[@NidotheKing]

Some people misunderstand this fight. Captain Falcon would have won with or without the Blue Falcon. They just had him use it to style on Johnny since it's such an iconic part of F-Zero.

[@FuryousD]

Yea no I call bullshit on that, ajonny definitely would win in a one on one fight without the blue falcon and would easily stand up to the blue falcon too, probably wouldn't win but still. He would easily win if it wasn't for the blue falcon.

[@KingBeckwood]

​@@FuryousDhow? Captain falcon is stronger and they closed into speed Johnny a better fighter but he didn't have the strength to take out falcon

[@FuryousD]

see that's another problem with Death Battle, u don't need strength to take someone out mate.@@KingBeckwood

[@riastradh]

I like how Bethany went “you’re a racer” all unconvinced after hearing about the actor Johnny Cage ran hands with a god Also a really fun one I’m pretty you didn’t do yet is Goku Black vs Reverse Flash. The battle is really good

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

That is a popular one for sure 😀 but just read another comment that Flash vs Quicksilver ties into the other battle as well 😅

[@riastradh]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 they do reference it twice, yeah

[@coolrod15thecoolest24]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Watch Flash Vs QuickSilver first before watching Goku Black Vs Reverse Flash they spoiled who won in it.

[@AlexThat200]

Most of the time when people react to this particular battle, they call foul about the use of the Blue Falcon car. While it’s understandable, Death Battle has to use everything that the character can use. At least, as much as their research shows.

[@marquisepixley684]

It makes sense he can summon his car he does it alot of times and it's a part of him

[@S_047]

Their bread and butter is triggering the opposing fandom. Not as much fun when the dislike button is hudden

[@SufferingSuccotash]

If a character can summon something at will to attack with why shouldn't they It'd be like if sonic couldn't use an emerald

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

They said in the beginning that he could summon his car. It would be like if someone could summon an animal. If it’s in their power they can use it 🤗

[@CaptainCFalcon]

Not like I even *_NEEDED_* it. The car was honestly just for show, the Falcon Punch was what did him in.

[@QtAsteri]

If you want a more brutal blowout battle, then Homelander vs Omni-man (The Boys vs Invincible, both very bloody shows.) is horrifyingly gory and its quality is amazing!

[@blackdarkness6798]

They said they wanted to see Invincible first

[@QtAsteri]

@@blackdarkness6798 They can, then, I also haven't heard that but hearing that makes me excited for their reaction to it!

[@matador_agil1]

[@YaMamasAss]

This was one of those fights that's just too easy to predict because Johnny Cage just doesn't have ANYTHING that stacks up to Captain Falcon. Captain Falcon is just that guy, he's him

[@geddistopholes6785]

This is definitely one of the truly awesome Death Battles! No surprise Captain Falcon won. You must learn more about him, you will be a fan! And go Ken, you enjoy that winning streak! Bethany is still gonna win, though...😁 Cheers!!!

🥰🥳🤗 Wise choice, Geddy!

captain falcon mantle thing sounds something from the Phantom seires....minus passed down from father to son part

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Haha, yeah the final blow was properly executed 😛😁

[@soniastrumm7054]

I was gonna say Captain Falcon while his own series is not well known nowadays he is very well known from Super Smash Bros.

[@blackdarkness6798]

19:54 the flexing though lol Nice reaction, cant wait for you guys to see more

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

No fun without the flexing 😜🤗

[@JackiW]

Oh! Captain Falcon? If you guys are ever interested in learning more about the videogame universe of "F-Zero" there's a hilarious neat video called "F-Zero GX: All Pilot Movies" that showcases every pilot from the game with short gags and other animations. It's something of a cult classic, since the actual game series hasn't gotten a new game since early 2000s. (Or actually, maybe it will make you learn less and fill you with confused questions instead....) Either way, thanks for all the hard work! Time to bring out the snacks!

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Thanks for the video recommendation. Hope you had some good snacks 😋

[@myrkrormr]

Here ya go: joule /jo͞ol/ Learn to pronounce noun the SI unit of work or energy, equal to the work done by a force of one newton when its point of application moves one meter in the direction of action of the force, equivalent to one 3600th of a watt-hour. so for comparison, it is estimated that the kinetic energy of one bullet is almost 2000 Joules. bullets move very fast and hurt a lot..so 2000 joules is pretty powerful. Johnnyboy here can break that diamond with the force of 49,200,000 Joules, according to their info. So, Johnny's fists are MANY times more powerful than bullets :D

[@Caldera01]

If Bethany ends up winning, I feel like she's far too nice to actually be all that vicious to Ken's costume choice. Ken on the other hand I can absolutely see picking whatever he feels is funny to him for both of them.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😂 this is pretty accurate. But Bethany has a wicked side 😈

[@GirlofCulture]

It seems that a lot of people aren't getting this. F-Zero is not a big seller. This is why the whole idea of a coming up with a unique gimmick is necessary for Nintendo, because they'd need that to be the selling point not simply the IP which other series can simply use. Mario Kart sells on name alone, F-Zero does not. Now I've seen some people point out games like Redout and Fast Racing Neo as examples of success. These are indie games on rather small budgets. People will not accept an F-Zero game made on a similar budget. So Nintendo making a game at that budget would just result in people turning their noses up at it, and if Nintendo spend more on the budget then the amount they make from the game sales will be trivial to non-existent. Not to mention why use resources towards a game with such small returns when you can use those resources on something that will give bigger returns? I'd like to see the series come back, hell there's many long dormant franchises from Nintendo I'd like to see come back. But people really need to accept that the probability of this happening is very small.

[@BJGvideos]

I think people would welcome a low budget F-Zero so long as the gameplay was fun

[@Carnax6969]

I would highly recommend watching the first MK movie, Bethany. In my opinion, it's the greatest video game movie adaptation, it still holds up to this day, and even if you were to judge it as a teen-rated martial art movie, it still is very entertaining. And let's not forget the legendary theme song.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

It’s a movie we fully intend to watch! Appreciate the recommendation for checking it out 😀🤩

[@FuryousD]

​@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 u should watch both the originals and the new one they released a few years ago, plus there's a 2nd one in the making I believe. Also there's a few TV series I think as well although I've not seen them.

[@parmissepehr3021]

for your next reactions I would recommend some naruto death battles since you guys just reacted to the game, sasuke vs hiei, naruto vs ichigo, might guy vs all might, madara vs aizen,

[@totaldramasurvivor9723]

I get where Beth is coming from. I’ve rooted for one fighter over the other countless times in death battle but that was only when I knew only one of the combatants in the fight and I knew both of these characters. So favoritism didn’t overrule my opinion of the results.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😎🤟

[@BJGvideos]

In one of them I marathoned an entire series in preparation but it only made me painfully aware of the utter weaknesses of the key character as opposed to the other one.

18:35 oh sweet that was Shantae the Half Genie girl in her Elefant form. Super funny and cute jumpNrun games. Is a bit difficult, because the funniest moments in Shantae are "in-game" and this is not available anywhere as a video, but maybe you'll enjoy it here, Shantae is a great, crazy little (slightly dumbass) heroine.

[@mrh.p.reaper4936]

Cage actually did learn to use the green boost at will but that's a little too far as it's only a small reference as Cassie can use it too but Falco did have to use his car as he was single handly losing and cage beat a elder God which is way stronger than a God so yeah sheer power cage actually has the w but it can be a little selective

[@Mrryn]

Kinda missed the part where the Cages' green aura is specifically meant to counter gods, which is why Johnny and Cassie could hold their own vs Shinnok. It does not boost their power to god-tier, just helps protect them from and pierce the defenses of divine beings in a magical sense. And even then, Johnny (or even Shinnok, who Johnny scales to, outside of highballing the Raiden explosion feat) doesn't have much in the way of pure feat strength to back him up compared to the feats Captain Falcon actively has displayed.

Fun Fact: Jeet-Kune-Do isn’t as much a martial art but a philosophy. It’s essentially predecessor to MMA but more for street fighting as the basics are moves and techniques borrowed from other martial arts. In fact Bruce Lee is widely considered the father of MMA due to the philosophy of Jeet-Kune-Do. So Mortal Kombat saying Luke Cage mastered Jeet-Kune-Do isn’t necessarily true.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Thanks for sharing that fun fact 😀

[@Rocket1377]

It's true, because it says he did just that. Whether it's a fighting style or a philosopy, Johnny has mastered it. It's obvious that the MK creators were basically saying Johnny Cage uses the same fighting style as Bruce Lee, and is just as good.

[@brotquel1592]

Honestly, this battle was well staged up until the end, but said end is downright stupid: the battle was Johnny vs Falcon, not Johnny vs Falcon AND HIS SUPERCAR! You want to make Falcon win because of his superior stats? Fine! Making Falcon win because his signature vehicle enters the scene is downright dumb... imagin these: -anyone vs any Power Ranger, the Ranger wins by using his zord -anyone vs Darth Vader, Vader wins because he calls an orbital bombardament with the Death Star -anyone vs Megatron, Megatron wins by shooting them with the cannons of the Nemesis. It's dumb! Especially because, while there are characters whose identity and powers are intrinsecally connected to their vehicles/gadgets/armors (Iron-Man, Tron Bonne, D-Va, Dick Dastardly, etc) there are others where said vehicles anf co are just a surplus without which the character can function perfectly on his own, Captain Falcon being one of those characters.

@@mattardis The Batman/Iron-Man debate would not be about "it's an unnecessary extra" or "it's unfair", rather a power level problem. Captain Falcon is linked to his car? Yes! Is it an inherent part of its character without which Captain Falcon could not be considered himself? Not even close.
