Alright Here\'s one more discussion, how would we classify a Curbstomp?
If we look into most Death Battles, we\'d be sure to find some arguments on how one opponent had more in their favor to win.
Take Sephiroth vs Vergil, Sephiroth\'s broken Healing Factor and Strength Feat, not to mention his experience of fighting people who are just as fast as, if not close to, as Vergil, while Vergil didn\'t seem to have anything that could beat Sephiroth. This could just be like Naruto vs Ichigo, but something\'s telling me Vergil isn\'t as outclass as it seems.

In the article posted by Ben Singer (creator of Death Battle) called \\\"One Sided Stomp\\\", he mentioned that he considers any Death Battle CurbStomp a successful episode because it means that the writers managed to convince people (Not everyone) that the research was spot on.
\\\"You know, one of the most common criticisms we get with Death Battle is that some matchups are “too one-sided.” But sometimes this seems to be based on the research presented in the episode itself, so doesn’t that mean we did our job well? Convincing you of a winner’s legitimacy is one of Death Battle’s main goals, after all! If a Death Battle convinces you of its winner so thoroughly that you come out of the show thinking the matchup is a one-sided stomp, I’d say that’s a very successful episode!\\\"
now I know many will have varying opinions on which episodes are correct in being called a curbstomp. Some people, like episodes like Gaara vs Toph, Tifa vs Yang, Ryu vs Jin or other episodes with mix reaction could or would be argued that it would be closer and not stomps. While other episodes like Flash vs Quicksilver and Venom vs Bane are two episodes people knew the outcome already.
What do you guys think of Ben\\\'s statement about successful episodes being classified as Curbstomps?
I personally say that it is a fair assumption because they do show their work when it comes to justifying the winner.
