Battle Death Battle #152: Akuma vs Shao Khan (Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat)
Man, that was fucking lame. DB, how do you bounce from fights that are some of the best in the series to ones that are dogshit? This was the most bland, and stiff 3d yet.The hits had no impact whatsoever, like Khans shoulder charge, and the raging demon felt slow and disjointed. When I saw the preview, I immediately didn't like the setting; a boring desert that makes the fight look like it was made in Gmod, like just use the arena from Sindel vs Canary. I've seen meme WoW vids that had better animation. Khan's va was just bad. Akuma was serviceable, I guess. Also, that reasoning for Khan was real wonky ("the scene isn't canon, but it could be canon" like wtf). What a letdown. Goro vs Machamp, TJ vs Balrog, and Sindel vs Canary set the bar for good "fighter" battles and they dropped the ball with 2 of the most accessible fighters available. How was Shao Khan vs M. Bison, a sprite battle from 8 years ago, better than this? I'd give this a 4/10 but the fight wasn't even fun to watch. A fucking 2/10. Absolute shame.
Next Death Battle #153: Korra vs Storm (Legend of Korra vs Marvel). Thank god it's not Rey. People already don't like her, and their wank would have Dio look like childsplay. Even if you say Korra is even stronger than Aang, Storm has a far longer run history and a better showing of powers. Korra doesn't even the experience advantage since she's disconnected from the previous avatars, and lightning scaling will likely be outdone by similar from Storm as we as her fighting speedsters like Quicksilver.

It just means the feats are more viable
