In ancient Greece, a bout of fists swept the civilians. Soon, rules and regulations were added and thus - Boxing was born

(Craft) And since then, men and women alike trained to be able to beat the shit out of everyone else first! But these two beacons of the craft are defiantly among the best.

(Zach) Little Mac, The Bruiser from Bronx.

(Ender) And Balrog, Street Fighter's own Crazy Buffalo. I'm Ender, their Zach and Craft. And its our job to analyze their Weapons, Armor and Skills to find out who would win: A Death Battle


The Bronx, New York. Make it on the streets, or die trying

(Craft) And among the scrappers looking to get by, there was a scrawny boy with dreams and determination to be number 1. Kinda hard when literally everyone around you stands SEVERAL feet over you! So naturally, no one took him seriously

(Zach) No one, that is, until Doc Louis. Once a heavy weight champion himself, the retired, chocolate loving boxer saw potential in the boy and took him under his wing. He trained him day and night, pushed him past his limits and made him into a boxing machine. Soon, he was ready for the World Video Boxing Association. All he needed was a name

(Ender) To honor his roots, that boy became known the world over as: Little Mac

Little Mac punches the screen

*cue Main Theme - Punch Out Wii

(Craft) And it turns out, WVBA isn't exactly picky when it comes to boxers...or weight classes. Mac was going to have to punch his way through people nearly DOUBLE his own height and weight! What kind of training is going to help that?

(Ender) Simple. What Mac lacks in range or muscle mass, he makes up for in speed and agility.

(Zach) There are 3 main styles of Boxing, and Mac has mastered the style of Swarming. Swarmers like Mac apply pressure to an opponent by constantly getting in close, capitalizing on mistakes, then laying into them with fast combos. And when not on the offensive, they are masters of evasion. Ducking, dodging and weaving their way out of most anything their foe throws their way with fancy footwork, waiting for an opening

(Craft) Which fits Mac to a T! He's mastered the art of the counter punch. In fact, getting a good counter off nets him a shiny little star, like a 1st grader doing a good job on their homework!

(Ender) These aren't just a congratulations, Craft, this is the ultimate move he took from Doc's training: The Star Punch. By finding holes in a foe's defenses, Mac can build up this glowing power, storing up to 3 at a time but he loses them upon getting hit himself. And when he releases it

(Craft) BOOM! A 3 star punch is strong enough to basically knock anyone out cold!

(Zach) The Straight Lunge, Jolt Haymaker, Rising Uppercut and Slip Counter. Mac is never out of options. And it was these skills that let him claw, or rather punch, his way to the top.

(Craft) This guy was swinging well out of his own weight class, and never even flinched! Heavy hitters like Bald Bull, whose tough enough to take a bull ramming into him at top speed! Or even freaking DONKEY KONG!

(Ender) Great Tiger, who could teleport and create clones. Mr. Sandman, who could destroy an entire building in a single punch, and Piston Hondo, who could outrun speeding trains

(Zach) Not just any train. Given the time period, the design and Hondo's Japanese origins this is most likely the MLX01, a Maglev that could reach speeds of 361 Miles Per hour.

(Craft) Damn! And Mac beat ALL of them, even filthy cheaters like Aran Ryan! This guy is so dedicated to boxing, he's willing to battle and WIN a fight even after his arm's been broken! But at some point, cockiness gets to you. After losing 3 matches, Mac was more then willing to retire and he's even gone solo during his career to fight even MORE weirdos. But this is also where he developed his own, signature technique

*ding ding!*

(Ender) The K.O Uppercut. By building up a good enough combo uninterrupted, Mac can manifest his will to win into one powerful blow, strong enough to knock almost anyone to the mat. However, if mac gets hit he losses his charge. Leading to his biggest issue

(Zach) Due to his small frame, any blow that DOES strike him is sure to be painful. And he has canonically lost, leading him to early retirement and turning into...

(Craft) An overweight hasbeen! Ah japan.

(Ender) However, when little mac is in the ring. There are very few who can stand in his way. ...also he can do this

*shows Giga Mac*

(Craft) WHAT THE FUCK!

*Theme of Balrog - Street Fighter V

Born into poverty in the ghettos of the United States, young Balrog only dreamed of one thing.

(Craft) A life of Babes, Alcohol, Leisure, Riches, Opulence and Gambling! Who do you think his parents named him "Balrog"?

(Ender) Thats...not how that works-

(Craft) Until I see a birth certificate, that's what I'm rolling with! And luckily for Balrog, that life would soon find him when discovered that he was REALLY good at punching the snot outta people!

(Zach) That skill ultimately lead him to a professional boxing career, where he would quickly rise through the ranks and become a world heavy weight champion...until the day came where he accidently killed his opponent and was...forced to retire in shame

(Craft) Not like its his fault. LOOK AT THE GUY! His muscles are bigger then his own god damn head! I'm more surprised he didn't kill ALL his opponents

(Ender) Luckily for Balrog, and unluckily for the necks of his opponents, there was one organization who was more then willing to hire a deranged murderer. Infamous Crime Syndicate: Shadaloo.

(Zach) Which was apparently a really good idea. Because in only a few months, Balrog climbed the ranks to be among the most terrifying soldiers in the organization. With a terrifying move set to boot

(Craft) Balrog is a Slugger, a style of boxing that involves simply overpowering your opponent with brutally hard punches. He can close distances with his Dashing Punches, power through foes attacks with his Screw Smash Uppercut, and nearly rip heads off of necks with his Turn Punch, or damaging supers like his hard hitting Gigaton Blow and multi strike Violent Buffalo

(Ender) Powerful he is indeed, but Balrog is not above performing some...less then legal moves in the ring. Like stepping on feet or headbutting

(Craft) Hey whatever works. I for one am not gonna question the guy strong enough to kill an elephant in a single blow! Elephant skulls can withstand forces of up to 10,000 pounds, meaning one punch from Balrog is hitting with over 44 thousand newtons! that's the equivalent of getting rammed by 4 school busses at one!

(Zach) He also survived falling off a cliff 1,272 feet tall. With his weight and that height giving enough time to reach Terminal Velocity, this means Balrog survived a fall worth over 7200 newtons.

(Craft) And he was completly fine! This guy even managed to make Zangief flinch! And this is the guy who can withstand blizzards and routinely tosses around freaking bears! This guy sounds unstoppable!

(Ender) Well...not exactly. As powerful as he is, Balrog's Slugger nature leads to him having far too straight forward an approach. Smarter opponents can, and have, out predict his moves and counter attack him when he's vulnerable

(Zach) That predictability is worsen by the fact he has a very short tempter, and is prone to outburst and fits of rage.

(Craft) While that may be bad for him in strategy, its even worse for the guy he's fighting! You dont mess with the Crazy Buffalo!

"I'll finish you within 10 seconds!"

(Craft) Lets watch 2 guys punch the life out of each other! Literally! ITS TIME FOR A DEATH BAAATTTTLLLEEEE!


Location: Random Gym in the Bronx

"Push it kid! Push it!" Doc louis shouts, spotting the up incoming champ, Little Mac on the bench press "97. 98. 99. Come on kid!"

The door opens as the mad bull, Balrog walks in, causing everyone nearby to scramble away. He looks around and sees Mac

"108. 109. 110! Aight kid take a breather" Doc says as Mac puts the bar back and sighs. Balrog smirks seeing this. As Mac goes to take a drink of water, Balrog pushes past him, hitting him with his shoulder and dropping his bottle

"Outta the way tiny" Balrog smirks. Mac growls and raises his fist only for Doc to hold him back

"Easy mac baby. Don't cause a scene" He says. Mac huffs and walks away

Later, Mac gets off of the treadmill and heads for the weigh section again. He was about to grab the largest dumbbells only for Balrog to grab them before he could "These are too much for a pipsqueak like you" he laughs. Mac growls at him but walks away

Later, Mac is at the punching bag. However he gets shoved to the side by Balrog "Let a REAL man show you how its done" He smirks. Mac shakes in anger and shouts, flying forward with the Straight Lunge, knocking Balrog back. He enters his fighting stance as Balrog chuckles "Alright little man. You wanna play?" Balrog enters his stance "lets play!"

FIGHT!

*cue Fight Back by NEFFEX

Mac rushes Balrog, punching at him rapidly. Each punch merely glances off the larger man's blocking fists as balrog smirks and slams his fist into Mac's cheek, sending him stumbling back. Balrog stomps forward and slams into mac 3 more times before Mac regains his composure and dodges the 4th hit, striking Balrog in the gut, earning mac a star. Balrog tsks and swings flies at mac with a punch, but the younger man uses Slip Counter to bypass the attack and strike balrog in the chin. Balrog wipes his mouth and scowls "Annoyin bastard, stand still!" he says as Mac charges up and swings a star punch at Balrog, who stumbles back and roars, rushing mac with a flurry of strong punches. Mac flies backwards but stands and huffs, holding his fists up. "You should learn" Balrog says as he charges up his Gigaton Blow "When to QUIT!" He says as he swings. Mac charges up a Straight Lunge and flies forward, clashing against the attack and making the gym shake. Mac jumps backwards from the clash and lands a Jolt Haymaker on Balrog's head, stunning the Buffalo briefly and letting the 17 year old hit a fast combo of punches on his gut before knocking him into the air with a Rising Uppercut. Balrog lands and catches Mac's fist before his next attack. Smirking, he leans back and headbutts Mac in the forehead before stomping on his foot and bashing his cheek with a hard punch. Mac stumbles back and pants as Balrog walks forward and punches mac 3 times. Once in the face and twice in the gut, the second of which knocks Mac into the air where Balrog punches him multiple times, never letting him touch the ground. Mac groans before getting off a Slip Counter, dodging a punch and striking Balrog's cheek. Mac lands and punches Balrog twice in the gut, sidestepping the Buffalo's next Dashing Upper, getting behind him and punching his side with 2 quick punches before sidestepping yet again another punch.

"GrrrrRRAAA!" Balrog shouts as he slams the floor, knocking mac off balance. Balrog grabs Mac by his shoulders and headbutts him 3 times "STAND! STILL! YOU!" He shouts between each blow before letting go and hitting Mac with a Turn Punch, knocking the air out of the Bruiser's stomach. Balrog unleashes a Crazy Buffalo attack. Mac glares forward as he manages to side step all 5 hits, sneaking in a punch to the gut and gaining another star. Balrog backhands at Little Mac, but the smaller man ducks and punches again for a second star. He charges up the power in his fist "Oh no you DONT!" Balrog shouts as he grabs Mac's fist and punches his face with his other hand, draining him of his stars. Mac breaks free from his grasp and charges another Straight Lunge as Balrog winds up for a Turn Punch. Balrog hits Mac with the Turn Punch, but Mac powers through and strikes Balrog back. Balrog flies backwards into a weight rack. Mac runs at him low to the ground as Balrog grabs the rack and throws it at Mac, who gasps and stops, dodging the flying weights only for Balrog to get in and hit him with a Gigaton Blow. Mac stumbles backwards and bounces off the wall panting before falling forward. His eyes snap open as he stomps down, stopping his fall and shouting at Balrog. Balrog smirks and puts his fists up "Come over here then for round 2, scrawny!"

Mac rushes at Balrog, who swings a Dashing Straight at him. Mac, however, jumps to the side to dodge and unleashes a Jolt Haymaker before immediately using the Star he gained for a star punch to the face. Balrog takes it before punching Mac in the gut, then again in the face. Mac responds with 2 quick jabs to the gut before the 2 of them clash fists again, sending each other back. Balrog growls and rushes at Mac with 2 punches. Mac dodges both and hits the Buffalo with a Rising Uppercut to knock him on his back. Mac jumps at him with a Jolt Haymaker but the Buffalo rolls out of the way, forcing the teen to strike the ground. Balrog winds back and strikes Mac's arm with a Turn Punch, letting out a loud snapping sound. Mac screams in pain as he holds his arm, which hangs limp by his side.

"Hehehe, say goodnight, tiny!" Balrog shouts as he winds back for another Gigaton Blow. Time seems to move in slow motion as Balrog swings. A fire ignites in Mac's eyes as he side steps the punch and nails Balrog in his face, getting the ding of a star. "W-what!?" Balrog stumbles but before he could Little Mac suddenly unleashes a flurry of single arm punches faster then he could react, gaining stars from this combo and soon, his K.O Meter was full. With the sound of a bell, Mac snaps his broken arm back into place and reels back. A red aura surrounds his fist as 3 stars shine behind him. And, with a mighty shout, Mac swings with all his might and strikes Balrog hard in his chest, the resulting force causing the Buffalo's body to explode in a bloody mass, his arms, legs and head flying off in different directions. Mac huffs and stumbles back before weakly holding his arm up. Victorious.

K.O!


Mac and Doc eat chocolate bars on the curb outside the Gym, as Balrog's head rolls along a treadmill

(Zach) I think i'm gonna be sick...

(Craft) Sick is right...SHOW IT AGAIN!

(Ender) Ahem, Balrog may be a deadly boxer and a monster no one wants to piss off. But Little Mac was far beyond his scope

(Zach) Right, Balrog may be much bigger and agressive then Little Mac. But that is the exact kind of opponent Mac is use to fighting. People larger then him, stronger then him, and those who employ dirty tactics. Meaning he was WELL prepared for Balrog's straight forward rage, which HAS been countered by other fighters in the past

(Craft) Speaking of power, lets touch on that. So, Balrog could kill an elephant in one punch right?

(Ender) Yes. and Mac's Star Punch could knock down Bald Bull, who could tank a bull ramming at him at top speed. Given the fact Bald Bull is from Turkey, this was most likely an Anatolian Black Bull, which can weigh an upwards of 880 pounds and run at speeds of 35 miles per hour. Which means, a single star punch can strike with forces upwards of 6245 newtons. Meaning, a triple star punch's maximum output is 18,735 newtons

(Craft) Damn, that's strong! But not stronger then Balrog's 44,000 newton punch! So point to the big man

(Zach) Unfortunately, power alone was not winning this battle as Little Mac was simply to fast. Being able to dodge Piston Hondo's 360 mph punches puts him way faster then anything Balrog could do. Even if Balrog could sneak in a few heavy hits, it wouldn't do much against Mac's far superior durability

(Craft) Balrog could tank a fall of 7200 newtons, but Mac could tank hits from DONKEY KONG! The same Donkey Kong who punched the moon out of orbit! That's 3000 megatons. Which is the equivalent of over TWELVE QUINTILLION NEWTONS OF FORCE

(Ender) Now, obviously Donkey Kong wasn't hitting with ALL this force every time he landed a blow. But even if we assume he was only using 1% of that force, hell even if we assume he was using LESS then 1%, it still puts Mac far beyond anything Balrog has ever done

(Craft) "But wait! What about the boxer triangle! Shouldn't Balrog have been better then Mac?"

(Zach) Ah yes, the Boxing Triangle theory. Swarmers beat Outboxers, Outboxers beat Sluggers, Sluggers beat Swarmers. While the theory does hold some water, it hardly made a difference with speed and durability this far apart. Not to mention, Little mac has fought plenty of boxers with a Slugger style and still came out on top

(Craft) Balrog just got Punched Out

(Ender) The winner is Little Mac

Results:

Little Mac:
+Faster
+Tougher
+Has delt with boxers like Balrog before
-Weaker
-Swarmers struggle against Sluggers

Balrog:
+Sluggers excel against Swarmers
+Stronger
-Slower
-Less durable
-Couldn't do anything Mac hasn't already seen
-Has been countered before
