DEATH BATTLE: Deadpool vs. Gilgamesh
12 years ago
For those of you who do not know, Death Battle (found here: http://www.screwattack.com/shows/or.....s/death-battle) is an online show from ScrewAttack that pits popular characters from comic books, video games, and the like against each other to a battle to the death, something of a pop culture version of Deadliest Warrior. And this demoncoon is a big fan of it!
Anyway, I have been posting on their forums for awhile and I decided to throw out a line here and see how many of my watchers are also fans of the show, and would be willing to give a consideration to my Death Battle suggestion, Deadpool from Marvel Comics vs. Gilgamesh of Final Fantasy!

I bet some of you would look at this match-up and instantly think its out of place or weird, but I think the more you consider it, the more sense it makes, and that it would make an awesome Death Battle! Both Deadpool and Gilgamesh are red-clad antiheroes/heroic villains, that have bled over into many different installments of their own franchise, and are Darkhorses of their own respective genre's.
Both are also capable of healing and taking a lot of damage, granted Deadpool's Healing Factor is superior to Gilgamesh's access to white magic and fienish attributes, but Gilgamesh makes up for it in offensive output in my opinion. Both use a wide array of weapons and quirky abilities, where Deadpool loves him some guns, he also uses swords and explosives, as well as some hi-tech such as teleporters, but Gilgamesh has magical/other-worldly swords, and also has guns and explosives (newest games show's that Gilgamesh takes to collecting all weapons now, not just swords), as well as access to powerful Blue Magic spells, not just damage spells either, but quirky, tactical spells as well.
Basically I see the fight boiling down to if Gilgamesh's damage output, his blue magic and ability to wield eight weapons at the same time at his best is enough to outperform Deadpool's Healing Factor, all while dealing with Deadpool's insane damage as well.
Plus, its a battle of the fourth wall breakers, both are known to skate the razor's edge of the fourth wall, and I think it would be hilarious to pit these two behemoths of weapons and weirdness against one another!

then i looked and saw the other fights............. and such
Second, ha! You're poor friend! Although he's not the first one to make that mistake, honestly I didn't even know what fate/stay was until recently. Nope, I mean literal fourth wall breaking, red caped, multi-weapon using eight-armed master swordsman Gilgamesh, originally from FFV, but in many, many more Final Fantasy games since!
And last, they do have quite a number of fights, don't they? I love the Wily vs Eggman fight!
