Aw man, Vsauce3 just gave this video a shout-out. Honored! This video is way old though, our editing and presentation style has improved a lot since I made this. I promise! 😅
Theres a little lighter that when it is going fast enough blows on a spark made from going so fast, its creates a huge flame bird and the bird breathes on the enemy scorching them to death and flinging them out of the atmosphere to mars where the enemy is tortured by martians and then flung back to earth into the atmosphere making the enemy go faster and to be lit on fire again, smashing back into earth as its face is being slammed into the ground at rates of a lot of miles per hour making it be crushed into a small molecule and creating a black hole, sucking all of the milky way galaxy into it and it keeps growing and growing then swallows the whole urniverse. that is how earth will end.
I have to point out that Captain Falcon in the smash bros series very clearly has some sort of ignition type POWERS, not just super human speed to allow for it. If you look at his taunts, he literally has one (in brawl onwards) where he lights up his entire body aflame saying "yessss" in a whisper fashion. So it's pretty clear he has some type of fire powers in play. Because he still has the Falcon Kick to explain which stays alight as long as he's moving, the falcon punches flame shape makes no sense, and he has the raptor boost which is a non-powerful uppercut with fire. Not to mention when he grabs you after the up-B move, you get an explosion when he lets go. Not to mention he has the knee of justice, which causes electric shocks. So this whole theory kinda gets hamfisted if you assume for even a moment (as the smash games actually seem to indicate) he just has some type of "ignition" power. Still a good video if that isn't the case.
RPGgrenade I was going to say the exact same thing, it's clear this is not based off of physics but some type of magic or power. His hand isn't going so fast that it is literally on fire he just has the ability to control fire to some extent.
Actually, you can't tell anything about Captain Falcons powers, maybe he just is vibrating himself to make his atoms aflame. Look his powers don't have an origin, so assuming anything about this man especially some secret powers we have never heard of doesn't make sense. But it is fun to guess though, just sayin we can't be sure about anything.
You also have to understand the Falcon Punch was taken from the F-Zero Anime that existed before Smash Bros' was made. As F-Zero is a racing game, and SSB is a fighting Game, they needed a move set for him, which the Racing Game doesn't actually provide. Thus they went to the anime, and the Falcon Punch was incorporated in SSB. Btw, The Falcon Punch used in the final episode of the F-Zero Anime, was on beyond Super Nova Level Power. They actually cut from the punch to a view of the spiral Galazy F-Zero takes place in, and we see a pillar of red light erupt from one of the arms of the spiral going in both directions. The explosion caused by that Falcon Punch could be seen from outside the damn galaxy.
David Parisi Super Smash Bros. Released 1999. F-Zero: GP Legend (Anime) began 2003. Unless Nintendo have a Time Machine I don't think your explanation works out. Captain Falcon was given the moveset of one of the characters in what Smash Bros. was originally going to be (Kakuto-Geemu Ryuoh) from what I've heard.
Afonso Teixeira The following is mostly assumption and is based on some facts I pieced together off google, so I'd understand if people who know better correct me. Firstly, the collision would create a blast radius of 300m (the explosion radius of the FOAB, as both fists would be exploding from the same point of collision), and there would be a supersonic boom and, in essence, both participants would be incinerated, seeing as they would be in the epicentre of the explosion. Since the ordeal would be over in around a second, the instant of the explosion were slowed down enough to analyse each instant of bodily damage that would occur, the bones in the hands and forearms of both combatants would practically become powder (since most bones break at around 4500 psi) and the force would most likely tear the punching arms off both of them instantly since the force would be focused more towards the arm of the opposite person. The sonic boom created would ignite the skin of both combatants, boil their blood to the point of being supercritical (having properties of both a liquid and a gas), and basically strip the flesh of their skeletons, break every bone in their body, and send the remaining scraps of human flying in the opposite direction.
Ganondorf's punch is ignited by evil magic so this doesn't apply. (Furthermore, CF probably uses some kind of lighter to ignite his fist before punching)
Yeah, post comment I had him use the move and we see it ignite before he even punches them. Although I still think his punch contains more power (near instant ko with even 30% on some stages)
Batman376 I'd love to, but I doubt he'd ever bother until I reach at least 250k subs. If I ever do that is. But it's a dream I would be enthralled to fulfill!
It would be alot harder to measure it as Kirby doesn't wear the gloves(Which means you would have to make an assumption about what Kirby's skin is made out of) when he does it and the fact that Kirby is smaller than Falcon would mean the distance would be less.
DManCAWMaster However, Kirby's Falcon Punch would basically be the same, due to his ability to flawlessly copy any ability he has absorbed. The point you make about his skin, while valid, can be debated, since Kirby can change his density and material, i.e., turning into a rock. Basically, the only difference would be Kirby's weight, mass and speed vs Captain Falcon's. To give the exact same result, which Kirby does, Kirby would have to go many times faster then Captain Falcon, assuming that Kirby changed his hand to a leather-like material.
the only (enormous) flaw here is you assumed the fire was from speed alone. for all we know his glove could have some cool futuristic tech that produces a plasma flame in the shape of a bird using, well, for simplicity sake, lets say a mist of butane suddenly sparked by flint or a small electric arc in the glove. hell, for all we know the firebird could just be a hologram projected by his helmet! you should be calculating the force of the punch based on animation frames being 1/30 or 1/60 of a second (depending on which smash bros game), and calculating actual ingame speed of the fist as it travels the full distance, using your already established calculations of the captain's body height. not the assumption that speed alone causes the flame.
booooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrriinngggg. we all seen the evidence of what happens when they collide, we are just lucky 2 C.falcons don't exist in this universe.
I think It'd be a better idea to measure the distance his fist travels by pixels or something. For all we know, he could be wearing some sort of weird material of gloves that catches fire with any fast-ish movement.
EpicTNTArrow Yeah, that's what I kept thinking! His fist clearly sparks before he starts the Falcon Punch, so I don't think the fire is due to speed and the drag of the air.
He said: 'At the speeds we see it clearly going, that's just not possible. So what would have to be done to make the Falcon Punch possible?' He knows it's not that fast in Smash: he's calculating how fast it would need to be to be doable, and how powerful it would be under these conditions.
I'd like to see a video on Pokemon held items… How do they work, why they can only hold one, and where do they hold it? Could they be "held" by the Pokeballs? Because why can't I actually Garchomp wearing a scarf?
Enjoyable video, but all of this became worthless with the release of the Captain Falcon/Lucina/ Robin Smash 4 trailer, as he ignites his completely stationary glove in preparation for the punch.
I guess you are right, the ignition starts earlier, however, this was before the said trailer, plus, it has the same general idea in terms of damage. A flaming fist going that fast would murder you.
Chaos Dracos Not exactly, he could make his fist (or fist's molecules, atoms or whatever) to vibrate too much in order to set them on fire. That, or he is lucky enought to make his fist combust spontaneously each time he does the falcon punch.
This is smash bros we have people that make fire appear out of THIN AIR and se that can make fire appear out of their sword and a plumber that shoots green fire. They just have the power to do so, it's in their blood
The problem with your theory is the glove and the fact that that he still has it after 1 or 20 punches assuming Captain Falcon himself somehow isn't effected by his punch the glove still need to catch on fire and burn while going at that speed meaning the glove shouldn't last very long.
XSanctusMalumX Though, considering every material in smash brothers is able to withstand every amount of everything, it's deducible to think that material in their world don't break down anywhere nearly at the rate they do here.
Gnoggin I don't understand the logic of your calculations. It can be seen quite plainly how fast a Falcon Punch is. Just look at a frame-by-frame analysis (preferably showing hitboxes and so forth). The time between two frames is ~1/60 of a second, so it's not that hard. There are probably other directions you could have gone to explain the fire. Given his other moves, it seems much more likely to be internally generated somehow.
MopedOfJustice Which is why I said that. at the speed he is going there is no way for his glove to light. but then I mythbuster it up and find out what it would take speed-wise to make this possible. even though odds are thats not how he does that, but what's more entertaining? figuring out what it would take to do that in real life and then its effects on a face? or saying "he has the power to create fire and does it." or making a re-hash of the Mario's FireFlower video. Though admittedly I should of been a bit more clear of these intentions in the video. More than just a sentence. It's a good note for me to take for the next video that winds up being that way. :)
This is all dependant on your assumption that it's the friciton that causes the flames to appeare around his arm when he punches. To which my reply is: How do you know? The game isn't paticularly realistic, so it could be that he simply conjures up the fire, which makes more sense if you pay attention to how it looks. It's shaped like a bird, which wouldn't be the natural shape fire would assume, were it generated by friction. (Unless it happened a few times by pure chance, but the shape occurs consistantly.) On the other hand, if it's conjured by him, it makes sense that he would shape it to represent a falcon. I'm not claiming to know for sure that my "conjuring" hypothesis is the answer, I'm merely providing an alternative and trying to point out that you jumped to an unsure conclusion and made your whole "theory" dependant on it.
The only issue here is that during the smash 4 trailer with him and Lucina, Falcon's fist isn't even moving while he is charging and it catches on fire. It seems more likely that he has some other was to catch his hand on fire rather than friction with the air.
+Dack Lazy how is he a noob its made by alpharad were he is falcon x falcon and he basically says a bunch of random funny things light knee to down taunt TRUE COMBO!
I think it might be more reliable to count the frames it takes to do the punch to find its speed and perhaps assume the fire is coming from something other than speed.
Hi Gnoggin. There's a high chance you won't respond to or read this. Especially due to the fact that this video was created 2 years ago. But I have a request. I'm a Roy main in Super Smash Bros. 4 and melee. And after I saw this video, I thought: "What if a person was hit by Roy's Flare Blade?" Of course, the results of the person being hit would be devistating, but I believe it can be put into better detail. I think you'll be able to make a video about being hit by Roy's Flare Blade.
If you don't want to make a video covering it I am totally okay with that. And if you have made a video about it I'll delete the comment as soon a possible.
Woah, also pretty cool for you to find it! Thanks for getting said footage and making it available on RUclips. :) I hope to see you make a similar video with the new one!
We'll in there universe (looking at the first) there toys/statues, so probably the force is lesser then of our universe ( btw if that where to happen in game...DIBS ON FALCON!!!!!!!!)
Of course, the obvious answer to how the Falcon Punch ignites itself: Captain Falcon is Roy Mustang in disguise. Or at the very least he is an Alchemist with the same technique as the Flame Alchemist. (ie: utilizing gloves made of Ignition Cloth to create a spark in the air and then using highly advanced Alchemy to manipulate the air around that spark to ignite it into full on flame.) After that, he simply punches the enemy in the face with a burning hand. The flame would then die out quickly, as the use of Alchemy would only manipulate the air around the fist for a very brief amount of time. Of course this is just one theory, and is far more boring than the idea of the good Captain's fist producing as much force as the Father of All Bombs.
Have we considered the possibility that Captain Falcon is wearing a specialized Gauntlet with burners that not only light it on fire, but would have a Forward Rocket Launching effect? This would account for its speed, power, and very specific "falcon" shape. Not to mention that a customized rocket powered gauntlet would not create any massive sonic boom, where as traveling at Mach 12 or 23 would. But hey, just adding my two cents. Have a great day.
Wow I love your theories. I love how there is actually science and real life aspects put into them unlike mattpats recent theories. I hope your channel grows really popular.
well lets see from my knowledge one forms from breaking the sound barrier... well do that 23 times... lets just say i wont be hearing from you if i stood nearby... also my ears may be bleeding... i think...
wait a second if u falcon punched.... at that speed wouldn't it literally rip ur arm off? i mean your arm is going so fast it should not be able to be able to stay attached to the body and work normally after punching that fast!!! please gnoggin can u cover this up!?
in light of the robin/lucina trailer where falcon ignites the fist before it's thrown, could it be possible that simply clenching his fist burns enough calories to ignite the glove? I'm no science genius by any measure, but it seems to me that if enough calories (the unit of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at one atmosphere) were expended by curling His hand into a fist, the muscles could produce enough energy to ignite the fist. just a thought.
This makes even more sense, seeing as in the Robin trailer for SSB4, we see a NORMAL punch from Captain Falcon break the sound barrier. He doesn't even do the Falcon Punch.
I think you could have also looked at it under the assumption that the fire happens because of some sort of magic ability, and then look at the speed in which he punches in the game, and how far the enemy goes from the force of it, to calculate the power of it. Then you could just throw in some serious burns on the person's face. But don't get me wrong, great video, but it's just something I thought should've been addressed. I dare say the quality of your theory videos are up to par with Game Theory, you deserve more views/subscribers.
Why can't it just be that Falcon has some kind of device under his gloves and in his boots that generates flames on command, kind of like 007's wristwatch dart gun?
Bond may be badass, but, is he as badass as Falcon? Remember that Falcon punched a hole in the universe. Did Bond do that? As for girls, there's no limit to the amount of fine ass that Falcon could hit! :)
Kirby mimics the abilities he absorbs perfectly, so we can assume that, in order to make up for the difference in weight and mass between himself and Captain Falcon, he amplifies the speed at which he moves his fist to give the exact same result.
Megidramon Not only perfectly, but even better, so if Kirby was able to completely copy Captain Falcon that punch would likely be a the tzar bomb blowing up in your face in all directions!
Runic Wispra actually it would be more like a knife going into your lower body (or upper depending on where Kirby is) because his hand is pointed you would basicly be skewered on his arm
considering extremely basic calculations ive made myself to goku over my few years of dragon ball experience...this punch would send goku recoiling..if were talking about goku from the VERY BEGINNING of dbz that is..you see unlike SOME people *cough* deathbattle *cough* i know the true measurement of snake way...while its not exact its far FAR longer than what SOME people make it out to be...its actually half of the entire dbz universe, as such its hundreds if not thousands of light-years long...meaning towards the end of the saiyan saga goku would be able to throw a punch a whole lot more powerful than this...and considering that dbz characters have charged each-other max speed and thrown punches...and survived said punches. late saiyan saga goku wouldnt even feel this... kinda shines a larger light on just how tough goku is doesnt it?
The original draft from toriyama had it spanning In four directions from the check in station,but the ogre said it was a million kilometers,however goku has swam from the other side of the earth to the 22 tenkaichi budukai it was...yonzibit? Idk but that's farther than 1000000 km though so its clearly unaccurate
also,the grand Kai is just the overseer of the milky way,supreme Kai is the overseer of the known dbz 7th universe.most people don't know that.the 4 kais are different quadrents of the milky way in dbz
the dubstep cuber this doesnt have any relation to what im saying. it was shown in a modle of the universe you can actually see IN THE SERIES that snake way is half the universe long
The thing is, if you take the speed at which the falcon punch moves a character a certain distance, the force won't match up with the way you did it. It has to decrease in power right before impact. I did something similar to this with Ganon on my channel.
Now you have to do one about the Final Heaven, Tifa's final Limit Break attack in FF7, since her's can cause a nuclear blast(or volcanic eruption) to a person/thing's body moments after impact.
If you were to watch the actual animation of the Falcon Punch, you'll notice that the flames that result from the attack is in the shape of an actual falcon, suggesting that the attack's magical in nature, or that there's special technology in his gloves that would allow the effect.
There was an end-card voting thing on Game Theory between the physics of a falcon punch, and something else. Mat said he'd get back to this later, but maybe he hasn't because he saw it's already been covered?
The Captain touches his other hand to his fist before it's drawn back. This touch could be him igniting a small fuse on his glove, which could be coated in an explosive or gas/kerosene, so the fuse ignites the fuel on the glove at the time set. Then, Captain Falcon simply slugs you in the face equal or close to equal the force of a man.
Holy sheet. 0_o So my question is for maybe a second part or whatever, in the anime, Captain Falcon used a Falcon Punch on Black Shadow while racing around a ring of saturn. The resulting explosion caused the ring to be shattered entirely. Can the force you gave equal those capabilities? 0.o FARUKON PONCHUU
and this is just with the logic of smash....now apply that logic to the punch that was thrown in the move/show where the collision could be seen from outside our galaxy.
+Gnoggin Forgive me if you addressed this already in the comments, but given the speed we see most of the punch traveling, wouldn't it seem likely that an initial burst of speed ignites the first *but* after ignition it drops to the speed with which we see the punch delivered? I mean besides the fact that the falcon shaped flame clearly marks this as something that is *not* a normal punch, even if sufficient energy could be applied to it. Given the background of Captain Falcon, it might be some ultra tech device that ignites around his forearm (assuming him not burning away his gloves isn't due to "It's a video game.") either in the shape of a Falcon or while something like a hologram of a flaming falcon is projected. Otherwise in a "kitchen sink" like setting of say Marvel or DC comics, it could be magic, chi manipulation, psionic, "general" super powers, spirits, etc.
Considering how flashy Captain Falcon is, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that what really happens is that Captain Falcon has special gloves (note how they look to have some lights at the very least in Brawl, at least, can't remember Melee,) that send a bird-shaped charge out around his fist. It would explain the kick as well.
Clearly his glove ignites due to something internally like a spark or potentially magic. The actual damage from a Falcon Punch would be whatever damage the punch itself can create (from looking at distance it travels and time it takes) and the fact that you're going to be exposed to fire when it hits you. The fire would probably not do much considering how short of a time frame it's actually on you, but the punch itself still looks like it's moving rather quickly.

This is you best video I'm it's so intense
Okay now the only problem is that he weighs a whopping 310 ibs characterprofile.fandom.com/wiki/Captain_Falcon
I watched vsauce's video because it was refrenced from tier zoo and vsauce refrenced this.
Honestly i kinda miss this style, has a Nostalgic style to it, wouldn't mind quick short videos lile this.
Or, you know, just press the shield buttton.
or do what black shadow did abd block it with your face

+michael cazier RRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
...I thought he just had a lighter attached to his glove.
a lighter that somehow ignites the air around him in a way that forms a falcon
*****
or ya know.....maybe mario taught him some fire tricks?
Theres a little lighter that when it is going fast enough blows on a spark made from going so fast, its creates a huge flame bird and the bird breathes on the enemy scorching them to death and flinging them out of the atmosphere to mars where the enemy is tortured by martians and then flung back to earth into the atmosphere making the enemy go faster and to be lit on fire again, smashing back into earth as its face is being slammed into the ground at rates of a lot of miles per hour making it be crushed into a small molecule and creating a black hole, sucking all of the milky way galaxy into it and it keeps growing and growing then swallows the whole urniverse. that is how earth will end.
Cooper Peterson
i'm pretty sure if they were launching into space they'd just die from lack of oxygen or be crushed by the g forces and explode

then how does he replace it in time for him o use another falcon punch
There's no limit to my power.
UNLIMITED POOOWWWWEERRRR!!!
YES
YES

one punch man would disagree whit you
"Into One Direction" - I approve.
falcon VS one direction LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Oof
...Meanwhile, Sakurai be like _"The heck did those nerds make up from a simple attack in my game?"_
So basically, if Captain Falcon punches you...
Your face would disconnect from your body and likely fly off into the stratosphere.
No. Your face would be gone without a trace.
FALCAWNNNN.. MAAATHHH!

Remember this PAUNCH only does about 25% points of damage in SSB4.
Think about that:
A punch as strong as the FOAB only does 25%.
You also have to understand the Falcon Punch was taken from the F-Zero Anime that existed before Smash Bros' was made.

Actually, it's the opposite. The Falcon Punch in the anime was inspired by the Falcon punch from Smash bros.
mojo873 Pretty sure it's the other way around, considering Cpt. Falcon never even fights in any of his games, it's just racing.

Tom Edwards In other words, you cease to exist in the fraction of a millisecond.
So you're saying...Captain Falcon should drive with his fist?
And yet it only launches you a little bit when you're hit at low percentages.
That just shows you how OP everyone gets when they're in a Super Smash series game.
not if your name is jigglypuff
General Bacon
I'm sleepy! **snore** (and you're dead.)
Try the same episode but with the knee of justice :P
What about Ganondorf's punch? Would it be the same or......
He's garbage, so it would be like a pillow.
One you haven't seen me play as him, two no it wouldn't.
Well I think they are the same speed with the one move
Ganondorf's punch is ignited by evil magic so this doesn't apply. (Furthermore, CF probably uses some kind of lighter to ignite his fist before punching)
Yeah, post comment I had him use the move and we see it ignite before he even punches them. Although I still think his punch contains more power (near instant ko with even 30% on some stages)
Hy lockstin you should do a video with MatPat. I love both of your channels very much

Gnoggin your channel is awesome man, matpat would certainly shout you out, or maybe ask you for a video.
Gnoggin Yo, you're pretty smart, and MatPat hosting the Smartest Show in gaming, I doubt he'd look past you that easily.
Gnoggin Game Theory helps other channels like this. MatPat said it himself, maybe you could ask him?
Falcon kicked in the nuts
Falcon nuts dead... I mean who got kicked bruh it hurt
That sure packs a "punch". Pun attended.
Falcon Punch!
I swear I would punch you if you didn't look like goku
(snickers) >v
Actually it packs a "paunch"
Well, I guess the memes of what happens when 2 Falcon Punches collide are pretty realistic.
Would Kirby's Falcon Punch be any different?
yes because kirby is different muscle wise
It would be alot harder to measure it as Kirby doesn't wear the gloves(Which means you would have to make an assumption about what Kirby's skin is made out of) when he does it and the fact that Kirby is smaller than Falcon would mean the distance would be less.
DManCAWMaster However, Kirby's Falcon Punch would basically be the same, due to his ability to flawlessly copy any ability he has absorbed. The point you make about his skin, while valid, can be debated, since Kirby can change his density and material, i.e., turning into a rock. Basically, the only difference would be Kirby's weight, mass and speed vs Captain Falcon's. To give the exact same result, which Kirby does, Kirby would have to go many times faster then Captain Falcon, assuming that Kirby changed his hand to a leather-like material.
Yes Kirby is a blob
Oh look now there is a Game Theory about this exact same thing like 6 and a half years later
the only (enormous) flaw here is you assumed the fire was from speed alone. for all we know his glove could have some cool futuristic tech that produces a plasma flame in the shape of a bird using, well, for simplicity sake, lets say a mist of butane suddenly sparked by flint or a small electric arc in the glove. hell, for all we know the firebird could just be a hologram projected by his helmet! you should be calculating the force of the punch based on animation frames being 1/30 or 1/60 of a second (depending on which smash bros game), and calculating actual ingame speed of the fist as it travels the full distance, using your already established calculations of the captain's body height. not the assumption that speed alone causes the flame.
A good point in my view.
booooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrriinngggg. we all seen the evidence of what happens when they collide, we are just lucky 2 C.falcons don't exist in this universe.
It sets people on fire, so not a holigram but i see where ur going with that. It could be a bit of fire with a holigram over it i guess?
depending on the game, yeah, but a mist of fuel ignited by a spark still makes sense. an enemy caught in that mist as it ignites also gets ignited.
Sirax123 yeah that would be really bad. but I would like to see captain falcon falcon punch Justin beiber in the face.
I think It'd be a better idea to measure the distance his fist travels by pixels or something. For all we know, he could be wearing some sort of weird material of gloves that catches fire with any fast-ish movement.
But that's just a theory! A you deserve more subscribers theory!
An Nguyen And here's the _Super Amazing End-Card Tournament!_
When I was younger, and N64 Smash came out, I always thought Captain Falcon was Captain Crunch's brother, and he kept saying "Captain Crunch!".
But what if he just had fire powers, igniting his fists himself instead of moving his fist fast. Besides, it's not that fast in Smash...
EpicTNTArrow Yeah, that's what I kept thinking! His fist clearly sparks before he starts the Falcon Punch, so I don't think the fire is due to speed and the drag of the air.
Ty-Rant_13 and as he explained, this is what he theorizes what needs to happen for a real falcon punch...and how deadly it is.
EpicTNTArrow plus in one of his taunts he ignites himself
He said: 'At the speeds we see it clearly going, that's just not possible. So what would have to be done to make the Falcon Punch possible?' He knows it's not that fast in Smash: he's calculating how fast it would need to be to be doable, and how powerful it would be under these conditions.
+Peter LordDevilTree but in that taunt he vibrates at an extreme rate.
I could take that punch. I'm just Saiyan.
*facepalm* That pun though
Wow that translation doe. But honestly i want to see dragon fist falcon punch brofist.
JAmere FUlghum fire god get your spelling right!
***** Oh no he blew up a city, not to be mean but kid buu blew up earth
***** It takes more than a flaming death punch to do in a Saiyan.
I'd like to see a video on Pokemon held items… How do they work, why they can only hold one, and where do they hold it? Could they be "held" by the Pokeballs? Because why can't I actually Garchomp wearing a scarf?
This is better than any game theory I've ever seen. Subbed.
Enjoyable video, but all of this became worthless with the release of the Captain Falcon/Lucina/ Robin Smash 4 trailer, as he ignites his completely stationary glove in preparation for the punch.
I forgot about that, but yeah this theory has been COMPLETELY debunked XD
I guess you are right, the ignition starts earlier, however, this was before the said trailer, plus, it has the same general idea in terms of damage. A flaming fist going that fast would murder you.
No the theory was a fist going that fast goes on fire which murders you, now we know it's based on Captain Falcon's power not speed
Chaos Dracos Not exactly, he could make his fist (or fist's molecules, atoms or whatever) to vibrate too much in order to set them on fire. That, or he is lucky enought to make his fist combust spontaneously each time he does the falcon punch.
This is smash bros we have people that make fire appear out of THIN AIR and se that can make fire appear out of their sword and a plumber that shoots green fire. They just have the power to do so, it's in their blood
Moral of the story: Don't mess with Captain Falcon...
Or he'll Falcon Punch you
The problem with your theory is the glove and the fact that that he still has it after 1 or 20 punches assuming Captain Falcon himself somehow isn't effected by his punch the glove still need to catch on fire and burn while going at that speed meaning the glove shouldn't last very long.
XSanctusMalumX Though, considering every material in smash brothers is able to withstand every amount of everything, it's deducible to think that material in their world don't break down anywhere nearly at the rate they do here.
Gnoggin I don't understand the logic of your calculations. It can be seen quite plainly how fast a Falcon Punch is. Just look at a frame-by-frame analysis (preferably showing hitboxes and so forth). The time between two frames is ~1/60 of a second, so it's not that hard.
There are probably other directions you could have gone to explain the fire. Given his other moves, it seems much more likely to be internally generated somehow.
MopedOfJustice Which is why I said that. at the speed he is going there is no way for his glove to light. but then I mythbuster it up and find out what it would take speed-wise to make this possible. even though odds are thats not how he does that, but what's more entertaining? figuring out what it would take to do that in real life and then its effects on a face? or saying "he has the power to create fire and does it." or making a re-hash of the Mario's FireFlower video. Though admittedly I should of been a bit more clear of these intentions in the video. More than just a sentence. It's a good note for me to take for the next video that winds up being that way. :)
Gnoggin Fair enough. Thanks for responding.
my #1 hint is that it's a video game and logic is thrown out the window, lol
This is all dependant on your assumption that it's the friciton that causes the flames to appeare around his arm when he punches.
To which my reply is: How do you know?
The game isn't paticularly realistic, so it could be that he simply conjures up the fire, which makes more sense if you pay attention to how it looks. It's shaped like a bird, which wouldn't be the natural shape fire would assume, were it generated by friction. (Unless it happened a few times by pure chance, but the shape occurs consistantly.)
On the other hand, if it's conjured by him, it makes sense that he would shape it to represent a falcon.
I'm not claiming to know for sure that my "conjuring" hypothesis is the answer, I'm merely providing an alternative and trying to point out that you jumped to an unsure conclusion and made your whole "theory" dependant on it.
Or maybe captain falcon could produce heat like the human torch and then punch you.
The only issue here is that during the smash 4 trailer with him and Lucina, Falcon's fist isn't even moving while he is charging and it catches on fire. It seems more likely that he has some other was to catch his hand on fire rather than friction with the air.
Falcon Punch to down taunt? True combo.
Johnny stock? True combo
+NickGaming3 noob
Dack Lazy It's a joke from another video called "F x F." It's about a Captain Falcon tryhard.
+Dack Lazy how is he a noob its made by alpharad were he is falcon x falcon and he basically says a bunch of random funny things light knee to down taunt TRUE COMBO!
I see, I humbly retracted my noob statement and offer a bj to you all as recompense
I need to watch this to figure out what would happen if a Falcon Punch and a Kamehameha collided.
A-ha-ha-ha.
Remind me to never agree to a battle or anger Captain Falcon. ^_^'''
you forget he's a bounty hunter he might end up coming after you for different reasons
And #1 would add fuel to the fire.
you spilled milkshake all over his shoes.
。。。
I think it might be more reliable to count the frames it takes to do the punch to find its speed and perhaps assume the fire is coming from something other than speed.
Hi Gnoggin.
There's a high chance you won't respond to or read this. Especially due to the fact that this video was created 2 years ago. But I have a request.
I'm a Roy main in Super Smash Bros. 4 and melee. And after I saw this video, I thought: "What if a person was hit by Roy's Flare Blade?"
Of course, the results of the person being hit would be devistating, but I believe it can be put into better detail. I think you'll be able to make a video about being hit by Roy's Flare Blade.
If you don't want to make a video covering it I am totally okay with that.
And if you have made a video about it I'll delete the comment as soon a possible.
Considering that theres not really a charge effect in real life, it would probably just be the same as if you were hit by a flaming sword.
And then, Shulk makes his counter...
corrin*
Xel all the counter characters are using magic
@@ShiftyGuy777 Little Mac: am I a joke to you?
7:10 most epic fistbump EVER!
I'd like to see this calculation done using the actual frame data from the game to calculate the speeds.
WOAH! at first i saw the footage and im like lol that looks like my- then i saw the bottom right corner! OMG its a honor to be featured in your video!
Woah, also pretty cool for you to find it! Thanks for getting said footage and making it available on RUclips. :) I hope to see you make a similar video with the new one!
Conclusio : Captain Falcon is Saitama.
In other words everyone in the SBB universe should be dead?
Everyone... except CAPTAIN FALCON!
We'll in there universe (looking at the first) there toys/statues, so probably the force is lesser then of our universe ( btw if that where to happen in game...DIBS ON FALCON!!!!!!!!)
D.M. Kramx Are you misspelling everything on purpose?
Si
No. Falcon Punch never lands.
Of course, the obvious answer to how the Falcon Punch ignites itself: Captain Falcon is Roy Mustang in disguise. Or at the very least he is an Alchemist with the same technique as the Flame Alchemist. (ie: utilizing gloves made of Ignition Cloth to create a spark in the air and then using highly advanced Alchemy to manipulate the air around that spark to ignite it into full on flame.) After that, he simply punches the enemy in the face with a burning hand. The flame would then die out quickly, as the use of Alchemy would only manipulate the air around the fist for a very brief amount of time.
Of course this is just one theory, and is far more boring than the idea of the good Captain's fist producing as much force as the Father of All Bombs.
Now I want to see if you use that anime of F-Zero as reference. lol
Falcon Punch has the power to destroy an entire galaxy there.
Have we considered the possibility that Captain Falcon is wearing a specialized Gauntlet with burners that not only light it on fire, but would have a Forward Rocket Launching effect? This would account for its speed, power, and very specific "falcon" shape. Not to mention that a customized rocket powered gauntlet would not create any massive sonic boom, where as traveling at Mach 12 or 23 would. But hey, just adding my two cents. Have a great day.
verdict: you get falcon punched=you're 100% dead
The favorite being the punch? Bitch please, that knee of justice is why people know falcon
That's nothing compared to a Chuck Norris punch.
We're still making Chuck Norris jokes? That's sad..
***** Don't act like I'm the only one doing it.
Just saying. I know.
***** my friends used to make Chuck norris jokes, but they didn't know who he even was when asked xD
What if. Chuck Norris is behind that helmet?
It would probably hurt a lot.
So basically the planet explosion was accurate in the anime
Wow I love your theories. I love how there is actually science and real life aspects put into them unlike mattpats recent theories. I hope your channel grows really popular.
How big of a sonic boom would it make
??????
well lets see from my knowledge one forms from breaking the sound barrier... well do that 23 times... lets just say i wont be hearing from you if i stood nearby... also my ears may be bleeding... i think...
im tired
like a sonic boom: rise of lyric
designers of that game clearly had falcon punched in their head and survived
Captian Falcon, punches at mach 12 speeds with a force stronger than 44 tons of tnt. No wonder he doesn't collect bounties with his fists.
wait a second if u falcon punched.... at that speed wouldn't it literally rip ur arm off?
i mean your arm is going so fast it should not be able to be able to stay attached to the body and work normally after punching that fast!!!
please gnoggin can u cover this up!?
He is talking about people who can handle it...
ah course...
i feel stupid
James Chan no one can handle this
Nome Sobrenome Captain Falcon can.
***** except he is not real
Damn. My mans just got X-Ray-ed. 1:42
To all haters...
Falcon PUNCH!!! your argument is invalid.
+Jamie Krejci
*goes flying off stage*
WHY DID I PICK BIG BLUE?!!
Now do, "what would happen if you were bullet punched by a Metagross/MegaScizor?'' And "Is there anything on the planet that Godzilla can't crush?"
Applying that punch to One Direction would be enjoyable...
in light of the robin/lucina trailer where falcon ignites the fist before it's thrown, could it be possible that simply clenching his fist burns enough calories to ignite the glove? I'm no science genius by any measure, but it seems to me that if enough calories (the unit of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at one atmosphere) were expended by curling His hand into a fist, the muscles could produce enough energy to ignite the fist. just a thought.
What if Sonic ran full speed into a falcon punch? O.o
Mother of god.....
+PixelGuardian The real question is what if quicksilver who can run ot like mach 30 as his top speed ran into it.
Fantasy Connect Mach 10 is Quicksilver's top speed.
This makes even more sense, seeing as in the Robin trailer for SSB4, we see a NORMAL punch from Captain Falcon break the sound barrier. He doesn't even do the Falcon Punch.
god, what about a warlock punch?
Lucas Legend YES! I have been wondering about that as well. Same goes for Ike/Roy's flaming sword thrust, whether it be to the side or down.
what about ness' pk flash. oh god
What about Ganondorf's volcano kick
Lucas Legend according to damage values in ssb4, it is 10203808.1536 PSI
Ragnorok x and fully charged flare blade is 15943450.24 PSI
I think you could have also looked at it under the assumption that the fire happens because of some sort of magic ability, and then look at the speed in which he punches in the game, and how far the enemy goes from the force of it, to calculate the power of it. Then you could just throw in some serious burns on the person's face. But don't get me wrong, great video, but it's just something I thought should've been addressed. I dare say the quality of your theory videos are up to par with Game Theory, you deserve more views/subscribers.
Why can't it just be that Falcon has some kind of device under his gloves and in his boots that generates flames on command, kind of like 007's wristwatch dart gun?
As for how they remain unburned, his boots seem to be lightweight metal and his gloves could be fireproof.
Becausr only Bond James Bond is that badass.
Nah, pretty sure Bond isn't nearly badass as Falcon.
***** Of course he is. Bond has a lazerwatch and all the fine girls. If thats not badass Idk what is lol
Bond may be badass, but, is he as badass as Falcon? Remember that Falcon punched a hole in the universe. Did Bond do that? As for girls, there's no limit to the amount of fine ass that Falcon could hit! :)
So, to put it simply, if you were Falcon Punched, you're basically beyond screwed.
Kirby has a different body shape and hand shape so what if kirby FP'd you
Kirby mimics the abilities he absorbs perfectly, so we can assume that, in order to make up for the difference in weight and mass between himself and Captain Falcon, he amplifies the speed at which he moves his fist to give the exact same result.
Megidramon Not only perfectly, but even better, so if Kirby was able to completely copy Captain Falcon that punch would likely be a the tzar bomb blowing up in your face in all directions!
Runic Wispra actually it would be more like a knife going into your lower body (or upper depending on where Kirby is) because his hand is pointed you would basicly be skewered on his arm
I can believe it. The man can block swords with his forearms with a smile on his face.
So pretty much, to dish out this punch..... you need to be Saitama.
i just thought of something.
Captain Falcon's Falcon punch vs Saitama's One punch
No wait, that would break the universe.
+Angry Lucas Saitama wins.... no debate. He was made with the sole intent that he could never lose.
i was saying, what if the two punches collided?
+Angry Lucas Captain Falcon would probably be missing an arm.
Meh,it would look epic.
GREAT!!!!
Now do it with the reverse warlock punch
considering extremely basic calculations ive made myself to goku over my few years of dragon ball experience...this punch would send goku recoiling..if were talking about goku from the VERY BEGINNING of dbz that is..you see unlike SOME people *cough* deathbattle *cough* i know the true measurement of snake way...while its not exact its far FAR longer than what SOME people make it out to be...its actually half of the entire dbz universe, as such its hundreds if not thousands of light-years long...meaning towards the end of the saiyan saga goku would be able to throw a punch a whole lot more powerful than this...and considering that dbz characters have charged each-other max speed and thrown punches...and survived said punches. late saiyan saga goku wouldnt even feel this...
kinda shines a larger light on just how tough goku is doesnt it?
Yes, the largest conventional explosive probably wouldn't scratch Goku.
Nor would it scratch Superman.
The original draft from toriyama had it spanning
In four directions from the check in station,but the ogre said it was a million kilometers,however goku has swam from the other side of the earth to the 22 tenkaichi budukai it was...yonzibit? Idk but that's farther than 1000000 km though so its clearly unaccurate
also,the grand Kai is just the overseer of the milky way,supreme Kai is the overseer of the known dbz 7th universe.most people don't know that.the 4 kais are different quadrents of the milky way in dbz
the dubstep cuber this doesnt have any relation to what im saying. it was shown in a modle of the universe you can actually see IN THE SERIES that snake way is half the universe long
Why are you ranting about how strong boku is on a video about captain falcon?
Or Captain Falcon just knows magic. That could work too.
The thing is, if you take the speed at which the falcon punch moves a character a certain distance, the force won't match up with the way you did it. It has to decrease in power right before impact. I did something similar to this with Ganon on my channel.
Now you have to do one about the Final Heaven, Tifa's final Limit Break attack in FF7, since her's can cause a nuclear blast(or volcanic eruption) to a person/thing's body moments after impact.
If you were to watch the actual animation of the Falcon Punch, you'll notice that the flames that result from the attack is in the shape of an actual falcon, suggesting that the attack's magical in nature, or that there's special technology in his gloves that would allow the effect.
There was an end-card voting thing on Game Theory between the physics of a falcon punch, and something else. Mat said he'd get back to this later, but maybe he hasn't because he saw it's already been covered?
I like that you used maths in this, it's just like old school game theory.
Subbed
The Captain touches his other hand to his fist before it's drawn back. This touch could be him igniting a small fuse on his glove, which could be coated in an explosive or gas/kerosene, so the fuse ignites the fuel on the glove at the time set. Then, Captain Falcon simply slugs you in the face equal or close to equal the force of a man.
Gnoggin ty for putting in here the metric system for everyone else around the world
Imagine two falcon punches hitting you at the same time. In- er. Through the back, and front. Complete destruction
One helluva one inch punch when it goes over twice the max-speed of the fastest jet ever made (so fast it doesn't need O2 compressors)
or maybe, just MAYBE, Captain Falcon can set his fist on fire using future-science or magic.
And that's why you should NEVER let two falcon punches collide into each other!
Holy sheet. 0_o So my question is for maybe a second part or whatever, in the anime, Captain Falcon used a Falcon Punch on Black Shadow while racing around a ring of saturn. The resulting explosion caused the ring to be shattered entirely. Can the force you gave equal those capabilities? 0.o
FARUKON PONCHUU
and this is just with the logic of smash....now apply that logic to the punch that was thrown in the move/show where the collision could be seen from outside our galaxy.
Captain Falcon doesn't need speed. He just makes fire.
I feel like whomever he punches just stops existing.
+Gnoggin Forgive me if you addressed this already in the comments, but given the speed we see most of the punch traveling, wouldn't it seem likely that an initial burst of speed ignites the first *but* after ignition it drops to the speed with which we see the punch delivered?
I mean besides the fact that the falcon shaped flame clearly marks this as something that is *not* a normal punch, even if sufficient energy could be applied to it. Given the background of Captain Falcon, it might be some ultra tech device that ignites around his forearm (assuming him not burning away his gloves isn't due to "It's a video game.") either in the shape of a Falcon or while something like a hologram of a flaming falcon is projected.
Otherwise in a "kitchen sink" like setting of say Marvel or DC comics, it could be magic, chi manipulation, psionic, "general" super powers, spirits, etc.
1:04 Complete missed opportunity to use CDi Ganon going "your face."
Considering how flashy Captain Falcon is, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that what really happens is that Captain Falcon has special gloves (note how they look to have some lights at the very least in Brawl, at least, can't remember Melee,) that send a bird-shaped charge out around his fist. It would explain the kick as well.
Clearly his glove ignites due to something internally like a spark or potentially magic. The actual damage from a Falcon Punch would be whatever damage the punch itself can create (from looking at distance it travels and time it takes) and the fact that you're going to be exposed to fire when it hits you. The fire would probably not do much considering how short of a time frame it's actually on you, but the punch itself still looks like it's moving rather quickly.
The day two falcon punches collide is the day the universe ends.
This better be mentioned during the upcoming death battle
now, imagine a reverse warlock punch right in yourface.
