Debate My Take On Hulk vs Godzilla

u/actuallycorrection Sans vs The Judge Supporter Jul 28 '25
Respect to anyone who can understand stuff about Ultima,since the more I hear about him the more confusing it gets.
Good job on this

Agreed, though, I feel for Hulk because he is just that ridiculously strong and tough, yet against Ultima"s literal laundry list of haxes, it feels like Hulk is Achilles and Ultima is the arrow for composite Godzilla (rooting for Godzilla though so I'm not complaining)

u/donteven0809 Jul 28 '25
Except that arrow is getting buffed and Achilles is getting nerfed in this discussion

They literally said they wouldn't do it due to potential toxicity, but I guess since everyone is preoccupied with disrespecting Deku as a character the HulkZilla toxicity was no longer a problem.

u/Infinite-Sun7000 Hulk Vs Godzilla Fan Jul 28 '25
Not really they didn't do it because Hulkzilla had too much material. The toxicity was a minor reason.

- Godzilla in Hell "Debunk" (yeah I have swapped on "Beyond the Concept of Dimensions" scaling, see Simon and Medaka)
- High Hyper Justification #%22It%22)
- High Outer Justification
- Godzilla Resistances
Edit: Thanks to u/Infinite-Sun7000 for help with the Godzilla Ultima stuff and the hax for the other Godzillas
Edit 2: Thanks to both the previously mentioned Infinite-Sun and a few for mentioning this, remove "Time Travel" as a wincon, that dose not work on Hulk (though outlast and "You are 0-D now should both be fine")

Hey it's your boi Infinite-Sun! The reasoning is because Hulk possess paradoxical existence, which can resists time travel and being erased out of history and is stated to be the only being to resist the repetitive alterations to The Timestream, along with its temporal cancer as well. The Chronarchist were manipulating Hulk's personal timeline, to the point that it would change him to other Hulk personas he had built up, and even "squaring" himself when getting hit with another Gamma Bomb; all these retroactive changes would later be reverted once Banner got a hold of Gamma Radiation and used it (either that or Hulk got angry enough to revert back).

Should have giving him "Attack Reflection" based on that but beyond that he added nothing important (or that most godzilla's have as a base)

Sensing other monsters (Extrasensory Perception) and giving birth to under building level creatures mid fight to me wasn't a big enough hax to put on there (same reason Earth's creatures we're also not mentioned).
IT's creatures mentioned due to them possibly having similar regeneration to Ultima

Basically I just no longer think "Beyond Concept of Dimensions" is enough to fully justify Low Outer to Outer (now think there should be a bit more to justify, as if not I know take it as "1-D higher than the base cosmology"), plus my iffiness on the scan for PR specifically (it seeming to be a leading question)

Then it isn't a true composite, which DB should and are using. Also, both the original and new Marvel runs are in the 616 universe

u/Equivalent-End-7641 My matchup isn't popular enough for its own flair Jul 28 '25
This using a soft composite for Godzilla though it dose not really matter (though I probably should have thrown stuff like the Non-Crossover Games, even though they add almost nothing).
Also did DB say they are using full composite (as the only time they really did that is for joke episodes or jokes in episodes, or Spawn vs Batman (which can be argued cannon on Spawn's side). Even if so I feel they would not include Marvel stuff for Godzilla, as to avoid something like "While Goku outstats, 'Dream 9 Toriko & One Piece & Dragon Ball Z Super Collaboration Special', SSJ3 and Gear 4 where narratively implies to be equal, so Gear 5 beats Buu Saga Goku" type logic.
Side Note: By not cannon I mean "Not cannon to a version of Godzilla" like how Zone Fighter and the IDW stuff is fine.

u/WoodpeckerOk7370 That's right Boomstick! Jul 28 '25
In The DB Cast of Donkey Kong vs King Kong, they lowkey pretty much confirmed that Godzilla would be a Self-Composite (as they were talking about if King Kong got in DB), so I think this list you made is accurate

It doesn’t and Hulk scales massively above that Galactus (also no Goji has no feats that put him on Galactus level)

It does. Godzilla is also directly compared to a well fed Galactus as well. Silver Surfer is also shit scared of Ghidorah who Godzilla beats and he also killed a full power Thor.
It isn't hard to accept that both Marvel and Toho think Godzilla is stronger than your green man.

Actually those comics do actually take place within the 616 Timeline IIRC
That being said though that was a EARLIER version of the Hulk, and the current one is FAR FAR stronger than he was here

They can take part of the same reality and still be not canon (also every reality in marvel has infinitely branching timelines) but fair and thank you for acknowledging that using comics from SIXTY YEARS ago is pointless

Hasn't it essentially been confirmed (For both OG series and recent) that Marvel Godzilla is just Showa Godzilla? In that case, I'd place the Marvel runs in the semi-composite too, with Heisei upscaling every one of his feats.

Kumonga (and probably the rest) have an argument for having similar Information regeneration as Ultima, so basically just annoy the ever loving crap out of Hulk.
I did not know what I would qualify as "Countering/Negating Summons" (like do I go by the power itself or what comes out), so I put ???

u/PhoneNo8448 Jul 31 '25
Hulk should win via scaling to the Kabbalah tree of life and the meta narrative of Eternity.
In the context of the VS Battle Wiki tiering system, which categorizes beings or entities based on their power and the scope of their abilities, Tier 0 is defined as:
Entities who are completely transcendent over any and all forms of hierarchical extension. More specifically: They not only encompass the collection of all possible "qualities" represented by High 1-A+, but also exceed it utterly, existing beyond any and all distinctions between ontologies and any division between objects. They are beyond differentiation, changeless, indivisible, ineffable, self-sufficient and completely unsurpassable.
If a universe is truly ineffable, meaning it transcends description and comprehension, it aligns with the requirement of being beyond differentiation and conventional understanding.
This attribute shows an existence that encompasses all possible states of being, which could indeed be seen as transcending the usual hierarchical structures of power or existence since it includes everything and its opposites, thus having no true opposition or limitation within itself.
By containing all contradictions and truths, this universe would not fit into a traditional hierarchy. It would exist outside of any hierarchical extension, where 'higher' or 'lower' has no meaning.
A universe that embodies all truths and contradictions would by definition be self-sufficient and unsurpassable by anything else, as it would include all possible forms of existence. Hulk scales to this via TOAA/TOBA.

Very in depth, good job!
As far as Godzilla’s wincons go, I don’t really agree with hulk being affected by time manipulation stuff since he’s already “punched through a time storm” (comics get weird). I also strongly disagree with the idea that Godzilla would just outlast hulk; hulk has specifically stated that he does not tire, and so long as he’s getting angrier, he’ll keep going. The dimensions hax stuff is troublesome for hulk though

Godzilla will explode if he absorbs too much radiation, destroying the second brain near his tail will paralyze him.
Hulk exploded with only a skeleton left, and has seemingly healed immediately.
Hulk has a superior healing factor.
Hulk broke the unbreakable chain of eternity used on him by the Eldest that was made from The First Firmament, a primordial cosmic being who was the original incarnation of the cosmos itself before the Multiverse was created, and was endowed with power on a scale comparable to, or greater than, that of Eternity).
It is stated that Hulk is the mightiest than other characters in the world and there is no limit to his power. This means Hulk is more powerful than both Thor and Hercules.

Marvel is connected to the Godzilla cosmology because they had a crossover so Godzilla in hell should just upscale it
God mountain is also confirmed to be absolut infinitely which is highe outerversal and Godzilla in hell beat him and then absorbed his power
If you want to you could say God mountain created the idw megaverse so Godzilla in hell should up scale all of IDW

u/VoidedGreen047 Jul 28 '25 edited Jul 28 '25
Confused on your logic of Hulk being high outer but being unable to reach Ultima. By its very definition as defined by the scaling system, this is an impossibility. For what it’s worth, It seems like you’re using the VSBW 1-A scaling standard I presume? Also, why are we scaling Zilla to outerversal? Attempts to do so on VsBW have been debunked a fair number of times. Might it change in the future? Sure, but as of now no one has presented arguments good enough to get him past 1-B
Also, i haven’t really seen a good argument against the need for hulk to simply destroy a singular avatar, which he is more than capable of doing. At the least, It took several hours for Ultima to create a new avatar when one was destroyed did it not, and we have little evidence suggesting it can interact with the world without its avatar. In fact, multiple passages suggest it needed to It also took multiple iterations and evolutions to reach a level of power that would even pose a threat to the hulk.
Honestly It seems a bit unfair to create this fanfiction version of Godzilla for the death battle that has abilities and powers never before seen in one singular version of zilla, but then ONLY use base 616 hulk. Should we give hulk all the abilities and powers of his alters too? So hulk gets professor Hulk and maestros intelligence AND Green Scars strength and Joe fixits cosmic form/ ability to absorb cosmic radiation?
