Balrog and TJ Combo box for supremacy on the latest edition of Death Battle

Over the course of their Death Battle series, ScrewAttack have featured several matchups between fighting game characters, such as Sol Badguy vs. Ragna the Bloodedge, Ryu vs. Scorpion, and in an episode of Death Battle X, Noel Vermillion vs. Aigis.

Their most recent episode pits the signature boxers of Street Fighter and Killer Instinct, Balrog and TJ Combo, in a three-round bout for 2D punching supremacy.
