Lara Croft vs Nathan Drake – 6.5/10: Loved the matchup and the reasoning, animation wasn’t as great but decent still and while I loved learning about the characters I don’t remember much from the analysis and don’t really find myself going back to watch this episode

Scrooge vs Shovel Knight – 8/10: The animation was one of my favorites, the characters were fun to learn about and the analysis was fun. Reasoning was solid but I could still live without this matchup

Venom vs Bane – 5/10: Animation wasn’t very good, reasoning was right but obvious, and I really hate the matchup idea. The analysis was entertaining though and I would be lying if I said   I didn’t like the “we’re unbreakable” moment.

Power Rangers vs Voltron – 10/10: This fight was hype from the announcement to the ending. Loved literally everything about this battle and even got a liking of the Power Rangers out of it.

Natsu vs Ace – 7/10: Didn’t know or care for either character and while it was cool to learn about them I didn’t find myself finding both interesting (I did however end up rooting for Ace during the analysis) however the episode still proved to be solid in every department.

Sub Zero vs Glacius – 7/10: Sigh…. People about to hate me but…..Analysis was chill. Hate to be cold but the fight wasn’t that nICE, but I thoroughly enjoyed the reasoning. I felt that everyone lost their cool just like with Tracer vs Scout despite the fact DB provided really good reasoning. I really hope no one gives me the cold shoulder after this.

Android 18 vs Captain Marvel – 7/10: Just like Natsu vs Ace I didn’t really care for either character (although I ended up remember how much I enjoyed Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and remembered C. Marvel was actually likable there) everything about the episode was solid despite the mistakes made with it but for Ben to come out immediately after the fight and admit and own up to the mistakes earned him and the team some more respect from me

Metal sonic vs Zero -   9/10: Despite me wanting both characters to fight someone else (Amazo and Meta Knight respectively) I found myself enjoying the matchup. Research proved what I feared/knew (I was rooting for Metal Sonic despite my better judgement) but the animation was simply amazing and the music was on point. I also got to learn more about the X series which is probably my favorite series of Mega Man (honestly due to Zero mostly)

Lucario vs Renamon – 7/10: The only thing that really hurts this episode in my opinion is how short the episode was. I was especially excited because the animator for this was the same as Mega Man vs Astro Boy which was my favorite 2D fight for a long time. It being as short as it was added to the disappointment.

Balrog vs TJ Combo – 10/10: This fight was hype. The boxing ring was cool, the fact it was treated like a proper boxing match was cool. The fight was amazing. Back to Rise was stuck in my head for a month and is now part of my workout playlist. Reasoning was really good (the fact they researched actual boxing and not just the characters was a nice touch) all around great episode

Shredder vs Silver Samurai – 8/10: This is one of the few fights (Actually it might be the only fight) I went in preferring one character and by the end liking the other character more. This fight got me into the Ninja Turtles because of how great it was, Silver who now?

Smokey vs Mcgruff – 9/10: The animation had me wanting more hand drawn stuff, the matchup is fun as hell, this fight was exactly want it was suppose to be and the fact it had an actual winner makes me love it more

Thor vs Wonder Woman 9/10: Not as good as Balrog vs TJ or PR vs Voltron but way better than Lara vs Nathan. The analysis made me like Thor and it was fun learning about both characters.

Naruto vs Ichigo – 7.5/10: Everything was solid and despite being the longest 2D episode I don’t find myself interested in either franchise even after the fight. Solid episode just didn’t have a lot invested and probably won’t go back to watch it. I do want to give an extra half point however cause I love the little tabs idea. That was a nice touch and welcome their future inclusion in other episodes.

Batman Beyond vs Spider-Man 2099 – 9/10: Wanted this matchup for a good while and enjoyed the analysis) especially since the tabs weren’t a one time thing) Agreed with the reasoning (saw quite a few people underselling Terry cause they only gave him tv show feats, which is ironic since the rock thing was a tv feat) just wish the fight was longer, had it been this might have gotten a 10/10
