Also, even if the Mane 6 were somehow able to kill the others, the Sniper and Spy would finish it with headshots and backstabs. Pretty sure mach 10, fourth wall-breaking, and most of Twilight's spells beats bears and Merasumus. I'll give you training and experience tho. However, I'd argue that Twilight's spells along would be just as  versatile, if not more, than all the Mercs' weapon.

Last I checked, I don't think Sniper would be able to snipe two ponies at mach 10 and one pony who can teleport. Would probably be able to snipe the remaining three tho, could be wrong. I'd also give the Mane 6 the benefit of their friendship as in they can see through Spy's disguise because of their close friendship and Spy's lack of information towards them. I'll give you the fourth wall breaking, however, Pinkie Pie doesn't effect others, just herself. Speed could be countered by Engi's sentry, Pyro's flamethrower, Demo's sticky bombs, Scout's scattergun, Heavy's mini gun, or Sniper's SMG.

Sure, Twilight's spells may be an obstacle, but her teleportating would depend on her reaction speed, as this would be a chaotic battle with bullets and projectiles flying everywhere.

If we're going by Death Battle rules, Spy would have no knowledge of the ponies. Thus, he wouldn't use his disguise kit. So, he'd probably use his invis watch to get close to them. Which, I doubt they could see through.

Who said the Sniper would try to snipe her while she's going mach 10? He'd wait for her land while sniping her friends. Remember, Sniper always finds a safe place to camp.

This really depends on the location. If it's Equestria or one of the TF2 maps, then the Mercs would easily win. If it's a large open area, then maybe the Mane 6. Yes, Pinkie doesn't affect others, but that's all she needs. A bloodlusted Pinkie won't need her friends, just herself. Um, no. If you are faster than someone's reaction speed, they wouldn't be able to hit you are at all. Also, they can just dodge the rate of fire, not just the Pyro.

Doesn't stop her from teleporting and creating a shield from said projectiles.

I'll give you this, though the moment he decloaks he is unlikely to be able to do much.

You know, that's like saying Harry would win against Luke because he can sneak up on Luke and just use the insta-death spell or Quicksilver would kill Flash when he's asleep. Also, the location is neutral in Death Battle, as in the location shouldn't affect the outcome. I just remembered that Scout is also a 4th wall breaker.

"Scout seems to have an ability to break the fourth wall, and he does this quite a bit. He tells dominated players to "ragequit", despite the game being set in 1968, before video games were invented, he pokes the camera lens in "Meet The Scout" and the smudgy fingerprint stays there until the end of the video, and he slams into the screen in "Meet The Medic"."

I don't know if that'd make a difference, because he doesn't seem to ever use it like Pinkie or Deadpool do. Just thought I'd mention it.

Re-watching Meet the Scout, he passes by gunfire, sentry fire, and flamethrower fire. So, yeah, if Scout can pass by that, then RD could most definitely dodge. But, that's assuming she stays at mach 10 speed the whole time.

Could a magic shield stop a bullet, though? I mean, I know telekinesis and mind powers could. But, we've never seen bullets in MLP, so how do we know that bullets would be stopped? Unless, she's blocked something similar before. (Which, honestly it's been quite a while since I've watched MLP, so I'm not sure if she has. And it's not like I analyzed everything when I did.) Teleporting would be good, but how proficient is she with that? Can she do that forever, or is there a limit?

Spy's watch makes a loud noise when he uncloaks, unfortunately. So, it's true it's unlikely he'll be able to get a backstab. Unless, he's further away when he does. Which he probably would be, and if that were the case, he has a revolver.

It's in the Sniper's character to find a safe place to snipe and get a headshot whenever he can. He's not really an out-in-the-open type of guy, as he'd get destroyed if he were out in the open. Also, I meant that it would be toward the end of the battle when everyone's dead and it's just her and him alive.

I have to ask. Which weapons will each class have? Will they all have their stock weapons?
