    • Mario & Luigi Vs Batman & Robin

      Not sure how this match lasts longer than five minutes. Maybe if the plumbers are just going against Robin, they could probably beat him down. But once that would happen, Batman would come in an...


    • Dragoon Tank (Starcraft) Vs Scarab (Halo)

      While the size advantage would go to the Scarab, I think that's the only place where it gets the advantage. The Dragoon is much more nimble, and has a higher intelligent being leading the way. ...


    • Ichigo Kurosaki Vs Cloud Strife

      Fantastic match up between two charismatic fighters. With Kurosaki's mastery and Cloud's abilities, which one of the vaunted characters would emerge from this match up?...


    • Fulgore Vs Terminator

      Fun battle here. Two cyborgs designed to do nothing but kill - which one would come out on top?...


    • Master Chief vs Agent Smith

      This would make for a spectacular match up. The relentless pursuit of Agent Smith and his ability to possess any person/thing during a fight would make this battle last for quite some time. Even...


    • Master Chief vs M. Bison

      Whew! Final match of the day. And of course, it's against an end boss of a game. While Bison is not one of the toughest fighters to have to end in order to win a game, his flying torpedo attack ...


    • Master Chief vs Dr. Evil

      Scenario: Dr. Evil: Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to my underground Lair. I have gathered here before me the world's deadliest assassins, and yet, each of you has failed to kill Master Chief. T...


    • Master Chief vs Peter Petrelli (Heroes)

      Given Petrelli's ability to mimic others, what powers could he use in order to beat the Chief? Would this be an easy battle for MC, or would the 'Hero' put up a good fight?...


    • Master Chief vs Sailor Scouts

      Ok, I'll be the first to admit that I am completely clueless when it comes to the Sailor Scouts - so I'll leave it up to those who've requested this fight to show how MC would beat them......


    • Master Chief vs Lucario

      While this may seem like a slam dunk for the Chief, Lucario presents some interesting challenges. Since he can track the movements of anyone, it's be tough for MC to use any stealth attacks, so ...


    • Master Chief vs Cloud Strife

      A much requested fight finally makes it to the site. For this fight, the battle ground is within a structure similar to the Ark. Given all that Strife can do, how can Master Chief win this fight...


    • Master Chief vs Ike (Super Smash Brothers)

      An interesting fight for MC here. Ike brings a ton of firepower to a close combat fight - But can Master Chief keep him at a distance and end this quickly?...


    • Master Chief vs Thor

      Here's another fight in which MC will prolly get smoked. As much as I'd like to think there is a slim chance of winning, I just don't see how Chief gets through this fight as the winner. So, ...


    • Master Chief vs Juggernaut

      A great fight here. While Juggernaut has some great power, it can be used against him and more importantly, taken away from him. How can MC win this fight?...


    • Master Chief vs Dr. Manhattan

      A reader request in which I think MC has about a 1% chance to win, and that's only if he had some type of tachyon device in which he could jam Manhattan's senses for a bit of time. Otherwise, Ma...


    • Master Chief vs Jack Carver (Far Cry)

      Well, I have to admit that I have never played Far Cry, so I can only go on what I was able to research, and sad to say, it doesn't look like Mr. Carver would last more than a few minutes. So, F...


    • Master Chief vs The Flash

      They say that speed kills. I really think that's the only way Flash even stands a chance to get a shot in on MC. Yes, Flash can time-travel and move through walls, but at some point he has to mo...


    • Master Chief Vs Captain America

      While in any given setting, these two would most likely pair up and destroy any obstacle presented to them, for the sake of this match-up, consider it a grudge match for bragging rights. Whic...


    • Master Chief vs Hancock

      MC gets matched up against another immortal being. But, with the known weakness of the pairings, the Chief does stand a chance to bring down the superhero. How does this fight play out?...


    • Master Chief vs Starkiller

      So here we have MC pitted against the Dark side of the Force again. While powerful, Starkiller doesn't posses the years of experience that might give him a distinct advantage. But, given their t...


    • Mario Vs Crash Bandicoot

      Two franchise characters face each other for bragging rights. While Mario may have the advantage in terms of more notoriety, I think Crash has more tools and options at his disposal. For the sak...


    • Count Dooku Vs Saruman

      Interesting fight here. While some may say it's another 'Technology' against 'Magic' fight (which is partially true) I think the Force brings an element of magic for both sides to use. After ...


    • Arbiter & Predator Vs Snake & Raiden

      Aliens vs Humans - For this tag team brawl, the battle takes place in an old beaten down Nakatomi plaza (with the roof rigged again with C4) within the confines of a still incomplete skyscraper....


    • Ryu Hayabusa Vs Nero (Devil May Cry)

      So here we have a great battle that should easily have some great fireworks and demonstrate some fine swordsmanship. For this battle, the fight takes place in an active warehouse full of ele...


    • Voltron Vs Mechagodzilla

      Fun battle here. For this fight, only the "Lion" Voltron is to be considered as the combatant. Mechagodzilla would present some issues for Voltron to overcome. With it's armor and force-field it...


    • Master Chief vs Q (Star Trek)

      Scenario: Q: Very impressive the way you sniped that Brute. What else have you done? MC: ? Q: Telekinesis, teleportation, spontaneous combustion of someone you don't like. That sort of thing....


    • Xena Vs Kratos

      So here we have a battle of what some might say is a lop-sided battle. Before everyone starts whipping out their fanboy (or fangirl) hats, take a moment to consider what each character has accom...


    • Solid Snake Vs Arthas Menethil (World of Warcraft)

      Well now, here comes a truly interesting battle. Magic vs Technology. As mentioned in other posts, Magic seems to win the day. So, what can Snake do to walk away from this fight?...


    • Aragorn (Lord of the Rings) Vs Maximus (Gladiator)

      Here's a fun battle that forces two crafty leaders against each other. While both have great leadership skills, how do their swordsmanship skill measure up against each other? My vote goes fo...


    • Megatron Vs Megas XLR

      For this battle, we're using the Megatron from the cartoon series (all of them) since the Megatron from the movie was basically a frozen stiff used as the final villain. Megas XLR always see...


    • General Grievous Vs Link

      Excellent match here. While many arguments about how the Force would come into play, what about just a straight up duel of the blades? No Force, no Magic - pure swordplay. Who wins?...


    • Master Chief vs Guyver

      I have to admit that I didn't know much about Guyver manga series until this request. After reading up on the abilities they provide, I think Chief would have his hands full in this match. H...


    • Remembering Sept 11th

      For the most part, this site ignores alot of the political and news happenings of the world. But this event happened very close to where I'm at - Flight 93 crashed about a 1 hours drive from my ...


    • Coming Up…

      3.4.2011 My God...It's Full of Stars...Part 2 So, by now I am sure some of you noticed the star count got adjusted again. Now it's 1 star for every 100 comments. Also employed some caching code to...


    • Master Chief vs Pit

      This fight could give MC more trouble than most think. Pit's ability to fly/hover would cause some targeting issues that the Chief would have to account for. In a ranged battle I think the edge ...


    • Ryu Hayabusa Vs Sora

      A requested match up for quite some time. To be honest, I've never played the Kingdom Hearts franchise, so I really have no angle to help out Sora here - so, I'll have to give it to the ninja! ...


    • 5,000 Comments!

      Today at around 2:43 PM EST, FactPile reached it's first milestone - 5,000 comments! (approved, doesn't include the 17k spam we have in the junk file). The 5,000th comment was from Rob (Exper...


    • Spawn Vs Venom

      Two of the coolest comic book characters (IMO) face off against each other in this battle. I think in a hand to hand skirmish, Spawn gets the victory. But, if the battle has any long range oppor...


    • Master Chief vs The Fantastic Four

      So, here we have the Chief against the whole gang from the Fantastic Four. To be fair, MC can also get help from Cortana. Pitted against four foes, how can MC win this battle?...


    • Wolverine Vs Ghost Rider

      At a glance, this might seem like a slam dunk for Wolverine, but of you take into account the penance stare of Ghost Rider, he could drive Wolvy insane, and pull off one heck of a victory! Wh...


    • Snake Vs Wolverine

      A fantastic fight sets up here. Two of the most popular characters on this site are finally set face each other in head-to-head combat. I think in this fight, the edge goes to Wolverine. With ...


    • Galactus Vs Unicron

      A true heavyweight battle here. Basically, two demi-gods who are known for destroying entire planets. Both are tremendously gifted as part of their creation was to bring balance to their respect...


    • Master Chief vs Ratchet

      Well, I can honestly say that I never even heard of Ratchet and Clank until requests were made to see the Chief match up against them. After some research, Ratchet seems like the future MacGyver...


    • Jet Li Vs Bruce Lee

      While on paper this might look like an even match, I don't think Li lasts more than 2 minutes. Bruce was simply a MASTER. Granted Li has some impressive moves, but Bruce was able to channel some...


    • Chuck Norris Vs Captain America

      What better way to celebrate Labor Day by having two of the most symbolic Americans facing off against each other? Look, we all know Chuck has some moves and according to some, even gave birth ...
