Interlude
(*Cues: Wiz & Boomstick - Brandon Yates*)

Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.

Ryu
Wiz: He's the hero the world never knew. His name means prosperous, plentiful and abundant. He is the wandering warrior. He is... Ryu.

Boomstick: That's a pretty epic introduction for a hobo.

Wiz: Orphaned at a young age, Ryu was adopted by the martial arts master Gouken. Under Gouken's training and beside his fellow student, Ken Masters, Ryu was trained in the art of Ansatsuken.

'''Boomstick: AKA: The Assassination Fist. This ancient fighting style was specifically designed for murder, which automatically makes it the best martial art ever.'''

Wiz: Well, Gouken actually taught Ryu a slightly altered variant of the Ansatsuken. Inspired by Karate, Kenpo, and Judo, Gouken's version was a generally non-lethal one.

Boomstick: Oh, lame.

Wiz: But the deadly side of the martial art lived on in Gouken's brother, Akuma; who would ultimately prove to be Gouken's downfall. One day, Ryu and Ken returned to their dojo to find their master... dead.

'''Boomstick: Eh, kind of. He got better later. But Ryu didn't know that, so he swore to wander the Earth, perfecting his abilities until he could take down Akuma himself.'''

Wiz: With the Ansatsuken style, Ryu is a master at close quarter combat. With such techniques as the Shoryuken uppercut and flying Hurricane Kick, he can take down most foes in mere seconds.

'''Boomstick: He's like a living helicopter of pain! But he can also use his Ki as a weapon, firing a fireball of energy from his palms. Say it with me... "Hadouken!!"'''

Wiz: Gouken's version of the Ansatsuken also taught Ryu several defensive techniques, including the skill to parry most other attacks with precise timing.

Boomstick: And with all these awesome powers of whooping ass, Ryu eventually made his way to the World Warrior Tournament.

Wiz: With his skills, Ryu quickly reached the top of the competition. For the title of World Warrior, he faced his toughest opponent yet; Sagat.

'''Boomstick: Who ended up beating the shit out of him. But Sagat was surprisingly a pretty good sport; so when he though the fight was over, he offered Ryu a hand up.'''

Wiz: And in that moment, something dark swelled from within Ryu's consciousness. A force so fierce and destructive, he couldn't contain it. And he lashed out. With an enraged shout and an explosion of blood, Ryu emerged as champion over Sagat's near-dead body. Ryu's dark side had been unleashed. This was the Satsui No Hado.

Jin Kazama
Wiz: If you met Jin Kazama when he was just a boy,you wouldn't figure he'll grow up to be one of the most dangerous men to ever live.

Boomstick: Unless you already knew about his super deadly and super crazy family.

Wiz: Jin was raised by his single mother, who taught him the Kazama family style martial arts after his father abandons them.

'''Boomstick: Aah, story of my life. No really, those training days with Mama Boomstick were some of the best times of my life.'''

Wiz: One day, Jin's mother sensed a great evil approaching. She told him that if anything were to happen to her, he should seek out his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima.

'''Boomstick: Right on cue, a big ass ogre showed up and attacked them. When Jin came to, his mom and Shrek were nowhere to be seen. Don't' you hate it how moms are always right?'''

Wiz: Thankfully, it wasn't too difficult for Jin to find Heihachi.

Results
Wiz: The winner is...
