Their backstories are too similar. Both we’re ballerinas Both were kidnapped and brainwashed to be emotionless killers Both have body suit with a deep V cut Both have very similar gadgets Both use snipers amazingly
Given that Black Widow has multiple types of assassin work under her training tree, she could not have focused as much as someone who specializes in sniper combat. This battle was played to Black Widows strengths, which WidowMaker would have played away from. These guys don't understand sniper mentalities at all. They would never move in after a running target by "running". Snipers are Methodical. They made WidowMaker look clumsy.
I mean, makes sense. They have to build weaknesses in Widowmaker to balance the Rock Paper Scissor nature of her game. Black Widow doesn't really have that problem.
Yeah. If Natasha was Widow's original target, Natasha would have never seen it coming. No doubt. But the moment black widow knew of the opposing sniper, all she had to do was close the distance. Which is easy with her speed and Widowmaker being a more 'snipers nest' sniper then mobile sniper. Once the range is short, and the guns are out, Natasha was effectivly garanteed to win.
Well, Orisa was designed to counter Doomfist, as her abilities keep her still to prevent getting knocked around and stop him from using his to get away.
@@f.b.i8205 , he made an appearance, as did the majority of the cast of that show, on a few episodes of a spiritual successor of sorts to Phineas and Ferb that is called Milo Murphy's Law, which is also a pretty good show that is also made by the same people that brought you Phineas and Ferb. A side note is that one of the creators of both shows also did things that ranged from The Simpsons to Rocko's Modern Life, to even educational stuff like Let's Go Luna.
Pax Humana wow, I just learned something. Yeah I have watched milo Murphy’s law and it is pretty good,BUT! It’s just not as good as phineas and ferb. That was the show I always watched back when I was younger on summer days. Vruhhh the memories...😔 2002 kids understand.
@@jeifcj6718 Sniper rounds have shell casings that shouldn't be there after they're fired. So to make fun of every one of these kinds of animation/art style mistakes, this meme was born. Advertising how the company that produces those rounds doesn't even waste its casing.
That and the fact that Black Widow is an *actual* super hero and Widowmaker is just a highly trained top-tier assassin with a slow heartbeat. It's the equivalent of pitting Captain America up against a Navy Seal. Sure, the Seal is a badass in it's own right, but Captain America is a frickin' *super* hero.
@@dragonthunderx3250 gameplay mechanics ARE consistent-- no fall damage applies to every single character in overwatch (except out of bounds falls of course). if widowmaker was the only hero to not take fall damage it could be considered a stat but since this is consistent for every hero it doesn't count.
she really shoulda been able to kill when black widow was using the ferris wheel to get close, but the CQC widowmaker was toast. though i will say i predicted the outcome correctly. i am a widow main (unranked, but i just never place)
15:33 "We fire the whole bullet! That's 65% more bullet per bullet!" - Cave Johnson, Portal 2 Trailer #3: "Turrets" Not the first time on death battles, either.
“When I was a girl, I had a dream I was firing at something. I missed. So I fired again, and I missed. And then I missed again. And then I fired, and then I missed. And then I was out of bullets, and then I got sad. I had a popsicle. And then I reloaded. And then I fired, and I missed. I missed again. And then I fired, and I hit something. But it wasn’t what I was going for so I guess I missed. I reached into the fridge for another popsicle. I missed. I got the cabbage. I put it back, but I missed. I dropped it on the floor. Long story short; missed.”
I kind of knew Black Widow was gonna take this just solely on her hand to hand combat skills. Widowmaker is arguably her equal at max range, but without her gun, she's toast.
Gengarts they also really weakened widows gun here I feel, her shots are 100% accurate when fully charged and also are incredibly faster than they made them out to be, I assume it never addresses this in the backstory of widow, but like taking it from the game (which they used info from) the shots hit the target as soon as the trigger is pulled, so it doesn’t really make sense that she would ever miss a shot, especially when black widow wasn’t moving, also comics buffs definitely played a main role in deciding factors
@@GodChicken15 true but then again thats the game and that just being a hitscan. And window aint the only hero with hitscan man. MOST FPS games have hitscan. and take solder 76, tracuer, mcree,ana,ashe,dva and other heros. so that idea has pretty much been debunked
God Chicken It’s not really a fair assumption to make though, because tons of game when using bullet based weapon (including overwatch) will use hit scan. And even if it did boost the speed of the bullet there would be absolutely no way for them to determine just how fast it would be moving. So I’d say, to make sure they didn’t give Widow too much power, they brought the speed to normal instead of making assumptions with no concrete basis.
Widowmaker lost because she fired, and she missed. So she fired again. And she missed. And then she missed again. And she fired again, and then she missed. And then she fired, then she fired again, she missed both times. And then she fired and she missed. This went on for several hours. And then she fired, and then she missed. And then she was out of bullets, and then she got sad. She had a popsicle, and then passed out in the snow. And then she woke up, and then she reloaded and fired, and then missed. She missed again, then she fired and she hit something, but it wasn’t what she was going for, so I guess she missed. she passed out again. Had another popsicle. I had a dream that she was firing at something. She missed. She threw up a snowball at em’, and she missed. She packed another snowball into her gun, that’s her secret weapon. She missed. Yeah, she’s really somethin’, She threw a snowball at her, She missed. She passed out. She woke up with a popsicle stick in her mouth. Don’t give me sass woman, She'll take a swing at ya, she’ll miss though, I guarantee ya. she’ll take another swing, and she’ll miss. Then she’ll have herself a popsicle. Would ya care for a popsicle as your listening to this explanation of how Widowmaker lost the DEATHBATTLE? Just don’t bring it into the sauna. Yeah. She reached into the fridge for another popsicle, she missed. She got the cabbage, so she put it back, but she missed. she dropped it on the floor. Long explanation of how Widowmaker lost the DEATHBATTLE short? Missed.
I think that Deadshot vs Widowmaker wou would've been a fair fight, due to them being extremely professional assassins with thermal visors on their side, and Deadshot has the added bonus of ricochet shots so he can hit a target despite him aiming at another area.
Also, they establish she doesn't have emotion and is a cold-blooded killing machine. Why the taunting ? Widowmaker is the one villain who'd obviously go for the kill immediatly. (And for those who quote the Tracer video, while Widowmaker was taunting, she was securing Tracer's body with her foot and preparing the shot at the same time. Here, she just strikes a pose so that Black Widow can strike back.)
@Omar TheOwner, whatchu talking about? She's got super soldier serum. She's basically like a slightly less strong, way more flexible, way more skilled, morally compromised Captain America without a shield. Sure, she doesn't have flight, lasers, or other flashy super powers, but she's got powers. She's got superhuman strength, superhuman durability, superhuman speed, and superhuman agility. Batman gets by on his wits, gadgets, and a history of martial arts training.
Fights that I would like to see!! kratos vs Dante! Gordon Freeman vs Isaac Clarke! Indiana Jones vs Lara Croft vs Nathan Drake! Predator vs Turok! Alucard vs The Doomslayer! Geralt vs Talion! John Wick vs Jason Bourne! OR John Wick😎 (vs) Yuno Gasai🙂 Make It Happen!
@@georgegobin8726 for me I want: Niko Bellic vs Trevor Philips. Kiryu Kazuma vs... I don't know. A Megatron Battle royale. King Ghidorah vs Mechagodzilla. Godzilla vs King Kong. Bowser vs Robotnik. A Megazord battle royale.
@@georgegobin8726 John Wick versus Jason Bourne is a damn good one, as is John Wick versus Yuno Gasai. I would also like to posit Duke Togo (of Golgo 13 fame) versus Jason Bourne as a potential Death Battle as well.
Widowmaker: “What makes you think you can sneak up on me?” Agent Romanov: “I’m a godd*mned Avenger.” Me: “the latter has a point, 2 words; get, & wrecked, respectively.”
@@tmerchead1 Exactly! if this was Monica Rambeau fighting Shazam then Shazam gets his cheeks clapped. We all already know she'd curbstomp Manvers with so much ease a caveman could do it.
Kinda obvious who's going to win when you put a character with three years of very sparse background against one with fifty five years of comic book starrings and appearances.
It's a complete toss up to be honest. They are both good enough assassins that in reality. Both would win depending on who gets the jump on who. But ending the video in 5 seconds with a head shot isnt bringing in views so they gotta animate it to have the utilize their entire kits. It just so happens to end in a melee which is the one area where black widow has the clear advantage
My god! This is one of the best episodes I've seen you guys put on! Lovingly rendered, full 3D models, a killer score. And you guys included one of my favorite things: using the environment in combat. Slug fests are nice and all, but it's very satisfying to see two characters switch up how they fight and react based on what they have around them. A+, the best Death Battle to date by far.
Magic Vs Cosmic also. Someone who was given powers to become a champion, VS someone who got powers by chance and became a champion with them. ALTHOUGH My money is on Billy. SHAZAM!
I've wanted Saiya to fight Shazam for a long time now but this is good too, My vote is on Shazam. He's one of my favorites haha, question is will they allow him to use his new gods powers? switching powersets for a finale.
As a widow main This is 100% accurate Also against Ana, Brigitte, Brigitte,Brigitte, bastion, sombra, Mcree, symmetra, torbjorn, winston, Mei, and that’s probably most of them
Komasan 116 Everybody you mentioned can be 1 or 2 shotted by Widow. Losing to any of them 1 v 1 means either they have better aim, you get snuck up on, or both of you are bad enough that somehow you lose to Brigitte while playing a character that can easily stay it of her range and pick her off.
Quiet wouldve dominated her. Her shots are better, she can take out a whole camp of trained guards in minutes and she has the super speed powers. Only way to lose to widowmaker is by BS, and if she was somehow trapped and suffocated of sunlight.
@@stormbringer2840 Well this would not explain Kimmies super strength, agility and resistence, how about artificial child from black widow and Kimmies canon dad and the brought to term by her canon mum?
Huge credit to the animation work here, it's really top notch with only a tiny flaw that clearly says "We didn't have time to adjust this to look better before our deadline." and with that time would have been flawless. (that is one SLOW kick...)
Widowmaker lost the fight, but she did successfully eliminate her target. And if that dude was being guarded by "a goddamn Avenger," he had to be important. For an assassin, that sort of counts as a win right there.
@@gumslice Just giving Widowmaker her due. I'd actually never even heard of her before this, and was 100% on Natasha's side. If Nat had been killed, THEN I would have been salty.
@@rhunter42dragon comment just gave me the same vibe as the salty bronies on Deadpool vs pinkie pie saying pinkie won because she succeed in her goal to befriend him
She brought a sniper rifle out while on a supposed bodyguard detail. Basically the VIP was bait to get widowmaker out onto the field. Sacrifice a pawn to murder the enemy queen.
I never thought for a second that Widow Maker could win this fight. Black Widow is just way more resourceful and better at CQC. George of the Jungle Vs Tarzan!!
Black Widow has that "I can not lose" willpower. Slicing her with the glass shards only make her be even more determined. That's when I know it's over for Widowmaker.
Well yeah, but at the same time there's no way WM will shoot her rifle on auto mode at that distance, plus: if she was in that initial scenario (being on shooting position without BW noticing), BW was basically dead. Both of them being assassins (the one with the surprise factor would have the highest prob of success), this battle is actually kind of pointless; they're supposed to kill not fight (even if they're trained on martial arts).
Widowmaker - "What makes you think you can sneak up on me?" Black Widow - "Heh heh! I'm a goddamn Avenger!" Ok, I may be the only one who thinks this, but that was a good ass line. Or, at least, great line delivery.
15:32 Cave Johnson: "We fire the WHOLE bullet! That's 65% more bullet... per bullet!" Still refreshing to see animators keep up this tradition in 2019. :)
On the like 10th anniversary of Death Battle, we should finally have a Boomstick vs Wiz Death Battle. With all the lore they're building up, it would be awesome to see the condensed backstory and the fight between friends.
David Dougherty well about that, Death Battle actually admitted that they were wrong about the battle and apologized on Twitter. For instance, Android 18 doesn‘t absorb blasts and Binary Captain Marvel is easily faster than light and powerful enough to destroy worlds.
Doesn't Widowmaker's heart beat like 10 times a minute or something? Implying that her brain would not suffer the effects of choking (i.e. the garrote) so rapidly. It should have been a discomfort for her, nothing more. Shouldn't have stopped her from being able to fight.
@@AllenTheAnimator004 the issue is widow wouldn’t wait to shoot to kill lmao this animation def got that wrong if widow has the chance to kill she would not hesitate so when Natasha was on the ground widow would not sit and talk she would’ve killed her.
