So gaming, TV, cinema, books. Also explain the logic of your choices.

1. Game: Cloud v sephiroth . ff7
2. TV: Spike v Viscious . Cowboy Bebop
3. Movie: Leon v Stansfield . Leon
4. Book: Winston Smith v Big Brother . 1984

Ff7 is very direct with your built up over the top built up character going manno el manno against his arch following a series of long winded over the top team based fights. Spike taking on viscious was just short brutal and sweet. Leon was a very reality based plot depicting the damage one corrupt detective could do and it's ending is basically die hard condensed into one scene. The 1984 ending was built from start to finish and expands the whole plot with the final result being established from the beginning.

I actually made this thread with the idea of including Rick vs Rick Prime but changed it to cowboy Bebop last second. They kinda do the same thing but CB has that ending and music. I'd have to guess that had to have inspired Rick and moray in some way.

Cloud vs sperototh? No clue

Spike tv vs viscious? Not a fuckin clue

Leon vs stansfield? Stansfield lost so bad on earth he tried to take over air force 1 in the sky and lost so bad he tried to steal the fif element in space then also lost so bad

Far as mandatory high school reading goes Cathcher and Crucible were better than 1984.

Bowser vs Mario is a better face off than all of these trash options.

Travolta vs Cage with face waterfalls is the ultimate face off and its not even an option in here.

Trash.
 
Movies that built up to a climax of the main character fighting the bad guy at the end was basically the story of my childhood.


Rocky
Karate Kid
3 OClock High
Just One Of The Guys
Best Of The Best
 
Gotta be Arnie vs The Predator, or Sarah and Reece vs The Terminator. Or Ripley Vs Xeno. All 3 GOATs f Sci Fi action genre with strong characters and brutal fights.

Book would be Maybe STEPHEN Kings The Stand. Good vs Evil.
 
Video game face off has to be OG arcade Double Dragon. After beating the shit out of an endless gang of thugs, you have to fight your own "brother" i.e. player 2 for the girl.

And after you beat the shit out of him, you end up with the girl.

It wouldnt be #1 for me but it was a pretty incredible scene. The fact that they found a way for them both to fall into the airlock pit without CGI is insane
 
Predator Vs Arnold really starts from the time he falls in the water to the end of the movie, and I think its one of the best one on one battles ever.

1. Game: Probably Cloud vs Sephiroth as well

2. TV: Samurai Champloo; Jin vs Kariya, alternatively Spike vs Viscious

3. Movie: FVII: Advent Children; Cloud vs Sephiroth

4. Book: Aliens: Phalanx A character take on a queen, I'll leave it there in case anyone wants to read it without it being spoiled

Game: FFVII: Enhanced super solider fights an enhanced alien guy who's trying to take out the planet with a meteor (been over two decades since I beat it so forgive me for lack of or incorrect details). There's A LOT of build up to this fight, a lot of things Cloud struggled with, the battles were as intense internally as they were externally and the entire planet is on the line. He watched his best friend and lady be killed and couldn't do anything to stop either, dude is loaded with post traumatic stress. You're an eco-terr - uh, eco-friendly guy that's been conducting "missions" against an evil corporation only for the stakes to be raised by a legendary soldier who lost his marbles and went rogue.

Movie: Sephiroth attempts to return in the movie leading to arguably one of the coolest fight scenes in animated, CGI, whatever cinema though the gravity of it is much higher if you beat the game of course.

Book: There's excellent build up to the final fight and it's a last minute hail mary. Some epic shit goes down

TV: Revelations and a surprise comeback and tricky victory with selflessness and self sacrifice taking place in the coolest spot. Great line before round 2 of the battle, saves the day with cunning and skill. Jin really shows what he can do, he does some Anderson Silva catching Chael Sonnen in a triangle kinda shit, some Medal of Honor worthy shit where he outsmarts a brilliant, more skilled opponent and really shows his heart, what he's made of and the lengths he's willing to go to fulfill his duty to a friend.

Spike vs Viscious was brutal and a long time coming, a great short and to the point, emotional fight.
