Who doesn't love the joy of playing as your own custom-made character? Simple and bursting with charm, Nintendo’s Miis and Microsoft's Avatars brought us timeless memories playing sports and party games. But today, these virtual icons won't compete in sports, but in a battle for glory.

Power. It is known to corrupt. Those who were meant to be heroes turned to the side of evil, these two...wait...there is another? World of Warcraft's Lich King Soul Calibur's Nightmare Do either of these fallen heroes have what it takes to take down the Dark Lord of the Sith?

True Friendship can weather any storm, and these two duos have been through a fair few. Sometimes literally. Finn and Jake VS Mordecai and Rigby (Adventure Time VS Regular Show) Will it be a "Mathematical" time for Finn and Jake, or will Mordecai and Rigby be the ones left shouting "OHHHHHHHHH"?

Whoever made that thumbnail is probably, like, super awesome and sexy.

Only the bravest explorers can enter the depths of the Earth's crust. Quote from Cave Story vs Reg from Made in Abyss!: Two amnesiac robots who travel cave systems with a mysterious blonde girl and a human turned furry via magical means. What happens when these fearless explorers Cross in Combat?

#DEATHBATTLE Rosalina vs Elizabeth ( #SuperMario vs #Persona): Cosmic blue overseers of the multiverse, that are in charge of raising creatures of cosmic origin that they use in battle. Both serve as playful guides, but hold much greater power within them despite appearances.

I think I will post some thumbnails now and then of matchups I want to do someday. Starting with Master Chief VS Commander Shepard. Humanity's greatest soldiers. Humanity's Last Hope. Side Note - If anyone can put me in touch with a 3D animator, that would be great. I want to do this in S2.
