KMC Olympics: The Javelin Toss
We have five registered characters for this event, and the brackets are as follows.
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.

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.
He probably meant SC's rules.
Mario's jumping ability qualifies as 'special powers' though.

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.

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.
