User blog:AdamGregory03/Match-Up Charts

So recently there's a new trend that's been trying to start but has been rather flawed. That being the Death Battle Match-Up Charts, which originally started when Ben Singer himself posted a chart as to why he chose Shadow to be Mewtwo's opponent over Frieza and Silver.

I make this blog as a sort of middle ground for the people who enjoy and dislike these charts. Those who like them and like making them can still post them on the wiki, while those who don't can simply just ignore this blog.

However, with that said, there are some criteria I want to put in place for this.

Make your points factual, not subjective. Just because you think a match-up has better connections than another match-up does not mean people can't prefer the "worse" match-ups. Make sure your ideal match-up isn't just ideal in your opinion and that the similarities really are there. And even then, still don't belittle the other match-ups just for the sake of belittling them.

Actually look into characters/the match-ups: Far too often people just belittle characters or match-ups in their charts without actually knowing a damn thing about them, making them come off as ignorant (Looking at you, ShadowStorm). Basically either do each match-up as much justice as possible or don't do it at all.

Try to limit yourself to a character's three most popular match-ups: While there's nothing wrong with preferring an underrated fight, there's also nothing wrong with a match-up being more popular. For the most part try to make it about the three most popular match-ups, and if an idea is underrated, don't be a hipster about it.
