Ultimate Fighter

In leu of my depression I present you with the analysis of the greatest contest of fighters ever known.

All right first assumption, they are all in the same universe. So DC, DBZ, Marvel, Pokemon, etc. All same universe. With that being said some powers would be given and some taken away. For example, Superman needs our sun's radiation to give him his strength. Therefore in an alternate universe where all characters are fighting we can rule him out. Next is the intelligence challenge. Intelligence would play a huge key role in this battle. The contenders are Mewtwo, Snake, Rorschach, and of course Batman. Now Snake may know many languages but he has put all his knowledge in simply espionage. He's out. Rorschach, highly intelligent yet that's also his weakness. Just like Bobby Fischer went insane from how intelligent he was, as did Rorschach, so he's out. Left standing? Mewtwo and Batman. Keep in mind Mewtwo has the powers of ALL pokemon through his genetic formation. This includes Alakazam whose IQ is above 5000 Batman though always has his wits about him and uses logic to a fault to where emotions never come into play, unlike Mewtwo of course. So we have a draw. Batman and Mewtwo would be on the same level. I did fail to mention Wesker's superior intelligence but let's save that shall we? Right now equal playing ground, same universe we rule out Snake, Superman, and Rorsach (though a tough fight they would put up in deed). Next is the question of Ki and energy. Superman never truly had to train, so again he's out. The DC universe has either highly intelligent people, aliens, magic users, or scientists forced with Special abilities. Ki, magic, energy, would also be a deciding factor. If in theory the character can't use those things, they lost. Same with intelligence, without high intelligence and being strategic they too would lose. So let's study this further. Before we get back to the original concept of magic let's point out who would not stand a chance. The Terminator could not. Without emotion or will of his own he is but a machine and therefore lacks the humanity the other fighters theoretically have. The Hulk can not contain himself so therefore would be useless against those who can keep themselves in check, again we see the same thing with Tetsuo who barely recognizes their own power and would destroy themselves. It's also important to assume they are fighting for something because some characters would choose not to fight. This enhances the odds to specific characters (mainly the good guys naturally). If it's a show of power it's safe to say many of the contenders would stay out. All right I'm getting all over the place here. Here's who would not stand a chance. Terminator (he's only metal and can not heal on his own nor does he feel pain so cannot heal his wounds, also lacks the ability to use ki). As said to say it Rorschach would not win either, he is beyond hte point of insanity. While highly intelligent and skilled in battle, he simply could not curb his own abilities. The Hulk for pretty much the same reasons (except power over intelligence). Tetsuo for the same reasons as well.Kratos is interesting. While he can use some magic and defeat Gods, his intelligence isn't high enough to effectively use proper combat strategy smash and destroy is not a strategy just a quick way to die against a better opponent. The Mask would not win either, while powerful remove it and destroy it is an easy enough tactic. Kefka is realistic far too weak, while seemingly capable, his powers are limited. Superman, simply because all characters are in the same universe at the moment and without the sun's radiation, he's useless. And Finally Darth Vader, while the force is a form of ki he abides to the will of the dark side and lacks the ability to focus the power for himself (even Anakin Skywalker wouldn't be much of a match for the rest of the fighters). So that leaves us with potential victors. So who will go home champion? Let's see...

So now we're left with potential victors. This list includes
Sephiroth
Alex Mercer
Snake
Ganandorf
Goku
Dante
Scorpion
Wesker
Vash
Deadpool
Ezio
Nightmare
Akuma
Batman
Wolverine
Mewtwo

However we can easily remove Sephiroth from the list, along with Vash for important reasons. Sephiroth has the same issue as Roschach. His reasoning is simply not there and just like Kefka is not as powerful as he seems. Vash lacks the intelligence necessary to compete. Intelligence isn't everything (we still have Goku among others) but he does lack will to fight and the wisdom other fighters have. Deadpool because, well much like the majority (if not all the characters here) swift blade through the head he's dead, he's also like Vash too comical at times and could easily make a mistake and fall. So we're all most at the end guys we've depleted.

Alex Mercer
Snake
Ganandorf
Goku
Dante
Scorpion
Wesker
Ezio
Nightmare
Akuma
Batman
Wolverine
Mewtwo

Here are the true contendents. Based on power, intelligence, and pure will, these will be the ones left standing. We do find some issues with a few characters left though don't we? Scorpion is essentially undead, and while well trained lacks the capacity to use true Ki. So he's off. Snake at this point is way too old and has put all his training into hiding and sneaking around which most other fighters would see clearly right away. Akuma is powerful but lacks the intelligence of the remaining fighters. Ganandorf is nothing without the triforce and since Superman is gone do to the lack of the earth's sun, we can assume the same for the triforce (also he acts more of a commander then fighter at times it would seem). Alex Mercer wouldn't have the skills either. So the list is all most empty.

We're now at
Goku
Dante
Wesker
Ezio
Nightmare
Batman
Wolverine
Mewtwo

Here we have the true contestants. Each with abilities, powers, and intelligence beyond any mortal means. The are only three in logic who would stand to fight each other after everyone else falls. Who and why? Dante is an excellent fighter but his demon form runs out far too quickly and his brashness for bringing down pain would drain him of that quickly. Wolverine may regenerate, but does not have the intelligence to stand up to someone who would be smart enough to remove his head no matter the means. Nightmare is ismply that, just a nightmare. More of a puppet then anything it woul seem. He is single minded and would fall to the others especially without his intelligence. Ezio maybe an assassin, but no more no less. He is only trained to wait, which in this fight no matter the patience would get you killed. So I lied. We're left with four all powerful players. Ones whose powers if combined would destroy all

Goku
Wesker
Mewtwo
Batman

They are the only four worthy of challenges to each other. So how does it end?

It would end in a draw between Batman and Mewto. The reasoning? Wesker has the intelligence and skkill to stand up to the other opponents but lacks the deep wisdom, patience, and skill Batman has. Remember how we keep bringing up the same universe? In theory Batman would be able to use ki if it existed in the DC universe. Wesker would be able to as well but Batman has had far more training. Goku and Wesker would be an equal fight. Wesker seemingly has Super Sayain abilities so no use going there. Mewtwo would easily defeat either Goku or Wesker simply because of his telekinesis being able to destroy Goku's heart (which we all know is vulnerable) and same with Wesker. So why not Batman? simply he has dedicated his life to fighting and learning. Goku was born a fighter. Therefore just instictually trained and his need to fight stronger opponents is a downfall that needs to be taken into consideration whereas Batman dedicated his life to learning the ways of different masters and techniques. Wesker was artificially created and as hard to say as it is, if a dual rocket launcher can destroy him, then the other three would have an easy time no matter his speed or intelligence. Mewtwo would remain due to his absolute power and intelligence. Along with Batman. BAtman's ki would in theory be greater then any SSJ level Goku could obtain and would be able to in theory play a game of chess with Mewtwo which would end in a draw since both powers are equal. However we do miss a valid point. Batman swore to destroy evil. Mewtwo may not have evil intents but Batman's sheer will would overcome Mewtwo's own ego.

So simply put the winners would be in order

1. Batman
2.Mewtwo
3.Wesker
4.Goku

And if you disagree... SUCK IT!
