look, the last thing i want from ZSS supporters is this:
Evidence that having some muscle will truly slow down falcon to a crippling rate compared to Samsu, who from pics doesnt show tone or musculature of any significance herself. And that 100% of the time, like you say, she will beta him in melee combat.
This includes if he say, grapples and breaks a bone on her, she tries to grapple and do the same, he (pawnch)es her, she punches him, he kick her, she kicks him, etc, etc.
would he really, honestly be that stupid-slow, when he clearly shouldnt be due to his fitness and experience in combat?
I'll tell you the truth, without bias and exagerations.
Toned muscles and bulky muscles have the same force behind them because one has more speed and the other has more weight.
Samus's punches and kicks would not be stronger than him's.
But there is still several advantages toned muscles have over bulky muscles.
First of all, speed and flexibility. This is the most significant advantages of all. Bodybuilders are not going to be ultra slow, but they won't gain any speed either. They are as fast as your average person because their muscles are trained to carry weights, not to increase mobility.
Toned people have greater flexibility because of their small, lean shape and for a reason stated in the third point.
Second: Endurance. Having huge, bulging muscles put a great deal of strain on your heart, which greatly diminishes the flexibility it has and therefore it is more difficult to send oxygen to your body. This makes you tire out more easily and faster than people with toned muscles.
Toned people does not have such problems because their lean muscles do not impede circulation in any way because of their smaller size.
Third: lean muscles have more functional mass than bulky muscles. Building your muscles to be ultra bulky makes as much sense as tying a lot of of heavy junk on your bicycle. Toned muscles train the core of your muscles, the functional part without creating extra, useless cells. (extra cells that increase the bulk and are produced by bodybuilding.)
To put it simply, a bodybuilder creates many micro injuries produced by their weight lifting that are latter patched up by a number of cells, that then add up and increase the bulk of your muscles. These new cells do not really contribute to your strenght and only makes you more heavy.
On the other hand, athletes train their core muscles, the functional part, without adding that additional bulk that really weights them down. That's why athletes are better at sports and in physical activities than bodybuilders. They increase their strenght and speed by increasing the efficiency of their core muscles.
And this efficiency shows up with the ability to do greater physical feats than bodybuilders, who are really not THAT stronger than an average person.
How does this affect the MU? Well, first of all, Samus is going to be dodging a lot more hits than Captain Falcon, she will rack up damage faster because of her speed, she is going to endure more physical activity than him because of her healthy heart and she will have similar strenght.
The only advantage Captain Falcon has its the increased resistance to hits because of his bulk, but then again, he is going to get hit more and he will not last as long as Samus because of his weaker heart. In short, his superior defense is nullified.
Samus wins at melee because bodybuilders do not train to do physical activities, they train to be bigger and look good.
At range? Electrolasers kill, lasers don't. Its as simple as that.
