Really awesome challenge idea. Don't know if the challenge already has a name on a wider scale but I could see some good brand names for it being something like "DP Ironman Challenge" or "Race to Zero DP". For DP Ironman I like it being a multiple game spanning term, though it doesn't fit the regular meaning, but with the combination it may be able to adopt it. As for Race to Zero DP it may be more game specific and therefor not as generally understood but it's clear enough to people who played as well as easy to explain and while the zero makes no sense it just sounds better than one imo. I really believe if the sparking zero community adopts this/your challenge it could go viral for a bit. Aside that have a nice day and I'm looking forward to the next one :)
Thank you for your kind words. I also really appreciate the feedback. I've been wondering how I want to package this moving forward. I thought about using Ironman too, but to me, that implies 0 deaths or losses. Still, like you said, it would be understandable to a lot of people when they see it. I also like Race To 0 DP. Even though it's game specific, I feel like it would be intriguing and at least vaguely understandable to most of the people who'd see it. I'll think about these options before releasing the next episode. I'll most likely use some variant of the 2. I also think this idea could do really well. I'm glad you feel the same way. Again, thank you for your feedback! I hope you have a wonderful life friend :)
@TheNole Gladly and maybe more people share name ideas below here. As for ironman I imagined it in a more smash ultimate way then something like xcom/fire emblem. And even though a smash ironman also ends or starts at the beginning with a single death I i equate a single character in smash to a team in dbsz DP. As for losing a match you could differentiate it like you said in the first episode by having DP Ironman and Hardcore DP Ironman. Though I see people possibly being adamant that one has to restart as soon as they read ironman.
@@marikmeier5605 Yeah these are all things to consider. I'm also wondering whether I should change the title to the first 2 videos once I decide on one for the next few. Just out of curiosity, would you have been more inclined to click this video if it were one of those titles? Also, was the current thumbnail and title enough for you to understand the premise of the challenge or at least make a reasonable guess before watching?
@@TheNole The Current Thumbnail yes. For necessary context I play Sparking Zero and I've watched and seen the thumbnail of the second video first. As for my first impressions on the thumbnail I think the colors plus their contrast caught my attention. The Arrow implied a concept that was mostly confirmed by the DP numbers. I can't say I immediately got the Idea that it would be a journey from 15 DP through each to 1 DP but I got the Idea of using teams that got progressively worse and cheaper what DP is concerned. The emoji's did nothing for me but in retrospective I do think they imply difficulty ramping up. I got the difficulty implication from the DP and the Characters. I specifically highlight the Characters here because they also serve viewers that have never played the game or seen DP in concept. Though I would change Saiyaman to someone who'd make it more clear Adult Gohan SSJ would do the trick, showing a definitive gap in power. As for the Title no. Talking about the second episode the question is always intriguing to me regardless of game so that part worked but informative/supporting the visuals it does not. For the first episode with the Zero DP part for me it's too vague. It could mean only one character with as little DP as possible, a full team with the lowest DP, your challenge or if I'm exaggerating a bit a format where you have for example 50 DP for 5 matches and each character permanently reduces it and you're not allowed to exceed the max(feel free to use if it seems interesting). And for the suggested titles yes I would have been more inclined to differing degrees. For the Ironman one I would have roughly had the smash Idea in mind so you go through chars in an order trying to win with each one and losing the challenge after death. The mention of DP would've clued me in on doing it in teams(like smash down) and from Ironman in general and the thumbnail I would've assumed not doubling up on chars. The Idea of Ironman would have been a strong tangible pull for me to click. After that the concept would clash with your intro explanation on the differences and from that point on it depends on the viewer/me. From my view I'd evaluate the differences, how you translated the Ironman concept to the game itself, how it would work in Singles/DP and how you want to implement it as a content creator. The not resetting would clash with me at first but I like the concept enough to not care and realize that it would be your version of Ironman. Plus with the mention of the hardcore differentiation the difference in expectation would soften for me even more. The Race to Zero DP would be more descriptive, distinctive and work well with the Thumbnail but it relies on(even though it's little) Sparking zero knowledge. It would be less searchable before it establishes itself. But it would still be very intriguing and would've gotten me to watch. As a direct comparison: If I know what an Ironman can be and I like it I'm gonna watch and for The Race to Zero DP the Idea or whatever you imagine has to be strong enough to convince you plus It won't clash with any expectations. Lastly on adding it to the previous episodes I think it makes sense. Keep the title just add to it. Imo it gives it more cohesion, a point of origin, playlist name and searchability. Sorry for the wall of text but it's a fun exchange :)
@@marikmeier5605 Don't apologize. I am very grateful for how much effort you put into this reply and the entire exchange itself. This has helped me a lot as I still needed to figure out exactly where to go with the titles and thumbnails. Thanks to you, I have some good ideas now. After I decide which variant to stick with on the titles, I'll add it to the first 2 episodes and keep using it going forward. I still have to decide whether to lead with it on some or continue starting different titles such as "Is This Challenge IMPOSSIBLE?" before leading into the "Ironman" or "Race to 0" part. Since the full title isn't always visible on the homepage, I almost feel inclined to lead with the unique title first so that each video is easily distinguished. Also, I think I'll do Full Power Jiren into Hercule for the next thumbnail, continuing with the same theme of using the colors, emojis, dp count, and arrow. I'm contemplating using 3 different teams again similar to the thumbnail from the first episode since it would further showcase the progression element, but I may just stick to 2 since it is easier to take in. Not sure about that one yet. I also may do some slight touchups on the first thumbnail. Mainly just adding the arrows in between each team. That does pose the question of what I should do for the thumbnails on the last couple episodes. As I get closer to 1 DP, the last few videos in the series may end up covering only 1 DP each since those lower teams will take many tries to complete. I was thinking about using thumbnails that showcase the specific team. For example, if just Hercule alone at 1 DP ends up being it's own video (it most likely will be), then having that as the thumbnail would be perfect. Something that shows Solo Hercule going against an entire 15 DP team. However, that may differ from the earlier set of thumbnails.
Trunks got beat up by his mentor in a superhero costume and his wife.
In his own timeline too. His mentor died, then came back with 2 arms, a costume, and his wife, just to beat him in a fight.

Thank you! This means a lot to me. Just make sure doto doesn't see this comment.
Really cool series idea and I love the editing, but did you really have to hit Freezer with the hard R? /jokes
I didn't have to, but it is a meme that I enjoy. No harm done in the name of a benevolent comedy.
Respect for not abusing After Image strike on Pan
Of course. Even at 7 DP, I can't bring myself to resort to those kinds of tactics.
I’m Barry Allen, the fastest man alive!
Burter and Dyspo want a word with you
If you play on pc I’d def fight you sometime
I do play on pc. Let me know how I can add you and we'll do that sometime. I'm always happy to find more people to play this game with.
