@@ZenoDLC it’s hard to use it in a fight because it basically has no weight and the force allowed for easier and more effective use. Others can use them, ur never as well and never as safely.
Boba fett with one arm using a lightsaber to fight a predator using a laser scythe in the middle of a ring of fire might just be the coolest thing ever.
@@Murdoom Clearly a crazy thing to do, if you aren't desperate. But Fett is just trying to dull the pain, and he's known for measures, like that. Doesn't make it any less intense, that's for sure.
I forgot they could do that and hadn't even realized that's what was happening! That part makes much more sense now. I suppose that was the Predator saying "Fools" right before self-destructing too, then.
If I recall, from the old books, predators trained on the Xenomorph warriors. They were, one on one, considered starter prey. Tough and fast, but very predictable. A Queen, on the other hand, was a fight for a whole group or tribe. Where they might win, but expected to take heavy losses. However, the greatest foe to fight was the "Oomans". Humans were the prey you had to work up to to be allowed to go hunt them. They were, physically, weak and small. But were considered to be the trickiest, most innovative, adaptable, and resilient prey in the universe. It astounded the predators that a race so small and fragile could be such a threat when provoked. So they were accorded the, dubious, honor of being considered the most worthy foes. Only the seasoned warriors were permitted to go hunt them. And human trophies were prized.
Don't forget, that there has been a Yautja that has hunted an Engineer, I think that's their name. Now while they were shown as peaceful and somewhat aggressive at times they fear Xenos which Yautja hunt, granted Yautja know they are physically weaker than them, yet one has killed an engineer.
Xeno Queens were expected to be a fight for a tribe, but on the rare occasion where they were killed by a single or small group of predators it was an almost unbelievable honor. Even a 1 on 1 fight with a queen is terribly unfair for a pred, mostly because, just like humans, queens can think and plan to a degree much higher then standard drones and warriors, allowing them to plan and adapt.
Up until today, I never knew that’s where Boba debuted. Thank God he made it out of it alive, I can’t imagine what Star Wars would be like without him.
I'd like to think the tribe that the Yautja was from, documented Boba's Mandalorian symbol as the mark of a worthy foe. The tribe elder probably would've bestowed Boba with an honorary symbol of their tribe too.
The bad thing is. Because he is a worthy foe. He'll see wave after wave of predators going after him 😂😂 just like the new predator movies. They notice people can kill them so they use them for training purposes
A common misconception about the Predator's thermal vision is that their helmet gives to to them. But their helmet just focuses their own poor thermal vision enough for them to properly see, which is why they take it off to fight a worthy prey
@@Pheeras Well, the games tend to provide things that're never used featured in the comics or movies. _Predators_ used the same tactic of blinding the Predator with fire and it wasn't able to counteract it. And those were Predators that'd hunt other Predators for sport.
@@Undeadpriest94 Meh, I'm not going to argue over if the games have canonical features or not. I personally don't believe predators can't turn the vision off. Especially since in avp scar switched his vision.
In one of the Alien vs Predator comics it’s mentioned that Yautja consider humans(at that point in time) to be among the most dangerous creatures they’ve encountered, that only the most veteran Yautja are allowed to hunt. And the humans in that setting are worse equipped and far less skilled than the Starwars counterparts Edit: I should say that the comic never clarified why this is. It could just be that the Yautja want to avoid a full-scale war with humanity.
Wow ur favorite part is my least favorite part😂 maybe the out come would still be boba winning, but that part was dumb and seemed like a way for boba to win. Like what are the chances of that happening, not like boba did it on purpose.
SW Universe prolly has the tech to re-attach severed limbs. We see people get artificial limbs all the time. I would imagine it was normal for Bounty Hunters to get limbs hacked when hunting Jedi or Sith during the Old Republic days.
@@nahor88 In Legends, Boba got himself a cloned leg for reasons I never learned. Possibly due to Sarlacc damage, but I don't know. Edit: this was in the Legends continuity.
@@nahor88 we have the technology to reattach limbs. of course star wars has it unless they just focused on building cool space ship cool light sword and cool pew pew light beam gunnie gun mcgun
Whoever wins, the other gets a sweet trophy for their collection. Could you imagine a Predator with/ madalorian armor and abilities? Or Boba with the crazy plasma scythe?
The plasma scythe is a rarely used weapon though, mainly given to older, more famed yautja. A hunter facing Boba would probably have a more average arsenal as well as maybe some personal weapon (like the whips from the AvP2 hunter) but the scythe is highly unlikely.
One thing that wasn't implemted in the fight was the fact that a lightsaber burns way hotter than regular fire. In the Predator's vision we saw the lightsaber as pure white which is accurate, but the Predator would have been able to see the lightsaber surrounded by the fire even if it couldn't see Boba Fett.
Not to mention that predator had centuries of battle experience so surely it would have encountered someone who tried to use fire to blind it before it would have been able to get out of the situation like jump to a tree or something and jump out of the way he wouldn't have just froze like that 😂😒
That would be interesting. Bad Bloods dont fight honourably but then again I think the elder hunters would still outmatch them given the experience and whatnot, but im not too sure
Funny enough, I believe there was a Clone Wars episode where inside a Trandoshan trophy room there was a xenomorph and predator skull hanging from the wall as a funny Easter egg so this matchup is technically possible
@@formelyknownastfwltbcs1656 It's from: Star Wars: The Clone Wars - "Wookiee Hunt" I'm mistaken by the way. The trophy case I was thinking of was from "Predator 2" that shows the Xenomorph skull. My bad.
Fett losing an arm is honestly awesome just the idea of a close and personal fight between him and a predator and him winning with his arm as the cost is awesome
I had a feeling that Boba Fett's willingness to fight dirty would be what gave him the edge over the honorable Predator, but this was such a close match that I was low-key prepared to be wrong.
Actually, I doubt Boba would fight dirty. Remember that meeting with Vader? He specifically said, no disintegration, and Boba complied. Besides that, he refused to shoot that clone trooper in season 2 of Clone Wars.
@@darkspeinwarrior How about a badblood predator vs boba Fett now that's a noo honor predator that would make boba fight back dirty which the badblood Is great at.
@@darkspeinwarrior while that's true, he is a bounty hunter at the end of the day and was even trained later on by Bane. Dirty play is not above his character
The Fire blindness bit was my favorite as it shows Boba’s intelligence. He likely could tell the Predator could almost track him and figured out it’s use of infrared vision when the Predator lost sight of him
DB actually forgot to mention something important from Predator lore: They consider the Xenomorphs, aka Kiande Amedha, or "Hard Meat," to be what they blood their young warriors on. They consider Humans, aka Pyode Amedha / "Soft Meat," to be one of their greatest challenges. Yeah, they consider modern humans scarier than a hive of bugs, and Fett's gear is way gnarlier than the stuff the Predators would have had to face when we earned that reputation.
I thought the third movie was forgettable, and I didn't end up watching the fourth. But this next one coming out, Prey, actually kind of seems it might be good. It has them hunting some native american people (what's with calling things prey and having them be about native americans fighting aliens..?) Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how they portray that, how humans might have got a reputation like that without modern weaponry. Though I truly don't see how humans can be seen as more difficult to hunt than the Xenomorphs... I guess the intelligence to build traps and have projectile weapons, but it's not like the Xenomorphs aren't capable of learning simple things.
I mean, it makes sense. Xenomorphs are absolutely terrifying, but they're insects. They fight with natural weapons, using their instincts. They're predictable. You give a hunter the right training and gear, and the hunter will always win, barring some third variable. Humans? Most of us will go down without a fight, but most of us aren't worth hunting. But human action hero types? Unpredictable. Our technology may be inferior to theirs, but it's OURS, they don't know what a given device will do or how it will be used just from looking at it, and it only takes one mistake to end up dead or wounded.
@@kamikeserpentail3778 Apparently all the tech they have aren't made by themselves but from a race they enslaved that used to enslave them. They may know how to use it but not how it works. The fact that humans do makes them dangerous.
I think it actually depends more on which predator they went with because each hunter prefers a type of arsenal and tactics. I really liked this battle even tho they didn't seem to research specific Yautja, which would be more fitting to have a named Yautja vs another named character, especially someone as cool as Boba Fett
perhaps they went with a younger generic blooded yautja rather than an elder because it would be a bit closer in scope skill wise? i dunno. Though, I do agree it would have been a bit more interesting for a named yautja. though I only know of Wolf/wolfe however you spell it :p (i believe that is the name) from avpr (pretty sure that is that hunter) and I haven't read any of the predator comics so I don't know if in the comics there is any story that follows a specific hunter for a significant amount of time for them to choose from
@@gamebrainjagras4193 and speed, strength, deadliness and general aggresion. Predators are much more ritualistic and "honorable," but Trandoshians are just as savage
Yeah, I had a hunch as soon as I first saw the thumbnail for this battle who was going to come out on top. Boba's got too much experience against aliens with crazy gadgets. Predator brings nothing to the table Boba hasn't seen before.
They literally composited Predator throughout the movies, comics, and games. Nice lying though, especially with the logic that a non-blooded hunter having a Plasma Scythe though. And, uh, hate to break it to you, but if your point was against the animation, I will have to remind you that an animation is not an actual simulation of how a fight would go down. It uses things that a character has, but it is not a 100% simulation that depicts how a fight would go down for sure.
As soon as I saw that fiery battle ground, I knew the Yautja was done for. Also, while I accept the outcome, I'd just like to point out that Yautja don't specifically hunt only xenomorphs, as may have been pointed out in the results part. Anyways, Deathbattle is doing what Disney should have: a fight between it's franchises. Since we're doing this, can we expect a Xenomorph sometime in the future?
They were saying that killing xenomorphs is their right of passage, not that they only hunt xenomorphs. Maybe you're saying they have more options, other than xenomorphs, for their right of passage?
I don't think they were implying Predators only hunt Xenos, just that a Xeno is one of if not the toughest thing they go against. And not even a Xeno queen could contend with a competent Jedi, which is what they were going for. Boba's top prey outclasses Predator's, therefore Boba is experienced with tougher stuff than Predator.
It kinda sounded to me like they were implying Xenos were the Yautja's specific prey, which is false, but that may just have been how I heard it. Anyways. Thanks for the replies guys.
@@DarkROSkull013 a better way it could have been put is like this. Every Yautja is know to have hunted at least one xenomorph. In their lifetime, individual Yautja could have hunted prey superior to Xenos but that would be going into individual predators and they went with a standard example.
The comment was about the "Strongest prey" Space Wizards vs Xenomorph being the toughest things the hunt. Surviving a fight with Vader or even just a decent Jedi is more of an accomplishment than killing even a Xenomorph queen. And Fett has defeated several of them. The average Xenomorph would likely not even be a major threat to some of the notable Clone or Storm Troopers. Let alone one of the best Bounty Hunters, Mandalorian's or Jedi/Sith. (Though outside of the Jedi/Sith I think only a handful of people could deal with experienced predators. Such as Boba or Cad Bane) That being said if the Predator's existed in the Star Wars canon, that'd be another story. They'd likely be MUCH stronger, and WAY more deadly. Just the awareness of Jedi/Sith alone would likely result in a VAST improvement to their weapons and armor. And god forbid one of them was force sensitive. xD
That smart disc arm rip was cool. But I wasn't surprised for a dead yautja. Seeing as how expendable they are and how they probably don't want Boba to lose. 💀
@@Sniperwolf0824 samus is insaneley powerful though. She battles and beats Ridley pretty comfortably and Ridley can survive planets exploding in his face.
Yeah, they die pretty regularly to normal humans. Just look at the movie Prey. That girl didn't even have technology that Boba Fett does and still killed one. This batttle should have been more one sided than it was
Well thermal vision cannot see a predator cloak or his cold blood and with all that fire he woulda changed vision and moved away it must of been unexperienced or DeathBattle did not do there research :) have a great day Im a fan of both but i gotta say they shoulda known you cannot see a Yautja with thermal vision there a big part of predator to where they mention that. Also he didn't change his Vision they have like 20 different vison modes. including just seeing movement. Uv and so much more.
Can’t wait to see Excal Vs. Raiden. I don’t really care about who wins, i’m just glad Raiden finally returns after years. I also can’t wait for the results and then people saying it was unfair. They want it and then they don’t after the results.
That is what happens when someone does it wrong. What? You don't complain if someone wants a death battle of A marshmallow and a forest fire then the Marshmellow wins?
In all honesty, I'm actually super stoked for this fight. I don't think I've been this excited for a Death Battle since Batman vs. Iron Man. I think the main reason is I've just always wanted to see a Predator (Yautjia) hunting some of my favorite Star Wars characters. I mean, whats a better hunt for a space faring trophy hunter born into a race of warriors obsessed with honoring his people through hunting and killing the most dangerous beings in the galaxy than an intergalactic space wizard that has a glow sword that can cut through almost anything and can move things with their mind?! Or better yet, another race of warrior people that also have highly advanced armor and equipment that are similarly obsessed with bringing honor to their "clan".
Yeah but was ruined by biasm and bs half the stuff Boba had a disadvantage in the video showed the opposite he was in the center of the blast and they even mentioned Boba wouldn't survive lol bs
@@ashuprice9719 every death battle this year has been a stomp. I’d say only Zatana vs Scarlet was up for debate but even then once you realised one was focused and one was unstable then it becomes obvious. Using boba vs an unknown predator already set this DB result in check. I miss the uncertain battles like future Spider-Man vs future Batman.
What this comes down to, in my opinion, is preferred engagement distance. Boba's arsenal is very much designed to be used at mid-long ranges. His blasters, missiles, grenades, flamethrowers, etc., all show this. His melee weapons are fairly standard and although he can hold his own in close-quarters fight, it typically just amounts to not dying rather than actually winning. A predator's arsenal is the opposite. They focus on melee and close quarters fighting more than anything else. From wrist blades to knives to staves, their weapons are specialised to fight enemies up-close, and are very versatile. The plasma scythe for example can cut through most armored opponents with easy, so Boba's armour wouldn't help much either. They also have ranged attacks, but their most effectives ones are typically middle range thrown weapons. Their true long range weapons are pretty basic all things considered, and are relatively weak in comparison. It is likely the plasma caster would be unable to penetrate Boba's armour at all. They can kill at a distance, yes, but they have far more experience in melee. Their tools mostly just counter each other and level the playing field. Neither has an advantage in this regard that could change the outcome. For example, the predator can use thermal vision, but Boba's flamethrowers and explosives would disrupt that, so the predator would be better off using something else. So, in a death battle Boba would take the victory because whoever can kill the other first is going to be based, more often than not, on who has the better ranged attacks as this means a much faster kill. Boba can just play keep away and score kill after kill without needing to get close. If he does get caught in a melee, the predator's experience and versatile weapons will get the edge. Boba may carry a lightsaber, but it is unlikely he'd be able to land a hit against a predator with centuries of combat experience specifically against melee opponents, while the predator would be able to kill him relatively easily. But with no real counter against Boba's ranged attacks or strong enough ranged attacks to match him, the predator is, in all likelihood, going to lose before he can close the distance.
A big question in melee would be if the predator would be able to know they can't block an attack from the lightsaber. It's still weighted to Boba in melee due to his armor actually meaning something, where the predator's is useless.
I don’t think the flamethrower would actually counter heat vision. Boba would just be cooler than the flames around him - he would still stand out just as much.
@@mr.shadowsun5702 Exactly, i feel like they made a whole lotta mistakes here. And they discounted what a veteran Predator would have in terms of arsenal.
Eh... It's never quite shown what type of sensors he uses. Star Wars has some exotic stuff that may or may not apply. The cloak isn't perfect. Fett could have motion sensors, for instance, that track air currents.
@@MADhorseKD Im perfectly fine with the predator losing the fight. While im a big predator fan, predators have been shown to be regularly beaten, and easily outsmarted, by ordinary humans, who are nowhere near as skilled as boba fett, on numerous occasions in both the films and comics, so boba fett's victory was the more logical outcome.
Predator can see their own hand when cloaked, especially in the movies. Remember when it picked up that dead scorpion? I would take movie over game in canon.
Personally I don't see Boba being able to block any predator strikes due to strength disparity. Think lightweight vs heavyweight. Sure the armor keeps penetrating rounds at bay but the predator could literally rip his limbs off if he wanted to.
@@Stevelovesgummybears I mean, It's not like Boba is just gonna stand there and take those hits. He also has greater Versatility than the Predator, who isn't gonna survive Bob'as deadlier weaponry.
@@simounobrien9096 yeah but remember a real very experienced predator wouldnt even be brawling after the first 5 secs of realizing that the enemy was very confortable fighting on the ground. He wouldve returned to the ship and bombarded the whole zone killing him on the spot or waiting for bobba to fly away and killing him from a safe distance. Remember a top experienced predator is not also a top warrior but a seasoned strategist because he has nothing else too proof and it is too old to be rash and hothead warrior... In other words, experienced predators dont need to fight to beat the enemy and that is clearly stated in the old comics
This is really an interesting fight, when you consider that Yautja would really make for one hell of an addition to the Star Wars universe, which is already full of interesting (and very deadly) aliens. Predators would fit right in. They'd be like Wookies without the fur, and with extremely advanced technology; but, like was shown, Star Wars has a lot of tech that can easily match it.
I find their lack of consistency disturbing. Two episodes ago, they said they couldn't give Tetsuo the edge over Magneto he would have in the anime, because the anime was different from the manga so shouldn't count. Well if that's the case, then they should've only used Legends Boba Fett, or Disney canon Boba Fett. Not both
@@Viking_Luchador I believe their mindset is that the feats of the Canon and Legends versions of the characters are close enough that they can both be analyzed.
Pfft. Not really. Predator can't even take out a simple LAPD cop let alone a futuristic clone made super soldier with beskar armor. I'm sorry, but the predator movies, comics, and games are real fun, but lets be real human heroes have a really good track record at messing the predator up.

@@Viking_Luchador Even then, Tetsuo had no chance of winning considering Magneto’s consistent scaling to heralds. It was an outcome that could almost never change unless you switched out Magneto for one of his weaker versions.
@@Viking_Luchador I meant it doesn’t matter if hey included disney stuff or not. I think they did that because the book of boba fett is popular rather than them actually taking it into consideration. They did consider anime but if you think he would outmatch magneto no. I understand tetsuo gets stronger as it goes on without any limit but that just means it’s a similar scenario to hulk vs broly where hulk given enough time could over power broly but broly would start off way stronger.
not really, this one was pretty forced. I love Boba but the entire situation was based on that the predator doesn't assassinate a target that has no means of finding it. Predators also rarely attack with the plasma caster first, you know, given that they are assassins. It's their big gun
In one of the predator movies someone tried to trick them using fire to overwhelm their thermal vision, so they just switched the settings in their helmet and could see fine. I really wanted that to be implemented here.
@@scottlemiere2024 Well, more specifically, that didn't happen here because the predator's helmet was already destroyed before the fire came into play. I think the end result was fair. Out of 100 matches between Boba and a predator, Boba would probably win about half of them if he survives the initial attack. Since it wouldn't be much of a death battle if one of the contestants died to the first attack, we can probably assume that they would rule out those instances from the equation. That means this battle could go either way, but Boba is almost guaranteed to win if he survives long enough to find a weakness he can exploit, as other humans have managed to do the same with significantly fewer options in their arsenal. I was honestly expecting Boba to die with the predator in the self-destruct explosion, as I think that would have been a more fitting end.
I think you guys need to stop using “laser dodging” as a feat for speed and reflexes. Moving out of the line of fire isn’t the same as dodging a bolt of light. Moving to not be in front of the barrel isn’t the same as avoiding a beam that’s already been fired at you.
Besides most "lasers" are just bolts of plasma so you're not dodging something moving at the speed of light, it's more the equivalent of "if you can dodge a wrench"
@@javiereduardocarrillocastr6826 not necessarily in this case, though I would say that comic shot of the Pred dodging after the other one said “die” is sus to me. Examples that comes to mind are Samurai Jack dodging a beam of light that was moving along the ground, or Link dodging blasts from Beamos statues and Guardians that make a ton of noise while charging up before firing.
There really is a special feel to see Boba Fett surviving the explosion and walk towards his ship with triumphant music playing in the background. After over 11 years of being Death Battle's first ever loser, he has finally emerged victorious.
Yeah the animation in my opinion was rlly good like this is probably one of my favourite death battles and I’m not even kidding, sorry about ur loss predator fan but glad we can both agree this was a good battle
Meh...i feel like its a step back from the latest death battles, the pacing was off and it felt like alot of the set abilitys both characters had were just flung out at every second thinking it would make the scene seem cool, their wasn't any real focus on some of the abilities to make it feel more intense
It... really was not good. Pacing was horrendous, it felt less like a battle and more like they did a checklist of abilities and how they might counter each other, and... Did you see the thermal bomb explosion? It looked like they took a video of an explosion and just put it on top of the scenery. I wonder if the animators were pressed for time, because this is one of the worst ones to date.
One the one hand, I don’t think anything in Predator’s arsenal can hurt Boba Fett. On the other hand, Predator has a century of combat experience, so this battle could go either way. Edit: I made a pun and didn’t even realize it
Predator's mask has the heat vision not his regular eyes. The predator I guess they used as a example was the one in 2010 but even then I'm sure that built in heat vision is for very few predators
Considering this is an elder yautja that Boba is fighting, I think Predator might win BUT not easily. Granted, if Boba Fett wins, I won't be surprised.
This one definitely one of my most wanted fights for awhile, I'd love to see Punisher vs Naked Snake/Big Boss! That's a dream fight right there. Keep up the good work!
I'd love for boss to win but you know it will have something like the punisher beat this person who withstood this powerful thing. He would then be awarded victory.
Naked/Solid Snake is far more grounded than Punisher which is saying a lot. Snake actually takes damage and isn't bulletproof or unkillable. Punisher is an unstoppable bulletsponge. Plus seeing as Punisher has killed the entire Marvel universe it is absolutely not even remotely a fair fight.
@@ethsofresh The sequel trilogy and many things recently done by Disney is certanly trash but not Star Wars as a whole, there's a reason why so many people love Star Wars.
I feel like this battle was skewed in Boba's favor, the research on Yautjas was incredibly lacking. Yautjas are well acquainted with humans and their cunning and to hunt one is a great honor and for an Elder they made this one act quite inexperienced.
I can understand your statement. However, I’m not certain it’s a good idea to compare Boba Fett to a typical human. He is not the same as a human on Earth, being a “human Swiss Army knife” who has taken down Jedi, the same people who are able to see their opponents moves before they even make them. Still, I can see where you’re talking from.
@@Quill5park They specifically state that it's an Elder Predator they're basing this fight off of, they say it around 8:20 in the video. It's why I don't get why they made the Pred act so simple minded.
@@mekachrist3k424 I understand that Boba is likely one of the most dangerous humans a Yautja could ever face and I'm not really trying to downplay that, I mostly just meant some of his tactics are things the predator shouldn't have fallen for or downright should have countered.

Thats pretty neat that you guys addressed that the predators we see on screen are fledglings. Not everyone knows that those "babies" are as deadly as they are. Alpha predators are a different league. Also the xenomorph kingdom is insane. Accounts of the Earth War talks about Queen guards. Those xenonorphs are practically unstoppable.
To take it a step further the queens arent even the biggest nor the strongest of the xenomorph matriarchy. After queen is empress and after that its broodmother, but we only see those 2 on the xenomorphs homeworld
Also did not address the fact the males are weaker and smaller compared to the females as well as the females tend to be the better hunters most of the time
@@tyrantrex9524 The Empresses alone are double times the size too of a regular queen from what I've seen but I've never heard of a broodmother I might need to see that
It’s weird that the Predator tracks the blood trail, and then just… stabs the tree. Even if he thought Boba was behind the trunk, it doesn’t look like it was even long enough to stab THROUGH the trunk.
Not to mention Arnold tried the same trick and the predator tracked him using the vibrations of his heart. I don't think boba could have climbed the tree without being noticed.
These fight scenes are getting insanely more complex and detailed. It's amazing how far you guys have come since using the classic 16-bit sprites from the beginning of this show. Your dedication to improving your work is what keeps me coming back for more! 🤩
That result makes sense. Half the reasons the "dishonorable" trickster characters lose involve 1) considerably less power, 2) personal arrogance, and/or 3) plot armor. How many times do the good guys win because they "get lucky"? (In its worst form, also known as Deux ex Machina or pulling a good guy win out of the writer/producer's rear end.)
Using Legends feats means Boba would probably win anyway, but they fudged a lot of details in regards to the Predator. The infrared vision was a major oversight; Predator 2, AvP: Requiem and numerous comics show that the Yautja have more than just infrared sight in their helmets, to the point that a major reason Gary Busey's character gets his ass kicked is because he and his squad wrongly assumed that the City Hunter was restricted to seeing on an infrared spectrum. Their cloaking is also capable of hiding them from the vision sensors of other Yautja, which would be rather relevant in a fight where one of the deciding factors is whether or not Boba can even see who he's engaging with. A good chunk of standard Predator gadgets seem to be missing, and many of the Yautja's physical feats outside of strength appear to have been ignored. Relativistic speed is also being way too generous for both parties; blaster bolts don't function similarly to beams of light, and neither do the lasers that the Predator dodged. More than that, both parties have shown limitations far below that threshold, and most people will agree that neither of them have consistently shown the ability to fight at near-lightspeed. It seems like the team did this to avoid addressing the fact that the Predators' next-best feats involve bullet-timing and outrunning cars, while Boba has done nothing similar. Overall, I feel that they got the right answer, but they arrived at said answer using entirely the wrong means. The fight was cool, but the research was pretty lacking.
@@RichardHunslet1963 I literally said that using Legends feats means Boba would win anyway. That doesn't change the fact that there are several inaccuracies in their analysis, and that they represented the Predator poorly to give Fett the win when they really didn't have to.
Yeah he’s definitely worthy to kill a Predator but an Experience Yautja(like the ones that would hunt humans) wouldn’t fall for any of his tricks so yeah, this wasn’t a fair assessment.
@@sonicANDtailsfan157k he would’ve lost anyways to her, hell if they pit her against the predator she would’ve easily killed them as well, her suit is no joke
Great battle! This was one of the more "realistic" battles, compared to earth shattering strength and impossible time-controlling durability; this was a breath of fresh air.
I wanted to comment the same thing it felt so much better than seeing 2 universe lvl fighter's like vageta and thor use magic S*** and one is clearly faster by a lot yet still the other guy took the lead on the hit's
They definitely undercut the predator a little here first the cloaking hides the heat signature as well as the predator and second it had 100s of years of experience there is no way that someone would not have tried to use the fire trick
I don't even think the fire trick was intentional, it just sorta coincidentally happened 'n stuff. Nobody's really gonna think to try it because typically they'd just expect them to see like any other regular person could. That's just my thoughts on it at least.
@@norrecvizharan1177 well I would think like that but it's happened a few times in the movies and you think it would be predictable with how many years of experience the predators have
@@Something_Godzilla Hmmm, probably. Maybe the mask breaking also contributed to the confusion? I doubt it's every year or hunt that they wind up with both broken tech and a scorched battlefield, let alone with a target that's practically hiding inside the flames themselves.
Boba climbing a tree with one arm and no jetpack in full view of an opponent that can see thermal was ridiculous. Not to mention predator stabbing through the tree instead of just lighting it up with the plasma caster. Nice animation though.
Not to mention that even they said a yautja will make you fight on it's terms, it would have never sat in the middle of a fire where it would be blind, it would have moved out and forced Boba into a more advantageous position for it
Keep in mind, the animated clips of the fights are just hypothetical scenarios of how the fight would go, and shouldn’t be taken too seriously. They, the folks at Death Battle, run their data to see who would win, then make the clips soley for the sake of entertainment.
@@Viking_Luchador you do realize the fights are just for entertainment? It always bafles me how people will complain that characters would win if they didn’t do x, the conclusion was already made and they just made a fight to make a possible scenario how one might have won 🤦♂️
@@piercelindenberg8156 yes, because Samus would win. Hard. It's just rough because it's not even a skill issue, it's a power issue. Samus's power suit could likely tank a blast from a thermal detonator. Her weaponry includes explosives with just as much punch (if not more) than Boba's anti-vehicle missile, and in much wider variety. They're both very skilled fighters, but out of the suit, too, Samus had a Goku-style higher-gravity training-montage as her life, AND she underwent extensive surgery altering her DNA to make her faster and stronger at base. It's a mismatch for poor Boba Fett. He just gets stomped. I honestly wish we could get more Death Battles that are closer fights. Way too many of them are like... RIDICULOUSLY stacked from the start.
Boba isn’t unfamiliar with creatures like the predator in his universe. Sure the predator is an absolute savage compared to other beings, but there’s tons of animals just like the predator in Star Wars that boba has defeated himself. So boba definitely takes this W.
I had just watched a video on another channel with a similar match up, The Mandalorian (Din Djarin) vs Predator, while I would love to see your take on that I believe the outcome would be about the same, but I think you did a better job covering the background of both combatants.
The whole experience thing feels kinda one sided, Aliens are their preferred prey but predators hunt anything or anyone they see worthy, even other predators in some cases, so the idea they would have no experience or versatility in combat and thinking an old predator has never seen tricks feels kind of out of place. On the other hand i doubt someone that survived a fight against a space wizard would have a problem with anythin a Yautjia, the scaling in both universes is way too different.
We dont know about much of the other species across the Universe the Xenomorph and Predators are inhabitating, so it is difficult to conclude how much experience a Predator would have fighting anything else than Xenomorphs, Predators and Predaliens. Though it would be very far fetched to conclude the only other species they have ever met would be humans with "current technology" levels. Like they said at the end, any of the oldest Predators would very likely have won.
I'm very skeptical to justifying any non force user fighting a force specialist, especially the likes of Vader. Boba may be a superhuman. But Vader is an enhanced super human with enforced super feats by use of the force. Plus he can just lift Boba while either stopping his explosives or just block his lasers with his hands. This is the gripe I have with the continuity. All these "feats" just retcon the entire series. You'd think space wizards who can move planets and erase entire fleets with a thought would be more respected and remembered than just be called a mad cult in less than a life time. And of course. If they could do all this, why didn't they in any of the movies or even the TV series? They should be flashing blurs wiping out entire armies if they went by comics and books. Imagine superman lifting the universe, the next chapter he bleeds from having a car dropped on him and uses both hands to lift it.
@@magnusm4 there is a slight deviation from what you said though, only a select few were capable of the feats you mention. Anakin and Luke for example were compared to someone capable of moving/splitting planets and suns but their feats were never on par. Even from what's recorded, the most Vader has done is crash a starship by forcing it to the ground
If predators fought other Predators that would be fairly similar to a fight with Boba. On the other Hand the same can be Said about Boba fighting other Bounty hunters and/or Mandalorians. In the end i think the difference is Boba taking down Jedi and giving Vader a run for his money which is more impressive than anything a predator has done
I think that if Boba faced a much more experienced predator, like one of the elders or just a more experienced predator in general, he would most definitely have lost.
I hope this doesn't sound ignorant but don't elder predators only come down when one of their own is acting foolish or a human proves themselves worthy or one of their own mcfuckin' dies?
@@swaglevi4315 Yep, the leader will only come under these circumstances, the elders will possibly come in the leaders place. But the AVP Predator we seen was the leader of the whole collective. In the movies, only one human was shown to be worthy of holding the title Yatja warrior. In the comics, it's the same.
@@swaglevi4315 It's a guarantee he met an elder or the actual leader. But one of the two came and another guarantee gave him the title of Yautja warrior. Which is extremely hard to obtain in the society. And only two humans actually got this title, both are women. One actually lives on their homeworld and the other lives on earth(AVP).
Well I do agree on this outcome you should have pit character vs character. Since you used bobafett and not a mandalorian, you should have done the same with predator and picked one of the best named predators from the comics. Just my opinion. But entertaining nonetheless.
Did someone forget in Predators, it was mentioned Yautja armor hides their heat signature? Not to mention heightened natural senses even without their armor. Really feel like the research focused more on Boba for this one.
Also predators only have thermal vision when they wear their mask. At the climax of the fight, the predator had taken his one off meaning that it only had it's natural infrared sight, which (correct me if I'm wrong) wouldn't be affected by the fire around it
@@da1realkyng296 no it would be look what happened in the predators movie during the final fight he had his helmet off and the fire was effecting his vision but he could also see a heart beat presence
I mean, even Elder Predators only carry the same camo and defences as the Predator from the first movie, who still got jumped and killed by Arnie’s character, so it’s absolutely reasonable that Fett manages to get around that same camo to score a kill. Plus, code of honour means, while the Predator certainly could have sat in camouflage and sniped away at Fett from a distance, it realistically would rather have died fighting him in melee.
If you're using a predator AT THEIR PEAK, then it would have known to test Boba before engaging and would have made a plan. If it saw that it's attacks aren't going through, it would have went for the neck just like Mace Windu did.
The rule of Death Battle is the combatants are fighting each other blind. That's why Batman looses almost all his DBs, they cut off his speciality "Planning and Improvisation". Same thing got applied here
@@m-wan2547 They do that so that characters literally like Batman can't just sit and plan for 10 years before the battle and have all the right gear at the right time. I'd assume the logic maybe for this death battle is the two were hunting the same thing and just happened to run into each other or some other likely scenario
Why would an elder Predator simply stay near the fire, if you display it as his weakness? If he is an elder Predator with hundreds of years of combat experience, he would know to choose a favorable environment for combat. He could simply move away from it and find a better angle, which would lead to a successful hunt.
the animation is only there for entertainment, you shouldnt base yourself on that, bc its basically impossible to know exactly each and every step the characters would take
Strength wise Predator has the advantage, but I think boba fett got this. And while it depends on how experienced the predator is, it has been out smarted multiple times and I think boba has fought opponents with similar built, plus the latter has equipment that can counter the former’s
Well when a single failure means an honorable death I'm pretty sure any predator hands up coming across is going to be highly experienced and well adapted.
It is not just quantity of experience, it is also quality. The Predators are used to taking out dangerous animals and primitive people. The Mandalorians go after high tech soldiers, powerful crime lords and space wizards. TBH while a mid-level Predator could take out almost anyone on Earth in a "fair" fight, I doubt even a high level Predator could take out a moderately high level Jedi.
@@mal35m I mean the Jedi won’t be able to use the force on them since they don’t come from that certain verse of Star Wars but I think most jedi have shown planet level destruction feats
You guys usually don't mess up like this but without their mask Pred doesn't see in heat vision anymore, and they can't be seen with infrared too. Really feel the research was more on Fett than Predator.
I thought that without their mask they saw in infrared and with it they see in thermographic (by default)? It's why the world became less detailed and red in Predator 87 when he took the mask off to fight Arnie - the thermographic was muting the ambient heat.
I love how boba Fett went against Darth Vader yet he never got his arm cut off in that battle against that powerful sith Lord and in this death battle he gets his arm cut off by predator I love it
@@gameuniverse5973 worse than killing all his friends taking his hand and attempt to turn his soul to the dark side? Yeah pretty sure Vader gets worse dad of the year
This death battle is definitly one of my favorites, its not all about just beating the crap out of your enemy, strategy is a key part of a battle, and ngl, the part where the Predator got confused by the fire was epic
I feel like someone likely would question how Boba would have been able to figure out the Predator’s blindness in high heat area’s but it’s likely Boba figured it out very early on in the fight. And even if he didn’t he’s smart as hell
@Seamus Pratte He wouldn’t really have to figure it out perse. Against such an aggressive fighter he’d inevitably use his flamethrower and he wouldn’t have to know why his foe is disoriented to take advantage of it.
Yeah, but an experienced Predator should damned well know of their own massive weakness. Even the one in the first movie knew Arnold was calling him into a trap, and like they said, that one was supposed to be kind of inexperienced. It's also said in some of the movies that that sometimes hunt on the hottest days of the year, possibly to handicap themselves.
There's a BIG misinformation in this death battle. Heat vision comes with the helmet. In the latter part of the battle, predator took it off, he should have normal vision lol
it should also be noted that one of Boba's common rivals is Bossk. A character very similar to the predator in many ways. While a predator is certainly smarter than Bossk the way that they fight is almost identical down to the claws and thermal vision. The only practical difference is that the predator uses cloaking technology that you guys were quick to dismiss as Fett's visor beats it. Considering how often Boba fett defeats Bossk both in and out of canon and how the fights are so much of a joke that Fett doesn't bother killing bossk because he represents so little of a threat I think this fight should have been over much sooner. Considering the variety of super human aliens that fill the star wars galaxy fighting a Yautcha is just a tuesday to Fett.
100% a peak being of any race takes down any Average Predator. However a Clan Leader would definitely be more experienced than most any being at any point in their life. Boba Fett definitely wins against a first time encounter with a common blooded predator. But he would not be able to best a Clan Leader or a second coming .
I would say cap, but they did mention that even some of the Clan Leaders were killed off by Aliens. Given that this Predator had an arsenal of weapons, that should make him an experienced fighter. I'm sure this one would go both directions, but I think Boba Fett wins more times than the Predator.

If I recall, from the old books, predators trained on the Xenomorph warriors. They were, one on one, considered starter prey. Tough and fast, but very predictable. A Queen, on the other hand, was a fight for a whole group or tribe. Where they might win, but expected to take heavy losses. However, the greatest foe to fight was the "Oomans". Humans were the prey you had to work up to to be allowed to go hunt them. They were, physically, weak and small. But were considered to be the trickiest, most innovative, adaptable, and resilient prey in the universe. It astounded the predators that a race so small and fragile could be such a threat when provoked. So they were accorded the, dubious, honor of being considered the most worthy foes. Only the seasoned warriors were permitted to go hunt them. And human trophies were prized.
Damn they’re giving us too much credit 😂. But In all seriousness that does make a lot of sense.
TY for explaining that I didn't know that
Probably why they worshipped batman after batman vs predator
Don't forget, that there has been a Yautja that has hunted an Engineer, I think that's their name. Now while they were shown as peaceful and somewhat aggressive at times they fear Xenos which Yautja hunt, granted Yautja know they are physically weaker than them, yet one has killed an engineer.
Xeno Queens were expected to be a fight for a tribe, but on the rare occasion where they were killed by a single or small group of predators it was an almost unbelievable honor. Even a 1 on 1 fight with a queen is terribly unfair for a pred, mostly because, just like humans, queens can think and plan to a degree much higher then standard drones and warriors, allowing them to plan and adapt.
I like how "Survived debuting in the Holiday Special" is considered one of Fett's feats

A common misconception about the Predator's thermal vision is that their helmet gives to to them. But their helmet just focuses their own poor thermal vision enough for them to properly see, which is why they take it off to fight a worthy prey
That's why the Predator couldn't see Boba with all of that fire because he took his helmet off.

In one of the Alien vs Predator comics it’s mentioned that Yautja consider humans(at that point in time) to be among the most dangerous creatures they’ve encountered, that only the most veteran Yautja are allowed to hunt. And the humans in that setting are worse equipped and far less skilled than the Starwars counterparts
Edit:
I should say that the comic never clarified why this is. It could just be that the Yautja want to avoid a full-scale war with humanity.
Different yauja have different opinions on people. Some elder predators can’t even be bothered to pretend humans are a proper challenge.

My favorite part of this death battle was how the fire turned the Predator's own thermal vision against him making him essentially blind.
That brings up an interesting problem for the Predator in this fight: Fett's flame thrower would also be a blinding effect.
I thought the fire was an asspull but I remember boba could figure that out.

Well predator body was vaporized so boba dint get too take anything but his arm back
Lord knows if he’d want the scythe
There's some awesome fan art of predators with mandalorian armor
The plasma scythe is a rarely used weapon though, mainly given to older, more famed yautja. A hunter facing Boba would probably have a more average arsenal as well as maybe some personal weapon (like the whips from the AvP2 hunter) but the scythe is highly unlikely.
@@gameuniverse5973 Well, that was the most important thing Boba could arm himself with...
One thing that wasn't implemted in the fight was the fact that a lightsaber burns way hotter than regular fire. In the Predator's vision we saw the lightsaber as pure white which is accurate, but the Predator would have been able to see the lightsaber surrounded by the fire even if it couldn't see Boba Fett.
This is actually a really good point. The Pred could have struck the killing blow before Fett figured this out.
Wouldn’t that much fire (and thus heat) blow up the thermal vision - make it completely white out?
Not to mention that predator had centuries of battle experience so surely it would have encountered someone who tried to use fire to blind it before it would have been able to get out of the situation like jump to a tree or something and jump out of the way he wouldn't have just froze like that 😂😒
Yes, but Boba could have just had it off until the killing blow.
But how was the predator able to see thermal without his mask?
Seems like a boba convenience thing to me.
They should’ve used a bad blood predator (meaning a dishonorable predator) which should’ve been a much more interesting fight.
Definitely!
If I recall correctly, the elder hunters still outmatch the bad blood. Then again you would be comparing the most elite hunters at that point.
Almost no one knows about the Bad Blood's.
That would be interesting. Bad Bloods dont fight honourably but then again I think the elder hunters would still outmatch them given the experience and whatnot, but im not too sure

Fett losing an arm is honestly awesome just the idea of a close and personal fight between him and a predator and him winning with his arm as the cost is awesome
I had a feeling that Boba Fett's willingness to fight dirty would be what gave him the edge over the honorable Predator, but this was such a close match that I was low-key prepared to be wrong.

The Fire blindness bit was my favorite as it shows Boba’s intelligence. He likely could tell the Predator could almost track him and figured out it’s use of infrared vision when the Predator lost sight of him
DB actually forgot to mention something important from Predator lore: They consider the Xenomorphs, aka Kiande Amedha, or "Hard Meat," to be what they blood their young warriors on. They consider Humans, aka Pyode Amedha / "Soft Meat," to be one of their greatest challenges.
Yeah, they consider modern humans scarier than a hive of bugs, and Fett's gear is way gnarlier than the stuff the Predators would have had to face when we earned that reputation.
I thought the third movie was forgettable, and I didn't end up watching the fourth.
But this next one coming out, Prey, actually kind of seems it might be good.
It has them hunting some native american people (what's with calling things prey and having them be about native americans fighting aliens..?)
Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how they portray that, how humans might have got a reputation like that without modern weaponry.
Though I truly don't see how humans can be seen as more difficult to hunt than the Xenomorphs... I guess the intelligence to build traps and have projectile weapons, but it's not like the Xenomorphs aren't capable of learning simple things.
I mean, it makes sense. Xenomorphs are absolutely terrifying, but they're insects. They fight with natural weapons, using their instincts. They're predictable. You give a hunter the right training and gear, and the hunter will always win, barring some third variable.
Humans? Most of us will go down without a fight, but most of us aren't worth hunting. But human action hero types? Unpredictable. Our technology may be inferior to theirs, but it's OURS, they don't know what a given device will do or how it will be used just from looking at it, and it only takes one mistake to end up dead or wounded.

@@kamikeserpentail3778 it’s probably because of human ingenuity
I think it actually depends more on which predator they went with because each hunter prefers a type of arsenal and tactics.

Maybe Wolf?
Should have been scarface from predator concrete jungle
Remember all Elite Predators like Wolf are nowhere near an Elder Predator by ranked yet they made this Predator an amateur against Boba.
perhaps they went with a younger generic blooded yautja rather than an elder because it would be a bit closer in scope skill wise? i dunno. Though, I do agree it would have been a bit more interesting for a named yautja. though I only know of Wolf/wolfe however you spell it :p (i believe that is the name) from avpr (pretty sure that is that hunter) and I haven't read any of the predator comics so I don't know if in the comics there is any story that follows a specific hunter for a significant amount of time for them to choose from

They should have used the Jungle Hunter instead of this weird mishmash, imo
Death Battle really is biased.
They literally composited Predator throughout the movies, comics, and games. Nice lying though, especially with the logic that a non-blooded hunter having a Plasma Scythe though. And, uh, hate to break it to you, but if your point was against the animation, I will have to remind you that an animation is not an actual simulation of how a fight would go down. It uses things that a character has, but it is not a 100% simulation that depicts how a fight would go down for sure.
Yeah that didn’t make sense
As soon as I saw that fiery battle ground, I knew the Yautja was done for. Also, while I accept the outcome, I'd just like to point out that Yautja don't specifically hunt only xenomorphs, as may have been pointed out in the results part.
Anyways, Deathbattle is doing what Disney should have: a fight between it's franchises. Since we're doing this, can we expect a Xenomorph sometime in the future?
They were saying that killing xenomorphs is their right of passage, not that they only hunt xenomorphs. Maybe you're saying they have more options, other than xenomorphs, for their right of passage?
I don't think they were implying Predators only hunt Xenos, just that a Xeno is one of if not the toughest thing they go against. And not even a Xeno queen could contend with a competent Jedi, which is what they were going for. Boba's top prey outclasses Predator's, therefore Boba is experienced with tougher stuff than Predator.
It kinda sounded to me like they were implying Xenos were the Yautja's specific prey, which is false, but that may just have been how I heard it. Anyways. Thanks for the replies guys.
@@DarkROSkull013 a better way it could have been put is like this. Every Yautja is know to have hunted at least one xenomorph. In their lifetime, individual Yautja could have hunted prey superior to Xenos but that would be going into individual predators and they went with a standard example.
The comment was about the "Strongest prey" Space Wizards vs Xenomorph being the toughest things the hunt.
Surviving a fight with Vader or even just a decent Jedi is more of an accomplishment than killing even a Xenomorph queen. And Fett has defeated several of them.
The average Xenomorph would likely not even be a major threat to some of the notable Clone or Storm Troopers. Let alone one of the best Bounty Hunters, Mandalorian's or Jedi/Sith. (Though outside of the Jedi/Sith I think only a handful of people could deal with experienced predators. Such as Boba or Cad Bane)
That being said if the Predator's existed in the Star Wars canon, that'd be another story. They'd likely be MUCH stronger, and WAY more deadly. Just the awareness of Jedi/Sith alone would likely result in a VAST improvement to their weapons and armor. And god forbid one of them was force sensitive. xD
That smart disc arm rip was cool. But I wasn't surprised for a dead yautja. Seeing as how expendable they are and how they probably don't want Boba to lose. 💀
dosen't make sense since Fett lost to Samus from metroid in the very first season
@@Sniperwolf0824 samus is insaneley powerful though. She battles and beats Ridley pretty comfortably and Ridley can survive planets exploding in his face.
True and I’m glad boba won this battle
They definitely didnt want him to lose
Love your channel!
I rlly wouldn’t be surprised if Boba Fett killed a few predators. Keep in mind that it only took Arnold Schwarzenegger to kill one.
Yeah, they die pretty regularly to normal humans. Just look at the movie Prey. That girl didn't even have technology that Boba Fett does and still killed one. This batttle should have been more one sided than it was

Everyone wants a deathbattle to happen
until it's over
Well thermal vision cannot see a predator cloak or his cold blood and with all that fire he woulda changed vision and moved away it must of been unexperienced or DeathBattle did not do there research :) have a great day Im a fan of both but i gotta say they shoulda known you cannot see a Yautja with thermal vision there a big part of predator to where they mention that. Also he didn't change his Vision they have like 20 different vison modes. including just seeing movement. Uv and so much more.
Can’t wait to see Excal Vs. Raiden.

@@taurock96 that was not an even match sure Scarlet witch was powerful but zatanna could shatter the very dc comics themselves
I don't remember the last time a Death Battle got me this level on the edge
Facts!!
In all honesty, I'm actually super stoked for this fight. I don't think I've been this excited for a Death Battle since Batman vs. Iron Man. I think the main reason is I've just always wanted to see a Predator (Yautjia) hunting some of my favorite Star Wars characters. I mean, whats a better hunt for a space faring trophy hunter born into a race of warriors obsessed with honoring his people through hunting and killing the most dangerous beings in the galaxy than an intergalactic space wizard that has a glow sword that can cut through almost anything and can move things with their mind?! Or better yet, another race of warrior people that also have highly advanced armor and equipment that are similarly obsessed with bringing honor to their "clan".
Same. I always thought the Xeno’s and Predators would be amazing in Masseffect or star wars
Batman vs iron man was a stomp and a mismatch
Yeah but was ruined by biasm and bs half the stuff Boba had a disadvantage in the video showed the opposite he was in the center of the blast and they even mentioned Boba wouldn't survive lol bs
mmmmmmmm
@@ashuprice9719 every death battle this year has been a stomp. I’d say only Zatana vs Scarlet was up for debate but even then once you realised one was focused and one was unstable then it becomes obvious. Using boba vs an unknown predator already set this DB result in check. I miss the uncertain battles like future Spider-Man vs future Batman.
Love how the Predator mimicked Boba's voice!
Yeah I feel like if it was an elder predator would've got him
When did he do that?
@@deathseekr1537it WAS an Elder one
What this comes down to, in my opinion, is preferred engagement distance. Boba's arsenal is very much designed to be used at mid-long ranges. His blasters, missiles, grenades, flamethrowers, etc., all show this. His melee weapons are fairly standard and although he can hold his own in close-quarters fight, it typically just amounts to not dying rather than actually winning.
A predator's arsenal is the opposite. They focus on melee and close quarters fighting more than anything else. From wrist blades to knives to staves, their weapons are specialised to fight enemies up-close, and are very versatile. The plasma scythe for example can cut through most armored opponents with easy, so Boba's armour wouldn't help much either. They also have ranged attacks, but their most effectives ones are typically middle range thrown weapons. Their true long range weapons are pretty basic all things considered, and are relatively weak in comparison. It is likely the plasma caster would be unable to penetrate Boba's armour at all. They can kill at a distance, yes, but they have far more experience in melee.
Their tools mostly just counter each other and level the playing field. Neither has an advantage in this regard that could change the outcome. For example, the predator can use thermal vision, but Boba's flamethrowers and explosives would disrupt that, so the predator would be better off using something else.
So, in a death battle Boba would take the victory because whoever can kill the other first is going to be based, more often than not, on who has the better ranged attacks as this means a much faster kill. Boba can just play keep away and score kill after kill without needing to get close. If he does get caught in a melee, the predator's experience and versatile weapons will get the edge. Boba may carry a lightsaber, but it is unlikely he'd be able to land a hit against a predator with centuries of combat experience specifically against melee opponents, while the predator would be able to kill him relatively easily.
But with no real counter against Boba's ranged attacks or strong enough ranged attacks to match him, the predator is, in all likelihood, going to lose before he can close the distance.
also, lightsaber
A big question in melee would be if the predator would be able to know they can't block an attack from the lightsaber. It's still weighted to Boba in melee due to his armor actually meaning something, where the predator's is useless.
@@Rafael_Fuchs well that why it probably strikes with the blade of the scythe too see if it can cut through the light saber
That is such a well reasoned argument.
I don’t think the flamethrower would actually counter heat vision. Boba would just be cooler than the flames around him - he would still stand out just as much.
Being called ugly by Boba Fett, a guy who's seen the kind of freaks who frequent Jabba's Palace, is extremely insulting.
Boba Fett vs Predator in a nutshell...
Boba: Finally, a guy that won't freeze me.
Let the hunt, BEGIN!
Predator: ...?
I’m very glad about the lack of ice weapons in this. Plus I can use my portable high ground
I love you
YEAH!!
The animations are so fluid and epicly well done. Amazing job team, this one is one of the best ones yet
One big issue, Yautja cloaks hide thermal signatures, not just visual. As seen by their own perspective in both movies and games.
Not only that but yautja dont have only termal vision
@@mr.shadowsun5702 Exactly, i feel like they made a whole lotta mistakes here. And they discounted what a veteran Predator would have in terms of arsenal.
Eh... It's never quite shown what type of sensors he uses. Star Wars has some exotic stuff that may or may not apply. The cloak isn't perfect. Fett could have motion sensors, for instance, that track air currents.
@@MADhorseKD Im perfectly fine with the predator losing the fight. While im a big predator fan, predators have been shown to be regularly beaten, and easily outsmarted, by ordinary humans, who are nowhere near as skilled as boba fett, on numerous occasions in both the films and comics, so boba fett's victory was the more logical outcome.
Predator can see their own hand when cloaked, especially in the movies. Remember when it picked up that dead scorpion? I would take movie over game in canon.
Personally I don't see Boba being able to block any predator strikes due to strength disparity. Think lightweight vs heavyweight. Sure the armor keeps penetrating rounds at bay but the predator could literally rip his limbs off if he wanted to.

I think you're just salty that mandalorians are better than Yauja literally anyway you slice it

@@Stevelovesgummybears I mean, It's not like Boba is just gonna stand there and take those hits. He also has greater Versatility than the Predator, who isn't gonna survive Bob'as deadlier weaponry.
@@simounobrien9096 yeah but remember a real very experienced predator wouldnt even be brawling after the first 5 secs of realizing that the enemy was very confortable fighting on the ground. He wouldve returned to the ship and bombarded the whole zone killing him on the spot or waiting for bobba to fly away and killing him from a safe distance. Remember a top experienced predator is not also a top warrior but a seasoned strategist because he has nothing else too proof and it is too old to be rash and hothead warrior... In other words, experienced predators dont need to fight to beat the enemy and that is clearly stated in the old comics
This is really an interesting fight, when you consider that Yautja would really make for one hell of an addition to the Star Wars universe, which is already full of interesting (and very deadly) aliens. Predators would fit right in. They'd be like Wookies without the fur, and with extremely advanced technology; but, like was shown, Star Wars has a lot of tech that can easily match it.
trandoshans are basically the predators of the star wars universe; they hunt for the Scorekeeper (their god) etc etc etc
Ion think wookies go around tryna run fades with everything they see as a worthy opponent.
I find their lack of consistency disturbing. Two episodes ago, they said they couldn't give Tetsuo the edge over Magneto he would have in the anime, because the anime was different from the manga so shouldn't count. Well if that's the case, then they should've only used Legends Boba Fett, or Disney canon Boba Fett. Not both
@@Viking_Luchador I believe their mindset is that the feats of the Canon and Legends versions of the characters are close enough that they can both be analyzed.
Pfft. Not really. Predator can't even take out a simple LAPD cop let alone a futuristic clone made super soldier with beskar armor. I'm sorry, but the predator movies, comics, and games are real fun, but lets be real human heroes have a really good track record at messing the predator up.
Even if he lost The Predator humiliating Boba with his own voice was hilarious

@@Viking_Luchador Even then, Tetsuo had no chance of winning considering Magneto’s consistent scaling to heralds. It was an outcome that could almost never change unless you switched out Magneto for one of his weaker versions.

@@Viking_Luchador I meant it doesn’t matter if hey included disney stuff or not. I think they did that because the book of boba fett is popular rather than them actually taking it into consideration. They did consider anime but if you think he would outmatch magneto no. I understand tetsuo gets stronger as it goes on without any limit but that just means it’s a similar scenario to hulk vs broly where hulk given enough time could over power broly but broly would start off way stronger.
Honestly I was rooting for the predator given his skills and tech. But this match did not disappoint and it was fair and evenly matched
I didn't give enough cred to Boba Fett
@@t.jmaddog2188 same here. I thought the predator’s years of fighting experience and technology would give it the upper hand
not really, this one was pretty forced. I love Boba but the entire situation was based on that the predator doesn't assassinate a target that has no means of finding it. Predators also rarely attack with the plasma caster first, you know, given that they are assassins. It's their big gun
@@sebastianf.9913 Same
@@nathanielbass771 i mean boba has perfect 360 vision so it be hard for the predator too keep on hiding
After losing to Samus TWICE, Boba Fett truly needed this win
Well he was not prepared for a high class bounty hunter like samus so they decided to pick a character that have a hobby to hunt and to kill his prey
You forgot to mention something about the self-destruct thing. In Predator 2, it was destroyed mid-countdown, and it aborted the explosion.
Yeah. but that wouldn't have looked cool!
We all know what that device does because we seen all the Preds movies......
Fett did not.
@@SPMask That is true. Wasn't saying it should have changed the ending, just seemed like something that should have been noted in the run-down.
In one of the predator movies someone tried to trick them using fire to overwhelm their thermal vision, so they just switched the settings in their helmet and could see fine. I really wanted that to be implemented here.
They needed a way to make sure Boba Fett won.
Yeah and the Predator can hide his body heat when he's invisible. He's completely invisible. They forgot that part for some reason.
@@scottlemiere2024 Well, more specifically, that didn't happen here because the predator's helmet was already destroyed before the fire came into play. I think the end result was fair. Out of 100 matches between Boba and a predator, Boba would probably win about half of them if he survives the initial attack. Since it wouldn't be much of a death battle if one of the contestants died to the first attack, we can probably assume that they would rule out those instances from the equation. That means this battle could go either way, but Boba is almost guaranteed to win if he survives long enough to find a weakness he can exploit, as other humans have managed to do the same with significantly fewer options in their arsenal.
I was honestly expecting Boba to die with the predator in the self-destruct explosion, as I think that would have been a more fitting end.
The thermal detonator damaged the predators helmet beyond use, and the predators only see thermal naturally
What movie was that?
I think you guys need to stop using “laser dodging” as a feat for speed and reflexes. Moving out of the line of fire isn’t the same as dodging a bolt of light. Moving to not be in front of the barrel isn’t the same as avoiding a beam that’s already been fired at you.
Besides most "lasers" are just bolts of plasma so you're not dodging something moving at the speed of light, it's more the equivalent of "if you can dodge a wrench"
You can dodge anything if it starts far enough away
could not agree More
Can you show scans that prove that it's aim dodging?
@@javiereduardocarrillocastr6826 not necessarily in this case, though I would say that comic shot of the Pred dodging after the other one said “die” is sus to me. Examples that comes to mind are Samurai Jack dodging a beam of light that was moving along the ground, or Link dodging blasts from Beamos statues and Guardians that make a ton of noise while charging up before firing.
Boba is immune, no matter how many times predator cuts him… THE FANBASE WILL REVIVE HIM!
well idk what ur talking about cause it seems to me that Boba slaughtered the Predator
@@ghstcffee7717
yeah. there's no armour like plot armour.
There really is a special feel to see Boba Fett surviving the explosion and walk towards his ship with triumphant music playing in the background. After over 11 years of being Death Battle's first ever loser, he has finally emerged victorious.

Meh...i feel like its a step back from the latest death battles, the pacing was off and it felt like alot of the set abilitys both characters had were just flung out at every second thinking it would make the scene seem cool, their wasn't any real focus on some of the abilities to make it feel more intense
It... really was not good. Pacing was horrendous, it felt less like a battle and more like they did a checklist of abilities and how they might counter each other, and... Did you see the thermal bomb explosion? It looked like they took a video of an explosion and just put it on top of the scenery. I wonder if the animators were pressed for time, because this is one of the worst ones to date.
One the one hand, I don’t think anything in Predator’s arsenal can hurt Boba Fett. On the other hand, Predator has a century of combat experience, so this battle could go either way.
Edit: I made a pun and didn’t even realize it

Elite Predator > Boba Fett > Average Predator

Predator's mask has the heat vision not his regular eyes. The predator I guess they used as a example was the one in 2010 but even then I'm sure that built in heat vision is for very few predators
Bro watch predator 1987, and look at the predators pov when he removes the mask
Considering this is an elder yautja that Boba is fighting, I think Predator might win BUT not easily. Granted, if Boba Fett wins, I won't be surprised.

nah
I honestly agree but as stan lee once say the writer choose the victor
Agreed. Having a more “grounded” fight is a nice change of pace from characters who can destroy planets by punching them.
@@arnahunas4048 Yeah, reminds me of the old DeathBattle days. Back before the TNTverse.
That's mostly with like anime, comics or movies death battle just goes with what they see no matter how bizarre
This one definitely one of my most wanted fights for awhile, I'd love to see Punisher vs Naked Snake/Big Boss! That's a dream fight right there. Keep up the good work!
The Big Boss for the win
I feel like punisher vs John wick would work better
I'd love for boss to win but you know it will have something like the punisher beat this person who withstood this powerful thing. He would then be awarded victory.
Punisher vs Rambo would be a more fair and interesting battle.
Naked/Solid Snake is far more grounded than Punisher which is saying a lot. Snake actually takes damage and isn't bulletproof or unkillable. Punisher is an unstoppable bulletsponge. Plus seeing as Punisher has killed the entire Marvel universe it is absolutely not even remotely a fair fight.
If the predator did not take off his mask he would have maybe won. But alas boba survived the holiday special

I feel like this battle was skewed in Boba's favor, the research on Yautjas was incredibly lacking. Yautjas are well acquainted with humans and their cunning and to hunt one is a great honor and for an Elder they made this one act quite inexperienced.
It was a blooded hunter, not an Elder. I still agree that this Predator was a bit lacking in the tactical department though.
I can understand your statement. However, I’m not certain it’s a good idea to compare Boba Fett to a typical human. He is not the same as a human on Earth, being a “human Swiss Army knife” who has taken down Jedi, the same people who are able to see their opponents moves before they even make them.
Still, I can see where you’re talking from.

Thats pretty neat that you guys addressed that the predators we see on screen are fledglings. Not everyone knows that those "babies" are as deadly as they are. Alpha predators are a different league.
Also the xenomorph kingdom is insane.
Accounts of the Earth War talks about Queen guards. Those xenonorphs are practically unstoppable.
To take it a step further the queens arent even the biggest nor the strongest of the xenomorph matriarchy. After queen is empress and after that its broodmother, but we only see those 2 on the xenomorphs homeworld
They also used Avp E canon where the Xenomorph’s have Ravagers and Carrier variants, arguably the two strongest types of xenos a hive could produce.
Also did not address the fact the males are weaker and smaller compared to the females as well as the females tend to be the better hunters most of the time

It’s weird that the Predator tracks the blood trail, and then just… stabs the tree. Even if he thought Boba was behind the trunk, it doesn’t look like it was even long enough to stab THROUGH the trunk.
Not to mention Arnold tried the same trick and the predator tracked him using the vibrations of his heart. I don't think boba could have climbed the tree without being noticed.

That result makes sense. Half the reasons the "dishonorable" trickster characters lose involve 1) considerably less power, 2) personal arrogance, and/or 3) plot armor. How many times do the good guys win because they "get lucky"? (In its worst form, also known as Deux ex Machina or pulling a good guy win out of the writer/producer's rear end.)
😇😍😍😍😌😌😙😙😙
Using Legends feats means Boba would probably win anyway, but they fudged a lot of details in regards to the Predator. The infrared vision was a major oversight; Predator 2, AvP: Requiem and numerous comics show that the Yautja have more than just infrared sight in their helmets, to the point that a major reason Gary Busey's character gets his ass kicked is because he and his squad wrongly assumed that the City Hunter was restricted to seeing on an infrared spectrum. Their cloaking is also capable of hiding them from the vision sensors of other Yautja, which would be rather relevant in a fight where one of the deciding factors is whether or not Boba can even see who he's engaging with. A good chunk of standard Predator gadgets seem to be missing, and many of the Yautja's physical feats outside of strength appear to have been ignored.
Relativistic speed is also being way too generous for both parties; blaster bolts don't function similarly to beams of light, and neither do the lasers that the Predator dodged. More than that, both parties have shown limitations far below that threshold, and most people will agree that neither of them have consistently shown the ability to fight at near-lightspeed. It seems like the team did this to avoid addressing the fact that the Predators' next-best feats involve bullet-timing and outrunning cars, while Boba has done nothing similar.
Overall, I feel that they got the right answer, but they arrived at said answer using entirely the wrong means. The fight was cool, but the research was pretty lacking.
Meh, Boba survived Vader. That's the answer.
This is the reason why I took a break from watching death battle for like 2ish years. misrepresentation of characters and poor research.

They definitely undercut the predator a little here first the cloaking hides the heat signature as well as the predator and second it had 100s of years of experience there is no way that someone would not have tried to use the fire trick
I don't even think the fire trick was intentional, it just sorta coincidentally happened 'n stuff. Nobody's really gonna think to try it because typically they'd just expect them to see like any other regular person could. That's just my thoughts on it at least.
@@norrecvizharan1177 well I would think like that but it's happened a few times in the movies and you think it would be predictable with how many years of experience the predators have
@@Something_Godzilla Hmmm, probably. Maybe the mask breaking also contributed to the confusion? I doubt it's every year or hunt that they wind up with both broken tech and a scorched battlefield, let alone with a target that's practically hiding inside the flames themselves.
Boba probably saw the Predator with his motion trackers and not heat signature.
also moments before they decided the Pred couldn't see Boba, he was fighting just fine with the fire still raging around them. lol
Boba climbing a tree with one arm and no jetpack in full view of an opponent that can see thermal was ridiculous. Not to mention predator stabbing through the tree instead of just lighting it up with the plasma caster.
Nice animation though.
Not to mention that even they said a yautja will make you fight on it's terms, it would have never sat in the middle of a fire where it would be blind, it would have moved out and forced Boba into a more advantageous position for it
Keep in mind, the animated clips of the fights are just hypothetical scenarios of how the fight would go, and shouldn’t be taken too seriously. They, the folks at Death Battle, run their data to see who would win, then make the clips soley for the sake of entertainment.

Should clarify that Samus most certainly fucked Boba and that's what I mean.
To be fair to the team, it was one of their first. They've establish a lot more rules and efficient research techniques since then.
@@shavagreycastle yeah, but they remade it years later with the same outcome
@@piercelindenberg8156 yes, because Samus would win. Hard. It's just rough because it's not even a skill issue, it's a power issue. Samus's power suit could likely tank a blast from a thermal detonator. Her weaponry includes explosives with just as much punch (if not more) than Boba's anti-vehicle missile, and in much wider variety. They're both very skilled fighters, but out of the suit, too, Samus had a Goku-style higher-gravity training-montage as her life, AND she underwent extensive surgery altering her DNA to make her faster and stronger at base. It's a mismatch for poor Boba Fett. He just gets stomped. I honestly wish we could get more Death Battles that are closer fights. Way too many of them are like... RIDICULOUSLY stacked from the start.
@@piercelindenberg8156 Ah. I didn't know about that. Thanks!
Boba isn’t unfamiliar with creatures like the predator in his universe. Sure the predator is an absolute savage compared to other beings, but there’s tons of animals just like the predator in Star Wars that boba has defeated himself. So boba definitely takes this W.
Yea but at the same time if boba faced a predator like scar he would’ve lost but ofc death battle picks a new blood predator 💀.
Very similar to a Wookie aint it?
@@Nightlizard1564 you mean an elder predator
@@thelonecourier3439 tbh the one they used didn’t even look like an elder
When has he fought somebody exactly like the predator?
Boba didn't even make it bleed and he still killed it.
I found you! I finally found you!
@F Fa Just Some Guy with a Mustache
The most important detail of all.
“If I bleed, I’m killing you.”
He ain’t got time to bleed.
Whether the Predator wins or loses, he better use the disturbing mimic of Billy's laugh for the chilling effect.
If that happens, it would only most likely happen during Predator’s self destruct sequence.
Want some candy
Or Chewbacca
I had just watched a video on another channel with a similar match up, The Mandalorian (Din Djarin) vs Predator, while I would love to see your take on that I believe the outcome would be about the same, but I think you did a better job covering the background of both combatants.
This was an awesome matchup
Yeah
Yup
Op bolta
Very nice
i like it
The whole experience thing feels kinda one sided, Aliens are their preferred prey but predators hunt anything or anyone they see worthy, even other predators in some cases, so the idea they would have no experience or versatility in combat and thinking an old predator has never seen tricks feels kind of out of place. On the other hand i doubt someone that survived a fight against a space wizard would have a problem with anythin a Yautjia, the scaling in both universes is way too different.
We dont know about much of the other species across the Universe the Xenomorph and Predators are inhabitating, so it is difficult to conclude how much experience a Predator would have fighting anything else than Xenomorphs, Predators and Predaliens. Though it would be very far fetched to conclude the only other species they have ever met would be humans with "current technology" levels. Like they said at the end, any of the oldest Predators would very likely have won.
I'm very skeptical to justifying any non force user fighting a force specialist, especially the likes of Vader.
Boba may be a superhuman. But Vader is an enhanced super human with enforced super feats by use of the force.
Plus he can just lift Boba while either stopping his explosives or just block his lasers with his hands.
This is the gripe I have with the continuity. All these "feats" just retcon the entire series.
You'd think space wizards who can move planets and erase entire fleets with a thought would be more respected and remembered than just be called a mad cult in less than a life time.
And of course. If they could do all this, why didn't they in any of the movies or even the TV series? They should be flashing blurs wiping out entire armies if they went by comics and books.
Imagine superman lifting the universe, the next chapter he bleeds from having a car dropped on him and uses both hands to lift it.
@@magnusm4 you don't have to imagine in Smallville. he's lost his powers more ways than can be counted XD
@@magnusm4 there is a slight deviation from what you said though, only a select few were capable of the feats you mention. Anakin and Luke for example were compared to someone capable of moving/splitting planets and suns but their feats were never on par. Even from what's recorded, the most Vader has done is crash a starship by forcing it to the ground
If predators fought other Predators that would be fairly similar to a fight with Boba. On the other Hand the same can be Said about Boba fighting other Bounty hunters and/or Mandalorians. In the end i think the difference is Boba taking down Jedi and giving Vader a run for his money which is more impressive than anything a predator has done
Been wanting to this battle for a long time, thanks.
I think that if Boba faced a much more experienced predator, like one of the elders or just a more experienced predator in general, he would most definitely have lost.
You should know they only I've their favorites opponents they can beat
I hope this doesn't sound ignorant but don't elder predators only come down when one of their own is acting foolish or a human proves themselves worthy or one of their own mcfuckin' dies?
@@swaglevi4315 Yep, the leader will only come under these circumstances, the elders will possibly come in the leaders place. But the AVP Predator we seen was the leader of the whole collective.
In the movies, only one human was shown to be worthy of holding the title Yatja warrior. In the comics, it's the same.
@@brokenbulwark8089 so really, after this fight it's highly likely boba met an elder
@@swaglevi4315 It's a guarantee he met an elder or the actual leader. But one of the two came and another guarantee gave him the title of Yautja warrior. Which is extremely hard to obtain in the society. And only two humans actually got this title, both are women. One actually lives on their homeworld and the other lives on earth(AVP).
Well I do agree on this outcome you should have pit character vs character. Since you used bobafett and not a mandalorian, you should have done the same with predator and picked one of the best named predators from the comics. Just my opinion. But entertaining nonetheless.
True because the best preds would make quick work of boba. Not saying he wouldn’t put up a fight but. This is just some lowly predator
To be fair that would mean they would have to pic one and have to deal with the Fanboys of all the others
You should know by now that DB plays favorites
@@cameronjones9701 man, you dont want to add a Mandalore who clapped the cheeks of Jedi if thats the case.
yes, I love this idea so much
Did someone forget in Predators, it was mentioned Yautja armor hides their heat signature? Not to mention heightened natural senses even without their armor. Really feel like the research focused more on Boba for this one.
Predator 2 also had stated that the government guys only been able to track the Predator via smell, basically.
I mean, doesn't Bobba have a radar or something akin to that built into his helmet/armor? I don't recall the predator having anything to counter that.
Also predators only have thermal vision when they wear their mask. At the climax of the fight, the predator had taken his one off meaning that it only had it's natural infrared sight, which (correct me if I'm wrong) wouldn't be affected by the fire around it
@@da1realkyng296 no it would be look what happened in the predators movie during the final fight he had his helmet off and the fire was effecting his vision but he could also see a heart beat presence
I mean, even Elder Predators only carry the same camo and defences as the Predator from the first movie, who still got jumped and killed by Arnie’s character, so it’s absolutely reasonable that Fett manages to get around that same camo to score a kill. Plus, code of honour means, while the Predator certainly could have sat in camouflage and sniped away at Fett from a distance, it realistically would rather have died fighting him in melee.
14:25. Hearing Boba Fett say that phrase; that, all by itself, made this video worth watching.
No, no it didn't. You're corny
Because that line is from arnold schwarzenegger from the predator movie
If you're using a predator AT THEIR PEAK, then it would have known to test Boba before engaging and would have made a plan. If it saw that it's attacks aren't going through, it would have went for the neck just like Mace Windu did.
The rule of Death Battle is the combatants are fighting each other blind. That's why Batman looses almost all his DBs, they cut off his speciality "Planning and Improvisation". Same thing got applied here
@@m-wan2547 Besides, he wouldn't have gone for the neck because Predator hopes to take the spines with the skull.
@@alexanderrupert4379 thats not true lol they take a trophy not just their spiny lmao it could be his helm blaster or lightsaber
@@m-wan2547 They do that so that characters literally like Batman can't just sit and plan for 10 years before the battle and have all the right gear at the right time. I'd assume the logic maybe for this death battle is the two were hunting the same thing and just happened to run into each other or some other likely scenario
And I guess Boba Fett would just stand there and let it happen.
This by far the most beautiful animation I have ever seen in a Death Battle video. The animators should be very proud!
Popeye vs saitama
Check out Might Guy vs All Might too hahaha
And as another reply has correctly pointed out, Popeye vs Saitama
Really, over Wolverine vs Raiden? Over All Might vs Might Guy? Hulk vs Doomsday? I mean, this episode was great but no need to overhype it.
Why would an elder Predator simply stay near the fire, if you display it as his weakness? If he is an elder Predator with hundreds of years of combat experience, he would know to choose a favorable environment for combat. He could simply move away from it and find a better angle, which would lead to a successful hunt.
Exactly i fee like they used a noob predator
*feel
Also why would it stop attacking when it knows it just knocked him there
the animation is only there for entertainment, you shouldnt base yourself on that, bc its basically impossible to know exactly each and every step the characters would take
At that point, he was already engaged in combat. If it tried to flee, Fett would be able to attack.
Death battle brings what Disney can’t, lore accurate and badass boba fight scene that everyone loves to watch and roots for every second
Strength wise Predator has the advantage, but I think boba fett got this. And while it depends on how experienced the predator is, it has been out smarted multiple times and I think boba has fought opponents with similar built, plus the latter has equipment that can counter the former’s
Yea, Boba fought Chewbacca whilst being silent.(no guns)
idk if a Wookies Strength compares to the Predators, but it's still a good example.
It's going to be the Elder Predator they're doing which has centuries of experience
Well when a single failure means an honorable death I'm pretty sure any predator hands up coming across is going to be highly experienced and well adapted.
It is not just quantity of experience, it is also quality. The Predators are used to taking out dangerous animals and primitive people. The Mandalorians go after high tech soldiers, powerful crime lords and space wizards. TBH while a mid-level Predator could take out almost anyone on Earth in a "fair" fight, I doubt even a high level Predator could take out a moderately high level Jedi.
@@mal35m I mean the Jedi won’t be able to use the force on them since they don’t come from that certain verse of Star Wars but I think most jedi have shown planet level destruction feats
You guys usually don't mess up like this but without their mask Pred doesn't see in heat vision anymore, and they can't be seen with infrared too. Really feel the research was more on Fett than Predator.
I thought that without their mask they saw in infrared and with it they see in thermographic (by default)? It's why the world became less detailed and red in Predator 87 when he took the mask off to fight Arnie - the thermographic was muting the ambient heat.
Doesn't change the outcome
Cope and seathe
I'm glad Boba is getting another death battle since his first was in such a different format and style.
Boba Fett’s whole profession is hunting people & aliens….. ⛓️👽⛓️
He wins all day
Normal people and semi deadly aliens.
Boba hunts Jedi with mountain moving telekinesis.
Boba stomps effortlessly.
@@skeety7883 that’s what I’m saying
14:16 Leave it to someone as clever and bad* as Boba Fett to cauterize his wound with a f*cking _lightsaber_
I love how boba Fett went against Darth Vader yet he never got his arm cut off in that battle against that powerful sith Lord and in this death battle he gets his arm cut off by predator I love it
Darth Vader even tho is a sith he fights with honor most of the time
@@gameuniverse5973 he literally cut his sons hand off
its to keep the DB visually exciting. ;)
@@deka5047 well that was too prove a point too make luke join the dark side also he could have technically done worse
@@gameuniverse5973 worse than killing all his friends taking his hand and attempt to turn his soul to the dark side? Yeah pretty sure Vader gets worse dad of the year
This death battle is definitly one of my favorites, its not all about just beating the crap out of your enemy, strategy is a key part of a battle, and ngl, the part where the Predator got confused by the fire was epic
I feel like someone likely would question how Boba would have been able to figure out the Predator’s blindness in high heat area’s but it’s likely Boba figured it out very early on in the fight. And even if he didn’t he’s smart as hell
@Seamus Pratte
He wouldn’t really have to figure it out perse. Against such an aggressive fighter he’d inevitably use his flamethrower and he wouldn’t have to know why his foe is disoriented to take advantage of it.
Yeah, but an experienced Predator should damned well know of their own massive weakness.
Even the one in the first movie knew Arnold was calling him into a trap, and like they said, that one was supposed to be kind of inexperienced.
It's also said in some of the movies that that sometimes hunt on the hottest days of the year, possibly to handicap themselves.
There's a BIG misinformation in this death battle. Heat vision comes with the helmet. In the latter part of the battle, predator took it off, he should have normal vision lol
Lomhro.
it should also be noted that one of Boba's common rivals is Bossk. A character very similar to the predator in many ways. While a predator is certainly smarter than Bossk the way that they fight is almost identical down to the claws and thermal vision. The only practical difference is that the predator uses cloaking technology that you guys were quick to dismiss as Fett's visor beats it. Considering how often Boba fett defeats Bossk both in and out of canon and how the fights are so much of a joke that Fett doesn't bother killing bossk because he represents so little of a threat I think this fight should have been over much sooner. Considering the variety of super human aliens that fill the star wars galaxy fighting a Yautcha is just a tuesday to Fett.
100% a peak being of any race takes down any Average Predator. However a Clan Leader would definitely be more experienced than most any being at any point in their life. Boba Fett definitely wins against a first time encounter with a common blooded predator. But he would not be able to best a Clan Leader or a second coming .
cap
Cap
I would say cap, but they did mention that even some of the Clan Leaders were killed off by Aliens. Given that this Predator had an arsenal of weapons, that should make him an experienced fighter. I'm sure this one would go both directions, but I think Boba Fett wins more times than the Predator.
@@JBrown1009_1 Not to mention, Fett will fight dirty and a predator has a code on honor.
@@kevinwiding4696 a rogue predator has no code of honor pretty much but this one wasn’t a rogue but clearly had experience
