- The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny by Neil Cicierega is almost 17 years old. A lot of things have happened since Ol' Godzilla walked around Tokyo City like a big playground. What if we replaced every character in the Ultimate Showdown with a newer character?

![Low quality memes i stole from discord but the memes get progressively better [V5]](/img/n.gif)
sans undertale from undertale
exactly what I was thinking
whaaaat no way 😮
yes
first name sans last name undertale
I gotta say it again, i absolutely love how Sans isn't commonly known as Sans the skeleton like in the game but just Sans Undertale (from Undertale) it's a perfect joke that i never got tired of.
Ol' Mongo was walking down the block
Folks of Far, Far Away looking up in shock
When suddenly Robbie Rotten burst from the backdrop
And used his tricks to hit Mongo's gumdrops
Mongo got pissed and began to brawl
When LeBron James showed up and made him snarl
LeBron made a slam dunk in Mongo's eye
When Jake Paul came in to end the guy
And he started beating up LeBron James' face
But they couldn't escape from Robbie Rotten's mace
Before he could make it back to Lazy Town
JFK popped up and began to frown
And pulled a ray gun out from his suit
And blew Robbie away with a pew-pew-pew
But he ran out of lasers and he ran away
Because Clank came to join the fray
This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Mongo took a bite out of Clank's back side
Like Scruff McGruff took a bite out of crime
And then LeBron came back covered in spike holes
But Magnús Scheving flipped in and beat LeBron with a bowl
And Robbie was injured, and trying to keep calm
When JFK came back with a bag of lip balm
But suddenly someone shot his leg and he fell
Nathan Drake's rifle made him feel unwell
Then he saw Mongo sneaking up from behind
And he reached for his pistol which he just couldn't find
'Cause Robbie stole it and he shot and he missed
And Magnús deflected it with his kicks
Then he jumped in the air and did a backflip
While JFK tried to give him the slip
But they fell on Clank and started feeling fear
When they saw a Furby there giving them a lear
This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the ultimate showdown
Angels sang out an immaculate chorus
Down from the heavens descended Matthew Lilard's Shaggy
Who delivered a kick which could destroy souls
Into the crack of Nathan Drake's asshole
Who fell over on the ground, writhing in pain
As Robbie changed into Bruce Wayne
But Shaggy saw through his clever disguise
And he crushed Robbie's head in between his thighs
Then Walter White and his future self Heisenberg
And Better Call Saul's Hector Salamanca
And Kim Jong-Il and Gustavo Rocque
And Sam Puckett and Kat Valentine
Minecraft Steve, Jonesy, Gru, and Megamind
Loki, Saitama, the Gems from Steven Universe
Sans and Papyrus from Undertale
Sheldon, Hikaru, Dr. Doof, and Eric Hansen
All came out of nowhere lightning fast
And they kicked Shaggy in his godly ass
It was the bloodiest battle that the world ever saw
With civilians looking on in total awe
The fight raged on for a century
Many lives were claimed, but eventually
The champion stood, all the rest were moot
Keanu Reeves in John Wick's suit
This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the ultimate showdown
(The ultimate showdown)
This is the ultimate showdown
(The ultimate showdown)
This is the ultimate showdown
Of ultimate destiny
Just the fact that you even tried to make good lyrics out of those names means you deserve more likes
I need someone to make a video with this but it probably won't happen. So internet person reading this, if you have the abilities, please make it
I will be your champion
If @flyingtank isn't doing it now, I'll happily do it.
@@RealPistonHonda I am but im busy with my own cover and I need a new mic
The usage of Walter White was perfect
Cthulhu would work lyrically in place of Godzilla. You could just replace Tokyo with some other city name like:
"Ol' Cthulhu was stompin around
New York City like a big playground"
Cthulhu is also a far older being than Godzilla, so it works from that angle as well. And New York would be a believable location since its in relatively close proximity to Arkham, Massachussets, the setting of The Call of Cthulhu. Like, its such a good fit.
The problem with Cthulhu was that it was created much earlier than Godzilla was, so it wouldn't fit within this particular rule set.
Godzilla still is way more populair that chutulu still.
He is the most famous character from japan and 1 of the most famous characters created.
Ol’ cuthulu was stomping around, r’yleh like a big playground
I thought Gotham was in Northern New Jersey, maybe southeast of Jersey City, if that’s the case, how is Arkham in Massachusetts if Arkham and Gotham are close cities.
@@lindthefelonu.nglobaloccul3286 Arkham, Massachusetts is a fictional city featured in the works of H.P. Lovecraft which is unrelated to the Arkham Asylum of DC Comics.
"im gonna give JFK a raygun" had me rolling
Funny that you have Keanu Reeves at the end when you replaced a Keanu Reeves character for not being modern enough.
Keanu Took his breath away
Not replacing the Blue Meanies with the Minions is some mad copium
If Gustavo has one million fans, I am one of them. If Gustavo has ten fans, I am one of them. If Gustavo has one fan, that is me. If Gustavo has no fans, then I am no longer on Earth. If the world is against Gustavo, I am against the world.
@@Kazmord lol
@@Kazmord based
Or the Noid, as the blue meanies hate music and the noid hates pizza but whatever
@BluBerry3 plus they both wear masks and bunny ears I suppose
Many of these choices made me smile, but I think there should have been at least one Homestuck or FNAF character on the new roster.
I WAS LOOKING ALL OVER THE VIDEO FOR A HOMESTUCK AND COULDNT EVEN FIND ONE! WAS OUR SUFFERING IN THE TUMBLR TRENCHES FOR NOTHING!?
I just realized this video isn't actually about the relatively recent redux of Ultimate Showdown that was a Collab project between a bunch of animators.
@@Deathstorm501 yes, it was for nothing
Or Poppy Playtime
@@PyroTG6 no
I NEEDED this, personally I would’ve said power rangers as TMNT because they fit the same description but other than that PERFECTION!
Lo-Pan, Superman, every single Ninja Turtle
The JFK ray gun bit is so upsettingly good I’m uninstalling youtube
At this point, the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny is now 17 years old
13:18 so what your saying is that Keanu reeves somehow survived the first showdown without anyone knowing and came back for round 2
Tbh I always envisioned it as an alternate universe where the original Ultimate Showdown never happened. But Keanu definitely could pull something like that off
Damn this thing is kinda going ham.
If you like this, consider subbing because I make weird stuff like this pretty often!
Also I am so close to 1k!!!
congratz on 1k
If I knew how to animate I would totally do this
The blue meanie should've been replaced with the grandma from Coco, hates music but changes her mind in the end.
This was really well put together and really funny. The new winner choice is honestly perfect
Luigi would've also been acceptable
This feels like something that was not made out passion, but for memes
I assure you, I am very passionate about memes
I love this roster omfg
The ones that are hard to agree on though are the chess guys, but I may have been living under a rock.
Also I would have replaced the Care Bears with G4 MLP personally
but overall this is sick as hell i hope someone sings this
Mr. Rogers should have been Dainel Tiger, from a follow up to Mr. Rogers called Dainel Tiger's Neighbourhood.
Since many of these characters (like Godzilla and Batman) are still recognizable today, I would only replace characters who are less well known, such as Aaron Carter and Mr. Rogers.
Given how well made and researched this video was for a goofy topic like this I'm genuinely surprised you didn't have more subs. I'm subbing, also congrats on 1k!
finally, a recent upload that doesn't butcher the song
this was also a very well made video
I kind of want to hear what this sounds like as a sequel to Ultimate Showdown.
Not sure what you could all this aside from Ultimate Showdown The Sequel.
The Ultimate Showdown: Electric Boogaloo
The Ultimate Boogaloo (probably might want to be careful with that one due to the political connotations)
i hope someone makes this a real thing
bro we need someone to sing it now
I like how half of these are basically irreplaceable but you still nailed most of them, great vid.
I bet mr rogers is so proud of his student Keanu reeves
He would be 100%
@@Kazmord I really thought you’d do Bob Ross, but Keanu also makes sense
@@frimi8593 I thought he’d do Steve Irwin
@@johncronk8867 also a solid pick
Very good video! Also appreciate the usage of erb lmao
ok so now i need you or someone else to sing this song
@Jared Jams nice
i forgot to add write -^-
Should have replaced "every single power ranger" with "every single Rick & Morty"
I personally would’ve replaced Mister Roger’s with the character that actually replaced him, Daniel Tiger.
Yellow Submarine is like my favorite cartoon and i watched it atleast 5 times
Now we just need Neil to do stop what ever it is he is doing, and create this.
I never knew I even needed this. But thank you.😮
I totally thought mister rogers was gonna be Mr beast, but keanu reeves is fine too.
Just subbed cuz of this video! I also am currently watching your Bean Battles video and am liking it so far!
Honestly Robbie rotten would've worked if it was 2018 or 2019. But batman would still work in 2022 considering all the joker memes.
Yup
“There’s no laws agains-
“STOP. You violated the law!”
“But there- there’s no-“
“You’re goddamn right.”
Imagine if he makes a modern ultimate showdown using this😂
imagine if that's what the video advertised and then it didn't have it
I want Homelander, Walter White, Thanos, Putin, Saul Goodman, Eminem, Spiderman, Ezra Miller, Amber Heard, Patrick Bateman, Andrew Tate, Ishowspeed, Thomas Shelby, Moon Knight, Giga Chad and more in The Ultimate Showdown Part 2
This is gonna be chaotic
I also want Rocky Balboa & John Rambo too
So like all shit from 2020?
In the first minute already I was BEGGING for a mention of Pacific Rim. Thank you
guess what game had a huge boom in january?
chess
Adding logic to the ultimate showdown makes it even more entertaining and hilarious. 😂
Maybe optimus prime could be replaced with V1 from ultrakill, man would flourish in that bloodbath, also can change (switching hands mechanic) and in some meaning is a good guy
RIP Aaron Carter
I did not expect Robbie rotton, i was like “it’s gonna be iron man”
called the care bares with furbies.
An interesting analysis of the song, though I would actually keep some of the characters the same if they're ones that are still as relevant today as they used to be. Instead of Billie Eilish I would have picked Justin Bieber, instead of the furbies replacing care bears I'd go with My Little Pony, I'm thinking to have the black knight be replaced with Toph Bei Fong since there's somehow no Avatar characters in there and that needs to be corrected, Should have had the blue meanie replaced with Blue Diamond of Steven Universe for a more obvious change, for Kirk & Vader a more fitting replacement would be Pikachu & Agumon as those 2 are just as well known for their fandom rivalries today, I don't like the idea of chess players so instead I'm thinking AVGN & Nostalgia Critic should fill that role. As for the final winner, it should instead be SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS IN A BLOOD STAINED STRIPED SWEATER!
SpongeBob is a menace unlike Mr Rogers. I'd pick someone innocent. i guess Keanu was a good pick.
It tokk me way too long to realise there were no Pokemon characters, we absolutely need that duo
i dont know how this got into my recommended but im glad it did. thank you
Now, hear me out. Every version of Goku instead of Power Rangers.
all these choices are perfect
If a version of Ultimate Showdown with the replacements included, I sincerely hope someone else did it.
18 years of ultimate destiny
I was kind of surprised that you did not run into the redux collab when researching for this video, neither noone mentioned it in the comments. But this would be also a great omage to the original, maybe keep some of the originals for similiarity sake.
I know of the redux collab but it is synced to the inferior newer version of the song so I opted not to use it
"No, I will not be taking criticism"
I won't criticize you for claiming Sheldon is the successor to Spock. But I will despise you.
You know what? Fair enough
I dunno about the modern choices, but thanks for explaining the original characters !
Is anybody going to sing this?
I'd be genuinely impressed if anyone managed to make this musically coherent
It's the video I never knew I needed
When I think of characters similar to Godzilla, the first to come to my mind is always Bowser. Think about it; huge, monstrous reptiles who have a breath weapon, are referred to as kings, and have been known to terrorize civilizations.
Speaking of which, by this logic, if we were to have Bowser as Godzilla's successor, this version of the Ultimate Showdown would take place in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Also, Pretty Cure was right there for the Power Rangers. They transform into colorful outfits and there's loads of them.
And furthermore, Miguel and Tulio from The Road to El Dorado could have worked spectacularly as Bill and Ted.
Bro could have done bayverse optimus prime he debuted after the song released
It's still Optimus.
Ya know what I find ironic? The kamen riders (from kamen rider) not only fit as replacements for the power rangers, but they just so happened to be first published in 2005.
My replacement for the power rangers would have been every single castle crasher in which there are 30+
You should have replaced hulk hogan and the rock with Gordon Ramsay and Guy Fieri
Then Walter White and Heisenberg and Hector Salamanca, and Kim Jong Il and Gustavo Rocque and Sam and Cat, Steve, Fortnite Skin, Gru and Megamind, Loki, Saitama, and every gems from Steven Universe, Sans and Papyrus, Sheldon Cooper, Hikaru Nakamura, Dr Doofenshmirtz and Eric Hansen
This gives me the same exact feeling as that Fall Out Boy remake of We Didn't Start the Fire, it's like "Well, someone was gonna do it EVENTUALLY, and it's a cool idea... I just, uh, hoped it'd be made with any effort put into it..."
Keanu being replaced and then coming back anyway is a great decision though, I was really wondering who could be the "more modern" Mr. Rogers and it just works.
Thanks for the comment. This was mostly for laughs - if someone wanted to do it with more seriousness, they'd have to do it by community poll or something similar because the average person probably doesn't have the pop culture knowledge to replace all 30-something characters without pissing someone off. (And my pop culture knowledge is WAY below average lol) I'd be curious to see how a more rigorous version could go though.
“Who today will take up the mantle of mr rogers?”
Me: MR BE-
“Keanu Reeves”
Me: yeah, Keanu Reeves
Well shit. I thought he'd, at least, perform it, at the end.
Most of these characters did not need to be replaced haha
i feel like canonically saitama or the gems from su win, saitama is literally the "one punch man" as is get hit by him once your probably dead, gems from steven universe can fuse to become stronger and theres thousands maybe tens of thousands, they shouldnt all fuse though because the more gems in a fusion the more unstable the fusion, if we count yellows fusion expiriments the cluster solos everyone in both ultimate showdowns combined
i deliberately chose to ignore jasper and lapis, jasper shattered(basically killed) 80 crystal gems on her first day, lapis almost poofed(knocked out) the main 4 crystal gems and drown steven all with a cracked gemstone(when a gems gemstone is cracked theyre weaker usually with a glitchy physical form which can deepen the crack leading to being shattered, the glitchy and unstable physical form can mess with where the body parts of a gem is) she also held back blue diamond(one of the strongest non fused gems) and steven when he basically turned into pink godzilla
I love the idea of this video. But to take things entirely too seriously and treat this as a true remake; I have some disagreements on your replacements.
Godzilla and Batman; I feel that using MONGO from Shrek 2 and Robbie Rotten in their place ironically dates this potential "remake" much more. Both Godzilla and Batman celebrate continuing success and popularity to the point they almost feel timeless. If you're worried either is too dated, you could always use the 2014 American Godzilla and the Batman the Animated Series Batman. Either way, Mongo and Robbie feel like the lesser versions.
Shaq to Lebron works great, both basketball stars and all that. (Funny enough if it was Micheal Jordon originally, the update would be even better since they both were in a Space Jam)
Carter to Jake Paul; Nothing to say, I literally don't know the original so I cannot voice an opinion on the replacement.
Abraham Lincoln being updated to JFK is funny, they're both presidents who died to bullets to the head and both showed up in a strangely resurfacing tv show about their clones or something. Abraham is such an old figure and wild card that replacing him with JFK doesn't really change anything overall.
Using Far Far Away is funny as a way to fit Mongo in, but again. Godzilla is still popular and well known enough that replacing Tokyo could just be one of the cities in the American Godzilla.
Optimus Prime to Clank: I AM NOT GIVING YOU THIS ONE. Clank is NOTHING compared to Prime. You want a good replacement for an alien robot the helps people? THE IRON GIANT. He's right there and far more recognizable than CLANK.
Jackie Chan to Magnus Sheving: I mean, I guess. But I'd probably find an actor who is more well known as an actor than a single character. Good choice just not the one I'd have made.
Indiana Jones to Nathan Drake: It's a good replacement, I hate it to my very bones, but it's fitting and works.
Carebear to Furby: Naturally.
Chuck Norris to Shaggy; Fine enough, but this just brings me back to Godzilla and Batman. Shaggy gets a pass by using a newer incarnation but Godzilla and Batman have to be replaced? Later on you mention that it'd be a crime not to include Sans, and honestly if you want someone known for being stupidly powerful and popular, Sans works here more than Shaggy.
Gandalf to Walter White/Heisenburg: Sure I guess. Doesn't quite give the same vibe but the reason works.
MOnty Python Black Knight to Hector: I guess sure, I can't think of a better replacement.
Benito Mussolini to Kim Jong Il; Much like Lincoln this one is so out of left field that updating him doesn't do much.
Blue Meanie to Gustavo Rocque: Literally never heard of either, but I think a better fit could've been the Minions as much as we despise them.
Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie to Sam and Cat: Who?
Robocop and Terminator to Steve and Fornite Man: I don't know really, my best idea was Alien and Predator which aren't that much more recent than Robocop or Terminator. But Steve and Fortnite just don't feel equivalent to Robocop and Terminator.
Captain Kirk and Darth Vader to Gru and Megamind: Absolutely not. They retain none of the same vibes as Kirk and Vader. Theoretically you could update them to the newest incarnations of Kylo Ren and Jean Luc Picard (Picard is still going with a new Star Trek show so he counts) but while Kirk gets updated fairly well, Kylo doesn't keep up as well. You could possibly use Obi Wan from the prequels or Darth Maul to match Picard. It's really a grab bag for new Star Wars villain to pick; while the new Star Trek has to be Picard.
Lo-Pan to Loki: I don;t know Lo-Pan in the slightest so go off.
Superman to Saitama; Same thing as Godzilla and Batman; Superman's lasting popularity and pop culture appeal vastly overshadow Saitama who, being as nice as possible; is generally only known by people who watch anime and has no major impact on pop culture when compared to m*ther f*cking Superman.
Power Rangers to Gems: Eh...it works but in a way that doesn't feel right. I'd argue a better analogue would be something just as goofy and campy as power rangers; but I just can't come up with a good one. Besides maybe Pokemon.
Bill and Ted to Sans and Papyrus: Absolutely not. You give that spot to Rick and Morty. They're not 100% the same but they fit the mold way better. You want a pair of wacky guys getting on wacky hijinks, Rick and Morty is the far better replacement.
Spock to Sheldon: That punched me in the liver and made me ill in a way I cannot express, because it's fucking golden. Like too good. It physically hurts.
The Rock and Hulk Hogan to Hikaru and Hanson: Definitely NOT the same vibe. I;m not personally sure WHO you could slot in for these two, but chess masters are not it.
Doc Oc to Doof: Equivalent enough for this remake
Mr. Rogers to Keanu: This feels like the strangest but most appropriate replacement. Purely by how nice people find the two. I don't personally think Keanu gets to the same level as Mr "Reads all his fan-mail and responds, Rogers. But purely for the pop culture identity it works.
Overall, I feel like the remake is subpar choice wise. Many of the choices don't carry the same vibe as their predecessors, and some changes don't even need to be done (YES THIS IS GODZILLA AND BATMAN AGAIN!!!) Overall though, a very fun idea.
Yeah, in a serious remake, some of these choices wouldn't really work. However, this is a TH-cam video first and analysis second, so in moments of doubt I went with what I thought was funny rather than the ideal 1:1 replacement. This is also the reason every character gets swapped out. Saying "this one doesn't need changes" wouldn't be very fun.
Regardless, thanks for the deep dive, this might be the longest non-shitpost comment I ever got on a video.
I personally thought somebody who should replace Rogers could have been somebody like Bob Ross or Michael Rosen, two beloved people of their special interests. Like what artist doesn't know Bob Ross and which kid didn't grow up with at least one Michael Rosen book?
I also think for the blue meanie you could have used the angry smurf, he could be seen as a meanie in some perspective (?), And he's blue. Alternatively you could have put megamind here, he started out as a blue meanie but then became, not that, he's imo, the perfect fit for the blue meanie, as he was technically one.
@@BluePuffyy Gustavo is non negotiable
@@Kazmord I hadn't of even heard of him until I watched this video, lol.
Now we only need the full song
Instead of Godzilla I would have gone with the Stay Puft marshmallow man from Ghostbusters.
Pops from Regular Show could've replaced the wrestlers
But imagine a cover but with these charecters
its funny cuz sheldon basically adores spock lmao
I’d be surprised if this did not blow up!
That is an impressive amount of research, for a song that, as you said, will never be made. And that's the main complaint I have I guess, that I won't get to hear a version that builds upon this research.
Also I do wonder whether you set your replacement criteria to be a little strict, too strict in fact that while some are spot on, like JFK and his ray gun from COD for Abe and his AK47, some of them feel weird or off. So like for Optimus Prime you could have used pretty much any Gundam or Gurren Lagann or EVA-01, who ARE in best known for giant robots, as opposed to Rachet and Clank which you say is not.
Either way, this is one hell of explanation for all the characters in the song. You have my thanks.
The power rangers really should have been every fnaf animatronic
10:00 I think Gundam series come pretty close to Power rangers. Cause we have like 5 main characters throughout Universal century alone. And they all pilot similar Mobile suits
How dare you replace the blue meanie with Gustavo rocque when Abuela from Coco would have been oerfecy
Because I love him
Could've used the Shin Godzilla incarnation to replace Godzilla since the lyrics dubs him "Old Godzillia" and Shin means New lol, it'd be such a good subtle joke.
"And in the end the rest saw their better / Keanu Reeves in his John Wick get-up" *chorus*
If we get a remake of ultimate showdown and freddy fazbear is included im going to cry of happines
seeing power rangers him struggle to find a replacement made me immediately think of Bionicle's from Lego.
I am 4:00 minutes in, you just gave JKF a ray gun, then better end with you singing this song.
I would’ve done the lantern corps of the DC Universe in place of the Power Rangers, they have a longer history, a bigger collection of members and had a huge revitalisation/boost in popularity during the 2000’s with the introduction of about 6 new lantern corps, the lyric replacement also feels nice “every single lantern member!”
BRUH, I WAS THINKING ABOUT SAITAMA WHEN YOU CAME TO SUPER MAN, NAH I LOVE THIS
Anyone gonna make the song?
Dude that was most excellent to make Keanu Reeves win man
Keanu reeves is on there twice lmao
A good replacement for all the power rangers could be all the starter pokemon, as there are lots of them, they’re color coded, and pokemon is literally the biggest media franchise in the world.
tbh i thought you were going to change Mr. Rodgers with Mr. bean
Man, you should've replaced Godzilla with Reptar from Rugrats.
Somebody needs to make this an actual song tbh
I love the erb footage
There where so many times I was like, but keanu reeves should be in this spot, but many having him be the final survivor is perfect.
what if instead you replaced every single power ranger with every single Pokémon and you had them fight 1 billions instead 🤔
What about the characters that made cameos in the music video but weren't explicitly named in song? Like Mario and Sonic.
If you were allowed to keep *some* characters in your new version, I’d go with characters who remain relevant with kids today.
Keep: Godzilla, Batman, Abraham Lincoln, Optimus Prime
Replace: Shaq, Aaron Carter
And so on and so on.
i'm going to scream because you didn't put dib membrane from invader zim as a replacement for spock.
