as nominated by charmander6000

Arguments for Kuma:
  • he's a giant bear
  • he is capable of going toe to toe with powerful human martial artists
  • he is ferocious and cunning


Arguments for DK:
  • gorillas can hold their own against bears
  • DK might not have martial arts skills, but he has raw strength to counter it
  • if DK shoots Kuma, its gonna hurt


(There are two Kumas in Tekken, take your pick.)

Last topic was the biggest blowout yet, a mismatch in favor of Wesker. Today might be more balanced, in a classic animal fight: ape vs. bear. DK is no normal ape, however, and Kuma (from Tekken) is no normal bear. Who comes out on top in this rumble in the jungle?

Yeah

Im not totally sure how gorilla v. bear would go in real life, but I think a gorilla would win. And DK is a gorilla with a gun and basically dumb human intelligence.

Well ... He *could* win, but I'd make Kuma a 2:1 favorite.

DK for sure. Kuma is strong, but his best feats are against humans that are typically not much higher than peak human. Heihachi is much, much better than Kuma, for instance. Kuma's rival is Paul, who is about as peak human as it gets, but he's still human.

And I say this as a Tekken fanboy.

Didn't Paul casually punch through a brick wall in his Tekken 1 ending? That seems above peak human.

This one has a hammer and DK beat him.

DK > Bear with a hammer > bear with no hammer.

Its just science.

Nah, that's a pretty common "peak human" thing in martial arts media. Obviously such thing is above what a normal human can do, but for fictional humans, it's nothing all that special. It's also pretty much the highest feat it ever shows him do.

EDIT: I should clarify. When I say "peak human," I mean that it's about the peak of what human characters in that universe and similar universes can achieve without seeming supernatural or anything, and thus it means there's also nothing to suggest they'd ever be able to go beyond such limits very far at all. There's a more quantifiable ceiling, there.
