Machamp vs Yoshi: 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.
Yoshi
“T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas” · Nintendo · 1990 · about 5′3″ (160 cm), about 132 lb (60 kg)
Friendly green dinosaur and Mario’s loyal ride since Super Mario World. Swallows enemies whole with a long tongue and turns them into eggs. Nintendo has never published his measurements.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Machamp by DQ. Machamp arrives 70 kg heavier and already wearing a champion-style belt. Yoshi flutter-jumps around like a nervous balloon until he panics and ground-pounds. That's a stomp, which is a foul. The referee disqualifies Yoshi in round two, and Machamp keeps the belt he never took off.
Fair fight? Make ground-pounds legal and limit Machamp to two arms. Then Yoshi's flutter-jump finally gets to matter, and the weight gap is a little less embarrassing.
