Ryu 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.
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.
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)
Ryu by DQ. Ryu, 25 kg heavier, calmly walks down a dinosaur who keeps flutter-jumping out of range. In round two Yoshi loses patience and ground-pounds, which is a stomp. The referee disqualifies him, and Ryu leaves in the same white gi, still looking for a real fight.
Fair fight? Make the ground-pound legal. Yoshi's best move is a foul here, and he needs it to make up for being 15 cm shorter and 25 kg lighter.
