One of the most fundamental laws of nature is that the strong shall nearly always persevere over the weak. And while even the strongest of creatures may fall to those who are smarter or more clever than they are, more often than not, brute force can solve the majority of their issues and allows them to become one of the best among their peers. And whether it's in the land of Equestria, or the distant Donkey Kong Island, it cannot be denied that today's powerhouses have proven time and again that their strength can pull them through nearly any challenge in their way. But who will prove their strength is superior? Today, we find out!

In the blue corner, we have Applejack from My Little Pony, and in the red corner, we have Donkey Kong from the series of the same name.

DK
My little ponyes applejack36
-This is a fight to the death or incapacitation. No holds barred.
-Neither character are aware of each other beforehand, and there is no prep time.

-Neither character are allowed outside help.

-This fight takes place on Donkey Kong Island, giving Donkey Kong the home-court advantage.

-This battle features "Donkey Kong" DK, and Base Applejack.

-Speed is equalized.

With all this being said, let the debate begin!

Banana Hoarder: 8 (Psychomaster35, ApiesDeathbyLazors, NoOneCanJustDeflectTheEmeraldSplash, Dusty Raider, Christian Higdon, CoconutDong, Ionliosite, Arrogant Schmuck)

Apple Hoarder: 1 (ZephyrosOmega)

Inconclusive: 0
 
Though DK's arsenal gives him an initial range advantage, his arsenal will run out eventually. A home field advantage can only do you so good

From what I'm understanding, Dashie's Rainboom is 3.33 times stronger than DK's moon punch. That and given the MASSIVE range advantage of the Rainboom vs a punch, plus that Rainbow Dash isn't just limited to one Rainboom, I'd say she pulls the win.
 
I mean, and I've pointed this out in other RD matches, wouldn't Rainbow Dash naturally want to fly up and start fighting DK at close range? That's usually her go-to strategy.

I'll count the vote anyway, but I wanted to point that out.
 
Well, yes. She would start by flying up close and personal, in which case it would likely only take one punch from DK to destroy her.

Sorry, used to thinking about this from a more Death Battle-esque standpoint.

I guess this is a really situational battle on whether or not she uses the Rainboom before she gets struck. .-.

Disregard my vote for now, sorry. I want to see what others say
 
It's only a 3.5-4X advantage. DK can still put up a fight here.

Given that power and strength monologue you set I feel like AJ might have been a more fitting option.

Oof, I think you may be right. (I know next to nothing about the series.) I'mma make a quick switch here.

Debate instead of going for personal insults
I don't even disagree that DK wins but using Autism as an insult isn't ok and this wiki doesn't take hate speech.

Most Bronies are autistic/mentally challenged tho
Anyways Donkey Kong via speed and ap

A) Speed is Equalized and Applejack has the AP advantage

B) Stop using Autism as an insult.
 
It really is true, though. She has approximately a 4X advantage over DK. Even saying 3X would be kinda lowballing it.
 
Because most of those Spongebob feats are considered gag feats and outliers. Like Patrick supposedly running to the sun and back.

But that's off topic, and I don't want this to be the place to talk about it.

alright Donkey Kong via durability even though AP is bullshit lets go with it

Applejack has higher AP than his durability tho. If you think that MLP characters should be downgraded, then by all means make a CRT.

And besides the gag feats & outliers, a lot of Spongebob feats that might be "City Level" or such are a lot lower than might be expected because of the literal small scale of the 'verse; When shown next to real life humans such as in some of the movies, main characters like Spongebob are tiny. Similarly, fish hooks are huge or close to their own size, Spongebob lives in a pineapple, & their actual species (For example, sea sponges & starfish) are quite small indeed. So what's a city or a mountain compared to them is much smaller than an actual city or mountain, & so has less matter, & takes less energy to destroy & such. Smaller scale, smaller yields of feats.

But that's off-topic.

On the topic of the match.... While DK might be weaker statistically, he seems to have some edges in versatility & some other stuff.

Applejack:

Stamina: Above Average (Can run the entire Running of the Leaves without showing wear in stamina)

Range: Standard melee range normally, several meters with lasso

Donkey Kong:

Stamina: Very high

Range: Standard melee range, can extend to tens of meters with Thunderclap.

He's apparently got a stamina advantage, and with his Thunderclap, he has better range than AJ with her lasso. Also, unlike AJ, DK can still use it if he gets rid of her lasso somehow. (Ex: If it's lost to a throw or such, destroyed in combat, somehow taken away.)

Also, how do his Telekinesis, Summoning, Energy Projection, & Time Manipulation work?

In terms of intelligence....

Intelligence: Above Average (Runs the whole farm and plans everything, her intellect thoroughly shown in her great planning skills and detail in the making of the Apple Family Reunion)

Intelligence: Despite being laid back, he can be surprisingly intelligent, as he is easily capable of replicating human skills such as professional athletics, utilizing a range of weapons and even has a grasp of morality.

AJ's intelligence apparently relates a lot to planning & running her farm, & planning family events. Might not be easily applicable in combat.

DK is pretty casual, usually, but given he'd apparently be outmuscled, he might be motivated to try harder. Although, just because he CAN replicate professional athletics, doesn't mean he'll think to employ them, or realize how to use them effectively, but they could help. He does know how to use weapons, & MIGHT understand how to work against a lasso.

Difficult to say who's intelligence is more useful.
 
Maybe it should be revised, then? What would you say his peaks & lows of intelligence would be? (Also, if he has DK Series only & Composite Keys, should he have multiple intelligence keys? Also I wonder what TV Series DK would be like, especially in terms of intelligence.... Does he fit into the composite?)
 
Okay, so AJ is stronger, more durable, smarter, and better lifting strength, but DK has better range, possibly more experience (scaling from Marios age), much better stamina, and better abilities. Once DK goes into Strong Kong, it would be all over for AJ since she has no way of harming him due to his invulnrability. Even when he runs out of his equipment, his thunderclap should be able to be his alternate. Voting DK.
 
I always got the immpression DK was at least a competent fighter so he's likely much more skilled then AJ, plus his somewhat better versitility I think DK takes this.
 
DK most likely has considerable experience. Even when he's first (known) to be drawn out to combat the Kremlings, he does it pretty effectively and has also been shown performing punches, kicks, slams and numerous other techniques that show he most likely is pretty versed in fighting.

That said, DK FRA.

Really? A MLP thread and I completely missed it? How? Whatever, I do not feel like making an entire thread just to argue old points. I'll just use this one and see if I get a bite.

What good is range when the other guy scales to people more than three times as strong as you as a literal child? A gun won't save my ass if I'm up against Kid Goku before he knew how to ki blast.

Yeah, uh-huh, so I'm sitting here wondering how this is an actual advantage? Seriously, this has got to be the most generic "advantage" I've ever seen someone given. What does it actually do to help fight a pastel horse?

I don't know what constitutes "very high" for Donkey Kong, but Applejack's stamina should be immensely higher than what it is."Above average" frankly doesn't do it justice. Honestly, unless they're fighting One Piece style where everyone exchanges punches for days on end, who really cares?

Now that I think of it, how did I even miss that? I never caught her stamina before and I usually notice this stuff. Weird.

Literally says on his profile that he A: Needs to jump into a barrel to do that and B: That it lasts for a few seconds (Or as long as he has crystal coconuts).

Now, unless I'm missing something, that doesn't sound like something he can just "do". Maybe the limitations on the profile are wrong or something, but that's on you to change that so the profile is reflective on that.

Oh boy, here we are again with another "advantage" that isn't explained properly. I hate when people do this. What does the move even do? Is there anything special about it that keeps Applejack from just tanking it? Is it just a normal shockwave? I don't know, you didn't explain.
