Pikachu 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.
Pikachu
“The Mouse Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 1′4″ (40 cm), 13 lb (6 kg)
Electric-type Pokémon and the face of the franchise. Stores electricity in its red cheeks and releases it as lightning. Fighting well below any recognised weight class.
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)
Ryu by TKO. Pikachu's Quick Attack keeps Ryu guessing for a few seconds, but Ryu only has to crouch and land one Shoryuken, an uppercut now thrown at knee height. The referee stops it in round one. Ryu wins by TKO.
Fair fight? Make Ryu fight on his knees, and give Pikachu a small step stool, so they can finally trade punches at the same height.
