"We need to go from Super Smash Brothers to Super MATHS Brothers" Kyle.. we need to talk. It's.. about your pun usage.

RIP to all those 'ignore air resistance' questions we have in physics class who must be feeling so redundant right now lol

"It is satisfying, Ill give cap that. You gotta give him that. It is satisfying. It is satisfying. Ill give the cap that"

*Me watching with interest* Kyle: I'm actually a kirby main myself Me: I think were done here

So... captain “falcon”... can cook a “chicken”... with one “falcon” punch...

This episode has everything : video game characters, thermodynamics and mantis shrimps

“Why do Kirby players always spam down b?” 😂 This.

The real question is: How fast does a fist have to move through the atmosphere to create the sound of a falcon

"Red and yellowish plume of plasma" Is totally magenta

Kirby: "Puyo?" Translation: "Why do you hurt me so?"

Kirby: *uses down B* Kyle: You gonna break because air Kirby: *dies*

1:47 This is why a realistic Santa Claus would be horrifying.

I just realized why Kyle became a super villain, no one appreciates his puns

It makes sense that you wouldn't want an aerodynamic nose when re-entering earth's atmosphere, as you're ultimately trying to slow down.

SUPER MAAAAAAAATH BROTHERRRSSSS! "Show me your working!"

Falcon punch: "It's really strong" Ganon punch: Am I a joke to you?

If 74million N of force doesn't make sense for a humanoid to create, forceful enough to basically kill in one hit (like the power of a rocket) and as you've already covered, Captain Falcon is wearing gloves... What if his gloves are coated with a fairly flammable/combustible substance which is what ignites the Falcon Punch? Chlorine Trifluoride for example is able to set fire to almost anything by mere contact, so if Captain Falcon's gloves are coated in a layer of flouride under the Chlorine Triflouride applied, he is safe from the usual chemical reactions but any of his unsuspecting foes become easy, combustible targets for the falcon punch. As a sidenote, maybe that's why his suit also shields his eyes - some of the reaction this chemical causes releases gas that is known to damage the eyes. Regardless, excellent episode as usual! :)

“Maybe one of the most famous fiery fists in all fighting games” Shoryuken: “Am I a Joke to you?”

Kyle: "most nose cones are slanted, kinda looks like the edge of a a circle" Me: Cool ... Me: Wait what?...

Kyle: *Explains the Falcon Punch* Me: That all good and dandy but how does he see out of the white glowing triangles in his helmet?

The down-B-Kirby comment got me by surprise and I almost spilled my drink - you are not a super villian (obviously), but you got me

Fun Fact: Kirby's Down-B makes you invincible for long enough to ignore some environmental hazards in the original game. you can drop through the lava in Norfair.

Kyle to Kirby: that’s what you get for floating around the whole time! Man, just wait till he sees Jigglypuff

Captain Falcon: Falcon Pu- uh... oh... ew... Kirby: becomes a smear across the stage. Dan Forden: Toasty!

Great video, Kyle, as always! Two thoughts. First, because of equal and opposite reactions, Captain Falcon's body would have to be able to withstand the force of accelerating his fist to that ludicrous speed. Furthermore, that same force would need to be transferred to the ground beneath him, so he would need some solid footing to even get the punch moving. Alternatively, he would have to be incredibly massive everywhere besides his arm to prevent his body from recoiling during the punch. This seems more plausible since a Falcon Punch can be made falling through the air. The second point is related to the end of the punch. You described the force imparted supposing the punch lands, but the Falcon Punch is one of the most telegraphed moves in the game. What if he misses? Suddenly, all that force is distributed across his arm as the tensile strength of his bones, ligaments, muscles, and tendons fight to stop the fist at the moment of full extension. If his arm couldn't handle those stresses, he might shoot off his arm, either tearing from the shoulder or shredding the whole darn thing, in a suborbital trajectory. It this is a risk, then it would behoove Captain Falcon to resist the temptation to... show us his moves!

Here is how you get into footnotes: Love your show Kyle, been watching for a year and watched all the old episodes. Blessed be Argan oil. You are the perfect combination of brains, beauty, and brawn. Now, here is some math: When you “break wind”, the mass of that is 0.0371 grams or 0.0000371 kilograms and the sun is 1.989 x 10^30 kilograms, so the sun has the same mass as 5.361186 x 10^34 blasts from behind. 7.7 billion people in the world, at an average of 14 “events” per day, gives you 107,800,000,000 wind breaking events per day. 3.9347 x 10^13 per year. So multiply that by 13.7 billion years and you get 5.390539 x 10^23 of these that we would produce in the length of the universe. So, you divide the number of flatulence occurrences that the sun is composed of by the number we can produce in one universe: (5.361186 x 10^34) / (5.390539 x 10^23) And you get: 99,455,471,892.5 universal timespans for the current population to boom boom out the mass of the sun.

I’m gonna start calling my hand a re-entry capsule for my bones.

The real question here, how fast must Luffy's fist have to fly to generate flames....UNDER WATER?

"Kirby! C'mon" What did I do?

Hey Kyle, love the show. Question: Would there be enough air in front of his fist in that short of a distance to create fire though? I mean you were talking about spaceships and stuff... So would it apply on the fist as well? Greetings from Germany

The Martin Marietta Sprint Missile glowed incandescent at Mach 10 five seconds after launch.

i love that we can apply everything in this video to explain luffy´s gum gum red hawk , except we substitute the leather gloves with armament haki .

Shockwave "I'm not touching you!"

taking recoil into consideration, whenever captain falcon hits an opponent, he would fly off the screen and lose a life.

The placement cards at the end killed me lmao

this may very well be your best episode thus far!

What if the atmosphere on the Smashplanet is more dense than on Earth? Also, that's a lot of force; how many calories would he burn for each punch?

This reminds me of a student project from last year where they did a similar analysis on Ike's flaming sword and how fast he would have to swing to make a flaming blade. He came up with similar results from what I recall.

Most entertaining vid yet! Keep it up hun!

Dude, your SCIENCE always makes my day!

10:50 Kyle you just admitted to being a supervillain. You're studying how to Falcon Punch so you can try to copy it, aren't you?

7:07 Kyle I just need you to know that I appreciate you and your puns but that was a fantastic edit

Good Work again Because science team ty for the video.

Great episode!

Hi Kyle, I think this my first time commenting, I can't remember but just wanted to point out that you said his hand would be moving faster than anything has moved on the planet, but we have been able to move subatomic particles to travel within a few meters of the speed of light. Also, love the channel, keep up the good work and please don't send an airstrike. 😁

Can you do an episode on the science behind a real life fus ro dah from skyrim?!?!

Love your show, Kyle!! You're the best!!😂😍❤😁

Omg I love you for doing this episode!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi! Awesome episode, like always! :D I have a correction about the part with force calculation. It is allright, but assuming that the entire kinetic energy is deposited into the opponent being hit (going into their elastic and plastic deformation, catastrophic failure and so on, from engineering jargon). I believe though, that the fist at this high momentum would just smash straight through the target. Maybe it would need an actual calculation, but hey - just imagine a 15cm wide cannonball coming at you. Maybe we also have to assume that the targets are super tough? Would make sense, actually! Cheers, Loving the show!

I feel like with some hairspray and red die we could make Kyle fiery enough to look like Dark Phoenix.

Loved your shout out at the end. I'm sure the young ones will get a kick out of it and without the extra fan fair you get collateral amusement. Nice idea.

You falcOWNED this video! Great job!

0:40 I wasn't planning on getting called out like this so early in the video.

Hi Kyle, Huge fan of the show and love how much I learn from watching you. I have some issues on the data you're using to make your hypothesis. Firstly, in the n64 version the flame falcon does appear in a single frame but C.Falcon is indeed charging the energy before releasing it. It's visible by the yellow glow he emits and this is even more visible in the latest smash game where energy is concentrating on his fist before being released. So we can assume that the flames are not only produced by his velocity but also some kind of energy released when he hits. Another thing is you're only considering his falcon punch move but his other moves also emit flames. If we focus on the falcon kick it's instantly igniting when used so I think we can assume that the suit he's wearing has more to do with the flames than his actual speed. And to prove that further let's compare the falcon kick to another character's move, lucario's extreme speed. When performed simultaneously, lucario is moving faster than C.Falcon so if the smash physics apply to all the characters he should burn as well. However he doesn't so it proves that C.Falcon's flames are not a result of his speed but produced by his gear. And last point but it's more trivia, according to your "why you don't want superstrenght" video, if C.Falcon was to hit his opponents with that much force, he should be crushed instantly on impact. So either way he doesn't punch them that strongly or because video games.

Awesome video!!!

"How fast?" *continues arm pumping*

Hey Kyle! Love the show and yall did a great job as always. Speaking of punching though I have a question. How hard and fast would the superhero All Might from My Hero Academia have to punch in order to create a MASSIVE tornado like we see him do in the show? In order for a single punch to create that much air movement I'm sure it would have to be something ridiculous, perhaps more so than the Falcon Punch? Anyways, keep up the awesome videos. UNITED STATES OF SMASH!!!

Technically, a mantis shrimp doesn't fling it's "fist." Its more accurate to say that it's punch is "spring loaded"

thanks for getting back to science!

Kyle keep up the good work, Because Science is amazing. When you show the imagem of the capsule with red plasma around it the plasma itself looks like a fiery bird thing with its wings spread, like in the middle of flight

Man, do i love this channel, keep it up😁

Famous firery fist from five fighting games

Aww man, i just learned i could not add a translation... i would love to do one. Great show btw, watch a lot of your videos and keep up this great work!

Being a kirby main is all the proof I need to believe in your supervillainy, Kyle.

Hey Kyle, Just curious at that speed wouldn’t something like a fist just demolish what every it was striking like say your chest. Wouldn’t a falcon punch just go right through you like you talked about in the captain America shield episode where you did the math on how hard you would have to kick someone with the flat bottom of your boot to send them flying. Anyways Great vid! And keep it up love these types of videos.

I absolutely love all of the alliteration here. Also please watch zefrank1's video on mantis shrimp it's hilarious

hi kyle, this was definitely one of my favorite episode. im wondering what sort of effect a real life falcon punch would have on the surrounding area.

The more your midstate is blunted, the crazier these videos get. Good job kyle.

Kyle: "Ow.. Ow.. F.." Me: "HE'S ABOUT TO SAY A NO NO WORD"

Please do a video on air density in one piece (anime).

You want a huge mantis shrimp battleship? Crusty Hammer from Darius Gaiden.

You have no idea how long ive waited for this.

Hey Kyle 👋 love the show and I try to watch every episode as soon as it comes out but I've noticed something that happens alot and I can understand the reason behind it but when ever u have calculated someones punch force (one punch man, Captain America, Captain falcon, hulk, etc.) U always use only the mass of someone hand but last time I checked fists are connected to arms and arms to body's so isn't there some sort of mass percentage of someones body weight that is used in a punch that could make the calculations a bit more precise. Its a small thing but I'm just curious

0:40 I think a better question to ask would be “Why do Young link and Simon players spam B from all directions?”, but whatever.

About damn time kyle about damn time.

HA!!! I LOVE when youdid the punch at @10:00 haha tha was nice. editing and audio tooo. I heard that in your vioce

*Next on Because Science:* We explore the source of Kyle's endless supply of puns.

What happened to the amazing intro puns? I’m sad that they’re gone

Hey Kyle! this is defiantly off topic but I was skimming through some of your old videos and I had a couple (2) ideas. 1: the first one is about telekinesis. I know you don't like telekinesis because you don't understand how it could work, but hear me out for a second because I think you answered your own question without even realizing it. In many of your Thor's hammer episodes you attribute many of it's properties to the ability to manipulate theoretical gravitation particles. In my estimation if you gave a person a similar ability somehow, they would be able to manipulate objects in any way they wanted by altering how much gravity affects an object in reason to other objects in it's environment. Now this raises intriguing complications about lifting massive object by playing fast and loose with gravity. however increasing a persons own gravity until they turn into a black hole is certainly a interesting prospect. 2: I want to talk about laser bee's, as you where doing a "not" super villain phone call you offhandedly mentioned dispatching a unsuspecting victim by utilizing laser bee's. HOWEVER, as I am myself an aspiring super villain I just had to know how possible a swarm bee's equipped with DEADLY LASERS are. Assuming we can hookup bees with electronics that could control and coordinate there actions ( I mean we can already control the moment of a cockroach with a smartphone so it doesn't seem to unlikely) the real question here is can we equip a bee with a DEADLY LASER that is small and light enough for it to lift. This begs the question of exactly how deadly we want the laser to be. Well assuming your going to be controlling a entire nest (around 20,000 to 50,000 bee's I believe) of bee's, as I'd think you'd want to if not only for the pure intimidation value, I don't think each bee needs a laser that's necessarily a parented kill shot. According to the brief amount of googling I did, I can't definitively say what the exact energy output of a laser would have to be, but I did find that given the laser your using would necessarily have to have a very small area of contact, and you can find some terrifyingly small laser engravers (not to mention the dangerous as hell lasers you can just extract from a laser disk player). If you use a high frequency wavelength for the laser, it wouldn't have to be all that big or powerful to have it do some damage. However we run into a problem with the bee's themselves, an average female worker bee (the ones you'd most likely be using) can carry up to there own body weight in extra mass in flight... which is about 90mg (.0000198416 pounds). Sadly that is much less than any laser that I could find during my quick search. Maybe we can make robot bees? Oh yea actually pertaining to the episode, flaming fist are cool, but how fast would he have to punch if he wanted to heat up the air enough to CAUSE A CHAIN REACTION THAT TURNS THE ATMOSPHERE INTO A FLAMING BALL OF PLASMA!!! I swear, i'm not crazy

Woah woah woah hey, wait a minute Kyle! 1:50 Where's the sonic boom when you accelerated past the sound barrier?! Immersion ruined.

7:33 Error in the formula All Smash games run at 60 frames/second, not 30

Taking these numbers: Force = 74 MN Area of a fist (approx.) = 60 cm^2 One can get a pressure = Force/area = 12.3 GPa. Using Newton's approximation of impact depth for fast moving objects: Depth = Length of projectile * (Density of a projectile / Density of a target) Assuming you are punching a face, density of a fist and density of a face are really close, so the fist won't go further than its own length (as you have mentioned in a video). Given the speed and contact pressure, the fist and the opponents face would probably liquify and explode from the shockwave. P.S. As I use to say: "Everything is like a liquid, when it's moving fast enough." P.P.S. That was quite a "face-melting punch" **ba dum tss**

I love the "Kirby, Cmannn" -Kyle

Kyle, if we "theoretically" made a weapon that shoot a high pressurized gas/liquid, we should be able to replicate the effect (given that the material is resistent enough to resist such pressure without getting cut like butter). but is it possible with today's tecnology? maybe with a small enough test subj.....i mean Radious of the nosecone and the right proportion of density/speed (since increasing the density could allough slower speeds but it would make more difficoult reaching them). a totally non evil fan from italy.

I always wonder how he comes up with the names at the end of the episodes.

Love this channeeeeeel 😍

Long time viewer, 1st time commenter - only to say it's a shame you didn't take the opportunity, when talking about heating at high speed, to talk about the totally awesome SR71 or that good ol' dame of the supersonic skies, Concorde! The SR71 had a problem with leaking fluids at high speeds due to the materials expanding, and the later Concorde was designed with this consideration. It stretched an extra 3 feet (if I remember rightly) in length at top speed! Just a little extra real world flava on top of the Science Sundae of Awesome! Love the show!

Captain Falcon: ah yes I have a very powerful punch. Ganondorf: Not so powerful than mine.

Since Super Smash Brothers gives a specific percentage assignment of “damage” to every move, I feel like we could use this episode and Mario as a base line to induce the approximate force of all the moves.

If we take into account that this is 74x10^6 N, we also need to consider the *size* of CapFal's fist. A rocket moving at that speed is *very* different to an object that is, at *most* seven inches. A *rocket* moving with that much force is hitting escape velocity. A FIST with that much force isn't just spontaneously igniting, it's making a fiery explosion. That's why anyone hit with CapFal's fist is set on fire and not *just* his fist, it's also why fire surrounds the fist when it's thrown. It looks like a falcon, but with this in mind, what you're actually seeing is the air around CapFal and the fist being ignited and pushed away from him -- on impact, the victim is set alight by a small object with a ludicrously high temperature! Realistically, a Falcon Punch wouldn't just explode the target, it'd kill the user. CapFal should be getting... like, what, 300% damage every time he swings his fist, and meanwhile, Charizard is the only one that takes damage from a similar attack? What's fair about that?! Kyle, please demand answers from Nintendo via the use of that giant superweapon you totally (don't) have.

You can tell he loves what he does

all the other kyle's should have had different colours, it'd get confusing who you are playing if they all are the same colour.

6:55 "it would be moving faster than just about anything else on the planet has ever moved" Not counting photons, electrons, or that steel plate from the Pascal B nuclear test. Also, fellow Kirby main. I see you are a man of culture as well.

Love the addition of the Kirbs

3:46 - Flex them gunnnnnsss

Explain luffy’s power from one piece

Heeey, retake on One Punch Man's serious punch and why you don't want superspeed.

Kyle is tempting the editors' rage with all these falcon punches. Best beware he doesn't get KO'd by one.

Well... Falcon need many gloves in a fight. Great show Kyle!

Here’s a project for you that I came up with earlier “Can Darth Vader survive in outer space with his respirator?”
