- There may be SPOILERS from all of the games the characters are from.

Little Mac is as seen in Punch Out!! for Wii and SSB4 (minus game mechanics). In the context of this fight, he can use his Star Uppercut technique as freely as he wants, so long as the opening presents itself. Alucard has broken his left leg.

~VS~

Alucard is as he appears through the second castle of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. He is equipped with the Cross, has access to his best non-broken equipment and relics up to that point, and does not have the Shield Rod or his intro equipment. He has the Mist relic, but no Mist time extension or poison. The only familiar he has with him is the Bat, which summons more bats to help Alucard when he transforms.
---

Alucard, cunning as he is, foresaw that this match would happen TWO WEEKS AGO and planned to break Little Mac's leg from then to gain the upper hand in this boxing match.

All according to the plan.
---

Bah GAWD has he no soullll
---

Mac is a boxer. He's fought scarier dudes than this and come out on top because he's a scrapper and a champion. He'll take a licking and keep on ticking, one leg or two!

but I am going to have to talk with Jack Tunney about this miscarriage of justice making mah boi fight right after Alucard broke his leg! That should be a DQ!
---

Alucard

Pretty cut and dry
---

he's also had a chance to train with mega man using soul steal!!
---

Alucard uses soul steal to make up for what he lacks bah gawd... to fill that void in his BLACK HEARTTT
---

Alucard slips his diamond knuckles under his gloves and pummels the crippled mac into a pulp

Alucard
---

Well, it was a good run.
Alucard
---

Mac clearly has experience fighting with one limb. The Bruisers in Super Punch Out can break your arms at will, he turns out fine

Super Punch Out notably doesnt star little mac
---

Now when you say "broken" do you mean "shattered", or "splintered, but in a semi-functional state"?
---

Alucard stomps. no vote tho
---

Alucard

The Plan wins again
---

Alucard

Mac's arms are too short to box with The Plan
---

does alucard fight hand to hand? ever?
---

Who are you to doubt the Kaiser Knuckle, the Kaiser Knuckle +1, the Fist of Tulkas?
---

Alucard
---

He doesn't even have to.

Mac just has to like fall down 3 times in a round to lose by tko

yeah, knuckles/gloves are a type of weapon in SotN and while using them Alucard punches

This

I know Mac's badly injured but can Alucard box, period?

Like I take a Rocky Balboa with a broken leg over Dumbledore in a boxing match. Is that what we have here?
---

Yes, among his available weapon options are Knuckle Dusters and the Fist of Tulkas in SotN

Which basically give you ATATATATATA Kenshiro punch spam for Alucard's jabs.
---

That wily Genya Arikado
---

Yeah but he gets no weapons here so no brass knuckles
---

Alucard can punch as his standard attack too
---

So youre going with "in gameplay, he cannot punch unless hes wearing gloves or knucles and therefore cannot punch while wearing boxing gloves"
---

Boxing gloves in SotN would clearly be a punch weapon though. Probably a joke one.

Of course not, but he can't actually ATATATATATA unless he's wearing his special punch gloves. Otherwise all he does is puny jabs
---

Still not really swayed toward Alucard

Not swayed toward Mac either.

They both kind of suck here

he got this
---

Like I am physically capable of punching but if I go against a professional boxer, broken leg or not, I'm probably going to lose.

Alucard can punch but from what I know of him that's not really something he typically does, unless he has super special knuckles?
---

Yeah going Mac here

broken leg or not, the boxing ability gap here is too massive to ignore

for what it's worth, Tifa would've beaten him here though
---

I don't think Alucard can box, yes he can use his fists but boxings a different thing altogether, but considering his opponent is down a leg... I think he'll manage just fine.

Alucard
---

Tifa could've beaten him with both legs
---

start trainin' and MAKE A COMEBACK
---

"Everyone's got a plan until they get a broken leg" - Mike Tyson (paraphrased)
---

did I lose? I think I lost

stupid stuff listed in places I didn't think to look

throw in the towel on the boxin'
---

well, what I know is that in boxing, your footwork is incredibly important. Mac wins boxing fight topics because he's a boxer with impeccable boxing footwork, but he loses this with a broken leg. Also, every time he punches, like a boxer, he does it from his legs. Like stand up and trying punching with one leg and then notice the difference when you have both planted and moving into the punch; having a broken leg impacts his agility a ton and his punching power more than you think
---

tbh Alucard wins this regardless of how many broken or unbroken legs Mac has

Nah, he loses on points.
---

Yeah, no way I take Alucard if Mac's healthy
---

mac>alucard w/o a broken leg prob
---

Alucard's mist form would prove tricky for mac
---

Alucard.

Broken leg is less footwork, which Mac abuses the hell out of. And Alucard has mist form to dodge on top of that.
---

mist form

isn't that banned
---

Nope, just poison mist and the time extension version are. Wouldn't be any different from Great Tiger's illusions/teleporting, probably.
