CAPTAIN FALCON IS A WHAT?!?! Reacting to "Johnny Cage vs Captain Falcon Death Battle" 

fun fact! in f-zero canon the blue falcon is actually an underwhelming machine that has achieved it's fame and record purely due to the skill of the man behind the wheel. but in the meta-game... that's exactly what it is too. A slightly above average machine that is nonetheless considered the best option in the hands of expert players.

Sad thing is this death battle is pretty much the most respect captain falcon has gotten is recent times as far as I'm aware. Seriously, Nintendo, please remember F-Zero exists.

TRIVIA TIME As usual, these are from DB Wiki 1) The connections between Johnny Cage and Captain Falcon are that they both have an iconic punch (the Nut Punch and Falcon Punch, respectively), are both celebrities in some form (Johnny Cage is an actor and Captain Falcon is a racer), and are iconic fighters from a fighting game (Mortal Kombat and Super Smash Bros. respectively). Furthermore, both have access to powers from ancient sources that enhance their abilities: Cage's war cult powers and Falcon's Reactor Might. 2) This is the first Warner VS Nintendo themed Death Battle, with the next one being Goro VS Machamp. 3) This is the seventh Fighting Game VS Non-Fighting Game themed episode, after Haggar VS Zangief, Yoshi VS Riptor, Thor VS Raiden, Pikachu VS Blanka, Guts VS Nightmare, and Hercule Satan VS Dan Hibiki, and with the next two being Black Canary VS Sindel and Goro VS Machamp. 4) This is the third episode that was originally a Community Death Battle after Black Panther VS Batman and Ultron VS Sigma, and with the next 19 being Dragonzord VS Mechagodzilla, Deadpool VS Mask, All Might VS Might Guy, Goro VS Machamp, Obi-Wan Kenobi VS Kakashi, Danny Phantom VS American Dragon Jake Long, She-Ra VS Wonder Woman, Zuko VS Shoto Todoroki, Winter Soldier VS Red Hood, Sanji VS Rock Lee, Iron Fist VS Po, Steven Universe VS Star Butterfly, Macho Man VS Kool-Aid Man, DIO VS Alucard, Korra VS Storm, Madara VS Aizen, Galactus VS Unicron, Mickey VS Bugs, and Wiz VS Boomstick. 5) After this episode was released on RU-vid, it became the #1 trending video on RU-vid for short a time, making it the first Death Battle episode to be on the Trending page, with the next 17 being Ganondorf VS Dracula (which ended up being #2 on the Trending page before taking the #1 spot a few hours later), Mob VS Tatsumaki, All Might VS Might Guy, Gray VS Esdeath, Beerus VS Sailor Galaxia, Zuko VS Shoto Todoroki, Flash VS Sonic, Venom VS Crona, Sabrewulf VS Jon Talbain, Red VS Blue, Sanji VS Rock Lee, Hulk VS Broly, Yoda VS King Mickey, Shadow VS Ryuko, Lex Luthor VS Doctor Doom, Heihachi Mishima VS Geese Howard, and Blake VS Mikasa 6) In the sneak peek of this episode shown in DEATH BATTLE Cast #133, there is a small error where, in the bottom left corner of the camera footage, the clock moves backward, shifting from 12:14 PM to 12:13 PM. This clock is obscured by a white bar in the episode's official release. 7) In Johnny Cage's preview, Wiz was hurt by Boomstick hitting him in the groin, but in the actual episode, the exact opposite happens. 8) In Captain Falcon's preview, the Captain Falcon helmet's logo that Boomstick puts on and in the concluding analysis consists of a beer can with wings instead of a falcon. TRACK The track for the fight is "Falcon Uncaged" by Brandon Yates featuring RichaadEB. It is a fast-paced techno-rock track meant to emulate the futuristic high-speed music of the F-Zero video games. The track's title is a combination of the names of both combatants (Captain Falcon and Johnny Cage). The cover image is a burning falcon right behind a clapperboard. The burning falcon is in the shape of Captain Falcon's symbol while also alluding to the Falcon Punch, while the clapperboard is a reference to Cage's acting career. On the clapperboard, it says "Scene 07 Take 11". The 07 likely refers to the number on Falcon's F-Zero machine, the Blue Falcon, while the 11 likely refers to the latest Mortal Kombat game at the time of the video's release, which was Mortal Kombat 11. MY THOUGHTS (Spoilers for the outcome) Overall a very good fight, the analysis portions are a perfect blend to telling the character's stories while at the same time presenting feats. The fight is excellent, and the best way to describe it would be "Fun". It is a fun fight that is brimming with character and personality with excellent portrayals of the combatants (Johnny especially) The fight starts for completely authentic reasons, and kinda sad that they got into a life or death fight over Captain Falcon misinterpreting what Johnny was saying (yet at the same time not since Mortal Kombat characters are prone to fighting over nonsensical reasons) and really gets going after the fight is taken to the F-Zero track with an AMAZING death which actually used Captain's home game F-Zero rather than JUST his portrayal from Smash Brothers which is awesome.

Mortal Kombat is the definition of “suspension of disbelief”

Captain falcons lines were one of the original memes

Just remember that in the MK universe, all gods range from incompetent to downright pathetic. No matter what a certain matchup would have you believe.

This is BAR NONE, my favorite death battle. It had my choice for winner, the opponent was great, the comedy was freaking hysterical, and everything I wanted to happen happened. Go back and listen to some of the analytical lines. They are SO good. Also love how Boomstick was crying tears of joy from how the fight ended. I wouldn’t want to live in a world where Captain Falcon isn’t punched in the nuts like that. And although hitting him with a car sounds like cheating, the result would’ve been the same without it. It just wrapped up the fight. Besides, Johnny said all’s fair in show business. Also they call it F-Zero because Captain Falcon gives Zero fucks. Captain Falcon is basically if Batman and Speed Racer had a kid. I love the animation of him driving up to Zota, casually throw him a fucking giant bomb, and LEAVING. This one is just freaking outstanding. Also Captain Falcon is one of my best characters in smash.

I love this battle! The analysis was fun to watch for both characters, the animation for the fight was amazing, & the voice acting was good! The only nitpick I had was Johnny’s “so cool” line would’ve been better placed near the end where he loses, showing his respect for Captain Falcon! Overall; 10/10!

I will always find it hilarious that a Fighting game character lost to a Racing character who is more known for being in a crossover fighting game 🤣

Yeah, I got thos right. Once they said Falcon coul summon his car from anywhere I knew he was going to win. Also I can not wait for the next 4 death battles. These next 4 are honestly some of my favorites. At least in the top 10 as of now.

The next two in the playlist (Lobo vs Ghost Rider and Kiryu vs Dragonzord) are some of my favorites, definitely up there with Sephiroth vs Vergil and the more recent Dio vs Alucard for me.

I went with Captain Falcon for this one. I've been on the receiving end of his Falcon Punch way too many times in Smash Bros to know that it would be the deciding factor in this fight.

This was an amazing reaction Duck, so cool. I also wanted to say there is other songs that Hazbin Hotel's singing actors produced. Hazbin Hotel Insane and Heaven 2 Hell. You're really enjoy those. :)

Fun fact: Smash Bros!Captain Falcon and F-Zero!Captain Falcon are almost completely different characters. -Their personalities are polar opposites. Smash Falcon is boisterious and hammy, while F-Zero Falcon is terse and stoic. -Since the games are purely a racing series, Falcon has never displayed any of the techniques displayed in Smash. Likewise, Smash Falcon did not have anything related to F-Zero incorporated in his moveset until Brawl added Final Smashes, and that was 3 games in. --It goes even further: When developing Smash Bros 64, Sakurai originally intended it to use purely original characters with unique movesets, till he and Satoru Iwata decided to make it a Nintendo crossover fighter. Captain Falcon was actually a last-minute addition, using a dummied out moveset from the prototype game. Since Smash absolutely eclipsed F-Zero in terms of popularity, the writers for _F-Zero: GP Legend_ (the anime) decided to retcon in Smash Falcon's moveset, resulting in the iconic Falcon Punch scene you saw. Another thing to note: Smash Falcon shares his voice actor with Vegeta.

Since you're watching the Kuro video, I'd also recommend watching the Death Battle Q&A for that episode and Ben Tennyson VS Hal Jordan - A Redundant Analysis On deviant art

"This was a pretty even match" Also "The falcon punch is 3000x stronger" lol

Man, I had the best comment ever on the soundtrack's video before they disabled the comments. I wrote it as a sports announcer commenting on how these guys interrupted the race, and every other comment expanded on it for other fights. What a great chain, only for it to disappear.

Duck Record 51 W 35 L (W 1 In A Roll) Highest Streak: 5 you were soooo close Me: 17 W 14 L

Put basically: Johnny is hurt by bullets Falcon tanks rpg blasts

If you really are going to watch that guy's debunk video, you should watch the Death Battle Cast that features Liam explaining in great detail why a lot of those arguments don't hold water. Also, I made that Captain Falcon sprite of him getting hit with that move.

Captain Falcon the original one punch man lol

To get you more hyped for the battle, Kaggyfilms will be voicing Edward

15:14 I mean that does look cool if you think about it

I've never personally been a fan of the "only works on elder gods" less so for its implementation and more so for its existence. The green goo energy is a Johnny cage staple so it seems really weird to make it really randomly special out of nowhere. MKX had a fun competitive presence but man is the story super duper trash.

mortal Kombat is arguably the biggest load of bs to try and scale, let alone calculate. seriously, the scaling can go anywhere from basic human to universal, or even multiversal potentially. but yeah, it is a pretty fair result.

WHAT!? THE GUY FROM A RACING GAME WHO HAS HIS FINAL SMASH CALL IN A RACECAR IS A RACECAR DRIVER!? NO WAY!

You know the most ridiculous and powerful character in F-Zero isn’t Falcon in my opinion. It’s Silver Neelsen. Why? The guy is absolutely determined to win a Grand Prix before he dies. He has the record for most Grand Prix runs in history. Oh and he’s 99 years old! Running one of those machines, even without the reactor might bit, is extremely stressful. We’re talking regular, continuous, and multiple breakings of the sound barrier, as well as needing incredible precision and timing, all while these machines are around the weight of a regular car or more. Almost all the human drivers are ripped. Neelsen likely is no exception. Oh, and the game series, and show, are called F-Zero

I recommend not watching the Ben 10 Vs Green Lanturn Debunk becuse of his lack of knowlege of Vs debating and saying really outrageous things like composite Ben 10 Vs Composit Green Lanturn and not including his time as the Spector? And Vs is inherently extremely subjective and the concept of debunks, in general, are really silly in my opinion due to this however I would recommend this video from Nemesis Bloodryche: how instead of doing debunks but does reviews of the episodes without Vs debating getting in the way of the quality of the episode and is a lot of fun to watch I would highly recommend and even doing a video in relation to Death Battles research going over this very topic and you should watch it to have a better understanding of the Vs side of the show LINK: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WsuKYyDxp5E.html (DON"T WATCH UNTILL THE ENDO OF THE NEW SEASON 8!)

Oh my god, two shows that he actually knows! :0 The end is nigh!

I like how he didn't notice one of the movies Cage starred in was Power Rangers.

Alright let's GOOOOOO! 00:30 Eh, his material is... kind of problematic in that a lot of it is just flat out incorrect. Far be it from me to say that my authority is the be all end all of multiverse crossover analysis (in fact I still maintain that these sorts of things are flawed inherently despite really enjoying Death Battle), but that guy's debunking video was itself debunked so I don't think it's a terribly reliable reference. 1:42 Bounty hunters aren't inherently amoral or villainous. The profession is all about catching criminals. Captain Falcon is definitely a heroic figure. 3:36 no kidding. We truly live in the worst timeline. 6:38 literally *everything* about his character screams "was created by men." He's an absolute typical male power fantasy, textbook even. 18:03 Well they did say it in the analysis, stating that it's a special power used against gods. I'm so glad that you're super excited for Aang vs Ed Elric! Full Metal Alchemist is my all time favorite anime/manga, and Avatar TLA is my all time favorite show ever, period. With that in mind this battle had a loooooooot of expection and hype to live up to for me, and it... Ultimately didn't fulfill it. But of course I blame myself mostly, since I had very unreasonable expectations. It's a pretty solid one that I'm sure you'll enjoy a lot. :) I absolutely agree with the outcome of this battle, and in fact it's one of the times when I feel like they incorrectly say "it's a very close/even match" when it... really isn't. Not even remotely. Sure in terms of speed they're pretty even but that's the only metric they're close to. Falcon blows Johnny out of the water in sheer power output and durability, and that isn't even taking into account the Blue Falcon (which yes counts as part of his standard arsenal as they specified that he has the ability to summon it to his side at any time, a detail you missed) or the fact that the Reactor Mite gives him/his car the power of *one sixth of the Big Bang*. When one character's biggest feat is "smashed big diamond" and the other is "one sixth the force of all creation" there really isn't any room for debate. Fun fact, Captain Falcon was my second main for Smash Bros (after Link) from the original Smash game in the 90s all the way up until Smash Ultimate gave us Terry Bogard (who became my main, with Link becoming my secondary main). As for the actual battle itself, I love it. I feel like the sprites themselves could have been cleaner, more crisp, but apart from that I have no real complaints. They made superb use of each character's styles and special moves (I loved Johnny Cage's nut buster hard countering the first attempt at the falcon punch), made a believable (if parody-esque) scenario for the two to fight, and they utilized the setting in a fantastic and epic manner, incorporating the F-Zero track and its speed boosts into the hand to hand combat. I freaking love this one. It's not top 5, maybe not even top 10, but it is very close.

16:34 the alien guy

Man you have some good insane ones coming up Lobo vs Ghost rider and Deadpool vs Mask those are unkillable characters so it makes the fight epic

Awesome Video! I'm glad Captain Falcon won.

I’m surprised you voted for Johnny over Captain Falcon. I thought you would have been gushing over Falcon non-stop because of his speed. Seriously, look up gameplay footage of F-Zero games. It’s like Mario Kart, but they switch out items and power ups for… whatever drug you think fits that insanity.

"I didn't know that!" Yes. Because you talked over them SPECIFICALLY saying it during Johnny's rundown. ............*sigh*................Again...........

Deadpool vs the mask YASSS

My biggest problem with this episode is that they didn't have Cage didn't die to a Falcon punch to the dick. And that's nitpicking. That should tell you that I love this episode.

Oh my god, he knows the characters in the next fight. I'm pretty sure that's a sign of the end times

4:20 Your answer: “BECAUSE FIGHTING GAME PLOT!”

I wanna see Kitana vs Harley Quinn.

Fun fact about Johnny Cage, he was originally supposed to be Jean-Claude Van Damme! The game started out meant to star the actual actor, but when he backed out of it due to talks with another company they turned his character into Johnny as a joke. That's why he does the splits punch, it's a reference to one of JCVD's movies

imagine if Johnny Became the Next Falcon "Faaaaalcon NUT PUNCH"

The name of this banger track is "Falcon Uncaged"

Did you do a reaction series to fmab cus I can't find it

theduckgoesmoo: My hero just passed Full Metal Me: Cringe infinity

"Happy feet. Wombo combo. That ain't Falco. That ain't falc-oh. OH! OOH! OOOOH! OOOH! OOOH! OOOH! WHERE ARE YOU AT?! WHERE ARE YOU AT?! Oooh. Get yo @ss whooped!"

More like a rocket car driver

My boi Johnny Cage lost 😭😭😭 i remembered when the fight started 😔 goddammit it's been awhile since i seen it oh well

1:40 his like the Mandalorian his goes his own way

Is the next one the first battle where you know both characters very well?

RWBY volume 9 got pushed to 2022, yeah though up until now its always been Late Oct-Early Nov

even thouh i was rooting for falcon, he pretty much had an unfair advantage. Yes, johnny would be more complex without falcon's trusty bugatti, but remember that Captain Falcon still has more feats than johnny even without bro's Honda

My vote was for johne at the fist time but love this match

Captain Falcon. Stars in F Zero. A series so awesome but not continued that all hes known for nowadays is being the speed brawler in Smash Bros.

okay how is this fair I dont know a Ton about Cage but I know that Falcon once punched a guy so hard the impact was a shining light and shockwave that could be seen from another Galaxy

I didn't have much investment in this fight but I had a feeling Falcon would win.

scaling of power is difficult, but Captain Falcon holds a serious advantage well past Cage's abilities. johnny didn't really stand a chance

Johnny Cage is based off of Jean-Claude Van Damme

If you were to choose a successor for the mantle of Duckman what abilities would that person need to have & more?

Fun fact: Johnny Cage is heavily based on Jean-Claude Van Damme, nut punch and all.

Mortal Kombat is weird. Sure, there are gods and all, but in the same universe, regular guns can hurt them.

Oh, did you finally get the Ruger 57?

Madara vs Aizen will be the most interesting DB since Goku vs Superman. Alucard vs Dio was interesting as well

Can you please react to nostalgia critic Fant4stic review?

johnny doesnt have a car, captain falcon has a car, he cheated, simple. johnny still wins. this doesn't involve vehicles, or he'd have a bike, and over a dozen cars. he's a billionaire.

Day 158 of asking for game theorists fnaf Nothing to say, relax as it is... well by the time you reply, sunday, but its saturday is this is being written

Honestly ink tanks versus vid is trash ( no joking I can literally debunk his debunk in a few comments and did ) Don't get me wrong I love his analysis vids on the OG series but everything else he's really unreliable

F- MEGA

I'm not really sure the Falcon anime is canon, and they clearly used Falcon's feats from the anime
