Here's some tips for writing Wizard and Boomstick's analysis of characters, the battle itself, and the results.

For all three, it's a combination of both watching episodes and reading the script (or at least as far as we could replicate) on the Death Battle Wiki. For the character analysis, it helps to nail the structure (character's origins, weapons, armor, and skills, greatest feats and flaws), as well as how both hosts conduct themselves. While it's quite difficult to make it seem like 100% genuine Wizard and Boomstick ripped straight off of Death Battle itself, one can at least have their basic characteristics down.

Now for the battles, while we mostly write it out in a script form, others have taken to simply writing it out less so, so as to emote the characters more-so. Both ways work, though a script form would be best for starting off, then moving on to more emotive writing. As is with Ninja vs Pirate, I'd say you're already writing well for your first battle.

Then comes the trickiest part: explaining the results. Aside from continuing the Wizard and Boomstick replication, then you have to give the best explanation possible for why Character A beat Character B. This includes countering such points as "What about [insert weapon, ability, hidden power, loser's advantage over the winner, loser using another form, scenario in which the loser has the advantage, etc]. Which is not to say the best explanation possible will garner 100% agreement, but those who do disagree can see where you're coming from and even agree with some points. Once again, with Ninja vs Pirate, you have a good understanding for how to go about the reason for the result.

I could probably have worded this better and maybe these aren't the tips you're looking for. If there is anything specifically you need, let me know and I can get back to you. Happy writing.
