It's an epic battle in which you get to choose the winner.

A new YouTube video pits Mortal Kombat's Scorpion against Street Fighter's Ryu in a no-holds-barred fight. Since being posted on Tuesday, it has gained almost 20,000 views.

Created by Start, an entertainment channel for gamers, the interactive video begins with martial artist Ryu practicing punches on a tree, when he is approached by Scorpion.

The undead ninja initiates the brawl, yelling, "Get over here!" before unleashing his chained kunai on Ryu.

Emulating the one-on-one style of both classic fighting games, Scorpion and Ryu put on an impressive display of martial-arts fighting that bring the characters from Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter to life.

During the nearly three-and-a-half-minute-long video, viewers see Scorpion teleport, and Ryu perform hadouken, his special attack.

Ultimately, there must be a winner — but exactly who depends entirely on you. At the end of the video, viewers have the option of voting for either Scorpion or Ryu. Each selection links to a video: one of Scorpion winning (currently close to 9,400 views) and one of Ryu winning (just over 8,800 views).

The video throwdown is part of Start's "Ultimate Fan Fights" series, which previously released a Batman vs. Captain America edition. New episodes air each month, according to Start's YouTube page.
