Monster dogfights

[sundar]

I know this has been done so many times but I thought it would be fun to do an analysis of all monster fights from Doom 1 and 2. Post all your monster dogfight situations here.
Here are the results of a series of matches I set up between a Mancubus and a Baron of Hell.

You wonder how imps can fight each others? Barrels…

lol. That made me laugh so much that tears came came out of my eyes. But there are a few questions I'd like to ask.

I know it's possible to make them fight each other but their projectiles DO NOT hurt them at all. THEY CAN ONLY HURT THEMSELVES BY SCRATCHING.

So if they're at mid range or far, how is scratching possible?

Doesn't the injured imp always lose?

Or:

• use a deh with Monsters Infight = 221
  
• use Doom 1.2

If one of them is in the void, it could telescratch.
