2nd Grand Cross-Galactic Budokai Tenkaichi R3 M4 - Guts the Black Swordsman vs. Darth Maul

[SSJRuss]

*Clips of Round 3, Match 3 play out on the screen. The crowd relives the excitement of the match.*

*She-Hulk slaps the Power Sword from Jason's hand and follows up with a blow to his solar plexus. The Red Ranger is sent careening toward the edge of the ring, but stops short. He regains his footing and tries to catch his breath.*

*She-Hulk leaps into the air, aiming to smash her opponent. Jason dodges, jumping to the side and fires his blaster into She-Hulk's side. She tanks the bolt but dashes away to avoid further fire.*

*Jason stops firing then morphs into Gold Zeo. He jumps into the air and cuts off her retreat.*

*The two trade blows, sending shockwaves into the stands. Neither give an inch, but Jason's strike come faster and more finessed. He forces She-Hulk back, but then he gets clocked with an uppercut.*

J.R: He didn't see that one coming. And now, She-Hulk is bashing her opponent into the ground. Shades of her cousin who used this move on Loki!

She-Hulk: AHHHH!

Beerus: She's hulking out.

*She-Hulk ends her move by swinging Jason by his feet. She sends him through the air, crashing into the far wall.*

Ainz Ooal Gown: RING OUT! We have a winner. The Sensational SHE-HULK!!!

J.R: And there you have it. She-Hulk moves on to the Semi-Final round! A hard fought victory, for sure.

*The crowd cheers as the clean up crew moves in, setting up the final match of Round 3.*

Whis: That was a bit of a slugfest. Very conventional fighting styles, am I right Lord Beerus?

Beerus: Whatever you say, Whis. I'm getting hungry again.

Whis: Oh, a meal would be nice.

J.R: Go ahead, boys. While they set up the ring, let's take a look back at our next competitors and how they got here.

*Highlight plays a clip of round one, Guts versus King Piccolo.*

*Guts lays crippled in the ring. King Piccolo laughs.*

Piccolo: Seems like you came up short. Now you see the might of KING PICCOLO!

*Guts slowly raises his arm much to Piccolo’s mockery. His hand tilts back to reveal a cannon, surprising Piccolo who attempts to block the blast.*

Piccolo: GAHH! YOU DIRTY HUMAN!

*The blast rips King Piccolo’s arm to shreds. Guts’ Berserker Armor pulls him to his feet, lifting his sword and beheading his opponent with their guard down.*

*The crowd cheers as Guts is pronounced the winner.*

*Another clip plays, this one of Guts’ battle with the Gargoyle, Goliath.*

*A hard rain pelts the ring as Goliath flies above. He weilds the Eye of Odin, firing lightning at Guts. Guts dodges two bolts and fires his arrows, but they miss by yards. Goliath swoops behind Guts, surprising him with an assault.*

Goliath: This is the end for you, Black Knight!

*Goliath picks Guts’ up by his neck and goes to drop him from the sky onto the outside, but Guts is faster and bisects Goliath at the waist.*

Guts: Just needed to get you close…

*Both halves of Goliath land on the outside before Guts does, making Guts the winner.*

J.R: As we just saw, Guts is a man full of surprises. His opponent tonight does not need to underestimate him or they will find themselves leaving in a body bag. Speaking of that, let’s take one last look at round two, where Darth Maul fought against my close friend and broadcast partner, Mr. Satan.

*A montage of the fight plays, seeing the two competitors coming to the ring, staring each other down, then finally Mr. Satan leaping forward. The match ends with Darth Maul countering with his Lightsaber. He beheads Mr. Satan and the head rolls to the outside of the ring. Maul is pronounced the winner.*

*The clip ends and we return to the broadcast table where Whis rejoins J.R.*

Whis: I’m back! What did I miss?

J.R: Welcome back to the broadcast, Whis. The audience just reviewed the previous round battles in preparation for our next match. And I can’t help but notice you’re by yourself.

Whis: Ah yes. Lord Beerus got into a fuss with the vendor at the nachos stand. He was unfortunately escorted out of the arena. I’ll be joining him shortly but I wanted to finish this match with you J.R. The last fight of round three!

J.R: I appreciate that, Whis. And right you are, we are at the climax of two stories here. The last bout of round three. Will the tenacious Guts go over and move ever closer to victory? Or will Darth Maul fulfill his quest for absolute domination? Well ladies and gentlemen, we’re about to find out!

*Guts and Darth Maul enter the ring and immediately draw their weapons.*

Maul: I can sense your hesitation. Your fear will consume you if you do not submit.

Guts: You can talk all you want. I’m just here to kill you and be on my way.

*The bell rings, starting the match.*

Darth Maul wins this one.

While Guts has taken on an insane amount of enemies, as far as I know-- Darth Maul still has the power of the Force, and that is definitely going to be something which Guts is not going to be prepared for. And while the Dragonslayer has been bathed in the blood of many supernatural creatures and is much stronger than steel despite being forged from said material, I don't see it lasting very long against the lightsaber which Maul has-- in fact, I don't see it lasting at all.

I don't really think this comes down to a duel at all. The Dragonslayer is so big and durable it will likely take more than a few lightsaber strikes for it to get cut in two. But that's a non-issue as Maul can't really afford to block a swing from Guts. The force alone would damage, if not break Maul's arm.

Maul's best chance is to keep distance and use the Force.

I’m really unsure who would win to be honest. Guts is stronger and faster then Maul by feats, but Maul has more ways to instantly kill Guts, via force choke or by his lightsaber. So I’m pretty torn.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. I feel like they just kill each other.

[Boratz]

It'd be interesting to see. Maul definitely has skills when it comes to lightsaber combat, and he has shown to be a very capable adversary without his ligthsaber as shown in the last few episodes of Clone Wars. 

With that said; as stated,Guts is faster and stronger so that could also play a factor in this.

 

Maul has shown to get cocky and overconfident which could prove to be a disadvantage in this and allow Guts an opportunity to defeat the Sith assassin
