We've talked a LOT about Super Smash Bros over the years but one thing I've always wanted to touch one was Captain Falcon. You know, the guy with the fire punch. It is a killer move and I've always been curious about it. More so, I've wanted to know if you would REALLY punch so hard that you light your fist on fire. How would that WORK? Well Loyal Theorists, today we find out!

Actually, the calculations for igniting leather is misleading... in that it implies that the leather has to catch fire. Granted, air has a higher ignition point, so that doesn't help my case. Another issue is the assumption that his gloves are leather (or only leather). Perhaps there's some kind of cloth layer, or perhaps a flammable coating.

I mean, he asked two different questions in those videos, so I guess they would have different answers?

[@quintondoesstuff6806]

Can you do a theory on the lore behind among us? I know it sounds crazy but hear me out. Have you ever noticed how the crewmates have to do so many rewiring tasks and stuff like that? Seems kinda weird, until you think about it. I think the crewmates are hijacking the ship owned by the parasitic things that shape-shift to blend in. You might be wondering, "why don't the imposters do tasks about hijacking the ship to fit in better, then?". Well, it's because they don't have a reason to. The parasites ship is in perfectly fine working order to provide their own needs. And that's not even putting into consideration that the crewmates have a task in the engines that LITERALLY is meant to redirect the ship. Or the fact that the imposters have remote devices that can control all of the ship, even going as far as to shutting down the REACTOR. The theory has a lot of holes in it that I can't fill in, so I need some professional to continue the job.

Hope this gets on the next theory on this topic Captain Falcon vibrates in his victory screens (for reasons I don’t know) so that could be a source of heat needed to use his fire attacks

[@2yoyoyo1Unplugged]

If the F-Zero anime scene with the awesome music and the epic falcon punch that ends in a galaxy sized explosion isn’t referenced in this video, i’m not just gonna dislike it, i’ma _report it._

“We don’t deserve him.” That’s why Nintendo hasn’t made a new F-Zero game in years.

[@awittypseudonym2520]

You would think that them wanting an e-sport viable game would make them bring back F-Zero. Don't touch the mechanics. Add a few courses. A new impossible campaign. And add online multiplayer.

Funfact about friction and heat: The Concorde went so hot in super sonic cruise, that it expanded by 30cm. The inner cabin floor was mounted on rolls to prevent the passengers from noticing that. Pitot heat where turned off during super sonic cruise and the surface of the Concorde heated up to 120 degrees Celsius. In super sonic cruise, a gap appeared between Flight Engineers panel and the cockpit wall which disappeared as soon as the plane cooled down by leaving super sonic cruise.

[@elitegaming3056]

06:59 should be 60m/s showing on screen instead of 16m/s, was kinda confusing, just pointing that out.

Why are we ignoring the fact that Falcon literally charges his punch before actually punching? That _small_ detail literally tells you that the punch isn't based in physics. Plus, y'know, the whole fire falcon thing. Also his down special, especially in the air, lights up before he even moves quickly. You can even see this in this video, Falcon will drift sideways, light up during that drift, before the downward speed increase. It's in the range of 7:30 to 7:31, frame by frame, Falcon jumps up and sideways, then drifts sideways at the modified apex of the jump when the down special is triggered, twists then lights his fist, drifts for a good amount of frames more before extending his leg and lighting the rest of his body up, which then he finally kicks downwards. There's also a triangular flame front, which would be the analog of the falcon during the punch, that stays in place during the entire kick motion, including the pause of motion during impact, which only slowly dissapates after Falcon is fully on the ground again. So now we can see that Falcon can not only charge an attack, but also sustain a fire even during an entire lack of motion. If we go back to the theory of him having powers because of his belt having the creators of the universe within it, who's to say that other belts don't have some amount of power themselves, or that characters themselves don't have some amount of power. Clearly there's a lot of lore missing from the franchise, so we won't have an answer until that lore exists, but Falcon's flame boils down to a power not based in physics, and we have the lore of _one_ belt to prove that's possible within the franchise, but we don't have the lore to prove that any person or belt has that power, but we can use logic to deduce that something about Falcon grants him that power, either himself or his standard belt.

[@danielm.595]

With that explanation, we can say that the belt that has the power of gods only amplified his own power.

[@derrickdaniels3955]

Game theory: how hard would captain falcon have to punch to heat up his surroundings? Heavenly from TheRussianBadger YT channel: "i'm just saying, if physical energy can be turned into thermal energy, how hard would I have to punch a chicken too cook it?" *Same energy*

[@aceofclubs404]

Same

[@mr.potato2223]

[@MrBern-ex3wq]

That's why it's called the Falcon Punch. Use it on a chicken and you cook it.

[@GunlessSnake]

Enough to blow that chicken up into little tiny bits :P

[@youssef-td2vb]

It wouldn't actually cook the chicken, even if it applies the same heat energy as an oven, a falcon punch would only last a few seconds, unlike the hour ish time it takes to cook a whole chicken. It would just burn and destroy the whole thing. Time makes an ENORMOUS difference.

Since Reactor Mights (the things in the belt) form strong connections with a person, he can still access some of its power even while not wearing the belt. This is confirmed by the fact that he can summon the Blue Falcon for his Final Smash, a power which is granted to a driver by the Reactor Might which powers their vehicle. Still fun to see how fast you need to punch to make a fire tho

[@ehTrotcoD]

Starting at 6:57, there are two errors in the displayed graphics. The initial equation correctly writes it as 3/.05, but the calculator image has 3/0.5. Right after this, you correctly note that the result is 60 m/s, but the graphic on screen says 16 m/s. The miles per hour is the correct conversion for 60 m/s.

[@kravoki]

I personally think that he has pyrokinesis, since one of his taunts and victory animations show him lighting himself on fire. But what do I know, this is the first time I hear Captain Falcon is a bounty hunter and won what's basically an Inifinity Belt.

One small complaint: Your math is off by a factor of 1.5 It takes 2 frames between Frame 1 and Frame 3. Frame 1-3 are static points in time. It takes 1/60 sec from Frame 1 to Frame 2 and another to Frame 3.
