''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131014221118/http://www.screwattack.com/shows/originals/death-battle Death Battle]'' is a special hosted by [[ScrewAttack|Screwattack.com]] and is presented by "Wiz" (Ben Singer) and "Boomstick" (Chad James), and as of episode 20, animated by [http://www.youtube.com/user/ShortFactor ShortFactor] (Jordan Lange). The point of the show is to take two similar characters and pit them against each other, analyzing their respective strengths and weaknesses to see who would win.
There are so far 21 videos. The first 18 episodes were/are featured on [[ScrewAttack]]'s [[YouTube]] account, and starting with episode 19 the series is now exclusive to the redesigned screwattack.com.
Line 60:
* [[Author Appeal]]: Wiz and Boomstick are huge fans of [[Final Fight|Haggar]]. {{spoiler|Too bad he lost against [[Street Fighter|Zangief]].}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: Boomstick has a BIG hatred for teen popstars, '''''especially''''' Justin Beiber.
** On that note, [https://web.archive.org/web/20110829053307/http://screwattack.com/blogs/DEATH-BATTLE/Justin-Bieber-VS-Rebecca-Black-DEATH-BATTLE one Death Battle] involved Bieber and Rebecca Black. [[Kill'Em All|Guess how it ended.]]
** Wiz really doesn't think highly of Michelangelo, so no points for guessing who ends up dying first in the Turtles' battle royale. They pretty much acknowledged that one before the fight.
{{quote|'''Boomstick''': Mikey's not gonna win this one, is he?
Line 92:
* [[Curb Stomp Cushion]]: Happens often. Screwattack has made battles that looked very close or even, when in reality the research proved the fight was much more one-sided than the fight itself shows. Case in point.
** {{Spoiler| Starscream VS Rainbow Dash. Starscream managed to inflict two blows on Rainbow Dash, both of which seemed to have done some damage to her, tricked her into giving an opening, and Dashy actually needed to avoid some of Screamer's attack in order to survive. The research showed that it wasn't really necessary, that Starscream was too slow to even touch her, and Rainbow Dash could've easily smashed Starscream to bits by herself.}}
** {{Spoiler| Vegeta VS Shadow. Despite Vegeta far surpassing Shadow in terms of raw power, the Ultimate Life Form still manages to get the slip on the Prince of all Saiyans. Super Shadow managed to blitz and overpower Vegeta in hand-to-hand combat
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Both Wiz and Boomstick have a fair ammount of snark in them.
** Vegeta had a couple good ones; for example, his response after shadow goes super?
Line 175:
* [[Shown Their Work]]: Before every fight, Wiz & Boomstick look through the history, abilities, arsenal, & weaknesses as presented in the canon of each fighters in great detail to determine who would win. Regardless of what one thinks of the results, they can't be accused of not doing their homework.
* [[Take a Third Option]]: {{spoiler|Wily uses his Roboenza on Metal Sonic, which sends Metal Sonic on a rampage, killing Eggman, which would normally be a win for Wily. But since Metal Sonic was Eggman's robot and kills Wily directly afterwards, Wiz and Boomstick can't decide who wins. So they just declare Metal Sonic victor.}}
* [[The Remake]]: The Starscream/Rainbow Dash battle was [https://web.archive.org/web/20131031052100/http://www.screwattack.com/shows/originals/death-battle/death-battle-starscream-vs-rainbow-dash remade] including new information and better effects in the battle.
** About 24 hours after Thor vs Raiden was released, Shortfactor (the animator) improved the visuals of the final phase of the battle, and was subsequently updated with the video.
* [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]
