I'm Aipom and today I'm here to determine who between these two characters could win a match of Fiction V. Fiction.

## Fox McCloud

(Cue: Corneria - Star Fox - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Music Extended)

Studying at Cornerian Flight Academy, young Fox McCloud was a pilot prodigy and son to James McCloud, a fox with a really cool name and founder of a team of mercenaries known as Star Fox. Alongside Pigma and Peppy. But on one faithful mission, the trio went to the planet called Venom to investigate the planet's empire and their new leader, Andross. Buuuut, Pigma betrayed Star Fox and killed James. Because the Cornerian government wasn't doing anything about James' death, Fox took matters into his own hands and dropped out of the academy to create a new team with Peppy, alongside fellow drop-outs, Slippy and Falco. Together, they made a new team that would be known across the universe, still called Star Fox.

Fox uses the Arwing for aerial combat. The Arwing has twin plasma lasers that Fox can endlessly fire. He also has nine smart bombs, which can take out an entire squadron in just one shot. And whenever Fox does one of his famous barrel rolls, the Arwing creates a reflector shield. The Arwing also has four-advanced G-Diffusers to reduce gravity and makes it easier for Fox to fly. But also to make sure Star Fox members can fly around space while spinning around without any diffuculties, Fox and gang amputated their legs and replaced them with cybernetics. Hard-fucking-core.

Not all missions can use the Arwing though. So whenever Fox has a mission on foot, he carries around his trusty blaster pistol. It's been modified over the years, but it can be spammed and charged up for a more powerful shot. Fox also carries around a reflector and a booster pack. His reflector shield can block projectiles but he can't move while using it, and the booster pack allows for mid-air combat.

These allow Fox to manipulate his own gravity, allowing for Fox to use the speedy Fox Illusion and the Fire Fox. Don't know how these allow Fox to set himself on fire but whatever works.

Fox is a skilled fighter, and shows this off by willingly going on missions solo. Even when he's going on a planet populated by dinosaurs. He's taken down imperial troops with ease, blow holes through steel walls, take hits from Falco, and overpowered the strongest lightfoot.

But if a situation gets a bit too much on land, Fox can always call upon his Landmaster. The Landmaster can fire lasers more powerful than the Arwing, which could break apart asteroids. Considering the sizes of real life astroids, the Arwing's canon power should be at least 11.83 teratons of TNT. For reference, that's enough power to destroy a country, and the Landmaster should be superior to this.

The Arwings were upgraded overtime though, being listed to have the strongest firepower in the Lylat system. Which came in helpful when Fox had to fight Andross when he was amplified by the Krozoa spirits when he was gonna destroy the Lylat System, which is a system of stars and planets. Hell, the Krozoa spirits could keep a planet together by themselves.

The Arwing is also listed to being able to fly at Mach 4.2, and Fox can react at these speeds. Even then, the Arwing can travel faster than light, being able to travel to alternative sectors in a few seconds.

Fox is far from a pushover though, even without the Arwing. Even Falco admits that Fox has gotten more skilled than him. He's a master at space combat, melee combat, and Melee combat. He's single-handedly went into the Arapoids base and took them all down, helped Starlink beat Grax, killed Andross twice, killed a clone of Andross, defeated Star Wolf several times, survived the dinosaur filled planet known as Sauria, and ended the Aparoid Invasion.

Though as ironic as it is, Fox isn't as cunning as a fox. He's a bit more reckless, letting others do the thinking for him. He also has a bad habit of shoot first, ask later.

But regardless, time and time again, Fox has proven himself capable of leading the second generation of Star Fox, the greatest commando team in the galaxy. The galaxy's safe when in the hands of the one and only, Fox McCloud!

## Rocket Raccoon

(Cue: Rocket Raccoon Theme | Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Extended OST)

Centuries ago, a group of alien humanoids settled on the largest planet in the Keystone Quadrant star system. They built a complex for the insane to be treated in. But when their funding was cut, they decides to abandon the project and built robots to provide for the insane and made an impenetrable force field around the quadrant, separating it from the rest of the galaxy.

One day, a star went nova and somehow, the radiation gave the robots conscious thought. Naturally, they didn't want to be servants to the humanoids that they started to call Loonies. The robots started making a massive robot to use to leave the planet and to watch over the Loonies after they leave, they decided to take the animals that were left as companions for the Loonies and genetically engineered them, giving them human intelligence and awareness. The robots moved to the other side of their planet to build their escape ship and make a city, while leaving the animals and Loonies on the other half that was still brimming with nature. One of the animals that was engineered on would become one of the most known protectors of the galaxy, Rocket Raccoon.

Rocket use to be a service animal for an old war veteran before being taken away to be engineered on. Afterwards, he became a ranger to watch over the Loonies. After an encounter with the not-so-jolly-green-giant, going through a war on the planet, and ending said war, Rocket was given a leave off of the planet. Rocket accepted this leave and went off to other planets, often finding himself in trouble, but also finding a best friend in a living tree named Groot, as well as becoming one of the founding members of space's best protectors, the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Being a raccoon, Rocket has an acute sense of smell and superior hearing compared to humans. He also has sharp eyesight, being adopt in the dark. He can detect water in pipes and perceive subtle sounds caused by vibration on the ground. His hyper sensitive paws can even allow him to identify objects with vibration located above his claws before touching an object.

And thanks to the genetic engineering, Rocket is highly intelligent. He can understand and speak multiple languages, like Groot's. Who can only say " I am Groot". And he uses his intelligence in very responsible ways... By making destructive weapons!

His most simple weaponry like his pistols can blow up cars and blow through stone walls. He has gas grenades, a jetpack, a jet glider with missiles within missiles, an electric gun that can be hidden in a smaller form, a sonic gun, and a stupidly large cannon. But his main and favorite weapon is his Laser Cannon.

But when simple laser pistols isn't doing enough, Rocket can pull out the big guns. His cannon can switch to a stun mode and his Rampart Arms Phasic Cannon could make Thanos surrender. Hell, some of his guns could even harm Thanos. You know, the guy that was unharmed by The Living Tribunal's energy projection. And the Hadron Enforcer he made was stated to be able to destroy entire moons. He even has grenades that could blow up a large Font.

Rocket himself isn't a pushover, however. He's dodged bullets, survived an energy blast from Ultron-Warlock, tanked a hit from Sam Alexander, have defeated assassin clowns, and is still pretty agile while carrying large guns. He's also been stated to be a tactical genius.

Though Rocket does usually rely on his arsenal for battle. And he's usually partnered up with Groot in battles, though he's not useless by himself. And even though he's an intergalactic hero, Rocket does find himself in dangerous situations sense he likes to steal top of the market tech, whether to use himself or sell for a good price.

But even though Rocket has proven to be an often troublemaker, he's proven just as much that he's earned his spot on the Guardians of the Galaxy, saving the universe and even other dimensions. But when Rocket is around, you should know to never mess with the Guardians of the flarking Galaxy!

Fox: I need that gem you have there. It's for a mission.

(Rocket chuckles a bit to Fox's comment)

Rocket: Yeah, right! You know how much trouble I had to go through to get this baby? No way I'm just handing it over.

Fox: Alright, then I'll just be taking it from you then.

Rocket: Heh. I'd like to see you try!

(Fox leans forward a bit before lunging forward so fast that he couldn't be seen, doing the Fox Illusion)

Fox: Huh? Fall?

(Rocket quickly throws a gas grenade at Fox, hitting him)

(When Fox lands, he falls onto a pressure plate that causes an arrow to fire from the wall)

(Luckily for Fox, he's able to avoid the arrow)

(But the grenade lands on the ground, going off and filling the hallway with gas)

Fox: Hyah!

(Cue: Star Fox - OST - Boss Macbeth)

(Rocket runs up the stairs, putting the gem in his pocket)

## Results

(Cue: Guardians Of The Galaxy OST - "Ain't No Mountain High Energy")

K.O!

(One of Fox's boots fly out from the explosion and crash on the ground, and Rocket calls Groot to bring the ship so he can sell the gem)

Rocket always had a thing for blowing up moons. Glad he finally got to fulfill that dream. But while Fox was a beast in Melee, that just wasn't the case here.

This matchup was surprisingly a lot closer than expected. Fox and Rocket are both similar in terms of their physical capabilities. Even their basic weaponry are pretty similar in their destructive capabilities.

Their speed is a slightly different story. Fox can react fast enough to pilot the Arwing, which is stated to be able to fly up to Mach 4.2. While the Arwing can move at faster than light speeds, Fox isn't exactly needing to pilot the ship at these times. Rocket's reaction and movement speed however isn't too far from that, however. Rocket has dodged bullets, and even reacted fast enough to deflect a rocket. To be able to pull off these feats, Rocket would have to be moving between Mach 2 and Mach 3, making Rocket not that much slower then Fox's reaction speeds.

You can even argue that Rocket is just as well trained as Fox, with Fox's pilot training and Rocket being a ranger. Rocket also defiantly has more experience than Fox, with all the missions the Guardians of the Galaxy, and even just Rocket and Groot, goes on. Rocket's tactics and enhanced senses also gave him an edge and better control of the battlefield.

But we all knew that their physical advantages really mattered here. This came down to their big guns. Let's start with Fox. We know that the Arwing is at the very least of country destroying feats. According to NASA, real life astroids do vary in size, so we'll be taking the lower end size to be safe. We're also taking this size in consideration when comparing it to the size of the Arwing in game. Don't worry, it won't matter as much in a bit. Considering the size of these astroids and distance they were from the Arwing, the bare minimum the Arwing is capable of is 11.82 teratons of TNT. And the Landmaster is listed to be stronger than the Arwing.

But remember Andross? The Arwing could defeat him after he had the power of the Krozoa spirits. The spirita themselves could hold together planets . And Andross was gonna use amped power to destroy Lylat system, which is a solar system. It's even been called the Lylat Solar System. Andross him was even about as big as a planet when he had this power. And sense the Arwing could defeat him, and the Landmaster is stronger than the Arwing, this puts Fox's best weaponry at solar system.

Now for Rocket. The Hadron Enforcer was stated to be able to destroy entire moons, as in plural. To blow up a single moon, it takes at least 29.6 exatons of TNT. But because it states moons and not just a moon, we can assume it can destory at the very least 2 moons. Considering we're taking the bare minimum for this feat, the Hadron Enforcer's firepower is worth 59.2 exatons of TNT. And before you say that this was in the movies and shouldn't count, Rocket has destroyed moons in the comics before, so the Hadron Enforcer isn't out of the question.

But Rocket has also harmed Thanos in the past. And while it's important to note that Thanos was in a weakened state and attacked by multiple people, just the Rampart Arms Phasic Cannon could take down Thanos at only a quarter of it's power. And again, he was in a weakened state. But being able to harm the man that was unphased by the likes of multiple Marvel Gods is still impressive.

And being able to harm space Grimmis here puts Rocket's weaponry above Fox's. It doesn't help for Fox either that Rocket has a plethora of weapons with different capabilities that could keep Fox at bay long enough for Rocket to get that shot to put McCloud down for good.

Fox did put up a good fight with his speed, training, and Arwing. However, Rocket had the experience, insane weaponry, and the destruction fire power he needed to take the fantastic Fox down.

Fox just couldn't secure an Ar-win.

The winner is Rocket Raccoon!
