recollection-collection asked: Foz, I just discovered the video of "man punches kangaroo in the face to save his dog". Has - has humanity finally evolved enough to compete with Australia's crazyass wildlife???
Sadly, it has not. That man was LUCKY - kangaroos do “box” with each other, but their paws don’t hit as hard as a human fist, so the ‘roo was startled enough at being punched that he could get away. But, oh boy, if it HAD retaliated, that man would’ve been fucking WRECKED, because if a ‘roo that big decides to go back on its tail and kick you with intent? Yeah, you’re probably going to end up in hospital.
Think of it like this: by punching the ‘roo, the man did the IRL equivalent of casting Confusion on a strong Pokemon in order to rescue a weaker one from battle. Given the ‘roo’s stats, it was a gamble to think Confusion would actually work, but in this case, it did, and so the man was able to grab his doge and escape the encounter. But as a tactic to actually beat the ‘roo and thus emerge victorious from unarmed combat? HELL no. There is not an Ultra Ball strong enough.
