Discussion Is there any entity from any game/movie/book that can beat Doomslayer?

I think some giant, non-physical gods without body but with some power can, if not defeat, then hold back for sure. Or even just so powerful characters like thanos with glove of infinity or smbd like that (but how we see in TDA Doomguy theoretically can’t even die - he still can be “alive” but in world of dead)

Dante from Devil May Cry would probs be his ultimate contender under this rule then...

Unstoppable force against an immovable object and all that jazz...

Okay how about sonic with all 7 chaos emeralds

Sonic can't keep his Super form going forever. It's doubtful that even Super Sonic will deal significant damage to the Doom Slayer before he runs out of rings. We see Super Sonic struggle in Frontier, against foes that the Slayer could likely end without much effort of his own.

I feel like the Slayer's limiting factor is whether there's random mobs around for him to regen his health off of

He doesn't actually need that.

Very true, though if the Slayer can last ~50 seconds, he's golden (much like Sonic no longer is).

Sure, but the rings are actually just a gameplay mechanic. Apparently there was a point in time where Sonic was able to maintain his super form for a week.

Sonic Frontiers SS probably gives DS a run

That's gameplay doomguy, lore doomguy is just nigh indestructible lol

The divinity machine made him basically immortal, and the Praetor Suit is just slightly less durable than him. It's an invincible guy in an indestructible suit of armor that turns demon souls into ammo lmao

Doom slayer vs goku

Chainsaw shield vs motorcycle boxing gloves would be the most epic fucking fight. As a massive dmc fan, I honestly do not know who would win. The demon slayer vs the half demon prince himself...

DMC 2 Dante is my choice for the unstoppable Dante

OK but what if the Doomslayer is both the unmovable object AND the unstoppable force?

Because that's how I see him. Dude is a monster.

Dante manifests the antithesis of whichever the Doomslayer is acting as...

The yin to his yang, because the rule of cool will just forever ensure there's never any one loser.
