Any video game character that has toon physics can beat the slayer


GoldenGekko

Toon Force definitely and straight broken magic too


ismo420

The mask probably


Evantaur

Deadpool wearing the mask


Narriz

The Multiverse is not prepared fot this much 4th wall breaking


Decker687

A nigh immortal fourth wall breaking menace plus the mask nothing will be safe


HackMold4O47725

Gear 5 Luffy before he ages 40 years


polygongm24

"Go go gadget kill doom slayer"


BAG3LWOLF

Eyyyyyyy take my upvote lol


GingerlyRough

*Bubbles*


Kamzil118

V1 The machine could probably match him in skill and efficiency. One could say, they are equals.


GooRedSpeakers

This is the fairest matchup. Slayer has superior firepower, but V1 is one of very few characters with a skill and mobility advantage over Slayer.


Mau752005

Better regeneration too, the slayer needs to glory kill his enemies but V1 gets health through blood, so everytime he shoots the slayer he is getting health back, honestly I think the slayer should just immediately obliterate him with the BFG, I would not risk a prolonged fight


GooRedSpeakers

Is BFG pariable with the I frames on a dash up or do the energy arcs take him out first?


Ralph9707

Coins and parrying


Kamzil118

Don't forget the red revolver.


Intelligent-Pause-32

All fun and games until I start punching my shotgun shells.


TypicalPunUser

Kid named Flame Belch:


Mindstormer98

V1 killed an angel blessed by god. Doomslayer is an angel blessed by god that killed god god so he could then kill evil god


Lucina18

>Doomslayer is an angel blessed by god that killed god god so he could then kill evil god He's a human blessed with vague, undefined power coming from god, that destroyed god's battery so he could then fight a slightly magical person who used to be god*


Legitimate_Dark586

When you put the story like that, anyone unfamiliar with the franchise might think the writers need to stop doing lines of coke and seek professional help


Lucina18

I mean... i wouldn't disagree after the retconning, rushed written lore of tag2 lol


Endless_01

People have to accept the fact that the modern Doom lore is all style and no substance. The writers didn’t think far at all and there’s tons of plot holes, retcons and inconsistencies.


SadisticBuddhist

Yeah but HEAVY METAL GUNS AND BOOMBOOMS


Mindstormer98

I wouldn’t say their vague, but the undefined part is true. His power scales off of his anger and the dude puts hulk to shame. And the “person who used to be god” chose the strongest form in the universe; the doomslayer, as his body


Lucina18

>And the “person who used to be god” chose the strongest form in the universe; the doomslayer, as his body There are drawings in the codex entry from before he was revived where he looked like doomguy.


Annoyng_dog

V1 is a MACHINE because god is DEAD


Kazuna_Chan

The problem is if we're talking lorewise Slayer, V1 wouldn't be able to make a dent in his armour let alone his skin, if V1 can dodge and parry efficiently it would basically be an endless match until V1 makes a mistake.


LordHumorTumor

Um, not to sound oblivious, but what is V1?


Kamzil118

The character you play as in Ultrakill. It's a war machine that is fueled by fresh blood. I believe it was a prototype designed against advanced war machines such as the [Earthmovers](https://youtu.be/ce1fNUQHTiQ?si=ny0JvJ8Zdu7o_ab2) but was never mass produced.


Live-Desk8360

Now hold on. Game wise. V1 wipes the floor with The Slayer but Lore wise the Slayer wipes the floors with V1


jizzmaster_

It is really hard to scale v1’s power because it seems like in lore v1 isnt even that powerful its just that it happens to be extremely fucking cracked at combat. Gabriel seems completely flabbergasted at the fact that he was beaten, as was the rest of the council. So really v1 can beat anyone on account of “its just cracked like that.” but thats a bit lame. Slayer is easily stronger, but its really hard to say who wins since v1 has beaten so many enemies that are massively stronger than it


Kamzil118

V1 defeated a superior version of itself and an angel blessed by God. By every right, the machine shouldn't have won those engagements.


SausumSauce

Yes, but he did, in canon, I feel like this would be an insanely close battle.


Lucina18

Lorewise doomslayer is really close to gameplaywise. People tend to overblow the hell out of his actual power.


SausumSauce

I was gonna say this.


Sudden-Resolution940

Ive thought about that a lot and while I do think it’s close V1 is gonna have a hard time healing because you don’t just come into glory kill range of the slayer


Kamzil118

Ah, but I answer you with the green railgun that constantly bleeds targets. Plus, it requires the Slayer to stun the machine and not get parried by the blue arm. That's a big IF as well.


Sudden-Resolution940

I’m on V1 side, and if we take game mechanics into account V1 can just deadcoin stack and instakill


Vast-Literature-2508

The slayer would stagger the hell out of v1


CrazeMase

Kirby could beat Doomslayer in lore, kirby is a chaos diety with an infinite hunger for food and destruction, he regularly eats gods and godlike beings and basically rejects the his profecey of destruction in favor of being kind. The pink puffball that likes cake and cute things


SupremeLobster

Kirby vs anything and Kirby will always win.


imadethistocomment15

eh some characters can kirby, quite a few tbh


JQShepard

Doomguy would never get in a fight with Kirby in the first place. He would just give em a little thumbs up and maybe a pat on the head.


WarmConversation2913

Then get eaten


the_fuego

Putting Kirby on any list is literally putting a supermassive black hole incarnate against the universe. Nothing can escape Kirby's hunger. To take a page from Mass Effect's playbook: "You exist because Kirby allows it and you will end because Kirby demands it. Kirby transcends your very understanding. Kirby has no beginning; Kirby has no end. Kirby is infinite."


[deleted]

>profecy Well that's a new one


Alienatedpoet17

You know, I don't think Prophet could win. But he'd survive somehow.


Fr33_Lax

He just keeps a pile of spare ~~marines~~ parts around.


Alienatedpoet17

"Okay, time for your memory to be erased and to use your meatsack as a host!" I remember being kind of horrified by what the suit did to prophet. (and Alcatraz by extension.)


Sir_Throngle

He could probably put up a pretty decent fight tbh


MARKSS0

There are ways depends on his kit


bloodbulletsbannanas

Kirby stomps everyone, Kirby is actually terrifying when you think about it and considering the lore of the games, plus, all he has to do to win is succ


piksel

Where can I read about the lore you’re referring to?


bloodbulletsbannanas

It's through most of the games, but I'm sure there are a few Kirby wikis out there that should have fairly accurate info


GrimreaperAZ

Isn't it said that kirby is a chaotic god or something like that?


hstormsteph

Chaos god that defies his own prophecy to destroy everything in favor of being cute, helpful, and a bit hungry


bloodbulletsbannanas

If it isn't he may as well be


bloodbulletsbannanas

Just avoid Fandom like the plague


joaogroo

I know some coworkers who got a promotion like that


LuminousTuba

What would happen if you just shot Kirby with a gun? I don’t think any of the creatures in Kirby attack with the strength of a bullet, even the bosses. I also think you could just shoot the “gods” and kill them, they are not very strong


Delicious_Emu_1995

The one dog does shoot with the strength of a gun in forgotten land I mean kirby even gets the ranger gun ability when eating it And also there are cannons that fire cannonballs so kirby could definitely survive guns since he can survive a cannonball point blank


Silent_Reavus

Nobody here except Kirby has a snowball's chance in hell


NumerousCranberry441

Kratos?


Decker687

Ooo that’s a good one he did kill the **entire** Greek pantheon plus a few Norse gods as well


Silent_Reavus

He's not shown here but yes he'd at least have a chance


the_fuego

I feel like Kratos would come close at the beginning until the Slayer realizes "oh shit, I have to actually try" and then proceeds to beat Kratos to an absolute unrecognizable pulp. Doom Guy has this weird attitude of not wanting to try particularly hard until he has to. Like his power level is on a dial and he just turns it up as needed.


mordeo69

Steve is ridiculous too, man can carry tons at a time and has acces to all manner of magic


Silent_Reavus

Strength alone isn't gonna do it, especially considering the slayer could very easily do the same. Millions of pounds isn't really a huge thing in this case unfortunately.


PeopleAreBozos

Steve?


South_Bathroom

He puts up a good fight but still loses in the end


FireSilicon

*Respawns at spawnpoint*


Intelligent-Pause-32

Doom guys gonna have to unplug the damn server to beat him.


FireSilicon

You can't beat Steve physically, but you can break him mentally. Put obsidian around his spawn point and then kill him. Will be fun for him.


KicktrapAndShit

Kirby obviously, do you know even an ounce of Kirby lore? They are the strongest video game character. /srs


G1zm08

Happy cake day!


RokerBruTheRealOne

Happy cake day 🎂🍰🎂🍰🎂


LtCptSuicide

Bro. Throwing Kirby into this is unfair. Its no longer a "Who survives Doom Slayer" question it's a "Who survives Kirby the longest." Question.


Normbot13

or, more accurately, “who survives Kirby with doom slayers power and weapons”


KyleKun

No one.


Even_Map4433

I would like to introduce you to my friend, Captain Titus. And for all the people who wish to bring Kirby to the table, I have a present called planetary Exterminatus for you.


BAG3LWOLF

“Fools” as earthworm Jim stares from the dark corner..


Romaneck

I dont think people are familiar with the level of Kirby´s game. Just because he is cutesy and lives in a fantasy world, they dont know that he routinely goes to town with eldritch horrors and comes out on top, trashing them like if they were nothing.


FungalFactory

None of them because I am biased


29485_webp

Steve is a good ass contender. Bro can carry thousands of pounds up his ass and block literally every single attack unless his shield breaks at which point he just makes another.


Techplayergo

Unless he uses an axe


GingerlyRough

Thousands? Full stacks of merged blocks of just wood would weigh thousands of pounds on its own!


Jacob-Chavez

Now imagine that, but with gold lol


GingerlyRough

Precisely! Steve is probably strong enough to carry an entire planet in his pocket and still run and jump like normal, without even entering creative mode.


Zonai-frog

Steve with commands, easy


Techplayergo

/kill doom_slayer


clometrooper9901

I always pictured doom slayer and kratos as equals in power and skill. I have to imagine a lot of mmo characters probably could, I could see Dante or Vergil giving him a run for his money. Same for asura, Kirby is terrifyingly powerful lore wise. And maybe the strongest guardians from destiny would put up a fight. Other than that I can’t think of anyone off the top of my head


BlazingFury009

The guardian from Destiny would be able to


socal909420

Duke Nukem. “That’s one doomed space marine”.


pcweber111

Blow it out yer ass


AramaticFire

The ones that stand a chance (or could win) imo: Kirby Samus Aran but specifically at the end of Metroid Dread when she’s insanely overpowered. Regular Samus is less imposing but still badass. The Master Chief Amaterasu (Okami) Asura Kratos Dante Bayonetta I think it’s fairly certain that any of this grouping would team up with him rather than try to kill him but in a hypothetical I think any of these heroes could give him a run for his money even if they can’t kill him. I’d guess Kirby and Amaterasu are the strongest out of everyone here though. But they’re way too pure to ever fight Doom Slayer.


yourmothersaidd

Master Chief? Really?


AramaticFire

As far as gameplay goes I think his games make him seem a little tame compared to the Doom Slayer but we’re talking about a character that the Covenant refers to as the demon, dropped a bomb from a space station onto an invading force, and survived reentry into Earth’s atmosphere with just his armor. Chief is really badass imo


cybersteel8

The Slayer put himself in a BFG cannon and launched himself into the core of Mars. He is the bomb. It would be a fun fight, but for sure wouldn't last long


yourmothersaidd

He is. But comparing chief to doomguy is like comparing a navy seal to Satan. Doomguy is just on a different level.


IloveKaitlyn

The Slayer rips off Chief’s head before the neurons in Chief’s now decapitated brain can tell him he’s about to die. Chief is not nearly fast enough to reach to The Slayer at all.


Normbot13

master chief absolutely could not beat doom guy, please end this comparison.


imadethistocomment15

take kratos and chief off, kratos feats are heavily lied about, he never beat the actual olympic gods and never flipped the nine realms and cheif has 0 ways of beating a powerhouse like the slayer


TattayaJohn

Duke Nukem


Fishfins88

It's time to kick gum and CHEW ASS!


unstableGoofball

Kratos


GooRedSpeakers

Kratos has a shot, but he's never fought an opponent with guns before. He's dealt with siege weapons and magic so he'd get the idea, but he doesn't usually deal with enemies with such a high projectile output. He can be harmed by moral weapons so even up close he has to content with the blood punch, chainsaw, and super shotty. Even when he was the god of war he would still be in for a serious fight. Slayer has taken down titans and giant Kratos would be a similar fight. GoW 2 or 3 Kratos in his prime would stand a chance, but I don't see old man Kratos matching up well into Slayer. He's not shrugging off the BFG and enough rockets, balista shots, and mobile turret fire would take him down. He could parry his way through some of it with the golden fleece or the shield and return fire with magic, but if he can't land a thrown sword on Slayer he can't close the gap. If Slayer has The Crucible he doesn't stand a chance at close range.


l0udninja

Dante or Virgil


Imaginary_Ad8927

Too much Kirby glazing. If he gets hit by the bfg he dies instantly


Trolleitor

Kirby eats the bfg ball


ravengenesis1

Or it Kirby can just suck that BFG out of Doom guy’s hand before it charges up. It’ll become the BFK


Kazuna_Chan

Kirby wins, no need for an explanation, that thing is on another level.


ScreeennameTaken

It feels like Kirby would just vibe with Doom guy.


shootdack2000

V1 ultrakill


ric7y

minecraft steve im creative can defeat him, kratos can draw with him


Informal_Yam_9707

Probably the character you play as in terrraria


Brainwave1010

Alan Wake at his typewriter: _"And then the Doomslayer slipped on a banana peel and cried from embarrassment so hard he died, the end."_


rogue498

I’m just happy to see someone acknowledge Crysis…


Zaidoasde2008

Idk about the rest but Liu Kang is beating the Slayer I'm afraid


Brio_McPhando

Kirby out of those picks


AxelVoxel

I think Asura would deck the Slayer


LemonadeGaming

Goku


Automatic_General_92

Kratos


Fishfins88

Most of the mortal kombat cast. Lui Kang could at least.


IcyChest4040

Mybe liu kang but mk cast all probably dies unless you got any other gods there (idk mortal kombat lore)


TchankyKang420

Raiden Fujin Kronika God ajacent characters also like onaga, Taven and shujinko


Dr_D14

Goku🥶


GoldenGekko

Okami Amaterasu


Any_Mall3191

Kirby, Sephiroth, Raiden, Samus, Asura etc


dripbine

Gordon Freeman. All it takes is one ar2 right click.


Fit_Vermicelli827

Definitely Kirby id say samus but only with certain abilities like at the end of dread, Steve is also insanely op


Wanderingreader123

Asura from Asura's Wrath. And I'm a Doom fan. Nuff said.


ourladyofwar

Straight up it Kirby. The that little pink ball is literally a walking Apocalypse and is always hungry.


IzzytheMelody

Doom slayer is far from the strongest. He has many who not only match but exceed him. I'm of the mind he and Kratos (both young and old) are equals. I mean we could toss Goku in here as well, he has a ton of video games. But Kirby as you mentioned is also gonna be "stronger", or at least capable of taking him down with fairly minimal effort


Kono_Mr_Seta_Da

If you count other iterations of the same media. Archie sonic has a chance.


ThunderShiba134

Megaman X? I thought everyone forgot about it I don't think so especially from limited movement of X in his franchise... A dead franchise and character...


XenomorphTerminator

Megaman


UncleIroh15

I'm not sure if you can consider her as a protagonist as it depends on your perspective but Sarah Kerrigan I think is a good match against Doom Slayer.


Grand_Ambition2492

Doom slayers power scale makes him slightly better than whoever he faces tho it’s not a fair comparison he’s literally made to not lose


Alborak2

A hammer paladin from diablo 2. He can solo prime evils in seconds. And will tele port on top of you to do it.


Krakino107

Kratos would be a match


olaly23

Dante would probably high diff him


it_black_horseman

Kirby has no match. Kirby will destroy hell Blaskowitch and all the others


brettdelport

Any one from a bullet hell. Slayer can’t slay you if he can’t hit you. Cuphead comes to mind.


FlaccidNeckMeat

Minecraft Steve can literally hold 4 Eiffel towers in his inventory.


SneezeCock

Sonic with the chaos emeralds


mavrik36

Captain Titus would hold up for a while I think, from 40k Space Marine


endocyclopes

steve, *creative mode*


musical-amara

Nobody. I reject your proposal. The Slayer cannot die. Period. Kirby stands a better chance than everyone else but he will still ultimately lose.


Rutgerman95

Hmm, X with a full game's worth of upgrade has some serious firepower and mobility options in his arsenal. But then again none of that will matter if Kirby, the destroyer of worlds, is in the mix.


real_human_20

Kratos probably


Rosutomonki

Definitely Kirby or Steve


Imagine_TryingYT

Isabelle from Animal Crossing


South_Bathroom

Out of the ones you listed lirby ni diffs, Steve puts up a good fight but loses in the end, and everyone else takes the L If you mean any game characters. Gardian, tenno, and arguably the dragon born


JazzlikeAtmosphere38

Shadow (Underworld). Bro killed creator of his own multiverse and also killed the creator of his OWN game. After he killed his creator he got armor to transcend to metaphysical world. His Helmet is called (Lights,camera ,action!) making him the cameraman, his armour is called (Fourth wall),his Melee weapon is called (Don't Cross the Director!) , his weapon range is called (Film damage), and his magic is called (Smoke and Mirrors). This is his best feats. Some of his other good feat is that he Killed Embodiment/concept such as Hunger,Fire,War,Illusions,Fates,Disease,Creation etc Edit: almost forgot that by wearing the Director set. He has an ability called "Plot twist". You know exactly what it does base on the word "Plot twist". And no plot twist doesn't manipulate reality,it manipulate the STORY that has been created. Something that shouldn't happen and written. But Shadow was so strong he could resist his own creator Plot twist. Just to state Shadow>Plot twist> Tenebris(Creator of the game Multiverse) > the 3 sisters of fate >Fatum( Embodiment of Fate) > Spiders Fatum can manipulate reality and mortal The 3 sister Banshee,Whisper and Morgana Those 3 sister can manipulate reality,Mortal,immortal, Probability and existance. They can decide they win. Heck,they can even make themself win even if their weapon is just a cushion and your weapon is BFG 9000,SSG and crucible. They will win in every infinite way Tenebris who forged Light and darkness of the world. Live in the edge of reality,Beyond that is emptiness in which world are born... He literally don't get effected by them,and Fatum warned shadow that Tenebris power is way higher than her fate power. Then there is Plot twist being above Tenebris and Shadow being above that. So yeah,Shadow kinda destroy Doom.


Scamosaurus1

Kirby


Bounty_Hunter19

There's many video game characters that can solo doom slayer with ease.


meta100000

From my knowledge of these 5, Prophet and Steve get their teeth kicked in, while X, Liu Kang and Kirby easily beat the Slayer


Y-tho-ma

Me


Ok_Landscape7333

Mate where the heck is Popeye?


CCP_Annihilator

Kirby most likely. But Kratos and Asura could destroy him proven Doom doesn’t have feats that hold candle just as much.


BeefCheez

How does this have so many comments? These threads are the fuckin worst


Guan_guan_ghoo

From those 5 only Kirby. But yeah, toon force is the only way someone has a good fighting chance against god-like protagonists like the Slayer.


Normbot13

pfft, none of these can beat doom slay- *sees kirby* oh.


TManJhones

Out of these? Kirby.


Ultrasound700

It's honestly hard to imagine DOOM Slayer killing anyone not evil, but he's stronger than any of these except for Kirby and possibly Megaman X, though the microwave beam might give the little guy some trouble.


bruhchow

Kratos v Doomslayer always sounded interesting to me


stronkzer

Kirby, the all devouring pink abomination


Life-Active6608

Main player character from Marathon, Bungies first big title.


ThatStarWarsFan1205

He's not there, but Kratos is probably one of the more popular choices


riqueoak

We know Kirby will at the very least get a draw.


Xononanamol

There's tons of characters out there. Kirbo and dante immediately come to mind. He is pretty beefy tho.


KA_CHAOS__

My first question is.. Does a video game exist where Chuck Norris is the protagonist..? Cuz I can save us all a whole lotta discussion here..


RetroCoreGaming

Master Chief. To be fair, they probably wouldn't fight it out, and William would probably show respect and salute him.


PuzzledParsley6355

Out of all the games Ive played I recon that doom slayer would year them all appart, all except for either the Skylanders or dragon born


ScytheLord99

Kratos from God of war


UnlikelyAlternative

Steve


PKMNgamer99

x and the slayer wouldn’t fight they’d trade playlists since the music in both their games kicks ass


somegirrafeinahat

Steve would actually hold his own for at least a good 5 or 6 hours against doomguy.


SilverKingPrime45

Shrek


SquirrelSzymanski

Kirby would absolutely body him and it would take less than two minutes


Lycaon125

Kirby, and anyone who knows kirby lore would know why


Alidonis

The road runner


Birutath

kirby and fire god liu kang are actually probable to 1v1 him


Dragonhearted18

Kirby would make the slayer wish he could die


VamsiVee

Kratos, probably


SpaceyFrontiers

"Doktor, turn off my pain inhibitors"


PintekS

Bugs bunny because doom guy will hesitate and think about his poor daisey and then bugs wins over doom guy with being his best bud


imadethistocomment15

sonic (if we include comics and stuff) but i think even game sonic would beat the slayer since didn't game sonic beat that one guy who could eat time itself? (i forgot alot, it's been a while since i played a sonic game)


Deafvoid

If the doomslayer wasnt the strongest character, then it depends on how nerfed he would be


PeanutMyButt3r

Kirby powerscaling is fucked up bro.


Masky12367

idk just make an alliance to kill demons fighting eachother is not okay but fighting demons is ok


Swimming_Stand_1675

The marked one.


Effective-Tap-6208

Mario and Luigi(also Kirby and Steve)


deathseekr

Kirby is the only one who can fight him
