I've narrowed down my choices of Deadliest Warrior rematch and decided on Knight vs Pirate since my other 'most wanted choice' Spartan vs Samurai seemed too one sided. So I went with the icons of Medieval age Epic fantasy and the Age of Sail genres. The original episode did some things right but didn't have X-factors and the knight's own gunpowder weapons were excluded despite the knight coming from an era when gunpowder was used(Late medieval.)
I'd like to feature the Redcoats in a battle. Except, lots of the fitting opponents are either disqualified due to historically having fought them already(Grande Arme, Scottish Highlanders/Jacobites), already taken in disqualified matches(Landschneckt, Ottoman jannisaries), already taken(Musketeers of the Guard, Hessians), or too underpowered(Medieval foot soldiers, Iroquois, Khmer soldiers) I've been considering pitting them against Confederate soldiers, Conquistadors, Caroleans, or maybe pirates but I'd appreciate other ideas as well.

Sadly with these 2, the authors have basically nerfed Vader's Dark Side force powers to the basic 2 of Force Choke and Force Lightning... when clearly we know that Vader is capable (and has shown to be so) of more than that especially in Legends continuity - https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Anakin_Skywalker/Legends#Sith_Lord_2
Also the GG vs Vader battle depicts him wielding a blaster... which he most likely never did.
This double-bitted axe was not a weapon used for combat (in history, anyway; fantasy is another thing entirely). It was a ceremonial weapon or a symbol, and it was mostly associated with ancient Crete (as well as a recurring motif in broader depictions of Hellenic mythology elsewhere in Greece/the Near East). But any battle on this Wiki that gives the Labrys to a real, historical warrior is making shit up.
Alexander never used a Labrys.
Even though Hector can count as mythological, since the source material is the Iliad, this is fair game. Hector never uses a Labrys in the Iliad.
Snake-Eyes vs. Captain America - VC, no mention of Captain America’s super soldier enhancements.
Snake-Eyes vs. Deadpool - VC, no mention of Deadpool’s healing factor or other mutant powers.
Snake-Eyes vs. Ryu Hayabusa - VC, no mention of Ryu Hayabusa’s Art of Inferno spell, which he has to have by the time he obtains all of these weapons except the Dragon Sword.
Ryu Hayabusa vs. Gabriel Van Helsing - VC, see above.
I hate this, #BringBackForums
Since we were talking Saya no Uta in chat, I remembered this one:
Monstrously unfair, as Ryoko is a normal modern human with normal modern weapons against legit five Xenomorphs. Don't think I need to say much more than that.
Gives Goliath a "Giant bronze Kopis Sword, [and] Giant bronze knife," when his sword's shape is never defined and he is not seen with weapons other than his javelin, spear, and 500 Shekel (12 lb) sword
Gives Goliath a "Giant Bronze sickle sword," when his sword's shape is never defined
Gug is given magic, specifically "Bring Pestilance (sic)," which isn't part of the actual Lovecraft mythos and is instead from its non-canon tabeltop RPG spinoff.
Discussions suck, bring back forums. Or at least source formatting.
Original first challenge has been removed for the reasons listed below.
Russian Airborne Troops vs. Parabat
RIP because I actually really like this battle in concept. But the selection of the AEK-971 for the Russian Airborne Forces just doesn't make sense to me. The rifle's only use in the field was combat testing in Chechnya by Interior Forces and Naval Infantry. Variants of the weapons system would eventually be adopted into the Russian military but not until seven years after the blog was made.

Streltsy vs. Serbian Revolutionaries
Sorry, Omni. I could not find any articles on a "Tula flintlock pistol." The only stuff I could find was a flintlock on a replica site and a pawn site. Even then, the dates on the weapons put them into the late 1700s and early 1800s, almost a century after the Streltsy had already dissolved.

So yeah, sadly I have been going through some awesome battles and dare I say, some of them needs to be disregarded. The battles include:
Leone Crime Family vs Grove Street Families : The two technically already fought each other when CJ assaulted Salvatore Leon's casino in the mission "Breaking The Back at Caligula's". Another reason for it being disregarded is the fact that Leone was given an M16A2, which does not appear in both GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories (although the AR-10 and Colt Model 733 did appear, but in fact not M16s).
Tyler Durden vs Joker Nolanverse : I hate myself doing this cause this is such a good battle. But I had to, since Tyler never used an MP5. In fact, MP5s didn't even appear in the movie, and the battle claerly uses the film version.
The Shaolin Monks has no realistic chance of defeating the Vikings here. They have to both get through the shield and armor of their Scandinavian counterparts. All while having no actual armor of their own, a non-lethal staff, and generally inferior weaponry, and combat experience. I just can't see this battle as anything other than lopsided.

I was gonna do a big sweep but I realized you can only tag 4 pages as topics. To make it easier to keep track of reasons for, I'll keep them in groups of 2. Short and sweet.
Weaponry choice VC for use of the Javelin missile launcher. As discussed in a previous FC with FARC and Janjaweed, it's not impossible but extremely unlikely that FARC would have their hands on military-grade anti-tank weaponry. It is more likely they would use cheaper explosives and grenade launchers.
Untouchables vs. Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency
Dynamite was not used as a combat tool for a variety of practical reasons.
This battle is hilarious tipped in the Joker's favour. Not only can he just tell the Expendables what to do, putting them in any situation that will favour him, but the Expandables will have no idea where the hidden bombs are or that there are hidden bombs in the first place. The Joker can simply tell the Expendables to get in the pyramid and then blow the fucker up.
In short, the Expendables can only react to the Joker's demands and have no way to counter any of his shenanigans.
So for starters, the blog is really lacking on terms of information on all of the warriors involved. With only the warrior's their 'main weapons' being mentioned and most of their abilities and powers being left out.
Speaking of which, I am also putting a VC on this. There is simply no way that any of the combatants could actually damage the Bogeyman or Jason.
I forgot that this is the board you're supposed to use for rematch requests, my bad. Regardless...
Another Omni weaponry choice VC, unfortunately. It is not impossible that the MACV-SOG used the China Lake 40mm grenade launcher. It is just highly unlikely. The weapon was designed for field testing for use by the Navy SEALs, 5th Special Forces Group, and U.S. Marine Recon in Vietnam, not the MACV-SOG. And even if the DGSE were pitted against one of those forces, these launchers were exceedingly rare. Only 50 were ever produced. It doesn't seem like giving the MACV-SOG the China Lake accurately reflects what was available to the group.

Link above.
Vs Cowboys and Fijian Warriors: This just comes down to a lack of evidence for several weapons on the Leopard Society's end. For both battles everything except the claws, there isn't I could find that even gets close to point to their use by the Leopard society. Especially with the Iwisa and Isihlangu which are weapons used in entirely different regions than where the Leopard Society is.
