KMC Olympics: The Javelin Toss

We have five registered characters for this event, and the brackets are as follows.

The javelin toss:
War III
Kratos III
Samus II
Yoshi II
Mario II

Link I
Dante I
Tomba I
Donkey Kong I
Wario I
Alex Mercer I
Sargeras I

The Javelin toss rules are:
-All characters are the same size, to prevent unfair advantages. This means no giant size for Kratos, for example.
-No special powers. Physical strength and technique are everything here.
-Each javelin used by each character is the exact same.
-Each character gets one toss, with a running start. They have up to 100 meters to start.
-They character /must/ throw the javelin before they cross the distance line, but is not disqualified for running over it. (So Samus can use her speed booster and not worry about having to stop suddenly, for example.)
-Samus' suit is allowed, as it's technicly part of her, and I don't believe she stands a chance without it.

Samus can stop the Speed Booster on a dime, so I don't think that's much of a problem. She does have superhuman strength as, well. However, I don't think she's ever really thrown anything.

She's thrown what I think is a space pirate about twenty to thirty feet in the trailer for Metroid: The Other M. That's her best throwqing feat that I know of. The Speed booster will help a lot though. Imagine someone who can throw a space pirate a good distance with one arm running at super-sonic speed and tossing a javelin.

Imho, the one to beat is Yoshi. I can see him taking gold.

In Yoshi's Island for SNES, he fights a giant Bowser, the largest ever seen in gaming. This Bowser is so huge he hogs the horizon from miles away. Yoshi, with an egg can knock him on his ass, by tossing it. 😐

I'm saying Yoshi or Mario. Mario might not have fantastic technique for this, but if he jumped to get some height it might help his throw. And he is pretty strong.

I don't think you're allowed to jump in javelin tossing.

That's not in the rules.

This is quoted from Wiki so take it for what it's worth to you. I don't know how reliable you find them, but I've never seen someone jump while throwing.

Unlike the other throwing events (shotput, discus, and hammer), the technique used to throw the javelin is dictated by IAAF rules and "non-orthodox" techniques are not permitted.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are KMC rules.Reality need not apply.

Then again, how far do you think a javelin travelling at supersonic speeds would go?

ScreamPaste, judge this. Can Mario jump or not?

I wouldn't think it's special powers. It's just a jump and he happens to be strong enough to jump that high.

Hm.. I'll say no jumping, simply because Samus's could hack. The speed booster has a stop, then jump function that she could abuse to get a perfect 45 degree launch.

I'd also agree Mario's jumping is not a special power, but indeed a physical characteristic.

But yeah, no jumping, for the same reason I disallowed Kratos giant form. 😛 unfair height advantages.

K. Then Yoshi wins.

I say Kratos.

Cause I can. 'eff Mario.

Gold: War
Silver: Yoshi
Bronze: Samus/Alex Mercer

Only the top five in italics are competing, D19. 😛

I'm curious what War has over Yoshi, though?

I guess I vote for Kratos, motherbitches.

Gold: War
Silver: Yoshi
Bronze: Samus

And Paste, I'm giving it to him because the sheer amount of force he put behind his blows was staggering. Plus he was tossing cars 30 stories straight up with no effort.

Although Yoshi knocking that giant Koopa on his ass was awesome, crazy strength/throwing/accuracy feat.

Gold: Kratos/War
silver: Mario
bronze: Link

Link isn't competing, Phanteros 😛

I'm just gonna throw this out there, but throwing an egg hard enough to send a giant who's taking up the horizon reeling backward is pretty intense.

Imho:
Gold: Yoshi
Silver: Kratos
Bronze: Samus
