Machamp vs Ryu: who would win in a fist fight?
Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Machamp
“The Superpower Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 5′3″ (160 cm), 287 lb (130 kg)
Fighting-type Pokémon with four muscular arms. Its punches can send an opponent clear over the horizon, but anything delicate gets its arms tangled.
Ryu
“The Wandering Warrior” · Street Fighter · 1987 · 5′9″ (175 cm), 187 lb (85 kg)
Wandering martial artist who lives only for the next fight. Master of the Hadoken, which he has been asked to leave at home tonight.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Machamp by TKO. Ryu is 15 cm taller and lives for the next fight, but Machamp is 45 kg heavier and has four fists to his two. Ryu lands a Shoryuken, then eats a four-arm combination. The referee stops it in round two, and Ryu, delighted, asks for a rematch.
Fair fight? Make Machamp fight with only two arms, and let it keep the champion belt for comfort. Then Ryu's Shoryuken and spinning kicks have a real chance against its extra weight.
