Can we have Vs. threads back?

[Amazed]

It's been a couple of years now. I don't see why SRK can't have another shot at them since they were some of the most interesting threads we've had. Suppose we're allowed one thread per week which is pre approved by a moderator. Members can vote for the matchup the entire week beforehand in a designated thread. Etc etc.

Please. :sad:

[VG Emblem]

Yeah, shit can be fun as long as people don't go overboard. I second your motion.

I third it. I do miss the jokes during the VS threads

That's where I go for my VS thread fix.

shut up

[Rhio2k]

No. Nononono. Superman vs Goku. 'nuff said. I had srk set to show 50 posts per page and the damn thing ended at 11 pages. Hell no. That shit alone was probably the biggest cause for Gen disc being reset back when we had good threads.

What are you talking about? They were some of the most puerile threads ever.

[Kyoujin]

I personally don't miss VS threads; they were always so illogical and silly. I could never help myself from thinking "Who gives a shit?" when ever I saw a VS thread.

[fishjie]

my favorite vs threads were:

superman vs goku

and

xmen vs dbz

i think the conclusion was that pre-crisis supes would win since he was written to be invincible. while dbz super saiyans would annihilate the xmen - they were just too fast and too strong to be stopped.

[Rhio2k]

Goku won.

[YahnV]

Nobody won. The threads just went on forever...

[XZalla]

shut up
dont let me get my controller... :nunchuck:

god no....take that shit to gamefaqs

[9999]

Whoever wins, we still lose...

[Jenova_KMFDM]

I always enjoyed the batman vs topics

lol this threads gonna automatically turn into a vs. thread and thats the irony.

hmm i think it's time for some tier discussion

He's not invincible, just nothing human could harm him.

In relative terms, Goku > anything. It's just true, that whole anime is broken and shouldn't be allowed in any versus threads.

[Million]

heh, yeah...gold-status AMAZO over on JLU. Who could beat that?

I think it's silly to have a ban on any type of discussion in a general discussion forum of any site....especially Vs. stuff. For those who don't like it....how damn hard is it to avoid participation? SRK has been wishy washy on this issue anyway...sometimes everyone is suddenly "oh no a Vs. thread get that shit out of here please", and other times one pops up and is fine for some reason. One of the great things that kept me hooked on SRK in the first place was that you could talk about basically anything on the general part of the forums here....and that was a stark contrast to the heavily censored other messageboards I've been to.(like Gamefaqs....over there, it's like you're Richard Pryor trying to do his best material on Seasame Street...you can't really say anything...and I'm not just talking about cursing.)

-on another sidenote---I'd still say Goku could be defeated rather easily since he happens to have the I.Q. of a grape. Imagine a super-strong retarded person. You could still take him out because, well...he's still a retarded person.

Read this thread in it's entirety. Yes, I know I for one can drag on and on (sorry...) and this might take you a while, but to get what I'm saying here you're gonna have to read it. For those with very little interest, there's some very good Adam Warlock beasting towards the end.

Everything is all well and good so long as you don't encounter 'insane fan person.' Insane fan person honestly believes that their favorite character (or someone from their favorite franchise) can defeat any other fictional character. Next they will come out with ludicrous examples of how their character can defeat anybody and will never admit they are wrong. Seriously, these people are everywhere.

I am a fanboy. I am probably more terrible than anyone when it comes to fanboyism. Though I don't run around thinking that my favorite character Ryu can defeat Galactus in a fight.

So yeah, we can discuss power levels and how strong characters are and at that point the rest is best left up to your imagination, opinion, and whatever knowledge people can share about the characters. But the instant insane fanboy shows up it's all downhill.

This is why we have the Battle Polls. For a few months we can get all of our Nerdism out there and have vicous X vs. Z debates. Battle Poll >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Versus threads.

Just my 2 cents.

Pre-Crisis Superman is invincible. He could time-fucking-travel. He could do just about anything. And I believe his Kryptonite weakness became far greater Post-Crisis because Pre-Crisis Supes would react in seconds to anyone pulling out some green rock. Too fucking broken. He could even kill Goku if need be.


But anyway, no. Don't bring them back. Unless you're gonna vary it up and do something completely different and a lot more logical. Then, no. Leave this forum as is.

He's not invincible, dammit. He's just fucking strong, you don't get it, Super Saiyan 4 Goku is the most fucking broken thing ever. He doesn't even need to time travel, he could Kamehameha Hitler from his own house if need be. It's not fair to compare him to anyone else. It's like comparing a bulldozer to a lawnmower for which one has more power, there is no contest.

And, if they should be brought back, guidelines should be setup. As in, no more than 2 a week, and no discussing stuff involving shit like DBZ because it goes nowhere.

[TheSix]

No, Goku isn't broken. The Dragon Balls are. He would have never lived long enough to reach SS4 had he not been wished back a thousand times.

Dragon Balls > Death > Goku

How much of the Silver Age have you read junior? Pre-Crisis Superman had too many fucking broken abilities. Like I said, Supes time travels back to when Goku landed on Earth in little homo-pod and then crushes his head like fruit.

Yup. But that would involve the act of thinking about it first, in which Goku could instantly teleport right in front of him and own his ass for free during that time. Have you forgotten that Goku can read minds? From across the galaxy?

Pre-Crisis Superman could take the fight to outerspace. What would Goku do then? Goku's skin is only but so hard while Superman just won't feel anything. You also forget, that Pre-Crisis Superman can tilt a planet on its axis. He's a beast.


Also, seeing as how a mod or two will see this thread:

In before lock....?

[Hokuto no Jeffro]

Pre-Crisis Supes takes it, no doubt. I mean, there's really no discussion necessary.

[The Bucket Of Truth]

wheres rugal 3:16 or carpet lint to clear this up?

Then Thanos comes in and slaughters them both. :tup:

Tilt the planet's axis? Lol, Goku can destroy the galaxy accidentally while sleeping.
And how the hell could Superman take the fight to outerspace exactly? If it doesn't effect him, it won't effect Goku, who has fought and trained on ludicrously high gravity levels and conditions.

If the fight were to leave planet Earth, Goku would lead Superman to another galaxy. Then teleport back to the first one and destroy the galaxy with Supes in it with minimal effort.

Supes is a beast, but Goku is the ultimate beast, you can't beat him.

"PC" Superman actually came back from non-existence in the recent storyline by simply punching/tearing a hole in reality. I haven't read all of this, but it's what stood out to me as something interesting.

The saiyans in space is a troublesome issue, as the writers fucked that up on DBZ; in the flashback that showed how Freeza killed 99% of the race, they are shown in space with no protective suits.....and later on this is contradicted when Freeza decides to blow up Namek to "win" by forcing a situation where Goku, if not killed by the blast itself, would die due to a lack of a planet/atmosphere. There's also the problem that a lot of fans don't consider anything from the GT era as something that even counts, due to that part of the series sucking so much ass, and also having nothing to do with Toriyama. (*and I realize this potentially raises an interesting counterpoint about american comics characters no longer having involvement with their original creators either....but GT just sucks so hord...I think everyone prefers to pretend it just never happened.)

[AlphaDragoon02]

And this is why we don't have vs. polls.

But for the record, Goku at the end of GT could theoretically just wish Superman out of existence, since he does have the Dragon Balls (and assumably all of their powers) inside of his body. And that's the last I'll say on it. But Pre-Crisis Supes was broke as a joke too.

Now if you guys want a real interesting match-up, pit anyone in the Marvel/DC universe up against Fayt Leingod from Star Ocean 3. If you know of the "GIANT PLOT TWIST" in that game, then you know why he'd own most of them.

You still don't get it pea brain? Goku can't BREATHE in outerspace. Supes can. Pre-Crisis that is. Gravity and oxygen are two different things kiddo.

And to just show that Pre-Crisis Supes is beast: Millions post mentions Infinite Crisis. He PUNCHED holes IN REALITY!!! AND MADE HIS WAY BACK!!! TO NORMAL REALITY!

Now stop embarassing yourself junior. I've kept up with both while you were still learning how to read.
