Once after a workout at the gym a girl with a locker near mine decided that my new shirts from Holliter and American Eagle looked just about her size and decided to take them and then she had enough guts to wear them to school the very next day. Another time a very good friend of mine decided to "permanatly borrow" a pair of very expensive Hollister jeans from me. When I asked her about it she denied it, oh well.

a few years ago, the washer and dryer in my building were on the fritz. i took EVERYTHING to the laundry mat after work one day-every pair of jeans, every tshirt, all sheets and towels, every pair of underwear, every blouse-i took EVERYTHING..after drying and folding every article of clothing and linens i stopped for a beer at the corner bar. ONE BEER. came out to my car and someone had broken the back window of my car and taken my freshly clean and still warm laundry. i went to work the next day in a black cotton skirt i hadn't worn in 5 years and a tie-dyed tshirt--the kicker is that I'm an attorney! thank god for renters insurance!

My favorite hooded leather jacket (talk about a hard to find item). My sister wore it to school without asking and left it. Needless to say someone snatched it up! I was heartbroken :( I have never been able to find another one.

My then best friend slept over my house spontaneously and I gave her my favorite cheetah print pj pants a bra and a t-shirt. She was about 9 sizes bigger than me at the time, so god knows why she would want to keep my clothes. I didn't really care though, our friendship was on the rocks and I couldn't be bothered to remind her to return them. I did get the shirt back, but that was only because another friend (who bought me the shirt for my bday) snatched it out of her closet when she wasn't looking. I didn't tell her to the get the shirt back btw, she just took it upon herself lol.

no one borrowed this things from me. We think it was a girl who came to my house a couple of days, and I found missing a bebe blouse, the top of my only swimming suit and a perfect new bra, my lucky seven elephants bracelet and some earrings. I really miss the bebe top, and well.. imagine my surprise when I had this pool party but didn't find my top of the swimsuit anywhere :(

Someone stole my precious black velvet blazer. Me and my sister used to live about 80miles away from each other so she asked to borrow my blazer for a week or two. We didn't see each other often so she asked someone we "trusted" to drop it off when he visits. When he came about a month after I let my sister borrowed it I asked him where it was. He said he didn't know anything about it. Let's just say his girlfriend looks really nice in my blazer. =P

I could go on and on and on. But I had this one friend Danielle that walked off with about half of my closet by the time our friendship was over. When I would walk out of my room she would stuff her bag with clothes and then when I saw her wearing say 'oh i didn't think you would mind' which I probably wouldn't have if she would have asked. The few time she did return stuff she would return it dirty, stained, and even ripped.

My bag was stolen while I was out shoe-shopping. It wasn't expensive but it had the word 'bookish' printed in bold on the side which is pretty much me to a T. Plus I bought the bag overseas so it wasn't like I could just go replace it.

Mazda, if you want an easy way to take sales from 900,000 (2011) north to pick a seven digit number over the same time period, build this car. Instead of spending money on limited (capped) special editions, don't cap the production of this car and brand it MAZDASPEED MX-5 like you had in the past. This is where your R&D money should go and best be utilized to keep building your brand. When you build it, sales will follow.
yea well the S2000 was a phenomenal car for its day and even today.. this thing never would've held up with a S2k and even to this day the miata is nothing compared to a S2K. that said, it's unlikely anyone, including honda, will ever put a motorcycle(esque) motor to generate 240 ponies in a roadster ever again.. again, the S2K was a special car and still is.. this thing kept up with serious money machines on the track despite its lack of torque..
so , its hard to compare these two.. i wouldn't.. in my heart the S2K owns all except the old and classic NSX and the NSX-R..
+1. Where's the skyactive tech? Honda was doing it 10 yrs ago without the need of a blower. Lame, although the package and concept is cool.
Just badge it as a Mazdaspeed Miata and don't cap the production. There, job simply done.
Like Rocky said the S2000 had that much hp back in 2000. Just so true I had to repeat it..
S2K had this much HP back in 2000, at took you so long !!????
If what they are saying about the 100 run production is true, sign me up....seriously
I dont like mazda cars, but this I drove at the track and its amazing, after sampling all their offerings this little car is the best handleing cars they have.. I believe that in order to compete with the 370Z,Boxter,Z4 and other needs a little more power so it could have a definiteve advantage in the acceleration department, so far car is really light and confortable, just give it at least 300 horsepower and then it should be top in its class...
Dammit Mazda! This is the Mazdaspeed MX5 we've been waiting on for years! If the powertrain from the Speed3 cant fit in the MX5 why have you made us wait so long for this?
Mazda executives would be fools not to build a regular Miata and then a High Output one to really take down the competition namely 370Z, Boxster, Z4, SLK. They can only garnish so much sales even if the next Miata has a 1.5 turbo as speculated. Everyone loves the base Miata but there will be more interest in this car if they can do say 250hp and 2300lbs which would be estatically fast and drivable. Bets are they won't though but we can always hope. Such a winning car this could be. Where are the Miata enthusiasts?
They should work for Mazda or send them thousands of emails concerning this.

I think the opposite is true. This isn't about ALL of the males playing females, only the ones that go out of their way to explain it with lame excuses, like not wanting want to look at a male toon's butt. Sexual insecurity at it's most pure, right there. That they're worried they would be seen as gay tells me that there might even be latent homosexual tendencies somewhere deep inside, and because of upbringing, culture, or whatever, they overcompensate to hide it. It might not even be a conscious thing, either.
Tell me you like to roleplay and wanted to explore doing a female character, and I won't flinch. Tell me you like variety, and I'll nod in agreement. Tell me that it makes ZERO difference to you what form or gender your character is, because it all comes down to gameplay, and I'll flash a thumbs up. Tell me because looking at a male character's butt is gay, and I'll make DAMN sure not to drop the soap around you if we're ever in a group shower together.

Also the popularity of male to female fighting is more a testement to the commonly held (but false) belief that women are not as violent or capable as men, not any true fact of them being lesser physically. In truth many times a women can match a man pound for pound in a fight, but the methods they do this in are different, and yet in the end the result is the same.
Hmm the fact that they find the female form more appealing to spend hours of time staring at since it is largely center of the screen, and no matter how tunneled your vision is that form will affect your experince in the game. The fact that male chracter models are quite hiddious, and stereotypically unappealing to many players making their experince worse once more. That not everyone want to play as a stereo-typical top heavy muscular brute of a character, and so the other option is to play as a female character, since no other option sometime is offered it is the best solution. The fact that the animation on a female chatacter either look or are made more fluidic an appealing to watch compared to a female character. You have the fact that many times the armor or weapons jsut are more appealing on the female character to see, with the male conterpart just being laughable. In many ways i coould call you on being gay for liking looking at a male character anbeing male, since you like admiring that form so much it could be some hidden desire getting let out. I find it creeper that some guy cybers with someone in a mmo that have no idea of what true gender they are, and would seek that out as it puts into perspective that they very well might jsut be the despreat for such interaction regardless of who it is (reminds me of all the 1-800 number ads you would see), an that the guy playing a female toon is merely playing along to get some reward for a service.
This thread is confusing. Why does anyone care?
I'm a male, I play both, and I don't think that much about it. It has nothing to do with how tittilating those vertex-shaded buns of steel look in a chainmail thong, or whether I'm desperately attempting to be that muscle-bound behemoth I never could be. I have no desire to dress in drag, but if I did, so what? As long as I'm not wearing your panties, it doesn't affect you in the least.
Hell, back (way back) in high school, when cell phones were actually coconuts connected via fishing line, I played D&D over lunch with the other misfits. My character was female. My sexual orientation was never put to question. I remember the group finding a magic mirror that would suck anyone into it that looked directly at it. The group gave it to my character. She put it between her breasts. She flashed males she didn't like, and woosh! Into the mirror they went. How could they not look? It was a source of endless amusement for our simple freshman minds.
When WoW came out, I suckered some of my programmer buddies into playing. All male. Never played anything online previously. We all rolled females. For my part it was mostly because all the alliance males looked about as nimble as an ox, and didn't fit my perception of a rogue. Or rouge, for that matter. We didn't think anything of it. They aren't us, they're characters.
I've also played the Tauren, and I'm pretty certain I don't have a deeply recessed longing to become a cow, or a juicy hamburger.
I think it all comes down to Wizard's First Rule: People are stupid.

I'm male and I play both, enjoy both. Depends on mood and the general ingame aesthetics of certain class/armor models.
My opinion is my own. I respect all other opinions and views equally, but keep in mind that my opinion will always be the best for me. That's why it's my opinion.

Whichever looks best to me. I like slender, smaller non-human types. I don't care for those huge ubber-male muscle walls or overly sexualized females. So yeah I had trouble finding a race on Tera (dragon lady in the end). On gw2 I play asura males.

For me, I played a tauren in wow because I wanted to have sex with a cow or be a cow. I don't but people who think along those lines might just be dumb. I see them as potential gay/bi (like a cousin I have) or pedos because it's their issue.
As to gender, it's just pixels. that's what I believe. You want to take it to something else, your problem/issue.

You forgot to add an option for those that play both.
Pretty much all my in-game and RL friends have both male and female avatars in games. Depending on the character they are trying to create.
I always have female casters, and male rogues and warriors. Why? Because cloth and caster gear looks terrible on male characters. Likewise, the plate armor and leather usually looks better on male characters.
As for people who get upset by people playing characters other than their gender, go do internet dating if you want to pick up, its more accessible than ever, stop being creepy in video games.

Just so it's understood, I never said all males playing female characters had something to hide-- only those so insecure about their own sexuality that they feel as if looking at pixels somewhat resembling a man's clothed butt is a banner over their heads saying "Look at me! I'm teh ghey!"
This, of course, excludes teens deep in the throes of puberty, however. They play female characters for one reason, and one reason only. I tend to give them a pass, because they're likely at that stage of development where they'd fap to a Coke bottle, just because it's curvy. At some point, they'll grow out of it.

For me its a looks thing, I just don't like the male models in most of these games, they either A) look like the male char is female all it needs is a set of tits, or B) the male chars look like some musclebound idiot. Very rarely do I find a game with male chars I'd actually play in a mmo.
In honestly i'd worry more about the guys who play female chars and act like they are female, me? its VERY easy to tell I am a guy playing a female character because I don't care nor do I try to hide it, its a fracking game, why do people make such big deals over what gender char people choose to play in a videogame. Is soem guy playing a female character going to hurt you in anyway gameplay wise? Probally not. Also Females in these games tend to have more work put into their looks than the males do, and thus the female chars almost always look far better than the males do even in the same outfit.
So for me its just a personal preference, I'd rather play a char thats nice to look at and looks cool, over some homo looking male char(most korean mmos do this), or some muscle bound moron looking guy.
You don't like my preferences for what char I play in a mmorpg? too fracking bad, deal with it. If your worried about this so much I wonder who has the issue here, me? who will play any gender char I want, or you the other guy who is making a big stink about a guy playing a female char. What.. are you so pathetic that your going to hit on anything in a videogame with tits and a nice ass? Because people that say things like you did, usually are the ones who try to pick up female toons in mmorpgs, which I have to admit is beyond pathetic in my eyes.
Has nothing to do with confidence for me, I can play a male char easly if I wanted to, I just like my female chars and the Eye candy they usually have. XD
Anyway for me when I am on a female char if they ask if I am a guy I just say yes, its not like I try to hide it and if your not braindead its really easy to tell I am a guy even in a first meeting situation.
Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either:
A. Proven right (if something bad happens)
B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens)
Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime!

It depends on 2 things. 1 which class im playing and 2 does that race and gender combination look good in that classes armor. I never play dwarves but I rolled a female dwarf in Rift because it looked AMAZING in he cleric chain. But I mostly play females. Female cleric in rift, Fem Pandaren war, Fem NE druid, Fem BE DK, Fem BE Priest, Fem NE Hunter, ect ect. I just find that female models look so mcuh better in there armor.

When I listen to Maneater, I hear influences of the Canadian rocker, Peaches, except without the explicit lyrics. "Maneater" sounds like a blend of Peaches' Cum Undun/Hot Rod/Lovertits. This is not a complaint. I very much like "Maneater". This is an interesting new direction for Nelly Fertado. But I'm skeptical whether she's got what it takes to pull off an entire album of this hiphop/rap meets dancefloor technique.

2001 BEST Luggage
Bentley's Travelware
When it comes to customer service, Bentley's is peerless. The Copley Place store manager, Berge Ounjian, is on hand to offer personable, expert advice, and is always attentive to your needs and budget. It's refreshing to find a store that offers top-of-the-line variety (Tumi, Hartmann) and its own custom gear, as well as quality mid-range alternatives, matched with a staff that knows when to offer advice and when to let your browse. Also worth nothing is Bentley's Luggage and Gifts, the larger sister store in the Mall at Chestnut Hill, which has an equally warm and knowledgeable sales staff.

Our dogs love the Happy Hips Chicken & Sweet Potato Stew! It does not have any grains or gluten, no rendered meats or hormones or preservatives! And it's made in the USA! They love it as a topping on their dry food. Our local Agway feed store does carry it. It's Dogswell.com to inquire about it.

RW Carter Ashton, LET: 1-0-1, -1, 7 PIM (roughing, fighting, game misconduct)
Season totals: 4 GP, 1-0-1, -9, 9 PIM
Despite outshooting Kamloops 40-26, Lethbridge remains the lone WHL team without a win (0-6) as they fell 5-3 to the Blazers Wednesday. Ashton, who scored 30 goals last year to lead the team, notched his first of the season in his fourth game since returning from Lightning camp. His goal came on the power play, but he was kicked out mid-way through the second period for fighting.
Gregg Drinnan of the Kamloops Daily News has the story: "With the score 2-2 midway through the second period, Kamloops winger Tyler Shattock lowered the boom on Reid Jackson, leaving the Lethbridge defenceman laying on the ice and wondering where he was.
As so often happens in these situations, players partnered up before Brett Lyon of the Blazers and Lethbridge's Mike Reddington finally fought. The other players dispersed to their bench areas, but Hurricanes forward Carter Ashton, whose goal three minutes earlier had forged a 2-2 tie, got caught up in traffic at the Blazers' bench. Brandon Underwood, playing in his second straight game after being scratched for the season's first three outings, ended up engaging Ashton and both players received roughing minors, fighting majors and game misconducts.â€

CHL Game Night: 9/29Submitted by chad on September 30, 2009 - 10:13
Lethbridge Hurricanes 1 @ Vancouver Giants 5
RW Carter Ashton, LET: 0-0-0, -1, 0 PIM
Season totals: 2 GP, 0-0-0, -6, 10 PIM
This was supposed to be a match-up of Lightning prospects James Wright and Ashton, but Wright went and made the Lightning, leaving the Giants in a quandary. Vancouver made a trade earlier Tuesday, acquiring Cass Mappin (undrafted) to help replace Wright. Mappin had an assist vs. Lethbridge. It doesn't look as though Vancouver needs the help, though – Lethbridge does. The 'Canes remain the lone WHL team without a win (0-5). They'll look for that first one again tonight (Wednesday) in Kamloops. Vancouver is 4-1-0-1.
According to Gregg Drinnan of the Kamloops Daily News, the Lethbridge-Vancouver game featured 175 penalty minutes and the refs had their hands full with one line brawl and several post-whistle scrums.

GoNOMAD Reviews More Handy Travel Products
It's incredible that no one has come up with the idea for the Power Monkey Explorer sooner. This handy little device is a traveler's saving grace. Have you ever been stranded on the side of the road without battery power in your cell-phone?
Ever been relaxing on the sandy dunes of a beach without an outlet in sight and a dead iPod? The Power Monkey is a multi-faceted solar-powered charging device that you never knew you needed.
With four bright colors to choose from, the Power Monkey looks cool and might just save your butt from time to time. This little guy is compatible with most mobile phones, iPods, portable game consoles, and several other small electronic devices.
Eco-friendly and a life-saver in the most remote locations, the Power Monkey is also built to last. Backpackers can even velcro the Monkey to their pack in order to charge a device without having to slow down a single step. And with sturdy grips and a collapsible little design, you won't have to worry about this monkey taking up precious space.
For around $100, this is one monkey you're going to want to keep on your back.
Energizer Inductive Charging Pad
This new product from Energizer makes charging your Smartphone as easy as setting it down on a table. With a sleek black design, the Energizer Inductive Charging Pad makes wires and cords (except for the one needed to power the device) obsolete.
Simply set your phone down on the black plate and your Blackberry or iPhone is already charging. And you can charge two items simultaneously.
But like other induction plates like the pioneer Powermatt, there's still the fact that you have to put the phone on a case to charge it on the plate. So it means taking off your existing cover, and then fitting together the plastic case. Wish it could just be straight on, bareback if you will.
It's an innovative new concept, and the only drawback is that this gadget is for Smartphones only.
For around $90, it sure is nice to have carefree wireless phone charging capabilities.
Give your favorite electronic device (just about any device, you name it) a personal artistic touch with Gelaskins. Choose from over 100 different thin design layers to adhere to over 100 different devices for a fun vibrant twist.
GelaSkins are removable vinyl skins for protecting and customizing portable devices. They feature photo-quality graphics ranging from fine art prints to contemporary images from artists around the world.
You can even create your own Gelaskins on a special page on their website. There's a video that shows you how to do it. And whatever image you choose for the back of the device can be duplicated by a wallpaper on the screen. Cool, huh?
The removable covers use 3M adhesive technology which allows for 'bubble-free' application. When you want to change to a cover with a different image, GelaSkins remove cleanly, leaving no trace of residue on the device. GelaSkins are also ultra-low profile, so they're compatible with other cases and accessories.
AGF Vandelay case for the iPhone 4
The new AGF Vandelay case for the iPhone 4 is one seriously high quality protective shell. Plus, for those of us of a certain age, it gives us a laugh from its reference to an old Seinfeld episode. It features a premium outer-layer with opulent inlayed materials. And not only will you look like the toast of the town with the smooth leather exterior in patterned red or black, but these holsters are functional too.
The case allows the user to dock their iPhone 4 without removing it from the shell. So you get access to all controls, ports and cameras without having to take your phone out of its protective skin. This case includes a holster with a kickstand in order to more easily prop up your phone for easy viewing.
For about $35 these cases don't just look snazzy, but keep your phone super accessible as well.
Urban Ears Headphone Set
This headset isn't fooling around. Launched by a collective out of Scandinavia, these headphones are serious about comfort with an emphasis on the most urbane of styles.
If you're interested in comfortable, nearly noise cancelling, soft and flexible headphones, you're looking in the right place. The Urban Ears Headphones are collapsible and super soft with a rope-like cord attached to a tiny microphone, so you can both listen to your mp3 player and also receive calls through the same set.
And if you're picky about what you want your headphones to say about you as you stroll down the sidewalk, Urban Ears has more chic fashion selections than you can shake a stick at.
With up to 14 different colors, alternative models, styles, and even customizable options, Urban Ears headphones are almost more fun to build and buy than to listen to music with. Almost.
For about $60 this high-quality headset will let you dress to impress.

And how about audio? There's a built in slot for headphones and a dock connector cable. And the clear plastic cover protects your personal media player while affording you the best possible view, all for around $25.
Joby Gorillapod Video
Remember those home videos that made you a little green in the gills from all the unnecessary motion and shaky unprofessional grip? The Joby Gorillapod Video is here to help. The little tripod has magnetic feet, a smooth 360º pan, 135º tilt and an omni-directional positioning video head.
The bendable, flexible legs will stick to any magnetic surface to hold your point-and-shoot mini and pocket camcorders at the ready (just as long as they weigh no more than 325g) for the ultimate steady shot.
But keep in mind, this little guy may be named after one strong monkey but it's really only intended for
It's about $25 to catch the smoothest shots in the neighborhood.
Wicked Chill Headphones by Wicked Audio
If the appeal of the black graphics on the box doesn't reel you in, then the bold style and slick demand to 'Feel the Groovy' should. The Wicked Chill Headphones are a whole lot of fun and deliver just enough of your hardest rocking tunes to match the bubbly decorative designs on the headband.
It's clear right from the get-go that these headphones are for fun and show. As the back of the box proclaims, 'Your ears have never looked so chill.'
So if you're looking for a sweet set of headphones to bestow upon junior (he's had that rebellious glint in his eye ever since he turned eight anyway) then look no further.

[[caption-width-right:300:IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!!!!!]]
->'''Boomstick:''' He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.\\
'''Wizard:''' And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.
'''''[[http://www.screwattack.com/shows/originals/death-battle Death Battle]]''''' is a special hosted by [[Website/ScrewAttack Screwattack.com]] and is presented by "Wizard" (Ben Singer) and "Boomstick" (Chad James). Episodes 20-29 were animated by [[http://www.youtube.com/user/ShortFactor Mr Lange, aka Short Factor]] (Jordan Lange), with Episodes 29 onwards animated by [[http://www.youtube.com/user/link1812 "Mali"]], [[http://t.co/L8CjEKohmy Torrian Crawford]] & [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ifureadthisdie Eric Marte]]. The point of the show is to [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny take two similar characters and pit them against each other, analyzing their respective strengths and weaknesses to see who would win.]]
So far, there are 47 videos. The first 18 episodes were featured exclusively on Website/ScrewAttack's Website/YouTube account, and starting with episode 19 the series is now posted to the redesigned screwattack.com, with a delayed posting of past fights to their Youtube page.
The Rules (unwritten and official) of a Death Battle are:
* The warriors can only know of each other if they do know each other in canon in both '''official''' universes (as seen with Leonardo strategizing in his match against his brothers). Otherwise, they cannot know each other's movesets. Even if they do know of each other in canon, no one is allowed to prepare for the fight (e.g. Batman and Spider-Man had to use their default weapons instead of using weapons designed to exploit each other's weaknesses, like Spider-Man's weakness to pesticides).
** Characters are allowed to know each other's names (Lex & Ironman) or their internet rivalry (Sonic & Mario or Deadpool & Deathstroke) but can't know each other's physical traits.
** To prevent fighters from exploiting weaknesses of others for a cheap victory, a character's weaknesses normally only come into play if the enemy can find a way to detect a weakness (like how Superman and Terminator had x-ray vision) or if there is a specific reason why it cannot be exploited (such as Goku being too honorable to use Kryptonite on Superman). Other than that, if a combatant survives a match long enough, they may discover a way to counter the fighting style of their opponent (like how Black Orchid countering Ivy's whip, or Spider-Man knowing that Batman had explosive batarangs).
* A battle has to end with the loser dying, or at least "dead" as far as physical forms are concerned (for example, being reduced to little more than a ghost, or gods and similar characters left with no working mortal avatar to continue fighting with).
* Pacifist warriors will not have their peaceful nature interrupt the fight, and both combatants will have any personality restraints from killing removed. However, if their traditional arsenal uses nonlethal weapons, they cannot change it (e.g. Batman). They can only use lethal weapons if they have them as part of their regular arsenal.
* All other traits will be represented with accuracy based on the warrior's canon universes (as stated with Goku, {{expanded universe}}s, like ''GT'', are only allowed to be mentioned if they do not conflict with the original canon, like the ''Dragon Ball'' manga). ''All'' consistent and canon sources available during the time of the episode's release will be examined by the hosts (for example, the old StarWarsExpandedUniverse was accounted for Luke Skywalker because the Luke vs. Harry Potter fight was produced about three years before Creator/{{Disney}} declared the original EU to be AlternateContinuity, and it was still accounted for the Samus vs. Boba Fett Remastered fight one year after said declaration because it was produced 10 months before the release of ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', which completely overwrites the post-''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' timeline in which Boba Fett got a greater number of appearances[[note]]In the original EU, Boba managed to get out of the sarlacc pit and live another day; in the Disney canon, he had not appeared in any story set after his battle in ''Return Of The Jedi'' when the episode was produced.[[/note]]). Characters with multiple incarnations, such as Link, Spider-Man, Deadpool, and Godzilla, will be [[CompositeCharacter composites]] combining the best aspects of their various incarnations, unless said incarnation is drastically different from other incarnations. If a specific incarnation of a character is chosen, the canon used will most likely be the most popular depiction (e.g. [[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 G1]] Starscream, [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic G4]] Rainbow Dash, and post-[[ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths Crisis]] Batman). The research will avoid biases.
** B. If one warrior is allowed abilities from a non-canon source, the other warrior must be allowed to use their own non-canon sources as well.
** C. Also, if a certain depiction of the warrior has them ridiculously overpowered or inconsistent (like Shao Khan turning into a hydra in the live-action films), or powers that would be difficult to examine logically, (e.g. pre-1986 Superman could destroy entire solar systems WITH A SNEEZE and could both [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands "super-weave" and "super-shapeshift"]]) then it will not be used.
** D. Not every weapon owned by the warriors in every canon will be used. Instead, only the ones they are commonly using (as seen with Rogue or Batman) or their best or most iconic weapons (e.g. Link and Cloud were equipped with their best armor and magic) will be used.
** E. If a warrior originated from foreign media, the American dub will not be used if it contradicts the original source in any way (i.e. Goku's abilities used the Japanese canon, not the English dubs and mistranslations -- which, for sake of example, slowed down his Instant Transmission).
** F. A piece of media that claims to be canon but clearly isn't will be avoided. For instance, [[Film/{{Godzilla 1998}} the 1998 Godzilla film]] is not used to measure Godzilla's abilities because, as was shown in ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars'', the monster Zilla is clearly not Godzilla. Also alternate forms of media might be avoided, like Shao Khan's film depiction (where he can transform into a hydra).
** G. Because the warriors are examined by their latest depiction, they cannot use abilities that they lost in their past (ie how Shukaku was removed from Gaara or how Kratos, Spawn and Raiden gave up their immortality.)
** H. Claims made by fans will only be considered canon if the official franchise or character from an official source recognizes it, as seen by Chuck Norris recognizing and acknowledging fan claims in his book "The Official Chuck Norris Fact Book: 101 of Chuck's Favorite Facts and Stories".[[note]]Although [[JustForFun that episode]] is a bad example[[/note]]
* To get as many common abilities as possible, the warrior will be shown at their latest depictions or their oldest age as an active warrior (e.g. Harry Potter is depicted as he is at the end of ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'' when he learned all his skills, not while he was a young kid in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone]]'' where he only knew minor spells. Or Goku knowing Super Saiyan 4 and being 53 years old, which is his age in ''DBGT''). However future canon will be avoided if it unbalances the fight some characters like Superman will gain more power in the future in ''ComicBook/DCOneMillion'' while some characters like Batman will grow old and weak like in ''ComicBook/TheDarkKnightReturns''. In the case of 2D end battles, a character's depiction in the end fight is limited by what sprites are available for them, such as Harry Potter, Toph, and Gaara having their appearances as children despite using abilities and weapons obtained as adults, and Nightmare appearing in his ''[=SoulCalibur=] IV'' form.
* Summoning other combatants is not allowed unless the battle calls for it (like how Eggman and Wily fought with their armies). Unless the battle asks for multiple characters for each side, the combatants must fight alone, even if they are used to fighting with a partner (like how Pikachu wasn't allowed to have Ash command him).
** B. The only exception is if the fighter uses a creature for an attack that can reasonably be replaced by a non-combatant projectile (like how Peach can summon a sheep that doesn't do anything but fly at the opponent and put them to sleep with contact, or the Goomba firing Mini-Goombas) or when the act would fall under using the environment to their advantage (like how Batman can summon bats from the surrounding area with his gadgets), but the fighter cannot be dependent on these creatures and, in cases of summoning as an attack, the creatures cannot act on their own (like how Link and Cloud were not allowed to use summons or fairies because the summons attack on their own once summoned and the fairies are sentient beings making a decision to help Link once he runs out of hearts).
* The terrain chosen in the fight will either be a terrain from the fighters' franchises (like Superman's Metropolis or Goku's mountainous terrain) or would be a location that both warriors are experienced in (like Batman and Spider-Man fighting at night in a city). The area itself however doesn't matter nor play any role in determining the outcome of the battle, and even the entire battle itself is just a visual representation of the researchers' conclusions. The environment only becomes important if a character's skills use it, like with Leonardo hiding in the shadows or Chun-Li/Mai wall-jumping.
* The fight at the end of the episode is '''''not''''' what determines the victor in battle. It is nothing more than a fun little dramatization showcasing most if not all of the research displayed beforehand of the combatants in action. The winners are determined before the battle through quasi-scientific analysis of their abilities, and the character with the objectively better abilities will win.
The fights so far, in order of airing are:
[[folder:Season 1]]
# "[[Franchise/StarWars Boba Fett]] vs. [[VideoGame/{{Metroid}} Samus Aran]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Samus Aran wins. Samus has superior weaponry and athletic skill, combined with Boba's homing anti-vehicle rocket (his most powerful weapon) being inaccurate to human-sized targets.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/StreetFighter Akuma]] vs. [[Franchise/MortalKombat Shang Tsung]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Akuma wins. Akuma is an [[LightningBruiser incredibly vicious fighter]], so his constant punishment and unmatched skills were more than what Shang Tsung's stamina could handle. Shang Tsung's versatility and power-stealing abilities weren't able to stop Akuma's brutal tactics.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[ComicBook/XMen Rogue]] vs. Franchise/WonderWoman." [[labelnote:Result]]Rogue wins. Wonder Woman's outfit exposes a lot of skin, making it fairly easy for Rogue to steal her powers and eventually kill her with her touch. Wonder Woman's fighting style also worked against her as it contains several variations of blows to the face, the only part of Rogue that is uncovered, and Wonder Woman had no knowledge that Rogue could sap power from skin contact.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Goomba]] vs. [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Koopa]]." [[labelnote:Result]]It's a draw. The Goomba's [[TooDumbToLive idiocy]] and the Koopa's [[DirtyCoward cowardice]] respectively lead to their downfalls. Kicking the Koopa's shell [[HoistByHisOwnPetard sent it back at the Goombas]] and the Koopa was too afraid to get out of its shell in time to avoid the lava pit.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[VideoGame/FinalFight Mike Haggar]] vs. [[Franchise/StreetFighter Zangief]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Zangief wins. Zangief is younger, heavier, larger, considerably stronger, and has been training all his life, whereas Haggar's training is distracted by a political career.[[/labelnote]]
# "Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Battle Royale." (Blocked from YouTube due to copyright but can still be viewed on ScrewAttack's website.) [[labelnote:Result]]Leonardo wins. Leonardo knows how to pick battles and knows the others inside and out, and has the deadliest of the weapons. Michelangelo suffered from a lack of discipline and overcomplicated weapons. Donatello's bo staff didn't have adequate killing power, and Raphael was weakened from fighting Donatello.[[/labelnote]]
# "The Winner of the [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles TMNT Battle Royale]] vs. [[VideoGame/BattleToads Zitz]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Leonardo wins. Zitz is a powerhouse compared to Leonardo, but Zitz's strategies always relies on [[AttackAttackAttack overpowering foes]], whereas Leonardo can rely on his ninja training to outsmart and outflank. When the fight moved to the darkness of the sewers, Leonardo was in his element, and the untrained Zitz just couldn't figure out what to do.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[VideoGame/YoshisIsland Yoshi]] vs. [[VideoGame/KillerInstinct Riptor]]." [[labelnote:Result]] Yoshi wins. Yoshi has been known to be able to take a beating, and his arsenal is varied thanks to his digestive system. He's also smart, being described as an incredibly intelligent species by Nintendo and possessing at least enough intelligence to drive a car.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Felicia]] vs. [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Taokaka]]." [[labelnote:Result]] Taokaka wins. Taokaka has the superior agility, not to mention her razor-blade claws.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]] vs. Comicbook/{{Spawn}}." [[labelnote:Result]]Spawn wins. The only weapon Kratos possesses that's actually capable of hurting Spawn is the Blade of Olympus, and Spawn has plenty of energy to feed on from Kratos himself, since he's covered in the ashes of his deceased family. In addition, even if Kratos pieced together that only the Blade can kill Spawn, he would also need to know through unlikely odds that Spawn needed to be decapitated in order to die. And ''even'' then, Kratos would have to do so while dodging Spawn's array of superpowers that Kratos is not immune to.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[VideoGame/{{Bomberman}} White Bomberman]] vs. VideoGame/DigDug." [[labelnote:Result]]Dig Dug wins. Dig Dug has the superior movement when below ground, and unlike White Bomberman, he has a way of controlling his opponent (stunning Bomberman with his harpoon). In addition, Bomberman's own weapons are just as much a danger to himself as they are to Dig-Dug.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/DragonBall Vegeta]] vs. [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Shadow]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Vegeta wins. Base Shadow is no match for base Vegeta (let alone his Super Saiyan form) and Super Shadow has a time limit and isn't offensively powerful enough to kill Vegeta in such a short amount of time.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] vs. [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Sonic wins. Outside of {{Power Up}}s, which are evenly matched, Sonic has the advantage thanks to his SuperSpeed. Also, Sonic has a wider range of base abilities including Spin Dash, Spin Jump, and Boost while Mario's only remarkable base ability is marginally better jumping and strength.[[/labelnote]]
# "Music/JustinBieber vs. Music/RebeccaBlack." [[labelnote:Result]]It's a draw. Bieber's fear of thrown objects kept him at a distance while Black's daredevil recklessness put her at just as much risk as it did her opponent.[[/labelnote]] [[note]] Actual reason: Boomstick and Wizard hate pop stars.[[/note]]
# "[[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker]] vs. Franchise/HarryPotter." [[labelnote:Result]]Luke Skywalker wins. Harry has an inherent weakness in his famous lightning-bolt scar that can be exploited with Shatterpoint (a Force ability). Most of his curses and spells can be blocked with Luke's lightsaber, and Luke's versatile Force powers are capable in both offense (pulling Harry's broomstick down to the ground) and defense (choking Harry to prevent him from casting spells). [[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/StreetFighter Chun-Li]] vs. [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Mai]] [[VideoGame/FatalFury Shiranui]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Mai Shiranui wins. Although outmatched in strength and hand-to-hand combat skill/experience, Mai has weapons (her metal fans) and superior energy-based attacks, and her ninja training makes her unpredictable to the formally trained Chun-Li. [[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 Starscream]] vs. [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rainbow Dash]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Rainbow Dash wins. Rainbow is fast and agile enough to dodge Starscream's missiles. Additionally, his Null Rays have no effect on organic life forms, and his extremely poor marksmanship negates the rest of his arsenal. Meanwhile, Starscream also has no way to counter techniques like the Sonic Rainboom and the Buccaneer Blaze. Rainbow's speed is also superior to Starscream (as well as to other Death Battle speedsters such as Metal Sonic and base Sonic). Even if they had considered a more competent version of Starscream, all incarnations of the Transformer are far better at fighting against larger, non-organic beings than small organic ones like Rainbow. When one factors in how even high-tier Transformers have been beaten by humans much smaller than them, it seems likely that a minor FlyingBrick with magical powers and SuperSpeed could triumph [[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/{{Halo}} Master Chief]] vs. [[VideoGame/{{Doom}} Doomguy]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Master Chief wins. Although Doomguy is slightly faster, Chief has superior strength, agility, reflexes, and durability due to his augmentations, is equipped with armor that can counter Doomguy's incredible offensive arsenal, and, albeit factoring into his victory to a small degree, is noted to possess incredible luck in battle. Doomguy is also somewhat more dependent on power ups than Chief, and his armor isn't enough against Master Chief's wide array of weapons. Lastly, Doomguy's trump card, the [=BFG-9000=], can be negated by the Halo 3 Bubble Shield.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Doctor Eggman]] [[note]]With Hyper Metal Sonic, Silver Sonic, Mecha Sonic, Mecha Knuckles, E101 Beta MKII, Egg Robo, Scratch and Grounder, Shadow Androids, and an assortment of lower-level robo-mooks for Infantry, including Motobugs, Caterkillers, Buzzbombers, Egg Pawns, and Swatbots.[[/note]] vs. [[VideoGame/MegaMan Doctor Wily]] [[note]]With Bass and Treble, Metal Man, Guts Man, Pharaoh Man, Magnet Man, Slash Man, Sheep Man, Yellow Devil, and an assortment of lower-level robo-mooks for Infantry, including Bladers, Sniper Joes, Mettaurs, Hotheads and Paozos.[[/note]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Technically, it's a draw, as Wily and Eggman are both killed by [[DarkHorseVictory Metal Sonic]] in his Metal Overlord form, after he was infected by the Roboenza Virus and absorbed the Egg Fleet. The hosts, dumbfounded, debate for a moment on which way to call the draw before just declaring Metal Sonic himself the winner. Wily would have carried the battle due to him being CrazyPrepared with his booby-trapped robot doubles and the fact that his robots can coordinate effectively as a team with their more advanced AI and diverse abilities. Together, Wily's robots soundly destroyed Eggman's army. On the other hand, Metal Sonic more than made up for the ineffectiveness of Eggman's other troops by being a OneManArmy capable of beating any of Wily's Robot Masters. The one thing neither Eggman nor Wily counted on was Metal Sonic going berserk. A few scans, a Chaos Emerald, a Roboenza virus later, and the whole city is ruins; and mostly likely the world is doomed.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Princess Peach]] vs. [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Princess Zelda]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Princess Peach wins. While Zelda is magically potent, Peach's magical powers can at least match her blow for blow. Zelda's trump card, her Light Arrow, can be negated by Peach's Anger Magic. Where Peach truly carries the advantage is in the physical strengths in that she has a varied arsenal, is shown to be much more athletic, and has a kick that's powerful enough to cause [[OffWithHisHead decapitation.]][[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/MortalKombat Raiden]] vs. [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Thor wins. Thor and Raiden are immune to each other's lightning, but while outside lightning Raiden's main power is martial arts, Thor comes equipped with million-ton hammer and the strength to wield it. Also, he has experience defeating clever foes like Raiden, given that his main enemy is his trickster god brother, Loki.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud Strife]] vs. [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Link wins. Link has the superior experience and is used to thinking on the fly, as compared to Cloud's predictable brute force style. The Hylian Shield is indestructible and combined with the Golden Gauntlets (which give him SuperStrength) can block Cloud's [[{{BFS}} Buster Sword]], while the Master Sword weakens Cloud by purging his Jenova Cells.[[/labelnote]]
# "Franchise/{{Batman}} vs. Franchise/SpiderMan." [[labelnote:Result]]Spider-Man wins. Spidey's SpiderSense negates stealth and surprise, Batman's two greatest weapons. Unlike Batman, Spider-Man possesses superhuman strength, speed, and durability, having knocked out a dinosaur in a single punch, running 200 MPH in some canons, and survived grenades to the face and fights with powerful characters like Juggernaut. Batman has weapons but most are designed to be nonlethal. Batman is an master escape artist but he would still need a considerable time to escape from Spider-Man's webs, which have been known to restrain the ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk. Batman's greatest feats, such as fighting the rest of the Justice League and succeeding, were only accomplished thanks to the amount of time Batman put into preparing a plan of attack (and prep time is banned in Death Battle), and even if Batman was allowed time to prepare, so would Spider-Man, who also possesses genius-level intelligence and cunning; lastly, albeit factoring in to his victory a lesser degree, Spider-Man already has some experience in fighting strategic, gadget-oriented opponents, such as the Green Goblin, who possesses a similar style of fighting compared to Batman.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] vs. [[Franchise/StreetFighter Blanka]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Blanka wins. Blanka's survival skills, superior strength, resistance to electrical attacks, and size trump Pikachu's GlassCannon abilities despite his lack of formal training. Pikachu's dependance on Ash for instructions and lack of techniques that can harm Blanka hinder him.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Manga/DragonBall Son Goku]] vs. Franchise/{{Superman}}." [[labelnote:Result]]Superman wins. Goku's extreme tenacity and magical equipment combined with Superman's tendency to hold back only prolonged the inevitable. At the end of the day, Superman is simply stronger, faster, and tougher by many orders of magnitude. Taking into account the [[SuperMode Super Saiyan]] forms, even when Goku is in Super Saiyan 4, Superman is still at least 4.125 X 10^13 times stronger, 3 times faster, and 288 times tougher than Goku. In addition, Goku did not know Superman drew power from the sun, and he couldn't blow up the sun since the resulting supernova would incinerate Earth and Goku but not Superman (who has survived supernova explosions), as well as because Goku can't breath in space while Superman can. As for the argument that Goku could teleport Superman to a red star, Goku has no way of knowing that Superman is drained by red stars, and it would require concentration, which would be very hard when up against Superman. While Superman weakened by green Kryptonite would be defeated easily, Goku has shown various times that he refuses to fight weakened opponents.[[/labelnote]][[labelnote: note]] While some fans have argued a rematch should be done with the new Super Saiyan God form, a lot argued that it was ''still'' a form, meaning that Goku would eventually still run out of steam. However, with [[Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF Resurrection F]] showing that Goku absorbed the energy into himself and now the Super Saiyan God's power level is now his ''base'' power level, [[spoiler: in addition to being able to use the Super Saiyan form on top of it,]] such demands for a rematch are becoming more common. While this does present some new valid points, there are still a few problems. 1. The Super Saiyan God, as well as Goku's new base power level after absorbing the transformation into himself didn't have it's limits fully measured so far in either movie, 2. [[spoiler: Even if he can use the Super Saiyan forms on top of his massive power boost from ascending to Godhood, which supposedly makes him a Saiyan ''beyond'' God, it still presents the same problems as the first time round,]] and 3. In the interest of fairness if Goku got to fight in his ultimate form then so would Superman (Superman Prime) which also presents similar complications as it essentially raises him to god-like powers as well.[[/labelnote]]
[[folder:Season 2]]
# "[[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 He-Man]] vs. [[WesternAnimation/ThunderCats Lion-O]]." [[labelnote:Result]]He-Man wins. He-Man's strength easily overpowers Lion-O's and He-Man is just as fast as him, if not faster. He-Man is more than strong enough to destroy the Sword of Omens, leaving Lion-O vulnerable, and his Power Sword can deflect all the energy blasts fired by the Sword of Omens.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/MortalKombat Shao Kahn]] vs. [[Franchise/StreetFighter M. Bison]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Shao Kahn wins. Shao Kahn's battle experience of over ten thousand years in addition to the absorption of billions of souls, all of which grant him power, was enough for him to overcome for M. Bison's ruthless fighting style. In addition, Bison's [[SoulPower soul-fueled]] Psycho Power isn't the best weapon against someone who [[ShootingSuperman eats souls for breakfast]], neither is his ability to brainwash and psychically manipulate others against someone who has similar experience. Lastly, Kahn's otherworldly physiology means Bison's soul would find it much more difficult to possess if he had to.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Ryu Hayabusa]] vs. [[VideoGame/{{Strider}} Strider Hiryu]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Strider Hiryu wins. Hiryu's drones were able to match all of Hayabusa's ninpo arts, leaving the battle down to who has the advantage in strength, speed, and weaponry, all of which Hiryu is superior in (Hayabusa can cut someone in half with the Dragon Sword, he can dodge automatic fire, and he has a vast array of weapons at his disposal; Hiryu can cut someone in half with his bare hands, he can dodge anti-aircraft fire which is about 43% faster than rifle fire, and he has a plasma blade, Falchion, that can generate enough heat to cut through all of Ryu's weapons except for the True Dragon Sword, which, in and of itself, lacks enough impact to turn the fight around). [[/labelnote]]
# "[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Ivy Valentine]] vs. [[VideoGame/KillerInstinct Black Orchid]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Black Orchid wins. Her ability to defeat the millennia-old warlord Eyedol when even the greatest warriors of the past failed highlights Orchid's superior fighting capabilities, as compared to Ivy's spotty win-loss record (3-4, to be precise, but 2 of the wins were rematches) within the ''Soul'' canon. While Ivy is able to outmatch Orchid in long-ranged fights, Orchid's ability to turn into a flaming panther and phase through attacks forced the fight into close combat, which Orchid is more skilled in. On the topic of Orchid's finishing moves, while Ivy is known for her infamously enlarged breasts, Orchid's are only a size smaller, meaning neither of them are capable of utilizing Orchid's more well-known finisher (where she flashes her breasts at an opponent, causing them to die out of sheer shock at how big they are) properly; finally, despite her experience in alchemy, Ivy would be unable to negate Orchid being able to turn her into a frog, as Soul Edge's protection does not fare well against other forms of magic.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[VideoGame/StarFox Fox McCloud]] vs. [[ComicBook/BuckyOHareAndTheToadWars Bucky O'Hare]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Fox [=McCloud=] wins. Real-life food chain aside, both sides have distinct advantages, rendering the fight close. In space, the Star Fox team's Arwings outclass the Righteous Indignation in both maneuverability and defenses. On the ground, Bucky's acrobatics and Fox's reflectors both render the other's laser fire an irrelevant matter. With both having several advantages over each other (bravery vs. wits, land mobility vs. aerial mobility, etc.), the battle comes down to experience. Fox has fought in more wars than Bucky's rebellion, and singlehandedly won all of them by himself, in comparison to Bucky relying on his squad-mates on field missions.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/{{Terminator}} The Terminator]] vs. Franchise/RoboCop." [[labelnote:Result]][=RoboCop=] wins. While the Terminator is faster, more agile, and more "trained" (he has knowledge of combat and tactics uploaded into his A.I.), [=RoboCop=] is stronger and tougher. He has survived bombs, lasers, falls from the tops of skyscrapers, and a 3000 psi hydraulic press and been absolutely fine afterwards; T-800/850 units have been obliterated by most of these things. Plus, [=RoboCop=] still has the mind of Alex Murphy, meaning he has some human creativity that helps him outsmart machinery, and his arsenal was generally superior to that of his opponent.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Luigi]] vs. [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Tails]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Tails wins. Luigi has more combat experience, but Tails' flight and vastly superior speed allowed him to control the battlefield completely. He is also stronger (able to lift 10 tons, while Luigi can barely lift a radish the size of a car), far, far smarter (with an IQ of 300) than the plumber, and his gadgets make up for his weaknesses. In addition, the randomness of Luigi's greatest weapon, the Negative Zone, produces inconsistent results and is non-lethal in and of itself, as well as the fact that the Poltergust 5000, Luigi's other trump card, can be destroyed by Tails's bombs.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Venusaur vs. Charizard vs. Blastoise]] Pokémon Battle Royale." [[labelnote:Result]]Blastoise wins. Blastoise has an incredible defense but isn't lacking in attack either. Charizard has an incredible offense but a weak defense, and since he can't learn Sunny Day naturally he can't counter Blastoise's Rain Dance move, which weakens him significantly. Venusaur's most powerful attack takes time to charge up, and the rest of his moveset is filled with double-edged swords and status-effect moves that merely weaken an opponent instead of killing them. Though the three Pokémon theoretically counter each other due to ElementalRockPaperScissors, when you mathematically break down the 7000+ ways the fight can play out, Blastoise wins 48% of the time, Charizard 35%, and Venusaur 17%[[/labelnote]]
# "[[VideoGame/KillerInstinct Fulgore]] vs. [[Franchise/MortalKombat Sektor]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Fulgore wins. Fulgore was heavily outmaneuvered by Sektor's speed and agility, being 250 pounds lighter and having the training of a ninja on his side, but Fulgore had the edge on him in every other category by super-charging his nuclear reactor to overclock his weapons and armor and breaking Sektor's combos with pure brute strength. Fulgore also has more options than Sektor in melee, ranged, and defensive combat and has a better victory streak against his own ArchEnemy (while Sektor has been repeatedly defeated by Sub-Zero, Fulgore barely lost against Jago only because Black Orchid [[BigDamnHeroes stepped in]]).[[/labelnote]]
# "Franchise/{{Godzilla}} vs. Franchise/{{Gamera}}." [[labelnote:Result]]Godzilla wins. While Gamera is faster and smarter, Godzilla is 9 times heavier, much stronger, and vastly more durable, having tanked a city-busting meteor without flinching whereas Gamera barely survived a similarly destructive nuke. As Gamera's shell had been pierced by foes physically weaker than him before, there's no doubt that the much stronger Godzilla could overpower him. Godzilla's Atomic Breath is composed of pure radiation, not oxygen-based combustion, so Gamera couldn't feed off of it. Finally, Gamera often needs two rounds of battle to defeat his opponent, the first to analyze them and the second to beat them, whereas Godzilla usually comes out on top the first time and actively ''prevents'' his enemies from running away until they're dead. [[/labelnote]]
# "Franchise/CaptainAmerica vs Franchise/{{Batman}}." [[labelnote:Result]]Batman wins. Although Batman has stated Captain America could beat him in a (very long) fist fight, that's the very reason Batman doesn't try fighting fair. The pair are roughly equal in strength, speed and endurance but Captain America doesn't have quite as many years in martial arts as Batman does. Plus, even though Cap has the mental capabilities fast enough to dodge point blank bullets, his vision is still human and can't see through, say, a smokescreen or pitch-darkness. Indeed, Batman can even hide from ''[[PhysicalGod Superman]]''. Captain America's shield was versatile in defending against Batman's electric fists and projectiles and being a projectile itself in a stand up fight, but once Batman set up his smoke screen and used stealth to his advantage it quickly became useless as he couldn't know where Batman would strike next so he could bring it to bare, nor could he throw it and hit with any sort of reliable result. Cap just doesn't have a reliable counter to Batman's stealth and gadgets which cost him the match.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/PowerRangers Tigerzord]] [[note]]Piloted by Tommy Oliver (the White Ranger) and Saba[[/note]] vs. [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamwing Gundam Epyon]] [[note]]Piloted by Zechs Merquise[[/note]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Zechs/Epyon wins. Zechs is a trained and experienced pilot compared to the less experienced Tommy who was drafted for the Power Rangers out of high school, and despite the size difference the two mechs have about the same durability relative to each other's attacks. The Epyon's Zero system allowed Zechs to see the next move coming which allowed him to keep ahead after the initial delerium and counter all of the Tigerzord's attacks. Not even the combined power of all other Zords forming the Mega Tigerzord was enough to overcome Epyon's predictive capabilities, which it used to strike with precision attacks and shatter the Tigerzord's connection to the morphing grid to clench the match.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu]] vs [[Franchise/MortalKombat Scorpion]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Scorpion wins. Scorpion is able to teleport him and his opponent to the Netherrealm, which increases his power indefinitely the longer he is there, making victory a matter of time. In addition, Scorpion being unkillable by physical attacks leaves Ryu with only one move that can actually kill Scorpion (the Raging Demon), which he has little experience using and can be easily dodged by Scorpion.[[/labelnote]]
# "SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} vs ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}}." [[labelnote:Result]]Deadpool wins. Deadpool's regenerative ability is greater than Deathstroke's, and while Deathstroke is the better tactician, Deadpool's unpredictable nature makes him almost impossible to plan against. Deathstroke also lacked a way to permanently put down Deadpool, while Deadpool had his carbonadium sword, which negates regenerative abilities.[[/labelnote]]
# "Franchise/{{Kirby}} vs [[Franchise/DragonBall Majin Buu]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Kirby wins. Although lacking the regenerative and destructive ability of Majin Buu, Kirby's agility, strength and durability is more than a match (his Warp Star reaches light speed, he can throw an equivalent of 3.5 tons to the sun at escape velocity and he has tanked a planet-sized explosion when an equivalent force can blow Buu's body apart), and he can absorb and rebound whatever attacks can kill him, including the Planet Burst by way of Hypernova. Also, Buu's instantaneous movement has limits in extreme situations, such as when a huge energy ball capable of eviscerating him heads his way.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[VideoGame/BlazBlue Ragna the Bloodedge]] vs. [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Sol Badguy]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Sol Badguy wins. Sol's centuries of developing a fighting style trump Ragna's relatively short training time with Jubei, and his soul has been through the soul-destroying Backyard, making it strong enough to withstand the combined soul draining effect of both the Azure Grimoire and Blood Scythe. Also, while both combatants have rebounded from seemingly fatal injuries, Sol's ability to withstand punishment outclasses Ragna by an enormous factor. While Ragna's Black Beast form is powerful, Sol's gear form is much stronger, even when he's holding back. Sol's gear form has been proven to take down enemies even more immense and powerful than the Black Beast and even then his power was limited by his headband meaning that it's merely a fraction of his full potential.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Manga/{{Naruto}} Gaara]] vs. [[Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender Toph Beifong]]." [[labelnote:Result]]Toph Beifong wins. Although Toph is blind and Gaara's sand allows him to fly, Toph can feel the earth even if it isn't on the ground. Even though Gaara's sand is controlled by his mother, it's still sand, and can be manipulated by Toph's bending. Furthermore Gaara adding his father's gold dust to his own mixture of sand to make it easier to control also works to Toph's advantage, as that gold has trace amounts of iron (bearing in mind that it took a magnetic ability to use the gold dust) and is thus vulnerable to Toph's mastery of metal bending making it easier for her to redirect. Gaara's ultimate move, The Sand Tomb and Burial techniques, could easily be countered by Toph's bending cocooning herself in rock and steel. Gaara's sand armor also lets Toph see wherever he was at any point and her mastery of sand and metal bending helps her see, prepare for, and redirect any attack before it hits her. Maintaining the sand armor also takes a lot of Gaara's Chakra energy. When Toph got in close enough and broke Gaara's focus, it was all she needed to manipulate the sand to entomb and crush his body completely.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Franchise/StarWars Boba Fett]] vs. [[VideoGame/{{Metroid}} Samus Aran]] REMASTERED." [[labelnote:Result]] Samus Aran still wins. All of Samus's previous advantages still apply, namely her superior speed, maneuverability, and technology. Boba Fett may have better durability and physical strength, but Samus regularly defeats opponents that trump her in those areas. In addition, while Fett has a history of taking down differently empowered individuals, he tends to accomplish through cunning and mind games, playing his prey into traps -- this is difficult to accomplish against Samus, who has maintained a high level of distance and anonymity from the rest of civilization. This would give Fett almost nothing to research, making him fall back on an arsenal that, while formidable, simply can't keep up.[[/labelnote]]
# "Creator/ChuckNorris vs. Advertising/SegataSanshiro." [[labelnote:Result]] It's a tie, though [[ForeverWar ...there isn't really a result]]. As far as we know, they might still be going, and Death Battle's instruments can't pick them up. They also possibly ripped a hole in space-time, sending them to another plane of existence or completely destroyed their own. Or both. Point is, neither of them are in any way willing to die anytime soon, so under Death Battle's rules we can't even call this one a draw.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[Manga/{{Berserk}} Guts]] vs. [[VideoGame/SoulSeries Nightmare]]" [[labelnote:Result]]Guts wins. Though Guts was outclassed by Nightmare's incredible strength and powers, he already faces demonic beings leagues above his skill level every day, and he always prevails through his sheer strength and force of will. Although Nightmare can only be hurt by Soul Calibur, that's only in the Soul universe. Inferno and Soul Edge exist on the astral plane, which Dragonslayer is a part of after absorbing the blood of thousands of demons, so the two swords could logically damage each other. On top of Guts' already incredible resilience to seemingly fatal injuries the Berserker Armor helps by allowing Guts to fight without feeling pain and literally holding his body together until he is too damaged to continue fighting and dies. Even though he takes an incredible thrashing during the fight, neither Nightmare, Night Terror nor even Inferno itself could damage Guts enough to kill him outright. Finally, Guts has dealt with enough demonic trickery to know how not to be enthralled into becoming Inferno's next vessel, and he wouldn't give up the Dragonslayer for Soul Edge anyhow.[[/labelnote]]
# "ComicBook/IronMan vs. ComicBook/LexLuthor" [[labelnote:Result]]Iron Man wins. While both Stark and Luthor possess incredibly powerful technology, the various Iron Man suits combined with Stark's ability to remotely summon and change into them at will make him significantly more versatile. Additionally, while Lex has stood toe-to-toe with Superman while piloting the Warsuit, this is largely a result of its Kryptonite-based weaponry, which aren't overly effective against non-Kryptonians. The Warsuit is strong enough to protect Luthor from Superman's punches, making it strong enough to withstand the Hulkbuster modification, but it's far from invincible, as while it's designed to take down Superman, he can still penetrate it if the fight lasts long enough. The Endo-Sym variation of the Iron Man suit is also capable of countering nearly all of Lex's weaponry by itself. Finally, while Lex considers physical combat a last resort, Stark relies on, and actively enjoys it, giving him a significant experience advantage in a duel to the death.[[/labelnote]]
# "[[ComicBook/XMen Beast]] vs. [[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} Goliath]]" [[labelnote:Result]]Goliath wins. Both Goliath and Beast were almost even in terms of strength and speed, so this became a battle of wits and experience. Beast is more of a team player and rarely spends time fighting directly (Only when he needs to), whilst Goliath is considerably more experienced in hand-to-hand combat, having spent several decades defending Castle Wyvern and New York from intruders. Goliath proved more durable as well, considering he was shot by an anti-aircraft round and more-or-less completely shrugged it off. Similarly, Beast couldn't wait until daylight for two reasons- the gargoyles in the Marvel universe do not turn into stone by day, so he would not have known about it being Goliath's weakness, and even if he was aware of it, it's highly unlikely the battle would have lasted that long.

DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is back at the White House after his return there was delayed by the discovery of a suspicious package.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest says Obama was held aboard Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base until the package at the White House was determined to be of no threat to the president.
Air Force One landed just after 10 p.m. EDT but Obama remained on board for more than a half-hour. Meanwhile, House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi, who flew back from New York City with the president after they attended a political event, got off and departed the base.
Obama arrived back at the White House just after 11 p.m.

XVideo Issues, also, does 1080i/p/780i/p output work?
When I use mplayer -vo xv with high def video, for some reason, it jitters fairly often. My CPU usage usually hovers around 60% playing 1280x720 h264 video...so it's not that...
-vo gl -dr and -vo x11 and -vo sdl are all fine.
Does anyone else experience this? It's annoying!
Also, I'm thinking about buying a rear projection HDTV, something 60 inches or bigger. Can the linux nvidia driver output in 1080i/p/720i/p fine? Do I just need to add a modeline and manually add it to the monitor's modes?
Will a DVI to HDMI conversion cable work? It shouldn't lose image quality, it's all digital, right? It won't fall back to a lower resolution either inside the TV due to some DRM or strange security "feature", right?
My system is an athlon xp tbred b., 1.8ghz, 1g pc3200 ram, AGP 8x 6200A video card
Re: XVideo Issues, also, does 1080i/p/780i/p output work?
Re: XVideo Issues, also, does 1080i/p/780i/p output work?
Interesting. 8774 here, I have the jitter issue. I haven't paid attention to when it started.
I wonder if it is a driver bug...?
Re: XVideo Issues, also, does 1080i/p/780i/p output work?
It is possible to get perfect image quality using analog RGB, getting it all digital is not going to bring you a visible difference especially for situations where you don't require 1:1 pixel mapping. (i.e. viewing movies, not displaying a computer desktop)
The content producers want equipment that decodes HD content to only output HD when there are only certified components involved, and the output is encrypted (HDCP). This means that a Linux system probably will not be able to display that content in HD, and that a normal DVI output with a DVI-to-HDMI cable does not necessarily satisfy the requirements.
(you will need a display card with HDCP support and an approved OS like Windows Vista)
But will that hold back mplayer from decoding and outputting it over DVI or VGA? We will only know when it has happened...

AC Milan midfielder Ronaldinho is confident they will finish the season in the Champions League places.
"This is a very important stage in the season," Ronaldinho said on the Milan Channel.
"I am happy that I am feeling so good on a personal level at this time as I have recovered from my injury problems.
"I feel like I'm ready to give a real hand to this team. As a team we are playing better and picking up important points.
"The whole squad is focused on the objective of Champions League qualification and my personal target is to keep playing better and better."
Milan have two consecutive home games looming against Torino and Palermo.
"With the help of our fans we must take advantage of these two matches and continue on the path back to the Champions League," Dinho stressed.
"Then in May we have a crunch match against Juventus. We need to play the best we can before that so that we are ready."

I bring you the case of Salvatore Sparacino, "a lovesick Brooklyn teacher who stalked, assaulted and threatened another teacher for refusing to date him." But despite all this, he's STILL ALLOWED TO KEEP HIS FREAKING JOB.
The 46-year old gym teacher at "It Takes a Village Academy HS" (holy crap, I couldn't make that up if I wanted to) in East Flatbush (Brooklyn), "vented his fury at a colleague when she spurned his romantic advances, according to testimony."
Here's the stalker-love story gone wrong:
The trouble started when Sparacino and the colleague "became friends" in the 2010-11 school year. They went out to lunch and dinner, but the woman told him she wasn't interested in a physical relationship, she said.
Undeterred, Sparacino showered her with favors and gifts. He gave Regents study aids and tennis lessons to her teenage daughter. While helping the woman move books in her classroom, he tried to touch her hand, she said. She told him not to.
After Sparacino paid $800 for tickets to Cirque du Soleil, the woman refused to go. He then bombarded her with angry phone and text messages, one day calling 18 times, she testified.
"I was crazy for you," one said. "I was the jackpot because I would have done anything for you."
The colleague tossed his letters without opening them, including one containing the circus tickets. Sparacino barged into her classroom, screaming. "It's the end. You think you can throw me away," she testified.
Sparacino then chased her around the desks. When she tried to get him to leave, he shoved a door that struck and bruised her forehead. Shouting "F--k you" and waving his fists, he followed her outside, slammed his body against her car and blocked her from leaving.
He then tailed the woman home and parked next to her car, so she could not leave with her daughter, according to testimony.
"I will kill you, bitch. I'll sue you," she quoted him as saying.
She called 911. Sparacino was arrested for second-degree harassment but pleaded guilty to a non-criminal violation. Under the deal, he had to do three days of community service, take an anger-management class and obey an order of protection to stay away from the woman."
No matter, though. This guy is union, so he's uber-protected. He's a perfect display of union-driven public education prowess. And instead of being fired for being a criminal jackwagon, he was given a $20,000 fine and was transferred to yet ANOTHER teaching job.
Just the kind of person we want teaching our children, let alone being in the same room with females AT ALL.
Because Republicans hate women, minions, they're waging a fake war against them, and liberal unions are completely awesome.
Oh wait...
