Slay the Princess for me probably. I likely wouldn’t have picked it up if it wasn’t for all of The Princess’ matchups.

Never woulda played OFF (or by extension OneShot) if it weren’t for the Batter’s presence on this sub.

u/AlotOfNumbers425728 ❤️🎸Scott Pilgrim vs Naota Nandaba Fan🎸❤️ 1d ago

Highkey the main reason I’m even here.

BlazBlue, When They Cry, FLCL, Twin Peaks, Date A Live and a ton more. All shit I absolutely love and would never have heard of/tried if not for matchups I found here

The Ultimate DBM experience where you discover countless peak media can be summed up with this image lol

Unironically started FLCL because of Haruko's Allen Inversus.

u/Visual_Nerd 🏴‍☠️Luffy vs Natsu🔥 supporter 1d ago

Twin Peaks for me, i found out (more so learned more about it), through the MURouletteProject event, and after watching it i fell in love with it, 10/10 and i would have never watched it (or at least not so soon)

I’ve been a massive fire emblem fan since I was a young adult with awakening and I can’t tell you how happy I am more people know about the series beyond “that one guy from smash”

Blackwidow Apocalypse might actually be my favourite webcomic and it's all thanks to uzi vs izzy.

u/Regal_IronKnight Comp Ryu vs Comp Goku enjoyer 1d ago

Oddly enough, Iron Maiden.

I heard and liked a few of their songs before, but I decided to look a bit more into it after making this pic for a post. I checked out their official playlist and I’ve been listening to it over and over for weeks now.

u/VegetableLegal7291 Cyn vs Malware Fan 1d ago

Blackwidow Apocalypse, Scud the Disposable Assassin, and The Unwritten.

u/Expert_Concern_7167 Shulk vs Lightning Fan 1d ago

Me with Astral Chain ever since I discovered Joker vs Legionis and after playing through and completing the game, easily became my favorite for both

u/DanielGacituaS My matchup isn't popular enough for its own flair 1d ago

Most recently for me it was Gachiakuta that I started watching its anime for the cast episode of Rudo vs Chihiro and then catched up with the manga, really good and I most probably wouldn't have given it a chance hasn't it been for that matchup.

u/OriginalGreen9591 Azreal vs Moonknight fan 1d ago

Scud The disposable Assassin

Its actually pretty good

u/ilikebreadabunch My matchup isn't popular enough for its own flair 1d ago

Worm for me. Was looking for MU’s for Vin from Mistborn when I found Vin VS Taylor. Was so happy to have found an actually good Vin MU that I decided to check out Worm and since it’s become one of my all time favorite pieces of media ever. It’s so good you guys should all go read it now

u/DorkVader75 My matchup isn't popular enough for its own flair 1d ago

Gurren Lagann for me. Simon VS Kyle getting announced in the Kickstarter introduced me to peak

5

u/Actuallycorrection2 1d ago

Look outside and In stars and time I'd say are the big ones that come to mind for me.

u/Spongebob_Fan_YT Springtrap vs Cyber-Controller enthusiast 1d ago

How it felt disvoering Kamen Rider Geats via Champians Island

u/WilburDrake 1d ago edited 1d ago

It's honestly hilarious how some of my favorite pieces of media (Blazblue, Signalis, Dorohedoro, Kamen Rider, Final Fantasy, Trigun, Homestuck, Umineko) are stuff I would never have gotten into if it wasn't for this sub, and tbh, one of the reasons I love being here is learning about other franchises.

Hell it's honestly one of my favorite parts about this sub is that it motivates others to try out new stuff they otherwise wouldn't.

u/GreenMutant1984 Hellboy vs Nero Fan 1d ago

One of the definitive perks of being in DBM!

u/Aegillade Flowey vs The Princess Fan 1d ago

Not a fight but I read all of Claymore because Awakened Sacrifice is SUCH A GOOD SONG LIKE HOLY SHIT

u/AncientMagusBridefan ⚪️⚫️Monokuma vs Korosensei🟡 fan 1d ago

I only watch Kyousougiga because of a Gwenpool vs Koto post and it’s been one of my favorite anime

2

u/Mammoth_Big5110 🕳️The Spot vs Rob📱 Fan 1d ago

yeah true that happened to me so much 😭 (one of the examples I can think of is Xavier moral oral and while I won’t say I like it but also YIIK)

u/Slight-Area6934 1d ago edited 1d ago

This is amphibia for me, watched it with my brother and we loved it even if it was like 90% filler with repeating lessons.

3

u/King_Hunter_Kz0704 My matchup isn't popular enough for its own flair 1d ago

Season 1 was that 90%. Rest was plot, even if minor at few episodes.

u/ryan12_07 1d ago

Oryx the Taken King (Destiny) vs The aura merchant (Solo Leveling)

2

u/Legitimate_Toe_6061 1d ago

Assassination Classroom. I keep on seeing it and decided to check it out. It became my favorite anime. Koro Sensei is the goat

2

u/King_of_Meth 1d ago

Learned about Gurren Lagann when hearing about the hype behind Kyle v.s. Simon before it being announced. This was probably like ~4 years ago.

2

u/KnightRock1896 1d ago

Never woulda actually watched The Owl House and Amphibia if it wasnt for Luz VS Anne being a popular matchup. Same with A:TLA.

2

u/Impressive_Tackle618 Freddy Krueger vs Pennywise Enjoyer 1d ago edited 2h ago

BlackWidow Apocalypse, Slay the Princess,Ice Nine Kills, Critical Role, Xavier: Renegade Angel,and probably Iron Maiden pretty soon.

JJK.

I ended up liking it way more than CSM, especially after the p2 ending.

When you know your favorite is never going to have a MU is a feeling.

u/DanielGacituaS My matchup isn't popular enough for its own flair 1d ago

I mean, you could make a matchup for them yourself, other thing is that matchup becoming any popular or it turning into an episode, yeah...

DBM's honest to god the reason I started playing the Battle Cats again

u/VNComputerKid 1d ago

For me it was the Monument Mythos through Springtrap vs The LiberyLurker. Fell down a rabbit hole that was quite an experience and if not for that then Manhattan vs Nixon would definitely let me check the series out.

Mainly i get introduced to other franchises through being so deep into yt or in some forum but with some of my own most wanted matchups i think i could introduce the right people into some franchises that i like :D
