Versus Video
The Versus Video is an online video-debate on YouTube whereby the host of the video will discuss a hypothetical fight involving some of the better known fictional protagonists from the media of films, television, graphic novels, and video games to decide the likely winner.
Most Versus Videos on YouTube follow a general set of guidelines/rules -- in no particular order -- when discussing any hypothetical fight and will contain some or all of the following criteria:
1.The host of the video -- regardless of their favourite character -- is always fair and unbiased about the fight.
2.The host of the video will discuss all the relevant historical and background information about the opposing protagonists.
3.The host of the video will discuss all the relevant strengths and weaknesses (if any) of the opposing protagonists, and compare and contrast their respective skill sets and power levels.
4.The host of the video will draw a conclusion, based on the evidence, of how the hypothetical fight -- in their opinion -- will end.
5.The host of the video will seek the opinions and comments of the viewers about the fight.

YouTube Versus Video
The YouTube Versus Video is an online video-debate on YouTube whereby the host of the video will discuss a hypothetical fight involving some of the better known fictional protagonists from the media of films, television, graphic novels, and video games to decide the likely winner. The host of the video will aim to present the argument for both opposing protagonists in a fair and impartial manner; this process is achieved by highlighting all the relevant strengths and weaknesses (if any) of the opposing protagonists, as well as all relevant background and historical information relevant to the debate; after all the facts have been addressed, the host will then draw a conclusion as to who -- in their opinion -- would win the hypothetical fight based on all the relevant evidence. The YouTube Versus Video is not a one-way process, and the host will usually invite the (unbiased) opinions of viewers in the comments section of YouTube to discuss the fight. Note: the key difference between this type of video and others on YouTube, is this: other videos, often non-contentious, can BECOME a flame war when some viewers disagree with something or someone they've seen;the YouTube Versus Video is specifically for the purpose of sensible and unbiased comments about the fight being discussed. Furthermore, this video is not The Flame War Forum (theflamewarforum.friendhood.net), a forum that is entirely based around flame wars.

Versus Videos
Versus Videos are a type of online video on the website YouTube in which the host will discuss a hypothetical fight mainly involving fictional protagonists from graphic novels, films and television to determine the winner of the fight.
Versus Videos can be made by anyone, meaning anyone can adopt the mantle of an “expert” and present their opinions as facts to those viewers less aware of the topic; at times, the recurring issue for some viewers concerns the host's KNOWLEDGE of the opposing protagonist’s abilities and histories, rather than who would win the hypothetical battle. Rule of thumb: be careful who you listen to.
There are a general set of unwritten guidelines that YouTubers seem to adhere to, in no set order, when presenting a versus video: (a) the host of the versus video –regardless of their favourite character – should ALWAYS be fair and impartial about the fight; (b) the host of the versus video will discuss ALL the relevant historical and background information about the opposing protagonists; (c) the host of the versus video will discuss ALL the relevant strengths and weaknesses (if there’s any) of the opposing protagonists, and compare and contrast their respective abilities, skills and powers; (d) the host of the versus video will reach a conclusion, based on ALL the evidence, of how the hypothetical fight –in their UNBIASED opinion– will end; (e) the host of the versus video will usually seek the views and opinions of the viewers about the fight.
