Description[]
Season 1, Episode 1: Sonic the Hedgehog VS Kid Icarus. These two may be immature kids, but when push comes to shove, they'll stand up for what's right, but only one can win a Death Battle.
Introduction[]
Aqua: They say wisdom comes with age, but our combatants today, while great heroes, certainly aren't the most... mature, when it comes to heroics.
Octo: Silver, the psychokinetic time traveling hedgehog.
Aqua: And Pit, the angel guardian to the god of light, Palutena. I'm Aqua, she's Octoling, and it's our job to analyse their weapons, armor and skills to see who would win a Death Battle.
Silver[]
Aqua: The future. It holds many mysteries and answers to the question: what happens next.
Octo: But in terms of the future Silver the Hedgehog is used to, that answer is nothing but a flaming and destroyed world.
Aqua: Hailing from 200 years ahead of time, Silver was a brash hedgehog that fought in the name of justice. However, despite being content with his life, fighting fire monsters and all, there was one thing that he wanted to change.
Octo: Yeah, fucking everything. To fix his world, Silver had asked this shady creature - you may remember him, the guy who fought DIO - Mephiles the Dark, who told him that the cause of this ruptured time was the fastest thing alive, Sonic the Hedgehog.
Aqua: Being a teenager - and therefore naive - Silver believed Mephiles, and went back in time to kill Sonic and save the world once more.
Octo: You know, despite the fact that these claims were bullshit, and that Mephiles just wanted Sonic out of the way so he could fuse with a god sealed inside some princess's soul, but hey, Silver didn't know that.
Aqua: After many encounters with Sonic in battle, eventually the blue blue and Shadow the Hedgehog had convinced him that Sonic wasn't evil after all.
Octo: Which was pretty obvious from the start! Honestly, this kid is just Raiden from Metal Gear. Same voice actor, confusing backstories...
Aqua: So teaming up with Sonic, Shadow and their allies, Silver turned against Mephiles and attempted to set things right.
Octo: Until the game got erased from existence, was made non-canon and forced Silver to appear all the fucking time in other games. Don't worry, by Sonic Colors DS everything in the future got better.
Aqua: Obviously, Silver has a bunch of superpowers that let him take on both Sonic and those fire monsters in his time.
Octo: I mean, duh, Mephiles wouldn't have hired Silver and his skills if he was just a useless kid. Well... Sonic Forces showed him otherwise, but still.
Aqua: As a Sonic character, Silver can use both his speed and his hedgehog physicality to perform different spinning moves that allow him destroy robots with ease.
Octo: Because all Sonic characters have these moves, why would Silver be any exception!?
Aqua: The standard Spin Attack is exactly that, a spinning attack, but if Silver is in a battle with a group of robots rather than one, he can target each individually using the Homing Attack.
Octo: And as for the Spin Dash, Silver can bolt along the ground at high speeds once he supercharges his ball form while grounded. When you consider the nature of Silver's true powers, I'm surprised that these moves don't mess with his ability.
Aqua: Speaking of that unique power, Silver has the power of psychokinesis, which allows him to utilise limited telepathy and telekinesis.
Octo: Basically, Silver can pick up things with his mind. Yeah, like those two anime characters that fought each other with buildings and rocks and all that stuff.
Aqua: Yeah, though moreso like Tatsumaki rather than Mob. Silver's psycho powers include, again, telekinesis. With this power, not only can Silver grab objects around him to use as projectiles, even being able to form a 'final smash' move called the Meteor Smash, but he can even grab opponents and toss them about just as easily.
Octo: Then there's the Psychic Knife, a sharp blade of energy that can be fired both up and down and left and right.
Aqua: Horizontally and vertically.
Octo: Shuddup, you know I don't like big words.
Aqua: Whatever. Anyway, the Psychic Knife has been able to slice through cars and even entire buildings in an attempt to take down Silver's targets. Well, make targets singular, because his target has mostly been Sonic.
Octo: Of course it has.
Aqua: Silver's also been able to charge up his energy and release a giant blast of psychic energy in a similar vein to Shadow's Chaos Blast attack, and can even control elements with them.
Octo: Wait just one second, some of those powers are from the Archie Comics. Are we using composites?
Aqua: As long as Archie Silver has done things that are in line with game canon, as in the Post Genesis Wave feats or feats that we know game Silver can pull off too. The games don't give him that much at all because of the... let's just say lackluster writing, so...
Octo: So basically we're doing what actual Death Battle does? Alright then, a bit different but let's do it.
Aqua: Other than controlling elements and energy blasts, Silver can also use his psychokinesis in a way that he can paralyse an opponent's entire movements, or completely scramble them.
Octo: Wait... How does he do that?
Aqua: By presumably using his limited telepathy and psychokinesis together to send false signals to his opponents' brain.
Octo: That's cool and all, but should Silver be in a tight spot, he can use his psycho-whatever to use the Teleport Dash. Basically think of the Instant Transmission from Dragon Ball.
Aqua: Hell, Silver can even shield himself with his power to deflect projectiles, block laser fire and even breath underwater. He also has the power to create forcefield blasts from a distance, just to be safe.
Octo: While tele-psychokinesis whatever the hell it's called is a great tool for Silver in a fight, nothing comes close to his ability to screw with time.
Aqua: In Archie canon, Silver has always been known to carry a Time Stone with him in order to travel from the future to the past. Effectively, he can use this to go back to any point in time he wants to, including the beginning of a battle or the end of one.
Octo: This technique is called Chronos Control. Not Chaos, Chronos.
Aqua: However, nothing stands close to Silver's trump card. By activating the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds, Silver can become... Super Silver.
Octo: Super Saiyan... sorry, Super Silver gains a massive boost in both power and speed, plus he can fly - even though he could do that before - and is nigh-invulnerable. His power is even increased by 1000 times!
Aqua: Well, no it's not. Where people pull this statement from is unknown, because it's never been stated anywhere, nor is it true.
Octo: The Super form is actually much stronger than that, though it does run on a time limit.
Aqua: By assuming that the Super form's user has the maximum amount of rings that can be collected in one of the classic Sonic games, which is capped out at 999, then it's safe to assume that the Super state can last for upwards of 16 minutes per use, much longer than the lowballed one minute.
Octo: And goddamn, is this hedgehog powerful, with or without it. Silver in base can match the speeds of Sonic the Hedgehog, who is capable of travelling at the speed of light.
Aqua: Arguably faster too. In Sonic Unleashed, Sonic's Light Speed Dash is clocked in at a maximum of 400SPD when passing a checkpoint. Considering the fact that the fastest speed Sonic can reach in the game is 3000SPD, we can say that Sonic's running speed is approximately seven times the speed of light!
Octo: While we have seen faster, jeez that's still very fucking quick!
Aqua: Silver isn't all just speed though. One time in a fight with the demigod Enerjak, Silver was crushed underneath the weight of an entire island, and was barely stunned by it.
Octo: Still not enough? Well, he's tanked attacks from both Sonic and Shadow the Hedgehog, who should be on similar power levels to that of a single Chaos Emerald, which moved an entire continent alone! And that's just one, imagine how powerful Super Silver would be with all seven.
Aqua: Much stronger than planet level anyway, because Super Silver should reasonably scale to a machine such as the Final Egg Blaster.
Octo: This machine, at least when powered by the emeralds, had blasted away an entire star system with a single shot, which alone puts Silver at star level. How old is he again, 14 right?
Aqua: And even that's an underestimation.
Octo: Yeah... Silver can match Super Sonic and Burning Blaze, who took down a mech that fused dimensions together. This mech had the potential to fuse fucking universes together. Hell, I'll say it again... IT FUSED UNIVERSES!!! Who is crazy enough to build a machine like that!?
Aqua: Still, Silver isn't exactly all godly even with his powers. More often than not, Silver has lost fights to... many opponents. Even Infinite and Shadow the Hedgehog.
Silver: HYAHHHHH!!!
Shadow: Chaos... Control!
(Shadow proceeds to roundhouse kick Silver in the back of the head)
Octo: Heh heh, I could watch that all day!
Aqua: Silver is also naive, very gullible, and that Super form of his can be hurt by an opponent that can match, or even exceed his power.
Octo: Plus, because of his psycho thingy, any mental injuries can severely limit his ability. And that's exactly what led to Scourge and Metal Sonic breaking out of his grasp.
Aqua: Despite his flaws... and bad character development, Silver eventually did save his timeline, and spread peace throughout the future by defeating evil, whether they be in the past or present.
Octo: And when you really think about it, he did all this at 14 years old. Yeah, Silver does indeed deserve the heritage of the future... Yeah, I fit in a JoJo reference!
Pit[]
Aqua: In another land, there was two goddesses. Palutena, the Goddess of Light, bestowed happiness and positivity on to her people, while her opposite Medusa did... well, the opposite.
Octo: Obviously, the two goddesses fought in some war or something, but Medusa was able to grasp victory over her counterpart, and sort of turned people to stone. Y'know, being fucking Medusa and all.
Aqua: However, it was only a matter of time until Palutena fought back, all thanks to her Guard. And at the helm of this guard was a young angel by the name of... Pit.
Octo: What sort of person is named Pit? Like, seriously, what kind of a name is Pit, and where did his parents get his name from!?
Aqua: Octo, he's an angel. Which means he's dead. He doesn't have parents.
Octo: O-oh...
Aqua: Moving on, Pit was one of Palutena's soldiers in the war, but being slain in action, Palutena felt pity for Pit...
Octo: Hey, nice one!
Aqua: And decided to make him her right hand man. Or boy. It depends on how you look at him.
Octo: He's really immature and looks 14, but he's actually an adult. Hey, being dead means you don't have to age, lucky bastard.
Aqua: Despite his immaturity, Palutena assigned Pit as her guard's leader, and it was thanks to Pit that not only did Medusa fail to defeat Palutena, but even the god of the Underworld himself, Hades, fell to his doom.
Octo: Damn, what the hell has Pit got in his weaponry? If he can take down gods, than surely he's packing some serious firepower!
Aqua: Well, that's exactly what I'm just about to bring up. Being a trusted guard to Palutena, Pit comes equipped with the finest weapons seen in Skyworld. This includes the Palutena Bow.
Octo: This thing, gifted to him by Palutena herself, let's Pit fire arrows off at targets. These projectiles are guided, but they can even be charged at the expense of the guiding technique. Sort of like the Mega Buster!
Aqua: More like the weapons from RWBY. The Palutena Bow isn't just a typical magic bow, as it also doubles as two blades for Pit to use. Less Mega Buster, more Crescent Rose.
Octo: But that's not all. Pit even has more bows that offer various different types of attacks, and guess what? They all have the ability to be split apart into blades!
Aqua: Some bows have the ability to fire homing arrows, constantly active homing arrows, arrows that cancel out weaker enemy fire, arrows that have element powers and even arrows that can be used to momentarily stun foes.
Octo: And some of their names are just so... godly. The Angel Bow, Sagittarius Bow, even the Phosphora Bow, made from the scarf of Phosphora herself. For those out of the loop, she's a goddess that aligns herself with the Goddess of Nature, Viridi.
Aqua: Buuut we're not here to talk about her. At least not yet.
Octo: However, should long distance attacks struggle to do the trick, Pit can always get up close and personal using three different types of weaponry: Blades, Clubs and... Palms? So he slaps people to death?
Aqua: No no no no, Palm techniques are actually magic powers that Pit can use to his advantage, but first off, his blades.
Octo: Other than bow blades, Pit's regular blade is the... First Blade. Yeah, that's the dumbest, yet most correct name I've ever heard for a weapon before.
Aqua: The First Blade is Pit's most average sword, capable of doing powerful attacks at reasonable speeds.
Octo: Sort of like those guys who are just starting in Smash for the first time and always choose Mario.
Aqua: I guess... sort of. Moving on, Pit can switch out blades whenever he wants, with different blades offering many different strengths and weaknesses compared to the last.
Octo: While we're not going to sit here listing them all off - seriously, this kid has more weapons than Mega Man - we will tell you some of the buffs and nerfs that each give.
Aqua: Some swords increase Pit's striking power at the cost of his attack speed, some do the opposite, others reflect or parry projectiles and the final ones have long reach compared to the others. Overall, Pit's arsenal is quite varied.
Octo: On the other hand, clubs are the exact same as the blades, only instead of slicing the opponent, it knocks the hell out of them. Hey, if there's anything that The Flintstones has taught me, it's that brutalising is way more satisfying than anything else.
Aqua: Where Pit really shines though is through the powers that he himself has. To start, let's talk about Palm moves.
Octo: Like Aqua said before, no, these are not super powerful slaps to the face. Instead they're... magic, I guess. Not as effective as slapping, but oh well!
Aqua: Well, it's funny you should say that, because Pit's Palms are actually pretty powerful. Most Palms are basically tattoos that can fire projectiles, defend against attacks, nullify attacks and give Pit some explosive blasts thanks to items like the Fire Palm. And that's not even getting into his arms.
Octo: Palms, Arms, later Claws... what is this, a human biology class? Whatever, the arms are basically arm cannons like the Mega Buster - I know, more Mega Man - but some can even be used as battering rams should clubs and swords and whatnot fail to leave an impact.
Aqua: And finally, there's the Claws. Don't expect anything special, they're just normal claws that share the same benefits as Pit's other weapons.
Octo: Gee, for someone as versatile as Pit, I was really expecting some fresh powers.
Aqua: Well, it just so happens that Pit gets some vocal help from none other than Palutena, who helps Pit by powering him up in battle while also giving additional hints on the side. Or Viridi, Goddess of Nature, but she's a bit... bossy and unwilling.
Octo: Funny thing is, despite being an angel with wings and all, Pit can only fly for up to five minutes before his wings catch fire and he plummets down to his death. What's that got to do with Palutena, you ask. Well... Palutena is kind of the person that helps to power Pit's wings.
Aqua: Without Palutena, Pit struggles to keep flight, though he can power himself with short boosts of flight that can be used in a similar fashion to the Nova Strike or Fox's dash attack.
Octo: However, if flight isn't enough because of obvious reasons, Palutena can pass down the Three Sacred Treasures or some shit to give Pit a huge buff. This is the Gold Armor!
Aqua: Actually, it's called the Silver Armor.
Octo: Think you've had too many ink splats to the head, because that's definitely gold to me!
Aqua: Well, the Silver Armor is an armor that boosts Pit's speed, strength and durability to levels on par with the strongest of gods such as Hades and Medusa. It even gives him access to special magic weaponry.
Octo: Pit can fly infinitely under his own power, and comes equipped with this Arrow of Light thing that can destroy armor and kill nigh-unkillable enemies in only a single shot. That ain't all though, because Pit can upgrade to some sort of sacred armor thing that allowed him to severely damage Hades!
Aqua: Bear in mind, most of the higher end gods in the Kid Icarus universe have displayed feats on the higher end of solar system level, which is pretty powerful!
Octo: Or what about the fact that base form Pit could dodge beams of light that reached Earth from Space... or the other way around, I haven't played Uprising for years.
Aqua: This reaches into the 10 times speed of light range, but Pit can increase his speed substantially to the point where he's hundreds of times FTL, thanks to the Sacred Treasures.
Octo: What about the time where his base damaged and tanked attacks from a weaker Hades, who claimed he could decimate an entire fucking country. That alone shows how Pit is pretty goddamn powerful.
Aqua: Not only that, but Pit even has fourth wall awareness on his side. Yeah, he knows about characters like Sonic, Mario, pretty much anybody on the Smash Roster.
Octo: Wait... he's not here? Thank god, I thought he'd pull a Deadpo...
Deadpool: Did somebody call on MOI!?
Aqua: Ugh, we've never used you before Wade. Go away!
(Deadpool slumps down and disappears)
Aqua: Anyway, while Pit is pretty OP, he's still got a few bugs to iron out.
Octo: Pit is really immature, and can't help to crack jokes almost every time he faces someone. Hey, at least it's actually funny unlike modern Sonic games.
Aqua: Pit also isn't invincible, and even despite being an angel, he can be killed by powerful enough attacks. Doesn't stop Palutena from just bringing him back, but resurrection is pretty limited for Pit.
Octo: I doubt Palutena will be there all the time to save his ass, but most times than not she doesn't need to.
Aqua: And that's because, despite his inability to find weak spots without help, Pit always has the power needed to stop any threat to the Goddess of Light, no matter how godly they are.
Octo: Yep, he certainly deserves his role as the head of Palutena's guard!
Interlude[]
Aqua: All right, the combatants are set, and we've run the data through all possibilities.
Octo: It's time for a Death BAAAAATTTTTTTLLLLLLLEEEEEEE!!!
Death Battle[]
Skyworld. A place above the mortal world which gods, goddesses and angels all held in their hearts as their home.
And the same more than certainly ringed true for young Pit.
Pit was on a typical patrol of the area, only this time under the orders of Palutena herself. You see, there was a rumor going about that Palutena and Medusa were being targeted by a silver hedgehog, who apparently held them responsible for destroying his future.
Of course, Pit being Pit, he had no clue as to what this hedgehog was referring to, despite the many, many tellings of the war between Medusa and Palutena. Hell, the concept of a hedgehog from the future was something that Pit couldn't bother to remember about, despite it being so out of place, even on their world.
Palutena: Pit? Pit, are you there?
The shock of Palutena's interruption burst a whole lot of life inside Pit, who yelled in fear of the sudden voice from his head. Luckily, Pit grabbed a hold of himself, and returned his reply to the goddess.
Pit: U-Uh, yeah Lady Palutena... Jeez, you scared me.
Palutena giggled to herself...
Palutena: Oh Pit, honestly, I'm starting to question why you're in charge of my defense if you're going to be horrified all the time!
Pit: To be fair, Palutena, you made that decision. Still, while you're here... Can you repeat the mission? Please?
Palutena huffed in anguish. Yet again, Pit payed absolutely no attention to her briefing. Once more and she'd burst a vein... if she could, that is. Immortality and invulnerability weren't exactly something that could let that slide.
Palutena: Pit...
Pit: Oh, right, the black hedgehog!
Palutena: Silver. Silver...
Pit shrugged in his defence. Hey, at least he got something correct, hopefully that woul...
Oof!
Pit crashed to the ground on his butt, as he collided with something that seemed to have also fell on his backside. The two stumbled to their feet, with the silver hedgehog speaking up first.
Silver: Hey! Mind where you're going. I'm in a rush he-
A large ringing sound rang through Pit's ears, showing that yet again, Pit decided to stop listening when someone else was talking. All he could see is the silver hedgehog speaking with no words coming from his...
Hold up a second. Silver? Hedgehog?
Silver: -hat's why I don't have time for some kid...
Pit: Hey, you're that silver hedgehog that's trying to hunt down Lady Palutena!
Silver flinched backwards in shock. Damn, of course this brat worked for her, it's always the ones you'd least expect. Charging his psychokinesis, Silver prepared to do battle.
And perfect timing too, as he deflected away a shot from the Palutena Bow. Looking towards Pit, Silver could see the kid readying another arrow, so taking to the air, Silver got himself set to take on this angel.
Pit: I WON'T ALLOW YOU TO HURT PALUTENA!!!
Pit fired another arrow at Silver, who used his telekinetic abilities to sent it back towards his attacker. Pit hopped back as the arrow embedded into the ground, only to fire several more quickly.
Knowing that he was their target, Silver flew around to avoid them, only to see that they were heading straight for him once again. The arrows followed Silver around, but the hedgehog easily grabbed them and sent them flying back.
Splitting his bow into dual blades, Pit deflected each one. However, Silver was making a dash towards him with a Homing Attack, so Pit took the correct course of action and shielded with the blades. Silver bounced off, only to charge another Homing Attack and blast straight towards him.
This time, Pit dodge rolled to the right, letting Silver bounce into the ground behind him. Turning to fire more arrows now that Silver's back was turned - and his bow was back together - Pit smirked.
Pit: Haha, is that all you got!?
Silver chuckled as he swiftly turned, catching the arrows with his psychokinesis once more.
Silver: No, but thank you for asking!
Silver threw each one at Pit, who looked up as Silver took flight and continued firing the arrows back, this time from above.
Pit hopped from one part of the ground to the other, as the arrows left little mini explosions that could've severely hurt someone. Knowing that this hedgehog more than likely had the superiority in the air, Pit kept to the ground as he prepared his bow blades yet again, this time in a taunting manner.
Pit: Aw, what's wrong? Sticking to the air because you're scared!?
Pit's snarky attitude wasn't getting him anywhere fast. Too bad the same couldn't be said for Silver, who flew down with his fist drawn back.
Pit: Oh crap...
Silver landed and threw a left punch at Pit, who moved back to avoid both that, and the subsequent punches Silver was throwing. However, Silver charged up a Spin Dash and fired himself at Pit, who threw the blade bow away and brought out a massive wooden club.
You couldn't see it, but Silver's eyes burst open as Pit readied a swing.
Pit: Batter up!
Pit swung the club, and smashed Silver so hard that the hedgehog popped out of his ball form and soared back through the air.
Pit: And he's going, going, gone! Home run for Pit!
Silver crashed across the ground, but recovered fast enough to avoid an incoming swing from the charging angel. Pit wasn't letting up with his swings, but Silver realised that he was moving a lot slower due to the heavier weight. Knowing his speed, Silver effortlessly dodged all the attacks, including an overhead smash and and uppercut attack.
Silver used his psychokinesis to screw up Pit's movements, causing the angel to fall backwards. Lifting him up, Silver smashed Pit into a pillar, then into the concrete ground, then into another pillar, before finally dropping him to the ground.
Silver walked over, only to be caught off guard as Pit jumped up and dashed at him with one of his Arms, specifically the Upperdash Arm. The weapon hit Silver head on, and forced him through several walls. Pit followed this up by switching to his one of his Palms and exploding the ground below Silver, forcing the hedgehog into the air.
Palutena: Pit, now is your chance. Follow him and take the battle to the sky!
Knowing that Palutena gave Pit his wings, the angel flew high into the air, and once again used the Upperdash Arm to clash with Silver.
The hedgehog, who had been able to sustain flight, was launched back once more, but in a flash he recovered, and grabbed Pit himself.
Bringing the angel to him, Silver moved his head out of the way as several pieces of debris from the pillars struck Pit in his face. Letting his foe go, Silver watched as Pit was catapulted over towards a statue of Palutena, which subsequently broke from Pit's harsh impact.
Pit recovered steadily, as he shook his head.
Pit: Wish... I could do that.
Silver moved closer to Pit, launching a vertical Psychic Knife at his enemy. Luckily for Pit, the first thing he found himself doing was equipping a blade and combating it with his own slice, which fired off it's own energy slice.
Silver looked on in shock as a slice from Pit ended up cutting him, ruining his focus and forcing him to lose control of his flight as he plummeted towards the hard floor below.
Pit headed to follow...
Only for his wings to catch fire and force him to fall too.
Silver noticed this, and summoned a huge ball of debris to form his Meteor Smash. Throwing it down, he crushed Pit under the weight of the ball.
Silver: HAHA, IT'S A METEOR SMASH!!!
Pit yelled in fear, only for his eyes to open as he realised something. Something... off.
Pit: Y-You do realise that you're sending that towards yourself, right?
Pit had fallen down after the smash, and had matched altitude with his hedgehog opponent. The two looked at each other, having suddenly realised that they were both going to get crushed. With no other option, the two decided to form a temporary truce and stop the Meteor Smash from crushing them.
The hedgehog threw a Psychic Knife, while Pit equipped the First Blade and sliced the middle all the way across the ball's face, causing it to split apart and fall apart, with rocks falling to the ground ahead of the duo.
However, they were too late, as the teens crashed into the concrete below them.
Everything had blacked out.
Silver opened his eyes slowly, being a few metres apart from Pit. Silver looked ahead as he began crawling, spotting seven colored gems sitting in front of him. The Chaos Emeralds.
Pit, on the other hand, was standing. The three Sacred Treasures formed an armor for his body, and guarded him from the fall. He slowly took to the air as Silver floated, before light flashed...
Super Silver had awoken.
The two deity powered kids looked on at each other, on equal altitude. They kept rising, as to prevent Skyworld from being desecrated entirety. Once they had reached a high enough point, Pit immediately flew after Super Silver, slicing at him with his blade.
Silver used his psychokinetic shield to block the attack, as Pit unleashed an onslaught of slices in an attempt to break it.
What Pit didn't know was that this shield had been giving Silver space to charge up his psychokinetic blast, which he released right in Pit's face.
The blast had certainly been strong enough to launch Pit back, but the Sacred Armor stayed intact. Pit dashed forward, having equipped his Ore Club to smash the daylights out of his rival.
Silver brought up his shield again as Pit brought the weapon down, and surprisingly breaking the defense. Silver flinched as he was sent flying by the club's force, only for Pit to dash off again in an attempt to follow up with another strike.
Silver tried to bring up his shield again, but like before, Pit broke through the forcefield and sent Silver back even further. The hedgehog was running out of time...
Time...
That was it! Time!
Pit once again went blasting towards Silver, who just watched as a strange power resonated around him. Believing Silver to have given up, the angel brought out the big guns. And quite literally too, as he began charging a massive bow which held the Arrow of Light.
Pit: This is for my lady, Goddess of Light, Palutena! I will not let her die.
Pit launched the Arrow of Light at Silver, and a massive explosion went off, blinding everything in a white light, which slowly dissipated to show that...
Silver was gone.
Pit: Lady Palutena! I did it, I beat the silver hedgehog!
Palutena smiled, knowing that even despite the fact he was fading away, Pit could certainly stop the tyrant from causing any harm to Skyworld.
Wait, something about that sentence wasn't right.
In another time, Silver and Pit faced each other, ready to do battle.
A portal opened up behind Pit, who, being Pit, was rather oblivious to what was going on behind him.
The angel boy collapsed to the ground in pain though, much to Silver's shock as he looked behind and saw...
Himself!
Super Silver had used his trusty Time Stone to power up Chronos Control and go back in time before the arrow struck him, and had arrived to the beginning of his battle.
The original Silver looked on in complete horror, as he was forced to witness Pit's head suddenly shake violently... before exploding into a bloody mess!
Silver: Dear god! What did you...
Super Silver reverted to base form, and left his past self with an answer...
Super Silver: D-Don't question it.
KO!
Results[]
Octo: Oh... god. That was disgusting!
Aqua: On paper, it would seem like this was a close match, but really, Silver took the victory thanks to his superior speed, power and intelligence.
Octo: Speed was a no-brainer. While in base, both Silver and Pit are pretty equal on speed, with both being nearly ten times light speed thanks to scaling or reactions. BUT, when we look at Super Silver and Silver Armor Pit, things were suddenly blasted wide open.
Aqua: Pit may be several hundreds of times FTL, but if we were to say that the Super forms were a 1000x multiplier, then Super Silver's speed should approximately reach 7000 times the speed of light, and that's lowballed a hell of a lot.
Octo: Yeah, Super Silver can keep up with Super Sonic, who in a fight with the Nega Mother Wisp, managed to outpace stars, placing him at speeds nearly 35,000c. Pit was rather outclassed in the speed department.
Aqua: And again, with base forms only, strength was as close as speed. Both characters have feats of island level strength and durability, making this round a tie...
Octo: But because this is a Sonic fight, fucking Super forms win again.
Aqua: The feats that give Super Silver his MSS+ strength are certainly a lot more agreed on than Pit's own possible MSS feats, but even if we gave Pit the benefit of the doubt, it still wouldn't have been enough.
Octo: Solaris could eat up universes like nothing, and that's leagues above anything Hades or Medusa has ever done. Super Silver even managed to take down Solaris' future self all alone, so while he's not universal, he's one third of the way there.
Aqua: While Pit's outside help and massive arsenal certainly gave him something to write home about, the fact that most weren't too different to each other meant that Silver was... sort of facing the same kinds of weaponry over and over.
Octo: And intellect was an easy one to decide too. Pit usually relies on Palutena to find weak points in his enemies, and considering the fact that he's really unfocused, Silver had plenty of opportunities to capitalise.
Aqua: And remember, we've not even brought up the time screwing powers Silver has thanks to the Time Stone. Given his advantage over Pit in almost everything, it seems he didn't even need it or Chronos Control to get him out of a jam.
Octo: Well, Pit's chances of victory fell in the pits today. Guess he was way too I-Careless.
Aqua: The winner is Silver the Hedgehog!

Introduction[]
Wiz: Pit, Lady Palutena’s angelic warrior.
Boomstick: Silver the Hedgehog, psionic saviour of the future!
Wiz: Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, be they from another world or another time.
Boomstick: And while these two are as naive as a nerd thinking he’s being wooed by the popular girl in school…
Wiz: …
Boomstick: …that doesn’t mean they don’t make good heroes in their own right! He’s Wiz and I’m Boomstick!
Wiz: And it’s our job to analyse their weapons, armour and skills to find out who would win… a DEATH BATTLE!
Pit[]
Wiz: Long ago, in the far distant realm known as Angel Land, gods and humans lived together in peace and harmony.
Boomstick: And considering how gorgeous a couple of the goddesses were, you wouldn’t catch me complaining!
Wiz: 'Sigh', of course! Among them were Palutena, the Goddess of Light and Medusa, the Goddess of Darkness. Together the duo ruled over Angel Land but, against Palutena’s knowledge, Medusa held a dark secret.
Boomstick: Yeah, it turns out that Medusa hated humanity, wishing to bring it darkness and despair. Wow! Who could’ve seen that coming!
Wiz: Enraged by Medusa’s disdain toward the people she was meant to watch over, Palutena transformed the snake-haired woman into a cycloptic monster, banishing her to the fearsome Underworld, ruled by the ruthless Hades!
Boomstick: But this would turn out to be a bad idea because, as it so happens, Medusa was right at home in such an unruly place, returning to raid Palutena’s world with an army of demonic monsters at her beck and call!
Wiz: However, hope was not lost. Those who could not survive Medusa’s wrath were turned to stone, but there was one angel who was spared by the Goddess of Darkness, not being seen as a threat to her villainous uprising.
Boomstick: Heh, nice one!
Wiz: Enter Pit, Palutena’s devout protector and most loyal servant, who took it upon himself to rescue the Goddess of Light when Medusa and her undead slaves kidnapped her.
Boomstick: He may be sweet, naive and rather airheaded at times, but make no mistake; Pit is a seasoned warrior, becoming heralded as Palutena’s most loyal servant upon Medusa’s defeat.
Wiz: But the inexperienced hero’s world was about to take a turn for the worse. Over two decades later, Medusa returned, once more aided by an army of demons hailing from the Underworld.
Boomstick: Which, as it so happens, was ruled over by Hades! No, not James Woods’ Hades, the actual Hades, who had resurrected Medusa to distract the Goddess and her teenage understudy in order to scour the Earth, collecting human souls to store in his, well, Underworld. Wait, so he’s just the Satan equivalent to Brainiac!?
Wiz: Uh, almost, but he’s also known as a master manipulator. Not only did he bring Medusa back from the dead to play Palutena for a fool, he was also able to turn various nations against one another, capturing the attention of Viridi, the Goddess of Nature…
Boomstick: …who decimated an entire armada by herself!? By blowing them up!? B-But how!? Look at her, she looks about eight years old!
Viridi: I heard that, human scum!
Boomstick: W-What!? Wiz, how in the-
Wiz: Uh, perhaps I forgot to mention the elephant in the room: gods and goddesses in Kid Icarus can break the fourth wall.
Boomstick: You’ve got to be joking! Another one!?
Viridi: I am Viridi, the Goddess of Nature, and you’ll do better than to address me as “another one” you vile creature.
Boomstick: Why, I ought to-
Wiz: Uh, Lady Viridi, care to detail what happened between you and Hades?
Viridi: Well, seeing as I’m here, I might as well play along with this stupid game. That imbecile Hades had turned the human’s so-called “home” into a warzone, decimating the precious world I was born to protect!
Boomstick: And that’s when you dropped those “Reset Bombs” of yours onto those people, completely annihilating them and contributing to Hades’ plan, right?
Viridi: Yeah, I admit it. But, as much as I despise those destructive cretins, I absolutely loathe those who crave their demise for no real reason. Thus, I aided Pit and Palutena in their war against the Underworld, not for personal gain but because if there’s someone I can’t stand more than you savage beasts, it’s Hades!
Wiz: Well, regardless of your stance on us as a race, I respect your commitment to preserving Mother Earth. Which I guess, technically speaking, you are.
Viridi: I don’t think you respect anything about nature, Wizard! In fact, aren’t you responsible for various crimes against nature? Animal experimentation, the extinction of rare plantations and other such heinous deeds!?
Wiz: U-Uh, I mean…
Boomstick: While Wiz receives an earful from the Goddess of Nature, let’s turn to what makes Pit such a formidable opponent. He might not be able to fly - at least, not on his own - but that doesn’t mean he’s not able to hold his own in combat.
Wiz: N-No, of course not. Pit’s armed with the Palutena Bow, a weapon forged by the Goddess of Light herself.
Viridi: It’s an all-round weapon that Pit can take apart and use as dual blades, making it useful in both long and short ranged combat.
Boomstick: And get this! The further an arrow travels, the faster it goes! So, if Pit misses an opponent, enemies behind must be on their guard, otherwise “ptchoom”! Arrow through the forehead!
Viridi: Ugh. Is he always such a boneheaded brute!?
Wiz: More than you could ever know. The Palutena Bow isn’t the only bow and arrow variant available to Pit, however.
Boomstick: Like the Fortune Bow, a weapon that can shoot fast homing shots which increase in damage the further it goes. Or what about the Sagittarius Bow? This bow’s arrows pierce through multiple opponents at once, with high damage and shot speed to make up for its long charging time!
Wiz: The Aurum Bow, on the other hand, has a rapid firing rate, sacrificing power for speed and accuracy much like the Meteor Bow.
Boomstick: And although that loses the good accuracy, its continuous homing ability is unparalleled!
Viridi: My favourite, however, is the Phosphora Bow, giving Pit an increase in movement speed while also, believe it or not, shooting arrows that paralyse people on impact! Quite impressive, if I do say so myself!
Wiz: Oh? Perhaps there may be a smidge of bias in th-
Viridi: ‘Gasp’! How dare you assume such of a goddess! I’ve never been so offended in my centuries of existence!
Wiz: Well, allow me to do you one better: the Silver Bow! High power in close range, a relentless homing ability and a decent firing range make for an amazing all-round weapon, making it a great secondary to the Palutena Bow!
Boomstick: Viridi, you may be a goddess, but I’m the weapons person here and, I’m sorry, the Silver Bow is just so much cooler.
Wiz: Well, Boomstick, if you think that’s cool, I’m sure you’d love Pit’s wide selection of blades; melee weapons that also double as-
Boomstick: RIFLES! Oh. My. God! You people have guns, too!?
Viridi: Uh, duh! Who doesn’t want a means of long-ranged weapon beyond a measly bow and arrow!? Like I once told Pit, blades are both versatile and well-balanced, almost as though they were made on autopilot! They’re that straightforward!
Wiz: And Pit’s weapon of choice is the aptly named “First Blade”; balanced in all statistics, the First Blade is the perfect sword for any beginner.
Boomstick: Pit’s no beginner, though. He’s skilled enough to use various other blades, each with their own pros and cons! For instance, the Burst Blade might be low in power and range, but it makes up for it by being able to shoot multiple bullets at once!
Viridi: Then we have the Viper Blade. This one is rather interesting, actually. It is said that such a powerful blade was forged from the scales of a thousand venomous serpents, and it requires a soft, delicate touch in order to use it at its full potential.
Wiz: A powerful tool, to be sure. However, compared to the might of the Crusader Blade, the Viper Blade is nothing but a mere toy. Not only can the Crusader Blade fire wide-ranged shots, it’s also one of the strongest weapons in Pit’s arsenal…
Boomstick: But, ultimately, it falls short of the Gaol Blade, a weapon forged from material belonging to Dark Lord Gaol’s armour that has strong long-range power and an impeccable homing ability, all to make up for its rather slow attack speed and long charging time.
Wiz: But arguably the most devastating blade of all is the Samurai Blade.
Viridi: It’s rumoured to have been made in the image of a legendary katana sword, retaining the original’s devastating power in close quarters combat.
(A sound effect not too dissimilar to that of Solid Snake’s codec goes off in the studio, alerting Wiz and Boomstick to another’s presence.)
Boomstick: Oh, great! Who’s come to intrude now!?
Pit: Uh, that would be me! You know, Pit? The incredibly handsome and unmistakably charming angel you happen to be analysing right now?
Viridi: Pah, in your dreams, hotshot!
Wiz: Ah, Pit! I see you received Viridi’s invite. It’s a pleasure to be blessed with your company! We were just going over some of your weaponry, if you care to join us?
Boomstick: Wiz…
Pit: I’d love to! And just in time to bring up the Palutena Blade, too! Shame she’s too busy to join us, though.
Wiz: Ah, right! The Palutena Blade is a weapon that takes exceptional skill to master. It might have rather sub-par power and range, but it makes up for it in having high velocity dash attacks that, on their own, are quite devastating.
Boomstick: Just like Pit’s arms, including the Upperdash Arm!
Pit: You know, the one from Super Smash Bros? It might be weak on the surface, but when I use it while dashing - to quote a certain skeleton I once fought onstage - you’re going to have a bad time!
Viridi: No more a bad time than if Pit were to beat you with the Drill Arm, also known for its appearance in Super Smash Bros!
Wiz: The Drill Arm deals continuous damage and is well-regarded for its exceptional aim, possessing a homing ability unparalleled by most of Pit’s other arms!
Boomstick: But sometimes raw power is all you need, and with the Taurus Arm, that’s what you get! Range and accuracy may be among the lowest of the Arms, but make no mistake; this thing is lethal, in part due to those horns on its head!
Wiz: Another physical powerhouse is the Electroshock Arm which, as I’ll demonstrate on Boomstick, is very much as dangerous as its horned counterpart!
(Wiz places two gauntlets on his arms…)
Viridi: Wait, Pit? How did he get that!?
(...reels his right arm back…)
Pit: I-I don’t know, but someone has to stop him before Boomstick gets-
(...but doesn’t move his arm forward, Boomstick equipping an Electroshock Arm of his own and blasting a charged shot in his direction. Wiz remains paralysed.)
Boomstick: Mess with the bull, you get the horns! Uh, while I get Jocelyn to help me get Wiz back to normal, why don’t you two continue on for a while?
Pit: Uh, sure. I’m sure I have a Claw or a Club to talk about! Like, recognise my Ore Club? It’s a club forged by materials mined on the mountain of the gods!
Viridi: Oh, puh-lease! Think that’s cool, folks? Wait until you see the Viridi Claws! As gorgeous and as deadly as moi - they wouldn’t deserve to bear my name otherwise - these are among the most lethal of tools in Pit’s arsenal.
Pit: But I’m not a fan of how powerful a weapon is if another has it beat elsewhere. For example, for long-distance combat I prefer to equip a Staff - preferably something like the Insight Staff - to act as my equivalent to a sniper rifle, granting me the power to take down enemies before they become a threat!
Viridi: Which he can also do through the sheer firepower of his wide range of cannons, ranging from the EZ Cannon to the more-ranged-but-less-lethal Sonic Cannon…
Pit: …which no, before you ask, is not related to that blue hedgehog I fought during Super Smash Bros!
Viridi: Who’s friend, as coincidence would have it, is your opponent today! Who knew!?
Pit: Oh, crap. Well, here’s hoping he doesn’t have one of those powerful golden forms I’ve heard about, otherwise I’m toast!
Wiz: You won’t be if you play your cards right, Pit, and through the power of the Great Sacred Treasure, you become a force to be reckoned with!
Boomstick: I’ll say! After the Three Sacred Treasures were destroyed by Hades - again, not James Woods’ Hades…
Pit: Wait, who’s James Woods-
Boomstick: Pit and Palutena sought assistance from Dyntos, the God of the Forge, in, well, forging a weapon capable of defeating the God of the Underworld once and for all.
Wiz: And, after sending the angel through a series of trials, the elder God granted Pit the treasure’s power, allowing him to take on Hades’ might in a duel for the ages!
Viridi: The Great Sacred Treasure is, in essence, a superpowered armour with several “modes” for Pit to take advantage of.
Boomstick: And the standard mode is where it’s at, allowing our angelic powerhouse to fire explosive charged shots, ram into enemies at speed, teleport and, the coolest of them all, a massive, supercharged laser capable of decimating Hades in a single shot! God. Damn.
Wiz: Enemies who hold a speed edge over Pit can be dealt with instead by Pursuit Mode; shedding most of its heavy duty weaponry, the Great Sacred Treasure compacts itself into a nimble vehicle, armed with a machine gun turret that’ll strike fear into even the toughest of the Underworld’s soldiers.
Pit: However, if I take too much damage in this form I need to switch out, and that’s where the power of Mech Armour Mode has me covered!
Wiz: This particular form is as fast as Pursuit Mode albeit less powerful…
Wiz: …but that doesn’t stop it from being a lethal weapon against the God of the Underworld.
Viridi: To sum it up, not only does the Mech Armour have lasers but also a humongous beam sword said to be capable of halving Hades! In Pit's hands, it's not something to be taken lightly!
Boomstick: And neither is the final form, Ultralight Mode which, as well as being the end-all, be-all fastest variant of the Great Sacred Treasure, also packs some serious heat!
Wiz: Indeed it does, Boomstick; not only does it wield the aforementioned beam sword, but it also shoots both arrow-like projectiles and a devastating vertical blast, making it formidable in both close and long-ranged combat!
Boomstick: Wow! I’ll tell you what, this angel is not one you want to clip the wings off of! Y’know, even if they are entirely wasted on Pit who, for whatever reason, can’t seem to fly without Palutena or Viridi’s help! What gives, dude?
Pit: I don’t know? I’ve been meaning to ask.
Viridi: It’s because you’re such a dork; Palutena doesn’t believe you’re mature enough to take to the skies on your own, and I trust you about as far as I can throw you!
Wiz: He might not be…
Pit: Hey!
Wiz: …but he’s powerful enough to be seen as a threat by some of the most powerful deities imaginable, including Pyrrhon, a self-proclaimed sun god who was once capable of pushing a massive space station away from Earth!
Boomstick: A feat that, when all is taken in account, comes out to around 317.9 teratons of TNT!
Wiz: And speed is just as impressive; one time, while accosted by several monsters, Pit flew outside our solar system at speeds calculated to be almost nine million times the speed of light!
Viridi: That’s very fast, Pit. I-I’m kind of nervous about you, now…
Pit: ‘Gasp!’ Is that a blush I’m seeing on your cheeks, Viridi? Is my impressiveness capturing your heart all of a sudden?
Viridi: S-Shut up, doofus!
Wiz: Before you get taken aback by Pit’s strength and speed, Viridi, let me reiterate that, while impressive, it’s not Pit at his most powerful. The Great Sacred Treasure allows him to take on Hades, who’s leagues above unarmoured Pit in terms of raw power!
Boomstick: And Hades’ stomach is said to be a whole a** dimension, complete with stars and everything! That makes Pit’s feat of defeating Hades all the more impressive, even if the cannon’s duel-ending blast did have to be powered up by Palutena, first.
Wiz: And that serves as a path toward our next topic: Pit’s weaknesses. Powerful and trusted by the Goddess of Light he might be, he’s hardly the perfect warrior.
Viridi: Pit is immature, rather inexperienced having been out of combat for a quarter of a decade before Hades surfaced and - believe it or not - he has a habit of not knowing when to keep his mouth shut!
Pit: Uh, excuse me! I’ll have you know those creatures looked and sounded like Metroids! Not your fault you can’t-
Viridi: No, no, no, no, I’m not listening! La-la-la-la-la…
Wiz: ‘Sigh’. And on top of that, the Great Sacred Treasure isn’t invulnerable. It might have been powerful enough to take on Hades, but don’t forget that the God of the Underworld went on to destroy it before Pit, Palutena and Viridi charged up the cannon for one last shot against the omnipotent demon.
Boomstick: Wait, so why are we giving it to Pit if it’s destroyed!? Aren’t we supposed to consider what’s standard and what’s not on this show?
Wiz: For fairness’ sake, Boomstick. For fairness’ sake. However, we may not even need to be fair on Pit, because time and again he’s shown that, despite being naive and rather headstrong, he’s an almighty warrior deserving of Palutena’s blessing.
Pit: Yeah! There’s a reason I’m considered her personal bodyguard, so evildoers beware; if you dare attempt to bring harm to Skyworld or her highness, Lady Palutena, you’ve going to have an almighty angel like me hot on your trail!
Viridi: Never let him do an analysis outro again, boys!
Wiz: Duly noted…
"It's time for you to atone for your crimes. I am Pit, servant of the Goddess of Light! And you. Are. History!"

Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set and we've run the data through all possibilities.
Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!
