[@jtherealmccoy5309]

The song for the fight is called "I'm back (To Rise)" TJ Combo's official theme from the Killer Instinct game, a remixed and remastered version of his original. Fun fact, if you go listen to the song, at the end it puts in the original beats and vocals of the original theme

Oh thats really cool actually!

TJ actually has a move called “Last breath” where if you pull it off, it gives you one more hit of health and and makes you twice as fast as berserk mode

Yeah, this was one of the most epic fights Death Battle ever made. Also, fun fact about Balrog: His nickname “The Crazy Buffalo”, was actually based on his original name “Mike Bison.” As you can assume, it was a reference to Mike Tyson. But they had to change it (along with Vega and M. Bison’s names) because of controversy with them at the time.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

Wow Mike tyson really was an idol wasn't he

[@Trilaan]

@@theduckgoesmoo Yup, and it's been a rocky road for Iron Mike.

[@wolfhurricane897]

​@@theduckgoesmoothe name change goes like this. In Japan M. Bison is called Vega, Vega is actually called Balrog, and Balrog is called Mike Bison. However the names of our Balrog's super moves like Dirty Bull and Violent Buffalo weren't changed.

Haven't seen this one in a while, I forgot how *good* it was.

[@tannerlowrie8084]

This is definitely one of my favorite Death Battle episodes, and I’m glad you enjoyed it as well! I agree with the outcome, and I’m glad the result actually analyzes the fighting styles of the characters, unlike a lot of later episodes where they’re focused much more on stats. Admittedly those are very important too, but I find it a lot more fun to find out that someone wins by analyzing their tactics and fighting style than by just saying “this person has bigger numbers, so they win.”

[@Lorekeeper72]

This is one of my favorite and is definitely the number 1 from a pure technical standard; since the two were evenly matched, it came down to tactics, skill and experience which is rarely how these things go with Death Battle. Made this fight just fun to watch because it was legitimately even for basically the entire fight.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

The faster character won

[@DieselWeasel]

8:10 - I'm not surprised you're unaware of A Goofy Movie, but you should definitely watch it some time, as well as its sequel, An Extremely Goofy Movie.

Is there a 3rd one called an extremely overwhelmingly goofy movie?

You know, between this and Yang’s death battle, they probably shouldn’t have used a character’s own theme song lol. It makes it a little obvious who wins. TJ Combo’s theme was blaring the entire fight. Though it is an awesome.

This isn’t my favorite death battle. But it is UP there. Ever since I fell in love with Punch Out I started really enjoying boxing. I can sing Muhammad Ali’s crazy song from the 70s. I think it’s called Black Superman or something. It is so stupid but I love it. I think it’s applicable to this fight. He floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee!

18:45 The out-boxing styles advantage over the slugger is made even clearer when Ali defeated slugger Sonny Liston to gain the title for the first time, also the triangle theory was demonstrated more so by how the title changed hands from then, Ali would go on to lose the title to swarmer Joe Fraser who would then lose it to slugger George Foreman, who Ali then defeated to regain the championship, an almost perfect demonstration of the triangle theory at work.

[@alexferrana3979]

And Ali also defeated Frazer, but it was later.

[@HellYeahGaming]

Hahahaha, ah man, I’m so glad we got to this one. It’s so so good. To this day it’s still the single closest match they’ve ever done, it really could go either way in a 50/50 split. Seriously, all their stats are almost totally equal. The only reason they tipped in TJ’s favor was the triangle theory, and the fact TJ held his title for longer. Really there’s plenty of reason to vote either way (and no TJ’s healing factor doesn’t apply, it’s only a minor healing factor that only kicks in over a longer time period) The next battle isn’t exactly one of my “favorites” per say, but it’s one that I’m quite attached to regardless since I am such a gigantic huge huge ninja turtles fanatic, and the Shredder is one of my all time favorite villains/characters ever.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

It was closer than I thought it was then lol I'm glad I won the coin flip

This was actually a clear passion project by the team, specifically one of the researchers and Animator. They both loved fighting games, especially Street Fighters and Killer Instinct, so for them to do this episode was a massive pleasure for them, and they showed it.

a excellent fight, and while your reason for picking combo was something that didn't really matter, congrats on the win. also it didn't matter cause it was a minor healing factor, which means that over like, days, weeks, and months tj would recover, it wouldn't do anything here. this was one of the closest matches, but strength, experience, and the berserker mode were what really won this for tj.

Yeah many of the fights you currently saw have characters from Killer Instinct. That includes Riptor, Glacius, Orchid etc. Many more will come up in future fights so listen for "Evil Walmart" and try your hardest to remember the prior characters.

Yes Goofy has a movie, two actually. Though they focus more on his son Max years after the events of the Goof Troop T.V. show. Here’s the timeline as I know it. Goof Troop (Max’s Childhood) A Goofy Movie (Max’s Teen years) An Extremely Goofy Movie (Max’s College years) There’s also a Christmas special taking place after the movies but some don’t consider it canon since it replaced Max’s love interest without warning and I think it conflicts with the continuity shown in House of Mouse.

This is another good example of Torians animation, he is really big on fight choreography and likes jamming music in his battles, say what you will about RvB Zero but the fight animation always looks good

[@rainofkhandaq6678]

My only issue with the analysis is them.saying Balrog is just a slugger. In the game Balrog has to charge his moves and then release to attack. By definition this means that he has great boxing defense, and that he often waits for his opponents openings.
