Nintendo's deadliest warrior! Brother FIGHT!

sNess California · May 28, 2009

Ok, so this is a thread about which 2 characters fighting, and discussing which character would overpower the other character in a battle to the Death! It's like Deadliest warrior, but for nintendo. I would like to emphasize that it's a battle to the death! So once they are dead that's it. You CANNOT revive by using any potions,elixirs, fairies etc. This has to be a realistic fight and CANNOT overpower one of the characters, it has to be fair.And what I mean by realistic is that armor CAN break depending on the situation. The following bottom links were the winners of the first week, if you would like to see the winners, please click on the links!

WEEK 1: MARTH vs LINK
WEEK 2: GANONDORF vs IKE
WEEK 3 DK VS DEDEDE
Dk wins!
WEEK 4: Zero Suit Samus vs. Sheik
Zero Suit Samus Wins!

This Week's new matchup is......

THE CLASSIC!

MARIO vs. LUIGI

WHO

IS

DEADLIEST?

REMINDER, please keep this thread organized.Thank you

(a special thanks to JOE! for his help!!!)

Link would shoot or bomb Marth down before he got anywhere close, I should think.

sNess California · May 28, 2009

yeah that's kind of what i thought, but i kind of remembered that if it were more realistic, it would take time for link to setup his arrows and bombs but thank you for the opinion!

Lmfao. The claw shot alone would be enough. That thing grapples by closing, and it's got one tough grip. I'm imagining it going through Marth's flesh.

I sense the start of a fanboy fight..

Or Link could do the sensible thing and be prepared with a bomb in hand and his bow ready.
lol, Marth couldn't win. Even if he managed to deflect the bomb or arrows, his sword would probably be blown out of his hand by the explosion if it doesnt kill him, and then what will he do?

wazgood · May 28, 2009

link is a god**** terrorist irl

So Do I,
so therefor I pick the choice nobody saw coming:

Chuck Norris

jk maybe marth, he could just avoid the bombs and arrows, clawshot is kind of crappy and he can't use his sword while using it so he'd be open for free hits

Either Link wins, or they both die. lolbombsuicide

Since reality is a walkoff stage, Marth can't gimp him, plus Link has nice KO potential he could put tu use...

Ich Bin Awesome · May 28, 2009

Link would still get gimped.

Swordplay · May 28, 2009

Link would win.

He has a Hylian shield and would use it to parry Marths attacks.

Then he would counter and with 1 swing of his mighty blade it would be over.

MajorMoses · May 28, 2009

Link uses Navi.
Marth's ears bleed.
Profit.

10heylistens <--- (I think that's the right way to use it.)

VGSteve · May 28, 2009

How realistic are we talking here? Have we ruled out the option that Marth has reinforcements?

That aside, I think if it was a balls to the wall sword/fencing battle, Marth would win, but with the inclusion of weapons, Link would probably win. We should submit this for the second season of Deadliest Warrior.

Sosuke · May 29, 2009

I really don't think this belongs here. =(

The Phazon Assassin · May 29, 2009

In real life, people can't magically reveal hundreds of items from inside of a tunic. All of your projectile clauses are shut down.

Marth is much quicker, but Link's shield provides him with an excellent defense. One wrong move from Marth and he gets a backful of Master Sword. If Marth fought smart and waited for an opening, then he could win.

I'm not sure who has the longer sword, but reach/spacing could become a factor.

Mic_128 · May 29, 2009

Keep in mind Link probably has 3 fairies in bottles.

True, but it's not impossible to carry a bow and a quiver full of arrows in addition to a sword and shield. Also, We need to identify what circumstances this fight will be in.
Are both in a gladiator ring and know what to expect? (this scenario would mean Link would be prepared to shoot with his bow and arrow)

Or are they both walking in a forest and there is a surprise fight to the death? (this would probably eliminate Link's use of the bow and arrow because he would need to string his bow)

Or is it the same scenario above, but they are hunting the other? (meaning Link has his bow ready for use)

Actually, I'm pretty sure you've got it backwards. I would tip the fight in Link's favor if he had stealth and all of his weapons on his side; given all of Link's available tools, he is much more of a ninja than a swordsman. Why would you even think Marth would know how to handle a forest, anyway? That's totally Link's territory. And if it were in a ring, honestly Marth is agile enough to prevent Link from shooting with a bow and arrow. Honestly, have you ever TRIED to shoot a bow and arrow? It's not like a machine gun or anything, you've gotta seriously pull back HARD on a string for maximum efficiency and wait patiently for your muscles to relax so you can get any accuracy at all. You can't just fire away like a madman. So I would say Link would have the advantage in the forest in a stealth environment, and Marth would have the upper-hand in a controlled situation like a ring... not the other way around.

Then again I dunno, Marth's physical body does appear to be a lot more frail than Link, so that might offset his advantage in a ring. Just um............ trust me on that one.

Epic Win.

3 fairies and a green potion. Link could either activate the Cane of Byrna and be invincible, or put on the Magic Cloak and be invisible. Either way Marth is ****ed, link just has to stay still, aim with his bow and arrow, and the game's over.

He could also release a golden bee to follow and eradicate anyone who comes nearby, including Marth. While Marth is distracted by the painful stings (and the swatting), Link does a surprisebuttstab and Marth is gone from this world. CRITICAL HIT!

The way you talk about it, it sounds like it's easy to dodge an arrow.

I'm fairly confident that Link has enough strength to pull the string all the way back and fire a bulls eye while on horse back. Master marksmen could fire one arrow every 2 seconds. Therefore I think 2-3 seconds per arrow is a reasonable rate of fire for Link. If Marth and Link start at opposite ends of the ring, then Link should be able to get a few shots before Marth gets to him.
anyways, those scenarios were just random examples i thought up of in 3 seconds, so don't limit your thinking to those scenarios.

Kyari · May 29, 2009

Well, that does depend on how far away they are, which is why the specific rules or setting of the "fight" matters a lot. A ring could be as small as like, 50 feet and they start equidistant from the end and the other person on the other side, which would make it very hard for Link to equip his bow and everything before Marth got there.

No it's not easy to dodge an arrow lol, but at point blank range (or close to it) you won't be pulling out your bow before there's a sword in your face, lol.

EDIT:

Also if they were in a ring that required Marth to run a long distance to get to him, that would be a) pointless for most typical fights and b) extremely illogical to even set up, because it's a freebie for the guy that has all kinds of equipment and **** versus a guy that has a sword... like... do sword fighters actually engage in controlled combat against archers from over 500 feet away? No freaking way, lol.

So the circumstances of the fight basically has to be logical, as well as specific. That makes me think that you would somehow have to engender a situation where Marth was going to be forced into a forest for one reason or another, and then Link confronts him.... and well, probably, already have had his way with him by then.

Kitamerby · May 29, 2009

Two words:

BLAST MASK.

LinkSpecialist · May 29, 2009

Don't forget that magic armor that fuels on rupees.

...

And Bombarrows

kirbywizard · May 29, 2009

Marth has stealth and is said to be a fantastic swordsman. He constantly fights many other humans not mindless Goblins. he also is not slowed down by so many weapons and armorer. he can easily avoid links rather bulky attacks.

Link: I would say in real life would be equipped with His shield sword and possibly arrows but I would go grappling hook. Arrows are fun but not when trying to hit a moving target as fast as Marth. I would not go bombs seeing how long they would take to light and not to mention even scoring a hit with them would be hard. Now what we must remember Link usually fights mindless Goblins and Lizards that cant dodge for ****. This time we have a target that actually knows how to dodge and use a sword.

Marth has had more experience fighting sword to sword with HUMAN Targets.

If it was sword to sword skill, I would say Marth would win. NOt to mention Link agility and mobility isn't his greatest key points >_>

Now if it was a full on battle field, we have to think of the lay out of the area. Now if Marth had to approach Link, Link would have the advantage for a while and maybe can score a kill if he can hit a dead spot. BUt when up close he will have little to no time to switch weapons. The shield helps but could just be slowing him down. If it was a s big as a spartan shield then it would be a different story and link would have a better chance up close.

The Phazon Assassin · May 29, 2009

I really like this thread. Such intellectual conversation on such a nonsensical topic. So well-mannered and controlled. This should be a weekly thing, just to see where it goes.

Ok, let's say that Link has most of his main items available for use, but it's Marth that gets the jump on Link.

And, after finishing Majora's Mask today, I must bring up the Fierce Deity Maskm which is ****, reincarnated in mask form.

Good luck with that one, pretty boy.

Wait which link are we using? Twighligh Link, Young Link from MM or Ocarina Of Time Link? It really matter when it comes to this type of topic.

Kyari · May 29, 2009

I'd honestly say that we should either use Soul Calibur 2 Link, and only the weapons he has in that game... which would just be arrows, bombs, boomerangs, and his sword & shield.

Kewkky · May 29, 2009

Link could come into battle with the Cane of Byrna, 2 fairies and 2 blue potions (that's four bottles total dangling from his waist), and the Master Sword.

Start by using Byrna when Marth approaches (making him invincible until he runs out of stamina), and everytime Marth shows an opening, stop the Byrna and strike! Drink a blue potion with one hand while moving the Cane of Byrna with the other so as to keep your stamina at max, if you're still looking on how to approach... If you get stabbed and die, the fairy(ies) will save your life.

OR... Put on the Ruppee armor, and steal a Ruppee Bank (???) before you go vs. Marth... If Link really is as bulky as he seems to be, he'll have no problem overpowering Marth, which means that when Marth strikes Link, he can just catch his sword and pull Marth towards him, revealing two choices for Marth: 1) Let go of the sword, or 2) Attempt to wrestle it out of Link's grip while Link is stabbing you with HIS sword.

Aww, but that takes the fun out of the whole topic... Where's the imagination at now?

Fine... If Link would be as agile as Soul Calibur 2, and Marth as agile as a master swordsman, then a real-live battle between them (both dying with a well-aimed strike respectively) would end up with Link winning (his arrow powers would be amazing).

demonictoonlink · May 29, 2009

Link definitely

:mad: · May 29, 2009

In a fight between two video game characters, only Nintendo wins.

kirbywizard · May 29, 2009

Were going to need some type of guidelines such as
The armor they would both have
The amount of weapons
Area
Size of Area
Other Powers
What type of form

We have to have standards, I mean really Link can only use so many weapons in real life.

hat! · May 29, 2009

haha so true.

In a down and dirty fist fight (no weapons or magic) Link would definitely win.
Marth might put up a fight, but have you seen how much heavy **** Link lugs around all day?
Dude must be ripped.

LinkSpecialist · May 29, 2009

The only thing that would really slow Link down is his sword and shield. Unless he were to of course pull one of his trusted items out, then he'd be having issues. Other than that, nearly off of his equipment is lightly tucked away in that secret magic bag of his. While I do agree battling many goblins doesn't pose much of a challenge. Link is also known for taking on monsters many times his size. He also has to be very smart and cunning (how else would he figure out all those dungeons and their tarps)? He also somehow learns to adapt very quickly, if not nearly instantly given the situation at hand in front of him.

I feel really guilty for not knowing much about Marth's side of the fight. I know very little about him. :/

The fight really depends on how prepared Link is for the fight. If he has his fairies in the bottles and items, he should stand a fighting chance, but if it was a raw sword against shield fight. Marth would seem to have the advantage.

Quick edit: Link has no standards in weaponry. That's why he's chosen by the Gods of Hyrule

Kyari · May 29, 2009

He's got a good body frame, yeah. He's a lot more muscle mass than size though, he's not huge but he's definitely packed.

DivineBlade · May 29, 2009

Well first we must address what you mean by real life. Are you taking about a battle happening right before IRL or do you mean both characters come face to face from their respective universes with all the abilities they possess within that game.

Kewkky · May 29, 2009

If Link would have to dump ALL his items and fight sword and shield alone, he'll win without a doubt.

Why, you ask? Well, all that equipment is quite heavy, I assure you, no wonder he's heavy in Brawl (infinite bombs/boomerangs/arrows tucked away)! If he were to dump all of his equipment except his sword and shield, you'd be amazed at how nimble he is, considering the amount of traveling, climbing, jumping, swimming, hanging on edges, fighting, rolling (etc) he's done with ALL of his armor on!

Like Rock Lee when he removes his weights... Except Link has infinite weights on him and still moves around. So, by this logic, Link would be INFINITELY FAST! Marth wouldn't even see the Primary Lotu--err, I mean, Spin Attack (yeah, that's it!) heading his way...

Kamikaze* · May 29, 2009

Link.

Light arrow.

Pew pew marth is dead.

DivineBlade · May 29, 2009

Another thing, do you mean head to head or duke it out with whatever they got. If head to head duel is the case, Link may not keep up with Marth's speed, precision and unpredictability. Although I'm a LoZ fan through and through, the truth hurts T_T

00000 · May 29, 2009

Marth needs allies to liquidate hordes of demons and legions of the undead--Link does it solo.

bleyva · May 29, 2009

both characters are so immersed in elements of magic/fantasy it becomes rather difficult to imagine what they would be like in real life (blue hair lol).

however, all things considered (ability, knowledge, sexual orientation), i gotta go with link, mainly cause of the shield.

question: is this thread implying that link and marth would be the top IRL fighters? as in, they could take on the likes of captain falcon? (hope not)
