Okay, before asking a few questions, I need to clarify: I'm only asking what Wiz & Boomstick, the guys behind "DEATH BATTLE", might do for the upcoming fight, which I'll probably accept without much complaint since they seem to do their research to come to a logical conclusion. I haven't seen any "Godzilla" films besides the 2014 one last week & the version a decade earlier that fans apparently never speak of, & the only instance of "Gamera" in my life was when "Mystery Science Theater 3000" poked fun at it. Therefore, my only knowledge of these two come from the articles here listing their abilities, so I'm looking for a few more details to decide who I'm putting my money on in a month or three, given Screw Attack's track record.


 * 1) What is the limit of each monster's atomic absorption? Both Godzilla and Gamera are practically made of the stuff & eat it up like it's an all-you-can-eat Vegas buffet, but I don't know if they ever had a movie where one could feast on the energy of another monster. Gamara seems like he's less durable than Godzilla in most areas, with or without the shell, but if he were able to suck out the radioactivity in Godzilla's cells to make them lose their regeneration or even his incredible defense, we might be looking at a little more of an even showdown. If it's the other way around, I'm guessing the turtle's dead.


 * B. How fast have Godzilla's enemies been in the past, & is Gamera faster? I notice a lot of people here are fans of the atomic breath & its spiraling death incarnate beam, but it only works if it hits the target, right? Gamera seems like he could spin that shell pretty quickly when getting a far better aerial advantage than just breathing a Kamehameha against the ground like Godzilla & his physics-defying moves. While that might not help AGAINST Godzilla, is it possible Gamera can dodge the more destructive attacks, save himself from instant explosion, & maybe even tire the big guy out?


 * D - Are there ways to determine their powers or durability? "DEATH BATTLE" seems to do a lot of math & real-world measurable science to decide victors, so some examples of each monster's feats might help. What's the most indestructible thing Gamera wrecked in his rampages? What kind of force (or logic) does it take to destroy a black hole? Is there anything we have today that could stop ONE of them? These are usually the factors used to figure out who's more likely to kick who's butt, so brushing up on some factual research as well as fictional might be needed.


 * Q: Does either fighter have a strength that's the other's weakness? Gamara can't stand cold & Godzilla was affected by electricity, so if one of them have that, the winner might be a little clearer. Since it doesn't look like they can control their breaths to blast anything besides the fire & radioactivity, though, I doubt it, but are there other disadvantages to be exploited besides beating the crap out of one another? I notice the Oxygen Destroyer did the trick with Godzilla... & doesn't fire consume that very same thing to burn? If that isn't how any of this works, don't judge me; I'm not a scientist.


 * #i WTF is up with the chest cannon again? In the "NEXT TIME" preview, I saw Gamera roar, open his underbelly, & then he was firin his lazar. If it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing, that could be the final showstopper for the bulky & slow Godzilla, especially if mana is involved; none of Godzilla's radioactive durability puts magical life energy on the list of things that can't touch him. Still, if he can survive that, I'm wondering if Godzilla could just walk up to Gamera, reach into that furnace, & pull out his heart for a FATALITY. I know Gamera can regrow fiery limbs, but are vital organs in his power?


 * Ω Would Gamera's overload suicide be enough to kill Godzilla? Imagine the fight is all but over, & Godzilla's standing over a beaten Gamera victoriously. He survived everything the enemy threw at him, even the Ultimate Plasma, but there's one last trick up his shell, & suddenly everything goes boom. If Godzilla had to be close enough to defeat him, he might not be able to escape the explosion, but would he even need to? This deadman's switch was enough to take out several monsters in the past, so could it destroy one more & make this loss a tie for Gamera? "DEATH BATTLE" has ended on that note a few times, though I'm guessing it ultimately has to do with how badly Godzilla was beaten before & how much his biology can protect him from.

Sorry if any of these have super-obvious answers that any Kaiju fan should know, & I'm REALLY sorry this took so much space here, but I'm just asking everything I can to decide in my mind who might be the winner when the titanic clash is finished. I hope I introduced a few concepts to consider that I didn't read above, but if not, I'd greatly appreciate if someone can help me out.
