What prompted me to mix it up by going into the movie realm for this week’s Battle Royale? It’s probably something to do with the fact I played a bunch of Assassin’s Creed and watched Smokin’ Aces this weekend. Whatever the case, I wanted to see what it was like if movie assassins faced off against each other, kind of like what ended up going down in Aces. These battles are one on one however, and I’ve tried to match each assassin with a (somewhat) similar opponent. But really, who was going up against the Terminator?

When if first debuted, Gossip Girl was decried as an O.C. clone by fans of the recently deceased series. And as the show progressed the characters seemed to mimic their west coast counterparts pretty damn closely. But ultimately which show did the best take on each archetype? That’s what I aim to find out in this edition of Battle Royale.

This has been months in the making. We’ve whittled our way down to two girls from thirty two, coming from eight different historical fighting series. We’ve seen legends fall left and right, we’ve seen upsets, we’ve seen avalanches and we’ve even seen a boy. But here, at the end of all things, I think we’ve got the two best ones out of all of them. And so let the final fight begin:

Last weeks two Elite Eight matchups were tough, but I think that these two today are even tougher. We’re truly in an all-legend level now, and it’s a shame to send anyone home. We’ve got two Soul Calibur alums, a Dead or Alive poster girl and one Tekken babe. Ready….OK!

In this episode of Battle Royale, we pit the guys from Super Troopers against their counterparts from the comedy Beerfest.  This isn’t a drinking contest, mind you, but a good old fashioned slobber-knocker.  Both movies starred the guys from Broken Lizard, and both movies were hilarious.  Club Dread wasn’t awful, by the way, but it’s not at the same level as Super Troopers or Beerfest.  Getting back to the fight, though, who would win between a bunch of Vermont state troopers and a bunch of guys who drink beer like their lives depend on it?  Keep reading to view the matchups and see which squad reigns triumphant!

Well we finally nailed it down to the Smokin’ Sixteen here at the Queen of the Iron Fist Tournament. It’s been a hard fought battle thus far, and we’ve left many hot corpses along the way. Wait, that sounds bad.

This week we’ve got the entire Western Conference survivors going head to head, and there are some heated matchups you don’t want to miss.

This is the final round of the Dirty Thirty-Two phase of the Queen of the Iron Fist Tournament. Up today we’ve got a couple of Tekken sisters, a Soul Calibur pirate wench and someone who probably shouldn’t have been in this tournament at all. You’ll see why.
