Team Fortress 2 vs Street Fighter, which two Military men will be successful in displaying their loyalty, discipline, professionalism, fighting spirit, ethics and care for soldiers in a military style battle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92H3Mscg7QQ

<Cue: Invader Theme>

Toomi: The Soldier, crazed, jingoistic patriot from Midwest, USA,

Megumi: And Guile, the major in the United States Air Force,

Toomi: These two patriots have an undying loyalty for their country to the point they will do whatever it takes to defeat those who opposes the safety of their country,

Megumi: And these two are really recognizable in more than one way! She's Sachi, Toomi and I'm Megumi.

Sachi: And it's our job to analyse their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle

<Cue: American Soldier by Toby Keith>

Toomi: The era was the 1940s. The peak of World War II. And for a young man known only as Jane Doe, this meant the perfect opportunity to join the American Army. However, he was rejected by all military branches. Literally every single one.

Megumi: So he gave the finger to restrictions and flew to the war himself! After finding Poland, he taught himself how to fire and load guns and went on a Nazi killing spree, slaughtering all who stood against him and being awarded medals that he made and designed himself! Clearly he should get an award for dedication to his country!

Sachi: But upon the war ending in 1949, just as soon as Jane's slaughterfest had began, it suddenly ended. But this would not prove to be the end of his fighting career.

Toomi: Despite not being an actual Soldier - or at least, not a properly trained one - the aging Redmond Mann decided that he would be the perfect candidate to be one of nine mercenaries to be put to the test in the feud against his brother, Blutarch, over the land of the Gravel Pits. And his brother just so happened to hire the exact same people, but in blue. Whoops.

Megumi:  With Jane back on the warpath, he got back to grips with his former ways, and its his skills and weaponry that earned him the mercenary title of The Soldier!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h42d0WHRSck

Soldier: Maggots!

Toomi: His trademark weapon is his rocket launcher, supposedly a heavily customized and stylized RPG-7 that fires 4 rockets at one time and has a total of 20 overall. The rockets from this weapon launch at a constant speed of 1100 Hammer Units a second, which roughly translates to 47 miles per hour, or 21 meters a second.

Sachi: To compare, the RPG-7 grenade launcher, the weapon that the Soldier's launcher is based off of, has an inital launch speed of 294 meters a second. Comparing the two speeds means that the Soldier's rocket launcher is 14 times slower than its real-life counterpart

Megumi: But the speed of these rockets make them no less lethal! While they do suffer from damage falloff over distance, a single rocket is capable of popping any foe in the air regardless of size or weight, and can blow up most standard enemies in two or three shots.

Toomi: However, the rocket launcher is far from Soldier's only weapon. When the time does not quite call for making chunks of meat out of another person, he whips out his sawed-off pump action shotgun, useful for when his rocket launcher is out of ammo or requires reloading in a tight spot.

Megumi:  It can shoot six times a clip, and holds 32 rounds worth of pain! And when he's REALLY up in someone's face, he pulls out his handheld flip-up shovel to smash his foes' faces in! See, it's not just for killing weeds, it does well for killing people as well!

Critical Chances

Toomi: Despite learning to fire a wide variety of guns in the midst of the Second World War, the Soldier hardly has much to defend himself with - three weapons is travelling light for someone who fought in a war. But despite this, the Soldier used his limited arsenal and revolutionized and possibly even invented a strategy so crazy it just might work.

Megumi: When Solly wants to get somewhere quick, he points down, fires, and does this!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TOeTy7Sb-I

<The Soldier is shown launching a rocket at his feet, performing a rocket jump.>

Megumi: Man, what a neat way to travel!

Toomi: This technique is known as rocket jumping, and utilises the rocket launcher's surprising lack of user lethality to hop into the air and gain extra mobility.

Sachi: The rocket jump technique allows him access to places even a Scout cannot get to and gives Soldier the opportunity to launch an air strike on unsuspecting foes. With a proper launch method he can propel himself well over 10 feet in the air with a single jump

Toomi: The Soldier still technically has one weapon left on his side... Luck.

Megumi: Wait what?

Toomi:  No, the Soldier's standard equipment, and by extension all standard equipment for both teams, have a random chance for a heavy-hitting attack. These are known as critical hits.

Megumi: Oh. Now I see.

Sachi: The critical chance is completely random and can occur at any time, although certain items and effects can force criticals to be fired.

Megumi: While normal projectiles suffer from damage fallout, critical shots don't, and deals roughly triple the damage that an ordinary shot would! When a crit projectile comes your way, you better fucking run away or else you'll be fried faster than a Thanksgiving turkey!

Feats

Has fought and bested the BLU Team for over ten years

Can punch a guy hard enough to send him flying across the room while snapping his neck in the process

Teleported bread for three days

Slaughtered 6,000 Nazis, and most likely civilians, in his World War 2 stunt despite having no military training and evading the authorities for four years after the war ended

Smart enough to make a functioning rocket launcher out of random junk

Able to fight robot mercenaries

Nonchalantly fights nude, covered in honey, and in the middle of the Siberian wilderness

Can snap the necks of bears easily

Mastered the rocket jump technique

Can blast himself with rockets and survive in order to do this

Able to recite quotes from the United States Marine Corps and Sun Tzu's The Art Of War off by heart or memory

Survives being banged by Zhanna, Heavy's sister who is as strong if not stronger than Soldier

Outsmarted Grey's robots by wearing a cheap disguise and created decoy facilities with MAN CO on them

Laughs while being thrown around by the Bread Monster

Survived the onslaught of Merasmus the Magician

Capable of both offense and defense

Accidently broke both of Scout's arms

Killed the Heavy, Demoman and Pyro with a single rocket each

Casually complains about the Pyro cutting his hand off

Capable of coming back from the dead due to the consumption of Merasmus' "Kill Me Come Back Stronger Pills" which should still work since Merasmus would have to kill his other teammates.

Toomi:  The Soldier is quite the survivor. Not only has he blasted away at the BLU Team for about a decade, but he is also man enough to even take on robot mercenaries made by Gray Mann, some of them many times bigger than he is!

Megumi: And for quite some time he had to be the roommate of Merasmus the Magician, and after things got hairy the Soldier had to suffer his wrath for over two years, having him and his team fight a giant eyeball and then Merasmus himself... and the Soldier's team won!

Toomi: However, despite his claims, he is not perfect. He's not exactly the smartest fighter, often relying on brute force and military instinct in a battle.

Sachi: Also, since there's no Medics allowed in this battle, he has to rely on health kits and ammo kits in order to keep a constant edge on his foes.

Megumi: And his love for being a soldier is so great he despises being called a civilian. And we have our author serving her Military service actually longing to return to the civilian world.

Weakness

Not very intelligent, mostly thanks to the lead water he drinks

He is illiterate

Is insanely hot blooded

Is obsessed with the decapitated heads of his enemies

Often relies on brute force and military instinct in battle

Damage of his rockets are a bit inconsistent

The most blood-thirsty of the TF2 Mercenaries

His head first mentality can make things worse

Rocket jumping deals damage to Soldier (except for Rocket Jumper)

Questionable mental stability

Slow on the ground

Distrusts anything that isn't American

Doesn't like being called a civilian

Toomi: His standard launcher can only allow him so many jumps before HE'S the one who gets dismembered, so he has to put these under moderation.

Sachi: And although he isn't nearly as intelligent as most other RED Team members, he is not completely stupid as most people would imply. At the same time, though, he can often be so one-track minded that he often overlooks important details while concentrating on a single objective

Megumi: So although war is a perilous task, as a fighting man and a class, the Soldier is prepared for anything, even if it would cost him his life. All in the name of himself and his team... and America.

Soldier: And from that day forward, any time a bunch of animals are together in one place, it's called a ZOO!

Guile Sonic Booms into What if Battles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZLxnX8etCY

<Cue: Soldier by NEFFEX>

Toomi: Before he became the man he is today, Guile was once a trainee in the United States Air Force, where he befriended Charlie Nash and was taught his unique fighting style.

Megumi: On a mission to find Charlie after he went missing, he ventured out to a fortress belonging to Shadaloo. Guile and Charlie had to set explosives around a source of power belonging to M. Bison known as the Psycho Drive

Sachi: Elsewhere, Ryu beat Bison and he regenerated into said Drive, at which point Charlie instructed Guile to escape to which Guile succeeded though Charlie did not and Bison survived

Megumi:  Believing that Bison for supposedly being the cause of the death of his best friend, he entered the second World Warrior Tournament in his quest for vengeance.

Toomi: Being in the army, Guile is proficient in army style unarmed combat along with some wrestling skills from his commanding officer, to which is impressive considering the fact he only learned it from one person.

Sachi: But he has pretty strong long-ranged attacks as well that Charlie taught him.

Megumi: The first is the Flash Kick, an anti-air move that keeps his foes at bay, and when it connects, it must hurt like a bitch! His other more famous move is known as the...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii6mXrVDtZU

Guile: Sonic Boom!

Megumi: This move is a basic projectile and is pretty much Guile's equivalent of the Hadouken. But when he charges this bad boy up, it can really cause serious damage! Unless it hits a wall. Or... anything, really.

Toomi: Actually, both the Sonic Boom and the Flash Kick require charging to use at their maximum effects. So despite being a powerhouse with powerful strikes and defense, he doesn't have many special moves to back himself up.

Sachi: However, over time he has adapted the use of both the Sonic Boom and the Flash Kick to develop two particular Combo moves to enhance his fighting. One of these moves is the Sonic Hurricane. It is much more powerful than a standard Sonic Boom but instead of pinpointing it into a ball of energy, Guile unleashes this attack with a whirlwind effect just a few feet in front of him, which can act as a shield of sorts.

Guile

Expert Martial Artist

Wrestling

Solid Puncher

Sonic Blade

Sonic Boom

Reverse Back Knuckle

Flash Kick

Sonic Hurricane

Sonic Tempest

Double Flash

Flash Explosion

Toomi: But his most deadly combo is the Flash Explosion, a series of three Flash Kicks, each dealing individual damage with multiple hits in the first two.

Megumi: He uses this combo to heavily damage foes to the point of near-knockout, or decimate football records!

Toomi: Despite the lackluster amount of applicable specials, he still has one more set of skills up his sleeve. See, each Street Fighter has his or her own unique moves, known as Unique Attacks, or Command Normals.

Sachi: Guile has five unique standard moves that he can use, most if not all of which have been passed on to or can be used by Charlie, and focus on dealing heavy damage at close range. The first is the Spin Back Knuckle, a 180 degree turn which backhands the opponent with a quick punch that can stun them briefly.

Toomi: And the Guile High Kick is a spinning high kick that can launch the opponent into the air to set up for a combo.

Megumi: As you can tell, Guile has all kinds of moves and a lot of power behind them. I mean, just a single Sonic Boom can blast someone away!

Sachi: True. He has fought against many strong Street Fighters such as the likes of Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, one of his rivals, Abel, and the supposed killer of his best friend, M. Bison.

Feats

One of the fastest Street Fighter characters

Has fought well with Bison before

Defeated Judo grappler Abel and Shadaloo doll Santamu

Can fight evenly against Vega and F.A.N.G.

Fought Charlie to a draw in a sparring match

Has assisted Chun-Li, Cammy, Ryu, and Ken in taking down Bison in a forest

Tanked Bison's suicide explosion (Which created a beam that reached space)

Managed to escape a crumbling Shadaloo base (Twice)

Rescued Chun-Li from a crumbling S.I.N. laboratory

Escaped a collapsing S.I.N. base

With the help of Rashid, Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Cammy, Laura, Decapre, Juri, Zangief, Karin, Ibuki, and R. Mika, finally managed put an end to Shadaloo

Managed to track down Charlie Nash

Managed to take down multiple Shadaloo thugs with a single Flash Kick

Capable of boarding and riding helicopters, motorcycles, and jets

Rescued Charlie from Necalli

Managed to restrain a Psycho-Powered Abel with the help of Charlie

Had a rivalry with wannabe dictator Rolento

With help from Chun-Li, Abel, and Cammy, Managed to take down S.I.N.

Toomi: And despite his fighting prowess and dealing deadly blows out a lot in these tournaments, he has successfully kept his family together for years, being the family man he tells everyone to be.

Megumi: He even became an Air Force Fighting Champion!

Toomi: Also, although he swore to the expired Charlie that he would make Bison pay, he never did quite manage to exact his revenge the way he wanted to. Having been beaten by Bison and even when the opportunity arrives, he never took it and Bison always comes back.

Sachi: And plus, whether Guile could even beat Bison canonically with his kind of skills is even questionable.

Weakness

Because of his hot-headedness, his fighting lacks proficiency and is too rigid

Beaten by a ressurrected Charlie

Betrayed in the jungles of Thailand

Needed help in defeating the bosses

Projectiles are quite slow and can easily be deflected by other projectiles, blocked, or jumped over

Toomi: And despite serving in the military, Guile has done questionable things to the point he has even gotten court martialed, which resulted in him being seen as a controversial figure by the general public.

Sachi: And his projectiles can be easily dodgeable. By simply jumping over a Sonic Boom, you are open to attack him

Megumi:  But perfect or not, it's hard to top this Sonic Booming champion!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv0Jb28bnJk

Guile: If I have a master...I assure you...it's not you!

Toomi: Alright, the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all.

Sachi: Don't forget to vote, comment what you think of the fight.

Megumi: Yeah, but right now, it's time for a Death Battle!

Fight

Texas Base

The RED base is shown as the afternoon sunshine lights up the battlefield. The mission for the RED Team is about to begin.

Announcer: 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Begin!

At this point, the gate opens and the nine RED mercenaries – Soldier included – begin to roll out for their mission. The Scout and Medic lead the team whereas the Soldier is at the back, the Heavy surging ahead. The team enter an enormous warehouse and are about to hit the control point area when suddenly...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGw8DWctAts

<Cue: Guile Theme>

???: Sonic BOOM!

A Sonic Boom flies across the air, striking the ground which creates a large explosion that sends everyone except Soldier flying.

KABOOM!!!

Soldier: What the?

Soldier turns to look, noticing a tall muscular man dressed in a Military vest and pants with his short blonde hair combed into a stereotypical military hairstyle.

Putting back his comb, Guile faces Soldier as he says.

Soldier: Any man comes at me airborne, I am turning into a meat cloud!

Guile: Go home and be a family man.

Guile raises up his hands, getting into a fighting stance as Soldier pulls out his rocket launcher.

Soldier: Locked and loaded.

Announcer: Fight!

Soldier points his rocket launcher before opening fire, sending a rocket flying towards Guile.

BOOM!!! FWOOSH!!!

Guile rolls underneath the rocket, dodging the projectile before throwing a Sonic Boom at Soldier.

Guile: Sonic Boom!

PIU!!!

Soldier: ARGHHHH!!!

The Soldier screams out in agony as the projectile struck onto him, sending him flying upwards into the air.

Guile then jumps up, grabbing Soldier before throwing him flat onto the ground.

THOOM!!!

As Soldier gets up, Guile thrusts his leg down, preparing to finish off The Soldier only for the latter to roll to the side, narrowingly dodging a fatal blow before throwing a punch across Guile's face.

WHAM!!!

Guile: Ngn!

As Guile stood there dazed, The Soldier takes out his shovel before swinging it at Guile, striking him across his body.

WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!!

The Soldier swings his shovel again, only for Guile to catch it midswing before slamming it back, breaking the shovel by smashing it straight into Soldier's forehead.

CRACK!!!

As The Soldier shakes his head, Guile attacks by punching him across his body.

WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!!

Guile then performs a Flash Kick.

Guile: FLASH KICK!!!

WHAM!!!

Soldier is sent up in the air, to which he recovered before pointing his rocket launcher at Guile, firing it down.

BOOM!!! FWOOSH!!!

The rocket struck right into Guile, causing him to go off in an explosion.

KABOOM!!!

Guile: WHOA!!!

As Guile is sent up flying, the Soldier takes his pickaxe, batting Guile away with a single swing.

WHAK!!!

Guile shuts his eyes as he was sent crashing backfirst into a crate.

CRASH!!!

The Soldier lands feet first onto the ground before drawing out his shotgun, loading it before running towards Guile.

As Guile pushes himself up, he looks left and forth before running to the side.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dNh_A34ulk

<Cue: Three Days to Live>

Both Soldier and Guile races through the battlefield, hiding through boxes after boxes, projectiles flying through the air.

BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!!

Guile: Sonic Boom! Sonic Boom! Sonic Boom!

Guile then hid behind a crate, feeling The Soldier behind him before delivering a hard kick, crashing through the crate.

CRACK!!!

The impact immediately sends The Soldier tumbling forward before Guile strikes him with the back of his knuckle.

WHAM!!!

Guile then performs another Flash Kick, sending The Soldier flying up into the air.

Guile: Flash Kick!

WHAM!!!

The Soldier drops onto the floor as Guile stood there, recombing his hair thinking he had won.

However, the fight is still far from over.

Taking out a health kit, The Soldier uses it to heal himself before taking out his rocket launcher and fires two rockets at Guile, one of which is a crit rocket

Guile notices it and he performs a Sonic Hurricane.

Guile: Sonic...Hurricane!

Forming a shield around him, both rockets bounces off the Sonic Hurricane before going off in a massive explosion.

KABOOM!!!

However, as the smoke clears, Guile widens his eyes in shock as The Soldier throws a grenade at him, causing him to go off in a massive explosion.

KABOOM!!!

Guile: ARGHHHHHH!!!

Guile screams in agony as he felt his body burning up.

The Soldier then takes out his shotgun, firing several shots at Guile.

BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!!

As blood began leaking out of his wounds, The Soldier pulls out his rocket launcher, pointing it at the injured Guile before smirking at him.

Soldier: I've got three words for you: U! S! A!

BOOM!!!

Guile could only watch helplessly as the rocket flies towards him, causing his entire body to go off in a massive explosion.

KABOOM!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzOAUeHjWgA

<Cue: Red Triumph!>

As Guile's remains splattered all across the floor, The Soldier stood up triumphantly, laughing out.

Soldier: I am a courage-filled machine of war!

KO!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHqXiXTZm20

<Cue: Love, Again by CHIHIRO>

Megumi: Well look at the bright side, Guile's finally reunited with Charlie.

Toomi: : This was a very close fight - Guile may be tough and powerful, but in the end, he could not compete with the Soldier's weaponry and ruthless skill.

Sachi: While Guile's Sonic Booms are powerful enough to launch a man off of his feet, but the Soldier's rockets can do the exact same thing while dealing much more damage, in both the standard and the Direct Hit variants.

Megumi: Guile may be a man who is faster and physically stronger, but the Soldier has fared far worse things than what Guile can do to him!

Toomi:  Don't believe us? Sure, Guile's Flash Explosion and Sonic Typhoon were his aces in the hole, and they can deal high damage to the mercenary, but the Soldier has dealt with damaging stuff like that before, and survived.

Sachi: He's been thrown at some considerable velocity into a wall by a bread monster, and survived without much noticeable harm. He's had his hand cut off and stayed off for quite some time and acted like it was no big deal. And he's able to go toe-to-toe with Merasmus the Magician who, despite being a wizard capable of all kinds of spells and unleashing eldritch abominations, is so wary of him to the point of wanting to call the police over him.

Megumi: And that's not even taking into account the fact that he blasts rockets at his feet regularly to do his rocket jumps! He's Tonka tough if ever I saw it!

Toomi: There's also the case of experience, as well. Although Soldier was never accepted by the military officially, him fighting in World War 2 and fighting in battles up to this very day shows he knows the ins and outs of combat for far longer than Guile.

Sachi: Despite Guile being stronger and faster on the ground than the Soldier is, the Soldier has more experience to take Guile on and has better options with deadlier results to keep the edge on him.

Toomi: Even his lack of intelligence isn't a factor when he's just so ruthless. And if the fact that Soldier ate Merasmus' "Come-Back-Stronger" pills was considered here... then Guile wouldn't really stand a chance at all, and thus the Soldier wouldn't have a place in battles like these.

Megumi: Looks like Guile's chance of victory has been rocket-shed!(Pronounced as ricochet)

Sachi: The winner is The Soldier

Soldier: I have been awarded the Purple Heart, the Orange Star, the Green Clover, the Blue Diamond, and the Big Golden Army Ball of Bravery! And I am most proud of this!

Toomi: Hey guys, thank you so much for checking out our battle in What if Battles 2.

Sachi: If you want more content like this, don't forget to add this in your library and comment if you have any idea for a fight.

Megumi: Until then, next time on What if Battles...

Trivia

* The connections between Soldier and Guile is that both combatants are American soldiers that possesses strength, power and durability beyond that of any ordinary humans, determined to kill their enemies in order to protect their friends and their country. They also has beef with the enemy team, Blue Team for The Soldier and Shadaloo for Guile

* However, the two are also seen as polar opposites as The Soldier has never been accepted nor has received any Military training while Guile is serving as a colonel in the US army

* This is the first time a Team Fortress 2 character fights a Street Fighter character

* This is the second time a Team Fortress 2 character wins a What if Battle, the first being Sombra vs Spy

* This is the fourth time a Street Fighter character loses a What if Battle, the first being Kimi vs Elena, Ryu vs Green Ranger and Cammy vs Jade

* This fight is most likely created to commemorate Guile and Cammy's appearance in Fortnite which is coincidental to Cammy's previous appearance in Cammy vs Jade

* This fight is made as a tribute to Rick May, the voice actor of The Soldier who passed away from Covid-19 back in 2020
