Death Battle Fight Prediction: Ash (Pokemon) vs Yugi (Yu-Gi-Oh!)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, Death Battle placed a particular episode as their 200th episode next year. This is a huge request by a lot of people. It heavily brings nostalgia with a strange uniqueness to the table. I'm talking about Ash vs Yugi, this would be similar to Pokemon vs Digimon episode.

Verdict
Yugi

There's a lot of pokemon fans that's going to side with Ash. It's kinda not hard to see why either. His journey was quite an lengthy one. Compared to real life, 1997 to 2023. We're talking twenty six years why did it take so long? Ash became an Pokemon Master in his universe. We easily can give the experience advantage to Ash.

Although experience quite a weird topic here considering Yugi possessed by the pharaoh through his millennium puzzle. Without the pharaoh, Ash would easily have more experience than Yugi. Skill wise both sides are among the very best duelist of their styles. Ash uses several pokemons in battles. Yugi & the pharaoh uses cards during duels.

The pharaoh depending on translation a few thousand years. Which greatly dwarfs Ash's experience several life times more in comparison. He also can mentally talk to Yugi during duels to better his chances. It's virtually two against whoever he faces deal. This is a major factor why Ash going to lose this fight.

Yes there does exist mixed duel styles virtually combining two different games together. There's also pokemon cards as well making that possible. Personally I could just said very little to just named Yugi the winner since he had an Shonen Jump manga series. As everyone knows Shonen Jump essentially the Japanese counterpart to both Marvel and DC in ridiculous feats wise.

I felt for people to truly understand why I believe Yugi wins. I gotta break it all down to the best of my ability. For starters, I could argue Yugi is still a decent duelist himself. Obviously the pharaoh better than Ash willing to take major risks to win. This is vastly different from Pokemon vs Digimon fights they done.

Unlike Red, Ash is allowed to use more than one pokemons in this fight. We haven't technically done a card style character on the show before. Yu-Gi-Oh! a rather complex card game if you haven't play it before. I don't think Ash could understand a lot of it's concepts. Even if Yugi or the pharaoh taking the time to explain em.

Ash technically would have the advantage knowing which pokemons he's about summon. His opponents would have to hope for some decent cards. It's even possible to draw a hand full of not great cards too. This also indirectly counts as an advantage. Ash simply going to have a harder time predicting what's about to happen.

Also an Yu-Gi-Oh! duelist has more control over the battlefield than an pokemon trainer. This is where I felt the scariest advantage Yugi has comes into play here. Ash can only give commands to pokemons during a duel. He can send em back to their poke balls. Eventually Ash going to run out of pokemons he can use.

Of course that's considering if Death Battle really wanna go the distance with legendary duelists either. There's a large variety of cards that could be summon. We got a rather interesting variety among the monsters. You also got trap cards that forces several situations to happen. Including flat out removing the opponent's monster out of the duel.

This could be game changing because Ash could use one of his best pokemons. Just when he's about to attempt landing a critical blow. Yugi has plenty of ways to prevent that from happening. There's trap cards that prevents usage of monsters for a little while. You can't do much about the usage of trap cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! either.

There's also effect cards that can dramatically alter things. You got Toon World that transforms monsters into classic cartoon style monsters I'm not kidding. He also can revive a previously killed off monster as well. Which also could be game changing here. There's another effect to turn your dead monster into an undead one.

Now it's true some very powerful monster cards requires additional steps in order to activate. Majority of them are officially banned from Yu-Gi-Oh! tournaments in real life for fairness. Even considering the additional steps required to use em. It's safe to say Ash could be lucky to not face em. Although we also gotta consider what would happen if Yugi summons one of these cards.

These cards are ridiculously powerful, Ash lacks a pokemon strong enough to counter any of them. If any of them gets summon, it's game over for Ash!!!

The pharaoh is notably smarter with some abilities he could do outside duels. Such as directly send someone's soul into another dimension, yes he's done this before in the manga. Obviously, Ash lacks any counters to this as well. Even excluding the truly broken Yu-Gi-Oh! cards from this fight. I still think Yugi going to come out as the winner here.

Another factor to consider is usually most pokemon trainers fights with one pokemon at a time. In vice versa, Yugi or the pharaoh could have several monsters on the field at once. Sure, Yu-Gi-Oh! does have some guide lines that technically slows things down a bit for fairness. The way this is going to play out it's going to be surprisingly fast.

I also could argue Yugi would have quicker access to stronger monsters by default. We could consider the possibility Ash decides to use one of his strongest pokemons out the gate. I don't think that would get far with Yugi though. Another huge factor is Yu-Gi-Oh! being more magical in comparison. It more directly plays more on the supernatural than anything else.

Pokemons are essentially creatures fighting each other around the world. By now a lot of franchises in real life ripped off the concept, Digimon is not one of them!!! At their core, anything in these cards do exist a long time ago with a connection to another dimension. Look it's rather complex stuff to get into. The monsters are insanely different in comparison.

The shorter version is every card based on something that surprisingly exists within Yugi's universe. Therefore, experience may not translate from these monsters as they do for pokemons. It doesn't mean Yu-Gi-Oh! aren't worst to face in comparison, you know they are. Yugi simply has plenty of ways to over whelm Ash.

I should also mention yes Yugi and the pharaoh can swap places. In fact, this is essentially how they defeated Maximillion Pegasus. Who had a different millennium artifact. Which allowed him to read his opponent's minds during duels. Basically he was cheating, they called him off on that. Ash won't be used to dealing with an duelist swapping out souls.

As for possible effects either duelists may experience during the duel. It's safe to say Yugi more protected against them than Ash. Either Ash has to wait until the effects stops or get cured. Some cards helps to prevent situations like this from screwing Yugi over in this duel. Both has been attacked by monsters before.

Well it's part of the show's take on the concept that duelists directly take damage to a degree. Sometimes it just happens even trying to interact with wild pokemons. Pokemons being more like animals and insects in real life has very clear limits. In vice versa, any monster summoned during an Yu-Gi-Oh! lacks those aspects to better chances for the duelists to win the duel.

Yes either Yugi or the pharaoh has to announce several moves they're making as well. Ash can't do much against majority of them. Even if we done an even more restricted gladiator duel style. Yugi still likely comes out as the winner. We're talking possibly two monsters each other with a set amount of hit points.

We could argue both had allies on their journeys. They both still gotten plenty of victories on their own. Some could use Yugi relying too much on the pharaoh to win. At the same time, isn't Ash already being more relying on his own pokemons? At least, Yugi isn't going to suddenly beat him up. Like Tai did to Red during Pokemon vs Digimon episode.

Of course, I remembered both of these growing up. I had just roughly a notable amount of interest for both franchises. I kinda respected Yu-Gi-Oh! more at the time. I kinda felt the concept was just more interesting. I truly do understand why this episode had to happen some day on the show. I just felt it won't live up to the hype majority has for it.

Summary of everything above here

To summary my entire argument, Yugi simply has most advantages with some assistance from the pharaoh. The crazier options Yugi or the pharaoh could do during this fight. Along with the two swapping places at times to further throw off Ash. Potentially scarier monsters to face in comparison. The pharaoh having the option to directly send his soul to another dimension.

Despite Ash having more notable duel experience over Yugi. He fails in comparison to the pharaoh. Who has a few thousands years worth of experience. Regular stats wise excluding everything else Yugi wins as well. Obviously we aren't focusing on that for this fight. I still felt like it needed to be mentioned anyway.

Essentially the duo has too much control over this duel. They easily can prevent the worst outcomes. In vice versa, Ash simply lacks counters to many things they could do in this duel. Thankfully this isn't your typical Shonen Jump character or Ash would've loss much worst than this. Any effects on Yugi or the pharaoh can be easily countered as well.

Sure Ash would know which pokemons he's about to summon. In vice versa, he lacks knowledge everything Yugi or the pharaoh throws at him. It would be a complete waste of time for either to know every pokemon Ash has. Especially when they already had this in the bag. Ash can't predict which cards either of them draws from the deck, the combinations are a notably huge.

This alone with the two swapping places could easily over whelm Ash. This is excluding everything else too. A small note to mention is usual battlefield sizes they're used to dueling in. Just by looking at some of those locations. Yugi has notably more to work with than Ash by default. This is where I start to see how truly unfair of a match up turned out to be.

Ash directly says any pokemon's name as he's summoning them. Either Yugi or the pharaoh could do that or not in the case of trap cards. Which had limited options to prevent from activating from duels. Also some turns in Yu-Gi-Oh! allows duelists multiple cards to be used. Which also could be game changing in this duel.

Pokemon duels are mostly one one one pokemon wise. Therefore, Yugi or the pharaoh could have three or more monsters on the battlefield. Obviously Ash not going to know what to do. Throw in some effect cards that transforms them into different variations like toon or undead possibly game changing as well. Hopefully by now you are finally seeing my point on this.

Not to mention, Yu-Gi-Oh! duel rules are more complex. There's no way Ash going to understand them on his own. His pokemons are too depended on his instructions as well. The pharaoh easily the smartest character in this fight. Either way you look at this, Ash vastly screwed no matter what he does. It looks like the Pokemon Master about to become an Yu-Gi-Oh! student.

Winner: Yugi (Yu-Gi-Oh!)

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Hulk (Marvel) vs Godzilla (Godzilla)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, yes we're finally doing this. An fight prediction on the one fight I disliked from Tournament of Champions. Hulk from Marvel returns to face Godzilla whose also returning. I already felt I gotten majority of my thoughts out on it. But I'll try to explain who I think wins this fight. Personally sooner the episode done, the faster we can move on from it.

Verdict
Godzilla

It's kinda interesting how you view this. "Wait Hulk loses a third time how?" "Are they really doing this!?" "Anything but Godzilla!!!" I could go on but you already get the idea. This is more or less like Martian Manhunter vs Silver Surfer or Deadpool vs Mask. We put an ridiculous character against an even more ridiculous character.

Obviously the more ridiculous character wins!!! Considering this is Hulk's third episode on the show. Second for Godzilla, they have to spice it up a bit. I strongly felt to truly give us the definitive answer. They simply got no choice but to use full composite versions of both characters. Which suddenly opens the doors to some truly ridiculous stuff.

Are you sure this isn't Wile E. Coyote vs Tom Cat in disguise? LOL, Godzilla ultimately gains a lot more from this process. There's so many versions of Godzilla including both Marvel and DC!!! Godzilla held his own against The Avengers as well as Justice League by himself!!! Even Superman you know the same super hero that defeated Goku three times on this show.

He couldn't even handle Godzilla in a fight. The size differences kinda doesn't matter here. What actually does matter though is raw power. It's very common knowledge they're both radioactive powerhouses that usually wins their fights. It's safe to say Hulk would be a tougher opponent than Gamera for Godzilla. Hulk previously loss to both Doomsday and Broly the canon version.

I'm very sure a third time they are going to play on Hulk simply a larger human. Eventually his rage going to run out factor. Your body can only maintain anger for a short period of time before it goes away. This is very bad against the King of the Monsters. They got some striking similarities some of which I learned from Death Battle wiki, thank you!!!

Hulk didn't actually fight The One Below directly. A weird factor allowed him to defeat The One Above All aka Marvel's God. In a particular Godzilla comic series, you likely know the one I'm about to reference. He defeats both God and the devil I really wish I was kidding. Godzilla defeated both of them mostly by himself is virtually mind blowing!!!

It's also important to point out both characters has ridiculous regeneration. Which means it very difficult to even harm em. Both these characters been around several decades with plenty of combat experience. Godzilla gotten introduced to the world first in 1954. Hulk originally debut in Marvel comics 1962. A rather popular year for Marvel no doubt.

It's kinda debatable who should get the combat experience here. You could argue this or that among hours if you really wanted to. Let's just say virtually a tie to prevent arguments. Sadly covering everything else isn't going to go as smooth. Strength wise well it's kinda obvious. Yes Hulk lifted some rather impressive things including a particular mountain by himself.

Godzilla is a giant monster or kaiju in Japan if you wanna be technical about it. You can bet Godzilla got plenty of strength feats that shouldn't even been possible. Somehow Godzilla pulls em off with ease for the most part. Durability is almost a tie except for one major problem. Assuming Godzilla fights Hulk long enough for him to stop feeling anger as well as similar emotions.

Eventually Hulk's regeneration going to slow down or if he transforms back to Dr. Banner. Well you know what that means Godzilla wins. There's several ridiculous examples of Godzilla surviving stuff meant to kill him off. Hell Mechagodzilla exists after all, it's designed to destroy him. We even had a weird space variation of him, SpaceGodzilla still couldn't kill him.

Even beings like Destoroyah couldn't do it. Whose also got a huge fight request for the show too. We still haven't talked what else could be given to either character. If they got a full composite route. There's a classic Godzilla cartoon, yes he has toon force to a degree. You know versus debaters love toon force (sarcasm).

The stats wise ultimately favors Godzilla more since a lot of things with Hulk. I'll just come right out with it, notably weaker versions of the character. Which isn't great when your opponent going to get up scaled by several versions of themselves. Obviously playing more into the strength category. Godzilla could also win the other stats too.

Again we got an American comic book character against an Japanese giant movie monster after all. Godzilla has a mind blowing speed feat Hulk doesn't even begin to compete with. It's so ridiculous just trying to understand the actual numbers could make your mind explode. Basically composite versions included, Hulk too slow.

Godzilla also has his signature Atomic Breath. Which destroyed a lot of monsters. It's true some needed more than one blast. This attack packs more force than the strongest recorded form of Hulk!!! Also Godzilla has a weird flight move too. Hulk jumping isn't going to get him far here. Not because of Godzilla's flight move either.

If it isn't already incredibly obvious by now. Godzilla has a tail, he simply whacks him with his tail. Not only that Hulk can't absorb Godzilla's radiation either. It was stated to be exclusive to Gamma radiation. Which means only Gamma radiation Hulk can absorb. This is important because it doesn't matter which form of radiation Godzilla can absorb.

This is another weird way for Hulk to run out of energy during a fight. Just being near Godzilla starts to rob him of a fighting chance. Godzilla is simply too ridiculous to be on Death Battle. Oh wait people gave them enough money to do it on their show. I will try to summary my entire argument. Godzilla trumps in majority of stats.

He also would gain more from a full composite version of this fight. Godzilla absorbing Hulk's radiation possibly faster than the rate he's piss off. As many people knows the angrier the Hulk gets, the stronger he becomes thing. Hulk would constantly struggle trying to keep on fighting the longer it goes on.

Godzilla easily going to out last Hulk no matter what he does. Godzilla's tail easily counters several moves Hulk could do including jumping. Hulk is a truly impressive super hero in his own right. He's simply facing a truly ridiculous giant monster he virtually has no chance winning against. Even his best opportunity likely never going to happen due to the rate Godzilla absorbs radiation.

In vice versa, Hulk can only exclusively absorb Gamma radiation. This greatly limits everything Hulk could do in this fight. This is exactly why I heavily dislike this match up so much. On paper, it sounds like a great fight idea. But very quickly it turns out to be a terrible stomp. Godzilla is essentially like a thousand Hulks rolled into one.

You know it's upsetting when one of my absolute favorite Marvel super heroes can't even get a win on this show. I'm a huge Hulk fan, I simply couldn't over look Godzilla's ridiculousness. This is likely going to be among my least favorite episodes to date. It simply felt like a giant bandage, I just gotta rip it off!!!

Winner: Godzilla (Godzilla)

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Kyle Rayner (DC) vs Simon the Digger (Gurren Lagann)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, now here's a fight I'm very happy got into the lineup on the web show. It previously loss a poll to Discord vs Bill Cipher. I'm talking about Kyle Rayner vs Simon the Digger. Originally in the poll, Rayner would've been an green lantern. We previously had Hal Jordan as one in an episode.

They chosen to do even further with Kyle being an white lantern. Therefore, we're now in for a truly epic showdown. This could be among the most ambitious episodes they're currently doing next year. I am very hype for this upcoming episode. This is going to be a mind blowing episode. The animation alone is already enough reason to go see the actual episode.

Verdict
Kyle Rayner

I know more DB viewers will be surprise to learn how Simon the Digger loses. Both these amazing characters has truly insane amount of willpower. Simon uses a drill device to powered an unique machine. Rayner uses an white lantern ring capable of anything he can think of. I would say the way better Green Lantern vs Ben 10 fight.

There's several major differences that ultimately led to me going with Rayner in this fight. Simon for more powerful forms required more people and machines to simply maintain them. Not to mention, the composite willpower required to make that possible. In comparison, Rayner possibly has enough willpower to rival that.

There was a time, he had to absorb all remaining energy of the Green Lantern corps. This is important because every lantern corps' energy purely made out of those particular emotions. In this case, we're talking pure insane amount of willpower. Now add in he also mastered every lantern corp ring there is. Well that's exactly how he became an white lantern in the first place.

Therefore, he could handle facing Simon's insane composite willpower. It also doesn't help an white lantern uses the power of life itself as a weapon. The white lanterns are among the most powerful lantern corps. Every lantern corp member can use their imagine with their respective emotions. This by itself is simply too much for Simon.

Let me explain Kyle very easily can go offensive, defensive or both at the same exact time. Simon lacks more defense being a more offensive fighter. People still don't understand how truly ridiculous these lantern corp members are. Green lanterns can survive being erased with an universe, yes this is a thing. Kyle simply has plenty of ways to win.

Even considering all the multiverse Simons rolled into one factor. Well scaling involved several big name members done truly mind blowing stuff. Removing scaling still doesn't prevent Kyle winning this fight. Despite being an white lantern a short period. The stuff Kyle could do was essentially reality warping.

This also means if Simon had the stats advantage or any critical ones altogether. Kyle can simply alter things to simply nope that. A more direct way of saying this, The Anti-Spiral would lose solo to Rayner. Considering how insanely powerful that being is. Whose also gotten a huge fight request against Anti-Monitor.

Another fight I previously covered within my Death Battle Fight Prediction blog series. Yeah Simon should be digging or drilling into his own grave. Even removing reality warper from Rayner. His white lantern ring is the most broken weapon in this entire fight. Sure like most lantern corp rings, there's a limited amount of energy.

At the same time, a worthy wielder can truly do the impossible with them. Now I know what some Gurren Lagann fans could be thinking. "Doesn't Simon do the impossible?" Well yes to a degree with notable limitations. We could also argue Rayner as an white lantern might not have any real limits at all. Rayner can do almost everything you can think of just with an ring!!!

Yes he has some famous kaiju he can recreate including wow Gurren Lagann!!! Who knew Rayner was a Simon the Digger fan? This is actually vastly different from similar matches they done. Including the recent Omni-Man vs Bardock, I called it!!! We have a character with limits against another with a questionable limit or none at all.

Simon also needs a lot of people to be on the same page as him while using their composite willpower. Which is going to be very difficult to do against Rayner. Just destroying some connected machines limits Gurren Lagann's overall potential. Another more direct way to view is he simply needs more people and machines to increase his chances in this fight.

In vice versa, Rayner already at his strongest by default. We have a character constantly pushing through limits against another who essentially mastered said limits. Not to suddenly make this Omni-Man vs Bardock again. It's virtually the same situation with one character gotta keep transforming. Ultimately it just isn't enough to win.

Simon going to likely burn out of willpower first. Also considering how straight forward his fighting style is. I highly doubt he's getting far with Rayner here. Simon rushing in could be the very mistake that kills him in this fight. I'm not saying he isn't bright, he was a leader at a time after all. He even gave people underneath the surface hope they never thought was remotely possible in the first place.

Rayner is in all honestly too broken of a character to lose. It kinda rivals Marvel's Silver Surfer to a degree. Possibly greater level of ridiculousness which is really saying a lot here lol. Rayner is just one very capable person taking on an army working together to defeat such powerful beings. It's very clear cut Rayner simply on a totally different level from Simon the Digger.

I do like both these characters a lot. I actually need to see more stuff with Rayner in myself. Gurren Lagann is among my favorite mech anime ever!!! It also doesn't help despite how obvious this next point is. Rayner simply has more notable overall experience than Simon. Not only that, it takes a ridiculous amount of effort to just design any lantern ring.

I am not kidding an lantern ring made out of an incredibly durable metal. There's a small list that could damage an ring. Even fewer capable of destroying em. Obviously, even if I were to give Simon his most powerful canon form. It's still surprisingly not enough force to even put a scratch on that ring. Who knew rings could be that scary?

Simon would need to force the ring from Rayner's hand then quickly take him out. However most lantern corp members learned techniques to prevent such tactics. Also being an white lantern, he's guarantee to get that ring back too. Simon would need to make Rayner's hands incapable of using the white lantern ring. Which isn't going to be possible to do here.

As stated before, lantern members can easily protect themselves. They also can cut notable distance in space as well as other plains of existence to a degree. Which also means if Gurren Lagann were to be faster, Rayner can easily counter that too. Often they use barriers to safely travel through space. Barriers are also used during combat while an experience lantern member.

Actually capable of quickly swapping out strategies in a short period of time. This alone would throw Simon off during this fight. You got to realize Rayner can do almost everything he wants. No matter how ridiculous it actually is using energy from his white lantern ring. There's no way Simon going to adapt to how quickly Rayner changes strategies during this fight.

Now for fun we could've given Simon his most powerful non canon form. You know the insanely large head with everything else not visible form? Which is obviously more powerful than the Anti-Spiral. He's an multiversal threat after all. Scaling to other famous lantern members or not, Kyle still tops that. You got to realize DC comics been around a very long time.

Rayner been around surprisingly for thirty years. Maybe thirty one years by the time of the episode. Which further bags the question how does most DB viewers not know him? Despite all these episodes with DC comic characters no less. Rayner just sadly under the radar from most popular shows and movies he's in.

Therefore, you had to seen any of those to know who he is or you likely won't. But majority of them knows Gurren Lagann quite well. It was also clear I had to make a point on that. Sometimes the lesser known character wins on this show. It probably happened more times than you even begin to realize. Simon simply lacks a solid way to win.

In vice versa, Rayner could win at any given time he wants. This is less fair than Omni-Man vs Bardock surprisingly enough. Technically Goku vs Superman better than this just not by much. Simon has a lot going against him in this fight. Especially when you're facing someone like Rayner. Who could rival people like Hal Jordan!!!

Hal Jordan is another truly ridiculous green lantern character. Another notable factor is Simon mostly fights on one planet. But Rayner fights on many planets as well as several plains of existence too. This also means Rayner would adapt to more situations on the fly at a much faster rate. I hate to say this, Simon is screwed.

Yes I been waiting the entire time just to say that lol. Rayner simply has too much over him in this fight. Plus reality warping alone virtually guarantees victory. An white lantern ring capable of anything the wielder thinks of truly game changing stuff. His insane feats with mind blowing determination. Rayner is virtually a god among men, it shows.

Winner: Kyle Rayner (DC)

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Master Chief (Halo) vs Doomslayer (Doom)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, it's official Master Chief vs Doomguy well Doomslayer now won the rematch poll for the web show Death Battle. Depending when this rematch episode happens. I possibly been waiting thirteen to fourteen years for this rematch to happen. I previously stated how much I disliked the original episode.

I had a gut feeling majority was going to vote this into the show. Let's be honest, there's plenty of great reasons. The episode simply happened too soon before they had a solid research set up in place. Also not to add salt to Ben's animating skills, it was among his worst. I actually felt majority of them were surprisingly decent in comparison.

At the time of the original episode, I played three Halo games. I was barely scratching the surface Doom wise. Over the years I was getting more into Doom, easily my favorite FPS franchise ever!!! I already left Halo behind following beating Halo 3 in disappointment. I will try to leave as much bias out as inhumanly possible.

Verdict
Doomslayer

Sure Master Chief is a rather impressive soldier. He was capable of winning against two armies. Especially when the odds were against him. Sadly that's just child's play for his opponent. Doomslayer possibly has more overall experience. Time is a weird factor due to him constantly going between a few plains of existence.

Master Chief would have fewer weapons on him than Doomslayer. Not to mention, Doomslayer has notably more ammo in comparison as well. Now I know this wouldn't matter if Master Chief's armor simply nopes em. Well Doomslayer has weapons his armor can't protect him from. They are notably more supernatural weapons with a few experimental ones.

BFG by itself simply too much for him to survive. This weapon could kill more powerful demons like Cyber Demon in a few shots. Yes I know there's another variation of it called Tyrants. He even destroyed enemies capable of summoning other enemies. Such as the Icon of Sin and the Mother Demon respectively.

Doomslayer destroyed possibly millions of demons in comparison to how many we could confirm Master Chief slayed. There's a chance both could be given their AI helpers. I don't think it would matter much. It's debatable how much information available on Doomslayer. This by itself would put Master Chief constantly on guard.

Obviously both wear armors while going into battles. We can argue Doomslayer being the tougher character. He tanked notably greater levels of force to what likely could kill Master Chief. It's even safe to say Master Chief despite his enhancements possibly more human. It turns out Doomslayer based on Davoth aka Dark Lord.

The supreme ruler of Hell virtually the devil in Doom universe. Doomslayer always the one person stopping Hell. By this point I'm simply adding to why he easily wins this fight. He's willing to rip apart demons and other supernatural beings with his hands. Even comparing one of these is notably more strength than Master Chief ever shown.

We could argue a few possible advantages Master Chief has. Cortana more likely to assist Master Chef than Vega for Doomslayer. He's more of a tactical fighter than the more brutal straight hit & run kill strategy. He does have more notable defense options. Although we still haven't brought up power ups.

Yes both of them has a few similar power ups. Doomslayer has an berserk powerup that heals him fully but also increases his fist's force to easily kill some weaker demons. Considering Doomslayer is notably much faster. This could be game changing by itself. Also it's possible for Doomslayer to survive a few plasma grenades.

I'm sorry one plasma grenade can't kill this guy. Yes I'm looking at you Ben!!! Master Chief also more used to working with squads. Of course, he's got enough experience to carry out missions on his own too. I actually felt he has more of a shot against Duke Nukem than Doomslayer. Even there I also had to go with the King on this one.

Even Serious Sam would be too much for Master Chief. Hey I can keep going with FPS characters that destroys Master Chief. Doomslayer in all honestly destroys in stats. Removing weapons altogether, Doomslayer capable of destroying Master Chief's armor with his hands. Not only that, he has plenty of things Master Chief lacks a solid counter for.

He possibly has more overall experience. Also fighting on a few planets as well as several plains of existence. Ultimately means wherever this fight takes place, Doomslayer adapts to it much faster. Are we sure this guy isn't an Saiyan? Master Chief simply can't handle Doomslayer on his own. Here's an example I think hits home the best.

Just imagine an army of Master Chiefs. Sure several wars would've ended much sooner than expected. Now imagine an army of Doomslayers, there wouldn't be any wars!!! Just one guy taking on Hell mostly on his own is a rather impressive feat. I could argue it's rare when he gets help. But most of the time, Doomslayer fights like no tomorrow usually slaying demons!!!

Sure we could limit what both of them could use. To be honest though I still see Doomslayer winning the more gladiator style version of this fight too. Also no powerups would've been included either to make it fair. Master Chief is an amazing enhanced soldier. He simply can't handle the unstoppable force known as Doomslayer!!!

Winner: Doomslayer (Doom)

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Dr. Robotnik (Sonic) vs Bowser (Mario)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, before I get right into it. I got a quick announcement, I will be comparing predictions with an YouTuber Uncrowned Otaku. He agreed to allow me to write my blog predictions. I just felt you see a lot more of my views on fights than the more viewed shorter videos. Regardless thank you sir, I been wanting to do some form of Death Battle collaborate.

When Death Battle announced they were coming back. One of two fights revealed right off the bat was Dr. Robotnik vs Bowser. Which so happened to be one of my absolute biggest requests to date. Let's be honest how could it not be? It's essentially Mario vs Sonic but their arch enemies facing each other. I actually felt this had more interesting possibilities in comparison.

It also matters which versions of both characters they're using. Like live action movie version, obviously Dr. Robotnik wins smoking!!! They're both in a lot of canon within their franchises. Death Battle for the most part likes to stick with the main canon. Unless they had reasons to use alternate versions. Such as Xeno Trunks vs Archie Silver that ultimately more interesting than the main canon versions.

Sonic wise what a year it has been. We gotten Knuckles show let's pretend it doesn't exist. A new Sonic game, Sonic x Shadow Generations going to be out soon. Later this year is Sonic 3 movie that should be amazing. I am not keeping up with Mario, I already left Nintendo behind. I still have respect for the character though.

I do sorta recall comparing these two villains growing up. Despite the differences they are strikingly similar in some aspects. Maybe not to the degree of Ganondorf vs Dracula. This is a huge deal for the show. We got two of the biggest video game villains in history facing each other. We already know it's going to be way better than Eggman vs Wily episode.

I'm not sorry Ben lol, I still disliked they done Bowser vs Ganon. I already discussed many reasons why. At least here, I felt both of them has a chance. Not only that, they can actually do a lot more with the characters. We are officially getting another war theme fights. I actually enjoy those a lot with Ultron vs Sigma being my favorite.

There's so much they could do with this alone. It's even good enough to be the season finale in a shorter season. If it's not I might be critical what the actual season finale episode going to be. I previously had in the past that may not change here. I know all this hype, I'm sure it's going to be well worth the wait. I was very excited about it's announcement myself.

Verdict
Bowser

I think the best possible way to determine who wins. We got to consider as many situations as possible. Then limit both their access to additional stuff. Therefore, we can see whose more versatile. Basically gladiator style they go in with what they got with em. This could even be the deciding factor who wins. I strongly felt Bowser simply better suit in that department.

Sure we could take the time to name some crazy possibilities. Majority of those they both done. Well Dr. Robotnik needed something additional to do the same. Like manipulating time, he needed an altered time being as well as another Robotnik to do that. Obviously this is magic vs science concept. Bowser lacks science while Dr. Robotnik lacks magic.

Unfortunately for the mad scientist, Bowser can more easily work around science in this fight. Let's be more honest, he's a more broken character. He virtually trumps stats by default with questionable durability. I see questionable because sometimes he could survive lava while others loses his flesh. The same can't be said for Dr. Robotnik.

Another critical factor is Dr. Robotnik just doesn't hold his own against similar beings to Bowser. Like Perfect Chaos who used all seven chaos emeralds to reach it's final form. Almost like a water based Godzilla monster. He actually gotten one shot by Perfect Chaos in record time. If Dr. Robotnik couldn't handle Perfect Chaos.

How could he even begin to handle Bowser? Army wise, Bowser simply better set up. Then again so was Dr. Wily in his war fight too. Despite Dr. Robotnik being a lot smarter sucks at setting up an army. Honestly I'm expecting his army to be destroyed. Not only that, Dr. Robotnik can't counter a lot of stuff Bowser could do during a fight either.

Dr. Robotnik heavily relies on technology. He lacks combat outside of using technology. Which puts him at a huge disadvantage against Bowser. Whose more used to facing Mario with whatever he had. Although both of them are quite arrogant. I actually can say Dr. Robotnik possibly too much for his own good.

Dr. Robotnik doesn't have many options that could hold up to Bowser within his arsenal. Gladiator style version very likely won't have anything major enough to help either. Bowser's magic mastery is truly game changing here. He even could win the fight at any given time he wants. Dr. Robotnik could bring in Metal Sonic to assist.

In main Sonic canon, Metal Sonic previously betrayed his creator. So it's debatable in this situation where Metal Sonic stands. If he decides to go against both of them that won't end well for him. Dr. Robotnik might altered his design to stop him in his tracks. Even if he copied Bowser's stats, he's not backing down from a fight.

It's very likely despite his speed, Metal Sonic ultimately lose to Bowser as well. He wouldn't know magic, which by itself ensuring his destruction. Dr. Robotnik has to be like Iron Man to prolong this fight. Eventually he's going to run out of time. Bowser simply too much for him to handle. We could give Dr. Robotnik his best stuff in this fight.

I still don't think any of that game changing enough to win this fight. Dr. Robotnik constantly going to struggle against magic. Bowser simply can nope several situations Dr. Robotnik force onto him. Let's be honest, Bowser is among the most ridiculous Nintendo characters they had on the show. Dr. Robotnik often loses to a very fast hedgehog.

Sonic is quite amazing in what he's done. The same also can be said of Mario as well. I know some people going to use the famous Dr. Robotnik loses to constantly getting jumped on logic. Bowser does have a spiked shell, he could easily destroy most of his inventions. Dr. Robotnik simply lacks something major enough to turn the tides.

Even if he had something, Bowser likely too broken of a character for it. Bowser can manipulate a lot of things. He's more of a fantasy style villain character. Dr. Robotnik being the more mad scientist type. Mad scientists are often using their creations to do their work for em. Which kinda hurts Dr. Robotnik against Bowser here.

Does anyone remember the old days of Dr. Robotnik often facing off with Sonic? I sure do, those are becoming distance in recent years. Bowser virtually has exactly what he needs to win this fight. Dr. Robotnik in every possible way requires something to help better his chances. Ultimately, Bowser going to wreck this mad scientist like a wrecking ball going through a wall!!!

I also wanted to discuss a rough idea what the other canon versions are like down below...

Keep in mind, this prediction mostly focus on the main game canons of both characters. This easily could've went very differently depending on which versions used. A good example being the later Archie Robotnik could've rivaled Bowser enough to make it a close fight. Fleetway Robotnik became a God very late into the story.

Also DIC Entertainment that had several shows for both franchises. King Koopa largely the same in those. Surprisingly, they given us three different versions of Dr. Robotnik. The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog easily the most ridiculous among them. I personally describe the show being Ren & Stimpy on crack lol.

At one point Dr. Robotnik had chaos emeralds. Which were vastly different from most canons. It was more like on The Jackie Chan Adventures with the talismans concept. Eventually Sonic & Tails figured a way to win. Just some of his plans doesn't make sense. Dr. Robotnik is essentially crazier than in most canons.

Considering the ridiculous toon stuff Sonic can do in that show. It shouldn't be a surprise Dr. Robotnik in his own right possibly a broken character too. There's a particular episode he kept repairing two robots to the point he finally said something about it. Also he did allow Grounder to exist whose essentially an weirder, smaller, dumber Inspector Gadget!!!

The other two Sonic cartoons had him ruled an planet. Sonic with his allies fighting to get it back. Which also got used to a degree in Sonic Forces game. There's more Sonic shows I haven't touched yet. Dr. Robotnik is notably different in these shows. Therefore, the factors widely changed depending on that.

Super Mario Brothers movie Bowser possibly can beat Dr. Robotnik using the Master Emerald. I still haven't touched comics much in this discussion. Mangas and comics, they're in them too. It's safe to say those possibly more ridiculous than their main game canon versions. I'm very positive they are keeping it just the main canon versions.

Can you imagine compositive every version of both characters? The massive head ache awaiting them. There would be so much confusion while researching as well as comparing the two. There's no way they are going to do that with this fight. Possibly with Hulk vs Godzilla but not here. I just felt Bowser going to win this fight.

If I were doing this fight, I would've done Archie Robotnik vs main canon Bowser. To clarify which Robotnik from that comic series, the later one that ended up being much worst. Now that's my ideal version of this fight in a nut shell. Either way, this is going to live up to the hype. I can't wait to see the episode soon.

Winner: Bowser (Mario)

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Giorno (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) vs Joker (Persona)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, the next episode of Death Battle going to be another widely hype up one. Giorno vs Joker is among the most complex fights they ever done. I'm surprised they are going for it next despite the web show just came back. Honestly, I am rather curious to see how a fight this uniquely bizarre going to play out.

I haven't played any Persona games prior. I am up to date with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime. There might be a new season covering Part 7, we will see. I absolutely love how outside the box this fight truly is. This is going to test people whose been predicting fights for years. I'm not even sure whose likely going to win.

Verdict
Giorno

It's safe to say both have several advantages over each other. Joker simply wins the stats advantage. Usually any character that wins that gets my vote. However this fight is quite bizarre in nature. Ultimately stats has little place in a fight like this. What actually does matter is exactly how their power works and how they counter each other.

This alone determines who wins the fight. At their core, their unique powers alters reality to a degree. Giorno can transform objects into creatures. His stand that got a surprising upgraded form is mind blowing. Gold Experience Requiem automatically reverses effects. This thing can even trapped people in a loop of infinite death.

Joker has several personas mostly Arsene. He also has the option to combine several personas to bring forward Satanael. This is a powerful fused persona that once killed an god!!! Also in his universe, someone can believe to the point of changing reality. I'm quite serious, there's a toy gun. All of a sudden worked just like a real one simply from someone believing it.

A lot of his personas are based on trait cards. Which was a recurring theme for Stands in Part 3 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Joker is more of an RPG game character. This also brings a lot of stuff that could help him out in some way. There's several problems with this I couldn't over look. Such as Joker could cause several effects onto Giorno. Then Gold Experience Requiem simply nope that. Joker also believe in something to surprise Giorno enough to possibly land a killing blow.

Giorno can transform objects into creatures. He also can reverse that process with ease. This is important because Giorno's powers could work around Joker believing in something to alter it's effect. We also gotta mention the one category Giorno or rather his stand wins here speed. It turns out the actual speed Gold Experience Requiem can go possibly infinity.

This itself is game changing because Giorno won't have to deal with any negative effects for long. He also won't be hurt even fatally wounded for long either. As for killing gods and similar abilities, Joker needed help to do so. Then again Giorno didn't kill any gods at all. His stand once forced a former criminal boss into a loop of infinite death.

The method it used to do that is mostly punching the crap out of him. Therefore, it's possible Joker wouldn't think much of those punches. Joker's persona can be defeated as well. Although, he could bring Arsene back with ease. A persona like Satanael would be incredibly difficult to bring back. Not to mention, Giorno's scary creative with his powers too.

We still haven't talked about the crazy situations Giorno had to endure either. After all, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure widely known for it's rather bizarre situations. I could argue Giorno actually better prepared for this fight than Joker is. There's also no known limit on Gold Experience Requiem's ability to reverse things either.

Also if we bring in the famous Stand rule. Sure Joker and his persona can see Gold Experience Requiem. They still incapable of harming him. Doing so also hurts possibly kills Giorno in the process. Giorno is lucky for parts of his brokeness saving him. It's obvious both these guys are quite tactical in their own right.

The real question is could Joker escape such a fate of death? I don't think so the speed required is sadly infinity. Joker is notably faster than Giorno himself. At the same time, it's almost a similar situation to escaping an black hole. Which requires the speed of light to do so. Then again infinity is so fast we gotten beyond actual numbers in scale.

This means the insane speed advantage Joker had suddenly no longer matters in this fight. Let's be more direct the same also can be said for his other superior stats as well. If he can't get around the scariest possibility Giorno brings to the table. Then his shot at victory virtually gone in an instant. Gold Experience Requiem just so unfair to have within versus fights.

Officially Joker brings a similar situation that could possibly prevent anything reaching back to 0. Therefore preventing Gold Experience Requiem from doing his thing. Although this is possibly the most debatable aspect of the fight. What we do know is Gold Experience Requiem needs to connect a blow.

Giorno needs to make contact with something for his powers to work. Which likely work on any reality altered stuff Joker believed to exist. Which kinda directly counters that advantage. You can think of any weapon but Giorno able to safely make contact with it. All of a sudden, Giorno takes advantage of this unique situation to surprise attack Joker.

In theory, Gold Experience Requiem could be countered. It's questionable how to counter such an ability. This indirectly means since it won't directly kill Joker. More or less force him in a loop of death to die infinity. Giorno would still need to figure a way to kill Joker. Which would be an challenge considering his feats as well as achievements.

This power could even reverse the combination for Satanael too. Which would really screw Joker over in this fight. Some people just doesn't even begin to realize how ridiculous of a stand Golden Experience Requiem truly is. Virtually nothing gotten pass it during the final battle. His opponent could remove seconds from time itself only to be reversed by that stand right afterwards.

Most Joestar family members are strategist in their own right. Obviously, each having a vastly different personality as well as abilities. Part 3 introduced Stands concept, I love so much. Considering all the people Giorno out smarted in Part 5. I do believe he could find a way to kill Joker in this fight outside Gold Experience Requiem.

For example, if he can swap a weapon or something of Joker without him noticing. This could end up as the very opportunity he needs to win this fight. He transforms an banana into an gun to kill an criminal off. Another notable factor is stands do differ in range of their powers being activated. Giorno could be a notable distance that's still within his powers working without directly fighting Joker.

Now I'm not that familiar with Persona franchise. I don't know if personas works in similar distances or not. Assuming they often work close by their user compared to several stands. Giorno easily has a notable advantage of throwing off Joker. He could be running near by underneath. At the same time, his stand attempts to hold off Joker's personas.

Giorno also among the smartest Joestars in his franchise. At same point he's going to figure out Joker's powers. Let's be honest, this is a recurring trend within his franchise. Some stands can affect reality on a huge scale including of Gojo's half brothers having Bohemian Rhapsody. This stand can bring fictional characters to life as well as enforcing rules from those stories into the real world.

This is an unique battle of wits with some rather interesting factors. The big issue is Gold Experience Requiem instantly counters majority what Joker could do in this fight. Any harm or negative effects, it's gone in record time. Joker requires stuff to a degree to do the same. Which in itself a rather critical advantage too.

Giorno himself lacks the ability to heal himself. Although he could heal others to a degree. Which also makes him similar to Part 4 Josuke in that aspect. It's also important to note, if the Joestar Family scaling gets used. Oh boy Joker really in trouble. Giorno might not have majority of the stats. Scaling him to other members of his family notably helps to make up for that.

Jotaro destroyed diamond teeth with Star Platinum simply punching the hell out of em. This fight is incredibly complex right down to it's core. Scaling getting involve making this a surprisingly closer fight than without scaling at all. Where it stands I believe Giorno going to win this fight. Gold Experience Requiem simply rigs the fight in his favor, I really couldn't look pass that.

Usually I would've sided with an RPG game character in most versus debates. Unless two or more were facing each other. This is a rather rare case I had to argue against one.

I know for some people this looks like an stomp. Possibly adding in scaling from other Joestars helps counter this. Also both constantly struggling to kill each other. It could come down to the last move. One will figure out a way to bypass the other's powers to win. I can't even say in time because well Gold Experience Requiem reverses time to a degree technically speaking.

It's also critical to note despite who Giorno's father was. He isn't an vampire by any means. Neither are his half brothers in Part 6 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. End of the day, the main characters are still quite human despite some ridiculous stats as well as feats. Personally I felt Giorno more times than not going to win this fight.

Winner: Giorno (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)
