Ryu Hayabusa vs Strider Hiryu - Ryu felt severely nerfed in this fight. The True Dragon Blade combined with ninpo would have been enough to take out Strider.

Terminator vs RoboCop - RoboCop is more durable, but based on the research I did, that is really all he has going for him. The plasma shots would have weakened him significantly, allowing Terminator to land a finishing blow.

Luigi vs Tails - In their base forms, Luigi stomps. Sure, Tails can heal himself, but that really wouldn't have been enough to allow him to beat Luigi, even with the speed advantage.

Fulgore vs Sektor - Sektor is way too fast for Fulgore to hit. Sure, Fulgore is physically stronger and more durable, but with Sektor's speed, I don't think he could really hit him.

Tigerzord vs Gundam Epyon - Gundam Epyon holds the speed advantage. However, Tigerzord edges out in every other category.

Ryu vs Scorpion - They seriously low-balled Ryu here. Sure, Scorpion can teleport, but Ryu can easily hit Scorpion in Evil form and with the Power of Nothingness. It also takes way longer for Scorpion to become more powerful than the fight actually portrays.

Gaara vs Toph - I don't think I need to explain this one.

Guts vs Nightmare - Guts does fight demons on a regular basis. However, Nightmare is way stronger than any of the demons Guts has fought.

Goku vs Superman 2 -  SSG and SSB Goku are incredibly powerful. Superman should not have been able to walk through the Super Kamehameha. Superman has fought Darkseid, but Goku fought a literal god of destruction (Beerus).

Wolverine vs Raiden - This should have been way closer than it actually was. Raiden is faster and can slow down time for himself, and I accept that the sword can cut adamantium. However, Wolverine could have easily taken him out of any time and the sword would've taken longer to cut throught adamantion.

Yang vs Tifa - Seriously nerfed Tifa here. Yang is nowhere near Tifa's level. However, I do understand why she won, as it was a memorial episode for Monty Oum, one of RWBY's animators.

Mega Man vs Astro Boy - This is way closer than it was portrayed. While I do agree with Astro Boy winning, Mega Man's arsenal and better physical strength would have made this closer than it actually was in my opinion.

Bowser vs Ganon - Again, another case of nerfing a combatant. Holy weapons are Ganondorf's weakness, but he can be killed by other means. Bowser making himself bigger would have easily taken Ganon out.

Mewtwo vs Shadow - Shadow has resisted mind control before, meaning that he could resist Mewtwo's psychic and mind-wiping attacks. Also, Shadow and Super Shadow are way too fast for Mewtwo to keep up with.

Zoro vs Erza - Erza's artificial eye would allow her to see through Zoro's illusion. While Zoro is faster and has pulled off some impressive stuff, Erza's many armours and weapons would eventually prove too much for him. As much as I love both animes, I feel Erza wins this.

Android 18 vs Captain Marvel - Android 18 can't absorb energy. If she can, the other androids did show that it had to be through physical contact, which the beam attack from Binary didn't do. While I agree 18 is faster, Marvel takes it in her Binary form.

Metal Sonic vs Zero - Metal Overlord needed a single hit to take Zero out. Zero could keep up with Metal Sonic, but Metal Overlord is way too powerful for Zero. I do agree that Zero is faster than Metal Sonic, but overall, I feel that Metal Sonic should have won.

Balrog vs TJ Combo: Balrog's brute strength alone would eventually prove too much for TJ. TJ is faster, but Balrog is physically stronger and more durable, so I feel like he should have taken this.

Mewtwo vs. Shadow and Zoro vs. Erza were bad IMO. Anyways, if Ganon can only be killed by holy weapons, why put him up against someone who doesn't have holy weapons in the first place?

To be fair, Balrog vs. TJ Combo was a pretty close fight...I can't say the same for the last two.
