Machamp vs Samus Aran: 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.
Samus Aran
“The Hunter” · Metroid · 1986 · 6′3″ (190 cm), 198 lb (90 kg)
Galactic bounty hunter raised by the bird-like Chozo, who wipes out Metroids for a living. Nintendo lists 190 cm and 90 kg; fans still argue whether that includes the Power Suit.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Machamp by TKO. Samus is 30 cm taller, but Machamp is 40 kg heavier and brings twice as many fists as she has. Round one is her jabbing at a belt-wearing wall; in round two, one punch sends her toward the horizon and the referee stops it.
Fair fight? Tie two of Machamp's arms behind his back, so Samus's 30 cm height advantage can finally matter over three rounds instead of just giving him a taller target.
