Description[]
Super Mario Brothers VS Mega Man X! These sidekicks are awesome, but, who'd trump the other in a DEATH BATTLE?!
Interlude[]
Boomstick: Sidekicks are very common things. Their always there for the hero, but are normally overshadowed. Both of these two are different! They even got their own GAMES, their that badass! Watch out Mario & Mega Man X!
Wiz: First up, we've got the lovable sidekick to Mario, Luigi.
Boomstick: And the kickass sidekick to Mega Man X, Zero!
Wiz: And it's OUR job to analyze their weapons, armor, & skills to determine... who would win... a Death Battle.
Luigi[]
Wiz: Long ago, a stork carried two baby brothers to their home. One of those was the brave hero, Mario. The other was the lovable coward, Luigi. The day was rather calm, & peaceful. Of course, until Kamek, Bowser's magical second in command, came & snatched the babies. However, he missed Mario, & captured the stork & Luigi. Luigi spent the rest of the game being suffocated in a bag. Once he was finally saved, he was taken to his parents with his brother Mario. However, next game, WRONG PARENTS!
Boomstick: Man, what's up with going to the wrong place with these Mario Characters?! First, the wrong parents, fast forward to adulthood, & he goes to the wrong castle. MULTIPLE TIMES!!
Wiz: Anyway, this game features Kamek returning & trying again to capture the babies because now, it's discovered that their Star Children! 7, to be exact!
Boomstick: Heh... Peach must really wanna make up for her uselessness...
Wiz: However, once Luigi grew up, he became an absolute BEAST in battle! Allow me to start with his Power-Ups:
- Blue Shell: This can be used to ram into foes with enough force to casually shatter bricks, & can be hidden in to reduce damage to 50%, & grants complete immunity to fire! It also grants better and faster swimming, &, in a crisis, it can be taken off to home in, & detonate a large explosion on the foe!
- Power Flower: This turns Luigi intangible for 25 seconds!
- Kitsune Leaf: This turns Luigi into a kitsune, giving him a tail that can shatter bricks, & grants flight! Plus, he can turn into an invincible statue that harms anyone who touches it, but cannot move.
- Smash Ball: This enables the Negative Zone, which halves Luigi's foes' stats, but doubles Luigi's! This can also slow foes down, poison them, & make them uncontrollably dizzy.
- Rock Mushroom: Turns Luigi into an invincible rolling boulder that hits with enough force to shatter a pillar of diamond that stands at 60 feet!
- Super Bell: Turns Luigi into a cat that has razor-sharp claws, & doubles his speed & stamina, also allowing him to turn into an invincible golden statue that harms anyone who touches it, but cannot move... Again...
Boomstick: Hot damn! Now THAT'S an arsenal! But this ain't all, as he also has his weaponry:
- Ultra Hammer: This can deflect projectiles, shatter obsidian, & even demolish entire castles!
- Poltergust 5000: This has the suction power to match a tornado, & has control over fire, water, & ice that can be fired in bullets, or beams! The Dark Light Device reveals & weakens intangible enemies, & with the Strobulb, can paralyze even the undead! Oh, & did I mention he busted a moon with this?
Wiz: Very true, but, shall we get going on his stats?
Boomstick: YES!! I've been waiting a long time for this!
Wiz: In Super Mario Galaxy 2's final boss battle, Luigi's trouncing around NEUTRON STARS, not METEORS. So, now that that's cleared up, let's begin with the calculation. First, a Neutron Star is normally twice the mass of the Sun. Now, while it may not LOOK that big, it is. You see, if it were that big, you wouldn't see Bowser, or, anything, for that matter. Regardless, Super Mario World has ALSO scaled things down visually, so, there's no point in saying that wasn't done here as well. Anyway, after some crazy math, size comparisons, etc., we've gotten a low-end feat of 780 Septillion tons.
Boomstick: ...Please, tell me your impressed. Cause if you aren't, you just outright hate Mario. Superman benched Earth, correct? Well, that was only 30 Sextillion tons. When he pulled a Solar System, it was only 300 Sextillion tons. All this means, in short, Luigi, is stronger, physically, than Superman.
Wiz: Aside from that, his speed feat is just as impressive. In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Mario fights Culex. He states that he consumes time. Time is defined as the ongoing events of the Universe. Movement, change, those are time. Now, here's where things get crazy. Mario BREATHING at this point is an outrageous feat. If Culex consumes time, the dimension you encounter him in should be frozen in time. Hanging in limbo. Yet, Mario's able to FIGHT Culex. This makes Mario faster than time. How fast is time, you may ask? Well, let's look at the units of time & the speed of light. In one second, light zooms around Earth's equator 7 times. Mario's faster, as one second is a unit of time. In one nanosecond, light can hardly move from one molecule to the next. Mario's faster, as one nanosecond is STILL a unit of time. Time is change. Without it, the Big Bang would've never happened. Scientifically, without time, space, which is defined as the plane at which beings exist, or, an area that is free, basically existence, CAN'T exist. However, it also works in reverse. Space is the thing time changes. Without something TOO change, no change can exist, nor occur. The combined efforts of time & space make our Universe work the way it does. I suppose your wondering what that has to do with the speed of time, huh? Well, Mario breaks physics. If he's faster than time, no change should occur around him. Hell, he should've never even witnessed the Big Bang. Unless... Mario controls time... It's actually not far-fetched at all, believe it or not. In Super Mario World, Mario wipes a castle from existence, which is a form of reality warping. Reality is defined as the quality of existing. Existence is space, & time assists space in existing. This feat explains how Mario's faster than time & a reality warper. But, wait, what does this have to do with Luigi? Well, dum dum, MULTIPLE games CONFIRM Luigi to be faster than Mario, the one WITH this feat. Plus, Luigi also pulled off that reality warping feat in Super Mario World, so, yeah.
Boomstick: Getting out of paragraph-long explanations, DURABILITY! Luigi has tanked loads of shit! Atmospheric re-entry, Black Holes tearing apart the Universe, a Universal Hypernova, & is around Mario's level of durability, so, we could assume he could tank Culex's Multiversal blows. Also, he was unscathed by the surface of a Neutron Star, which is 1,000,000 Kelvins, while the core of the Sun is only 40,000 Kelvins, 25x hotter!
Wiz: Also, he's extremely intelligent as well! In Dream Team, the Mario Bros. solve the mystery of Pi'illo Island, something not even scientists, nor archaeologists could solve. The average scientist has an I.Q. of 130, making Luigi highly intelligent! Also, Luigi's Multiversal!
(Cue ~ Bowser's Lava Lair - Metal Remix)
Boomstick: Finally, onto hand-to-hand combat skill, abilities, & magical properties!:
- Hand-to-hand combat skill: Very high. Luigi has learned A LOT about fighting from the RPGs, & even Smash, which makes him extremely versatile, & he even made his own abilities, such as the Luigi Cyclone, Green Missile, & Super Jump Punch.
- Electrokinesis: Luigi is able to throw balls of electricity, summon lightning at will, & even paralyze someone's entire body! Plus, his lightning makes craters in the ground. In reality, this is possible, but only for some of the world's most intense lightning, making Luigi's lightning 30,000 degrees Celsius, & able to deliver about 100,000 amps, which is, well, 100,000x more deadly than the amount required to kill a human!
- Jumping: Luigi's been confirmed as the best jumper in all of the Mushroom Kingdom, meaning he can jump over 100 feet high, jump fast enough to travel through time, & he can execute the Spin Jump, which renders Luigi immune to anything sharp, & is able to shatter stone & brick.
- Star Spin: This is Large Planet Level easily.
- Ground Pound: This is where Luigi crushes things beneath him with enough force to shatter bricks.
- Star Pound: This is a homing missile-like attack that hits with Multi-Star Level DC.
Wiz: Anyway, Luigi also, has basically no weaknesses. He's become less of a coward, shown in Dark Moon & Dream Team, as well as Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, etc. Plus, he strategizes A LOT in the RPGs, so, yeah.
Boomstick: Woo! This is gonna be AWESOME!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luigi: *Spins around, then takes his elemental pose*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zero[]
Wiz: Zero's origin story is a funny one. Being created by Dr. Wily to be the ultimate creation, out of frustration towards his arch-nemesis, Mega Man.
Boomstick: Classic Mega Man. Not Volnutt, not EXE, not Starforce, not X, Mega Man. Classic.
Wiz: Anyway, Wily didn't hold back when making Zero. And you know what? He probably would've been a complete success, if it weren't for a fatal virus that snuck it's way into Zero's code. This was the Maverick Virus. It forced Zero into craving destruction, & he nearly even killed Wily himself! After that, Wily was angered, & locked Zero away for good. He had no idea what he'd just set aside. Zero was launched by capsule away from Wily. Later, a group of Mavericks stumbled upon his capsule, & freed him.
Boomstick: And guess what? Zero was so ecstatic about how nice they were to him, hell, he cut every single one of them down to size! LITERALLY!
Wiz: Again, the Maverick Virus. But, Zero's winning streak didn't last much longer, as the leader of those Mavericks showed up, Sigma. The battle between the two was fairly even at first, until Sigma shattered Zero's crystal on his forehead, costing him the match. Sigma took Zero back to his base, & they cured Zero of the Maverick Virus. He then became a valuable fighter in their ranks, effortlessly climbing them, & befriending what was suppose to be his ultimate enemy, Mega Man X.
Boomstick: But, enough of story time. LET'S SEE WHAT THIS BLONDE CAN DO WITH HIS POWER-UPS & WEAPONS!!:
- Z-Buster: This is an arm cannon that Zero uses to fire off powerful shots at a very rapid rate. It can also be charged to shoot one, or two powerful blasts of energy.
- Z-Saber: This is an extremely powerful plasma sword capable of slicing right through Titanium Z-Alloy, a metal 3x stronger than our famed Titanium, as if it were butter. It also can transform into the Shield Boomerang, which can be spun as an effective shield that destroys projectiles, & can be thrown as a razor-sharp boomerang. The Chain Rod is a long-range weapon capable of grappling enemies, objects, & even the walls & ceilings! The Recoil Rod is generally charged to push enemies or objects, but can also, well, recoil, & spring Zero 40 feet into the air!
- Elemental Sabers: These Sabers have pretty much the same level in terms of stats and hit with one Splitting Slash, but offer elemental strengths to the user, capable of causing additional damage to certain enemies.
- Double Tooth: A double-bladed saber, which has a higher chance of a Critical Hit with a Splitting Slash.
- Red Lotus Saber: Zero's fastest weapon, this blade drains all of Zero's power and channels it into a giant flame blade.
- Soul Saber: The Soul Saber is not an energy blade; rather, it is a metal blade. The Soul Saber lets Zero perform a spin-attack, Slash at Death. It's power increases the lower Zero's Life Energy is.
- Σ Blade: This Saber is twice the size of all other sabers, & also triple the power.
Boomstick: --Which I suppose I should warn, is quite a bit.
(Cue ~ Dr. Wily Castle Stage - Metal Remix)
Wiz:Oh, but this is far from all Zero has! Being vastly superior to Mega Man Classic & Bass combined, who are about on par with Proto Man, Zero's physical strength should be comparable to his, in which results in Zero being able to lift millions of tons with ease! Not only this, but with his BARE HANDS, he ripped Titanium Z-Alloy like wet paper!
Boomstick: In comparison, a lot of fiction struggles with this type of power.
Wiz: Then, X managed to completely obliterate the Maverick Virus from the face of the Earth between the 100 year time gap of X8 & MMZ. Considering it effected outer space, the moon, & Earth, & also saying it happened in one second, since in Mega Man Zero 3, the Dark Elf's powers worked within a second, & also because this feat is not visually shown, this all equals out as a low-end feat of 20 Quintillion mps. Possibly thousands of times faster than light, & because of Zero being around X's speed, possibly even surpassing it, this feat also applies to him.
Boomstick: Also, Zero's crazily durable, able to tank atmospheric re-entry, nuclear missiles, explosions point-blank, Star Level blows, &, depending on which Sigma we use, possible Multiversal durability, thanks to Archie Sigma! He can also tank heat comparable to about 45,000 Kelvins, & tons of other Planetary shit!
Wiz: Also, Zero is capable of matching a supercomputer when it comes to intelligence. In comparison, the world's best supercomputer computes 4x faster and holds 10x as much data as a scientist's brain! Also, scaling Zero to Archie Sigma results in a Multiversal Zero!
Boomstick: Ready for all of his abilities, magical properties, & hand-to-hand combat skill? LET'S DO THIS!!:
- Hand-to-hand combat skill: High. While he normally fights with his weapons, he's also shown the ability to fight hand-to-hand really well in all of the Marvel VS Capcom games.
- Nightmare Form: This raises Zero's physical strength by 75%, speed by 50%, & durability by 25%. It also grants complete immunity to fire, unlimited flight, & he also has new techniques like Shingetsurin, which fires 2 giant energy spheres to hit enemies. Shin Messenkou, which is like C-Flasher, but much stronger. Denharei is a small homing energy slash. And probably his strongest, Ittouryoudan, which is where Nightmare Zero slashes from overhead, and sends 2 massive energy slashes at enemies, which is normally a one hit kill!
- C-Sword: An airborne C-shaped slash.
- F-Splasher: Surrounds Zero in ice, and can freeze enemies it touches.
- E-Blade: A rising electric slash, which also sends lightning bolts both upwards and downwards, damaging opponents.
- C-Flasher: Zero punches the ground, and an explosion erupts around him, which can also turn even more powerful depending on how damaged Zero is.
- Dark Hold: Freezes time for awhile.
- W-Shredder: Sends out a copy of Zero that strikes an opponent if it makes contact.
- Quake Blazer: A downward thrust with the Z-Saber, which also has adjustable aim.
- Twin Dream: An exact replica of Zero that helps battle the enemy for a short while.
- Shippuuga & Sentsuizan: Twirling, rapidly hitting slashes from Zero, except Sentsuizan is the airborne version, which allows him to glide.
- Ryuenjin & Shoenzan: Uppercuts with the Z-Saber, except Shoenzan is an added flame attribute, but slightly weaker.
- Hyoroga: Makes Zero jump and cling to reachable ceilings, then fire icicles at enemies.
- Ensuizan: A rolling slash from Zero, which is also preformable in the air as well as the ground.
- Rakukojin: A metallic downward jab, and if it hits, can shoot anchors towards the flying foe to hit even more.
- Guard Shell: An energy shield that can reflect energy-based projectiles.
- Rekkoha: Zero punches the ground, summoning light lasers to hit enemies from above, and targets enemies anywhere.
- Raijinshou: Surrounds Zero with an electric tornado.
- Suiretsusen: A strong forward water thrust.
- Bakuenjin: Zero punches the ground, causing a huge fiery explosion.
- Zankourin: Zero shoots out a light energy-based razor.
- Hieijin: Fires a homing light energy-based missile at enemies.
- Souenbu: A wind boomerang.
- Hadengeki: An overhead slash that sends out an energy slash to hit enemies.
- Gokumonken: Basically a counter move, as anyone who gets close during this move and attacks, automatically gets attacked right back.
- Raijinken: A powerful thunder energy-based uppercut.
- Enkoukyaku: Isn't a Z-Saber technique, but is a flame energy-based kick Zero performs that burns enemies, & also has an electric counterpart.
- Shouryuuken: A spiralling ice energy-based uppercut that freezes airborne enemies and harms ground enemies.
Wiz: Damn... That's a lot... But, regardless, Zero has a few distinct weaknesses, such as the fact that his Z-Buster requires him to be grounded to use for some reason. But, a real weakness is that crystal on his forehead. As said before, Sigma shattered that, causing Zero to lose his first battle. While if shattered it doesn't ensure Zero's down, it's still a weak point, nonetheless.
Boomstick: HELL YEAH!! LET'S THROW THESE BADASSES INTO THE RING!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zero: I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pre-DEATH BATTLE![]
Wiz: Alright. The combatants are set. It's time to settle this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLLLLLLLLLLLE!!!!!
DEATH BATTLE![]
"M-M-M-Mario??" Luigi asked to the barren forest before him.
He can't seem to find his way back with the group, Mario, Peach, & all the Toads. They were all, once again, touring Pi'illo Island, this time the Sacred Somnom Woods, after Broque Monseiur discovered a ground-breaking factoid. Hell, Luigi didn't even have Starlow or Dreambert with him.
He continued creeping through the forest, hoping to find everyone.
"Aha! I have a good idea!" Luigi said to himself, & looked towards the large shrine before him, "They must be up there!" Luigi convinced himself, & began making his way up the elevators, across the chasms, & up a flight of stairs to find them.
He was right about them being there, but didn't see them al in good condition. Two robots were standing there, one blue, one red. Mario was ready to fight, while half the others were unconscious, except Broque Monseiur.
"Mario!" Luigi yelled, jumping next to his brother.
Mario looked over at his brother, & sighed.
"Thanks Luigi, but please, be careful. These guys aren't-a slouches." Mario warned.
Mega Man EXE then lunged at Mario, & they countered punches, however, falling off the shrine. Zero glares at Luigi, & thinks in his head, "These can't possibly be the ones that killed X, can they? I swear, he better be telling the truth..."
Luigi & Zero lock eyes, then dash towards one another, first colliding fists, electricity flying everywhere.
(Cue ~ Megalovania - Dual Mix)
Then, briefly appearing on the screen in bold red letters,
FIGHT![]
Luigi & Zero then jump backwards, Zero throwing the Shield Boomerang forward, & Luigi narrowly dodging by ducking. Luigi jumps behind Zero, but Zero thinks quickly & uses Dark Hold.
Then, Zero receives a punch to the face, sending him skidding back 20 meters, yet he still managed to catch his Shield Boomerang from behind.
"How?! I stopped time!" Zero thought to himself. Zero then pulled out the Red Lotus Saber, & swung at Luigi, except he rolled behind him, dodging, & Star Spinned into his back, sending Zero toppling forward. He landed on his feet perfectly, then turned around just fast enough to swing at Luigi, countering a punch perfectly. Zero threw Luigi back, jumped onto a wall, then began firing icicles at Luigi rapidly, who was managing to spin, roll, & maneuver his way out of being hit. Finally, one goes right through his pant leg.
"Can't be perfect, can ya?!" Zero shouted, then slashed Luigi twice across the chest, before uppercutting him, sending lightning bolts upwards, stunning Luigi. Zero then kicked towards the airborne Luigi, hitting him with flames, then defying all gravity, rapidly twirling, slashing Luigi. Then, after the attack finished, Zero kicked Luigi with an electric kick, sending him flying forwards, & rebounding off of him, landing perfectly fine.
Luigi bounced off the ground twice before landing on his feet, & sliding uncontrollably, but charging his Thunder Hand. Zero, unaware of this ability of Luigi's, dashed towards him, & once close, Luigi shoved the electricity into Zero's chest, stunning him, then exploding electricity into him, blasting him backwards, Zero screaming in pain after the event.
Zero then slammed his back into a statue, cracking it. Before Zero could recover, Luigi punched him, sending him blasting through the statue, shattering it to pieces, & falling off the shrine.
"Hrrrmmm..." Luigi growled, before jumping after Zero.
(Cue ~ Final Destination - SSBB)
There were multiple pillars they began jumping across to get to the ground. There was an ocean of electrified, poisonous, water beneath them. A fuck up might cost them everything right now.
Luigi tried to punch Zero, but he dodged, & fired a homing missile made of pure energy at Luigi. Luigi dodged, but wasn't aware that it was a homing missile. He fired a ball of electricity at Zero, who used the Guard Shell to reflect it. Luigi was shocked, but pulled out his Ultra Hammer & reflected it back. As they jumped across the pillars, they were focused on also reflecting this one ball of electricity.
Luigi finally decided to overload it with electricity, & blast it towards Zero, who reflected it with the Guard Shell.
This horrified Luigi, as a massive ball of electricity speeds towards him. But, he pulled out the Ultra Hammer, & nailed it. He pushed as hard as he could. Zero decided to charge his Z-Buster to slow Luigi's progress.
However, Luigi managed to fire it back at Zero.
"Fuck!" Zero shouted, firing his shots, which only powered up the blast, & it collided with him.
"Yeah! Luigi numb--- GAH!!"
Luigi was blasted with the homing missile from earlier, sending him somersaulting forwards. Trees were incinerated within the vicinity immediately.
(Music stops)
Smoke clears. Zero & Luigi are both standing up against one another once again, which shocked them both. They thought the other was dead.
Luigi jumped back & used the Rock Mushroom, while Zero prepared himself for Luigi's attack by pulling out Double Tooth. Luigi began rolling towards Zero, who used Splitting Slash, Luigi being unaffected, & slamming into Zero. They crashed through 16 trees before Zero managed to escape the rolling boulder rampage, where Luigi left his boulder form & looked back to see Zero...
He was gone...
Until, a laser of light blasted Luigi back, causing him to lose his Power-Up. Luigi jumped back to his feet, & dodged the next light laser. More & more began raining down, incinerating trees & everything else that gets hit. Luigi, narrowly dodging them, looks for Zero on the tree tops, by jumping along them as the light lasers incinerate everything behind him.
Finally, he sees him, & karate chops the tree, causing it to fall with Zero, who lands unscathed. Luigi then uses a Tanooki Leaf, becoming Kitsune Luigi. Zero then uses the Flame Saber, slashing fire across the gtround, making it harder to maneuver.
"Ha! Try getting past this, plumb-scum!" Zero taunts. Kitsune Luigi then flies over it.
"...ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!" Zero asks aloud. Zero then punches the ground, & an explosion enveloped the nearby landscape, including Luigi. After the explosion, Zero looked for Luigi, & seen a statue of him.
(Music stops)
"Really? Where'd he go?" Zero asked himself, walking right past the statue. Kitsune Luigi then reverted from statue form to normal form, & rapidly smacked Zero with his tail from behind, launching him through a tree.
Suddenly, darkness erupted from the rubble. Zero was now, well, black.
"Alright plumber. I think it's time for you to say goodbye for one last time. Ready? TOO SLOW!!" Nightmare Zero, now using the Σ Blade, said, impaling Kitsune Luigi, causing him to lose his Power-Up. Nightmare Zero threw Luigi across the ground.
"Your worthless. It immediately saddens me that I actually went into this form to counter you like this." Zero taunted, laughing.
(Music stops)
Luigi got up slowly.
"Y'know..." he began, "I normally don't like to do this to enemies. I find it really mean to do..." Luigi continued.
"But, you've forced me to do this."
(Cue ~ The Grand Finale - Remix)
Luigi was then surrounded by an aura of electricity, & he Super Jump Punched Nightmare Zero into the sky, then struck him with lightning.
Nightmare Zero shrugged it off, & flew at Luigi, & jabbed the Σ Blade forward, making a water thrust. Luigi effortlessly dodged, then jumped into the sky as Nightmare Zero flew upwards, & Luigi clobbered him with a Star Pound, sending him crashing into the ground, making a huge crater, knocking down 7 trees in the process. Luigi landed & ran at Nightmare Zero, who then used Ittouryoudan, sending the powerful waves at the green-capped plumber.
Luigi jumped aside from them, dodging both, then smashed a Smash Ball in his hands, & activated the Negative Zone when he got close to Nightmare Zero. Nightmare Zero was dizzy, yes, but he managed to stay in control. Luigi did punt him out of the Negative Zone though, but he was poisoned anyway.
Nightmare Zero then landed a slash on Luigi as he came running towards him, then uppercutted him in ice. He slashed the ice, forcing Luigi airborne. He then jumped upwards to grab Luigi, but before he knew anything else, Luigi punched him in the head, sending him skidding across the ground.
Nightmare Zero got up, & was about to attack, but was then blasted by ice from the Poltergust 5000, freezing him solid. Luigi then blasted the ice with the strongest lightning bolt he could muster up, shattering the ice, sending Nightmare Zero soaring backwards.
Luigi came running at him again, but this, time, Nightmare Zero was ready. Nightmare Zero then slashed across Luigi's chest, sending him back onto the ground, using the Soul Saber.
(Music stops)
The two get up, losing their energy, so no electricity continued to flow through Luigi, & Nightmare Form wore off. The two were exhausted at this point. But they needed to keep going.
(Cue ~ Divine Identity) - Skip to 1:03...
Luigi & Zero slowly approach each other. Zero tries to slash Luigi, but he dodges, & round-house kicks Zero's back, sending him stumbling forward.
Zero uses the Chain Rod in an attempt to grapple Luigi, & succeeds, then pulls Luigi closer, then attempts to slash him, but, before he knew it, Luigi dodged, & socked him in the face. Zero stumbled backwards, & Luigi then punched the crystal on Zero's forehead.
(Music stops)
Zero falls to the ground... He was dead.
K.O.![]
Luigi then walks away, in hopes of finding Mario again.
Conclusion[]
Boomstick: HOLY SHIT, THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
Wiz: Now, I know what a lot of you are thinking. How the hell did Luigi win, right? That's a simple question to answer. While initially, it's an extremely close fight. These two are equal in destructive capacity, & durability. Then Zero was far smarter. However, these are the only advantages he had. Luigi trumped physical strength, speed, & had a deadlier line-up of moves. While Zero's do help him quite a bit in this fight, & he'd probably take unpredictability, Luigi's were, overall, more deadly. His power with elements trumps anything Zero's been known for, & Luigi was also more skilled in hand-to-hand combat, not to mention him having less weaknesses.
Boomstick: But Wiz! How did Luigi manage to avoid so many attacks?
Wiz: Glad you asked. As we showed in Luigi's analysis, he's able to control time & space. With this power, you can bend time to your will. Take Bill Cipher for example. The reason he can teleport? Control over time & space. Luigi could halt time if he really needed to, & that also countered Dark Hold, rendering it useless.
Boomstick: Then, well, Luigi's faster than time. Superior to Mario's jumps, who traveled through time with it. Honestly, being faster than time makes you faster than anything that moves. Zero may be able to move at 1,000x faster than light, but it still takes 51 billion years for light to go from one side of the Universe to the other, so Luigi's instantaneous movement far exceeds Zero's MFTL speeds.
Wiz: Next, how did Luigi counter Nightmare Zero? Simple. None of Zero's stats get multiplied by two when he transforms. Luigi's already faster & stronger. While Nightmare Zero might be slightly more durable & be able to fly, well, Luigi controls lightning. Luigi practically still had more of the playing field. Plus, his Power-Ups were quite handy in these situations.
Boomstick: Let's chalk that up: Super Mario Bros. - 1. Mega Man X - ZERO.
Wiz: The winner is Luigi.
