Hello everyone, I've been a long time lurker for some time, but I am ready to start making battles. The first match will be between two warriors who walked into Hell and came out on the other side, thanks to their weapons, power and their skills. Johnny Gat, the 2nd in command of the Third Street Saints will go up against the Doom Slayer, the marine feared by the Forces of Hell. In this duel between two badasses, only one can be the winner.
Johnny Gat[]
Johnny Gat was an inhabitant of the Saint's Row District of Stilwater, who joined the 3rd Street Saints to end the gang wars tearing apart the district. During the events of the first game, he took part in the destruction of the Vice Kings Gang led by Benjamin King. Soon after, he would take part in the assassination of the Chief of Police, successfully killing him.
After the Playa fell into a coma, Gat attempted to take revenge on Troy Bradshaw for his betrayal but is taken to prison for 2 years and 31 days. He was to be executed for 387 counts of murder but his appeal trial is interrupted by the Playa who kills everyone in the courtroom and frees Gat, who becomes his second in command. Johnny primarily battle the Ronin Gang, the conflict becoming personal when Ronin lieutenant Jyunichi captures and kills his girlfriend, Aisha. He would take his revenge on the Ronin leader Shogo Akuji, brutally beating and burying him alive. After the other gangs are defeated, Gat would take part in the attack against the Ultor company, using a sniper rifle to distract the guards while the Playa killed Ultor head, Dane Vogel.
Johnny Gat would seemingly meet his end at the hands of Syndicate goons aboard an airplane but was in actuality abducted by the Zin leader, Zinyak, who feared he would become a threat to his plans of conquest. The Playa would later enter Gat's mind and free him from the simulation. Gat would later help the Playa, Kinzie and both versions of Shaundi fights off waves of Zin soldiers in Simulation 31, later assisting in killing Zinyak.
Following the events of Saints Row 4, Johnny Gat, alongside Kinzie, would descend into Hell to rescue the Playa from Satan, who kidnapped him to have him serve as his general in a future invasion of Heaven. Johnny Gat would gain new abilities in Hell and eventually cause enough chaos in Hell to gain Satan's attention. Gat defeats Satan and rescues the Playa. He is given one of five rewards by God for stopping Satan's plan.

Doom Slayer[]
The Doom Slayer, also known as Space Marine, Doom Marine, or Doomguy, is a legendary demon slayer and a former a member of the United States Space Marine Corps famous for saving Earth and from demonic forces.
As a soldier, the Doomguy refused to open fire on innocent civilians and eventually came to blows with his superior officer over the command. This act of insubordination lead to his reassignment to serving on a base on Mars, in what was believed to be a punishingly boring and secluded post. During his time on Mars, Doomguy worked alongside the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC), a multi-planetary conglomerate and military contractor performing secret experiments on interdimensional travel.
When the UAC's experiments backfired on them, the demons of Hell were able to invade and swarm Deimos and Phobos, Mars' moons, where they slaughtered nearly all UAC and Space Marine personnel, transforming them into zombies to fight their former allies. Realizing that he was the last Marine left standing and that the enemy was poised to strike at other humans on Earth, the Doomguy chose to battle his way through the armies of demons to escape Mars and save the human race.
After vanquishing the demons on Mars, Domguy returned to Earth only to find that the demons had already reached the planet. In order to escape total destruction, the nations of the world devised a plan to transport the Earth's population of the planet from a major starport, which was attacked by the demons who were, in turn, replied by Doomguy. Shortly after, Doomguy discovered that the source of the invasion came from his hometown. Descending into the pits of Hell itself, Doomguy faced off with the Icon of Sin, whose death resulted in the decimation of Hell and the sealing of the Hell Portal.
Now trapped in Hell, Doomguy fought a one-man war against the demons, eventually gain a feared reputation as the Slayer. He was eventually found by an order of extradimensional warriors called the Night Sentinels and was taken into their ranks, eventually becoming a general. Deag Grav, later tricked the Slayer into helping him, causing the soldier to become trapped by the demons. He would eventually be brought back to Mars by the UAC and, once revived, continue his crusade against the demons.

Experience[]
Doom Slayer has been constantly fighting the demons for thousands of years since the invasion of Mars. Being that this is the same Doom Guy as seen in the classic games, he not only has the experience from fighting demons of those games, but an additional thousand years fighting alongside the Night Sentinels and several more once he was awakened during the events of Doom 2016.
In comparison, Gat's experience is more limited. Aside from fighting various gangsters, he has also fought the Zin aliens as well as the forces of Hell. But the amount of time doing so is much less then that of Doom Slayer's.
Intelligence[]
Even prior to the demon invasion, Doom Slayer was a battle-hardened marine and a skilled combatant and is capable of quick thinking and unorthodox tactics to take down the demons. His tactics were responsible for the defeat of numerous demonic invasions.
Johnny Gat prefers to go in guns blazing rather then strategy. He's a skilled combatant capable of taking large groups of gangster, aliens and demons. He is also brash and arrogant, rarely taking his enemies seriously. He also has no formal training.
Physicality[]
Doom Slayer is strong enough to tear demons in half, crush skulls with his bare hands and destroyed massive pillars. He's also fought and defeated massive demons like the Icon of Sin and the Titan. He is capable of fighting for extremely long amounts of time, at one point fighting nonstop for years on end, can withstand energy amounts equivalent to nuclear power plant and can outrun rockets fired from a rocket launcher and dodge gunfire.
Gat is no slouch in terms of physicality. Even before Gat out of Hell, he was capable of smashing gravestones with his bare hands and survived being stabbed with a katana. He is capable of fighting large groups of gangsters, Zin and demons and managed to defeat his version of Satan, who caused an island to split into 5 pieces when he fell from Heaven. Thanks to his Arcane Powers, he is capable of moving at high speeds and is extremely agile.
