I'm sorry WW, but given those heels... Sailor Moon kicked ur'anus!

And yet they have the nerve to say a female led super hero movie wouldn't be a blockbuster.

I'm just going to sit here and bask for a moment in the fact that Comics Alliance is still going.

Also... it's kind of cool that the cutting edge of dancing today includes falling on your ass repeatedly.

I would personally offer extra points for including an ultra-realistic seizure, too.

Sailor Moon was wearing knee pads, just sayin'

Yeah, if you're going to include death drops, you'd better make them look like they HURT.

Having attended anime conventions all over the USA for going on twenty years now, all I have to say is...woah check it out Sailor Moon isn't being played by a guy! (not that there's anything wrong with genderbent cosplay, it's awesome)

Also, yeah, those drops look pretty uncomfortable. I'm not sure I've ever seen this style of dance before?

Sailor Moon's backbend-to-pussy-pat move is everything that Rihanna's lazy "Birthday Cake" performance on SNL should've been... but damn, ladies. WERQ!

Benny Ninja's style keeps on biting deeper into the collective consciousness, and I'm glad to see this crossover battle style happening.

I've now fallen down a youtube hole of watching all of these videos. These may be the coolest people I've ever seen. Thanks, Artw!

I thought Sailor Moon had superior hand-motion skills, but was not as good an athlete as Wonder Woman- I mean she was visibly tired after the first round, that's not good. I wondered the whole time whether it would be judged on style or endurance, and honestly I would have guessed style. But I am not a voguing expert, so

Thought this would be a Salty Bet fight.

Sad this isn't a Salty Bet fight.

I found myself wondering that as well and had to remind myself, you know what? Doesn't matter.
