Ed: Nerds, people who are into comics, video games, action figures, and movies. You may think they are not too cool to hang out.

Demo: But this two are the most awesome nerds to take gaming to the limit! Scott Pilgrim, Sex Bob-omb's two-fisted bass-player!"

Ruby: And Viewtiful Joe, the successor of Captain Blue's legacy! I'm Ruby Rose and those are Ed and Demo!

Ed: And is our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out, who would win a Death Battle.


Scott Pilgrim

Ed: Not so long ago, in the mysterious land of Toronto, Canada, Scott Pilgrim had a normal/boring life. He was part of a rock band and was dating a high school girl.

Ruby: Is that even allow? I mean, he is 23 years old.

Demo: And? You got in Beacon with 15, what's your excuse?

Ruby: ….Touche


-Background

-Name: Scott Pilgrim

-Height: 5'8

-Weight: 120lbs

-Boyfriend of Ramona Flowers

-Bass Guitarist of the Band 'Sex Bomb'

-Number One Best Fighter/Player in the province


Demo: Though so… Anyways, Scotty's life would have taken a turn when, in one of his dream, he saw a mysterious gorgeous woman in blue hair. He immediately fell in love with her and wanted nothing but to date her.

Ed: It would have been the great plan, except there's a catch. You see, Ramona Flowers had date seven evil ex-boyfriend's, and if Scott wanted to be her new boyfriend, he had to beat all seven of them.

Ruby: Which, they all have super-friki powers that no normal person could have! Luckily for our hero, he is anything, but defenseless. Being the best Martial Artist around! Wa-cha!


-Skills

-Ansatsuken style

-Fighting style

-Rindoukan Karate

-Enhanced Strength and Speed

-Superhuman Durability

-Fairly Quick Thinker

-Skill Swordsman and Street Fighter


Ed: That's right. Pilgrim has been said to be the first ever gamer to learn the Ansatsuken; the Assassin's Fist; The fighting style of the Street Fighter series. He can use the likes of the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, Shoryuken, and Joudan Sokutogeri. He also uses his own Fighting style, which focuses on fast fluids motions, keeping himself stable, adapts and adjust to new threats and uses reversals and counters. He also uses the Rindoukan Karate, allowing him to use the Fukiage, a rising punch that surrounds Scott in a temporary forcefield. But keep in mind, Scott has not mastered any of this fighting style, however, he is familiar with them.

Demo: Yeah, all his styles comes from playing games which surprisingly, works to a pitch. And parents said you don't learn anything from them. But, this nerd wouldn't be a puncher if he didn't have the strength or speed to prove it, more specifically enhanced strength and speed. His strong enough to punch a guy into the curvature of the earth, break robots apart, and break walls and stone blocks! Fast enough to land a 67 air combo attack and dodge sneak attacks; it's said that his speed is compared to Knives Chau, who can move faster than the eye can see!

Ruby: In short, he's really, really fast, but while his strength and speed are enchanted, his durability put them both to shame. He can take a hit so strong that send him to the atmosphere and subsequent re-entry. Smashed into several solid brick walls without a scratch, and even survived a flying men fireballs that can melt anyone by simply been on radius!

Ed: You mean Mathews Patel's fireballs; which in rough calculations, shows that they have 7.475 gigajoules of energy, give or take. It takes 2.99 gigajoules of energy to vaporize an average adult human and 3 gigajoules of energy to melt 5000 lbs of steel.

Demo: Is the guy made of titanium or something?

Ed: No, he's just too damn though. Anyway, fighting isn't only what he got, he can be a quick thinker in battle, able to trick powerhouses like Lucas Lee and Todd Ingram; two of Ramona's exes. But he not just only fist on the battlefield, he has complete mastery of the sword. And he has quite the arsenal, take it away Ruby!


-Arsenal

-The Power of Love

-The Power of Self Respect

-The Power of Understanding

-Bass Guitar


Ruby: In Scott's world, each weapon comes with numbers that help combatants in a fight. The Power of Love, a katana cover in flames, level's Scott's Guts(+2), Heart(+3), Smarts(+1) and Will(+1). The Power of Self-Respect, a katana covered in purple fire, levels his Guts(+5), Heart(+6), Smarts(+7), and Balls(+8). The Power of Understanding, a sword which represented the Zangetsu from Bleach, level's his Guts (+1), Heart (+3), and Balls (+2), and apparently…. A Bass Guitar?

Demo: Which, when been play, it surrounds Scotty in a forcefield!

Ed: Righhhhht…. Back to the info, The World has definitely heard the name of Scott Pilgrim.


-Feats

-Defeated all of Ramona's 7 Evil Exes
-Named the best fighter in the province according to his friends
-Scored a 64-hit air combo on Matthew Patel
-Took down every boy at Benvie Tech High School
-Survived being thrown into the atmosphere and subsequent re-entry
-Accepted his repressed memories and consequently defeated NegaScott
-Dated two girls at once


Demo: Not only did he manage to defeat all of Ramona's exes, he was named the best fighter in the province! And as we have said before, he successfully landed a 67 air combo on Matthew Patel before he could even touch the ground!

Ruby: Of course, we can't forget him surviving been sent into atmosphere and re-enter the subsequent. A human being would not easily survive the re-entry as their body will fry into ashes, bones and all! He had fought his own self, NegaScott, the negative emotions and memories of him.

Demo: And of course, he dated two girls at the time. Now, you might say now he's an asshole, but after getting killed by Gideon and been revive back, he talked with both girls and explained his own mistake…. AH! Right, Scott died before.


-Weakness

-Relies a lot on his friends, outside help, and dumb luck

-Slacker

-Impalement

-Weapons can be break/stole


Ed: True, if Scott was fighting normal enemies, he wouldn't have trouble, but against superpower beings, he needs to rely on outside help, his friends or his luck. Like how he tricked Lucas Lee into suicide himself, or how he tricked Todd Ingram into drink a half-half vegan drink, calling the Vegan Police to remove the Vegan power and landed the final blow.

Demo: He also needed help from Ramona and Knives to defeat Gideon. Also, while being a fighter, he's a slacker with no formal training. And while being able to survive blows, he doesn't do great with sharp objects. And finally, his weapons can be destroyed or robbed from him. Slippery fingers man! Get a grip!

Ruby: Still, Scott Pilgrim will stand up and fight for what he cares about!

*"Gideon: You want to fight me… for her?"

"Scott: No. I'm fighting for me."*


Viewtiful Joe

Ed: What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the name, Joe?

Demo: A Makoto Naegi!

Ruby: …. A what?

Ed: You know, that's not a bad description, Demo.

Demo: Thank you!


-Background

-Name: Joe

-Weight: Unknown (Assumed 5'5")
-Height: Unknown

-Occupation: Moviegoer, Hero, Actor

-"Henshin A Go-Go Baby!"


Ed: As Demo said, Joe is your typical average movie lover that was basically an 'Average Joe' with average tastes. Except that he had a girlfriend.

Ruby: Wait, I'm still confused. What those Makoto-(info of Makoto's background)...Oh.

Demo: Yep. The guy is sure your normal guy, until one day, when he and his girlfriend Silvia were watching Joe's old favorite movie; Captain Blue. But suddenly, the hero, Captain Blue, was suddenly defeated, and the bad guy LITERARY came to life and kidnapped Silvia, bring her to Movieland.

Ruby: Movie-

Ed: Don't think about it, Rubes. Even I don't understand it… Anyways, knowing he couldn't let his girl been taken away and his hero been defeated, Joe accepted to take Captain Blue role and defeat the evil Jadow, the game's organization of villains. But to take on the organization, he needs the arsenal to do it, all inside the almighty V-Watch.


-V-Watch Skills & Arsenal

-Super Strength
-Super Speed
-Super Durability

-Voomerang

-Shocking Pink

-Red Hot Kick

-Groovy Uppercut

-V-Dodge

-Six Machine


Ruby: When Joe uses this watch, he becomes the red-clad hero, Viewtiful Joe-

Demo: Don't forget he had to say the magic words! HESHIN A GO-GO BABY! WHOOOOOHOOO!

Ruby: …. Right-

Ed: Wrong! He only needs to say Henshin, but since he was inside a movie world, he-

Demo: Don't care! Is an awesome catchphrase!

Ruby: Anyways! Once he's transformed in the stylish suit, Joe's strength, speed, and durability surpass those of an average Joe. Not only that, he has access to the Voomerang, a spinning boomerang that can turn into flames by charging it. And the Shocking Pink, a bomb that can be charged by how many times is been bounce, at the cost of exploding the person who throws it as well.

Demo: He, as well like Scott, has his own version of Ryu's Shoryuken, The Groovy Uppercut, and even a flaming dive kick that can go in three directions, titled the Red Hot Kick!

Ed: Last, but not least, is the V-Dodge, an odd move where Joe jumps and makes a pose mid-air. While in this pose, however, Joe can dodge any attack, grapples and throws. But that's not all Joe has to offer, he wields the Six Machine.

Ruby: This mecha can transform into anything! An aircraft, a submarine, a drill, a car and the Six Cannon, a beam cannon that can destroy anything in his way! But that's not all he can do...

Demo: He. Can. FUCKING. Control. Time!


-Accelerate/Decelerate Powers

-Mach Speed

-Zoom

-Slow

-The Viewtiful God Hand


Ruby: It so true! He can alter his speed for a fast flaming hitting combo called the Mach Speed. Or, use Zoom, which zooms the camera in on Joe, paralyzing his foes weaker than him, strengthening his attacks, and giving him new ones!

Ed: Don't forget the Slow ability, as the name implies, it slows his opponents, allowing for him to see bullets slowly travel after being fired, increase the potency of explosions. And the Viewtiful God Hand, were he jabs his hands forward and electrocutes his enemies with shock gloves, once done, the target is left slowed down for a bit.

Demo: Damn! He's one scary hero, no wonder everyone loves him!


-Feats

-Rescued his girlfriend and went on several adventures

-Defeat all members of Jadow
-Effectively replaced Captain Blue

-Fought and Defeated Dante

-Destroy the Moon with a Pink Shocker


Demo: WOAHWOAHWOAH! THAT LAST FEAT….IS THAT TRUE?!

Ed: Actually….It is, even though it was in Movieland, he charged one of his bombs, used his Slow ability to extend the explosion and actually managed to destroy it.

Ruby: That. Is. So. AWESOMEEEEEE!

Ed: True, but you know what's more awesome? Fighting Dante Sparda from Devil May Cry to determine the strongest Capcom's character ever…. And come out victorious.

Demo:... This guy is reaaaaaally scary.

Ed: Yes, however, despite all this, Joe has his own downfall.


-Weakness

-Big Ego
-Can only transform in a crowd

-Limited number of Voomerangs and Shocking Pinks

-Using Zoom in causes doubles the damage to himself


Demo: Yeah, this guy is super egotistical and even a little vain, to the point of, I don't know, THAT HE MUST LITERALLY BE IN FRONT OF SOMEONE TO TRANSFORM!

Ruby: That's… Not very bright. Also, Joe has a limit of how many Voomerangs and Pink Shockers he can use. As well that when he uses the Zoom ability, he dangers himself as it double's any attack damage twice.

Ed: Despite a few 'shortcomings', Joe is still quite the force to mess with. He's the hero that Captain Blue trust to save the day.

*Viewtiful Joe: "A man wears a scar as a medal! Not to say I couldn't win unhurt."*


Ed: Alright, the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all!

Demo: Will Scott Pilgrim surpassed the action hero's legacy?

Ruby: Or will Viewtiful Joe prove to be A-head of the game than the two fist bass player? Is time, for a Deeeeeeeeeeeath Battleeeeeeee!


It was comic-con day in the streets of Toronto, Canada. People were going left and right, dress up as their favorite character or buying stuff they desperately want. Through the crowd of this mess, was a young man with light-brunette short hair, a green shirt under a blue jacket and light-brunette long pants. He was looking left and right, searching for something.

('Come on...It has to be here somewhere.')

Says Scott Pilgrim with a hurry expression in his face. His eyes suddenly stop on a stand on the end of the path he was. There it was. He quickly sprints his way to his destination very fast, making several people spin anime style. His hands grab ahold of the item he wanted...but it wasn't the only one. Next to him was a short man with red hair under his hat, and had average clothes, the most iconic thing is the watch on his right arm.

Scott: "Hey! What are you doing!?"

Joe: "Uh, I can ask you the same thing!"

They both pick said item and began to pull.

Scott: "Let go! I saw it first!"

Joe: "Wrong, dude! I saw it first!"

The continue to pull harder and harder, actually making both of them yank each other off, that is until their slippery fingers let you of the item, it fly up into the air, both of them fell back to their butts and could only stare with widened eyes, slow motion as the item was pulled by gravity. And when it touched the ground, a sound of pieces scattered with an eco.

Both boys eyes were shadow by their hair as they slowly stood up. As well balling their hands into fists.

Scott: "You…! Do you have any idea how long I was waiting for this masterpiece to be in my hands?!"

The bass player shouts at the red-haired with an accusation finger. Joe didn't answer to him, he hasn't even looked at him for a moment, that is until the movie lover raised his right arm in front, showing the video gamer a watch with a 'V' on it as his hand had the rock-and-roll sign.

Joe: "I can say the same to you, punk… I have been searching for this item collection for 8 years...And just as it was in my hands….is now gone!"

Suddenly the watch began to glow brightly to the area, forcing Scott and everyone around them to cover their eyes.

Joe: "HENSHIN-A-GO-GO BABY!"

Inside the light, Joe began to change, his clothes transform into a red superhero costume with white gloves and boots, the 'V' pop off the watch and appeared in his forehead, where suddenly, a red helmet with a vizor cover his face. Lastly, a long flowing pink-reddish cape appeared behind him. He then flexes his muscles like Shawn Michaels before spinning around and did his 'viewtiful' pose.

Viewtiful Joe: "You're gonna pay for it!"

Scott stares at him with a shock expression before shaking it away and stood in his fighting pose, he knew that this was one fight he cannot let go without serious pain.


Ready Player One!

FIGHT!


Scott charge first, striking Joe in the face, follow a few punches to the stomach and a kick combo to the side. He was about to punch him again...only to be hit in the back of his head, which send him hard on the ground, being oblivious of the black and white screen going down. When Scott stood up, he was welcome with a fist to the face. Viewtiful Joe used this momentum to throw some quick punches to Scott's stomach. Finishing with his Groovy Uppercut, sending the brunette into the air. The red hero jump and without hesitation started his air combo, punching, and kicking, finishing with an air cartwheel that send Scott into the ground, bouncing away into a stand. From the mess, he stood up dress in what it appears to be a dummy shirt. He quickly removed it from his personal before looking up and jumping away from Joe's Red Hot Kick.

Joe tried to turn around and uppercut him, but Scott was faster as he punches the red-clad hero's face once again. He follows it with his spinning Tatsumaki Senpukyaku and send Viewtiful flying back, but he recovers in the hair and threw his Voomerang at Scott, who dodge it before charging at the movie lover with a Joudan Sokutogeri, only for Joe to V-Dodge it, and send his punches to Pilgrim, who block and send his own punches at Joe, forcing him to jump back. And before he knew, the Voomerang had hit the back of the bass player's head, dazing him for a moment, one that Joe took.

Viewtiful Joe: "Mach Speed!"

With the white-black screen appearing from up and down, Joe's white gloves began to fire-rapidly hit Scott, hitting him 16 times before finishing with an uppercut. As Scott was in the air, Joe prepares his Pink Shocker by bouncing it on his feet. When the bomb was big enough, he kicks it up, just as Scott was coming down.

BOOM!

The explosion shook the building, causing the spectators to scramble away from the incoming human body as it crashes into more booths. As that happens, Joe's watch glow and suddenly, his Six Machine appeared, in its aircraft mode. He quickly jumps on it and began to fly up. Returning to the crashed booths, Scott jumps out from it, a scowl plaster in his face.

Scott: "Looks like I have to go serious here."

With that said, he summons his sword, The Power of Self-Respect. He saw the incoming red aircraft heading his way, shooting several missiles at him. Scott began to evade all the missiles, some of them were dodge and others were cut by his swords. This continues until Scott suddenly jump on one of the rockets and began to hop on each rocket to the Six Machine. He jumps the last one and hovers around with his sword up high. Joe lookup and quickly jump away from his seat, just as Scott came down and stab the sword in the seat. Scott went after Viewtiful Joe, slashing in his way, but the movie lover dodging skills were put to the test, that is until he uses his Slow ability, appearing quickly behind the Sex Bomber as he places his hands together.

Viewtiful Joe: "Time to go Slow~!"

Joe jabs his hand on Scott, electrocuting him on the back for a few minutes before he pulls back. The brunette blink in confusion at what happened, but as he turn around, he felt his movement very, very, but very slow.

Scott: "Wwwwhhhaaaaaaaatttttt?!"

Joe proceeds to kick him out of the vehicle, causing Scott to let go of The Power of Self-Respect and send hard on the floor. Scott began to stand up, with trouble as his back was in pain and slow as he was still slow. Joe then flew down and change his aircraft into a racing car. The vehicle touch ground and sprint forward. At the moment, Scott finally stood up, at the same time the Slow ability wore off. He looks at his hand and moves it, he then heard an engine coming his way and jump over the Six Machine as it drives through where he was once. Joe turns the car around and charge at Scott once again, the brunette land on the ground and quickly took out and spin a Bass Guitar. Just as the Six Machine car came close to him his fingers caressed the strings hard, a forcefield appeared around him. In which the car crash into it, cartoon style. The car pop out from the shield which it disappears afterward.

Viewtiful Joe had birds flying through his head before shaking it off, only to see Scott on top of him, his Bass up in the air. In a panic, Joe presses the gas as began to drive forward, forcing Scott to almost lose his balance and tried to regain it. He controls his balance and rose his Bass and tried to hit the hero of Movieland. Joe dodges the weapon several times (Which is weird considering his head was the size of a TV) before taking out a flaming Voomerang and slam it vertically at Scott who blocks it with the Bass. As they fought, the Six Machine was crashing through more booths and people, sending them into the air while screaming.

Back to the fight, both nerds were still struggling against each other, until the eyes of the Hero look forward for a moment, seeing the wall that they were heading into. With an idea in head, he uses all his strength to push Scott of him, taking his balance off. He then grabs the leg and quickly uses his Slow ability, once again slowing the Fighting gamer, who scowls at his forgetful mind. Joe then let go of the driving wheel and use his Groovy Uppercut, sending once again his opponent in the air. Joe jump to follow him with a Shocking Pink in hand. When he was in front of the brunette, he shoves the bomb to him and roundhouse Scott in the stomach, sending Scott at blinding speed into the wall, followed by the pink bomb exploding. Scott was daze from it, and to make things worst, the Six Machine crash into him. Viewtiful Joe maneuver in the air before landing in the ground. He turns around from the wall where his opponent was posing with his watch in the front, glowing red.

Viewtiful Joe: "And that! Is how to be awesome!"

BOOOOOOM!

When he said that, the Six Machine explodes behind him, causing destruction and smokes worth of a photo. Joe didn't look back because cool guys don't look at explosion….If he had done that, he would have noticed the green blur that came out from the smokes. When he heard quick footsteps coming at him, he did look back but it was too late as Scott Pilgrim punch him in the face before punching four more times, followed by a heavy headbutt that causes Joe to bounce up, ending with Scott pulling his right arm back and use his Fukiage, sending the red-clad hero in the air. Scott jumps and uses his Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, hitting his opponent 3 times, before blade kicks him down. Joe smash and bounce off the ground, but recovered to land on his feet. He charges at Scott, who landed in front of him and tried to punch him, only for Joe to V-Dodge it at the last second. He uses his Zoom ability, and instead of slowing Scott, he was completely paralyzed. Without waste, Joe began to beat the leaving hell off the video gamer; punches, spinning kicks and finishing with-

Viewtiful Joe: "Mach Speed!"

A fury of his trademark fire punches to Scott, finishing with his Groovy Uppercut, sending Scott away from him.

Announcer: "VIIIIIIIIEWTIFUL COMBO!"

Scott crash and stumble through the floor, standing up and sliding to a stop. He spits out blood from his mouth, and stood in one knee, he was breathing heavy and sweat was dripping from his forehead. He knew that he was at his limits.

Joe too was breathing heavy as well, he was at his limit. By taking a breath through his lungs, he raises his hand once more.

Viewtiful Joe: "Come on! Six Machine!"

A light appears on top of him, and from there, a giant red machine appeared. Joe grabs the Six Machine weapon, aim it at Scott and-

Viewtiful Joe: "Fire!"

A beam that resembles Iron Man's Unibeam shot out from the weapon. The Nerd recover his breath and stood up, he saw Viewtiful Joe aiming his gigantic weapon at him, making his eyes widened. He then notices The Power of Self-Respect inches away from, as well the beam floating in the air. His mind working faster, he quickly sprints forward….and slide down the beam. He grabs the sword and sends it high into the air before focusing on running at Joe. The Movieland Hero didn't have time to think as Scott appeared under the beam Shoryuken him in the jaw, sending him into the air.

Scott: "Time to end this!"

Pilgrim jump into the air after Joe, and began to throw his punches, again and again, driving Joe higher and higher into the air, reaching and breaking his 64 combo hit into 74 combo, ending by the brunette grabbing Viewtiful, moving to his back, locking his hands around his waist and rise him up and drop down, suplexing him hard on the floor. Joe bounces away while Pilgrim quickly stood up and at the exact moment, he caught his sword.

Viewtiful stood up, daze from the beat down. But then, Scott appeared behind his back, The Power of Self-Respect in hand and in a stray line, and a slicing sound going through the air. Moments later, a single, diagonal slash appeared in Viewtiful body. Joe screams in pain before becoming smoke, and a handful of coins fell to the floor.

Scott made his sword disappear and happily began to gather the coins from the floor, with some luck, he can still buy something else that he was looking for.

K.O!


Demo: Damn! That was like Mortal Kombat, only very retro!

Ed: Both Scott and Joe were at their finest, but the Canadian Fighter had this fight in the bag. While both of them were fast to either dodge attacks and send their combos attacks, Viewtiful been faster than Pilgrim, Scott was the stronger of the two, he can slam enemies hard on the earth and break metal apart.

Ruby: Let's not forget, between the two, Scott is the one that has actual fighting skills, while Joe is simply using the strength given by the V-Watch of Captain Blue. Speaking of strength, Joe's greatest strength feat is battling the Jadow members and Dante, whose fast enough to cut 108,000 raindrops in a second and strong enough to stop a titan's punch. But keep in mind, this all happened in Movieland, a place where anything can happen, because….is made out of a show… I don't get either.

Demo: Second here, and speaking of taking on, Scott's durability was far beyond anything that Joe has ever survived. He survived a fireball blast of 7.475 gigajoules of energy and been sent into the atmosphere and re-enter the subsequent of the world. To enter the atmosphere is about 11.186 km/s, and re-entering is about a 6,000,000 drop. He went through all this, in only 50 seconds, and was still okay to stand up.

Ed: Of course, the Six Machine of Viewtiful makes any weapon that Scott had paled at his, but is not the size that matters, is how you use it. Joe with the Six Machine is like giving a dog a diamond, no offense. Not forgetting, Scott is always thinking of ways to come on top against his opponents, either with weapons or fists.

Ruby: And, while Joe can stop time, is only for a few moments, not enough to actually finish his fight, as well that he loves to show off. In the end, Scott was far stronger and durable than Viewtiful Joe, at being honest, didn't had anything to put Scott down for good.

Demo: Well, one Nerd won this fight, and it was a 'Viewtiful' match.

Ed: The winner is Scott Pilgrim.
