History Main / UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny

* ''TheAvengers'': Thor vs. Iron Man, with Captain America joining in at the end, and we get to see Mjolnir vs. Captain America's shield. Thor vs. The Hulk

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' had an episode called "Buffy vs. {{Dracula}}". The titular fight ends inconclusively, with Buffy killing the Count, but with him clearly able to come BackFromTheDead at will. The show also had to break many of its [[MagicAIsMagicA own rules]] about [[OurVampiresAreDifferent how its vampires work]] [[hottip:*: though season 8 reveals his powers are a result of his skill in magic.]] in order to pit Buffy against a recognizable version of Dracula; the whole episode relied heavily on RuleOfCool.

** ''SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'' met up with ''TensouSentaiGoseiger'' for a movie in 2011.
** ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'' then met up with ''TensouSentaiGoseiger'' before taking on ''SpaceSheriffGavan'' and going on to fight ''KamenRiderDecade'', the last done '''two months after their own series ended.'''

* ''KamenRiderDecade'': For the ''KamenRider'' series. Decade can take on the form and powers of the last nine hero Riders, allowing match-ups like Kuuga vs. Kiva, Kiva vs. Knight and so on.

----

* ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'' gives us [[TalesOfVesperia Yuri (with Estelle)]], considered as the biggest badass protagonist of the TalesOf series versus [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Sanger]], Banpresto's biggest walking badass for one fight.

* ''SoulCalibur'' 3, 4, and 5 all have the Create-A-Soul mode, which lets you build completely original characters. The games provide armor and equipment that lets you create characters from pretty much any franchise (within reason) and pit them against each other to see who's best. Some characters can be recreated with a striking degree of accuracy. You want one of [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctors?]] You can do it. {{Batman}}? Harley Quinn? TheJoker? No problem. [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Zoidberg?]] WHY NOT ZOIDBERG? [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} The Undertaker?]] Absolutely. [[VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken Bad Box-Art Mega Man?]] Paunchy stomach included. [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright?]] No objections here. Want to make the PowerRangers? Just pick a color. [[ComicBook/XMen Cyclops? Jean Grey?]] Other mutants too. [[VideoGame/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu?]] I CHOOSE YOU! TheMissingNo? Somehow... yes. DoctorDoom? Heck yeah! Film/AustinPowers? YEAH, BABY! ChuckNorris? Do you even need to ask? [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Finn, Jake, and Princess Bubblegum?]] MATHEMATICAL! [[Series/MythBusters Jamie Hyneman?]] Myth Busted. [[Franchise/StarWars Queen Amidala?]] The Force is strong with this one. [[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex Motoko Kusanagi?]] 5 lets you recreate her right from the moment you first pop in the game. The characters are nearly endless, and all yours to pit against each other as you wish. [[http://fuckyeahsoulcaliburcreations.tumblr.com/ Just check out this Tumbler for hundreds of recreations from 5 alone.]]

** Also, once the comic spent [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2003/10/16/episode-342-hypothetically-speaking/ two]] [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2003/10/18/episode-343-check-mate/ installments]] with RM and Black Mage discussing on who'd win, {{Batman}} or DoctorDoom, with BM finishing the argument with "Doom's machinations are such that even if Batman wins, [[XanatosGambit his victory will somehow further Doom's schemes]]". [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/08/27/episode-591-hypothetically-speaking-again/ Another]] had the two discussing on Bullseye vs. Green Arrow, with BM arguing against [[ImprobableAimingSkills precisely shooting several arrows at once]] -- until he [[TwangHello received it]] himself.

* ''TheBraveAndTheBoldTheLostIssues'' often sets {{Batman}} or [[ComicBook/FantasticFour The Thing]] against various characters.

* MTV's ''WesternAnimation/CelebrityDeathmatch'' is a {{claymation}} version of ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Matches have included [[TheXFiles David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson]] vs. [[Film/MenInBlack Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith]]; Bono vs. Fabio vs. Yoko Ono; Bette Midler vs. Cher; and [[{{Batman}} Adam West vs. Christian Bale]].

* ''{{Gundam}}'' fans enjoy these discussions, as over half the franchise takes place in different continuities with different rules in place. In ''Gundam's'' case though, there is a ''canonically'' most powerful machine: the TurnAGundam and its counterpart, the Turn-X. Therefore ''Gundam'' discussions are usually prefaced with "Ignoring the Turns..."

** This game also gives us [[DevilMayCry Dante]] (with Demitri), versus [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Jeddah]], a fight we wanted to see back in CapcomFightingEvolution.

* In-universe example in ''BrothersInArms: Road to Hill 30'': [[ThoseTwoGuys Allen and Garnett]] start two missions by having an argument regarding who would win a fight between Batman and Superman.

* A mod for ''{{DOOM}}'' Source ports, ''Samsara'' allow you to play as [[{{DOOM}} Doomguy]], [[{{ChexQuest}} Chex Warrior]], [[{{Heretic}} Corvus]], [[{{Wolfenstein3D}} B.J. Blazkowicz]], [[{{Hexen}} Parias]], [[{{DukeNukem3D}} Duke]], [[{VideoGame/{Marathon}} Security Officer]], and [[{{Quake}} Ranger]]. And in any game outside their own, their characters even have respective IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels depending on which one you chose. They're also balanced for class based gameplay in deathmatches, capture the flag, etc.
** [[{{Doom}} Doomguy]]: Damage
** [[{{ChexQuest}} Chex Warrior]]: Defense
** [[{{Heretic}} Corvus]]: Utility
** [[{{Wolfenstein3D}} B.J. Blazkowicz]]: Marksman
** [[{{Hexen}} Parias]]: Brawler
** [[{{DukeNukem3D}} Duke]]: Crowd Control
** [[{{VideoGame/Marathon}} Security Officer]]: Suppression
** [[{{Quake}} Ranger]]: Artillery

* ''VideoGame/QuakeIIIArena'': pits ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'', ''{{Quake}}'', ''VideoGame/QuakeII'', ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D'' and OriginalGeneration characters against each other in a fight for supremacy.

* 1906: ''[[ArseneLupin Arsène Lupin]] vs. SherlockHolmes'', by Lupin's author Maurice Leblanc, as an AffectionateParody. Soon afterwards, Arthur Conan Doyle complained and, from the following edition onwards, the story became ''Arsène Lupin vs. [[WritingAroundTrademarks Herlock Sholmes]]'' (or, in some versions, "Holmlock Shears").

* A mod for ''{{DOOM}}'' Source ports, ''Samsara'' allow you to play as [[{{DOOM}} Doomguy]], [[{{ChexQuest}} Chex Warrior]], [[{{Heretic}} Corvus]], [[{{Wolfenstein3D}} B.J. Blazkowicz]], [[{{Hexen}} Parias]], [[{{DukeNukem3D}} Duke]], [[{{Marathon}} Security Officer]], and [[{{Quake}} Ranger]]. And in any game outside their own, their characters even have respective IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels depending on which one you chose.

** [[{{Marathon}} Security Officer]]: Suppression

* {{MUGEN}}: A custom FightingGame system which allows characters from different fighting games to battle aginast each other. It's gotten popular on Website/YouTube, especially [[Manga/DragonBall Perfect Cell]] vs. [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]], where Dio wins using his famous steam roller attack.

* Ultimate Showdown tournaments are a [[http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Most_Powerful_Character_Contest common occurrence]] on GameFAQs' "Board 8", allowing users to debate to the most extremely geekish limits possible about who'd win. The arguing can lead to some, hmmmm, very curious victories (Apparently, Film/TheMask can just barely beat [[Manga/DragonBall Broly]] with cartoon physics, the most powerful ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' can win left and right merely based on their '''vague backstories''' alone, Voldemort can upset [[LyricalNanoha Nanoha's]] constant nuking of areas and people and [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor]] can defeat the {{Flash}} with, uhhh, timey wimey stuff. Or prep time. Or whatever).

** And they've done one for [[Manga/DragonBall Goku]] and {{Superman}}. [[spoiler:Superman won.]]
