User blog comment:Alemon97/DEATH BATTLE! Season 1 Retrospective/@comment-25620113-20170715022637

Great retrospective! Yeah, season 1 has not aged well and while I do disagree with you on some episodes (Eggman VS Wily I found to be pretty good for the amount of characters they tackled, Pikachu VS Blanka though I agree for the most part, I found the climax to be quite funny), I can easily see why and how you have rated the episodes the way you have. All in all, an interesting retrospective to say the least.

As for my introductory episode, I'm pretty sure it was Mario VS Sonic as well when Pikachu VS Blanka had just come out.
