Aph Fighting Headcanons: Russia/Ivan

Ivan never ‘learnt’ to fight, so he’s not a very skilled fighter. He’s good at using brute strength so heavy, blunt weapons like his metal pipe are best suited to him. And he doesn’t really know how to fight with a sword or a gun.

But Ivan is a scary guy to fight regardless of skill. Imagine being sized up by this big guy, yielding a metal pipe and emanating such a dangerous aura. Anyone getting into a fight with this guy either didn’t mean to get in a fight or is an idiot.

He initially fought out of necessity and still fights with the same basic outlook. His sole aim in a fight is to make sure the other person isn’t getting up. So how does he do that? Well hit them hard, of course. And that he does, one hit from Ivan and most people are out for the count.

Yet his movements are clunky and in a fight he’ll typically stand in one place. He doesn’t move fast. But he can take a hit. It takes a lot to actually hurt Ivan , blame it on his childhood, but most of the time, getting hit will only make him angry.

And have fun getting near him when he’s annoyed. Any close range attacks are likely to fail. And if you manage to get close enough to land a hit, it better be a strong one.

Aph Fighting Headcanons: America/Alfred

Alfred isn’t the most technical fighter. He prefers to use his guns or his fists and I don’t think he’d be particularly skilled with a sword.

His strength lies in his physical power and his fast reflexes. While he’s not the type to think a few moves ahead, he usually reacts quick enough to dodge on coming attacks.

Usually (in a non life or death scenario) he’ll make an effort to avoid punching too hard. He’s the hero, and hero’s don’t put people in the hospital when they don’t have to.

But all that swiftly goes out the window when he’s losing. Alfred has a lot of pride and any notion of heroism is gone as soon as he’s about to lose. Even in friendly spars he can get too competitive and seriously injure who he’s fighting.

With his guns, he’s almost impossible to beat. He’s fast and accurate. It would take a lot of quick thinking and luck to get one over one him.

In a fist fight (or even a sword fight) getting too close to him is a sure fire way to lose. With one good punch from him, most opponents aren’t getting back up.

Okay so like. We know Allistair and Arthur fight, and I imagine Scot like. Hurting him a lot in general (Siblings amirite). I think Scot's taller and has more muscle but Does Arthur ever win against him? How do you think their fights go? (Sorry if this doesnt make any sense ajdksjsj)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again... Imagine the chaos of living with the uk brothers.

Alistair 100% would practice wrestling moves on Arthur (in human or canonverse). He’d also be guilty of whipping any of his brothers with a tea towel whenever they’re in the kitchen. He’s that sibling y’know?

Whereas Arthur’s the sibling that’ll eat your snacks then act like they didn’t know they were yours and steal your stuff.

Fights between Arthur and Alistair probably start in one of two ways: 1) Alistair just felt like dropping Arthur, or 2) Arthur started it.

In close proximity Alistairs the one who’s going to win most of the fights, like as soon as he has Arthur in a headlock it’s over.

But I also feel like England’s a big snake who knows to keep a distance when he’s starting stuff. Like he’ll pelt a ball Alistair’s head and then run.

Or, Arthur will just use random household items to defend himself. At least once Arthur has defensively wielded a broom in front of his as he waits on Alistair’s next move.

Generally, I feel like Alistair probably wins the majority of their fights and when he loses it’s purely because Arthur’s belted him with a broom handle. Still though Arthur would get his own back somehow, there’s been at least one garage sale of all Alistairs belongings.

Aph Fighting Headcanons: England/Arthur

Arthur isn’t a particularly skilled fighter. He excels at long range attack, be that with a bow and arrow or a gun. But when it comes to fighting in close proximity he relies on underhanded methods.

Fighting against him in a place he’s familiar with, or anywhere with a lot of potential hazards, is a sure fire way to lose. He’s a jack of all trades when it comes to fighting dirty, and the speed that he’ll pull his tricks can leave even the best fighter fumbling.

He’s also very distracting in a fight. He’ll keep himself out of reach while acting like the worlds worst therapist. He has a sixth sense for finding people’s insecurities and exploiting them.

He purposefully tries to make the other person angry because when their angry they’re sloppy. They’re less likely to notice how close they are to the edge of that platform or how open they’re defense has became. It’s a risky way to fight, but Arthur’s a pro at thinking fast and dodging.

When he’s about to lose is when he’s most dangerous. He’ll use all his tricks to try get the upper hand again. It doesn’t matter what kind of fight it’s meant to be, he’ll draw his gun when it’s needed.

And, unless he’s phyically unable, he’ll keep plotting ways to get back at his opponent.

Aph Fighting Headcanons: Prussia/Gilbert

Gilbert’s a very technical fighter. Sword fights and fist fights are his main strength. And though he’s a fairly good shot, he just doesn’t care for guns. (They take all the fun out of a fight.)

Gilbert loves a smart fight. He has an uncanny ability to analyse an opponents moves and predict what they’re going to do next. And if he’s seen his opponent fight before, the fights usually finished pretty quickly.

Even without any prior knowledge, he picks up his opponents weaknesses incredibly fast. At max the other person has five moves to win before Gilbert has spotted a weakness and exploited it. His fights are like one big game of chess.

His morals are his weakness though. He has a strong belief in fair fights and when it isn’t one he falters. Any underhanded method will take him by surprise and he finds it difficult to predict the moves of a cheater. In these situations his quick reactions are his lifeline.

In terms of fighting though, he’s kind of a jack of all trades, master of none. His skill is his ability to predict someone’s moves and pinpoint their weaknesses, not fancy sword work.

Aph Fighting Headcanons: France/Francis

Francis is a very skilled fighter. While his forte is sword fighting, he’s also semi proficient with a gun (despite not liking them) and can hold his own in a fist fight.

His agility and speed are his two greatest assets in a fight. Not only is he able to attack quickly but he is able to easily block and dodge most attacks that are thrown at him.

He’s also very good at subtly stacking the odds in his favour. For example, he takes into account his surroundings and puts himself in the best position and he’ll make sure his weapon is extra sharp, ect.

Though he doesn’t need to stack the odds when it comes to sword fighting. It’s still one of his main forms of exercise, so he’s still incredibly talented at it. And he’s a terrible person to lose to because he will gloat, a lot. Even in a serious fight, he won’t kill his competitor, instead he enjoys seeing the fury in their eyes as they’re forced to yield.

It’s incredibly rare that Francis loses a fair sword fight, and there’s very few people that can beat him even in an unfair one. His ability to adapt and twist a situation in his favour makes him a formidable competitor to anyone.

Though his biggest weakness is when he is disarmed. While he can hold his own in a fist fight (mainly by dodging), he doesn’t have a particularly strong punch and people can use that to their advantage.

Aph Fighting Headcanons: Germany/Ludwig

Ludwig’s a very calculated fighter. His main weapons of choice are his guns or his fists. He also knows how to wield a sword but in comparison to skilled fighters he’s pretty clumsy.

From the first moment Ludwig meets a potential threat he’s analysing everything. That persons mannerisms, the room and everyone in the room. All are taken into account.

So when he’s actually in a fight he’s prepared. He’s already seen what their dominant hand is and analysed how likely they are to fight dirty. He’s already three steps ahead before the fight even starts.

In a fight, he’s just as observant. He notices all the small mistakes someone is making and sees any moves that person is repeating. It makes it easy for him to spot an opening and strike back. (A skill he’s perfected while training other people.)

This is vital for him. He always carries a knife on him but hand to hand fighting is his forte. When fighting against someone with a sword or a knife, his ability to predict their next moves is his best asset.

His defense is also impressive. He can usually see attacks coming and thus is able to avoid/block those attacks. It takes a lot of skill to actually land a hit on him regardless of the weapon.

Aph Fighting Headcanons: Scotland/Alistair

Alistairs a very traditional fighter. He’s very good with a broadsword and gives me a lot of knight vibes. He’s also handy with a bow and arrow and pretty good at hand to hand combat.

He’s very adaptable. While he finds a sharp and sturdy sword preferable, he’s also capable of fighting with crudely made weapons and has done so in the past.

Due to this, he’s learnt to think quickly and has a habit of carrying a knife in case of emergency. Even if he’s disarmed he is usually able to figure out another way to get the upper hand.

Though his main skill in a fight is his ability to block and counter attacks. His quick reflexes help him prepare for his opponents next move and act accordingly. He also has enough strength to easily block direct attacks without breaking his position.

He’s also very good at fighting in rough terrain and bad weather. He’s much more accustomed to fighting in the pouring rain than most people and therefore has an advantage. Muddy fields and uneven terrain are unlikely to trip him up either.

Though on the flip side, he cannot stand the heat. He’ll be a lot slower and give up a lot quicker when he’s fighting in warm places.
