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.
George Washington
“Father of His Country” · United States · 1732–1799 · 6′2″ (188 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)
Commander of the Continental Army and first US President. Towered over most men of the 18th century and was famous for his strength, reportedly able to crack walnuts in his hand.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Machamp by TKO. Washington plants his surveyor's stance and lands a walnut-cracking right, but Machamp answers with four fists at once, a jab, cross, hook and uppercut in the same beat. By round two the general's cocked hat is somewhere over the horizon; his corner throws in the towel.
Fair fight? Ban Machamp's full four-arm combos, let it use only two arms per exchange, evening the fight against Washington's height and surveyor-honed footwork.
