Talk:Donkey Kong vs Akuma/@comment-27822848-20151010192647

Alright, prediction tiiiiiiiiiiime!

Donkey Kong:
 * +Much stronger
 * +Much more durable
 * +Has more stamina
 * +Greater range
 * +Better reaction time (25,000 mph punches, anyone?)
 * +Defeated more powerful opponents
 * -Slower
 * -Very dumb
 * -Unknown how well he'd survive the Raging Demon

Akuma:
 * +More skilled fighter
 * +Faster travel speed
 * +Raging Demon might be helpful, who knows
 * -Not nearly as strong
 * -Nor as durable
 * -Poor stamina
 * -Going in up-close is a risk
 * -Has never fought someone quite on DK's level

Now, it looks like Donkey Kong has this one in the bag at first. But then you have to consider something Akuma has:

The Raging Demon.

I find this interesting, because I'm not too sure how well the Raging Demon would do against DK. While Donkey Kong has definitely committed sin before, he's not nearly as bad of a sinner as others. However, since this killed Gouken, someone who probably committed even less sin, I'd imagine that it would probably kill DK as well.

But this is all assuming that Akuma goes in for the Raging Demon immediately. He likely won't, and will try to just beat Donkey Kong senseless at first. Which will be no use whatsoever, because Donkey Kong is just too durable for that. He'll tank everything in Akuma's arsenal, and the second DK gets his hands on Akuma, there's just no saving the Master of the Fist.

Anyway, it all depends on whether Akuma will get to use the Raging Demon before DK gets his hands on him. And in the end, I don't think he'll be able to.

I say this match goes to Donkey Kong.
