User blog:LukeTime128/LukeTime's Ranking of Death Battle Season 6

Hey guys, so I thought it might be fun to rank all 16 episodes of Season 6 before Season 7 starts at the end of the month!

Just for the record, no offence or slander is meant by the creation of this blog, either towards the official show or anyone who disagrees with my perspective and opinion. This is solely intended as a for-fun ranking of the Season 6 episodes before the new one starts. Keep in mind that I don't dislike any of these episodes, but there are definitely some I like more than others.

If you feel like it, feel free to make your own ranking below if you want :).l And, of course, there will be spoilers for all episodes, so keep that in mind.

With that out of the way, let's start!

16: Captain Marvel vs Shazam

To be fair, this is still a good episode. Analysis was pretty fun and music is pretty good. The fight doesn't really compare with some of the later fights this season though, in my opinion.

Simply put, the fight doesn't have too much action relative to the rest of the season. The finishing blow just kind of... happened, which is a shame since it's conceptually a great idea. Not sure how I feel about the sound and animation design for this fight as well, some things don't look or sound particularly polished.

As for the outcome, that's the other problem with this fight. As early as the character rundowns, it's fairly clear who the winner is going to be just based on the sheer stat difference, so it wasn't really a surprising conclusion and it kind of takes away from the fight's hype even more.

15: Deadpool vs The Mask

Honestly, I don't have any really noticeable issues with this fight, but compared to the others its probably the one I would want to re-watch the least. Not that it's boring, but I wasn't quite as impressed as I was with the others, I guess. The joke isn't really the same when it's been told two or three times, after all.

Animation was amazing, though. Both the animation and fight choreography perfectly fits the zany, over-the-top nature of these characters, and it's funny to match. At the same time, this is another fight where it wasn't really much of a question as to who we thought was going to win, considering, well, it's supposed to be a joke about Wiz and Boomstick trying to kill Deadpool. The pay-off was still worth it though.

Oh, and the voice-acting was great. Both guests nailed their character's voices and personalities, and really made the well-written dialogue hit well, to speak nothing about how the two hosts solidly convey the feel they were trying to give off with this episode.

14: Black Widow vs Widowmaker

Action here was spectacular, and it set a great standard for what the future 3D fights had to equal with its animation. At first, I was curious as to how a duel between a sniper and a non-sniper would have the same level of action as the previous two episodes did, but the team did a really good job here.

This match-up surprised me too, mostly because nobody really talked about it. But in hindsight, it seems kind of like an obvious fit. Oh, and it definitely has one of the best kills of the season. That was done incredibly well, and thanks to the writing, it was one of the harder episodes to deduce who you though would take the win.

Honestly, I feel as though the sound design could have been a little better, since it doesn't feel quite as fluid as the later or even earlier episodes did in this regard. While it set a great standard for the animation quality, the future episodes still surpassed it anyway in my opinion, so for as good as this episode was, I find it harder to re-watch and can't rank it much higher.

13: Aang vs Edward Elric

Animation was awesome, as was the writing. Both combatants got to make excellent use of their varied arsenals, and their tools were very well-portrayed in a great duel overall. I would've liked it if Ed got more actual hits i though, since Aang has a little too much control over the fight to make it more exciting.

I was legitimately surprised at the outcome here - mostly because from what I';d heard, this was supposed to be a very close fight. But in the end, it was one of the more one-sided match-ups. I still feel that this was the best fight to portray both characters though, so I'm not really bothered.

Voice-acting and dialogue were excellent, as were the analysis sections. I guess its just not quite as well-refined as some other fights this season, so that holds it back a little. I'm not as big a fan of the music either; not that its bad, but I feel as though more could have been done here and it doesn't convey much adrenaline, although the instrumentation was great.

12: Dragonzord vs Mechagodzilla

I was stuck between this and Aang vs Edward Elric, since I like them for similar reasons. But this fight has the added bonus of being one of the best kills of the season. Even though my preferred character lost, the hype of the final blow meant that I wasn't really bothered at all, just really excited.

Animation here was great, with most of the characters' arsenals getting shown off in a great way. This was a pretty good match-up too, and I can't really think of a better way to have done the overall fight. Music is more tame and underwhelming when compared to other tracks, but still pretty good.

I'm not sure how I feel about certain powers not being used, since the Dragonzord's arsenal was a lot smaller and I think it would've made the fight more interesting had more composite info had been used. Then again, the fight would probably have the same outcome so it doesn't matter too much.
