Line 17:
== The remaining SWAT team guy is... ==
...nobody famous. But I have a theory that his name is Michael, for some reason.
* No, the remaing SWAT team member is [[The Spoony Experiment
== Ninja Vs. Pirate will be the series finale. ==
Line 45:
** In order for the monk to be trained with twin hooks and other such weapons, he'd have to be a recent generation. He may just be time displaced in pre-contact with the British New Zealand by the time he's attacked. Or post-contact but the particular Maori he encounters doesn't have a gun.
* William Wallace vs. Shaka Zulu: To further his plans for world domination and to increase his territory, Shaka's forces conquer Scotland. To free his people, William Wallace goes to Africa to challenge the man himself to a duel to the death.
** Alternatively, [[A Scotsman in Egypt
* Taliban vs. IRA: The Taliban were intending to set up a bomb intended for a prominent celebrity in the USA. However, the celebrity had financial links to the IRA, so they sent troops over to keep their money safe, upon recieving word of the plans.
** Alternative: Watching the opening again, you can see some of the IRA men waving off the fight. Possibly, the IRA were trying to negotiate with the Taliban against the British, and things went south fast.
Line 82:
** Option the fifth: Shortly after the American Revolution, Napoleon sets his eyes on a French Empire in the Americas, instead of the rest of Europe. President Washington realizes then that he must take up arms for his country once again.
* Joan of Arc vs. William the Conqueror: During the time of the simulation, Normandy is still part of England. Joan of Arc receives another message from Saints Catherine, Michael, and Margaret, who tell her that Normandy should become a part of France. Once diplomatic attempts at accomplishing this fail, Joan prepares to take it by force. William hears about this and goes out himself in order to stop Joan.
** Alternatively, after conquering England, William decides not to stop there, and returns to the mainland to try to subjugate the rest of France. The prophecy surrounding Joan thus comes much earlier, and she is born earlier, to defend against the English under William. This seems more plausible to me, as William's most notable role in history is [[Exactly What It Says
* U.S. Army Rangers vs. North Korean Special Operations Forces: The cold war on the Korean Peninsula has finally gotten hot. The Rangers, having already captured a vital air strip at the beginning of the war, are moving on to their next objective: a large, strategic power plant/dam/communications array that must be taken or destroyed. The North Koreans know exactly how important this location is and have their best waiting and ready for anyone that dares to try and take it.
* Hannibal vs. Genghis Khan: Hannibal has defeated Rome and stands as the undisputed master of North Africa and Europe. Genghis Khan, meanwhile, is the lord of all Asia and the Middle East. Both conquerors, eager to continue the expansion of their empires, are now on a collision course to decide the future of an entire hemisphere.
Line 93:
* Ivan the Terrible vs. Hernan Cortes: Russia wants a piece of the New World for itself, and establishes colonies in North America. They eventually butt heads with Spain, who are also colonizing the continent. Eventually, war breaks out between the two countries.
** Alternative: One of Cortes's informants has been found in Russian territory and sentenced to death for spying. Cortes goes to rescue him, only to find Ivan himself observing the execution.
** Alternative: Ivan, in the midst of a murderous manic-depressive episode, decides to spend the day ordering executions of any peasants he sees. The people of the villages appeal to Cortes for help. [[Only in It For
* Crazy Horse vs. Pancho Villa: Pancho and his followers enter the United States trying to convince the local militias to support the Mexican Revolution. On the way, however, they stumble upon Crazy Horse, who mistakes them for mercenaries sent to kill him.
** Alternative: Crazy Horse flees to Mexico, but Pancho thinks he is trying to establish a new nation in the North and they fight
* French Foreign Legion vs. Gurkhas: War has broken out between France and Nepal, and both countries send their best troops to the fight.
** Alternately the British and French have gone back to their old ways (you know, hating each other and declaring wars every couple of decades) and the British Gurkha troops are sent in to take out the best France has to offer.
* Vampire vs. Zombie: The zombie apocalypse has caused an influx of humans into the arctic, where they were picked off by the vampire (remember that the "expert" for the vampire is the author of [[
** Alternatively, a zombie outbreak has devastated a small town, driving a local trio of [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire|Friendly Neighborhood Vampires]] to become...[[Let's Get Dangerous|a little less friendly]]. They learn of a swarm of zombies descending on the survivors, and rise to get rid of the menace.
** The zombie apocalypse has killed most humans, robbing them of blood to drink. The last humans make a pact with the vampires: blood for protection from the zombies. Wasn't there a book like this? If there wasn't, there should be.
Line 163:
** Well, Chuck Norris DID lose to Bruce Lee, so maybe the Ninja and Samurai were Bruce Lee.
== The Spetsnaz vs. IRA simulation was a modded game of ''[[
Spetsnaz forces are present in ''Condition Zero'' as a counter-terrorist faction. The IRA are (obviously) terrorists. A modder might have created a skin or two based off of IRA insurgents.
== There's a deleted scene from Dumas' [[The Three Musketeers (
* Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D'Artagnan were out carousing, as per usual, and one of them (probably [[The Ace|Athos]] or [[Boisterous Bruiser|Porthos]]) was challenged by a foolish Cardinal's Guard to a duel.
Line 175:
== The Spetsnaz versus Green Beret battle took place in [[STALKER|the Zone]]. ==
Look at that abandoned factory they're wrestling around in. That's clearly somewhere in the Zone, most likely around the Agroprom Institute. The Green Berets were sent into the Zone for [[War for Fun
* Can we expand this to say the IRA/Spetsnaz battle also took place in the Zone? IRA out looking for some quick cash from finding artifacts, and the Spetsnaz coming to clean them up?
Line 210:
** Jossed.
== Season 4 will have [[The Bible
Since the matches have been more obviously "do any cheap tricks to try for ratings" over the seasons, this one would bing a couple of big ones to the table. Arab Israeli overtones would certainly get some controversy, and they would also have an opportunity to show Muhammed's face to get more attention (Though it might be too much of the wrong sort of attention). Stirring up religious feeling in general would also on its own attract attention. Of course, David would have to be given a good sling, which would break the pattern of slings not doing much in this episode.
== There will be more fictional matchups ==
Line 219:
* [[Godzilla]] vs. Gamera
* [[Dawn of War|Gabriel Angelos]] vs. [[Mass Effect|Jane Shepard]]
* [[
* [[Raiders of the Lost Ark
* [[A Song of Ice and Fire|Faceless Man]] vs. [[The Wheel of Time|Grey Man]]
** Here's a thought, [[Actor Allusion]] time: [[Raiders of the Lost Ark
* werewolves vs the kitsune or the chinese vampire vs the lich, those two match ups are this troper's personal choices.
* [[Metal Gear Solid|FOXHOUND]] vs. the [[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater|Cobra Unit]]. Hell yes.
* Team Rocket vs. [[Codename: Kids Next Door|Sector V]].
* [[Splinter Cell|Sam Fisher]] vs. [[Batman]]
* [[Halo: Reach|Noble Team]] vs. [[Starcraft|Raynor's Raiders]]
* [[Halo|Master Chief]] vs. [[Metroid|Samus Aran]]
* [[Fallout|The Brotherhood Of Steel]] vs. [[Rage|The Authority]]
Line 247:
All testing is just for show. They actually use their time machine computer to bring warriors together, force them to fight, and film it all.
== The narrator is actually [[
That's why the Spartan always wins.
Line 255:
* [[Girl Genius]] - Othar Tryggvassen...GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER!
* [[Crazy Awesome|Captain Jack Churchill!]]
* [[God of War (
* [[Deadpool]]
Line 314:
== Season 4 will end with [[Elves vs. Dwarves]] ==
* They've already used vampires, so we can't see vampires vs. werewolves. With the major creatures of ''horror'' out of the way, the next logical step is to move onto the most famous creatures of [[High Fantasy]], who have already been established as rarely being friendly. The weapons test will pit traditional dwarven weapons like axes, hammers, crossbows, and maybe early gunpowder technology against elven weapons such as spears, rapiers, and longbows. Dr. Dorian will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the elves' produce based diet versus the more protein rich diet of the dwarves, and also give the elves an advantage because of longer height and reach, but the dwarves will have greater physicality and endurance. X-Factors will include the elves' motivation to protect nature and their forests against the dwarves' drive to amass gold and further their craftsmanship. The panel of experts will be [[
** Alternatively, maybe we'll go into [[Science Fiction]] and see things like aliens against spacemarines.
** This acutally sounds cool.
