Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to part 3 of 9 of the r/deathbattle Episode Accuracy Survey!

For those of you who missed the previous two posts, to keep things brief, this survey examines all 171 current episodes of Death Battle, and asks sub members to vote on whether or not they’re accurate by discussing and debating with each other.

THE ARCHIVES:

Season 2: 84.38%

Season 1: 80%

Overall, this sub believes 27/32 episodes from Season 2 are accurate, giving it an accuracy rating of 84.38%.

The 5 “inaccurate” episodes were Ryu VS Scorpion, Yang VS Tifa, Gaara VS Toph, Luigi VS Tails, and Guts VS Nightmare.

Mega Man VS Astro Boy was the closest “accurate” episode to a negative score with 9 upvotes.

The most downvoted and and most upvoted episodes were Guts VS Nightmare and Snake VS Sam respectively.

Today we look at Season 3, the shortest season of the show, and one with no shortage of controversial episodes. Next week we’ll take a look at Season 4. Until then, familiarize yourself with the rules if you haven’t yet, and have fun discussing amongst each other.

Rules:

1. Every episode of a given season will have its own highlighted comment. If you agree with the episode’s verdict upvote that comment, if you disagree, downvote, and if you are uncertain, do not vote.

2. There are multiple standards people use to determine accuracy. For some people, if an episode’s calcs are wrong but the verdict itself is correct, they may still find that episode inaccurate. Other episodes may have been right at the time but rendered irrelevant or incorrect by new media. While I am not arguing for everyone to adopt one standard for use outside of this survey, for the purposes of this survey, all votes should be influenced by the following principle: Do you believe the victor should still be the victor if the fight was made today?

3. Do not make individual comments in this thread. All comments must be replies, either to the distinguished comments or a reply to an earlier reply if you agree/disagree with the argument they presented.

4. Do not downvote people just because you disagree with their argument. The only comments you should be downvoting are those of episodes you disagree with.

5. Lastly, because this is an open invitation nfor debate. I must stress that as you are debating, KEEP IT CIVIL, this is the most important rule to follow, and if I or other mods notice repeated infractions it will result in temporary bans for the users involved and possibly even the cancellation of this survey depending on how widespread the issue gets.
