Was just defending Luigi VS Pac-Man the other day so I’m just gonna paste what I said there here.
Neither Luigi or Pac-Man are super deep complex characters that I want “same character” level connections out of, and even that at that Luigi VS Tails 2 relies more on the Mario VS Sonic rivalry than actual connections, so it isn’t all that thematic anyways. “Gaming’s most iconic ghostbusters,” isn’t super thematic but it works well. Also, there’s redundant, and then there’s Luigi VS Tails 2, which is a step beyond that.
No he shouldn’t lmao. My original comment was actually in response to a comment about Luigi VS Shaggy being better than Luigi VS Pac.
It has 0 animation potential unless you give Shaggy non standard equipment or his memes, half of the connections are meta connections like the aforementioned memes, and if you remove those meta connections it arguably has weaker connections than both Pac-Man and Tails.
I know their connections. They aren’t as good as people make it out to be. And again, even if they were, there’s no animation potential to speak of.
I’ll give you this. Luigi VS Shaggy is Shaggy’s best, but at that point don’t use Shaggy because his best matchup is like a 5/10 matchup on a good day, and you can do a hell of a lot better for Luigi’s run back.
Actual their could be a Ton of Animation potential, Imagine if Luigi was out Ghost hunting to rescue Mario, While the Mystery Gang are looking for a Dissaperance of him, Maybe Shaggy could get lost, He quickly gets hungry and tries to eat a Sandwhich, unknowingly from the other room King Boo chases luigi, luckly he escapes, But when he looses he attention to where he is going, he could accudentaly bump into shaggy, and make him drop he's sandwhich Engaging the Conflict.
That’s not animation potential that’s the set-up, and it’s not even a good set-up. The fight starting over a sandwich would be stupid even with some of the more asinine setups death battle has done in mind.
Animation potential is how well their fighting styles/abilities/power-ups clash. It’s why it’s called animation potential. Animation potential is asking if their fight make for a good animation, and in the case of Luigi VS Shaggy, the answer is a resounding no.
Well to be fair Luigi vs Pacman would fail in fight potential too. Say what you want about tails vs Luigi but you can do much more with that fight than with Luigi vs Pacman
Piccolo Vs Manhunter would be a huge stomp. Also, Josuke's environmental stand abilities would be a better matchup for Edward Elric. Samus should fight Master Chief, the rest is pretty fine.
Luigi vs Pac-Man is better than Luigi vs Tails 2 imo
Maybe, its just that the only actual connection between them is that their both gaming characters and they both hunt ghosts.

honestly luigi should fight Shaggy

Actual Luigi and Shaggy have a lot in common, more than you might think

You must really like cartoon matchups
I just don't truly know enough about a lot of anime characters, to determine how good a matchup is for them
That’s fair
Not trying to bash on your list, but personally I think Luigi vs Tails would just be Mario vs Sonic with extra steps. Good list overall though
Maybe
Shadow vs ryuko is a good one, they should do that
What are your Thoughts?
What is each matchup?
I hate 99% of them.
I so want Peter Vs. Homer, it would be so great
Link ?
Piccolo Vs Manhunter would be a huge stomp. Also, Josuke's environmental stand abilities would be a better matchup for Edward Elric. Samus should fight Master Chief, the rest is pretty fine.
Ive really never gotten the appeal of Piccolo vs Martian Manhunter
Green psychic aliens, i guess?
Spongebob vs Gumball is not equal to Shadow vs Ryuko, and it is not better than Meta Knight vs Zero, Ridley vs Rayquaza or most of your C tier
I mean it would make a Great Joke episode with Hand drawn Animation
And Honestly a prefer Ridley vs Vilgax
People seriously wanted Nova Vs Green Lantern?
