Jon vs Sabrewulff by Arachnid-le-Spider

Scorpio: Hey Arachnid quick question, what's the scariest creature you can think of?

Arachnid: What, like Zombies, Vampires, Deities, Sea Monsters-

Scorpio: Nope! Werewolves. Just Werewolves... that and Vampires, but beside that, Werewolves.

Arachnid: ..Indeed, Werewolves are known as creatures of the night, beasts who feed on human flesh leaving society to cower beneath their very howl known for being the true beasts that roam underneath the moonlight, although once human some of these mythological beings give up their sanity to feed the inner wolf inside.

Scorpio: But these two beasts of legend strive to regaining their lost humanity by beating the everlasting shit out of you, if it goes to any extreme they'll try their best to turn back into what they originally were, Like Jon Talbain, The Werewolf Warrior of Darkstalkers.

Arachnid: And Sabrewulf, The Mad Wolf of Killer Instinct.

Scorpio: He's Arachnid and I'm Scorpio!

Arachnid: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win, A Death Battle!

Will this Darkstalker outwolf the brute or will Sabrewulf maul this challenger with a Killer Instinct?!?

Credit to :iconmadnessabe: for letting me have this match, really means a lot man.
Credit also to :iconyellowflash1234: for the Jon Talbain bio.
One one note, I'm really surprised this match hasn't been done sooner.
Let's see what I can bring to the table with this wolf-sized match, shall we?

Sabrewulf, Killer Instinct (C) Rareware, Microsoft, Iron Galaxy

I honestly think Beast from X-Men would be interesting as an opponent for Sabrewulf.
