Pikachu vs Joseph Stalin: 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.
Joseph Stalin
“Uncle Joe” · Georgia / Soviet Union · 1878–1953 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 165 lb (75 kg)
Dictator of the Soviet Union from the 1920s until 1953. Led the USSR to victory over Nazi Germany while his purges, famines and labour camps killed millions. His left arm was stiff and shortened from childhood.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Pikachu by DQ. Stalin can barely find Pikachu's head, and with his stiff left arm he's basically stooping and swinging one fist at a 40 cm target. Pikachu keeps zipping away with Quick Attack speed. In round two the old bank-robbery man stomps, and the referee disqualifies him.
Fair fight? Make Stalin fight on his knees so his punches start at Pikachu's height, and put a 6 kg weight limit on his stomping foot, meaning the foot stays in a locker.
