Goku VS Superman UPDATE

1/2/13 2:15pm

Hey guys, we wanted to give you an update on Goku VS Superman. we've seen a lot of comments and questions, and we hate to keep you guys in the dark.

For those that don't know, ever since Zelda VS Peach we hired Jordan Lange, a talented animator, to build the fight animations we write. He does not work in our office, in fact he doesn't even live in the same state as us. While we'd love to have an animator in house, Lange was without a doubt our best option. He's an incredibly skilled animator whose skills and experience fit DEATH BATTLE like a glove. In addition, this fight is being built in 3D, so Lange has had a giant task of building cities, landscapes, character models and animating moves and effects.

Why was it delayed?
One reason: the fight sequence. Every other part has been 100% complete since before the 21st. However, we wrote an incredibly epic fight, which Lange has been working on since October. In pre-production, we were assured that a December 21st release date would be plenty of time to get the animation done. While Lange's original deadline 2 weeks prior was missed, up until a few days before release Lange assured us that we would absolutely have the fight on time. We all agreed that we needed to make this episode perfect for you guys, and cutting corners was not an option, so we were happy to give whatever time he needed before the 21st. Lange didn't want to let the fans down with a delay and was busting his ass to make it as awesome as it needs to be. However, there were some issues which caused unforeseen problems. So when the time came, the animation was not complete. NO ONE wanted this to be up on the 21st more than the three of us, but again, we refused to cut corners. You guys deserve better than that. In the end, we all decided the second half of the fight needed to be reanimated, which is what Lange has been working on day and night.

So when is it coming out?
It's almost complete. Unfortunately, Lange's animation methods make it hard for him to give us an exact completion date, only a vague estimate. So, before we give you a release date, we want to be sure beyond any shadow of a doubt that you will absolutely 100% get the episode on that date.  The next update from us will be THE release date for Goku VS Superman (and it will be very soon). When you see the episode, you'll see just how much work has been put into this fight.

Thank you all SO MUCH for your patience and support.

Sincerely,
Wiz & Boomstick

The ultimate rivalry..... Shadow The Hedgehog VS Sonic The Hedgehog!!!!!!!!! This battle has hundreds if not thousands of epic youtube pokemon online game videos of this battle. Now... we need to find out who would actually win. And don't just use their superforms... go dark Sonic/Shadow.

Everyone saying "just be patient, give these guys time to work, no need to bite their heads off, the finished product is gonna be worth the wait, etc" need to remember that Death Battle and ScrewAttack make money off of your traffic. Every day that passes and this isn't released, everyone that visits this site adds dollars to this website's total revenue. Do you feel right knowing that you're making a company richer for not turning out a product?

Nevermind the fact that the sneak preview for this particular work still hasn't been released outside of Advantage to help quell the cries of fanboys wanting SOMETHING - wouldn't be a far cry to claim that it's staying in Advantage to get the antsy Goku vs Superman audience to shell out $3.95 per month for that sliver of extra content. This is sketchy business to say the least!

well said. people have bitched me out for making the same point only less intelligently and more furiously. facts are facts, when you charge for content then you as a company are obligated to deliver on whatever product your supposed to be producing. if there was no advantage program then i as well would just wait and hope. but i have payed for three months specificly because goku vs superman waiting so fuck you free members cause i payed 12 bucks and still haven't Sean the battle i wanted yet, that i was promised about a month ago.

Who cares if they're making money. Does it come out of your pocket? Look, there are 3 guys who make these videos and 1 who does ALL THE ANIMATIONS! This is going to be the best fight they've ever animated and they want it perfect and it's in 3d like the link/cloud battle. And who really cares about the sneak preview? Really? If you care so much then maybe it is worth $3.95 a month. This is a free business that has pumped out more good episodes than most television networks and hasn't asked for anything in return. Stop whining.

Actually to be technical they make money by companies paying the owners of screwattack.com to advertise certain products on the website. The more popular the website, the more of an audience these companies think they can reach. With that knowledge they are willing to pay more money to put their advertisements on screwattack.com. They don't make a certain amount of money for every post. Actually them not releasing Goku vs. Superman is hurting them because they know people are getting pissed and not coming back to the website. Me personally I only watch deathbattle. Im patient but others are not. If you are going to argue the private incentive than know what your talking about. Your coming off as a corporate conspiracy theorist. I understand your frustrated. We all are to a certain extent. But believe me this isn't a corporate conspiracy theory.
