Wiz: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another episode of Death Battle. Today's combatants will be the Special Infected from Left 4 Dead - the toughest zombies you'll ever encounter. Boomstick: Right you are, Wiz. These infected creatures are nasty, unpredictable, and deadly. So, let's get started and introduce the fighters. Wiz: On the left corner, we have the Left 4 Dead 1 Special Infected, including The Smoker, The Boomer, The Hunter, The Tank, and The Witch. These infected are well-known for their devastating abilities and quick movements. Boomstick: And on the right corner, we have the Left 4 Dead 2 Special Infected, including The Jockey, The Spitter, The Charger, and The Boomer. These infected can control, spit, ram, and vomit their way out of danger. Wiz: Both sides have unique abilities, which make them quite difficult to defeat. But for the purposes of this battle, we'll consider only one at a time. So, let's get started. Boomstick: The first matchup will be The Smoker from L4D1 versus The Spitter from L4D2. Who's your bet on Wiz? Wiz: Well, The Smoker has a long tongue that can grab victims and pull them close, making them vulnerable to attacks from his allies. The smoker also has a tough hide, making it hard to kill him. However, The Spitter can spit acid that can inflict long-term damage and can create pools of acid that can cause a lot of damage. Boomstick: That's right, Wiz. The Spitter can melt through solid surfaces and cause a lot of damage. Plus, the acid's effect can last for a long time, making it difficult for the victim to escape. Wiz: It looks like The Spitter's acid is giving The Smoker a tough time. The Smoker's tongue can't reach The Spitter because The Spitter can stay well outside the range. That gives The Spitter enough distance to pour acid on The Smoker. Boomstick: But don't count The Smoker out just yet, Wiz. He's pulling out all the stops to bring The Spitter within range. His hidden ability is the ability to reach out and grab his opponent with incredible speed when in close proximity. Wiz: That's true, Boomstick. But The Spitter can turn and run away quickly from The Smoker's grasp. In this case, distance is The Spitter's best defense. Boomstick: But wait a minute, Wiz. The terrain here is perfect for The Smoker's advantage. There are plenty of corners and obstacles to hide behind, which will allow The Smoker to wait for The Spitter to come to him. Wiz: That's a good point, Boomstick. The Smoker can hide behind pillars and walls to stay out of sight, and as soon as The Spitter comes close, he can use his long tongue to grab him and pull him in. Boomstick: Which brings us to the ultimate question, Wiz. Who's going to win this one? Wiz: It's a close call, but The Smoker has the upper hand in this matchup. The combination of his long tongue and his ability to hide and wait for the opportunity to strike makes him a formidable foe against The Spitter. Boomstick: Brutal. The Spitter never had a chance. Let's move on to the next matchup. Wiz: The next matchup is The Boomer from L4D1 versus The Jockey from L4D2. Which side are you leaning towards, Boomstick? Boomstick: Well, The Boomer can hurl vile bile that can cause blindness and attract other infected. Plus, when The Boomer explodes, he can hurt anyone nearby. But The Jockey can control the movements of his victim with the use of his weapons and ride him around like a pony. Wiz: That's true, Boomstick. The Jockey can take control of his opponent and use him as a shield or bring him to where he wants him. The victim is at the mercy of The Jockey once he's been ridden. Boomstick: It looks like The Jockey is jumping onto The Boomer's head! This is an epic fight, Wiz. Wiz: Yes, it is, Boomstick. The Boomer is covered in bile, making it hard for The Jockey to hold on. But The Jockey's strength is his ability to control his victim, and once he's in control, he's hard to resist. Boomstick: But wait a minute, Wiz! The Boomer is going to explode, and The Jockey is still on top of him! Could this be the end for The Jockey? Wiz: It's a risky move, Boomstick. The Boomer can sense when he's about to explode, and he can self-detonate. But if he does it while The Jockey is still on him, it could spell doom for both combatants. Boomstick: And that's exactly what happened, Wiz. The Boomer explodes, and The Jockey is caught in the blast. That's one epic and bloody finish. Wiz: It looks like both combatants have fallen in this fight, Boomstick. No one came out on top, but that's the nature of combat. Let's move on to the next matchup. Boomstick: The third matchup is The Charger from L4D2 versus The Hunter from L4D1. This one's going to be tough, Wiz. Wiz: You're right, Boomstick. Both fighters are known for their speed and agility. The Charger can ram his opponent with incredible force, while The Hunter can pounce and pin his opponent to the ground. Boomstick: It looks like The Hunter is going to get a head start here, Wiz. He's fast, and he's agile. There's no telling where he's hiding. Wiz: That's true, Boomstick. The Hunter is known for his stealth moves, and he can climb walls and ceilings with ease. But The Charger has brute strength. He can charge his opponent with incredible force, and when he hits, he can stun his opponent. Boomstick: The Hunter is on the lookout for The Charger, but he can't find him. Suddenly, The Charger appears from nowhere and charges The Hunter. He's ramming him with all his might, but The Hunter won't go down that easily, Wiz. Wiz: That's true, Boomstick. The Hunter is clinging to The Charger for dear life. He's got The Charger in a headlock, and he's not letting go. Boomstick: Uh, oh! The Hunter has revealed his hidden ability, Wiz. He's using his sharp claws to slash The Charger's face, making him lose focus. The Charger is vulnerable, and The Hunter takes his chance. Wiz: The Hunter jumps back, and with incredible force, he pounces on The Charger's back. He's digging his claws into The Charger's back, making him scream in pain. The end is near for The Charger. Boomstick: And just like that, The Hunter snaps The Charger's neck with one swift move. There's no coming back from that, Wiz. Wiz: You brutal and violent end to this fight. The Hunter is victorious. Boomstick: What a wild ride. The next matchup will be The Tank from L4D1 versus The Witch from L4D1. It's a battle of the giants, Wiz. Wiz: Absolutely, Boomstick. The Tank is a brute force of nature, with incredible strength and incomparable defenses. The Witch is deadly and is known for her piercing screams that can immobilize her opponents. Boomstick: This is going to be quite the showdown. But it looks like The Tank is taking an early start. He's charging towards The Witch, ready to punch her with his massive fists. Wiz: The Witch is screaming, but it's not having any effect on The Tank. He's a juggernaut. Nothing can stop him. But wait, The Witch can defend herself too. Boomstick: That's right, Wiz. The Witch has a few tricks up her sleeve. Even though she's not moving much, she's still a formidable opponent. Her sharp claws can inflict incredible damage. And her piercing screams are capable of immobilizing her opponents. Wiz: It looks like The Tank has underestimated The Witch. He's charging towards her, but he's not paying attention to her claws. And just like that, The Witch slashes at The Tank's side, causing him to scream in agony. Boomstick: But The Tank won't go down that easily. He's recoiled from the slash but is now squaring up on The Witch. He's raising his fists and is ready to strike. Can she evade him? Wiz: It looks like The Witch is going to try. She's dashing around The Tank, trying to avoid being hit. But The Tank's fists are too massive, and he's finally hit his target. The Witch tumbles to the ground and gets up again. Boomstick: But she's not giving up, Wiz. The Witch has gotten back in the game and is screaming at The Tank. Can she immobilize him this time? Wiz: It looks like it's working, Boomstick. The Tank is slowing down, and his punches aren't as precise as before. The Witch's immobilizing power is affecting The Tank. Boomstick: But wait a minute, Wiz. The Tank is gathering strength, and just when we thought The Witch had the upper hand, he unleashes his most massive attack yet. His FIST… OF… DOOM! Wiz: And just like that, Boomstick, The Witch is obliterated. It's a brutal hit. No one could have survived that, let alone The Witch. Boomstick: What a battle, Wiz. The Tank proves once again why he's the toughest undead creature you could face. But that's all the time we have today, folks. See you next time on Death Battle.
