US general whose Third Army tore across France in 1944. Competed in the first Olympic modern pentathlon in 1912, finishing fifth, and designed the US Army’s last cavalry sword.
Zangief
“The Red Cyclone” · Street Fighter · 1991 · 7′0″ (213 cm), 256 lb (116 kg)
Russian pro wrestler who trains by wrestling bears in the Siberian snow. Loves his country, his muscles and the Spinning Piledriver.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Patton by DQ. Patton, a 1912 pentathlete, spends round one dodging a man 25 cm taller. In round two Zangief, who wrestles bears and never learned polite hands, grabs him and hoists him upside-down. The referee disqualifies him; Patton wins by DQ and remembers a past life where it went worse.
Fair fight? Make Zangief fight in oven mitts so he can't grab anything. He'd have to punch and dance, and Patton would finally face a fair, if 32 kg heavier, opponent.
