Death Battle! Chapter 31: Knuckles VS Rayman
Quick note I typed this on my iPod because my computer was dead
Harry: In recent years prepubescent teenage heroes have become quite the trend, however..., the most popular and comedic are punch-happy heroes.
DAM: Like Knuckles, the Echidna.
The Doctor: And Rayman, the...Rayman?
Harry: He's The Doctor, that over there is DAM and I'm Harry.
DAM: And its our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a, Death Battle!
Harry: As the last surviving member of the tribe of echidnas known only as the Knuckles Clan, Knuckles the Echidna devoted his entire to protecting the Master Emerald.
DAM: Don't expect this to be a long analysis. Even Knuckles himself doesn't know much about his past.
The Doctor: For most of his life, Knuckles remained with the Master Emerald's shrine. Beating the crap out of anyone who foolishly approached it.
Harry: However, like Jake from (Free Birds) he would ultimately fail his life long goal. The fateful day Dr. Ivo Robotnik seized the shrine, destroyed it, and took the Chaos Emeralds.
DAM: Afterwards.., Knuckles dedicated the rest of his life to rescue the Chaos Emeralds and 'kill' Robotnik. What is with this guy and dedication? Seriously!
The Doctor: Knuckles would later find these Chaos Emeralds in the hands of his future friend and ally Sonic the Hedgehog.
Harry: Remember we're saying "FUTURE" upon discovering Sonic with the Chaos Emeralds, Knuckles simply punched them out of him.
DAM: Now! We're talking, its about time we made it to his weapons. Knuckles' main weapon is his bare fists and combined with his strength you'd better stay out of his way.
The Doctor: His main attacks are the dash punch, double punch, and screwdriver.
Harry: Knuckles also has pyrokinetic abilities. (*Somehow?*) From throwing meteor-sized fireballs with fire dunk, to his most dangerous attack. His "Maximum Heat Knuckles Attack" which deals massive damage to any opponent no matter how strong.
DAM: He's completed a lot of impressive things in his life, like guarding the chaos emeralds for his entire life while taking care of himself and raising himself. He's defeated so many enemies I'm only gonna mention the most amazing one, Super Mecha Sonic.
The Doctor: Knuckles is also incredibly strong capable of fighting EggRobo's and other Eggman pawns with his barehands. Since he's not powerful enough as it is he can also tap into the power of the chaos emerald and access the form of Super Knuckles.
Harry: Super Knuckles! While in this form he becomes practically invincible capable of surviving anything. His physical abilities also increase by a factor of 1,000%. However without a constant stream of power rings this form can only last for a few minutes.
DAM: Still combined with his weapons and skills Knuckles is one dude you don't want to screw with!
Knuckles looks at Dr. Eggman shouting, "Hey! Get back here you creep!"

Harry: Rayman is one of the most popular characters of the PlayStation. However.., little is known about him. I know I say this a lot but seriously we have barely enough information on him to to do our analysis.
DAM: One day when he and his friends were sleeping and causing a lot of noise for the 'witch' couldn't find her name. Rayman and his friends were ambushed and imprisoned.
The Doctor: However he wasn't there for long, Rayman escaped and set out to rescue his friends.
Harry: His main weapon is his fists, duh he's a punch happy hero. But, these aren't any ordinary fists as he has no limbs he can stretch them out incredibly far.
DAM: What makes Rayman...Rayman is his powerups and abilities, he can run faster than ever before, grab on to the ledges of any area he is standing on, spin his hair fast enough to sustain limited flight, and swing through obstacles with purple lums.
The Doctor: And these are just the standard abilities. We're about to get into the good stuff, Rayman constantly uses powerups in his adventures to increase his fighting prowess with super health he can heal injuries, super fist/golden fist envelope his hands in absolute power and increase his punching strength. He'll shrink you down-to-size with his vortex power, break your face with Heavy metal fist, grab 'N' pummel you with LockJaw or simply shoot remote controlled missiles at enemies with Shock Rocket.
Harry: With Throttle copter and propeller he can infinitely by increasing his helicopter ability. And just recently with the Blue Punch Icon he can destroy any kind of obstacle or enemy in seconds.
DAM: He's defeated countless enemies like the notorious Captain Razorbeard and the tricky Mister Dark who was previously mistaken for a woman, whoops...!
The Doctor: Of course like any kind of character or combatant he's got some weaknesses that hold him at bay, for one his strength levels aren't even close to Knuckles' even with his expansive strength-based powerups.
Harry: Also the majority of his abilities are based on exploration rather than actual combat leaving him to rely on his powerups. Which are based on a time limit his most powerful Vortex, Heavy metal fist and shock rocket only last for a few seconds.
DAM: Even with his flaws Rayman might just be the greatest example of PlayStation heroes.

Harry: All right the combatants are set it's time to end this debate once and for all!
DAM: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!
Knuckles is seen sitting on the steps of the Master Emerald shrine. Having destroyed an entire legion of S.W. . When a mysterious figure out of nowhere. Knuckles stood up and glared at the intruder.
Knuckles: Leave this place before someone gets hurt!
Rayman: Hmm.., please not the first time someone told me that.
The camera panned around both combatants showing Knuckles as he prepare to attack an Rayman who was making funny faces at his opponent.
FIGHT!
Knuckles ran toward Rayman prepared to punch his foe. Before he could get close to him Rayman hit him in the chest stunning him. Rayman punched Knuckles two more times before grabbing him with his LockJaw and throwing him across the field.
Knuckles: Ow...
Rayman: Having fun yet!?
Knuckles looked at his foe who continued to make funny faces at him, rushing his foe dodging two punches before smacking Rayman across the face and grappling pile driving him into the dirt.
Knuckles: Are you?
Suddenly Rayman jumped back to action punching Knuckles many times. Before he was knocked back down by a single punch from Knuckles.
Rayman:...
Knuckles: So you're tougher than I thought its time finish this!
Knuckles jumped into the air as seven Chaos Emeralds floated around him resulting in a blinding flash of light.
Super Knuckles: You should've left when you had the chance!
Knuckles rushed Rayman flying past him knocking him back and forth, switching directions constantly. As he came back around for another punch, Rayman struck back with a single power fist sending Knuckles flying backwards.
Rayman quickly picked up a Vortex power up and began throwing punches and small tornados at Knuckles. Super Knuckles being protected by his aura flew these attacks and continued to head towards Rayman. Shocked Rayman picked up a shock rocket power up and fired three missiles at Knuckles.
He peered through the smoke surprised to see Super Knuckles still heading towards him. Rayman picked up one last power up out of desperation and ran at Knuckles.., Super Knuckles threw a punch as Rayman swung his Heavy Metal Fist.
The screen switched back to its original position. Rayman struggled to stand holding his head in pain. When Knuckled came hovering towards him, his super form having just ran out of time.
Knuckles: I'll admit that was fun, but you lose.
Rayman stood up after activating his super health power up.
Rayman: Sorry buddy. But, you need to try a lot harder than that.
Knuckles: Impossible!
Rayman proceeded to pick up a blue punch icon and ran towards Knuckles who ran at him with his hands behind his head. Both struck at the same time each taking heavy damage. However Knuckles regained his strength much quicker. Grappling Rayman thrashing his body around violently and wrapping his arms around Rayman's head snapping his 'neck'. Determined to make sure his opponent is dead Knuckles jumped into the air and used his fire dunk on Rayman his body instantly burnt to a crisp.
Knuckles: Try healing from that.
K.O!
DAM: That seemed a bit overkill, I liked it.
Harry: Rayman power ups were just enough to combat Super Knuckles.
The Doctor: But, when their arsenals were depleted. Rayman couldn't match Knuckles' natural-borne strength and that is why he lost this fight.
DAM: A surprisingly close fight but Rayman just burnt out in the end.
Harry: The Winner is Knuckles the Echidna
The Doctor: Next Time on Death Battle!
Next Time on Death Battle:
A gargantuan being kicks a Clone at Captain Rex, "I will not be undermined by CREATURES bread in some LABORATORY" he then proceeds to jump out a window and land safely on his feet.
Versus...!
A large lizard-like alien looks at Femshep, "Go I've got this," as he charges numerous Scavengers blasing them away with his shotgun shouting "I am Urdnot Wrex, and this is my Planet!"
