''[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 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]]
