Hump Day Video: Death Battle

"It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!"  Analyzing combatants weapons, armour and skills, Death Battle masterminds, Wiz and Boomstick determine who would win a battle between two or more characters from any form of media, mostly video games though.  Structured much alike Spike TV's Deadliest Warriors, Death Battle starts off with Wiz and Boomstick listing each combatants' weaponry, armour and special skills.  Once they are down looking at each combat, the battle begins as all combatants fight until the death and an iconic KO.  Death Battle is a creation of Screwattack that has been going on for I believe two years now.  There has been 21 episodes in total with two Q & A episodes with Wiz and Boomstick.  In 21 episodes, Death Battle has covered heated rivalries such as Mario vs. Sonic and Goomba vs. Koopa, dream matches like Mike Haggar vs. Zangief and Dr. Wily vs. Dr. Robotnik and even a showdown between two pop stars in Justin Beiber vs. Rebecca Black.  Filled with a lot of humour and amazing sprite-based fights, no Death Battle has been disappointing in any way.  If you are a fan of video games, comic books and any form of sci-fi, you will definitely enjoy Death Battle.  If you would like a sample, just check out the most recent episode provided below.  It is Thor vs. Raiden.
