why he's so rememberable among many DC comic book villains. He doesn't want money or fame. No, he simply wants one thing chaos itself. Obviously, Mysterio is a sane person whose widely known for being a great strategist.

I think everyone can agree both these guys are intelligent. Scarecrow can't outmatch enhanced strength that suit given Mysterio. His technology is very likely what he built myself is a critical advantage here. The fear toxin causes illusions & paranoia to whoever gets exposed.

Scarecrow has been defeated many occasions having his own fear toxin used against him. It is likely Mysterio would easily take advantage of that. Mysterio also could come up with something to directly counter act with that toxin. The simple fact, he created his own gas capable of disabling Spider-Man's Spidey-Sense is impressive.

There's a chance Scarecrow might find a way to break that helmet. A few possibilities could happen here. An illusion copy of himself, suddenly a couple Mysterios appears or a robot doppelganger. Sometimes, he uses one of those tricks to sneak up on his enemies.

There are times, he uses one of those tricks to escape. Now I listed a lot of Mysterio's illusion & hypnosis feats for a reason. He is a master at deception often tricking Spider-Man with ease. Everyone knows Spider-Man is also a genius himself. Mysterio is also skilled at hypnosis that allows him to manipulate people to a degree.

This is something Scarecrow doesn't do neither have a counter for. Also, Mysterio's illusions are very difficult to see through. Now throw in the possibility of him also being exposed to fear toxin, Dr. Crane could die of a heart attack. Mysterio is not meant to be taken lightly.

The short summary is Mysterio greatly has superior technology, skill set and stats in comparison. Sure, Dr. Crane does technically have more overall experience & more creative ways to expose people to his fear toxin. What good are those if he can't even directly expose a small part of Mysterio for it to work.

Especially when Mysterio could directly counter it or use that against him easily. It doesn't help Scarecrow uses farming tools since they aren't really meant for combat. They aren't altered in any way either meaning Mysterio could easily break em. Scarecrow is likely going to lose it fast with Mysterio's illusions.

Why Sanji would win against Rock Lee on Death Battle?

Spoiler alert, the next episode for Death Battle is Sanji from One Piece vs. Rock Lee from Naruto. This was a community death battle topic. It also was a huge request from their fans. Honestly, as much I'm happy to see Sanji on their show. This is a horrible stomp in his favor that's not going to make a lot of people happy.

Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, the upcoming episode of Death Battle is going to be Sanji vs. Rock Lee. Basically One Piece vs. Naruto theme episode. I will not be reviving prediction blogs. Instead I figured to be even more direct with my arguments. So I figured to showcase a lot of his feats in most categories to help give an idea how much of a mismatch this truly is.

Now it's time to directly show off my arguments.

Please look at all these feats before my actual arguments. From that point, you'll see how I am viewing this fight or at least I hope so.

All of this are from post time skip. I also needed it for further comparison reasons. Let's just say it quickly becomes mind blowing.

Now keep in mind, this isn't using any non canon feats. One Piece manga is still ongoing while Boruto also going on as well. Naruto manga ended a few years ago. I hate to say for a while, Rock Lee got pushed to the side for remainder of that manga series. I focus on feats that should counter most likely arguments someone going with Rock Lee could have.

Sanji constantly has proven to be strong enough to knocking giants off their feet. He also shown to be constantly fast as well. He may not look like but he's one of the smartest members of his crew without question. Sanji also an expert on stealth having to learned it from his child hood back in Germa Kingdom.

Even if Sanji doesn't use haki to increase his chances at winning. His Diable Sambe is capable of bypassing his opponent's durability. Now throw in his own armament haki into the mess, Sanji could easily break Rock Lee's blocks with ease. I shown proof that Sanji can use Observation Haki. This ability can see things easily miss or even invisible to people even in someone else's body.

I also proven that Sanji can tank some serious force himself. Even at one point, a device using the same force as his kick got used on his face. Sanji also can easily take the fight into the air greatly limiting what Rock Lee could do. Let's be honest, for someone whose about getting close. It is a horrible idea against a guy who can kick even giants and buildings.

Not to mention, Sanji also survived 10,000 meters depth in the ocean itself. He chose to move outside a bubble created to prove him and some of his allies from the water pressure. He was able to handle that pressure to a degree. This alone limits how much force could Rock Lee potentially use against him. Yes, he could use six of eight gates.

However that will come at the cost of his life. Especially when he opens one too many forcing his death to happen. Sanji also has strength feats that relates to lifting things like a massive wedding cake. For those that doesn't know huge cakes can weight a lot of pounds. Your standard big size cake can take a small group of people to carefully move it from point a to point b.

The other problem is cakes can easily break. So the fact Sanji was able to kick such a massive cake into the air without any notable damage in itself quite impressive. I know someone is going to bring up Rock Lee's destroying an meteorite. Sadly, that wasn't done just by him. Which can be tricky to determine how much force Rock Lee himself actually done to that meteorite.

Rock Lee himself lacks much usage of chakra in ways most shinobis can. Which does greatly affect his overall potential. Now before torches comes out, Rock Lee does technically have a leg up in terms of being more trained in hand to hand combat. Which actually came in handily for him a few times. But Rock Lee has no counter for Sanji's haki.

Let's be honest, Sanji can easily caught up to Rock Lee's weakness to quickly take advantage of it. Simply having two different ways that can be combined to increase damage while bypassing durability is a huge advantage. Rock Lee has to rely on jumping constantly in hopes to try getting close to Sanji. The problem is Sanji also can attack from a distance including from the air.

Which would make Rock Lee's chance of doing anything serious slim to none. Sanji also comes from a scientist background in comparison to that of a shinobi for Rock Lee. This chef has shown his intelligence from time to time in ways you wouldn't expect. Sadly, Rock Lee isn't very bright to begin with.

Sanji also can attack from under the water too. Which would make a water battle another bad idea for Rock Lee. Not to mention, Sanji can also jump similar to moving in the air while under the water. Obviously, making Sanji a lot faster under the water in comparison. We haven't even talked about his raid suit yet.

Haki can be use to track fast moving opponents even if they're invisible. Even without knowing how to use haki, Sanji defeated an invisible man before. Sanji's raid suit turns him invisible, I listed a feat showcasing it. Believe it or not, Sanji was also trained for stealth missions at a young age. He quickly got to Luffy while he escaped from the mirror world to avoid an ambush waiting for his captain.

This cause confusion how did they not get Luffy? Keep in mind, Luffy was wore out from fighting sweet general Katakuri that took hours. I am saying Sanji actually better at stealth which is a more common trait of a ninja. Sanji once used knives against a chef as if they were swords. Which confirmed Sanji was also trained to use weapons.

The more I look at this particular fight, the more obvious Rock Lee is in trouble. There isn't much he could do to someone like Sanji. In fact, Sanji had much more character development in his story. Which is likely due to the author of Naruto trying to end Naruto manga series. I should also point out, Rock Lee doesn't use weapons much either making his style of combat even worse here.

I know someone is likely going to disagree with me. Sadly, fight debates are something that doesn't necessary have proper endings. But that doesn't stop shows like Death Battle from doing em. Even if they're massive stomps like this one. My point is no matter what Rock Lee does, Sanji can end the fight at any given time he wants.

Criticisms about The Angry Video Game Nerd in Tower of Torment: The Final Chapter

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, this is a post I don't think anyone should or needs to make. But I looked at a lot of comments saying stuff like "Give us AVGN 3 or The bonus game isn't AVGN 3." I am here to defend this bonus game. Honestly, people still saying stuff like that after watching they're making of video are selfish pricks.

Yes, this is one world with four levels. But they explained the reasons behind it's creation. Also, a lot of you aren't even realizing the amount of work went into recreating two games here. Which had to include some important changes. Not because they wanted to differ it from the previous releases. No because they were necessary changes to further connected all the games together.

As I said in my own review of AVGN I & II Deluxe, they shown creative in this bonus game. The simple fact, one of the stages has a huge truck going back & forward often through out the stage. Let's be honest, this alone is very frustrating to pull off. I felt the joke was well executed with a proper level of challenge. The third stage allowed you to go in a loop as some older games had done.

The first stage is one of the best first stages I played in a long time. The boss stage is absolutely perfection. I don't have a single criticism for it at all, I loved every minute of it. The title of this does have The Final Chapter. Which means it's meant to be the last one unless they decided to make another one. If they do end up continuing & it's not a reboot, the joke is clearly Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.

The songs in those stages are amazing guys. I felt it didn't need to be longer than it actually is. It kinda upsets me to hear you want a more "proper" AVGN 3 game. The next one if we ever get one is going to be AVGN 4 like it or not. For a bonus game, it left a major impact on me. I even felt some of the funniest jokes yet are in this.

I do agree with their decision to make this bonus game to help make their fans happy. Sure, a lot of us wouldn't mine getting newer versions of games we already have. But at the same time, we still want something regardless. In this case, those people simply didn't care about the bonus game at all. They went out of their way to making this bonus game for your entertainment.

It is quite upsetting those saying stuff like that have no respect. Also, a lot of people aren't necessary good at these games anyway. I felt this was a smart move to making those people happy. Some price aren't happy you'll pay fifteen bucks for this compilation. Technically speaking, each five dollars in that purchase is for each game included.

Do you even care they finally bring in a parody of Bugs Bunny? Obviously, we all knew eventually this was going to happen. I really waited patiently for this myself since Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle episode is my favorite. I honestly felt like the wait was well worth it. These stages will test you in ways you would expect from the last couple stages.

The trailers and a particular line from the boss stage confirmed the bonus game is in fact AVGN 3. So what it isn't many stages? I felt it was surprisingly well balanced, creative and unique at it's very core. Some of you come off as if you're being rip off. No if they were ripping you off, you wouldn't get all of this together.

It likely would've been each stage being dlcs that isn't bundle together. Now that's ripping people off, last I checked Freakzone Games doesn't do that. I am glad The Nostalgia Critic is no longer in AVGN II. His entire usage of the character came more off like their composite videos than an actual story line. He simply did not belong in an AVGN game, sorry some of you don't want to hear it.

AVGN 3 is short because if it was any longer. The game would quickly over stay it's welcome. What I mean by this is adding more to what we already have would take away from it altogether. Just imagine, we had two additional stages making it six in total. It just wouldn't work as well as just having four stages here.

Why because it's four very different stages that do stand out in their own right. Adding anymore craziness to it wouldn't work nearly as well. The stupidest thing I heard was someone actually refunded the game over. I kid you not this is one of the stupidest reasons to refund any game I ever heard. Are you ready for it?

Well because I'm not lol, he requested a refund due to the game over quotes being removed. WOW, I know I could've left that off but it was so amazingly stupid I couldn't. Now if another AVGN game happens, they could play on sequel titles confusion jokes. Honestly, I am happy with I gotten from them.

Some people thought the bonus game was going to be more than it actually is. Oh ok that's a fair statement. But this bonus game was a great way to tie it all together. Yes, most of the story was in the boss stage. What I think happened is shortly after AVGN II. Some point while The Nerd was passed out on the ground.

He woke up hearing something going high up in the air like a rocket. But it turned out to be this flying castle instead. The Nerd decides he doesn't have anything to lose so he goes to check it out. They also could've play on using your imagination to fill in the blanks joke. Sure, the collectibles aren't much in the bonus game.

They do make you work for em to make the process a bit longer. They easily could've done the first stage in a short game was too hard joke. Be thankful, it isn't designed that way. I don't think this third game needed to be much of anything. Yet it quickly blew my expectations fast. Also, if Freakzone Games makes another AVGN game.

They got plenty of options to delivering another ridiculous parody game. Sometimes, something so small leaves a bigger impact on people. Which is very likely what they were going for here. They given us something short, sweet and truly rememberable in it's own right. This bonus game deserves more reason than some of you are giving it.

Tips on how to get Totally Perfect Nerd achievement in AVGN I & II Deluxe

To clarify, I done all of it on one save Normal difficulty. Unless you are more hardcore to play harder difficulties of such games, I'm not the guy for that.

Warning, I may have to swear a little bit in this following blog post.

Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, before I get to today's topic. I will quickly give a fast run down of AVGN I & II Deluxe's achievements. Most of them is finding particular things which does include cameos. Obviously three of them is simply beaten the games. Most of it is easy to get but one particular achievement will guarantee rage quitting.

Of course, I'm talking about Totally Perfect Nerd achievement. I just gotten this very achievement not long ago today. I am making this guide to help those who are struggling to get this frustrating achievement. Before I even get to what you need to hear. I need to point a few things out first to give you a better understanding what to expect here.

1. There isn't any real notification in Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures if you gotten perfect nerd after getting it

Basically what this means is unlike AVGN 2 and 3 respectively. You won't see anything to tell you if you gotten any of the stages perfect or not. I highly recommend just for the first AVGN game write up the list. Over time in any order, you need to get all of them perfect for this achievement. I chose to use part of a text file on my computer for that purpose.

2. Among doing the final stages, you have to watch the endings again

3. Both AVGN 2 & 3 has noticeably shorter stages

4. Yes you can take hits as long as it isn't anything instant death

5. Some bosses in AVGN 1 are more vulnerable to the other playable characters

6. Practice as much as possible on every stage you can

7. Also be prepare to die a lot and yes I do mean a lot it's a very punishing process

8. Easier difficulties has infinite lives with spikes replacing many death blocks

9. If you have every upgrade in AVGN 2, you'll have it for AVGN 3

10. Some bosses got replaced that may affect strategies going in


Now we got all of that covered let's get to tips how to get this challenging achievement. First off, I highly recommend you fully play all three AVGN games. Do not attempt to rush doing this process, it only leads to death. Second, I also recommend in both AVGN 2 & 3 to do perfect on the boss stages first.

Trust me, those stages are short as well as easy to memorize with some bosses being trickier than others. Only the first AVGN games has a few stages with more than one boss at a time. Mostly Blizzard of Balls and Boo! Haunted House respectively. It is very important you learn not only how to properly play as the characters or just The Nerd in the other games.

You also need to learn the mechanics to the best of your abilities. A handful across all three games will challenge your skills as well as your determination to get it done. Very likely going to be Boo! Haunted House, Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts, Virtual Insanity and What The Fuck?!. I recommend after doing all boss stages in AVGN 2 & 3.

You need to complete those difficult stages no matter what. This is actually the opposite to what I done. Now looking back on it, I likely would go for the difficult stages first. In the first AVGN game, some bosses are weaker to the other playable characters than The Nerd. I was surprised BS Man can dealt some serious damage even to Fred Fucks I'm not kidding.

Both AVGN 2 & 3 does have more health items in comparison to the original AVGN game. By playing it on easier difficulties. You'll have infinite lives as well as a lot of death blocks replaced by spiked balls. This is very helpful way of going about this particular achievement. Most replace boss fights are slightly different from those originally were in those games.

The biggest boss change was the Unicorn got replaced by The Bloodstained Bears. Also, no need to worry about how fast you're running through the stages. You can take your time as much as possible during this process. Both AVGN 2 & 3 respectively will have The Nerd icons turned to gold once they're completed with no deaths.

The goal as brutal as the process going to be is eventually play every stage through without dying. Sometimes knowing some secrets especially in the original game could come in handily later. I should point out one of the bosses in Boo! Haunted House got changed to now instant death if he touches you. Sadly, the best way to survive it is play as The Nerd with careful planning.

Fred Fucks at the end of the first game is made a bit easier. Do not expect he's going to be a push over for a final boss. I think the Big Rigs stage of AVGN 3 requires knowing how to properly process the stage while avoiding the truck. My best advice is knowing all the safe spots are within the stage. I would say the first AVGN game overall is the most difficult.

Don't think the four stages of AVGN 3 is going to be easy during this process because guess what they're aren't. A good number of stages you'll quickly get down. It's the more difficult stages is where you'll start to question how much do you want this achievement. I also recommend taking mental notes of what to expect especially those you can't quite figure out at that time.

I had a couple of those during this process myself. You will need to push yourself to get this achievement. There is absolutely no real short cuts to doing it. Every single stage must be completed with no deaths at all. The good news is you can retry as much as you want. You do not have to fully start over like some games do.

Most important, yes some stages do have short cuts. Some do come with a risk of death as a fair warning. Thankfully, it is obvious what you need to do within every stage. Even a handful where you need to collect keys to process. I also done the stages before the actual games got started perfected just to be sure.

I also recommend when getting upset for awhile doing this process. Please take a break, chances are you'll do better later on. Yes, some obstacles can be frustrating to navigate through as well. Honestly, largely most of it is platforming for the most part. Not much game play wise will change between the three games.

I should point out doing this purpose doesn't actually affect your 100% completion in all three games. I had most of the achievements. By that point, I had an 100% completion in all three AVGN games. I mention it just in case people were wondering if that counted towards it or not now you know. This achievement is easily the most challenging.

Now I don't have every achievement in the previous AVGN games. So I can't compare the most difficult achievements of those versions here. I can say this for sure a lot of planning is required to do this. Sometimes, you'll have to force yourself into bad situations in hopes you'll get further & not die. Honestly, it is a real challenge that will help transform you into frickin' tigers man.

Jack Red reviews Battletoads (2020)

 Special thanks goes to my brother, Eric who gave me this game. I been wanting this game for a few months now.

Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, today I will be reviewing the new Battletoads game. I am not going to lie there's a lot to discuss here both good and not so great. To clarify, as much I may bash on this game I do really enjoy it. I would even say it's better than the NES game but it does come close to the arcade game. Keep in mind, this is a short lived franchise that got revived recently.

Like 2013 Killer Instinct game, a different team made this reboot. I still prefer Killer Instinct's for a lot of reasons. But it is still a fun yet unique experience. As you may expect they do throw a lot of game play styles right in your face. Some stages are mostly a series of mini games. There's a good number of boss fights.

I actually loved the artwork as a whole. The soundtrack is in all honesty very decent. The animations are pretty solid as well. The story is more what you would expect from an mid to late 90s cartoon show. It sorta reminds me of stuff like The Angry Beavers, CatDog, Ren & Stimpy and a few others. They actually made jokes about why it took them to return so long.

This does have some great jokes easily one of the funniest among Rare's video games. It still isn't as funny as Conker's Bad Fur Day perhaps. I will say it is still more strangely entertaining to watch in a few ways. Like the arcade game, you can play as any or all the battletoads at once. They also have a few more playable characters as well in some stages including the Dark Queen herself.

I was worried we waited a few years not hearing much about this reboot. As soon as they started talking about it again, I got excited. For those that doesn't know, Battletoads is a parody of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Which is strangely funny because TMNT itself is a parody of Marvel's Daredevil. Now go from Battletoads to AVGN II game, we have Battle Frogs.

Whom are both parodies of TMNT & Battletoads combined lol. Now that's strangely funny in a way that isn't easy to explain. Honestly, who really cares the simple fact they even took it a step further made it even more ridiculous. Back to Battletoads, they throw a lot of different game play styles to keep it interesting.

Some stages are beat em up style like some sections of the previous games. You also have more space shooter theme stages. The later entries did those types of stages. They also have a few mini game theme stages that are mostly fun well except one in particular. There's a few platforming stages that is unusual. This franchise as a whole is unusual so you know when I say it a different way something not quite right.

Pimple isn't allowed to attack anyone. Although, there actually no enemies on those stages. Instead you have to deal with avoid obstacles while puzzle solving. Which is obviously a parody of the more recent indie Metroidvania style games. Honestly, most of it is slower pace but refreshing in a way. Some puzzles are more confusing than others.

Some stages has you moving constantly forward. Two turbo bike theme stages as well as another stage you quickly need to press either X, Y or B. Yeah because those buttons represent different type of railing you need to switch out to continue the stage. But it is easy to get em confused or not realizing you're holding one or more buttons down to end up dying.

Later section of that stage, you need to quickly switch between railings while the big obstacle to your left is dangerously close. I am not going to lie, even including on easier difficulties having the option to become invulnerable. This game isn't balanced but parts of it are still a fun, enjoyable experience. It isn't too unbalanced to completely ruin the game unlike a couple I could name.

I actually liked the new cast they gotten for this game. To be honest, I wasn't too crazy for both Dark Queen & Zitz' new appearances at first. But overtime it kinda works, I understand why Dark Queen's outfit had to change. She originally looked like a vixen or some strippers whose appearance referenced Elvira.

Now, there's one particular stage I really didn't like. Although the concept of it on paper sounds interesting. It just felt rushed, forced and more of all unforgiving. The stage where you constantly need to reboot your ship's systems. The game does make a joke by pretending to give you one more round before ending.

I am fine with that joke but damn where to begin on this stage. At random, you are given a series of mini games that are all within your computer system. But it doesn't make which one you're currently doing often. Keep in mind, I'm playing on an easier difficulty here. I nearly rage quit on this particular stage alone.

You have to complete a set number of these mini games within a few rounds. It quickly gets frustrating fast with the confusion really not helping things. I believe the final round you need to do every mini game on that screen within a time limit. Each mini game has their own controls as well as their objectives.

If this isn't confusing enough, a handful of them aren't actually that bad. I don't like holding both trigger buttons a particular way. This quickly becomes a problem, I do see the point why they chose to do that mini game this way. This stage can go to the bottomless pit for all I care. Clearly, this is your game's take of a stress test.

Just imagine giving every new pilot a test that isn't flying a plane or a written test. Instead they must suffer trying to survive this mini game stage. Now sense would that make? I loved you can instantly revive your other playable characters. Although, it does determine which stages. Yes this is the key word alright.

In beat em up stages, a fallen battletoads has a small time limit before they can be used again. Thank god, they didn't use a life system here. In turbo bike stages, only check points brings em back. However, some stages works very differently. For space shooter stages, you just get full health among reaching check points.

Some boss fights can be a little too unforgiving. I do think most of them are done just right even with some surprises thrown in. The space shooter boss fight you basically face him twice. The first time is easy not much strategy at all. But his real boss fight quickly gets more challenging later on. If you ever played space shooters or those style games with projectiles covering most of the screen.

You aren't going to enjoy this boss very much. Surprisingly, I was able to beat him after a few attempts without using the invincible feature. I am very happy to have this feature with some sections of the later stages. You quickly need to work fast in some of those stages. I will say this game does have some fun achievements.

I think out of the ones I gotten prior to writing this review. My favorite achievement has to be getting through A Rock and A Hard Place stage without restarting. I got to be honest, this mini game stage was a lot of fun. Obviously since I already reviewed Streets of Rage 4. Not to mention, some people who reviewed both games compared the two.

Why shouldn't I do the same otherwise I would have to do it later. I do really enjoy both those games as a long time fan of beat em up games. Battletoads obviously wins in the humor department. Both of them do new interesting concepts for the most part worked. Great updated looks on all the playable characters.

Both games have an fantastic soundtracks with everything considered. I just felt out of respect, Streets of Rage 4 impressed me more. Not only it was a more balanced game. They went the extra mile with modes as well as having classic versions of several characters. You also can use an tazer on SOR arcade cabinets to do classic boss fights.

The simple fact it plays more on nostalgia that's done surprisingly well. More fun boss fights overall with better moves in comparison. I just felt SOR4 is hands down the better game. But don't take that the wrong way. Battletoads is a close second in recent years of those who attempted to bring back the beat em up genre.

I am even saying it is quite good in it's own right. Obviously, Battletoads took bigger risks in comparison that I highly do respect. Battletoads is a great return for these characters. I know a lot of reviewers aren't happy with this game, I do sorta see why. Honestly, I love stuff like this excuse me for being different lol.

I do liked there's a stage selection to make getting some achievements you missed easier to go for. Obviously, there's more stages than those of SOR4. I felt SOR4 is technically shorter of the two games. But you don't really notice stuff like this when you play em. I actually felt both games had a great few hours length campaigns.

I am glad they didn't over thought the number of them here. Battletoads is a rather unique experience that simply can't be fully explained in words. You got something truly different yet refreshing for most game play styles it covers. Honestly, I do like it challenges you to learn different controls through out the experience.

Yes even with one stage making it incredibly frustrating. I also liked the surprises they hid in some of the stages. Battletoads is a game that never was meant to be taken seriously. A slight chance AVGN games maybe somewhat been inspirations for this game is something I really would like to know. Overall, even with it's flaws I still say it is a solid entry within the Battletoads franchise.

Obviously Battletoads Arcade is still my favorite entry of all. My standards aren't dangerously unlike many reviewers out there. I would say the wait for me personally was well worth every minute of it. This game was indeed worth checking out late into 2020 without question. It won't be my choice for game of the year award but a solid recommendation sure why not lol.
