Verdict
Gex
The big issue with this fight is both had advantages depending neutral locations. They barely had any locations the other lacked making this trickier than expected. This by itself easily plays into ways both could easily win the fight. For example I could've a more war theme. Where both of them gets an tank. Then Conker also be giving a gun or two depending on version of the character.
They also would have access to turrets. Gex having infinite ammo while Conker could zoom helped made up the difference. I also could've gotten a more horror route. Once again Conker gets a gun that differs between versions. Although the same drawbacks that could help Gex survive a little longer. There's even going virtually The Flintstones direction.
Then Conker would've gotten a huge raptor to ride. This is just scenarios Conker could easily win. For fairness I'll point out some of Gex's easier winning scenarios. There's a huge variety of locations Gex been to that Conker never had. We could've gotten a more fairy tale direction. Where Gex dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood that can glide.
Gex also has a more Egyptian location he can ride a camel. A small advantage compared to other animals Gex rides that attacks. Swimming wise, Gex has a much easier time swimming. An underwater fight would easily be Gex's fight to lose. Gex ultimately had more variety of locations he's endured across a few games.
This version of Conker mostly had two versions of a game with an unfinished DLC for another game. Let's pretend Young Conker does not exist!!! Basically in most similar locations both easily had some critical advantages. Power ups is honestly rather one sided here. Conker barely has any notable power ups. His most famous is getting drunk to well release the lizard!!!
He does his business until he suffers an hungover. This by itself puts him at a huge disadvantage against Gex. Especially none of his powers has that issue at all. Mostly a time limit but that's it. Although this could counter Gex's fire power up. Considering Gex with that power up instantly goes out among touching water.
Well parts of urine is made of water I know why bring something that disgusting up. It's just a critical detail that had to be in there. B buttons differ in usage but that's more of a feature than an actual power up. Obviously Conker not getting that in the fight. Going back to the tank exclusion, Rodent was required for Conker to use the tank in the first place.
There's no way I'm giving Conker his friend for anything on those lines. In comparison, Gex simply drives an tank by himself. Therefore if I were to go with the war theme. I would be forced to exclude Conker's tank for fairness reasons. Yes Gex maintains an tank which some might criticize. Then again Conker also has a gun or two depending on versions.
By default, guns like those won't do much to an actual tank. Conker also more notable killable out of the two characters. Gex can either survive long falls that isn't off screen or simply climb walls. Neither option Conker has making a long fall quite deadly. By default, Conker either has an frying pan or an baseball bat.
Gex does use his tail as a weapon that notably has a longer reach. Also unlike Conker using any weapons for that matter. Gex can simply duck then keep on attacking Conker. Which is also considering Gex is notably much faster. Yes even without his speed power up. Which is much faster than his default speed.
Conker obviously struggles with faster enemies. At times, Conker tries to trick his enemies to get his way. You know like Bugs Bunny from Looney Tunes. However that won't work on Gex due to his strange addiction to Television. Yeah this guy literately watched enough stuff on there. He wouldn't be fooled by Conker's tricks.
Hell Rez even tried after his defeat in Gex: Enter the Gecko. Health wise it differs for Gex depending which game in the trilogy. I don't know what the true max you can health in the original Gex. I will say I seen enough health to be slightly higher than Conker's max health. Gex: Enter the Gecko stays about four health.
But Gex can keep particular power up flies around. If he takes a hit, those flies goes away while his health remains fine. This is critical because in Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko. His max health would be the same as Conker's plus that power up advantage. Therefore in theory he could cheat taking damage with those flying around em.
Which is why those also gotten excluded from the fight. I rather this be as fair of a fight as possible. Even if it means what might be seen as the more boring version of the same fight. I did try to spice it up before going with that decision. One or the other simply had advantages that easily given em the win. Gex ultimately better suited in using the environment.
There's also the fact Gex became an spy following an argument in Gex: Enter the Gecko. Conker is simply just a red squirrel. No mention of any jobs he had in either version of his games whatsoever. Conker does have some outfits but they're just that. In comparison, Gex's outfits may have additional surprises or not.
Two particular outfits following power ups that goes with em gains super human strength. Some of his outfits gains the ability to glide. In this case I rather have gliding than hovering. Conker could hover for a brief period of time. Gex can glide much longer depending how high up in the sky he is. It's safe to say he could more easily survive some situations.
Of course I could also went a more vampire route. Putting Bat Conker against DracuGex. Bat Conker would have a few advantages. For starters, he could fly around as well as drop crap onto people. Literately that's in both versions of Conker's Bad Fur Day. He can fly as well as attack while in the air. DracuGex mostly would have gliding going for em.
Considering Gex's default speed he would be a tricky target for Bat Conker to hit. It's possible DracuGex could gain the upper hand against Bat Conker too. By now you can see how confusing this fight can get. Once all the crazy possibilities gets brought up. All of that led to flat out gladiator style being the most direct, definitive way to determine who wins.
I also could give Gex the experience advantage since he's in a complete trilogy of games. Oh shots fired I could care less lol. End of the day, it really was the little things that determines who wins this fight. Gex simply had enough going for him to win. Not to mention, Conker only gotten so far due to getting help from people.
In comparison, Gex mostly done it alone. Yes Alfred you can make the claim all you want. All you basically done is give common sense that's it. Conker simply relies on stuff being given to him. Which even played a role during the ending of Conker's Bad Fur Day. This is also proven true with all the B buttons as well.
It's not often when Conker does something without either of those. I could argue ways Gex doesn't even need his power ups to complete his assignments. He also endured a bigger variety of locations as well. Technically more actual boss fights if you wanna consider those. Gex's TV addiction prevents Conker's trickery getting far.
In a close range fight, Gex simply too much for the red squirrel to handle. Gex even endured deep in the ocean which is exclusive to the N64 version of Gex: Enter the Gecko as well as outer space!!! Gex literately had to explore in outer space unlike Conker whose was inside a throne room sent out to space. Even that suggests Gex should win this fight.
You could criticize Gex needed cannons to be the Lizard of Oz. There's also a gorilla that ultimately defeats the Sun Snake as well. Otherwise, Gex defeated most of the bosses on his own. Gex's speed with his unique ability to climb on surfaces prevents some of Conker's best win conditions from happening. In all honestly, the worst case scenario being an underwater fight.
Even comparing the amount of oxygen they have. The sections where both had a limited supply of air. Gex's oxygen in the water lasts much longer. Even considering in outer space where his oxygen goes fast. He still likely would get air before Conker first. It's true Conker could survive a little longer than Gex in space.
Conker also easily loses focus on stuff. In fact that's exactly what triggered the events of Conker's Bad Fur Day in the first place. Gex realizing that can use it to his advantage in this fight. Gex simply has exactly what he needs in most situations without all the additional stuff to win. Conker simply falls short in many ways.
Gex also would be rather difficult for Conker to predict. In comparison, Gex could notice how similar parts of his personality is to Bugs Bunny. After all in a section he briefly dressed up as a parody of the character. Gex could easily figure out ways to constantly throw Conker off his game. At this point, Conker just can't keep up with the gecko.
Winner: Gex the Gecko (Gex)
Also heads up the next Death Battle Fight Prediction will be a three way horror Popeye fight.
