Having a good argument for your conclusion is absolutely necessary, but that doesn't mean you can't do a stomp match. As long as you make it clear that it it’s not a battle written out of spite, predictability in the outcome doesn’t matter. Half the fun is reading the fight even if you know who wins (which, mind you, has happened with real Death Battles. Victors can be obvious, but a lot of the enjoyment is centralized around the animation—or, in this case, the written fight section.)

At one point does a fight get labelled a stomp match, and is no longer able to be written? How much stronger must an opponent be? And if we did enforce this, what sense of entertainment value and freedom are we heavily limiting? If you come here solely for the close debates, you must already have certain fights in mind that you would love to see, yes? And although I hate the "Don't like it, don't consume it" argument, this is one rare place in which it applies.

There are countless users who came onto this wiki because they wanted to write battles where their combatants of choice faced off. And although you are required to do research into the conclusion of the fight, and battles can not—under any circumstance—be done under spite, that does not mean one-sided fights in general can be equally as enjoyable to watch as ones that are realistically a landslide.

While you may find enjoyment only in the equally matched, fiercely debated match-ups, there are many users who come here to write something well written. There are even more users who frequent this site because they want to read something well-written. So while there may be entertainment value sucked out for you, we cannot, and will not, restrict others of their writing liberties when it comes to fights considered stomps. Unless, of course, there is spite involved.

Do you understand what I'm trying to get across?
