Poll: Who would win in a fight? Mario vs. Link

[Neosage]

I agree, except mewtwo wouldn't realistically be able to kill game and watch.

Nobody would be realistically able to kill Game & Watch, he doesn't even exist on the same dimensional plane.

What as mewtwo? I beg to differ.

G&W is 2-Dimensional, Mewtwo is 3D. Clearly they are incompatible

This is the point where I rape your eyes(reading) with Smash Bros tier listing talk.

The problem with resolving this using Smash Bros. is that the characters have to be at least semi-balanced in order for the game itself to work.
Case in point: Mewtwo. Canonically, it shouldn't even be a competition between Mewtwo and everyone else. In Smash Bros., though, matches involving Mewtwo are often one-sided in the wrong bloody direction.
More examples: Pikachu not easily destroying Squirtle, Samus not completely destroying pretty much everyone else, Peach and Zelda standing a chance against Bowser and Ganondorf respectively... doesn't work.

On-topic, I'm going to say Link. Mario might be able to grow huge, shoot fire, deflect projectiles, jump insanely high, but then again Link can also do all of those things (Giant's Mask, Fire Arrows, Mirror Shield, Roc's Cape), and he has a sword, boomerang, bombs, hookshot and various other weapons depending on his game.

What people tend not to look at is the fact that Mario also has star power, a crap load of suits and what not, which Link also has, along with the different magic and such, but in my opinion, Fierce Deity mask is what takes it. I haven't heard that being said once yet, have people here not played Majora's Mask?

We need a bloody Montyoum video going to settle this! It's a shame he's still working on dead fantasy, although I hear the next thing he is going to be making is Link vs Cloud, that'll get the fanboys up in arms.

All Link needs to do is have Roc's cape and the up and down thrust moves from Zelda 2

 

[Fraught]

Green ass? So you have experience at your ass turning to the color of the clothes you're wearing? Nice!

But Link would still own him.
Link can also eat all those 'shrooms, if they're both in the same place/room, and Link has a sword, boomerang, bombs, hookshot and various other weapons.

I didn't mention the Fierce Deity's Mask because I didn't think Link would need it. He's got enough on his side as it stands.

Blashphemy! The real question is Mario vs Sonic, not Mario vs Link.

 

[xXGeckoXx]

Link does both close and far ranges brilliantly and is armed to the bomb which he will stick in mario's shirt leaving mario to wonder when technology allowed fire to come out of a small sphere.

 

[terribleyetfun]

if it was a bare knuckle brawl then maybe Mario but if they had weapons link by a mile I mean Mario would have to jump on top of him to kill him but link moves too fast to be hit with that and if he tries a fireball link could just knock it back with his shield making Mario vulnerable for further sword slashing it would be a fine sight to see them fight each other in a world that is`nt smash bros.

 

[MrGFunk]

I reckon Link would just stuff Mario in a BOTTLE,
*dun nur nur* "You found a plumber".

 

[defcon 1]

1.) Sarcasm doesn't transfer well on the internet.

2.) That was more in response to the several other people who use Smash Bros. as proof that X character kills Y.

...wow seriously?

1: The fact that I didn't bother to actually back up my reasoning or even say who actually would win should be a pretty big hint. We should all know that Smash has to be balanced so actual "stats and behaviors" aren't what they're suppose to be. You should have been able to tell that I'm against people who think smash balance can be expressed in a transitive relationship when I used the phrase "rape your eyes."

2: I was going against them.

Moot thread is moot.

The Mario universe s not compatible with the Link universe, both employing entirely different physics and therefore neither is a clear winner.

Should one enter the others' universe, it may be a different matter.

The effects of the two universes merging are the same as dividing by zero.
Too much awesome in one place.

 

[SimuLord]

Link is heavily armed. Mario just jumps on dudes. If Mario tried to jump on Link, Link would cut him out of the air or shoot him. If Mario tried to use fireballs, Link would deflect them with his shield.

In the mario universe, you aare powerful if you can crush people with your legs.
In the Zelda universe, most kids have a sword before puberty.

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

Link.

He has a sword and a boomerang!! That beats a drugged up Plumber on shrooms who likes to jump on endangered species. And Zelda is hotter than Princess Peach so Link has even got a better looking Girlfriend. He wins every way imaginable.

 

[ihatefullmetalalchemist]

Mario because link is lame

 

[MisterAnarchist]

I voted Mario cause he can throw fireballs. The battle would work something like this:

1) Mario throws fire.
2) Link's clothing catches on fire.
3) ???
4) Profit

And here was I thinking that VS threads usually got locked...
