'''EPIC PIXEL BATTLE! [[JustForFun/TropeTan TROPE-TAN!]] VERSUS! [[Wiki/TheOtherWiki WIKIPE-TAN!]] GO!'''
''Epic Pixel Battle'', or ''EPB'' for short, is a French video series created by [=123Lunatic=] and Tai Shindehai, in which various fictional characters face each other [[BattleRapping in rap battle form]].
The series format is heavily and openly inspired by ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'', although there are two major differences that help distinguish it from it. Firstly, ''EPB'' only features characters of fiction, be it from {{comic books}}, {{anime}}, {{video games}}, or any other medium. Secondly, the characters are not played by real actors, but rather represented by animated images; said images were initially official artworks, before drawings made specifically for the series started to be used from the second season onward.
The series was originally hosted on the Website/VoxMakers channel, before moving to a separate channel when 123Lunatic left the team in November 2016. This led to the creation of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR0grQ7zBq2V2ViZwYzNRKQ EXtreme Pixel Battle]]'', which acted as a replacement series. Currently, the ''EPB'' team is comprised of 123Lunatic (writing, directing, singing and editing), Stan Dusk (composing), Sumashu (mixing and singing), Sainte Séïa (singing and drawing), and [=MadStalker=] (singing and coloring).
The official ''EPB'' channel can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOcAqO8axXJf5tPXA9N1PcQ here]], with most of its videos having been [[FanSub subtitled in English by fans]]. It also hosts a sister series, ''Dans Ton Clash'', which details the creative process and explains the lyrics' references for every battle. There's also [[TheWikiRule a wiki for the series]], available [[http://epicpixelbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Epic_Pixel_Battles_Wiki here]].

!!''Epic Pixel Battle'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AscendedMeme: One of the lines in "Yandere-Chan VS Monika" states that had the team listened to popular demand, they would've replaced Monika with [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]], referencing the "Yandere-Chan VS Sans" battle that was requested so often by viewers that it became a running joke among fans.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: During "Yandere-Chan VS Monika", Monika addresses the viewer, expressing disbelief at the fact that they enjoy ''Epic Pixel Battle'' despite how crude and vulgar it is, and stating that they deserve better; she also asks them if they paused the video just to admire her as a FreezeFrameBonus. Right before doing so, she goes as far as to [[spoiler:interrupt the battle by deleting Ayano herself, [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou before taking on the members of the]] ''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou EPB]]'' [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou team themselves]]]].
* CatchPhrase:
** "EPIC PIXEL BATTLE! [CHARACTER #1]! VERSUS! [CHARACTER #2]! GO!"
** "WHO DESERVES VICTORY? WHO WILL BE NEXT? YOU HAVE THE POWER!"
* CreepyMonotone: The Female Wii Fit Trainer has very little emotion in her voice, which makes some of her lines ("Your patients are going to die.") sound especially eerie.
* DarkerAndEdgier: The ''EPB'' version of Dora is much, ''much'' more rude and arrogant than her canon counterpart.
* EnemyMine: Kirby and Jigglypuff end up uniting against [[spoiler:Pac-Man]] after he interrupts their battle.
* EvilVSEvil:
** "Bowser VS Ganondorf", which opposed the two most iconic Creator/{{Nintendo}} villains.
** "[=GLaDOS=] VS XANA", a duel between two [[AiIsACrapshoot murder-prone, misanthropic artificial intelligences]].
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: In "Yandere-Chan VS Monika", Monika interrupts the battle by [[spoiler:deleting Ayano]], and then [[spoiler:spends the rest of the video rapping against the members of the ''Epic Pixel Battle'' team instead]].
* FreezeFrameBonus: Monika [[spoiler:deleting Ayano]] in "Yander-Chan VS Monika" causes the subtitles to get distorted, making the messages "Just EPB" and "Oh! Did you press pause to admire me? :)" appear on screen for a split second each.
* GratuitousJapanese: Zoro uses a few Japanese words during his rap, namely "nani" ("what") and "nakama"("best friend").
* HackYourEnemy: In "[=GLaDOS=] VS XANA", XANA takes control of [=GLaDOS=]' body by hacking into it. Doing so actually allows it to participate in the battle, as it has no [[HeWhoMustNotBeSeen physical form]] or [[TheSpeechless voice of its own]] to speak of.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In "Mettaton VS Bayonetta", Bayonetta mentions how "it's Sans that the viewers wanted to see", acknowledging the very numerous comments asking for Sans to be featured in an ''EPB''.
* LittleMissBadass: If you expected WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer to be a mostly harmless opponent, think again. During her clash against Lara, she's scornful, full of herself, and arguably delivers some of the most ''brutal'' lines of the battle.
-->'''Dora:''' Look at me I'm an angel... of darkness! Your resume has as many slips and squares as a board of chess! When you got my age in boarding school you were transferred.\\
'''Boots:''' Hey Dora, why does she rage?\\
'''Dora:''' Because her parents didn't love her!
* MindControlEyes: XANA's symbol appears in [=GLaDOS=]' eye as it [[HackYourEnemy takes control of her]], the same way it appeared in the eyes of xanafied people [[WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko in the original show]].
* MotorMouth: Both contestants in "Sonic VS Rainbow Dash" are singing their lines ''really'' fast, which makes sens considering that those two characters are known for their speed.
* {{Not}}: In "Rayman VS Crash Bandicoot", Crash states that he "can't wait for Rayman 4... not!".
* PrecisionFStrike: There is a surprisingly small amount of cursing in the series, giving the few occurrences of it even more impact :
** "Rayman VS Crash Bandicoot":
---> '''Crash:''' You fly around with helicopter hair? You got no merit. You're just frustrated you can't do the helicopter [[SoundEffectBleep d***]]!
** "Ash VS Yugi":
--->'''Yugi:''' That's just a dog, and that's just a duck! Not just a lame duck, you're also a poaching fuck!
** "Yandere-Chan VS Monika":
--->'''[[spoiler:123Lunatic]]:''' "Monique" is a real name, "Monika" is a slut!
* TheRemake: "Mario VS Mickey" and "Kirby VS Jigglypuff" were both remade after the first season, with better singing and editing. The new "Kirby VS Jigglypuff" is part of the Season 3 playlist, whereas the new "Mario VS Mickey" has [[{{Retcon}} effectively replaced the older version]].
* RetGone: The Visitor from the Future threatens to erase Godefroy de Montmirail from history by "paying a visit to his mother".
* SuddenlyShouting: Saitaman goes from bored and stoic to angry and shouting at several points during "Saitama VS Superman".
--> '''Saitama:''' You wanna protect the planet? Just go back on yours! You're not human, yet people like you, '''I CAN NAME HUNDREDS!'''
* SamusIsAGirl: Mega Man only finds out that Samus is a woman when she removes her armor for her second verse.
* SarcasticClapping: During her battle against XANA, [=GLaDOS=] does the same sarcastic clap that she did in ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}''.
* ShoutOut: [[ShoutOut/EpicPixelBattle Has its own page.]]
* TitleScream: '''"EPIC PIXEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL BATTLE!"'''
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Some of Godefroy and Jacquouille lines in "The Visitor from the Future VS The Visitors" reek of this, due to them coming from medieval times. Just like in the ''Film/LesVisiteurs'' movies, it's far from historically accurate.
-->'''Godefroy:''' I openedeth my ears so as to listen to thy words. Do you make sense of this dialect Jacquouille?\\
'''Jacquouille:''' Yes sire, but it stinketh!
* YourMom: The Visitor, to Godefroy:
--> '''The Visitor:''' By visiting your mom I can cancel your existence. [...] Chill out, I'm just ruffling your feathers. I mean going by your mug, there's no way I'm touching her!

!!''Epic Pixel Battle'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AscendedMeme: One of the lines in "Yandere-Chan VS Monika" states that had the team listened to popular demand, they would've replaced Monika with [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]], referencing the "Yandere-Chan VS Sans" battle that was requested so often by viewers that it became a running joke among fans.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: During "Yandere-Chan VS Monika", Monika addresses the viewer, expressing disbelief at the fact that they enjoy ''Epic Pixel Battle'' despite how crude and vulgar it is, and stating that they deserve better; she also asks them if they paused the video just to admire her as a FreezeFrameBonus. Right before doing so, she goes as far as to [[spoiler:interrupt the battle by deleting Ayano herself, [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou before taking on the members of the]] ''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou EPB]]'' [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou team themselves]]]].
* CatchPhrase:
** "EPIC PIXEL BATTLE! [CHARACTER #1]! VERSUS! [CHARACTER #2]! GO!"
** "WHO DESERVES VICTORY? WHO WILL BE NEXT? YOU HAVE THE POWER!"
* CreepyMonotone: The Female Wii Fit Trainer has very little emotion in her voice, which makes some of her lines ("Your patients are going to die.") sound especially eerie.
* DarkerAndEdgier: The ''EPB'' version of Dora is much, ''much'' more rude and arrogant than her canon counterpart.
* EnemyMine: Kirby and Jigglypuff end up uniting against [[spoiler:Pac-Man]] after he interrupts their battle.
* EvilVSEvil:
** "Bowser VS Ganondorf", which opposed the two most iconic Creator/{{Nintendo}} villains.
** "[=GLaDOS=] VS XANA", a duel between two [[AiIsACrapshoot murder-prone, misanthropic artificial intelligences]].
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: In "Yandere-Chan VS Monika", Monika interrupts the battle by [[spoiler:deleting Ayano]], and then [[spoiler:spends the rest of the video rapping against the members of the ''Epic Pixel Battle'' team instead]].
* FreezeFrameBonus: Monika [[spoiler:deleting Ayano]] in "Yander-Chan VS Monika" causes the subtitles to get distorted, making the messages "Just EPB" and "Oh! Did you press pause to admire me? :)" appear on screen for a split second each.
* GratuitousJapanese: Zoro uses a few Japanese words during his rap, namely "nani" ("what") and "nakama"("best friend").
* HackYourEnemy: In "[=GLaDOS=] VS XANA", XANA takes control of [=GLaDOS=]' body by hacking into it. Doing so actually allows it to participate in the battle, as it has no [[HeWhoMustNotBeSeen physical form]] or [[TheSpeechless voice of its own]] to speak of.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In "Mettaton VS Bayonetta", Bayonetta mentions how "it's Sans that the viewers wanted to see", acknowledging the very numerous comments asking for Sans to be featured in an ''EPB''.
* LittleMissBadass: If you expected WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer to be a mostly harmless opponent, think again. During her clash against Lara, she's scornful, full of herself, and arguably delivers some of the most ''brutal'' lines of the battle.
-->'''Dora:''' Look at me I'm an angel... of darkness! Your resume has as many slips and squares as a board of chess! When you got my age in boarding school you were transferred.\\
'''Boots:''' Hey Dora, why does she rage?\\
'''Dora:''' Because her parents didn't love her!
* MindControlEyes: XANA's symbol appears in [=GLaDOS=]' eye as it [[HackYourEnemy takes control of her]], the same way it appeared in the eyes of xanafied people [[WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko in the original show]].
* MotorMouth: Both contestants in "Sonic VS Rainbow Dash" are singing their lines ''really'' fast, which makes sens considering that those two characters are known for their speed.
* {{Not}}: In "Rayman VS Crash Bandicoot", Crash states that he "can't wait for Rayman 4... not!".
* PrecisionFStrike: There is a surprisingly small amount of cursing in the series, giving the few occurrences of it even more impact :
** "Rayman VS Crash Bandicoot":
---> '''Crash:''' You fly around with helicopter hair? You got no merit. You're just frustrated you can't do the helicopter [[SoundEffectBleep d***]]!
** "Ash VS Yugi":
--->'''Yugi:''' That's just a dog, and that's just a duck! Not just a lame duck, you're also a poaching fuck!
** "Yandere-Chan VS Monika":
--->'''[[spoiler:123Lunatic]]:''' "Monique" is a real name, "Monika" is a slut!
* TheRemake: "Mario VS Mickey" and "Kirby VS Jigglypuff" were both remade after the first season, with better singing and editing. The new "Kirby VS Jigglypuff" is part of the Season 3 playlist, whereas the new "Mario VS Mickey" has [[{{Retcon}} effectively replaced the older version]].
* RetGone: The Visitor from the Future threatens to erase Godefroy de Montmirail from history by "paying a visit to his mother".
* SuddenlyShouting: Saitaman goes from bored and stoic to angry and shouting at several points during "Saitama VS Superman".
--> '''Saitama:''' You wanna protect the planet? Just go back on yours! You're not human, yet people like you, '''I CAN NAME HUNDREDS!'''
* SamusIsAGirl: Mega Man only finds out that Samus is a woman when she removes her armor for her second verse.
* SarcasticClapping: During her battle against XANA, [=GLaDOS=] does the same sarcastic clap that she did in ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}''.
* ShoutOut: [[ShoutOut/EpicPixelBattle Has its own page.]]
* TitleScream: '''"EPIC PIXEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL BATTLE!"'''
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Some of Godefroy and Jacquouille lines in "The Visitor from the Future VS The Visitors" reek of this, due to them coming from medieval times. Just like in the ''Film/LesVisiteurs'' movies, it's far from historically accurate.
-->'''Godefroy:''' I openedeth my ears so as to listen to thy words. Do you make sense of this dialect Jacquouille?\\
'''Jacquouille:''' Yes sire, but it stinketh!
* YourMom: The Visitor, to Godefroy:
--> '''The Visitor:''' By visiting your mom I can cancel your existence. [...] Chill out, I'm just ruffling your feathers. I mean going by your mug, there's no way I'm touching her!
