I'd give the second one to Sarah Connors. Ripley has some training, but her main asset is intelligence. Sarah Connors spent years of her life learning every kind of dirty fighting and survival skill she could get hold of and spent her entire institutionalized time building hard muscles. Unless you give Ripley some fancy scifi weapon Sarah is going to break that science officer in half.

Gonna have to give the metal battle to Magneto. She's limited in the types of metal she can bend by the presence of impurities, whereas Magneto's writers have never even pretended to acknowledge that some types of metal aren't magnetic. Plus metalbending belongs to a respectable Hard Magic System, whereas mutant powers are pretty elastic in their application. Kuvira uses metalbending to operate the levers on her giant mech, whereas magneto could just crumple the thing into a ball, stretch it into a mile long thread, and pistol-whip it across the continent.
I
The last one...hmm. This is tricky. Range of powers vs direct combat advantage. Iroh is more ripped but Obi Wan is pretty spry too. I'd send this one to the judges. (Though...why would they ever fight? The others I can easily conceive a situation that pits them against each other but this one I don't see.)

Machimina's channel is dead, due to poor payment and music-copyright abuse.

The only videos you can get is in internet archive or someone has a copy youtube lawyers didn't get.

Though there is a small rumor that a pic.tv user has nearly all the channels videos copied and doing monthly streams, earning 300k bit and 2k subs on the channel, but he's small.

Boring. That sums it up.

The fight is entirely down to who reaches their gun first. Other than that, they are basically the same character.

How the mighty have fallen. I was all over their COD vids back around 2007, as was half the internet.

Dr Who (a decent one like Tennant or Smith) vs Superman. Brains v brawn, irristable force vs immovable object.

I know, it seems like a silly one on the face of it, but think about it: the Doctor has gone up against numerous godlike aliens and won. He has gone up against whole armies and won. He has been trapped in inescapable prisons and escaped.

If any one other than Batman could find a non physical way to kill Superman, it would be him. Kryptonite red sunlight sonic screwdriver anyone?

Catra (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) vs. Kylo Ren. This would actually be a rather even fight, especially now since Catra has Melog and even without her Catra is a pretty competent fighter and she was able to go up against opponents that were stronger than her like She-Ra & Hordak and was able to fight them to standstills and and even win.

Kylo may have the Force but he rarely uses it in a fight and he also has a bad habit of, you know, losing just about every major fight his in but in all fairness in Rise of Skywalker he was shown to have improved and was shown to be more evenly matched with Rey... That, sounded a LOT less complentary then I thought it would. It took the son of Han Solo and Princess Leia, the Grandson of Darth Vader who was trained by Luke Skywalker and effectively Emperor Palpatine a whole year of training in order to match or even surpass Rey, a scavenger who just learned she had the Force and had exactly Zero training, in both combat and Force Powers. Even when I'm Trying to complement Kylo I still end up insulting him.

Still, it would be nice just to see these two go up against one another in a DEATH BATTLE!!! :lol:
